HARDEST Overland Trail In North America (We Almost Died)
Save 20% off OnX Off-Road: bit.ly/OnXTSTN
In the summer of 2022, my friends and I set out to conquer one of the most difficult overland routes in North America, The Alexander Mackenzie Heritage Trail. In total, it took us 9 days off-road, we crossed 3 deep rivers, we ran out of fuel twice, and came dangerously close to rolling our trucks on a sketchy section of the trail that is almost impassible. This is the full movie edit of our adventure.

Hope you guys enjoy this movie version of our Alexander Mackenzie Trail adventure from last year. Probably wanna make some popcorn. 👍🏻
That's great Bro❤
Absolutely amazing G !
Will you be doing it again now with the V8, 1 tons and 40s with the crew ?
Ok! I was going to say isn't this a re-post but making a movie style of it is cool.
This is your best one yet, my favorite overlanding video that I have seen from anybody. Truly epic
I lived in that area. My family had grazing rights through that area in the late 60s to 80s... that "Tractor" is actually a horse-drawn harvest/mower. One of four we had. My dad had a worker (named Duncan) mowing, and the thing sank up to its axel in mud... so he left it there... Congrats, guys, you found Duncan's Field! 31:57.
That is super cool!!
Really cool! Thanks for the info.
@@TheStoryTillNow I get it, it's fun.... But you coulda done this trail faster hiking. 😂
@@sasquatchrosefarts that’s true for a lot of off-road trips, but try packing in several weeks worth of food and shelter…..
@@JimsEquipmentShed Native Americans didn’t need to pack weeks of food and water…
Just want to add one small thing I appreciated about this - the lack of swearing. I watched this with my three boys, ages 2, 4, and 6, and they were riveted the whole time. It got us dreaming about a trip someday. Nice to be able to watch this without having to wade through adult language throughout.
Glad you your boys enjoyed it. That’s why we keep it clean. 👍🏻 Gotta inspire the kids to be adventurous.
Crazy video! Braun handle guiding teddy extremely well (maybe there was more off camera 😂). My patience would’ve grown thin. Spotters are there for a reason and arguably Braun took the most risky vehicle through there already. You have to have faith in the people you’re doing this with.
.. Sometimes the nerves dictate the action ... one way or another ..
I mean he said I can feel my rear slipping and look he's slipping but def should trust your spotter
plus he drives a Yota, that's why he's so cool!
Please take this is in a spirit of a much older man whos lived hard twice as long as you good men have lived. I was a forester and firefighter in the early 80s and before that a lumber jack in North Central Washington. One bit of hard nosed serious advice. WEAR A SHIELD AND HARD HAT CUTTING DEADFALLS! Besides my own stupid experience getting a cornea punctured the number is uncountable how many branch lacerations and torn up faces,.blind eyes. And we had chopper airlift. Just what was your plan out there? Please folks, my pain and disability is your wisdom. Great video, great guys, and Toyota ruled the way. God bless you guys for making great videos.
I agree with you 100%. While I loved the movie, I was shocked that guys weren’t wearing any eye protection when using saws. With no extra drivers, even a corneal abrasion stops the whole trip for a couple days. Just seemed like a simple thing could really strain a super awesome trip. Nonetheless thanks for sharing a great adventure with us!
Braun is like the coolest old school cat everybody wants to do a trail with.
I was thinking exactly the same!
Braun is the fucking man. I’d pick him for my team for any endeavor.
So what ever happened to Alex and Monica? Why did they ha e to leave so early?
@Anabolicnerd also, not being an ass, just a question.... You said the locals did not want you crossing in their area. Is it not public land? Is it not part of the AM trail? If it is, then what is the problem? If it is not, then I get it. Was just asking?
I woulda been getting fucked up the whole time
Love to see the old school 4 runner, really shows that you don't need the latest thing to go out there and enjoy the wilderness.
Absolutely. You can do what we do with whatever 4x4 you have.
I think all that suspension and wheels/tires sure do help though 😉
Less modern electronics to deal with as well. Lighter too
Lol are you kidding? It's a 4 runner, if mechanically 💯 it's a million times better then those jeeps! Specially if you have a manual transmission with 4x4 running all 100% with upgraded suspension.
Very well said sir..
