I Drove to the Far North of Alaska (End of the Road)

Would you jump into the Arctic Ocean with me? 😁

Raising Vilk and losing sight of your own life is incredible. It goes to show how much love you have for him…and he’ll return it 10-fold throughout his life.

In March 2014 I was standing in the same location on top of 3 metres of frozen sea ice in the bitter cold and made the same statement that every step here would be a step south to Ushuaia. In May 2016 after 622 days I arrived in Ushuaia and burst into happy tears having travelled 43,000 kilometre…by bicycle. I’ll be watching your adventures with interest. Good luck.

I've lived in Alaska almost 50 years and have worked all over it including Barrow and Deadhorse and much in between. You are a strong, sweet spirit Eva, the sort of person that has always gravitated to and then stayed here in Alaska. You would do well living somewhere in our great state, there are never enough you's. I'm glad you enjoyed the ride. Quite by accident I found your channel, lucky me. You bring back some great memories when I was your age and this place was all new. You must come back someday!

KERFUFFLE.....great word. Haven't heard it in decades. I'm going to bring it back!! Your ability to put your sights, sounds, emotions into words is a gift.

I worked in Prudhoe Bay for 25 years for Worley, Peak and Halliburton it is the best place i have worked in my 50 years in the oilfield i am retired now but miss working there and the good friends i had there, i have been to remote locations that only a handful of people have ever been Good luck on you trip and be safe and careful

I worked in the oil fields of Prudhoe Bay for 6 years. 7-12 hour days 4 weeks on 2 weeks off. The only things I miss is working “night” shift during the summer (sun is out 24 hours), many northern light displays, wildlife, and learning about all the unusual machinery that is up there.

Tip: When winching, put your hood up. If that cable lets go, you don't want to add a busted windshield to the mix. Same goes for guarding your back window when towing someone out of a fix.

I've just found your channel about 24hrs ago and have watched a few of your videos, mostly since you've gotten Vilk. He has gotten so big and you have done an amazing job at training and raising him. A dog maybe a small part of your life but to them, you are their entire life.

Loved your comments about raising Vilk. You won't remember me encouraging you at the beginning of your life together, but I'm glad you realize how much a dog can enrich your life. Choosing a dog is one thing, but there's nothing more special than when a dog chooses you.

The desolate vibe here reminds me of my first night in Iceland last year, leaving the airport at 11 pm and seeing only an endless field of contorted grey-black stone receding into the gloom, and in the distance the flickering light of the volcano. It felt like entering Mordor, but was stunning in its own way.

Alaska is one of those places that makes you feel like you’ve gone further north than you were supposed to.

I know puppies are tough, but so worth it. I'm so happy you have a true companion on your travels. One that won't let you down like any human. Kids are 100 x the amount of responsibility... and losing yourself, your identity, your path - completely detours your life in a different direction. Also rewarding but you lose yourself for about 20 years or more just trying to provide a good life to another human that is completely dependent on you. XOXO You are doing great!

Dogs pay back 1000 times what you put into them and the unconditional love is priceless. Love your travel blog by the way. Amazing adventure.

I'm an Alaskan since 1975. Wouldn't live anywhere else. Love your vjdeos and heartfelt narrations. You share your heart and soul right into the camera with the personal but intense gaze like you're talking just to me over a campfire. May the angels watch over you and keep you safe and healthy as you fulfill your dreams.

Have you ever realized that dogs wake up smiling and joyful every morning? I envy them that.

I lived in a small van with two Alaskan huskies for 1,5 years and to be able to fulfill their running needs (as they come from pure working sleddogs lines) my whole driving and in general entire daily schedule revolves around them. I know how limiting it can feel. And at the same time, because of THEM I have gone to the most beautiful locations by accident, searching for a good training trail. So yes, they take up a ton of time (and even more with a puppy!), and they restrict a lot what I can do and where I can go. But the only way thru this is to lean in, to embrace it and see where your journey will take you two where you otherwise wouldn't have gone alone. And do not feel bad spending to much time on the training! First years are the worst, after that your work will pay off big time, because the older the dog gets, the more time they need to learn new skills compared to the same skills in their younger years. So, better spend these 2 years focusing on the training and then the rest 10 enjoying the fruits rather than being frustrated 5 years later and wishing you would have put in the work ;)

This girl clearly knows how to live her life! She's an inspiration for many. Tak trzymaj, Ewa!!!

As you have learned through your journey, those moments of feeling overwhelmed only make you a more complete person in the end. Enjoy the journey and embrace being an awesome Dog Mom. Never forget that it is okay not to be okay sometimes.

I really appreciate your honesty about how hard it is to raise a dog. I have never heard anyone talk like this before about their dogs and to me it shows such maturity and self-awareness. Good on you and thank you for sharing.
