- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ก.ย. 2024
- Back in 2013 on the team's first overland adventure to Alaska, they attempted to drive up to the well-known Knik Glacier. The team found themselves in over their heads-literally, and had to turn back. Now, eight years later, Clay once again has his sights set on taking the team to see this incredible glacier. The way is proving to be just as it was before, replete with powerfully flowing rivers, deep mud, and technical challenges. Hopefully, the team can work together to find a way to the glacier. Whether they make it or not, their attempt will doubtlessly lead to an unforgettable adventure.

Hands down the best part of this is watching your son grow and learn. It's so rewarding to see someone learn on the fly through real world trial and error.
Jaw dropping cinematography. Great production
Doc John has one of the most important roles on this series, not just as a doctor, but a crew member and friend. His attitude towards life and wise words are truly something to live by.
You have to be 💪 and smart to do anything in alaska let's be honest 🗻
Doc John honestly a top 3 player in this trip. He is just a well intentioned wise man and has so much to offer.
Thank you for watching! This is one of our favorites, we learned, we laughed, and we can't believe its been almost 9 years since we were here last!
I remember the last Alaska visit like it was yesterday. Thanks for the incredible memories.
Hey guys, I actually "live" right next to you(see my channel for what I do/how i live). Any chance we could meet up? I'd love to see the builds and would love to pick your brains about some tech questions on my current setup. And I'd love to have the opportunity to do a walk around on some of the rigs to let my subscribers(although admittedly I am a tiny channel) see your awesome setups.
You guys have been very influential for my lifestyle change and I'd love to have the opportunity to meet y'all...Although I did get to meet clay a couple years back in the wholesale sports parking lot
Come to India brother ❤️
Love from India ❤️
Thx u for an amazing video...
I took my stock Tacoma to the Knik glacier 2 weeks after getting it from the dealership and it started raining hard on the way back and I thought I was about to lose my brand new truck in a flood 😂
Best episode yet guys! 👏
Thank you!!
🤘🤘🤘🤘🇨🇦
Your journeys are absolutely AMAZING!!! The places you visit, the photography, the wildlife... simply breathtaking, Thank you all so much for bringing us along with you!
Thank you for watching!
For most local Alaskans in the Palmer area, this is a normal day trip with the kids. No expedition required haha. Jim Creek is great and the view at the Knik glacier never gets old.
Are you serious That's amazing a everyday trip seriously
@@cornell833he said “day trip” not “everyday”. As in they go there and back in one day
I was about to comment the same. A 12-year-old and his friends on 4 wheelers go from the parking lot to glacier and back in a day. Hell, i know a high school kids who went in and out on a fat tire bike.
Kudos to the filmmaker for editing it into an epic story though.
Every time I watched these videos it always amazes me. Alaska is truly a GODs country.
I lived in AK for two years and I loved every moment. Alaska and its people will always have a place in my heart. Thank you for the amazing content and for taking me back to one of the most beautiful places on earth. You can definitely feel that God spent a little extra time here creating all of it.
This is unbelievable!! The production is absolutely amazing! I feel like I am watching the Discovery channel or Nat Geo! Huge fan here though guys! I have been following XO for a long time and I am constantly entertained! I look forward to new episodes, great work!
So true 💯
Quite the Adventure! Hope you guys know how many of us are watching and living thru your eyes!! Love it !!
Such an awesome show! Thank you for taking us along your journey and a helicopter donut delivery was just epic!
Man that's just beautiful at 23:12
1:59 to 2:20 that was cinematic AF!!!!
Absolutely incredible episode! Brings back memories of watching my very first XO episode of your first Alaska trip and thinking damn, this is what I want to be doing. And then... I did it. Thanks for the constant inspiration folks, this was my favourite episode yet.
So glad that you loved it!🙌
The content that Clay and the boys produce is above and beyond any other overland series! Keep it coming boys!! Maybe you could do sweepstakes and one of your fans could join!!
Glad you guys made it up to the Knik, heading up there next week in the Samurai haha.
Love all your content wish I could sit down and have a cup of coffee and just talk with you guys! So many stories and knowledge
Thank you!
