- “Climbing down the mountain is still climbing the mountain.” When the team encounters intense Alaskan rains while breaking camp, they discover this to be true. Skills, trucks, and gear are tested to the max before Cyrus takes the wheel--and the lead--as the guys overland to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska! While Clay has ventured there in the past, for the boys, Prudhoe Bay marks the beginning of their own quest to start their Pan-American Journey. Rappelling, real-life wilderness first-aid, swift current river crossings, and an epic camp among wolves are all part of the journey in the penultimate episode of Alaska: The Last Frontier! #xoverland #alaska #overland

Hand down, this is so much better than Netflix.
All of you mean so much to us! Thank you for joining us for chapter 4!
Right back atcha, Clay.
Will there be any chance perhaps to win a hat/cap with your logo or something?
Would be great to have one 👀
Absolutely epic journey, although I kinda wish the series was more like your first expedition to Alaska. Watching old series recorded in a less professional way gave me the feeling like I was really there with you. It was more amateur (in a good way) and wild and this one is presented like it's a Hollywood production.
Don't get me wrong, both are great and awesome to watch. I just love the way 2013 expedition was made. Probably gonna rewatch it soon.
"How many time can you say" Awesome? A lot lot lot!!!
this was amazing. Always wanted to go to Alaska
Back at you all. Thanks
I suspect that I'm not alone in saying thank you from an old guy (72) who has neither the physical capability, nor the financial capability to do what you have been doing. As I watch each of your videos, I feel like I'm simply tagging along for the ride. While serving in the Navy in the 60's, I got to see a lot of this world, but now, nearly half a century later, I'm getting to see portions of God's creation that I never got to see. Thank you! Clay, I consider you and your bride my friends, and I am grateful to know you, and to be able to hitchhike on your many journeys. Blessings! Arlen Tofslie
Thanks for the kind words, Arlen! We are beyond thankful for you all as well.
I feel like Clay has had so many moments where he's said "...and that is a story for another time." Might be an idea to make a small video series that's called "a story from another time" or something where you tell those stories.
27 years ago my friend and I packed a Subaru and drove north from Spokane, WA to the Arctic Circle in the Yukon Territory. It is a journey we’ll never forget and it still comes up today in conversation. The Northern lights dancing over Yellowknife NWT, being stared down by Bison outside Whitehorse, and many others. Your many videos always bring those memories front and center, almost like being there all over again. Thank you!
The cookie exchange was epic!
The cookie scene was pretty cool. These 3 lads will one day become experts at their crafts. Nice video altogether 👍🏼
Being present in the moment comes with time, wisdom and age. Enjoy everyday as if it’s your last… it’s why I spend my time exploring the planet everyday!!
Nice you guys passed right by Alpine Creek Lodge. Just got back from there last week making a snowmobile video out Denali highway:)
Oh my garsh...The Brothers and the Cookies....We just keep replaying it. They are so adorable and we laugh so hard. We love you guys. Thanks for continuing to bring us such wonderful entertainment!
Epic repelling dad joke right off the hop. Noting that one for future use!
This reminded me of my first trip to Alaska. I retired the last day of July 1999. The following Monday my wife and I left Colorado for Alaska driving the Alaska Highway. We made it to Deadhorse, but the bus wasn’t running that day for us to go to Prudhoe Bay. Still it was an awesome trip! I now have seen Denali 5 times…all clear days top to bottom! Been to Homer twice. McCarthy, Valdez, Fairbanks, Wiseman (you apparently drove by), Kodiak (had a long snorkel! Just kidding!) Seward, Hope, Haines, Skagway, Chicken, etc, etc. Returned via the Casiar Highway through Hyder, Alaska. August, September and returned home in October. An awesome adventure!
Thanks for bringing back memories!
Talk about a beautiful example of how to raise a man. Bravo sir.
These character arcs are fantastic. Love seeing the mentorship in the group, too.
😂The great cookie fight! Lol
It was THE BEST!
Nice Adventure! just a note I can't let go unnoticed and will help many overlanders out there. TRUE Southern most location is not in Argentina, It's actually across the sea from Ushuaia and the location is called Puerto Williams, Chile.
You are a talented man Clay Croft! I could sit and watch your workings 24/7. Please keep them coming! Cheers from Australia.
Wow, the job you and the crew do to draw your views into the in the adventure is memorizing. What a way to bring really life training into the adventure and make it more easy to learn and retain. Repelling, teaching about tread lightly, advance first aid training, logistical planning, etc. Those 3 young men have grown in this series a long with the rest of the crew. Can’t wait to see what the future have to come for everyone one!!
