You have to have a giant set of balls and real driving skill to drive the Alaska highway in winter. With a truck camper. With a trailer. Well done brother.
Not that hard really. Just need to have a plan. And plenty of backups inb case a emergency. A backup for your backup for your backup. Plus he can live in the truck for weeks at a time.
You know, when you kept seeing that Raven, it made me think of my brother when he had passed away. Since that day, I've always seen a huge Raven everywhere I went. A week later, my sister in law passed also, and then there were always 2 Ravens everywhere I went. I thought of him each time you showed your Raven and just knew that your step dad had passed. My brother even died off pancreatic cancer. Brightest Blessings of Healing Love and Light surround you 💫✨️💫
I like the way that when things go wrong (and they inevitably do), you take it in stride. You don’t stomp off swearing and lamenting like it’s the end of the world. It’s like “bummer, that sucks”, and you press forward. Keeping the stress levels down. We could all take a lesson from that.
You have the same tinacity and positive outlook that Foresty Forest has. No wonder you are blowing up on TH-cam! Congrats on all your successes. It’s been exciting to watch.
Still amazes me, Alaska! I was just eight years old when Alaska became the 49th US State. It was a very big deal, in 1959. Many Americans thought it a useless aquisition, other than to keep an eye on the Russians, lol. Alaska is a gem and it's hard to believe after all these decades, it has only a population of less than 750,000 residents not counting the bears, as of the 2020 census. For those brave residents, wild & rugged, yet a paradise!
Hey brother something to think about, you always at the very least want to start your truck and make sure your oil pressure is up before ever starting that high idea, never a good idea before it fires and i would recommend letting it run at least a min or so first, for the love of power strokes lol
Our Rock band drove the Alcan in 1983. Kluane lake was beautiful. Miles of gravel and acres of forest fire remnants. It was the first time my Brother and I returned. We were both born in Anchorage. He in 1961, me in 1962.
What a journey! Bringing back so many memories of my '06 bike trip. I made it to Tok from Kentucky in 8 days, was so elated to be in AK! Treated myself to a motel room for the first time on the trip. Hot meal and a few drinks at the bar. Now I know what it looks like in winter, thanks for that. Roll on!
There is no such thing as sleeping in too much when you're driving that many hours per day! Kluane Lake is so beautiful. Woo hoo!!!!! Back to Alaska! 👍😎🦅☕🇨🇦
Heading into Alaska my truck broke down just out side of White Horse. I Stayed the night in the truck woke up at 2Am with the best view of the north lights I have ever seen!
Hey Timmy! We got blizzards snow here where i live and watching you drive the alaska highway in the winter gave me the courage to venture out to my friends house in the next town over to get some weed cause im out of weed thanks for the motivation to brave the blizzard roads LOL :)
Woo hooo, what an epic road trip......Now is all we have, so make it an adventure to remember. My heart goes out to you Tim 💔 Lost my Dad last year.....the Circle of Life keeps on rolling. 🌎🌞
I don't want to say that Sammy is cursed buuuttt....... Those frost heaves at the end are world famous glad you made it through Canuckistan with no major issues.
I worked in Whitehorse back in late 70s when pipeline was a big deal. Yeah, the wonderfully Wilderness is a perfect isolator. Truck is running great!! Roll on !!
It’s funny to me that you use the same anti gel diesel additive that I do, but you should be adding it before you fuel so that the process of fueling mixes it thoroughly. May be less of a problem for smaller tanks, but that’s the way we do it with over 200 gallon capacity. Anyways, thanks for sharing your travels and adventures. I’m enjoying them immensely. 👍
I might try that run if they move on to the next scam before next summer. I drove up in 2009 was a nightmare at the borders. Can't imagine tryingvto drive through with Convid.
Hey Timmy, it is a real treat to drive through Canada, it is one of the most beautiful drives there are. I will tell you, the services were very few and far between. I remember carrying 5 gallon jugs of gas on top of my car because, the services were just not there. I have not been to Tok in many years and the last time there, not so many lights, lol. I need to take a trip up that way again. Thanks for videoing this trip. Looking forward to your snowmachine rides.
Hey Timmy. You should consider getting Fluid Film undercoating spray put on your truck to protect against corrosion from the salt. It’s a oil wool wax based film that protects your undercarriage against the salt corrosion. I have a video of it being put on my truck on my TH-cam channel. I’ve been using it for years.
