So... would you brave Alaska in the autumn? 😜

I did a trek across Austraila in the summer there, and Alaska in the summer. I like to visit a place at its best, not its worst, but then I am in my 70s. I prefer short nights to short days! I hope you get to see the highlight of Alaska, Denali!

There is something you can buy in the US and it's meant to break free rust from bolts and the like. You might go to a Walmart or auto parts store and get a can for future use 😉

@David Wiebe Right. Went just to Whitehorse early February 1979. Average -40 at night, -20F daytime. Pretty relaxing now all smoothly paved.

I drove to Alaska (or at least the bulk of the Alaska Hwy) in early March back in '74 at 45 below so I would definitely do it in autumn even in my useless old age lol. My biggest issue would be staying awake - 😎😎

Why not? But then I am Canadian, eh?

Actually as a 22 year veteran on living in Alaska (Haines) you actually had a better trip now that in mid-summer. And that's because of the mosquitos which become nightmarish on the other side of the Brooks Range. I'm following you with interest, hoping you stop in Haines on the way back so that you aren't just rushing through AK. October is a great time to travel there. If you go through the MAIN Alaska Highway instead of the Cassiar you will have one day with all the animals you could want between Liard Hot Springs (hint) and Fort Nelson. October is the time, don't miss it. I'm serious it never fails. May you drive meaningfully Eva. It's not about how much you see, but how meaningfully you experience it.

@Scott Summers Thanks for a little common sense Scott.

@Dan   hey putz, he didn't say military veteran, he also didn't say that he wasn't. It's about the context of his post, he's a long time resident of Alaska, that is a thing. You don't have to be a jerk about someone else's life and experiences.

@benz minibus doc ....was that supposed to mean anything...??? ....what is your point...???

@Dan the fact that you compare or even equal places on the same latitude in different regions of the world contrasts your lengthy consideration to a degree. You are aware that due to the warming effects of the gulf stream locations in Europe and even the Baltics have a much warmer climate.

Yes indeed! That is the way I came back and I have never since seen so many wild animals along a highway, the Serengeti of the North! The hot springs is totally awesome too - but be careful - some pools are scalding hot!!

Awesome! Your Odyssey broke down at the gas station where we always fill up out fire engines. I work for State Forestry responding to Wildland fires in the bush in Fairbanks/Fox /towards Delta and down the Highway towards Anchorage until Denali National Park.

If your car won't start but the battery is charged try tapping on the starter pretty hard with a long pipe or hammer. If it starts you will need to replace the starter. This will get your vehicle started so you can go get the part. Padlocks are hardened steel. You need a diamond grit blade or something that will cut hardened steel. They are designed to resist cutting.

As much as I enjoy this video...I'm sure glad this girl is not traveling alone...yeah I know silly me...right

Mmmm...not sure anyone should be traveling alone in rough and remote conditions. Buddy system, just like scuba diving, or rock climbing.

Yeah, I wouldn’t want my daughter traveling alone. No way.

Always listen to the locals. They really will save your life. Every state has its own problems. Please don't ever do this again. LISTEN TO THE LOCALS

19:07I have watched several hours of your videos but this was the scariest moment for me till date 😬

I saw it coming. It's called Murphy's Law.

Your little boy is getting so big. He's going to be a great dog. I've lived in Alaska for over 40 years. Glad you got to see Alaska.

your editing and production is really, really good. Amazing how you can get drone shots too.... so fun to watch your travels

Nick and Matilde is such a blessing to this trip. Feel happy you are with them, such a relief, cant imagine how stressed you are if you are only on your own.

A push-on spade connector on a starter wire??? That's crazy! That should be replaced.

Your little boy is getting so big. He's going to be a great dog. I've lived in Alaska for over 40 years. Glad you got to see Alaska.

So I've only just run across this channel... I'm jealous! Thank you for bringing us along on your adventure. You guys are incredible.

Glad to see you have your dog with you , Alaska is so beautiful but dangerous so be safe

You are a great storyteller, it doesn't matter what happens to you it's always great to watch and as we travel with you I get more and more exited!

I'd rather see Alaska in summer or without snow. Autumn does look pretty with all the leaves changing but the weather can be unpredictable heading into winter. Safe journey to you and your friends.!

