amazing blog, ive wanted to get up to alaska for a long time. ive just been waiting to get my truck to a point i can trust it, and i want some kayaks. how was it finding gas stations. my truck atm without any aux tanks has a range of only about 500-700k depending on the road.

Hey Cody - I've wanted to get up to Alaska for as long as I can remember and it was everything I dreamed it would be. I'll be back one day, I know that for sure. You really need to get up here and see it.
Don't worry about trusting your truck too much, like someone else said, problems are just a reason to meet new people. There are plenty of parts and NAPAs around for domestics.
The farthest I've had to go so far without gas was only 240 miles (384km). I can also squeeze 600km out of a full tank and I'm sure I'll run out of gas sooner or later, but again, I'll just meet new people when it happens

Get up here man, you won't regret it

As long as it takes haha

I have no plan, but I'm already moving south, albeit really slowly because I love it so much up here and I keep finding more and more adventures to get into
I'm starting to think I'll blast through the lower 48 more and more.

I made a detour to the sleepy town of Atlin in Northern BC to checkout the warm springs there
Well worth the detour for weary legs.