Wow !!! Watching these episodes of your journey through Alaska just makes me want to go back again. My wife and I took a cruise for our 30th anniversary up to Alaska (Aug 2019). We did some fun things Ie; Kayaking through Icy Strait, taking a helicopter up onto a glacier, seeing and HEARING a glacier calving from the deck of the cruise ship. Horse back riding through the back country outside of Anchorage. Clay seeing you sit and absorb your surroundings while at Knik brought back all these memories. Thank you. As I told my wife if we ever get the chance to go back, the way you are exploring Alaska is how we need to do it. Hands down some of the best videography ! cannot wait to see more!
Love that a Xterra made a cameo
The Crawl control for me would be one of the reasons I would specifically look at a Toyota for offroad.
Couldn't agree more.
Make memories (now) with your loved ones. It doesn't need to be an epic location like Alaska, just a weekend or a week long road trip. To a place you haven't been to before. Discover new places. Enjoy each others company.
Enjoy theses moments while you can. They're priceless.
Thanks for posting. Looking forward to the next episode...
Thank you!
Just when I think these videos can't get better...BAM, here comes another one. Great job guys.
My Son just took off in a bush plane with a man I've never met. He landed pretty good, so I was like "yea go for it". That is pretty awesome.
Why, why, why did you have to put a Huey sound over the robinson? Haha
Love your stuff.
Lol. One day maybe I’ll get to fly a huey. But until then, I’ll just make huey noises over the Robbie rubber band noises. 😂🚁
One word. UNIMOGS!
So cool to see Justin back again! Back when I watched the old Alaska trip I used to be a hardcore Toyota fanboy, but that one episode where the Xterra and the 100 was forging through a river crossing in slo mo, from then on I started believing in Nissans :)
So beautiful it hurts. The camaraderie, scenery, and adventure make my heart ache.
Such a amazing trip!
The boys are so lucky to be out there in back country with their dads !!
your Alaska journey is amazing.
Wow, We really enjoyed watching the episode, wonderfully filmed! keep having fun.
Thank you for taking the time to capture the adventure you took
Man , machines and nature !!!!! What absolutely beautiful footage and story line ….. I’ve followed you since your original videos …. Thank you for all the incredible energy and effort it took to make these incredible videos to share with us !! Please continue…. What beautiful place our world is !!
Just breath taking. What you didn't conquer few years back, you guys rock this time. Can't wait for next episode. 🏆🏆🏆
Absolutely incredible views...!!!
Beautiful photography and videography and storytelling. Great to see a father's reaction to setting up his son for a lifetime memory. Really appreciate the time, talent, and treasure expended to make this available. Regardless of how well built the rigs are, I'm starting to think the bush pilots are on to something.
Agreed! What an awesome job that would be!
Those bush planes and pilots are badass! Good decision on that river crossing, live to fight another day. Wow! To see wolves in the wild is a rare treat. Such majestic animals. Spectacular is an understatement when describing the experience of seeing those glaciers. SENSATIONAL!!!
Dang… I watched everything you guys have done since finding XO and this was my favorite for so many reasons. You all have gotten so detailed in the things most people will miss in these videos. So happy to you all for doing these videos
Osam Ending
Beautiful
Got me all in the Alaska adventure spirit. Good work guys can't wait for Chapter 4 😊.
Awesome, thank you!
The most majestic prize of all , makes a tear drop fall from my eye , just one drip 💧 compared to many as far as you can see 🧊
Just such a majestic special place. Thanks XO 👍👍
We agree!
One of the best series I have ever came across on TH-cam! Even though you're not in the trip but still helps you learn soo much, helps you understand yourself just by watching it. I wonder how amazing it would to actual experience such things. Always hope of doing it someday. Just amazing and breath taking. And very special applause to the way you guys captured entire trip, getting out of the truck placing cameras, scenes from drones in such conditions that's just something else.
Just amazing
We love it. We lived in Palmer so its nice to see our old places we visited. Hatcher Pass is epic!
Awesome!
I grew up in Anchorage and every weekend would go out there and mob our trucks, and I have lost three trucks out there! Good times and beater learner trucks but still fun times and a great area to explore back there!
What an amazing and inspirational series ! Thanks so much for making this videos !