Fun tip, you can use 2 ratchet straps to compress your suspension on the high side of the trail to keep your top heavy rig more level in those bad off camber situations. Attach one end to the frame, go under your axle, (wrapping the axle once or twice helps prevent the strap sliding around) and then hook it back to the frame again. Then you just crank it on down.
I couldn't understand why the two guys didn't stand on the high side of the vehicle at least.
Your hard work in clearing the trail is a service to everyone, thank you.
It makes me happy to see ppl actually use these trucks for what they are intended for
Totally! Let the fake wood panel grocery getter 12 seater wagon ,get groceries! And let the trucks free!
My take away from this vid is that your guy Braun is an absolute animal. The dangerous stuff, too, but Braun is the friend we all need, or need to be.
normal guy where I'm from🤷♂
Is he smoking joints or rolled cigs???
Dude seems super squared away. Kinda guy you want around when shit is going sideways
@@jeremytrammell3223😂 probably both I seen that
That's why he doesn't drive stupid jeeps
To me whats crazy to see is you guys completing this after nobody has gone through it for years and that there is people living there, so much history and stories to be told about those abandoned homesteads, cars and whatnot. Anyways this was a crazy adventure to watch I felt anxious for you guys and I was just watching through a screen, great work on editing, exploring and everything just fantastic.
Thank you!
@@TheStoryTillNow, Now, if you now if You could just go back a find a Bypass for the 1 Knarley Section where that white Gladiator was starting to slide off the hill and map it,than Maybe I could get my Future Teardrop/Squaredrop trailer down that Trail! Please 🤔😢🇺🇸
Braun is a beast, and you guys are true trailblazers. Amazing job you guys. What a journey, you'll remember that for a lifetime. Congratulations 👏
This is the first video from this channel I watched and I’m hooked. Superb videography and the drone footage makes it even more captivating. Very well done guys!
Cheers!
@@TheStoryTillNow what drone are you guys using? It’s incredible.
Yup same here, it's been a joy to watch after my shift. Incredible work.
I am picturing Braun - with a cigarette - dangling from his mouth saying; “hold onto your butts” at every major obstacle.
I know im parroting what everyone is saying.. but damn man, this is the best production value on YT. Music, camera angles, storyline.. you are killing it! Love it! Thanks for the great content!
Wow teddy absolutely wimped out but was saved by Alpha Braun. Love it lol
Wasn't the first time. Won't be the last. I'm way out of my league most of the time wheeling with these guys. It's the only way to get better. Had a moment. Got through it. Finished the trial. 💪
I'm too old to even think about an overlanding trail this serious. Thank you for allowing me to see this great trail through your eyes. I'll stick to running Moab rocks and easy Colorado trials. I know my limitations and respect where and what my Jeep can conquer without breaking something on this 72-year-old "Crawlpaw".
Same here, old legs, heart and lungs have me pretty lacking in physical abilities anymore. Sliding on the 25* off camber part would have given my serious chest pain. Very well done guys, best "overlanding" video on YT,
@@madcratebuilderthanks for helping run in the trails that we all use today old timer, we appreciate you
What a mission holy f***! Best adventure by far. Also, please bring Braun more often. The dude's so chill just smoking and chugging along on the trail. What an animal!
I can honestly say I felt for teddy on the ridge side. Poor guy was terrified, and for good reason. Good on you guys for keeping calm and getting through it.
The old burn you drove through at the 30 min mark is from 2014. I flew the initial attack crew in from the PG side and a Buddy flew in from the Quesnel side. We were overwhelmed by the fire behaviour and had no hope. It burned most of the summer and we were Last off in early Sept. Would love to do the trail, Thanks for sharing an awesome adventure.
That was one heck of an endurance journey. And Braun. The man never met a smoke break he didn’t take. 🤣
😂
Braun is “that guy” that we all hope is around if the trail goes kinetic! Much respect😎👍
Smoke break!? Just smoke n’ work!
