World’s Most Dangerous Roads | The Canadian Ice Roads (2015)
World’s Most Dangerous Roads - China - The Sichuan-Tibet Highway: • World’s Most Dangerous...
The Canadian ice roads exist only for a few months in the winter when the ice is thick enough. The only time of the year when goods can be transported up to Northern Manitoba. We accompany the truckers Vlad and Hugh as well as the aboriginal Canadian Scott with his pick-up on their long journey to a village called God’s Lake. A risky trip in icy temperatures, sometimes even below - 60 degrees Celcius.
The men are in constant danger of getting stuck and need to forget everything they ever learnt about driving on a highway in order to arrive safely.

Good documentary
Thank you so much for your good and hard work. This is an interesting documentary video as I've seen another video about the dangerous roads in Peru.
Respect for your team hard works 🙏🙏
Keep up this fantastic job. Just left me speechless. Thank you, hats off to the team !!!!!!!
This documentary is more valuable and thorough than the "ICE ROAD MOVIE," and we praise the free documentary Team for the hard work they made for us.
I still can't believe these are free. In today's online world everyone is putting content behind pay walls and monthly subscriptions, but this channel is special
@@rct3nut74 hey don’t forget they’re getting pay 💰 big bucks!! Through the ads this channels make millions a year just for posting videos here
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ not a man ! {John 12:43} KJV For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. {Psalms 135:3} KJV Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.
@@countthenumberministry8776 Sod off!
i watch that movie and i think the story of the 2 brother are sad. because i have brother just like that
I love these free documentaries, they could easily put these behind a pay wall. But here they are, on KZhead for free. And they are high quality as well, the makers travel around the world telling all manner of stories. Thank you for making these documentaries!
Living in Canada and riding past these trucks on my motorcycle, I look at them and say- wow nice earnings for just cruising a heavy haul on the highways- then it strikes me they do the same during winters. These ice-road truckers are supermen, and mighty respect to them and every single individual who work towards keep the routes operational.
Ice thickness get checked everyday by the government inspectors. They use a factor of 1.5 times required thickness for the maximum allowable weight. The inspectors drive these ice roads everyday. Everyone stop and help each other. It’s not that scary. It’s actually a very relaxing drive.
Do the guys leave the truck idling the entire night
@@rydellbaptiste8644 Anything below -45c, we will keep our vehicle running all night. We have a slip tank that hold 500 litre of fuel at any given time.
Wrong, it scared me and I was very experienced driver.
@@shelleykentner4900 if someone's sharing their perspective, they aren't wrong. you just don't agree. are you like 10 years old?
@@orangeradishneo hahaha nice one
My Mother is both a Residential School survivor and Day School survivor..... Thank You for the respect of acknowledgment....
Thanks for all these "dangerous roads" documentaries. We all look forward to these docs.
Love it. Much better than the show with bs drama
Same
Normalmente i don't like people who say "we all look...." But with this your totally right. Almost all the docs from those guys are really nice to watch
@@ozzy7804 super excellent docs
Took me a minute to realize this wasn't a episode of ice road truckers lol
Where is Lisa? 😄😄😄
Ha. ha. ha. That was so funny........Can you see my sarcasm? Cornball
It's way better. Not all that high stress narration and repetition. This has a gentler, more realistic pace.
@CORNell OVERflOATER I don't think he realized I was being sarcastic
@@annakeye oh I know I was just being sarcastic I like this better than the ice road truckers anyways
I’ve travelled these roads, they give you a perspective on how vast the north is. It’s beautiful, humbling, and dangerous. Truly a wild and lonely place.
my father is a truck driver, he always tell me his driving story journey....now when i miss him, ill watch truck driver story on youtube...i miss u old man!😭❤
To ALL Truck Drivers: Thank you for your work! Many people do appreciate it. I'm one of them. Many thanks Guys!
This doc is so cool. Years ago I used travel these ice roads. 99% of people in this province never get to see the beauty of the northern communities, people and ice roads. Had a few close calls, but always got a hand or pull out of the "ditches" from passers by. One of my favorite times/jobs ever. Miss my time on the ice. Excellent doc!
Could you help me to get some job as a driver I m from India
@@tftv5907 you sure wanna drive there over ice roads? I would love to see an Indian in these cold climates
Imagine a temperature of -50 degree. In Kenya at positive 16 we cry that its too cold. Such a temperature can make our entire country population extinct.
Good thing about cold is that you can gear up for it and wear protective clothing. If its 40+ C outside the only thing you can do is endure it.
same way it can get too hot for them here
@@jamyw True. The bad thing with cold is that it can kill unprotected person in 15 minutes.
@@chadfriesen5267 is that celcius?
@@Priest92 we've been suffering the worst cold in SA lows being 10°c and highs only about 17°c......