Hi Eva! Vilk is so precious and handsome. You are doing a great job training him. I love your enthusiasm and positive outlook. I bet your parents are so proud and in awe of the adventure girl they created!!! No one has mentioned to remember safety glasses or sunglasses when cutting metal. I hope that You, Vilk, Matilde, and Nick continue to have awesome adventures of the best kind!

No expectations, no disappointments. Only an experience that will be worth sharing over and over. Ah, dam i miss travels and thank you for inspiring!

Eva you're one of the most adventurous person I've ever seen. I've been following your adventures for over a year 👏 now. You're simply amazing. Keep on traveling

If you were my daughter I would be so ‘king proud of you for doing this! Happy trails girl - go for it,the future memories you are making right now are irreplaceable.

🤝🏻🎖️🎖️🎖️🤝🏻

Eva, Just got finished an adventure moving a friend from Maryland to Tacoma, Washington. Beautiful weather all the way, fantastic sights and gorgeous mountains taking Route 90 most of the way. I must say my buddy Mark probably brought me along because of my years of experience fixing and repairing vehicles. Our mantra quickly became, "What if it all works out". Positive thinking and vibes for any long journey. Safe travels.

Love these videos. Look forward to them every week, although I wish they were twice as long, 20 minutes just flies by haha! I must say though, Vilk is gi-normous now! He's such a beautiful dog.

Your little boy is getting so big. He's going to be a great dog. I've lived in Alaska for over 40 years. Glad you got to see Alaska.

Fajna seria filmów z tą wyprawą na Alaskę.

Love the Alaska series, so many memories. Did the same overland trip some thirty years ago; was so lucky to spend 3 months.

It must be nice and peaceful to be able to go to beautiful places like this with ur dog and travel the world!!

"Traveling— it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.“ — Ibn Battuta

So glad that Nick was able to troubleshoot your problem and it happened in Fairbanks. You have an angel on your shoulder for sure and are blessed to be traveling with such nice companions. Keep adventuring girl, but always be smart and always curious. Don’t forget to stop and experience the place. The road and the destination is empty if you don’t enjoy, experience and learn about what you’re seeing during the journey.

To be fair, there aint much to see on the Dalton Highway !

I enjoy the beautiful scenery and how brave you are. People should be able to live free, travel without fear of other human.

Love your videos, Eva! You are my inspiration! Thank you! I passed this border with my dog. I had exactly the same experience. I've got really nice stamp in my passport looking like moose and they asked me to pay $10 witch I did not have. That was it!

Thanks again for including all of us on your adventure! I'm also glad you're not alone and, as I assumed, Vilk's growing like a weed. I'll keep an eye out for the next episode!

I'm so happy I found your channel. I have a sabbatical scheduled for next summer and you are giving me many ideas for adventure. the trick will be to try and get my two teenage daughters to accompany me and hopefully find some enjoyment away from the digital world.

The two best times to travel across Alaska are early summer when it's just turning green, and fall when you have all the colors and the tourist traffic is gone. In the fall you still have plenty of daylight and you won't be experiencing extreme cold. I worked on the slope for a few years and have driven most of the Dalton highway. So long as you are traveling with several vehicles with some emergency gear, it is not an insurmountable task.

Amazing! How beautiful the wilderness is. Eva you rock! Love experiencing this with you and adore Vilk, such a big boy.

So glad your trip went well even though there were a few challenges, the team overcame them all.

I love watching good looking rich people roughing it.

Thanks so much for the video! Vilk has gotten so big! And he's having so much fun playing in the water! What an incredible adventure!

Great episode. As a Defender owner, do keep checking all of your oil levels as nothing must risk letting you down. Safe travels and more great content.

Your drone footage is amazing. You must have some very fancy gear. Also, your editing skills are approaching master level. Transitions, music, story telling is just superior. You have come a long way since I started following. Wishing you happy trails and memorable adventures during your trek.

evening Eva ...And crew! Hope you are all well and enjoying the fantastic scenery up there! best to have the minor issues before the long haul up the Dalton Highway and hopefully no further issues so you can enjoy your adventure. Have a great time till next time! Health@Happiness to you all.