Thank you very much! We work really hard on all of that and glad its coming across. Thanks for watching!
I see that matching of the wiper cycle. Little fun with the editing?
You know it!
This show keeps me speechless one episode at a time. Waiting on the final chapter… someday hopefully my family and I will get to do something similar.. kudos to the team..
Thank you!
Having a quarrel over cookies. Lol
So awesome that you are taking the time to "be in the moment." We all need to remember to do this more often!
Well their read for basic training, Ranger school, SF, 10th Mnt Div.....Drone shots are so amazing
Paradise hunter❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely awesome
... ' Sudden onset of bratwurst syrup dysentery ' ... I want this on a t-shirt! haha best line I have heard in many episodes
Doctor John has been a great addition to this team, such a cool guy.
Can't wait to see the next one , shout out to Dan , Pete ( EFRT ) and Cyrus , they made it that much cooler . And shout to x overland , for doing what you do , I really enjoyed this one . Thank you so much .
Fantastic!!! The cookie argument was the best.
Let's go ..
Such a sick upload.
Teach..
Yup oldtimers teaching theses youngsters..lol.great video
Thank you for trusting the boys to run things for a while. That's quality parenting/mentoring right there. Well done.
Thank you!
Really a testament to all the incredible talents of the team to not only make it through this adventure but also capture it in a unique and stunning way in such a tough, yet beautiful environment. Seeing Tanner on the other side of the river still shooting while the trucks pass him by and knowing he then has to catch up to them on foot with camera gear is pretty awesome. It's obvious to the trained eye what an immense amount of effort was put into these films in pre-pro, production and post. Thanks for sharing them with us.
I enjoyed the adventure. Glad to see that an umbrella is required gear for Clay??? and that Dr. John has discovered Stormy Kromer head gear.....Good stuff. Safe travels to all.
Everyone started their overland videos w/ bacon today. Did you guys coordinate that 😉
Having an ER Doc on the crew is invaluable.
Thanks for bringing us along. Incredible series!
Very nicely done thanks I really appreciate the hard work thank you
Thank you!
This was a beautiful, beautiful episode. Thank you also for not shying away from the consequences of injury in the wilderness. It's important that folks see what can happen and how to prepare (always bring an ER doc!).
Here in our part of Ontario on Monday Feb 7th regular fuel was 159.9 per liter, that's around 7.25 per gallon, gotta love that carbon tax..
This has been an epic awesome journey for all. What a frontier!! From an Aussie down under. Thanks heaps.
Wow, what a great episode. This one set the hook deep. I need to get back there.
jeez, I worked at Prudhoe for 8 years (74 - 82) , and it never occurred to me to take a plunge. Good job!
Super jealous of those rigs and the experience! One day, I swear.
on this planet there are 3 land mases that stand out, Australia, Africa, and the American continent. Simply EPIC!!!!!!!
I wish I can give such an adventure and lesson as this one to my boys. Thanks for the great story and inspiration. The Crew is awesome 🤠
Using wider lens on drone lets us to see scenery clearly and apreciate the nature more.
The view is amazing
Thanks for your efforts. Couple months ago Ive finished the serie yet wanted to see again.
11.11.2022
awesome! much love from a fan from the philippines!
Thank you!
Wow! Just awesome to watch. Thanks guys!
These videos are so inspirational. I love to see all the incredible work you guys do. Keep up the good work
Thank you!
I'm from India 🇮🇳 and this is my biggest dream and I believe one day I will make it beautifully like you guys 🥺❤️.
What an inspiration. Thank you XO!
Love that area, those grabbers don't seam to do to good in that sticky mud
I really like adventures like this
This series is amazing and a gem in the rough when it comes to TH-cam. I hope you guys keep making these and letting me go along with you around the world since I will never get to myself. Thanks for sharing.
HA! I’m right there with you! Only I’m old and slow now, I am not in physical shape to handle that kind of cool stuff anymore. I want to travel, but it’ll only be on decent roads in a Truck/Camper to give me my hotel suite on the road kind of thang! It’ll have BUG SCREENS an not one but TWO fly swatters inside! Ha!
For sure on the bug screens. This episode at that one camp looked terrible with misquotes. I can’t stand them.
Probably my favorite X overland episode to date! Keep crushing it dudes!
The scenery is simply breathtaking! Thank you Clay and team! Excellent content!
im just getting around to watching this series.. WOW is all i can say... what an epic journey.. thanks.
Thank you for what you do, love the shots of the wilderness and Toyota trucks
I spy a bag of Dot's Pretzels! My favorite camp snack. Great episode my friend.