41:20 "...it only got down to -6, that's too warm..." a combination of words I never thought I'd ever hear spoken out loud with a straight face!
I'm from the Philippines and never have opportunity to leave my country, especially places with snow. I know snow only from Christmas cards way back in the 70's. Hence, never thought snow, especially travelling on them, can be as challenging. Good done documentary. I thought the movie Ice Roads is fictional. But after seeing this?
As a driver myself i can say that These drivers are the real deal.
One of the most dangerous jobs in the world, hats off to these guys, great doc!
you have not seen the other docs, this is luxury driving
Yes..they have the cold n ice to deal with and dangers:but a lot of other skilled lorry drivers. If you let theses drivers loose around London streets,delivering food etc..they be lost ,u need real driving skills to negotiate the really tight narrow roads...and delivery points. Plus having to have eyes up your butt for so many people ,cars and other obstacles in the way. They are tough men ..but they mainly drive in straight lines.
So PROUD OF OUR INDIGENOUS PEOPLE!!!
For drinking and taking government aid 🤣
for whining and complaining ?
✊🏼 Freedom convoy. Supporting our Canadian brothers and sisters from the USA. 👍🏼
This Canadian Ice Roads Documentary is very intriguing to watch. The World's Most Dangerous Roads FD has a knack of keeping us, the viewer glued to the screen. Your team has a way of gaining the trust of the locals, that gives us a much deeper understanding of the day to day struggles that most of us will never experience. I can only imagine the courage and the bravery of those who earn a living on these Ice Roads. Thanks for taking us on this wonderful journey of man vs the elements.
I love these series so much thanks for uploading the previous footages. After I play SnowRunner I become super addicted to snow trucks and transportations, and after seeing these videos make me aware the fact that there are people on Earth actually living in such lifestyle.
These drivers are the most disciplined drivers on the road. They value life.
I've been down the Ice road 4 years straight...this doc is a joke.
@@robbalinski1606 Agreed... but if it were true to life every viewer would be bored 😴 after 10 minutes.
@@robbalinski1606 oh. I guess I just like the idea that there are many disciplined drivers are still ot there. because here in the south, you rarely see one and if there are one they still kind of blend. There are many reasonable drivers but countless are idiots.
@@robbalinski1606 Can't tell them the truth, we would end up with the Thompson scale lady all over our case.
I love Canada so much, especially the town of Montreal, where I've spent four years of my life. It was a fruitful period in my life. Many thanks, Canada!!!
Why did u live since you liked it soo much
Montreals the only city I’ve been mugged in 😂
@@tweezerjam do tell!
@@fafadfasfa - i was 18 and a student at uvm. Two carloads of us spent a weekend there. The first night we went clubbing and four of us ended up wasted, lost in the rain at 4am (way before uber- this was 1998). We stopped and asked two guys where our hotel was and instead of getting directions we got mugged. I had spent all my cash so they threw my wallet back at me but ended up taking a few hundred bucks from my friends. They actually pulled knives on us but we cooperated, as we were understandably scared af. What was also weird was they were speaking in french! 😂I don’t remember how we finally got back to our room but it was like 5am. I’ve never been back! 😂
@@tweezerjam Typical frenchies lol. I've gotten in many fights with fellow francophones here for some reason I think we just like fighting. Next time you're too drunk have a poutine you'll feel better
Watching after 20mins from India 🇮🇳🙏,,, beautiful documentary.. good work free documenty,,we love your work...
Thank you so much!
"World’s Most Dangerous Roads" Is a 2011 TV series , they are reruns they did not make them.
I had an uncle who used to drive the Ice roads out of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan al the way out to a place called Rabbit Lake and Pat Lake in North Saskatchewan for the uranium mines. Brutal, and scary work. He lost a few close friends on those long frozen roads. It was not unheard of for it to be a week before the next truck would drive up along the road and no one ever heard of a satellite phone back in the 1970s and 1980s. Not even a satellite pager or distress beacon. When your truck broke down or got stuck, it was a death sentence. Driving in a small convoy was the only way to insure safety
Sounds scary, I'm guessing he was delivering to Uranium City, that's far!
Back then Truck convoys with a Pilot/Mechanic Truck would usually be the norm , No one other then a complete Idiot , or a really desperate driver would go solo , and most of those are Dead now.
I was born and raised in Winnipeg. This brings back a lot of memories for me.
What was in that pipe they were smoking? Do you know?
In the summer your official bird is the mosquitoe 🦟 🇨🇦👍
You’re lucky bro
@@Psybo it's tobacco.
winnipeg best big city in canada so cold i love it here lived here my whole life!!!
Much respect for the Ice Road Truckers!!!!
The calmness of these men in the documentary is really soothing and impressive
@@chadfriesen5267 How do people deal with the slippery roads? What kind of tires do we need?
we thank all the participant of the ice road of Canada the experience they shared from the bottoms of their heart
My addiction..here we go...thank you free documentary for uploading..,,
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching!