Excellent. I've a '96 F250 auto 7tree. I haven't looked but, do you have a vid on all the mods you've done to yours. Every fill up you use the antigell additive. Plus how many miles on the old girl. Love my truck, my epbv started leaking and I just completed a DYI delete. Having a epbv is to warm up the oil faster. It's definitely louder not having that butterfly valve in it now. I also noticed that the turbo spools up faster for better acceleration.. Lastly, listing the towns or destinations on what hwy/trail is of interest, cuz I use Google Earth to follow your travels. I have several individuals that I follow and check out the topography... future planning towing my '65 Scout to off road adventures.. like your Sammy...
Watching this, one can really appreciate the magic of modern air travel when it takes just a little more than 2 1/2 hours to fly from Seattle to Anchorage sipping coffee. Let that sink in for a bit.
Good old Beaver Creek! Lol Travelled same road winter 2011 nothing but valley after valley winter wonderland had no idea how remote some of these places were a couple of cabins in between Hanes and Beaver Creek just amazing. We did a job for the Canadian Customs building . We put a new above ground tank in for heating oil to heat building if ya noticed pulling up? I remember eating at Buckshot Betty's in Beaver Creek she's quite the lady ..lol
. I'm no mechanic but I usually leave switch tanks at a quarter then run the other one to a half then start looking for fuel I think the mechanic said it's bad on the fuel pumps to not be cooled by the fuel just an FYI great Journey
Great videos, look forward to each new episode. Keep living the life. At one point in my life, I had the opportunity to live three years on the road. Keep on trucking my man.
This journey has been epic! One of the best i have watched on youtube in a long time, it will he hard to top this one hehe. Thank you for all the video and ideas i enjoy this very much and it makes me get out in the mountains near us and explore. Stay healthy!
Your trip has been very fun and exciting to ride along with you.we did the alaska highway trip back in july 2018.. it was fantastic. We left michigan then to montana then to alaska and back ...11000 miles and $3300.00 diesel fuel.cant wait to do it again..love your videos they are fantastic🥰🥰🥰🥰
3.99 in maine now tim ur ever near moose head man you got to come check it out I have all kinds of camping room man & easy in & out but yeah man hit me up if ur ever in my hood. Man would love to meet yeah but who knows next year I mite see u on the road lol. But yeah any time got a spot down by the pond 4 yeah man or you can pick a spot lol I have over a mile worth of roads on the property. Glade to see ur geting closer to home & bet u cant waite to hit the door yard lol take care my friend & god bless
nice Timmy!...I'm making my first ever drive down to the lower 48 in May....planning the same route you took. I'm flying my Tacoma out of the bush (which i had barged straight to Bethel in 2018), hope to return to this beautiful state some day via the hwy....I love the open road. I'll be in Anchorage/Kenai peninsula the first week of May...be great to grab a beer if you're around. Peace out Timmy
👍🏻🤠🇬🇧Epic awesomeness of an adventure Timmy loved it you have shown me some amazing things my friend THANKYOU 🤩🤩🤩🇺🇸🇺🇸am enjoying this Alaska Highway run appreciate your efforts to keep us entertained my friend 🇬🇧🤠👍🏻💯💯🚣🏼♀️🚣🏼♀️🙏Dave [RC Overland Dave] in Cornwall 🇬🇧
That diesel price isn't that bad. Works out to $4.62 USD per gallon. Is $4.00 in Tucson. $4.90 in Wikieup between Phoenix and Kingman and $5.20 in downtown San Francisco.
Love your videos and a Big thanks for a video everyday! Gonna miss it. Anyway, if you were to but that diesel in my home country Sweden it would have been 286 Canadian Dollars… so in my opinion the canadian price is pretty cheep! 🤠
Be positive that your truck WILL START! I think you are kinda hexing yourself every time you say let's hope it starts.. which is every morning.... I don't wanna be thinking that when I go on my trip to Utah..! Lol..
@@TruckHouseLife obviously you have made it back which is awesome.. coz your videos obviously were not uploaded on the Alaska highway.. can't wait to see you get home..
Timmy! @ 2:27 ish you mention your speedometer being faster. I cant remember what year truck you have, but i might know why. Bigger tires ( then stock) will mess with the speedo. There is a fix, and all you have to is reprogram your PSOM ( search psom programming on TH-cam. ) there are a few videos...i cant find the one im thinking of or i would have linked it for you. NOTE: you can only reprogram it 5 times. Hopefully yours has one or two left to do this with. If i find the video i mentioned ill be back. Best of luck from a fellow 7.3 owner.
Found it. th-cam.com/video/arN0LqKZGdo/w-d-xo.html . My advice: do all the research you can...making sure your ring gear numbers match whats in the video. I was incorrect ( sort of) you only have 6 resets. EVER. Good luck.

