  My Uncle has been a Mechanic in Fairbanks for about 40 years. He tell's me -40F is the magic number when shit exponentially breaks. Hoses, Belts, flat spots on the tires. As you learned the hard way, don't turn off a Diesel. When it hit's -40F the wreckers are lined up his garage.

  Hey Tim, not sure if you'll see this, but want to let you know how much these vids mean to me.  I'm an older guy who works at home staring at spreadsheets and numbers all day.  I love to run your vids on the side and live vicariously through your adventures.  Really appreciate your quality work here.  Watching these while I'm working makes the day a lot better and I hope you have a lot more adventures to come.  Thanks!

  Couple of suggestions here from a former Canadian logger ;  In this kind of cold you DEFINITLY need to keep it running ALL the time, this allows a certain amount of fuel to be warmed and returned back to the tank, this keeps the rest of the fuel in the tank warm!  In cold weather we would cover the machines in a Army surplus parachute with a kerosene heater inside, it inflates from the heat inside and keeps the machines and the  everything underneath it above freezing even in -40 degree weather!! Also think about getting some battery warmers, this really helps the batteries have full power even in cold weather.  Thanks for the fun adventures, stay safe and keep that camera rolling, best of luck !!!

  It doesn&apos;t matter that I&apos;m 4000 miles away sitting in a recliner while its 65 degrees outside... Watching these videos sometimes still makes me anxious for you cause I know I would be in major trouble if I was in your shoes lol. It&apos;s truly amazing how you stay so calm regardless of the situation! That is a real gift.

  You filmed this two years ago tomorrow, (today is 2/14/26) yet watching this was anxiety inducing. &nbsp;People living this life in Alaska are tenacious, courageous, intuitive……outstanding, and maybe a little bit crazy. &nbsp;🤣. &nbsp; I sure enjoy watching so many of you living your best lives and learning that many of you are connected through your adventures. &nbsp; Thank you.

  Canada must be a really safe place. I used to hitch hike to college in the 70’s. 18 hr drive. Not any more. US has changed. Too dangerous.

  This is why in Siberia Yakutsk people never ever turn off their engines , At least no one died and lessons were learned this day , stay safe man.
