Welcome back to our epic Arctic expedition! So far, we've traveled through the stunning landscapes of British Columbia and the Yukon, crossed sketchy bridges, encountered incredible wildlife, and explored unique sites and historic towns. Each moment has brought us closer to our ultimate goal – the Arctic Ocean. Today, we embark on the legendary Dempster Highway, leaving Dawson City behind and setting our sights on the Arctic Circle. The adventure ahead won't be easy – we've heard that the river ferries might not be running, gas stations could be out of fuel, and there's a road closure due to a washout. But we are determined to reach our goal of camping next to the Arctic Ocean. Join my good friend Shaun from The Story Till Now and I as we push northward, tackling the wild and remote path to the top of the world. The most exciting part of our journey is just beginning!

    One thing I like about Brad is he films the content he wants, how he wants, and it's no nonsense. He shows you the good, the bad. No clickbait. Not putting his wife in a bikini in the thumbnail. Just a dude doing what he loves and sharing it with us. Respect.

    What a fabulous adventure! Some of that scenery was breathtaking. I have no doubt that a lot of emotions swept over the two of you throughout this journey.
  • @markcorreia2313
    We were up there just weeks before you and had to cross the frozen rivers! Due to a snow storm we had to divert once we got to INuvik. We learned they were about to close the rivers. On the way back the gladiator broke thru the ice just before the edge. Thankfully the front tires caught the ice and brought us back out of the water. Great series Brad! Loved the memories up there!
  • @MikeKing-ju7rw

    Welcome to the "Arctic Circle Club". I crossed back in 1970 on my way to a remote AF radar site. I have really enjoyed seeing your trip, seeing the scenery. Thank you so much for filming this for us to enjoy.
