Here is my 2019 trip to Alaska....... complete with plenty of trouble on the trans Canadian Highway. Below is the link to my other road trip video. • Canada Road trip
It is awesome that you praise the Lord even in the face of adversity. That is as it should be. Windshields and mirrors are replaceable but Dave W and Daisy are not. Praise God that you two are okay.
@@Bushradical Summer is going just fine. Have not got out for any major backwoods trips yet this summer as it has just not worked out but all in all it is a great summer. It looks like I will be a co-instructor at a "survival" course free to the public at a church in the Wasilla area in July. Nothing is nailed down yet on details. There is another totally separate "bushcraft" gathering that will also be in the Wasilla area in latter July that I hope to attend though not as an instructor. I may or may not be sharing details on both gatherings in upcoming videos depending on what I learn as details become available. Once again I'll throw out there the offer for you folks to stop by our place and say howdy if you ever are down our way this summer. You folks are always welcome. Connie or I don't foresee any trips up North this summer, at least so far. Hope you two have a great summer.
Thanks Lonnie, I appreciate the offer to come. I don't know when that way happen. Neither one of us ever get down that way.....but if we do we will definitely take you up on the offer.
Praise God you are not hurt worse. Eating and feeding Daisy I'm sure. Called your Family... Everyone eating deer for dinner... I knew something serious happened to you. Maybe other things too...
Proud of my fellow Canadians 🇨🇦🇨🇦 for treating Dave so well and representing us. It's not chance Dave, we really like to look after people and make people feel comfortable. 😎🤗🙏🏼❤❤❤ 🤞🏻🤞🏻
hey I was in alaska near eagle river and saw a 74 or so torino with about 8 people in it who all got killed when they hit a moose. A bloody mess. But for the grace of God.....
OMG thank god for laminated windscreens ! Glad you and Daisy are ok. What a great outfit the windscreen/ garage guys are who sorted you out, big respect to them.
More people need your attitude. I can use to work on mine. Thank the Canadians again for coming through when it was needed. Dang good neighbors to have.
That is amazing how you were able to get that fixed so well. God was with you and Daisy on this one, as He has been with me many times on the road. Canadians are such nice people, I cannot count the number of stories I've heard firsthand about their acts of kindness.
Dwayne!! What an Ace of a dude! I loved that you gave him a little spot to talk about his business. He sounds awesome! I'm glad you got it all figured out, man! Glad Canada was there for you.
If you noticed these people dont use God as an exclamation point , and im utterly convinced they dont like reading it either . As it makes me cringe. I'm sure they also. The lord commands us in the commandments ,third, not to do it please stop.
Wow! This past Saturday evening, I was heading north on an interstate in Michigan, and seemingly out if no where, a young buck ran right in front of my little economy car, he was so close i could not see all his hooves! I tapped my brakes and he barely cleared the front of my car! I prayed before I left on my little trip, so that was a miracle! I am so sorry you suffered through all of that! You were blessed for sure. Be safe, and if you can, read the 'soldiers prayer' daily, it really works! (Psalm 91🤗) God bless and protect you and Daisy!
Dave, You are an inspiration . Getting over the problems in life is what makes us richer. Gratitude follows.Knowledge through experience is our school.
Right on on your leg presses!! As a former OTR driver, you would have fit right into my world. Run that road a lot. Always something. subscribed to you and Brooke. Always enjoy your videos. Greetings from the Arrowhead of MN.
Last November on my way home to Idaho I had a truck problem in northern Alberta. A farmer took me in for the night & helped me fix it next day then his wife hooked me up with food for the last 1000 mile leg home. Canadian country people made my day.
Well done Dave, that was very bad luck to have that collision with the deer but I was very impressed how you dealt with that adversity and overcame all those problems. Amazing how you were able to get your car back in shape and roadworthy again after such major damage! Glad you and Daisy both kept safe, thanks for posting and best wishes.
Enjoyed the video Dave. Happy your ok after the deer mishap! Canadians for the most part are very hospitable and genuine.. especially the country folks! I may be a little bias since I'm one of those people. Looking forward to your videos from Alaska as usual. Cheers 🇨🇦
God is SO watching over you. We've all (who travel) been in that place: some kind of break down, stuck for hours or days waiting for repairs. The fact that deer hit your windshield so hard and you and Maisey are okay, that's a big Thank You God. Thanks for sharing it.
