One of the coolest, if not the most impressive part of your videos, is when you decide to stop whatever adventure, trip, or task that your doing because you realize that the potential danger or, unfavorable conditions will not be worth it. Your thought through approach, along with your acceptance of those negative conditions without getting overtly angry and upset, shows a level of maturity that is rarely seen. Thanks for another great video.

I find it admirable that you respect people's privacy by not sticking a camera in their face. I'm sure they appreciate it too. And it benefits you because you get the reputation of being a youtuber who interacts with people genuinely, and not just for content. It's nice. IDK why I'm making this comment, but eh.

Greetings all the way from South Africa. My mom passed away last week, watching your videos eases the pain as the scenery is amazing. Thanks alot.

[HolyGuacamole]

It can be dangerous, it can be deadly, but man, Alaska is one beautiful place. I appreciate your videos very much!

[bobross]

Timmy, you are by far what YouTube is all about! I love your adventures and your personality is magnetic! You rock.

When I was growing up, my mother sometimes made us corned beef hash with eggs for dinner. She would open the top and the bottom of the can and create slices of the hash and fry it with fried eggs between the slices. 1960s style. We liked it!

I can’t do cold anymore; was born & raised in the north. Now I’m in Southwest Utah a hour outside of Las Vegas. Glad there’s folks who do. Awesome video! Stay safe 🤙🏻

HA! I grew up in Tanana. At one point we had over 100 sled dogs. Our family was very much into dog racing. I learned my work ethic by feeding all our dogs every day. Building. a fire, boiling a big 55-gallon gas drum full of salmon and white fish from the Yukon River, and mixing that with Purina dog chow. It smelled so good, many times I dipped my finger into the food and eat. lol. When you drive back through Denali, try to capture a shot of Denali Grizzly Bear Resort. This is our 57th year we have operated our family business. Thanks Timmy.

Tim, just bump up the idle to where the oil pressure gauge jumps up from the idle mark. Thats all you need then. Also, there is an upgrade oil pump for that engine made by Melling that is MUCH better for that engine. It is located on the front crankshaft snout so not a big swap but for sure worth it. Hope that helps you out, love your videos! be safe!

[TheSebringrev]

My wife and I watch everything you put out. Thanks for giving us great videos to watch about Alaska. And we really admire your home on wheels. Keep up the great work!!

You can't beat mother nature, you just have to go with her. Respect for your perseverance and resilience

[TammyHiland]

I've never seen snow in person. I've never touched snow in my whole life. Florida born and raised I live in Georgia now. I only wish I could do what you're doing but I'm older and I've got a lot of health issues so watching you do these things makes my heart happy thank you Tim.

[Frazier_Holmes]

You are the man! If you re-watch the video closely…I think the torch from the propane bottle fell inside of the batch of tree limbs you were using to the start the fire with…lol

[hipgroove]

Baking cookies in sub zero temps is...
LEGEND!!!!

[auroravioletlight]

👍 Hey Timmy. I've enjoyed our trip. Thanks for the ride along. See you next time. 🙋🇬🇧

[GregoryMetzen]

I like your attitude when all goes wrong.

[dianesilverstein]

No, it isn't crazy -- "I feel most at home when i'm moving"! In your truck driving. I get it.❤😊
The scenery was magnificent! Safe travels!

[OneTwoFourFloor]

I appreciate the content you deliver. The hard work you put in really shows. Can’t wait for your warmer month adventures as well. Thanks man. Be safe

[JB]

She's a good girl that truck. Treats you well. Turns some lights off when driving in the blowing snow.

I'm in Canada. -40 is par for the course. I have a farm with a 1/4 mile drive. I use a Ford Diesel compact tractor to plow us out. Most winters, it gets around -50 with wind gusts. Needless to say, I don't leave my ol ford diesel running all winter. A simple block heater. If I get stuck in the field, need to shut down. I will run a generator on the block heater. Also, we have a rule here on the farm. No silverware inside non-stick pans. The non stick material chips with metal utensils. They are CFC's known as "Forever Chemicals" eg: Genx. They also bio-accumilate inside a body. We only use plastic ware to contact these pans.