I know the frustrations all to well with Teddy's issue sliding off the road. Lol. All that frustration creates tighter bonds.
lol i hate your comment but gave it the thumbs up because you're right. lol Cheers -Teddy
Braun is the definition of a man's man
INSANE!! I was hooked man! Also as some of the comments say Braun is not only the person you'd want with you through any trail but also through anything in life! His experience and his will makes him an awesome person and an invaluable friend. This trail was punishing but shot out to Teddy for hanging in there. Extremely tough trail that I would not recommend to any novice off roader. You guys need an award of some sort for completing that trail. There is so many questions I have and so much I want to say and commend you guys but my brain is still processing it all! the scenery, the music, the danger the what if's etc. Overall amazing job!
Thank you so much. Braun and Teddy are both great friends that mean a lot to me.
honestly, these are true adventures, i really liked the back on 3. there might be tough moments but you guys are together and supporting each other. It is clear this was NOT an easy trip and it was an incredible journey. Special bonds are made like this, always keep in touch, always keep adventuring - top lads as we would say in England
Frick yeah you guys. I have seen this channel recommended a bunch the last few months on my channel, and I am stoked I had the chance to watch this video. Thoroughly enjoyed start to finish, and what an accomplishment. I grew up in Williams Lake, so I have heard a lot about this trail, but it was so cool to see how you managed it, and managed it so well. Congratulations gentlemen! Also, I am wildly impressed with Braun, friggin guy did the entire trail without putting out a cigarette. hats off to my guy, they dont make em like that anymore.
Thanks Dustin! Big fan of your channel. Hope we get to cross paths sometime.
Respect a dude thats shredding trails in a 25+ year old rig. Everybody wants to be a wheeler until the time comes when your butt puckers up.😂
This channel is extremely underrated, this video was beautiful, the visuals were stunning, it flowed really good, and I was captivated the whole way through. I'm pretty new to your channel and this video showed up in my recommended, after seeing the quality of this video, I was amazed to find out this channel doesn't have millions of subs! If you keep putting out these movie long, very well produced videos every once in a while (although I assume this must take forever to make), I'm sure the views will keep coming in. Either way you should be proud of this video, I really enjoyed it :)
I rarely have the patience to watch even my favorite KZheadrs anymore and roll my eyes at the like, comment and subscribe intro to so many people's videos but this content made me do just that. Amazing! Very inspirational and motivational for me personally to tackle some more challenging trails in the future!
Cheers
Thank you so much for taking us with you on this trip. It felt like I was watching a movie in the cinema. The editing was perfect, and the drone shots made the feeling even more realistic.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You guys rock! Fantastic production including the camera work, music, and the super drone footage. Very few people get a chance to experience this kind of adventure and thank you for the huge effort in sharing it with us. I felt like I was with you every step of the way!
Thank you!
Glad you wrapped this up into a movie. Great scenery, great editing, great adventure - I'm jealous
Here for the video, staying for the "Teddy's a wimp" comments by people who have never done anything like this 😏Thanks for such an incredible trip and experience! You absolutely nailed this video, organizing the trip, and making sure we completed it. I definitely came out of this a different person when it comes to off roading / overlanding. Thanks Shaun and Braun!
teddy I've been in that situation before only I had no winch at the time. social I know exactly what you were thinking. RESPECT buddy✌.
@@jasonh4167 that's insane! I'd leave the truck there. Walk home. 😂
Definitely not a trail for the wimp hearted 😂😂😂, now for reals , that was one of the hardest off road trails ever filmed, "wimp or not" I for one will have it difficult time, just with the bugs alone, used to jungle bugs that could drive the sanest guy mad.
Most people don't realise camera doesn't give justice to an incline like this. It's almost always worst IRL.
Haha just won’t let this one die eh 😂
Braun ‘s the man !! He needs his own show !!!
This was probably the longest video I’ve watch on KZhead and you managed to amaze me and keep me entertained! Wonderful video
Wow, thank you!
Poor Toyota gettin held up by Jeeps
That's a constant issue anywhere I go. Always waiting on a jeep...
Toyota driver complaining up a train wreck of a storm
But Toyota 4×4 is better than a jeep
I’m actually impressed how well those 2 Rams did on the trail
I don’t know I like my 1976 cj5 second gear 4 low and let it rip.
I'm sure someone has already said this, that was an old mower that could be pulled behind horses or a tractor. I used one to cut the grass out of ditches when I lived in Nebraska. You all are so blessed to be able to do this, I imagine like me there are many who live this thru your videos. Keep on keepin on
Someone commented that his family actually had grazing rights to that area from the 60's to the 80's, and that it was a horse drawn mower that one of his father's workers got stuck in the mud up to the axle, and it got left there. Insane the level of connection you find on the internet.