That was an amazing video shows you how good people are. And our good lord is always looking out for us no matter where we are.Thank God and thank you for this video.
@bearpapie69 Yes, it's amazing when people thank god for getting them out of a disaster but never blame god for getting them into the disaster in the first place.
sjbock we believe God is a God of love. We believe He allows things to happen to us. Romans 8:28 comes to mind. Don’t expect you to change your mind. Just telling you why we feel the way we do and give thanks to God for things like this.
That deer might have saved your life before that tire blew. A little duct tape and you're good to go. My last drive to Alaska was way back in 89 from eastern PA. The most exciting things about my trip were the tornado on I-80 in NE near the WY border (hid under an overpass as it went right over us. 8"s of hail covering the road too.) and my manual trans going in the mountains 150 miles from Dawson Creek. Limped there stuck in 3rd gear. Darned if there wasn't a Ford dealership there with a trans for the stang for only $500 after the exchange rate. A 4spd manual 79 Mustang with over 250k miles on it. The best way to get the old urethane/butyl tape off is by heating the razorblade. You broke in the new windshield quickly with big bloody bug splatter. Road trips are great...
@@Bushradical Something I'll never forget. There were maybe 10 people crawled up under the overpass on the westbound side. The people whos vehicles couldn't get under it had most of their windows busted out. It was like driving on marbles after it passed. All you saw was white like it had snowed. I had no film with me at the time. I was lucky enough to see the tornado heading right at me as I approached the overpass. Then the hail fell and it got very dark and loud. How you guys were able to fix your car's roof was great...
Very eventful trip indeed! Thank God that you and Daisy made it in good health. Reminds me back to a time in 1977 when my friend and I were driving north in BC, and a Bull Moose ran into the front of his AMC Pacer. Totally destroyed the car! Was a long way back to Tacoma that weekend. I still have minor remnant scars on my face from that one. Ironically, Aaron was killed by a bull moose in Maine about 8 years ago... charged him and pinned him to a tree. You are blessed!!!
Sorry to hear about your friend. I grew up driving AMCs too. Matadors, Ambassadors, and yes Pacers. I think they all had the same engine...a 258 straight six if I recall correctly
@@Bushradical 199, 232, or 258 6 poppers, or cool stuff like 390 v8 powered amx s, javelins, or scramblers. Yes, im a closet amc fan. Believe it or not, a famous racer used a 199 amc 6 banger in an Indy racer. Guess they had extra main bearings.
As a driving instructor I have some helpful information. Last time I went to Alaska I saw over 50% of the vehicles with some type of crack in the windshield. Anytime you have a crack in your windshield it compromises the structural integrity of the windshield. I am not sure if this gentleman had any cracks in his windshield but if you do have cracks in your windshield it can make the damage far greater. You should try to always get a new windshield or fix any rock chips that could turn into a crack. Also, if you have a crack in your windshield and a rock gets flipped and hits the crack it could actually go through the crack into the cabin.
..Watched this again, after watching Girl in the Woods recent 2 part...cannot get enough of your beautiful Yukon, seeing these friendships, your great canera work. Loved shot from outside tent at night..where you see shadows on that tent, hear the happy chatter! Just all so special!!...thanks for sharing.
Unbelievable! I am so glad you and Maisie are safe. I just told Brooke that she does magic with her three course dinners, etc, emerging from a vintage rucksack - I think I will call your roof fix Black Magic! God bless you and grant you a safe trip to follow.
@TheRaellz "Please leave the religious stuff at your local church and stop spreading it to everything you see." Why is it OK for you to spread YOUR religious faith "to everything you see"? Perhaps you could type out a list of things Dave can't say or do on his own channel so he doesn't offend you or hurt your feelings? Or, perhaps you should tell whoever's forcing you do watch DAVE'S channel to get a life. Jack - Canada
My brother had a 96 mazda escort wagon w/5spd, best escort Ford never made :). My Uncle in Baldwin drove his 1997 Mazda Escort Wagon 5spd to over 400k. I can watch your cabin builds, wildlife trips etc... but I still come back to this video. I think I am always impressed by how you face significant adversity and still keep a totally level head with added comedy no less. I blame Daisy for making you think so clearly. Side mirror on my Suburban taken out this past Saturday by a deer south of Manchester. I was on my way to the cabin in the UP where I can't seem to find a single deer track. Oh the irony.
