Thinking about taking your overlanding adventures all the way to Alaska? Our guests Ann and James have done it, and they've got plenty of stories, surprises, and hard-earned advice to share!

This week, Garrick and Melody welcome Ann back to the show, along with first-time guest James, to talk about their month-long adventure from Seattle through Canada and into Alaska. Traveling in their two 4Runners, they explored Banff and Jasper, tackled the rugged Dalton Highway to Deadhorse, and ventured as far south as Homer.

Along the way, they discovered that planning an Alaska adventure isn't necessarily about having every detail figured out. It's about knowing where to find fuel, having backup camping options, preparing for the unexpected, and knowing which creature comforts you absolutely can't live without.

From enormous potholes and relentless mosquitoes to a close encounter with a bear and a broken shower that changed their entire camping strategy, Ann and James share what worked, what didn't, and what they'd do differently next time.

We also get into free camping along the Alaska Highway, navigating without cell service, the importance of backup gear, and some of their favorite destinations along the way.

Whether Alaska is already on your bucket list or you're just dreaming about the ultimate northern road trip, this episode might be the inspiration you need to start planning.