Seeing your pups sense your concern of the car not starting and coming forward to help you figure it out was awesome. Surprised he does not ride up front all the time with you. Miles Cobbett, Fairbanks Alaska

she shouldve fixed the battery issue the first time it gave her problem. its kind of obvious

I drove to Alaska in (late!) November many years ago in a (borrowed) front-wheel-drive car. I thought I was prepared. I went the southern route, via the Marine Highway, Haynes, and Destruction Bay. I stopped overnight in Tok on my way to Anchorage. I made it (and in retrospect I’m amazed) and managed to avoid being eaten by bears (or mooses). I was younger and dumber then - it was an adventure!

I love love love your Alaska videos already 😍 your travel company, the scenery and all the adventure makes everything perfect, thanks for sharing that 💚

Thanks for taking us along it’s long been a dream of mine to visit Alaska hopefully next spring it’s so beautiful up there !

Nick and Matilde knew exactly what was wrong and fixed it right away, what a rockstar! that could have been a nightmare. This is super fun when you all get to camp and hang out and have food together! Matilde is so cute!!! I love this caravan. **edit** Tommy! and Tommys friend! more rockstars! You have so many people who love you and you always find the kindest people. Like attracts like

@Ramon Reyes This is like going to the moon and picking the most unreliable space capsule!

I am routing for you and Vilk, Nick and Matilde too! Safe travels !

This adventure will be even more enjoyable if the vehicles are more reliable.

Trzymaj się Ewa 🙂💪Nawet nie wiesz że spełniasz mażenia innych, powodzenia uważaj na miśki i ubieraj się ciepło😜

Great experience. Your trip through this area gives a brief glimpse of the beauty and deadly nature of this part of the world.

I like it so much, cant wait for continuing! Eva, as always: genuine, interesting, just right personal stories not to be just nice pictures and shots. You know wery well how to keep that balance, I imagine it's not easy. Wish you all good on the trip!🥰🥰

Oh my gosh, I'm glad the US border redeemed itself. The Texas experience was horrific. God bless Alaska :) lol. Safe travels. You are an inspiration.

Some people are born to be brave and you are one of them. Good on you Eva. 💜

2:55 Vilk looking out the window cosy in the back is something special !! I think doing this trip with them definitively a plus for you. Also looks way more fun having people by your side for a change :)

It’s lovely to see places my medical issues mean I will never be able to go. You choose the routes I would “off the beaten path”. I enjoy seeing where you go next. I hope you and Vilk (hope I spelt that right’ had a good Christmas and I hope 2023 is good to you both. Happy trails 😊

So great you have fellow travellers! Although I understood your hesitation at first. I love to travel alone and years later with my dogs, but I also love to travel with my dogs and other (like-minded) people! A memory for life.💕

We are binging your trip up to Alaska. This has been so much fun. It is SO cool the people that you've met along the way that turn out to be such sweet and caring people. Plus, your fellow outlanders (Nick and Mathild) are amazing companions. Thanks for sharing this with us. Onward and upwards..to the Artic Circle.

It’s so awesome to see someone else whom is interested in all this world offers and is a free spirit and is conquering the purpose of life. Also It is so awesome to see how well you handle yourself during the hardships and breakdowns. We only experience those testing times in our lives so that we become stronger beings. GoodVibes to You and Vilk -Cotton & “TaMa MawKwa” (my German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees who enjoys Vilk’s travels)

It's funny; I was arriving home to Dawson City on the same day that you left! I had my own vehicle issue; a tire that nearly exploded. A lovely man helped my change it, and by doing so, he missed the chance to cross the border on his own trip to Alaska. But, he was not worried; he loves the North, even in the Fall. And, yes the seasons come early up here. We have snow usually about 8 months of the year. And, seeing bears is no big deal - moose are far more dangerous!

Living this expedition. You guys rock. 😻👍

Your differing border experiences actually makes complete sense. The US/Mexico border is such a high traffic border crossing location that they have to be extremely strict about vetting who they let in. I'm not surprised at all about the CA/Alaska border being so easy to cross. Glad it was a smooth drive :)

woo Nick & Mathilde to the rescue! Vilk has grown so much already, gonna be a full fledged big boy soon 💚✌️

Good job. I took a similar trip in 1989. My journey was on the AlCan highway. I loved every mile of it and recommend this to anyone who wants to see the real world. I too camped out, the only way to do this trip. Enjoy your ventures in this world and thanks for the memories.