It is awesome that you praise the Lord even in the face of adversity. 233,909 views • Jun 6, 2019 • Thanks Brooke and Dave! +Thanks for taking us along! Be well! Praise God that you two are okay. Glad Canada was there for you.
Hi Dave, sorry the trip didn't go smoothly bud, but I can relate though. When I lived in Wyoming, I had to go from Douglas, WY. to Sheridan, WY. and had an antelope come out of nowhere at around 11 pm at night and it jumped into my windshield in about the same place that deer hit your windshield, although the antelope flew up and over the car after it hit the windshield, so no other windows got broken. This happened in January and it was below zero out. Of course, nothing was open at that time (no cell phones back then either), so I put on my winter clothes for work and drove the car with the shattered windshield the rest of the way at about 30 mph, but I got there several hours later. Anyway, glad you didn't get hurt bud, Rock On!
Hello from Oklahoma! Love your videos! Glad to see you are ok! Those deer are a pain sometimes. Yes, Thank God for all the help! Safe travels my friend!
Dang dude, what the heck? Plowed through that mess, it’s amazing how great people can make a situation less painful! Good folks there, take care brother👍🏼🍺👊🏼
So glad to see you ,Maisie and the OL' Escort all made it to your cabin in one piece. I think SomeOne was testing your faith and looking out for you at the same time. I would like to point out that you also are no slacker when it comes to MacGuyvering.
Why would he thank the lord for wrecking his car? If the Lord had any hand in protecting him, why not stop the deer from crossing the road just then? Of course then the Lord would have not gotten any thanks for saving anyone. You know, your Lord is a jerk. He killed a deer and wrecked this guy's car just to get you to thank him.
@@erictaylor5462 The thing about people like you is you're way too simple minded, and the thought of reading the book, and asking Christians to help you understand it, never enters your hollow skulls. So you mock God which is not a good idea, you also mock Christians, and you can't grasp the fact that what you believe is far more "supernatural" in that your explanation is like paying $200 to see a magic act, only the tricks and magic don't even have a magician! Now THAT is blind faith I wish more Christians possessed! What Christians believe is backed by the book which is backed by observable scientific evidence in geography, history, and prophecy. All these things are observable! Even the parts people like you can't understand, such as the Exodus. People have been trying to discredit the Bible for thousands of years and have failed miserably! That's because it's all true! Now compare that to what YOU believe - We came from wet rocks. A magical highly complex single cell just magically popped itself into existence, again, without a magician! Then there's the who NOTHING exploded for no reason in spite of causality and "somehow" became TIME - SPACE - MATTER - and LIFE. All that and no magician! And YOU mock Christians??!! LOL! Perhaps you're not as uninformed as you appear to be, so I'll ask you two simple questions, let's see how you do. 1) How do we get a single cell without first having fully formed, fully functioning, pre programmed DNA? 2) How do we get DNA without first having a fully formed, fully functioning, pre programmed single cell? Now I know a knowledgeable person like yourself has got to know how all that worked, because otherwise, you're going on pure faith completely lacking in any scientifically observable evidence, you simply wanted to believe it! The reason bad shit happens is because we, people like you, reject God, and instead you go with blind faith. So God's doing what every responsible parents do, when the teenagers become belligerent, mouthy and completely disrespectful, the parents kick their sorry asses out the door when they learn how their lives turn to hammered shit without mommy and daddy supporting, feeding, clothing, handing over cash and credit cards, buy and pay for cell airtime, computers and on and on. God has every right to have completely left us 100% alone to show us what happens when man is in charge! We've screwed up everything we touch, and are on the verge of total nuclear inhalation! We murder, we steal, commit adultery, engage in bum bandito activity, we fight and cheat each other, we murder babies in and now out of the womb, and on and on and on... But He hasn't abandoned Him, we've abandoned Him! And He still intervenes now and then just to slow us down enough to where their'll still be some of us left alive when He returns to judge the mockers, like you, and to get the planet back to it's original state of paradise!! So, I won't hold my breath as far as those two simple questions go, I know for a fact you can't answer them, and you obviously don't even understand them! You better get right with the Lord, because none of us are guaranteed a single second and could drop dead any second! Once you take your last breath over here, and your first over there, it's too late, it's signed, sealed, and delivered!! Roll those dice Champ! Jack - Canada
Kinda reminds me of my drive to Alaska 3yrs ago when I rolled my pickup and Uhaul trailer near Lloydminster, and I had the same experience with the Canadian hospitality.