That was amazing guys, well done! Gives me an idea too. Back in my 4x4 days on Vancouver Island it was rumoured that a person could, in theory, drive from one top of the island to the other using only old logging roads. Dunno if it’s ever been done. But if anyone could do it… I think we know who could put a team together 😃
Well just sat and watched the whole trip along the Mackenzie trail . Totally blown away by the sheer beauty completely untouched wilderness . Yes there are empty buildings , abandoned vehicles etc . Still a wilderness . The fact you three guys did it unassisted is massive . The support you have for each other really shines through . Would I like to do that trip mmmm yes please .
Thanks!
Hey Shaun you are more than welcome . I run a bog standard Jeep here in the uk . It’s a lot of fun I can tell you . Biggest upside it has the coldest Aircon of anything I’ve owned . Keep on posting great content I’ll keep watching .
I appreciate you
We watched it again last night, and the amount of team work that went into this for you 3 is beyond amazing. It would be nice if more people came up from the states to wheel with you.
I dont have words to appreciate your guts and enthusiasm to finally complete the mecansie trails. Simply mind blowing ..appreciate your friends too for being with you till the end
Guts? They’re driving a off road vehicle how tough is it? Lol what a joke
@@scottfrost8956 guess you have already covered that trail...
@@scottfrost8956 ya man, our off road vehicles even have built in chainsaws and clear the trail as we go. You're a joke.
Great film guys! Amazing filming and information about this wonderful trip. Some sketchy times for sure, but y'all made it through it no problem! Thanks for sharing!
Hey there, this video was truly amazing! I just wanted to highlight Braun's unique character-his signature cigar while fearlessly tackling a tree with his loyal dog by his side. He'd be the perfect protagonist in a zombie movie. It's truly remarkable to witness someone who just takes action. Thanks once again for sharing this incredible experience with us!
Now that is called an adventure man, you guys went through a lot to finish this adventure. Great job guys!! And omg that down Hill Road crossing is scary though.
Love seeing a longer cut of this - thanks for sharing. Gonna say it again - always trust your (experienced and knowledgeable) spotter!
Why is the algorithm just recommended this channel, real men, doing real things and driving real vehicles
finally got time to watch all the way through! What an Epic Amazing trek! Gotta admire the entire production, from start to finish! Watching how you truly care about everyone, is a big plus in my book. Braun and the older Yota were a great asset and even with the little bearing, it added to the adventure! All about overcoming obstacles! I'm surprised Teddy has a manual trans. Auto makes it easier but they both have advantages. Really Appreciate that you choose tasteful music, and don't blast it! also you don't chatter too much! All around great video, thank you guys for taking us with you on this trip! Shaun, please keep doing these when you can!
Congats Sean and gang, on completing this epic adventure. I watched the original video, but had no idea it got that sketchy! Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of that!
Awesome 🔥🔥 This is a great example of trail ingenuity, and also how everything is 10x harder in the dark
Great adventure. I'm always blown away by your videos, you capture the scenes so well and it shows how vast the area is, and how amazing nature can be. Thanks for sharing this epic adventure!!
This channel is extremely underrated, this video was beautiful, the visuals were stunning
You guys are so lucky to be able to do something like this! And though you may not realize it now, these memories will stay with you for the rest of your lives. Envious, but happy for you, in TN.👍💯🤘
That "tractor" was an old McCormick hay cutter implement for cutting hay/straw fields to be bailed later.
Yep. Horse drawn sickle bar mower.
Gotta love guys with 100k rigs not listening to the guy with an 8k rig who knows what he's doing.😂
Really solid content and very well produced. Stumbled across this by accident and within 2 min I knew I had to subscribe. Keep up the great work, man!
I didn’t want this to end.. incredible video, you guys are awesome. Thank you!!
The problem with this video is that it ends. Congratulations on the great memories you have made. And many thanks for sharing
Cheers
Love the come & take it shirt! Also, its so cool seeing the old 4Runner keeping up with the new Gladiators!
Dude didn't stop smoking the whole trip 😂
I hope to do this trail one day! What a awesome adventure to live and tell to others. Awesome job on all the recording as well!
