I hear you! Can't wait to hit the road on a long trip! Keeping fingers and toes crossed we will fight his Covid! Or at least learn to live with it! I think overlanding is going to grow as a favorite thing to do in this new era of viruses!
Cheers!
Nice. I read your chapters. That was an exciting adventure. I hope to one day drive the Dalton and Top of the World Highways.
Glad you got the certificate in Tuk. Hope you join the Dempster Rally next year (event is already posted).
I was hoping to go to Tuk this year as well, but Covid...
Not sure if you’ve made it up there given Covid (Dempster past the NWT border is still closed). I just posted an event for 2021: road trip from Calgary to Tuk via de Dempster. I’ve driven the Dempster many times in case you have any questions.
I use Wise Company. Love the Wise Cheesy Lasagna, has 15 grams of protein per serving (great for hikers). It's lightweight and easy to pack. Cooks in pouch for minimal mess (just add hot water).

The dates will change in early 2021 (right now it's a placeholder), but they are dependent on many factors --...
Great!
It is beautiful up there. I have driven the Dempster many times. Had it planned for this year again -- all the way to Tuk, but then Covid happened. Hope Covid will be gone by the time July/August 2021 comes around. This time, I'll be heading to Tuk for the first time
Hope you'll join the...
Ha! Ha!
This is only for 2021, so lots of time to prepare. If you were there in 1989, lots has changed. You are definitely due for another visit *smiles*
This will be a multi-week road trip with lots of off-roading, hiking, camping (including off-grid), pic stops...and.... lots of 'white-knuckle-holding-on-to-the-edge-of-the-seat' passenger reactions! (just kidding). We will also be dipping our toes in the Arctic Ocean.