@@Bushradical we were definitely blessed. We weren't able to pound the dents out and continue on, but we were able to rent a Grand Caravan in Edmonton and sort out as much of the stuff as possible into and on the roof and finish the trip out there.
I came across your travel adventure vlog through my feed. I have driven the MI to Skagway AK via the trans-Canadian Highway but in a fluorescent orange painted transit bus. What a 9 day trip! You’re so right about the people in Saskatoon. I ran out of diesel 600 feet from a station. A guy and his buddy paid for the tow, hotel, engine service and a full tank of fuel plus dinner and breakfast for my family of five. I call them road angels. This guy’s friend even spent the night in the bus to guard our household goods! Thanks for posting this video.
I flipped my 4Runner, north of Watson Lake, near Ross River in 1998. Wife, Daughter and dog were in the car, all fortunately OK, despite being whipped around. Canadian passers by were gracious and helpful. Our dog was particularly traumatized. Did not even know I had a minor injury. But... it could have been worse. A mile in either direction the road had high steep shoulders and we would not have made it. We were able to flip the truck over and limp back to town. Truck was not repairable, or not worth repairing, as parts were far away. Perhaps the hardest part was getting out of Watson lake as bus and charter air service had been discontinued. And back into the USA with a dog whose papers were lost. But... it could have been worse and grateful to get out relatively unscathed - family and pup especially. Good people in Watson Lake too. Oh... my wife drove an Escort wagon for years! Glad this worked out, that you were OK, and could continue your journey. Maisie too! Canadians always impress with their decency.
Hello Dave, miracles still happen. The incident, as you know, could have been a total disaster. Hopefully all the bad luck is over. Thanks to DeWayne for his efforts. Keep the faith my friend. It's hard to imagine that there are forest fires in Alaska so early in the season. The very best to you and Daisy, as well as Brooke and family back home. 🤗
Hey Dave, I'm from Michigan, born in Carson City and raised in Pompeii! Daisy is quite vocal, I love it! I like your videos. I'm subscribed to Brooke's channel also. Alaska sure is beautiful country. Merry Christmas!
I was just watching ALONE season 6 , and thinking about you and Brooks . Then I went You-Tube and seen this, hope your hand will be OK. It was a good day on Vancouver Island Stay safe .
Wow Dave what a terrible mishap on your road trip, I'm very glad that you and Miss Daisy are safe, its awesome that you were able to find some good people to help you to carry on your way, may the rest of your Alaska visit be filled with nothing but good times, stay safe Dave, God bless.
Brother David, I found your channel through watching Brooke's channel. You are both so down to earth, full of common sense and a breath of fresh air, giving God the Glory in your life. I am blessed watching your videos. Funny I have watched several of your videos today and you mention the same abandoned rest stop. God is good.
Wow! I was surprised you guys were able to fix that windshield as well as you did. You sounded a bit shook up after the Deer incident. Imagine that. Also I like how you walk through life with Gratitude and finding the Good side of things. It took me a long time to learn that. Best Wishes from Montana M.H
It is awesome that you praise the Lord even in the face of adversity. That is as it should be. Windshields and mirrors are replaceable but Dave W and Daisy are not. Praise God that you two are okay.
Thanks Lonnie. How's your summer doing so far?
@@Bushradical Summer is going just fine. Have not got out for any major backwoods trips yet this summer as it has just not worked out but all in all it is a great summer. It looks like I will be a co-instructor at a "survival" course free to the public at a church in the Wasilla area in July. Nothing is nailed down yet on details. There is another totally separate "bushcraft" gathering that will also be in the Wasilla area in latter July that I hope to attend though not as an instructor. I may or may not be sharing details on both gatherings in upcoming videos depending on what I learn as details become available. Once again I'll throw out there the offer for you folks to stop by our place and say howdy if you ever are down our way this summer. You folks are always welcome. Connie or I don't foresee any trips up North this summer, at least so far. Hope you two have a great summer.