I have really bad ADD (Makes it really hard for me to pay attention to something for a while) and I was so entertained I watched the whole video without looking away or checking my phone. Really great content and cinematography skills!! I also LOVE how you are not extra dramatic about anything. A lot of creators over dramatize everything to make it seem entertaining, but you don't need to. So, thank you for a great video! Really makes me feel like I just watched a good movie. Be safe, and God bless.
Wow! Talk about an adventure… definitely out of the comfort zone.. thanks for sharing.. because I am sure recording the whole event was a challenge in itself.. oh and you have a great tribe of buddies there.. hoorah to them .
Bravo Zulu, friends! I was stressed just watching all the challenges you faced and overcame. The videos on this channel that I have seen so far have been great, but this is one heck of an adventure. Such great story-telling!!! Thanks for bringing us along on your adventure and congratulations on finishing the trail.
Thanks!
Great videography and storytelling on this epic trip. Bravo. 🙌🏼
I think this video has been a spark of inspiration for me to take up an overland adventure some day! Love this composition: from the scenery, to the cinematic b-roll shots, to the background music, and even the different perspective visuals between you and Teddy! Job well done with this video and most importantly, the trek thru the Mackenzie! I’ve got NO choice but to subscribe to the channel now! 🤝👌
Thanks!
Braun is the most valuable member of the team. Do not piss Braun! Braun is such a MAN'S name, and Braun earns it!
Edge of my seat to see if you all made through the black water crossing. You guys did like it was nothing.. 😅 35:00 you returned the canoe ❤️ really exciting trip to watch so far. I have never been on a trip like this so for me it’s all new and interesting. The running out of gas possibility is scary! RIP Ernie. That was some of the most potent nightmare fuel on that edge road. 😱🫣 So glad I watched the whole thing. What an amazing trip. So happy you all made it out in one piece. What a testimony to great friendship and a sense of adventure. Thank you for sharing it. YT recommended it to me and I subbed.
As fun as this looks seeing all the struggles is the reason why i enjoy moto camping more. Other than being exposed to the elements 200x quicker to get places
It's about the adventure. Not saving time! This is not a job! :D
Braun is the staple that kept the team a float Great content Shaun keep up the awesome work truly inspiring!!!!!🎉
Braun is like one of those crazy mechanics (i mean that in a good way) that can build or fix just about anything. Tons of practical knowledge and ability.
When I first saw his rig with the homemade snorkel. My first thought was, "This is the dude that's going to be the MacGyver of the trip and be able to guide and fix anything." I could definitely relate to him saying he was beat at the end. Old leaf spring vehicles are brutal on the bumpy trails, when you're trying to keep up with the more modern 4-link rigs.
@@willofthemaker not is like.....is LOL
@@The_Samsquantch I don't think they would have completed the trail without him. They relied on his knowledge and skills heavily throughout the trip. If not for him (or someone else equally fit, which is a high bar), at some point they undoubtedly would have decided to turn back and/or gotten stuck or hurt. Braun seems like a prickly fella but that's the kind of guy you need to do something like this.
Always listen to the guy with the tallest tippiest truck that got through the obstacle first. Especially when he clearly designed, modified and built his rig and has been wheeling it for ages. That's who you want along on a trip like this. When he's spotting, don't argue. Especially when all the driver can see is his hood and his legit concern is making a wall of anxiety.
I think you need to watch that alert again and actually listen.
I would love to see a video of all the required maintenance after a trip like this. An adventure isn't done until the clean up is.
My truck only had a bent sway bar link. Braun’s truck I think is still broken from this trip. Teddy broke everything and traded it in. 😂
Epic. Just absolutely epic. Incredible video. Thanks for taking us along on the journey guys. 😎
That truck and cross is haunting
I've been watching Off-Road Adventure for a year now. Recently I watched the owner of FSR Autoworks and he said there are some trails like BUWIS BUHAY TRAIL (Tagalog word - Philippines), what he means is THE TRAIL & ADVENTURE MAY COST YOUR OWN LIFE. I didn't believe right away because I'm no Off-roader & based on the previous video I watched, seems not, but after watching this, yeah, I'm convince now that there are some trails that totally dangerous. Thank you for sharing this! Keep safe, always have fun and more power to you guys...😊💪👍
buddy havin a darty party the whole time looks right out of sunnyvale
Lets go - smokes!
