The Call of the North: Journey to the Arctic Ocean - Go North Ep. 1
In this episode we kick things off with an introduction to who we are and what the Go North expedition is about. After almost 4 years traveling the contiguous US its time that we see some of Canada and Alaska. It has always been our plan to RV to Alaska with a truck camper because of being smaller and more flexible, while still having the capabilities of a truck. While we have never tried this form of travel we are very excited to be hitting the road and learning the ups and downs of truck camper life during this epic road trip to the Arctic Ocean!

OMG! Your intro to your documentary series is so spectacular that it qualifies as a documentary all on its own! Your ability to craft a story and produce stunning visuals makes you the perfect couple to share the amazing adventure you're starting. We can't wait to see and share all you have to show us. Safe & happy travels - Peter & John. PS... thanks for the mention, and for showing us jumping for joy with you... because that captures how we feel seeing what you've begun here.

So incredibly well said, Peter and John. Your comment captures many of the thoughts I'd also express. Tom and Caitlin's intro to the _Go North_ series with Lance Camper is a masterful creation. Mortons on the Move are the perfect couple (and team) for this adventure experience and I'm very much looking forward to following along as they share this on-in-a-lifetime adventure with us. Thanks Lance Camper for making this project possible. You couldn't have chosen better brand ambassadors than Mortons on the Move!

Moving with the Morton’s.Technical expertise of Hollywood, insight of artists, adventuring spirit that has driven man to go west, to the moon, soon Mars, and down to earth approach that shows what they do, we could do. Kudos to Lance campers! This is a company that wants no compromises and associates itself with winners, like the Morton’s. Rock on!

It looks and feels as if it is produced by a major network like National Geographic or the Travel Channel. So well planned and directed, I'm excited to watch this journey through your crafty lens.

I lived in Prince George in the 70’s and every summer there were many people “doing the Alaska Highway”...cars & trucks piled high with spare wheels & large jerrycans (for gas). Last summer my sister & brothers-in-law drove up to Tuktoyatuk on the new highway. Another sister & BIL often use the Cassier highway, they’re naturalists & often work in the bush. I’ve only been on a portion of the Alaska Highway (gravel & hairpin turns) from Dawson Creek-back in the early 70’s! Need to get up there as an adult! Our father was in the RCAF & did something with the Alaska Highway. Enjoy my country! The scenery is amazing...

So many people get so focused on "getting to Alaska" that they blow though the Yukon... Its an amazing Territory. You might really enjoy the Beringia Centre in Whitehorse, which focuses on the paleoarchaeology of the land bridge that connected The Yukon and Alaska to Siberia. Also take the opportunity to paddle on The Yukon River and there are some amazing mountain bike parks in Whitehorse... during the Klondike Gold Rush, in 1898, there were 40,000 people in Dawson City, making it the largest city north of San Francisco. Also check out poet Robert Service's cabin and read his poems about the Yukon - The Cremation of Sam McGee is the most famous. The Dempster is a great drive... but make sure you've got the right tires for the road. The towing companies make a lot of money hauling trucks and RVs off the Dempster. Have an awesome trip. Look forward to following.

We also had the : why did we come back to Alberta in March after 2 months in Mexico Moment. Being on the Road for 4 year covering all of Western Canada as a Product Manager, we knew we love travelling so we decided to Go RvLife. Our Channel is about making the Transition from Acreage Life to RvLive. We recently bought a F450 and the biggest truck camper and are now customizing the camper for boondocking. We will be heading out for small trips this Summer and plan to head south into the USA and BAJA next Winter. We would love if you could join us. (Funny: Christian is also an engineer. Seems to be common for this lifestyle). We are excited about your northern adventure. Perhaps we can cross paths in Western Canada!