WOW!!! Great start to the Alaska adventure!!! A smooth boarder crossing, last car on the ferry for the year, last car before they shut down the hwy for the year. I started to feel the tension was building and the music you chose was great!!! The fog rolls in an I knew there was a big grizzly bear right down the road!!! The car breaks down and you know your glad your not traveling alone. Cant wait for the next vid. Stay safe. Peace!!!

Most people don't know this, but you can only put distilled water in a battery, chlorinated tap water will absolutely kill a lead-acid battery.

I wish I could travel the world same as you are... keep safe! and I keep on watching

Don't let the doomsayers worry you. When I was in Alaska in February, I spoke with an "aurora hunter" who traveled all of the central part of the state over and over in the dead of winter. You have more gear and a better vehicle than him (and he was pretty well prepared for anything!). The various lodges and outposts almost always have vacancy if you need to bunker down in a storm. The roads will be plowed within a reasonable time. You just really, really need to pay attention to when those storms are coming.

So glad your trip went well even though there were a few challenges, the team overcame them all.

I've been binge watching your videos, not in order, and this one brought back fond memories. We did the Top of the World Highway back in 1975 and thoroughly enjoyed Alaska. Everybody told us we'd break headlights and windshield, run out of gas, etc. We had no incidents until we got off the ferry in Prince Rupert, BC, and took a rock through the windshield as soon as we were on the paved highway. Go figure! Love your videos. Keep safe, young lady; you're a brave one!

I have watched several of your videos and enjoyed every one of them . Like you I have traveled to lots of places but for me it was as a climber, however what sticks with me is how lovely people are all over the world, only a few times have I found difficult people, the vast majority are lovely, caring and helpful. I heard you gave up an impressive career to do this and I respect and admire you for following your dream. X

So, follow up comment. I'm so glad that your potential mechanical problem was able to be fixed relatively easily, with not much emotional involvement. So, nice to have traveling companions sometimes, and great people like Tommy to be so gracious. I also have to say that Vilk is looking so much like a grown up dog now. You guys are having a fantastic journey. Thanks for sharing. Alos I have had the opportunity to be in the Anchorage area of Alaska a few times. My mom and dad got divorced when I was quite young and my dad lived in Alaska, mostly in Anchorage. I went up twice, the first time for the summer when I was 17, and the second about four years ago, just prior to my dad's passing. He used to be a bush pilot, and so the first time up I got to fly with him a bit and see Juneau and some other places. When I was there over the summer it was very cool because I was there for the summer solstice and the sun never went down. Thanks again. Chuck.

The scenery is so beautiful and watching your puppy grow up in this wonderland is so fun.

So enjoying hearing about and seeing your journey! Thank you for continuing to share 🦋

Nick is a good mechanic! Thanks for him and his wife!

Glad you had Vilk. He such a good boy! 🐾🐕🥰

Quite the adventure! Thank you for sharing your experience and well done with videography!

The amount of work required to create your videos is astonishing, Eva. Amazing! 🦘🇦🇺

Loved this episode. it's so great that you have great friends and traveling companions. And I'm glad you're meeting wonderful people in Alaska. Vilk is the star of the show though for me. sorry Eva. 🤣

Vilk is just a perfect looking GS. You must be a happy to have him.😊 You two, have a great Alaska expedition👍🏼

I'm so happy for you. You have every reason to be proud of your accomplishments. When I was younger, I traveled and camped in every kind of weather. I cross-country skiied and built my own snowshoes. I loved the winter and camping alone. I'm glad you are challenging yourself while you are young and strong. My idea of "roughing it" nowadays is staying at a Super 8 motel!

Eva! This trip is so amazing and you sure have been running into some snags! I'm glad you have Vilk and your new friends. 😊 I saw your fiasco at the US southern border and I think that was because of all the drug and human trafficking that takes place there and with all your amazing travels. I don't think that was intended to make it harder for you...just protecting you and us from people who want to bring harm to others. That is probably why crossing back into the US in Alaska went so much smoother. I am glad for you. 😊 I want to ask you a question more on the personal side. I noticed that you have a piercing in your left ear...a Daith piercing? Do you have that for cosmetic reasons or do you use it for a homeopathic reasons? I ask because I have chronic migraines and I've been thinking of getting one, but I don't know anyone who has that piercing. If it's for headaches or migraines, do you find it helpful? Thank you for bringing us along on your journeys. Many, many blessings to you and your companions. 🥰🥰🥰🐕‍🦺

sooo omg!!! thank you to share this wonderful experience with all of us! hope one day I will do the same! you're inspiring!!

