YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AN OFF ROAD ENTHUSIAST TO APPRECIATE YOUR AMBITION This video should have at least 1 million views. Why? It's not only remarkable what your team accomplished. It's not only breathtaking - the journey. It's not only a worthy endeavor.

@@UnwindingRoads for trips like that,,you need diesel..manual.. no one here in aus 4x4rs with petrol, unless there a w/ender.. we need fuel to go 1,200 ks..no stops..i have 135 lt diesel..s/duty. 4.2tdi 12.5 lt 100.. plus 2 jerry,s. you need to do it next yr. with 5 cameras & 6 tf cards..just incase.. great vid, .
Really enjoyed your retelling of the trip. Different vibe than Shaun’s videos of the trip and I appreciated that about it (absolutely no shade to Shaun’s videos, they are also excellent). Thanks for putting this together, I needed this in my life today!
Loved watching Shaun's story and now yours! It was still a nice story with what footage you managed to save. And congrats on hitting 5000 subscribers!! YAY!!
Thank you very much. I think this will be the way I do things moving forward. 1 longer episode instead of breaking it up into shorter episodes. It seems to be enjoyed more this way. Really appreciate your feedback. Cheers!!
Wow! I really like your story on this trail. You gave us a lot of detail and even though you lost some or maybe a lot of your video footage. You had enough to give us a really good feel for how hard you all worked. It reminded me of the Lewis and Clark expedition in the US for challenges and strenuous labor. Alexander MacKenzie would have worked just as hard as Lewis and Clark based on what I saw you guys having to do to get the trail open. Congratulations. And thank you for sharing your story. I won't ever be doing the trail, myself but this was the next best thing.
You and Shawn from THE STORY TILL NOW should seriously talk to JEEP about a sponsorship this video and all the other videos you guy do is the perfect platform to show we’re one can go and the adventures you can undertake with a JEEP
I was recommended the movie version of you and your friends adventure so I watched it and then come to find your channel. What an amazing trip. So glad you made it through the whole way and so glad you didn’t end up like Ernie. Sad your truck won’t be doing any more trails but subscribed to see your new adventures. Thank you for sharing your amazing adventure with us all.
bummer that you lost so much footage, but still a great job on capturing the essence of the trip, particularly the extended time with the saws, and the drone shots are great. Took me back, we went through there in 2000. Our trip was eastward, we started at Gatcho Lake but on the eastern end we got crossed up and exited before Kluskoil, ended up in Nazko. Well done!
Dude! That was absolutely the best adventure/off-road video that I have seen. The editing was great along with the music. Watched The Story Till Now video several months back but just found yours,both were great!! That was a hellava adventure that you guys will remember forever GREAT JOB.
So glad I went back and watched it from the start. Wow, what an adventure. Sorry that you lost some important footage, but even without it, this video tells a great story. Congrats on finishing the trail. Too bad about all of the damage to your Gladiator, let's see what you come up with for the new one.
Actually Anahim Lake is the new end of the trail. In 1981 our club, Lionsgaters 4WD Club of North Vancouver, went through Tweedsmuir as was allowed in those days. Nice trip coverage though and Hi Shaun!
Very interesting! I think in time the trail will get shorter and shorter.... Who knows. That must have been a completely different experience back in 81! Wow
Hey, great video. I have seen you on several of Shaun's videos, but finally made my way to your channel. Glad I did, great content. I have to ask.... just how bad were the bugs? We have mosquito's down here, but those looked a lot bigger and a lot more aggressive lol. Don't sweat the lost footage, you produced a great video. Currently building my Gladiator, hope to have some new content with it this summer.. Love the Gladiators!
Welcome to the channel! I've been in really bad bug situations where you're constantly slapping the mosquitos off you. This was way way worse than anything I've experienced. You'd regularly have 3 at the same time biting just your face. You couldn't open your mouth to breathe or you'd get 5 bugs in there. The netting was a life saver. Congratulations on your gladiator! Best platform right now for sure!
Awesome Video! This Video makes me want to got get another Jeep and try overlanding. Maybe someday working up the skills to trying a trail like that one
33:08 The exact reason why I wheel with old technology-which still isn't perfect. MY TJ still has a computer but the worst I ever seen is the check engine due to the O2 sensor. Funny stuff, you can never carry too many spare parts without saying "Did I forget something? Damn 10mm's". Wish I was with you guys.
I wish I never sold my tj. Someone offered me what I thought was a stupid amount of money for it. So it left. But you're so right. Sensors suck! And this dual battery system is awful!