Thanks Lonnie, I appreciate the offer to come. I don't know when that way happen. Neither one of us ever get down that way.....but if we do we will definitely take you up on the offer.
I agree! What a blessing to watch someone who gives glory to the Lord! Keep up the good work!
Praise God you are not hurt worse. Eating and feeding Daisy I'm sure. Called your Family... Everyone eating deer for dinner...
I knew something serious happened to you. Maybe other things too...

As a 14 year mechanic, thats my type of mech right there! No excuses, no bs extra charges for doing odd work, just got it done!
Amen! Thats what the world need ....more people who just make stuff work!
@@Bushradical Got that right. Yanks or Canucks, we have that kind of "git er dun" folks on both sides of the border.
We love that you talk about "blessings " & thanking the Lord!
Soli Deo Gloria!
Thanks
Sometimes in life you just have to sit back, look around you and think to yourself "glad that wasn't a Moose".
Glad you two made it through safely 👍
hey I was in alaska near eagle river and saw a 74 or so torino with about 8 people in it who all got killed when they hit a moose. A bloody mess. But for the grace of God.....
Mad Props to Dwayne, good mechanic and a good guy!
He's the best!
OMG thank god for laminated windscreens ! Glad you and Daisy are ok. What a great outfit the windscreen/ garage guys are who sorted you out, big respect to them.
Canadians are generally kind-hearted. So blessed to live here. Glad you were safe and able to get on the road again.
Yes they are!
More people need your attitude. I can use to work on mine.
Thank the Canadians again for coming through when it was needed.
Dang good neighbors to have.
yup , they are good folks up there
Deer whistle on car

from one mechanic to the next your doin us proud dwayne! honest work brings an honest living and that's all you can ask for.
I totally agree!
I think that dog thinks that Dave is talking to her all of the time, and by God she is trying to answer him lol!😂💞
LOL!!!
Dwayne!! What an Ace of a dude! I loved that you gave him a little spot to talk about his business. He sounds awesome!
I'm glad you got it all figured out, man! Glad Canada was there for you.
Thanks Samantha. Dwayne was a great guy! I'll be visiting him on the return trip
Yes what she said. Safe travels to you and daisy..
You are blessed to have Daisy to keep you company. Great people in Canada!!
Yeah Canada Rocks for sure, and Daisy is a great travel buddy
I love the positivity you emit, even through the rough times. Keep up the good work!
Thanks
Omg I am so glad that u made it out alive. That deer is massive. All the best to you and fast healing of your hand!
Hey Lilly. Thanks for the king thoughts about my hand, its getting better

Here I am 4 years later watching your video again. So glad you met so many helpful Canadians nice place to sleep and new windshield. 👍👍
i stumbled on this video. I enjoyed it immensely! Great video skills. Great narration without endless talk. Thanks!
Thanks HC!
Same here and my thoughts exactly, made the trip myself four times, all during the winter though. Need to make a summer trip.
I figured your car was toast. Hard to believe you were able to repair. That sunset alone was worth continuing the trip. Way to persevere my friend.

Amazing. So thankful for your life and that of Daisy. God is great.
Thatis what happens when you let the dog drive!
OH! I should have blamed her!! I forgot I mentioned she drove,..... LOL it would have been a good joke and I totally missed it. .......
Funny lol
Let's be honest, the dog was drinking and driving!! DUN DUN DUNNNN!!!!

Still watching but had to comment before I forget. The thing that surprises me the most about the damage, is the bald spot on tire!! Wow!!
Hey K! The Roads in Canada are pretty rough. Not in bad shape, but they are a course chip -seal, not a smooth blacktop
Praise the Lord!!! So glad you and Daisy are safe and finally home again. Be well and I look forward to your Alaska adventures this summer :)
Thanks Deb.
The deer Chose to make a run for it. I wouldn't blame God for the deers nervousness
Unbelievable! I am so glad you and Maisie are safe. I just told Brooke that she does magic with her three course dinners, etc, emerging from a vintage rucksack - I think I will call your roof fix Black Magic! God bless you and grant you a safe trip to follow.

Or, perhaps you should tell whoever's forcing you do watch DAVE'S channel to get a life.

