Expedition Overland

Expedition Overland embarks on their dream to see the last frontier, Alaska and the Yukon! Learn the history of the team and follow their preparations for the adventure of their lives. Join the crew as they build their 2013 Tacoma, learn driving skills, take a wilderness first aid class, and go on a shakedown trip to finalize their prep for Alaska!

The team hits the road and sets up camp for the first time. The history of the Alaska highway is addressed and the team has its first animal encounter (with more than just mosquitos)!

The team heads south into Alaska and hits the awesome town of McCarthy, Alaska. Glaciers, mountains, great people, great food, with an awesome flight adventure to boot. It's all here with a twist of humor!

The adventure continues as the crew leaves their trucks behind and heads out into the open waters of Valdez, Alaska where they view incredible glaciers, icebergs and sea life and grow even closer as a group.

The team tackles their first muddy vehicle recovery and then push for an epic camp spot below a glacier. Rivers, heavy vehicles, and navigation become challenges and the team must make some important decisions.

The adventure continues on through one of the best drives in America: the Denali Highway. Some of the crew get to enjoy a helicopter flight for the first time. The team experiences the worst and best campsite of their trip thus far and in a remote part of the Denali Highway, the crew swamps the Land Cruiser. It's all hands on deck for this one!

The crew makes a critical decision to push hard to the farthest north you can drive in North America: Deadhorse, Alaska! They celebrate the 4th of July at the end of the Elliot Highway in Manley Hot Springs and meet some great local characters along the way. The expedition crosses the Arctic circle and experiences the Dalton Highway first hand. 495 miles of dirt one way!

The crew picks up expedition members Ryan Erickson and Ty Heaps and takes a few days to explore as the team goes through a major transition. Throw in some deep river crossings to the new guys and you've got a good time!

The guys' trip is underway! They travel the Top of the World Highway from Chicken, Alaska to the famous Dawson City, Yukon in Canada. Lots of characters are found along the way as well as some history and a little trouble. This trip is getting interesting!

A breakdown has stranded the team as they begin the Dempster Highway in the Yukon. The guys must work together and overcome time crunches to maintain schedules. The road is dangerous and close calls are part of the experience, but the top of the world awaits and nothing has prepared them for that!

From the Top of the World Highway, the crew continues their way back to Inuvik by boat, stopping at a whaling village and engaging in conversation with the locals. Then it's a hard push down to Hyder, Alaska-some 39 hours of drive time to the South. The guys travel from the Arctic Ocean to the edge of the Pacific in just three days, with a stop at the most spectacular location of the trip!

After plunging into British Columbia, the crew sets out on their most ambitious adventure yet: the Alexander Mackenzie Heritage Trail! Almost extinct, the trail proves to be a significant logistical challenge. Ty takes a severe injury, and the team operates with one man down. Fuel, navigation, breakdowns, and the elements of nature all come into play during this epic, final leg.