Sans trailer brakes
Especially on mud tires of all things hahaha

I agree. You gotta do that if you are going to live life on the road like that.
“Wooh, it’s cold out there!” Might be the t-shirt you’re wearing. Alaskans are hearty. 💪
I've come to love this channel. Timmy, you're living my absolute dream life, so keep it up, brother! I really appreciate everything you do.
From one Tim to another this is turning into my fav channel.
You have the same tinacity and positive outlook that Foresty Forest has. No wonder you are blowing up on TH-cam! Congrats on all your successes. It’s been exciting to watch.
Thanks:)
Sorry about your step Dad Timmy! I just lost my Mom on January 9th :'( I feel your pain bro
Sorry to hear that man.

i personally used to turn it on 2 times letting it warm the plugs up and pump fluids a little then start it up
Technically it wouldn't start without oil pressure, but yeah... It hurts seeing it go straight into high idle like that.
@@Thatsoverrated i cant argue lol im in socal not even in the snow and still did it lol 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ guess im preparing haha
Nothing like coming back home. As much as I love traveling and seeing some amazing places, there’s just nothing like Ak!
fact!
Our Rock band drove the Alcan in 1983. Kluane lake was beautiful. Miles of gravel and acres of forest fire remnants. It was the first time my Brother and I returned. We were both born in Anchorage. He in 1961, me in 1962.
That feeling of being home is the best feeling
I like your attitude Mr. Timmy. A broken mirror on the lemon-rai and you're just like, well, that sucks - ok movin' on!
going over that bridge looked so cool...uphill into the clouds! You make great videos!
Thanks man!
What a journey! Bringing back so many memories of my '06 bike trip. I made it to Tok from Kentucky in 8 days, was so elated to be in AK! Treated myself to a motel room for the first time on the trip.

Congrats. Quite a feat.
Definitely want to get some mudflaps installed on the rig. It'll save your paint, and whatever you're towing.
There is no such thing as sleeping in too much when you're driving that many hours per day! Kluane Lake is so beautiful. Woo hoo!!!!! Back to Alaska! 👍😎🦅☕🇨🇦
Heading into Alaska my truck broke down just out side of White Horse. I Stayed the night in the truck woke up at 2Am with the best view of the north lights I have ever seen!
Your a beast, I was just complaining a little to myself because the high today was 53. Lol stay warm and thanks for sharing your adventures.
that's a really cool set up you got there
Ya almost there!! Inches away!! Can't stand the wait, you're teasing us Timmy. I'll woohoo right along with you when you reach that pivotal point! 🤩
Hey Timmy! We got blizzards snow here where i live and watching you drive the alaska highway in the winter gave me the courage to venture out to my friends house in the next town over to get some weed cause im out of weed thanks for the motivation to brave the blizzard roads LOL :)
Thanks for taking me on your road trip 👍🥃🇨🇦
I just filled up my Forester. 52l of 98 Octan gas. 1,929€/liter (2,79can$/liter)

Woo hooo, what an epic road trip......Now is all we have, so make it an adventure to remember. My heart goes out to you Tim 💔 Lost my Dad last year.....the Circle of Life keeps on rolling. 🌎🌞
Good Morning from NC.

I like ending on the moment of truth, leaves a cliffhanger effect, even tho we know it Starts
Great video. Timmy, as much as you like your coffee you need you a Yeti. Warm coffee for hours.
I don't want to say that Sammy is cursed buuuttt.......
Those frost heaves at the end are world famous glad you made it through Canuckistan with no major issues.