You cannot beat the experience you endured though. That stuff is gold! Like I said, I wish I was there. End of day...when you are laying there in bed..you will laugh at this. Be safe@@UnwindingRoads
Oh an by the way. If you haven't already totally wiped your memory on your lost file. Purchase a Zilkee ultra recovery converter. I recovered corrupted files on an external hard drive. It's a great tool. 👍
Fyi There's an Amateur Repeater in the Lake Tatla area. I used it to call a friend in Bella Coola to let him know where I was. I was also thinking that if you had HF. You could have used 40 m to reach the group waiting for you when you were getting fuel. Enjoyed the video
I think the Olight Obulb Plus would work wonders on a trip like this... it has a magnetic base u can attach to your off roader and or any metallic surface and with the Bluetooth app you can remotely change colors and effects or turn on and off from your smartphone... cool light for dark areas or colorful light 🎉 for camping outdoors. ❤
They did! I'm not sure which map they used originally but definitely missed some sections. Shaun mapped it out for onyx as close to the original as possible. Even xo failed the first time they attempted it. It's a tough trail for sure.
Ugh. You're right. That would have definitely added to the video. The lost footage did have all the preparation, but I could have recapped better. I appreciate your comment.
@@stevenpeterson7234 I love it. But, I have done some mods to it that some people wouldn't be comfortable doing..... The fuel economy and power is unbelievable.
Did I miss something, the thumb nail and description, makes it sound like you lost your jeep, you didn't destroy it, just a little trail rash. I watched the entire video thinking you lost the jeep in the river. Sounds like click bait to me. However I will say awesome job on getting thru the trail, and footage.
It was it's final trip. It had some other problems as well. I'm going to address it all in the video where I talk about getting my new truck. The trip cost me my jeep and about 5 thousand dollars to complete. I definitely won't make 5 thousand from this video lol. Thank you for watching and the comment. Unfortunately getting ppl to click is part of the TH-cam game. But it is true. Trucks gone and the trip was very expensive.
@@UnwindingRoads looking forward to seeing that video of how it cost you your jeep. This was an epic trip. . I can see how things can get out of hand. Im planning a make or break trip in April, not you tube, just big deal for an old guy. . . lol
@@WhiteCavendish i think the hiking trail is a little longer. I googled the alexander mackenzie hiking trail and from where we left the trail (eliguk lake) it looks like it stays north longer. The road out was more direct...
@@UnwindingRoads Bummer. So aggravating that they've shut down the rest of the trail. I would feel extremely bummed not being able to complete the trail and find Mackenzie's marker at the end. Thanks for sharing, though; your vid has suffered little from the lost footage, as it still turned out excellent.
We saw some markings and saw a couple of black bears. But never any grizzlies. We had pew pewwws and bear spray.... Didn't see deer, or moose either.... We did see what looked like a pterodactyl tho.
@@levelup3426 for me was about 2k in fuel, about 1500 in general maintenance before leaving, as well as chainsaw chains and files, and then I traded in the jeep after this trip for a more expensive jeep lol we also spent about 500 in food but not sure if that counts.
Man I feel your pain. Im brand new to this youtube game I wanted to start filming my journeys too. I recently did a 4 day 3 night trip with 3 other rigs across the mojave trail. My camera didnt save the first two days and nights of my trip...I was devastated and want to give up on it all together. But I see this happends to nearly everyone
We have them. Messaging on Garmin is a pain. We also had starlink. I have zoleo. Messaging on it is the same as Garmin, such a pain. Great for emergencies.
95 percent of the footage on my main camera was gone. I still had footage from my go pro and drone. The 48 minute video was from that. I should have had 5 videos like this one. The jeep is gone, this was it's last run. The trip cost me about 5k and I ended up getting a new gladiator. There will be more videos coming on that topic. I can assure you I won't make 5k on this video nevermind the cost of the new jeep. Lol cheers. Appreciate your comment.
A clear indication of click bait would be not many views. Because people would click it, see that it's not what the thumbnail and title says, and then leave. TH-cam would see that as a video not worth pushing. This is my most watched and highest retention video ever, so I'm curious what part of it is click bait? We're you expecting to see the truck float down the river? This was it's last trip, because of this trip. Could have repaired it but I didn't. Upcoming videos will show why. Anyways you got a long answer for trolling. Appreciate the comment! Cheers.
@@UnwindingRoads Nice of you to take the time. I think your definition of what click bait is, is too content creator focused. To us normies the fact you state that you will never recover from this financially is clickbait. You do you. You knew that off-roading can go bad, and everyone that plans this trip knows that the trail is often overgrown and flooded. So I am certain you knew that this was a possibility going in. People stayed and watched (me included) and subscribed to you more than normal to support you. That is the human answer to why it has great numbers and retention. Nothing to do with your misguiding title. That and everyone likes drama, clearly you too. Otherwise, why so salty about my comment. Less salt would be appreciated, and calling someone a troll just for that is just childish.