Fabulous documentary. We learned how people live and lived before the ice roads, enjoyed pristine scenery and nail nawed through the heroic travels.
//em//.
I live in NW Ontario Canada and I’ve driven on the ice roads a few times and it’s extremely unnerving to hear the ice crackle beneath you as drive!! I’ve also met ‘the polar bear’ on his way through our community and he’s a great guy.
So long as the ice is cracking, all is good, when it isn't making noise, time to be extra careful.
It truly takes a courageous and special breed to do a job like this.
Well. One day AI autonomous driving will replace all these dangerous trucking jobs.
What a pleasure to listen to the narrator's voice.
These guys are so brave working and living in such insane conditions 🙆🏻♀️ Me from Los Angeles lol 😂 Respect ✊🏽
I lived in Maine a friend asked Me if I be willing to haul some loads in Canada. Said sure didn't know it was over ice road so so stressful I tried it did a season with him no joke . Glad I was able to do it . Took a load of Groceries to a small town it was wild how thankful they were to me.looked like everyone in town can out to help unload the truck .
I used to watch ice road truckers every week..
Thank you for this new upload. I'm always curious, looking forward to the next episode of the Deadliest Roads/Dangerous roads series. I miss the wonderful humorous narrator of the previous Deadliest Roads series. Much love from Kenya 🇰🇪.
Hats Off To All Who made this Documentary Possible..
I live in Northern Manitoba so it is really interesting stumbling across this and seeing how they convey both the land and the people. I am still watching this as I write the comment but this is really well done!
@Train 2noplace After watching all of it, there absolutely is some dramatization.. I'll give some quick thoughts on things said throughout the documentary and you're free to ask questions. I am not a trucker so I am probably not the best person to ask about the specifics of that. But Northern Manitoba is a very sparely populated harsh climate. Temperatures generally range from -30 to -40 C in the winters, and with windchill hit -50c or lower multiple times a year. So if you arnt prepared then you'd absolutely could end up in a life or death situation. But with that said anyone living or working here WOULD be prepared and know what they are doing. It's livable if you take the proper precautions (evidenced by the people who DO live here full time). Some ice roads also exist for much longer than a few weeks. Being properly dressed and prepared can make a huge difference. A lot of these communities that have ice roads also have small airports which could be used, so to say they are completely dependant on the truckers in the winter is dramatized. However having the truckers go in is very good for the communities, as you can ship so much more via truck than a small plane. But if needed, then these communities could get stuff flown in as they do in the summer. To say that EVERY community is 100 percent dependant off state assistance is a generalization. Some reserves have more resources than others, and some manage their resources better than others. However infrastructure as a whole is lacking, the people live in poverty compared to the rest of Canada, drugs and alcohol are a major issue which they are trying to get under control to the best of their ability. This is directly related to past treatment of the native peoples of Canada as referenced at 14:00 , where they were stolen from their communities by the Canadian RCMP, put into Catholic residential schools where they would be beaten and treated so poorly that in some the death toll was over half of the children taken there. This only stopped in 1996 and so the effects are still felt today. I bring this up because this actually is a common experience for many of the peoples here and not dramatized in the documentary, just not much was said about it. I also feel like truckers probably don't actually get stuck as frequently as they did in this documentary. To say it doesn't happen would be wrong but I do feel it happened abit more than normal in the video. Comments like "metal breaks in half at -40" is only true of some forms of metal - forms that I don't imagine you would use in a truck made for this climate. This comment is long enough so i'll leave it at this for now!
Amazing documentary as always ❄️
Ah! What an intense episode it was, we humans adapt to the situations no matter what, the struggle never leaves and maybe that's what it is, which keeps us going.
//em//¡//.
You are our Canadian heroes! Living up north of us southern Ontario. You are the true Canucks!!🇨🇦🇨🇦🙏❤️❤️🔥
Every one of these "Most Dangerous Roads" documentaries are masterpieces! Astonishingly great cinematography, production, editing....commentary. My life has changed for the better - I appreciate how people overcome hardship more now, and I am both humbled and better informed. Thank you more than I can rightfully express. 👏🏻💝
They do a fantastic job getting across the ice roads. I would not want to be a truckie on my own in the dead of night, pretty scary!! Thank you so much for the upload.
Thank you for sharing this rare video 👍🏻. The scariest thing is when your vehicle slides. Driving in winter is no joke, it freaks me out sometimes.
Semua ai tau
Very much respect to the truckers, driving in these conditions with all those technicalities. Respect
such weathers one has to care for your co passenger, in this case another truck driver.
I sometimes forget I’m watching on KZhead lol 😂 got to love this
Let's go!!! Was wanting another one of these!