My brother had a 96 mazda escort wagon w/5spd, best escort Ford never made :). My Uncle in Baldwin drove his 1997 Mazda Escort Wagon 5spd to over 400k. I can watch your cabin builds, wildlife trips etc... but I still come back to this video. I think I am always impressed by how you face significant adversity and still keep a totally level head with added comedy no less. I blame Daisy for making you think so clearly. Side mirror on my Suburban taken out this past Saturday by a deer south of Manchester. I was on my way to the cabin in the UP where I can't seem to find a single deer track. Oh the irony.
WOWZER'S ALL THE WAY AROUND!!! deer in the windshield, amazing help with the repairs an beautiful sunset! What a WEEK!
It was an amazing trip
Prairie people are the best. Glad you're okay. Deer hits are a common thing in SK, it's even covered on the province's car insurance!
It is awesome that you praise the Lord even in the face of adversity. 233,909 views • Jun 6, 2019 • Thanks Brooke and Dave! +Thanks for taking us along! Be well! Praise God that you two are okay. Glad Canada was there for you.
Those firemen and police officer were definitely Canadian lol
Eh?
Ya thats literally all windshield eh?
lol 😂
I Think The Canadian People Are Really Lovely 🙄Beautiful Hearts , I'd Love To Live There..
Lol ... Yup, they were definitely not American...
Thank God you and sweet Daisy are not injured bad. It's wonderful he protected you both. Praise God!!!
That sheep was terrific!!! Smoke in the air gives such gorgeous sunsets!!!
Thanks.
Glad you and Your pup are ok. Someone is watching out for you both .
Yes the deer was sinful and evil so God decided to take it out of circulation.
Hi Dave, sorry the trip didn't go smoothly bud, but I can relate though. When I lived in Wyoming, I had to go from Douglas, WY. to Sheridan, WY. and had an antelope come out of nowhere at around 11 pm at night and it jumped into my windshield in about the same place that deer hit your windshield, although the antelope flew up and over the car after it hit the windshield, so no other windows got broken. This happened in January and it was below zero out. Of course, nothing was open at that time (no cell phones back then either), so I put on my winter clothes for work and drove the car with the shattered windshield the rest of the way at about 30 mph, but I got there several hours later. Anyway, glad you didn't get hurt bud, Rock On!
WOW, that sounds like pickle of drive!
Hello from Oklahoma! Love your videos! Glad to see you are ok! Those deer are a pain sometimes. Yes, Thank God for all the help! Safe travels my friend!
Thanks
Wow Dave man,glad you two are ok. I've never seen someone with such a good attitude after a nightmare like that.smh
Thanks
Yep, "blessed" is the correct word! I'm glad you didn't get seriously hurt.
Thanks
Dang dude, what the heck? Plowed through that mess, it’s amazing how great people can make a situation less painful! Good folks there, take care brother👍🏼🍺👊🏼
Thanks Steve
What an amazingly nice guy! I hope that he is blessed with a ton of business! Honest mechanics are unicorns these days. But, one can tell he is!
So glad to see you ,Maisie and the OL' Escort all made it to your cabin in one piece. I think SomeOne was testing your faith and looking out for you at the same time. I would like to point out that you also are no slacker when it comes to MacGuyvering.
LOL< thanks
you can tell a lot about a guy when things are going bad. Thanks for the video.
Wow, well, memories are memories I guess. You won't be forgetting this one in a hurry. Thanks for taking us along. Chris.
Thanks Chris
Wowzers ! Thanking the Good Lord !
And How About that Dwayne guy! Awesome want to go to Canada 🇨🇦
I want to meet good people
It all turned out pretty good didn't it. I made a new friend and got a shower at the motel.
What do any gods have to do with nature?
@6 6
Wow! Do you french kiss your uncle 'Happy" with that filthy mouth? LOL!
Why would he thank the lord for wrecking his car?
If the Lord had any hand in protecting him, why not stop the deer from crossing the road just then?
Of course then the Lord would have not gotten any thanks for saving anyone. You know, your Lord is a jerk. He killed a deer and wrecked this guy's car just to get you to thank him.

The thing about people like you is you're way too simple minded, and the thought of reading the book, and asking Christians to help you understand it, never enters your hollow skulls.