We are Canadian, and this is in Canada. You also said the offroad world in the United States. United States is 1 of 4 countries in the world of 195 countries that uses miles. But to be fair.... 56 percent of my audience, and my target audience is in the USA. So I should probably adopt miles. Like I did in the title of my latest video!
so what , trail groomers from many snowmoble and cross country ski clubs in wisconsin and that state da horns on they,re city colledge football team.then you have north/south line of our bro,s and sisters ,that are suffering from the queens land,thats treuo dow... aye, oregon till you hit n.e. coast, so change ,epic music please?????
Ok cool but this was the last section of trail that the first person ever went from coast to coast. Ever. That makes it the most historic. I'm not saying it's the best. There's no trail older than the first one lol
How did you guys fuck up with running out of fuel??? Lol There is literally no shortage of info about this trail and how much fuel you need to complete it. This is practically a right of passage now. ( run out of gas and send somebody out on a 5 hour journey to get gas. 🤣🤣) Everybody needs to bring 150 liters plus leave quesnel with a full tank, no unnecessary idling, and you will make it. Np. I'm sorry to be a dick, but Holy fraaack! Let's educate people and see a video that doesn't include an emergency trip , looking for fuel after day3. Lol
We had enough (extra 100 liters per vehicle). We would have made it. But as you know this trail can be very unpredictable depending on how much cutting needs to be done. Better to run in to town at that point and not worry about it.
I had 2 go pros, drone and main camera. It was my main camera footage that was gone. Well 95 percent of it the last 3 days I had it but there wasn't much of the trail left at that point. Sucks. But really happy that this video is being watched this much. By far the channels most viewed. Cheers.
Nobody was angry. But ya very frustrating situation. It's funny hoe many people have no idea what was going on even though it's all there on video. Just have to really pay attention to understand.
@UnwindingRoads all good mate we all get testy now and then. It was just different seeing that side of an epic trip. Most people would've left that part out but it just goes to show its not all rainbows and unicorns. Cheers and Happy 4 wheel driving 👍

@@UnwindingRoads Thats it, lol.
@@Beacon_Offroad and the thumbnail. Lol the rest was GoPro and drone pretty much. Till tsacha lake
Another great video from you, sir. Its amazing to watch you all doing something that so very few are able or capable of doing.
I have to hand it to Shaun for organizing and leading this trip. And of course Braun for giving me the confidence to do it.
I watched this epic journey on The Story Till Now and it was awesome.
One for the books that's for sure!
Sorry that you lost such memorable and significant footage of a 4x4 Overlanders bucket list trip.
I'll just have to go back and create the video I know I can make! Won't be the same though. Now I know what to expect
Never seen your channel before, you did a great job with the footage you had! I wonder what I missed?! This was great! Not enough subs. LFG.
Welcome to the channel! Thank you for checking us out! Very much appreciated.

Great video Teddy! Where’s Scout?
Thank you! Unfortunately on this trip I packed 2 fridges. One acted as a freezer and there was no room for Scout. He would have loved the trip.
I know it sucks big time losing footage. You still did a great job of editing a cohesive video with what you didn't lose though!
Thank you!
dope!
Thank you!
cool dude!
Thank you!
That was insane, i did crazy things on my dirt bikes and my older Jeep Cherokees but that was epic.

Sounds good
Great job on the video Teddy especially considering you lost so much footage. Perfect way to unwind after work at 3am. 🤙🏽
Glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you very much.

It was just a cheap baofeng radio. I now have a proper kenwood
Is it a vhf Thanks
@@Tack243 yes vhf
Video was awesome!! Had me laughing at all the jokes!!
Lol you know what wasn't a joke? The river crossing..... 😂😂
@Unwinding Roads yeah no kidding, definitely a butt clincher moment!!
Good video, can you tell us more about the radio your yusing ? Is it cb radio?
Thank you. It is a vhf kenwood nx-5700
i feel your pain, teddy. Every time I record on a GoPro, I get corrupt files.
Believe it or not, I've never had currupt filed before. But if course it had to be this trip...... 😡🤬😭
Expedition Overland cleared and mapped the Mackenzie Trail 5-6 years ago. Great video on their channel
They did! I'm not sure which map they used originally but definitely missed some sections. Shaun mapped it out for onyx as close to the original as possible. Even xo failed the first time they attempted it. It's a tough trail for sure.
Hi guys. very cool. Do you have any track left of how you drove? I want to repeat your trip.