You brought me memories. Our military sent me to Alaska for 3 years. I made it to both Deadhorse and Chicken and more. And I drove out on those roads when I was done. Adventure! Be safe.

I was out there on those same roads around the time you were out there and might've passed you! It was my first time visiting, but actually loved the late season. Much less crowds and more wintery weather to make it actually feel like Alaska. Everything was shutting down so always had to keep the tank topped up, just in case.

So glad you’re not going solo on this trip Eva….You have amazing companions… Vilk understands your every emotion….and wants to be by your side to protect you….. The trip so far is so exciting …the views are breathtaking ….Can’t wait for the next episode!

I used to go bag packing a lot during the 90's, nowadays not at all. I love your travels and really enjoying your vids. I love your positivity and the way you share your adventures, I actually, sometimes, feel like I'm there with you. Thanks a lot for sharing it with us. Love it :-) P.S. as an animal lover I'm so glad you have Vilk.

The joys of this time of the year. My 3 boys and I just spent a month up in Ladakh,India. We had plans to do the Leh- Manali road but winter came early…….snow, snow and more snow……so a huge 11 hour drive to Kashmir it was. Travel is always an amazing adventure….with many “diversions”. Enjoy the journey….it looks incredible.

you guys are like guardian angeles to each other! so awesome in such a remote place...I can't stop thinking about into the wild movie...yeah. take care of yourselves ok :)

I just love how Vilk can sense that you’re worried! Good luck Eva, you just inspired me to go explore Alaska again!

not seen your channel before, looks like a cool trip you are having :o) Never fails to surprise me how little mechanical knowledge many people have, yet they still head off into the middle of no where. Ignorance is bliss ? Happy travels ! From a fellow Land Rover camper driver.

Thanks for sharing your journey. Physically I'm not capable of such a trip, so I'll experience thru your videos. Safe Journey and Godspeed.

A portable emergency jump starter might be a good investment if traveling in hash conditions in isolated areas where getting stuck could result in very bad time. I think you can use them for powering other stuff while not in such places.

Love your filming and your adventures. You have such an infectious laugh and really positive approach to all that you do which makes your videos so captivating. Happy travels to you and Vilk (top doglet!).

What a journey! Vilk seems to get bigger every episode. Safe travels :).

You are a brave young lady. Bravo for you. Please stay safe. I am so glad you have friends to travel with. Too dangerous a trip for anyone let alone a lady to go all alone.

A really great video... enjoyed it so much, shared it with friends too... I really admire your spirit of adventure and bravery. Kudos are more than in order. I've heard that Alaskan mosquitoes are large enough to carry of small children🤔🤔

That was spectacular! Excellent job documenting your journey. Alaska is beautiful.

I knew it wasn't your battery because when the car did start, it started immediately and without any hesitation, meaning the battery was strong. Other than something more serious, it could have only been a bad or loose electrical connection somewhere between the ignition and starter motor. ➡ For future reference, problems like these often expose themselves when the weather is very misty or foggy (as you had just experienced), due to the extreme moisture in the air - which is even worse than pouring rain - it literally gets everywhere. That's why it's so important for all electrical connectors to be secure and properly shielded. A good tip is to spray all electrical cables and connections with WD-40 (just don't overdo it). It's quick, cheap, easy and could save you from unnecessary problems in the future by displacing moisture. Safe travels Ewuniu i Trzymaj się 🇵🇱

To all her Patreon supporters thank you since I can't do it, thank to you all this is possible for us to enjoy, thank you again you guys rock

I'm so glad your vehicle breakdown was at that location AND you had traveling companions for your Alaskan trek at the time. You really don't want to be alone traveling in remote areas with low to no access to help without traveling companions. I love your travels but we all want you safe. 👍

Can't wait for more. You're adventure spirit, in this last wild place, makes this series the best! Hope we get the ride back from Prudhoe as well!

I love this series! So awesome to follow!!