So you mock God which is not a good idea, you also mock Christians, and you can't grasp the fact that what you believe is far more "supernatural" in that your explanation is like paying $200 to see a magic act, only the tricks and magic don't even have a magician!
Now THAT is blind faith I wish more Christians possessed!
What Christians believe is backed by the book which is backed by observable scientific evidence in geography, history, and prophecy.
All these things are observable! Even the parts people like you can't understand, such as the Exodus.
People have been trying to discredit the Bible for thousands of years and have failed miserably! That's because it's all true!
Now compare that to what YOU believe -
We came from wet rocks. A magical highly complex single cell just magically popped itself into existence, again, without a magician!
Then there's the who NOTHING exploded for no reason in spite of causality and "somehow" became TIME - SPACE - MATTER - and LIFE.
All that and no magician! And YOU mock Christians??!! LOL!
Perhaps you're not as uninformed as you appear to be, so I'll ask you two simple questions, let's see how you do.
1) How do we get a single cell without first having fully formed, fully functioning, pre programmed DNA?
2) How do we get DNA without first having a fully formed, fully functioning, pre programmed single cell?
Now I know a knowledgeable person like yourself has got to know how all that worked, because otherwise, you're going on pure faith completely lacking in any scientifically observable evidence, you simply wanted to believe it!
The reason bad shit happens is because we, people like you, reject God, and instead you go with blind faith.
So God's doing what every responsible parents do, when the teenagers become belligerent, mouthy and completely disrespectful, the parents kick their sorry asses out the door when they learn how their lives turn to hammered shit without mommy and daddy supporting, feeding, clothing, handing over cash and credit cards, buy and pay for cell airtime, computers and on and on.
God has every right to have completely left us 100% alone to show us what happens when man is in charge!
We've screwed up everything we touch, and are on the verge of total nuclear inhalation!
We murder, we steal, commit adultery, engage in bum bandito activity, we fight and cheat each other, we murder babies in and now out of the womb, and on and on and on...
But He hasn't abandoned Him, we've abandoned Him! And He still intervenes now and then just to slow us down enough to where their'll still be some of us left alive when He returns to judge the mockers, like you, and to get the planet back to it's original state of paradise!!
So, I won't hold my breath as far as those two simple questions go, I know for a fact you can't answer them, and you obviously don't even understand them!
You better get right with the Lord, because none of us are guaranteed a single second and could drop dead any second!
Once you take your last breath over here, and your first over there, it's too late, it's signed, sealed, and delivered!!
Roll those dice Champ!

Epic journey, Dave. I knew you'd get through it. Outstanding.
Thanks
When I saw you push the car roof back in place, I think I felt almost as good as you did 😀
LOL, thanks
I cheered so loudly when you pushed the roof back up! WAY TO GO!!!!!!
Wow this is realy educational, your gardian angel was working overtime. Thankyou very much.
Kinda reminds me of my drive to Alaska 3yrs ago when I rolled my pickup and Uhaul trailer near Lloydminster, and I had the same experience with the Canadian hospitality.
Whoa that sounds bad!
@@therealgirlinthewoods neither I nor my grandson had a scratch when we crawled out a side window
Wow! Thats amazing with a rollover
@@Bushradical we were definitely blessed. We weren't able to pound the dents out and continue on, but we were able to rent a Grand Caravan in Edmonton and sort out as much of the stuff as possible into and on the roof and finish the trip out there.
Gorgeous mountain scenery!! Thanks for sharing Dave! Safe travels and God Bless!!!
thanks
Dave, was so heartwarming for you to drive clear to Alaska to help Mick out ❤️
I came across your travel adventure vlog through my feed.
I have driven the MI to Skagway AK via the trans-Canadian Highway but in a fluorescent orange painted transit bus. What a 9 day trip!
You’re so right about the people in Saskatoon. I ran out of diesel 600 feet from a station. A guy and his buddy paid for the tow, hotel, engine service and a full tank of fuel plus dinner and breakfast for my family of five. I call them road angels. This guy’s friend even spent the night in the bus to guard our household goods!
Thanks for posting this video.
Thanks for the story Andrew. There are some great folks in Canada for sure!
I was cheering when you pushed that roof back up! Keep your chin up. Still watching the fix
Thank you Dave. Glad you are ok.Be radical hey!