Hope the finger heals ok. I cut my finger just like that whittling at Boy Scout camp when I was a kid. I still have a scar. Your scar story will be better than mine.
2 years ago the wife and i made the run up the Dalton Hwy. in a rented 4 Runner. Pulled into the Arctic Circle pull off only to hear the unwelcomed sound of air escaping one of our tires, thus cutting our trek north to Dead Horse short. Seeing yall run up the highway brings back so many great moments for me.
Good gear good team! Salute from Kyrgyzstan!
I really appreciate you guys passing on and delegating responsibility to the ones that are trying to learn. Great series so far
Loved the cookie scene between the brothers. I think I've gotten to know the Van Stralen kids better on XO this year than on their own channel. Great episode, again. Very nice to have an ER doc with you! Looking forward to the next one, but I think next is last? ...and that will be very sad!
They are so great! Yes, one more to go until the next season... ;)
More great views and great learnings...!!!
Absolutely brilliant adventure looks amazing.
Definitely right about second chances.
The landscape there looks so good, trucks also really well thought out.
Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing
Going to miss this when you guys are done. Wish we had TH-cam 20 years ago, I was young enough to be inspired and just do it ! Still inspired ! Just too old to follow thru 🙈
Absolutely awesome episode! I’m truly bummed that it’s coming to an end! Guess we gotta rewatch the other adventures!!!!
I need to do this while I am young. Working as hard as i can to make this trip happen within the next decade before i turn 30. Thank you so much for a truly amazing series and inspiring me to chase this dream!
Your channel is amazing all the adventures your crew have been thru is just truly mind blowing.
As always, fantastic work! Thank you for the amazing content!
Fantastic show!!! Keep them coming can watch these all day and night long
Beautiful
I love the cut about “delirium” on the long trip, and a person to spend it with. Amazing how it sets in on my own personal shorter trips with friends or family.
Based on all that is learned by the faults of breaks which happen on trail teaches us to adapt and over come and remount things where they should have been mounted in the first place.
Thank you so much once again!
I will be doing the same adventures as you, guys... One day.. I will make it.
Unbelievable production quality. The natural beauty of Alaska combined with riveting adventure is absolutely inspiring!
Another work of art.
How do these videos not have a million views. So we’ll done, thank you for sharing these experiences with us.
mmmmm snicker doodles
Thank you for sharing your adventures. You guys are awesome😂😂😊
I think the Van Stralen's need to change their channel name from Epic Family Road Trip to Epic Family Hospital Trip. Wow, are they accident prone. 😉
🤣
Awesome video, I love this series! Have y'all ever thought about taking a winter trip and driving on the ice to Barrow, AK?
Richard and Ashley did an Arctic trip in our solo series - they loved it!
@@ExpeditionOverland I wonder if Pepes is still there and in Business?
Seemed whenever I was there, polar bears were a big threat. No one wanted anybody heading to far either out on the ice pack, even atv’ing out of sight of town. I would find it boring, uncomfortable, as vibration from Tracked 4X4 or school bus is horribly kidney shaking. Modern vehicles might offer more ride comfort. Me? Don’t see the point for this series.
But? Am am unfamiliar with todays Point Barrow road system
@@garbinator09 currently there isn’t a road connecting Barrow to Deadhorse/Prudhoe Bay. But I did read an article that the only time to get there by land vehicle is when the ice freezes hard enough on the Arctic. Otherwise, the only way to reach it would be by air.
I get more inspired every time I watch. Thanks 🙏🏻👍
Should have a pin out< mainly< and a wire color diagram on hand. A good print out on your vehicle wiring is gold!
Good idea!
Awesome
Thank you
Soo addicted to your series.
the argument about the cookies was so funny
The miles travelled is crazy!
Looks like a great time
This series is excellent! I'm definitely making a trip to Deadhorse at some time, I just don't know when. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking, and the cinematography is awesome!
Hello from Butte, MT. Have watched all your adventures over the years. Great content. Thank you for letting us come along through the lens of your cameras. Great Job!!
amazing episode
Great video
Awesome episode !!
This has been better than any reality show I’ve ever watched
I'm surprised ya'll don't have bead locks and an air compressor. That may have helped in a couple situation. But this series is amazing and has me planning some two wheel trips I have wanted to make!
GOATED...that is all.
These expeditions and the storytelling are so enjoyable. Thank you for sharing with us. I can't think of better content to view. I can't call it entertainment because it's inspirational and educational and being able to see God's incredible creation tells me a lot about Him.