DAMN WHAT A SERIOUSLY EPIC ADVENTURE!! You guy’s did an AWESOME 👏 JOB!!
People head across the globe spending close to what a DIY overland rig would cost in search of a life changing experience just to wind up with a sterile, catered, sheltered trip that net results in some photos that 1000's of travellers have repeated the exact same scene on Instagram. You guys SHARED a real challenge pushing yourselves and pulling your friends when needed through an amazing trip that I can guarantee very few people will ever the opportunity to experience.
Thank you
What a truely beautiful video/experience you guys have shared, really amazing to see and not to mention extremely inspiring, thank you.
Thank you KZhead for recommending this video for me. What a masterpiece of filmmaking. Well done and congrats on completing the trail 👏
Thanks!
This is what it’s all about. Adventure at its finest with good friends. ❤
Yep from the Philippines here, new subscriber, i love to see your vid. Even if i dont have one but still inspiring. The views the scene the icy road i love it, it relaxing hope you make it some of this.
Absolute carnage and i love every minute of it. Love that you guys are filming the wheeling part that no one else includes in their videos
This is the first time ive watched your videos or your channel. I have got to say that was bloody brilliant.. I had to watch it over several days due to work and family life and couldn't wait to come home this evening and finish it off. Awesome work guys, great video thanks for sharing that experience. You have gained another subscriber 👍
Thanks!
As an Alaska off-roader. Those trails are cake!
Your videos are awesome - the pics and videos and your commentaries are the best i have seen in all the clips i watch. Thanks so much for sharing!
Fantastic video, and epic journey! Thanks for taking us along for the adventure. BTW, are you gents using GMRS radios? I took note that your comms were solid all the way through😎👍
Damn that was a good video. I swear you have some of the best editing I've ever seen. The angles the scenery the views. That are epic. Please do not stop doing what you do. You are an inspiration.
Thank you
Awesome Braun in a SAS 22re 4Runner is killing it w/$100k Gladiators in tow. ❤ content. Pretty sure we need more Braun.
Weird, they found a Toyota guy who wanted to show around some city slickers in their financed $100k jeeps, that’s not how it usually goes around here
@@stevejones6647 im not rasist when it comes to make or model lol
@@stevejones6647 Whats the vintage of that 4runner...around 1991. 30 plus year rig. I wonder if those jeeps will still be going after 30 plus years? lol
Epic adventure! Really enjoyed the comradery and how you guys all helped each other out.
You really know how to tell the story. A great mix of everything to keep us watching. Not too rushed and not too slow.
I always find it interesting seeing American off-road vids, being from Australia. Almost every 4x4 I see in my country has a snorkel. It's commonly a factory option on Toyotas etc. A lot more confidence when encountering a river crossing.
Unfortunately we don't get those in the US or the little diesel engines and alot of the solid axle stuff toyota makes we don't get either, it sucks and it's why folks buy alot of jeeps
I wish we had easier access to the Toyota models available overseas.
If I can offer up a piece of advice for future travellers....wait until late late summer....early autumn before making your attempt at the trail. The water in the rivers will be much lower and the bugs will be much less intense as well.
Where's the fun in that??
Unbelievable stuff right here! I was completely hooked 30 seconds in. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this journey. And Braun is definitely one cool cat! Great job, guys. Excellent content. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent video. Realistic. No posers. The guy with the cigarette is a no-nonsense, relatable Dude.
that piece of equipment that you guys found is called a sickle mower That long piece would have blades that moved back in forth to cut grass.
Great Video!! That wasn't a tractor or a grader but it was a sickle bar mower you towed behind a tractor or horses!
1930's =horse my grandpa had one on the farm when I was a Lil squirt.
mahn this was wild and was soothing to watch! I cannot appreciate more in ur cinematics and musicality! always a pleasure to watch your stuff mahn! Kudos!
Anyone else notice the cross lying down on that sketchy part of the trail at 43:32
Props to Braun for changing a 4runner wheel bearing out on the trail, he must know that truck really well. Took me like a whole 2 weeks to do both my rear wheel bearing on my 3rd gen 4runner.
Honestly bros the goat