LOL, thanks!
That dog is ridiculously adorable!
she's the best
Boy you got lucky all things considered. Glad you and daisy are okay. That's the most important part.
thanks
You can just feel the love your dog has for you.
Me and Daisy are tight! She's the best dog Ive ever had
I flipped my 4Runner, north of Watson Lake, near Ross River in 1998. Wife, Daughter and dog were in the car, all fortunately OK, despite being whipped around. Canadian passers by were gracious and helpful. Our dog was particularly traumatized. Did not even know I had a minor injury. But... it could have been worse. A mile in either direction the road had high steep shoulders and we would not have made it. We were able to flip the truck over and limp back to town. Truck was not repairable, or not worth repairing, as parts were far away. Perhaps the hardest part was getting out of Watson lake as bus and charter air service had been discontinued. And back into the USA with a dog whose papers were lost. But... it could have been worse and grateful to get out relatively unscathed - family and pup especially. Good people in Watson Lake too. Oh... my wife drove an Escort wagon for years! Glad this worked out, that you were OK, and could continue your journey. Maisie too! Canadians always impress with their decency.
Thanks for the story. I'm glad you all came out OK , but I can see in my mind how tough of a pickle that would be in that country.
Welcome back to Alaska Dave! Good Lord watched over and blessed you!
Thanks
Hello Dave, miracles still happen. The incident, as you know, could have been a total disaster. Hopefully all the bad luck is over. Thanks to DeWayne for his efforts.
Keep the faith my friend. It's hard to imagine that there are forest fires in Alaska so early in the season. The very best to you and Daisy, as well as Brooke and family back home. 🤗
Thanks RR
Wow Dave. My goodness.
Stunned here...wow...just wow...
what a trip Eh!
Hey Dave, I'm from Michigan, born in Carson City and raised in Pompeii! Daisy is quite vocal, I love it! I like your videos. I'm subscribed to Brooke's channel also. Alaska sure is beautiful country. Merry Christmas!
It’s been interesting catching up on all the videos I’ve missed out over the time that you have been out here! Is a beautiful trip for scenery!
Amazing video! Appreciate your faith coming through in this experience!
I was just watching ALONE season 6 , and thinking about you and Brooks . Then I went
You-Tube and seen this, hope your hand will be OK. It was a good day on Vancouver Island
Stay safe .
How did it go? I haven't got to watch any of it yet
Gotta love your attitude, $h|£ happens and you move on. Glad you made it safely. Thanks for sharing
Thanks RD
Love you and your wife's videos. Thank for keeping people entertained.
Wow Dave what a terrible mishap on your road trip, I'm very glad that you and Miss Daisy are safe, its awesome that you were able to find some good people to help you to carry on your way, may the rest of your Alaska visit be filled with nothing but good times, stay safe Dave, God bless.
Thanks Gordon

I thought of Bob Ross the very second u mentioned him 😂
I miss BOB
Good job! I’ve been through there a few times, I will keep them in mind!!!
You guys are awesome!!! 😎👍
Thanks!!
Brother David, I found your channel through watching Brooke's channel. You are both so down to earth, full of common sense and a breath of fresh air, giving God the Glory in your life. I am blessed watching your videos. Funny I have watched several of your videos today and you mention the same abandoned rest stop. God is good.
Wow! I was surprised you guys were able to fix that windshield as well as you did.
You sounded a bit shook up after the Deer incident. Imagine that.
Also I like how you walk through life with Gratitude and finding the Good side of things.
It took me a long time to learn that.
Best Wishes from Montana M.H
WOW - Not your normal trip to Alaska given the vehicle you are driving. Great editorial with your video. Keep is coming.
Dave, great video on the trip. You kept me on edge of my seat after the deer bump. I am connected now
Right on. I hope you enjoy the channel!
New tires need to be on the Christmas list!
Thank goodness you and Daisy are fine! I lived for 8 years in Saskatchewan...absolutely my fav place to live 🥰
Great to see how you did not give up on that car. Great video
Have traveled the Alcan many times. Always a pleasure.
Lots of Michigan people in Talkeetna.
right on
Do you guys still have the bluegrass fest?
Glad your safe..
Can not believe you were able to get that windshield replaced. What a example of never say die.
Thanks