Yes you can download the track from google. It's called the Alexander Mackenzie Grease Trail
Heard about this trail a while ago. Would love to do it.
it's definitely a once in a lifetime trip.
It's a real shame to have lost footage but you have made an excellent job from what was left.
Thank you very much. It was a tough edit but I'm happy wit how it turned out. Glad you enjoyed it!
That’s kick a$$ adventure Teddy 😮😅 what happened to the fella in the yellow Jeep?!
Alex had to head back for work. He was from Texas. Long drive lol had to beat rush hour 😂
I'm building a custom 91' 4Runner so I can do trips just like this. Can't wait until my project is finished so I can hit the tails.
That's awesome!!
I little history of the trail, how you prepared for the journey, how much fuel you used would be nice information.
Ugh. You're right. That would have definitely added to the video. The lost footage did have all the preparation, but I could have recapped better. I appreciate your comment.
79k views 🎉 way to go
Pretty cool!
@4:10 Is that a stubby UHF antenna? Looks like it may be for 800 MHz! Wondering what radio you were using it for?
That is correct. I have a kenwood nx-5700 good eye
@@UnwindingRoads Nice. That's a very short antenna for VHF. I'm running a Diamond 1/4 wave on my JK tire carrier for the Motorola XTL5000.
How much fuel did your Gladiator consume for the trip? Great video by the way.
Thank you! My gladiator was the most fuel efficient (6 spd manual, 38 inch tires and regeared to 4.88) and consumed a full tank plus 85 liters.
Do you have all-terrains on or are they mud tires
They are all terrains... Nitto ridge grapplers. I highly do NOT recommend!!!!! I ordered some nitto trail grapplers, and am currently running Toyo mt
What can antenna mount do you have ?
Eightwood dual band
Thanks
Hey thanks for sharing. Would you do it again is the question?
I would. I know what to expect now. I'd love to take the ecodiesel on this trip.
Awesome video!! Awesome trail!! Nice trucks!! Are they diesels? I wish I could have been there with my 2010 Tacoma TRD off road minimax!!
No diesels on this trip. I traded that white gladiator for a silver diesel gladiator right after this trip. You absolutely should do this trail!

How much chainsaw oil did you go through on the trip?
Lol half of 1 liter bottle per person. Good question!
How much further was it from the spot you stopped to the coast?
About 2 hours of hwy driving. (134 klms)
@@UnwindingRoadssimilar distance hiking the trail? Or was the trial significantly more direct?
@@WhiteCavendish i think the hiking trail is a little longer. I googled the alexander mackenzie hiking trail and from where we left the trail (eliguk lake) it looks like it stays north longer. The road out was more direct...
@@UnwindingRoads Bummer. So aggravating that they've shut down the rest of the trail. I would feel extremely bummed not being able to complete the trail and find Mackenzie's marker at the end. Thanks for sharing, though; your vid has suffered little from the lost footage, as it still turned out excellent.
@@WhiteCavendish thank you. The marker at the end is accessible by boat. I'm not sure if the trail goes that far...
Did you have any concerns with grizzles?
We saw some markings and saw a couple of black bears. But never any grizzlies. We had pew pewwws and bear spray.... Didn't see deer, or moose either.... We did see what looked like a pterodactyl tho.
How much exactly was waited for the trip?
I'm not sure what you mean by waited for the trip?
@@UnwindingRoads sorry, auto correct. I meant to ask how much was total costs for the trip?
@@levelup3426 for me was about 2k in fuel, about 1500 in general maintenance before leaving, as well as chainsaw chains and files, and then I traded in the jeep after this trip for a more expensive jeep lol we also spent about 500 in food but not sure if that counts.
Man I feel your pain. Im brand new to this youtube game I wanted to start filming my journeys too. I recently did a 4 day 3 night trip with 3 other rigs across the mojave trail. My camera didnt save the first two days and nights of my trip...I was devastated and want to give up on it all together. But I see this happends to nearly everyone
Make a video with what you have. You'll be happy you did
@@UnwindingRoads Im going to try. Your video still came out great. The AM trail is definitely a bucklist trip!
@@PLT123 absolutely. If you ever do it. Back up the footage! 😂
Man for loosing so much video and still able to put out almost an hour of content. Well done man 👍🏼
Thank you Frank. It was a really hard edit but I'm happy with how it turned out. 10 days of footage lol
Not ,only half way
Half full.
get back in the truck teddy!
I can't! I'm too busy losing evidence! I mean footage!!! 😂
That will teach you. Always back up your shit on multiple devices and use multiple cameras.
Lesson learned.
Garmin In-reach would solve your comm issues. You guys are in a quarter million $ of vehicles... spend the $15/mo on the Garmin...