Always looking for new content and channels I can follow.
Found!
I had to write and say a big thank you for all the content you create, but this series and this episode in particular just blows me away, it’s 100% some of the best content I’ve ever watched, and it’s truly inspiring. I’m watching your Nordic series as it comes out and I’m now planning my own Nordic trip for 2024/25 in my Toyota Proace van.
The shot where the planes was flying over the trucks, but under the drones was awesome!!!
Excellent as always. The Wolf pups might have been the coolest thing I've seen in awhile, such smart animals. Good to see the kid go up in the plane and get some seat time in the trucks. Cheers ! from N.B. CAN.
Words don't explain it. This series speaks directly to my soul.
So glad that you are enjoying!
You guys are living my dream I want to live in Alaska and watching this makes me feel like I’m there
man i love this expidition love you all
Can’t wait!
Awesome ! Brilliant !
I kept waiting for Clay to just push a big wad of mud in Dan's face. This makes me want to take my Z to Alaska even more, summer is coming time to see if I can swing it.
The low pass of the bush planes at 2:00 was beautiful, truly.
WOW !!!!!
Fantastic story telling!
I live in the Palmer area and remember seeing your rigs and wondering who you were and what you were up to. Thanks to TH-cam recommending your videos, now I know! Hatcher Pass is my family’s favorite playground, especially in the summer. It’s fun watching other people experience Alaska the way the locals do! Can’t wait to finish watching the series to see where else you go.
Your journeys are absolutely AMAZING!!!
Absolutely incredible. I'll say it again boys, you're the luckiest young men on earth.
Keep up the great work. I've been following your work for a while now, and it keeps getting better with every video.
We used to camp at the sand dunes where Jim Creek comes out of the trees to the river and go to the glacier from there. It’s crazy how long it takes to drive the roughly 15 miles from Jim Creek to the glacier. We usually had a couple ATVs and a few trucks and used the ATVs for scouting the best routes. If the ATVs made it we knew the trucks would likely make it. The water changes daily and can rise overnight. I know people who have camped in flat dry areas only to be woken up by water coming into their tents because of the rising river.
We flew to the Knik Glacier when we were in Alaska last summer. It was incredible; my (and my kid's) first ride in a helicopter. Maybe someday I'll drive it like you did. So far this series is a preview of a trip I hope to make in the future.
Incredible. Such a well done film. This takes me back to the old days of XO; a lot has changed, and I know the team has gotten better, but I still like some of those earliest films best. Power to you guys moving forward, and happy adventuring!
Amazing camera, editing and sound score work, guys! Thanks for sharing and inspiring!
Just amassing one of the best videos of Alaska, thank you guys for these videos.
wonderful
Cliff hanger ending!!! Awesome episode! I hope to take my son to see Alaska one day! Clay your vision, drive, determination, team building and leadership is so inspirational...oh and your quotes are unforgettable!
Thank you very much!
Omg, what a special moments you guys to just soaked in front of amazing glaciers.
Amazing!
Always love the shows. The great thing about living here is these are all in my backyard.
Doing that route in the winter is pretty great. That lake freezes over in the winter and you can drive right up to the glacial wall. You can find videos of it on TH-cam.
Another awesome Trail Run awesome footage again thank you folks for sharing this adventure 👍🇺🇸🗽👍
Your Rigs are spot on 👍
The Vermonter in the ❄ 🏔 Snow!!

Stoked
Wow what a beautiful area of Alaska . Enjoyed this video very much thanks . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. 😄🍻👍🏼
Oh geeez! I vividly remember the first series and I've been hooked on XO for almost a decade now...Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you!
Two awesome places, knik glacier and hatcher pass! I have lived here my whole life just about but still enjoy videos about it
Best episode yet! Scenery is absolutely amazing, and the use of the trucks for the river crossings was incredible. Can't wait for Episode 4!
Sensational
That reminded me of the best of the original Alaska series and my own memorable experiences there years ago. Well done.
This chapter was simply AWESOME 👏🏼Can’t wait for the next chapter to unfold 👍🏼
Amazing, enjoying the return to Alaska. Thank you all, lots of time and effort to bring us along for the journey.
