And a huge shout out to the Transglobal Car Expedition for their historic achievement of driving to the geographic North Pole yesterday! Gotta make it across to Greenland now before the ice breaks up…

Couple of days and we’ll be home. Today we transitioned from the splendid isolation up north to the hectic pace of resource industries gearing up for the season. I’ll be glad to get off the road! Remnant of the Canol Road construction during WWII Soaking our cares away at Liard Hot Springs...

Now back in the land of wifi at Whitehorse Yukon Territory, enjoying warmth and sunshine as we head back South…even washed that Dempster dirt off our truck! We took a shortcut out of Aklavik, bypassing Inuvik for an unadvertised ice road that runs 160km down the Peel River to Fort McPherson...

Snowmobile racing Saturday Our friend generously let us boondock at her house. Looking forward to tonight and the talent show! Tomorrow we head south via an informal ice road that saves about two hours driving time. I’m informed that it is in good shape 🤞

Arrived Aklavik

Blizzard warning on the Dempster and they’ve closed the road South. We have a couple more days planned up here but hoping the road clears by then. The record this year, up to now, was nine days closure also for a blizzard and subsequent clean-up.

We are just over 50k kms right now. In summer configuration with all our toys we were a fat cousin over GVWR but the switch to lithium helped out. We’ve learned that we don’t really need all the water this thing can carry but extra fuel can be necessary at times. That lower side entry is...

Hey, thanks for waking this thread up! As you know from the other thread, we are currently on the road for an Arctic adventure. I’m still very impressed with the way it drives and handles. How much the Radflo’s contribute I can’t say. For winter travel we are at the lightest since we aren’t...

Cell service is so much better now than the last time we visited Tuk so I’ll go ahead and load a few more pictures. With no formal camping facilities open at Inuvik, here we are arriving for the night at the airport. Mrs TT just discovered she’d left the step hanging out since our last rest...

Change of plans again. As the farmer’s say, “make miles while the sun shines”, or something like that…

Spent the first night after Dawson in Tombstone Territorial Park, intending to stay next at Eagle Plains. On arrival, the road conditions were so good we just went for it and “poof” we are at Inuvik! A day off now and Tuk next… Dawson City on a sleepy Saturday morning but we managed to find...

Well, the sanity of Leafs fans has always been questionable 🥴 Now at Dawson City and the truck is no longer clean, 6C and slush. So warm this season in fact they never established an ice bridge across to West Dawson. Good news is that all roads north are open! Edit #2: also realized that...

Checking in from Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, on a bright sunny day that reached 5C. The roads have been dry so our rig remains clean! As expected most public and private campgrounds are still closed but our favourite boondocking spot so far was an old airstrip. We were surprised to find the...

Looking forward to reading your in-depth post. Just passed 30k miles with our Godzilla-powered rig and the best compliment I can give is that it’s completely forgettable! And I mean that in a good way ;-)

Oops, sorry I don’t mean to hijack your build thread. I’ll send a pm when we get back from this trip.

Great news! Will they land or airdrop? I ask because we will have to figure out an airdrop resupply later this summer and I could use any tips on packaging. We’re leaving for Aklavik next week…

Great to see this write-up Bob, gonna be a fun journey!

FWIW I tested a similar Martin catalytic propane heater by running it for 15 minutes in the closed bathroom (no fan running either). There was zero CO produced according to my monitor, even during startup. It did get pretty toasty in there though.