We have them. Messaging on Garmin is a pain. We also had starlink. I have zoleo. Messaging on it is the same as Garmin, such a pain. Great for emergencies.
👍🏻
👍👍
How you lose all the footage, make a 48 minute video, and not even explain the missing footage or missing Jeep?
95 percent of the footage on my main camera was gone. I still had footage from my go pro and drone. The 48 minute video was from that. I should have had 5 videos like this one. The jeep is gone, this was it's last run. The trip cost me about 5k and I ended up getting a new gladiator. There will be more videos coming on that topic. I can assure you I won't make 5k on this video nevermind the cost of the new jeep. Lol cheers. Appreciate your comment.
Clickbait, fun.
A clear indication of click bait would be not many views. Because people would click it, see that it's not what the thumbnail and title says, and then leave. TH-cam would see that as a video not worth pushing. This is my most watched and highest retention video ever, so I'm curious what part of it is click bait? We're you expecting to see the truck float down the river? This was it's last trip, because of this trip. Could have repaired it but I didn't. Upcoming videos will show why. Anyways you got a long answer for trolling. Appreciate the comment! Cheers.
@@UnwindingRoads Nice of you to take the time. I think your definition of what click bait is, is too content creator focused. To us normies the fact you state that you will never recover from this financially is clickbait. You do you. You knew that off-roading can go bad, and everyone that plans this trip knows that the trail is often overgrown and flooded. So I am certain you knew that this was a possibility going in. People stayed and watched (me included) and subscribed to you more than normal to support you. That is the human answer to why it has great numbers and retention. Nothing to do with your misguiding title. That and everyone likes drama, clearly you too. Otherwise, why so salty about my comment. Less salt would be appreciated, and calling someone a troll just for that is just childish.
@@niki3151 fair enough. I appreciate your explanation. I take back my troll comment!
Horse hair show.
I'm not sure what horse hair show means?
These clickbait titles are getting kinda silly within TH-cam. Sorry, instant “do not recommend” from me.
What's clickbait about it? The jeep is gone! That trip was extremely expensive.
Why is everyone in the offroad world in the united states starting to use kilometers instead of just sayings miles like we normally do.
We are Canadian, and this is in Canada. You also said the offroad world in the United States. United States is 1 of 4 countries in the world of 195 countries that uses miles. But to be fair.... 56 percent of my audience, and my target audience is in the USA. So I should probably adopt miles. Like I did in the title of my latest video!
so what , trail groomers from many snowmoble and cross country ski clubs in wisconsin and that state da horns on they,re city colledge football team.then you have north/south line of our bro,s and sisters ,that are suffering from the queens land,thats treuo dow... aye, oregon till you hit n.e. coast, so change ,epic music please?????
Ok cool but this was the last section of trail that the first person ever went from coast to coast. Ever. That makes it the most historic. I'm not saying it's the best. There's no trail older than the first one lol
Dude can you pass the crack pipe please? That’s some good stuff.
How did you guys fuck up with running out of fuel??? Lol
There is literally no shortage of info about this trail and how much fuel you need to complete it. This is practically a right of passage now. ( run out of gas and send somebody out on a 5 hour journey to get gas. 🤣🤣)
Everybody needs to bring 150 liters plus leave quesnel with a full tank, no unnecessary idling, and you will make it. Np.
I'm sorry to be a dick, but Holy fraaack! Let's educate people and see a video that doesn't include an emergency trip , looking for fuel after day3. Lol
We had enough (extra 100 liters per vehicle). We would have made it. But as you know this trail can be very unpredictable depending on how much cutting needs to be done. Better to run in to town at that point and not worry about it.
so you preppred everything except
2 is 1 and 1 is none
but really should have brought 5 cameras instead of 1 ?
I had 2 go pros, drone and main camera. It was my main camera footage that was gone. Well 95 percent of it the last 3 days I had it but there wasn't much of the trail left at that point. Sucks. But really happy that this video is being watched this much. By far the channels most viewed. Cheers.
we are American - miles please
That was the bald eagle conversion! Hahaha
Were you the one that got angry and frustrated in the story till now
Nobody was angry. But ya very frustrating situation. It's funny hoe many people have no idea what was going on even though it's all there on video. Just have to really pay attention to understand.
@UnwindingRoads all good mate we all get testy now and then. It was just different seeing that side of an epic trip. Most people would've left that part out but it just goes to show its not all rainbows and unicorns.
Cheers and Happy 4 wheel driving 👍
@@Hazardbone I left it out because I didn't have footage of it. I had Braun and Shaun go through but I didn't film any for myself lol