My uncle worked for Purvis, a company that built ships and he went up the McKenzie River road right up to Tuk he hauled portable oxygen/gas units plus ship parts. He had to add extra heaters to his truck cabin. just to stay warm.
I live in tropical Trinidad & Tobago. I can't begin to imagine this cold ! Respect to all.
To be honest, compared to some of these dangerous roads documentary's this is like a Sunday drive.
Finally it's here. I have been waiting for you to upload Dangerous Roads videos
Them dogs are amazing. They can keep going up to a 100km with out taking a break.... Even some cars have to stop that much to get gas... Unbelievable.
Those dogs all die before reaching natural old ages.
@@TrySomeFentanyl ah, but it was a good death.
Thanks, this is a great virtual 'chilling' experience, watching ice tours of multiple truckers simultaneously. Excellent picture and narration. In south India, we generally never experience temperatures below 25 Celsius, unless in few high-range tourist spots, no need to mention about ice.
Hue was my favorite driver on the show ice road truckers for sure. He is a beast. Fearless for sure.
Thanks for blessing my Sunday..... Greatly appreciated guys.

I have a long time interest in the ice road trucking and I did watched the reality show some times. Thanks for this video documentary.
I emigrated to my lovely new home in 2017,i wish I could find travel buddy to discover northern Canada.
@@chadfriesen5267 let's go :-> I live in Northern Ontario.
i know northern Manitoba you should be careful if ya go up north
What an amazing journey….used to love watching the Ice Road Truckers series…..
I have watched a wave on a suspension bridge as a heavy load drove across it. Nice that the ice is able to bend before it breaks.
Canada, France & Portgual are GEMS on Earth💯
France is a stinky gem
Love these cold winter documentaries
Really enjoyed this one. Especially for including some historical information on the First Nations people and aspects of their culture.
This was a good episode. I get nervous for them when they talk about the lake that turned into a road and they can only use that route during the Winter. I don't know if I would be brave enough to drive on a frozen lake. More power to them and I'm glad they had safe travels. These are some great episodes to thank you Free Documentary for all of your work.
it's actually more common than people realize, here in Canada! take a look at google maps with the traffic feature on someday, you might be able to tell where the permanent roads end, and just how many bodies of water we have here making roads hard to develop. There are many first nations communities up north that are fly in only communities, only reachable by land in winter.
It's really not as bad as these documentaries and ice road trucker shows make it seem. I've been on these roads every year since i was a kid, and started driving on them when i was 17. The only thing that sucks is the long hours. It once took 16 hours to get home
Also 20+ years i've never ever had an experience of ice breaking. Only time i've ever heard of a vehicle going through the ice (no fatalities) is when a vehicle breaks down on the ice during the last 2 weeks of it being driveable and the owner not being able to fix it before the ice melts. I've never heard of anyone dying by going through on the winter roads
it’s very common, in summer you see boats on lakes and in winter it’s snowmobiles. a lake that has seen enough cold days cant *not* be safe.
@@onlyamberrr9635 Same, Ive been on these up north roads since I was a kid, was kinda shook when I was younger but eventually got use to them lol
Great Canadian doc! Well done. We need more of these for sure.
I learn a lot of this channel. Best documentary I ever seen

Polar Bear!!!! Cool to hear his voice again.... miss IRC....
Good to see Hugh and Vlad are still in working hard wonder what happened the guys across from them who said they were a flash in the pan lol Keep on trucking
Still better than the miserable roads in Siberia with medieval infrastructure and 100yo trucks
Australia SEES
Those 100YO trucks must be frozen with times and keep on working as they are fresh from factory...
You've driven there?
to be honest with you its even colder in russia and you got some modern truck ive seen it in a documentary !!!
@@davidlefranc6240 It's about as equally as cold, Canada goes further North and even more remote than this documentary shows

Very interesting. Beautiful landscapes and a glimpse of people’s lives in an environment so different from our own!
It was a nice documentary.. Huge respect for the drivers....
I'm here after watching The Ice Road... thanks for posting!
The best documentary,,
You can offer whatever you wish for safe travels, but Mother Nature is holding the trump card.
The spirits are real and I do believe that when he went he was protected by the spirit of White Buffalo Calf Woman. You believe in what you want but I do no differently.
@@jeaniemarczniec7755 that very well could be a real spirit you mentioned, and probably an unclean spirit at that. The only Spirit you should want to be on good terms with is the Holy Spirit of God. If you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, that He died and rose, you will receive the Spirit of God, He will abide within your spirit, and make you a new creature.
I loved watching Ice Road Truckers. They are a different breed.
Thanks to the truckers and documentary!. You guys are badass.
I have lived North of 60 multiple times and in most of Canada if you have ever visited make sure you visit more than one spot because there is so much Beauty to take in

Nice to see what Hugh and Vlad are really like totally professional and careful drivers and nice guys.
You see a different side of them here, back when they were recording for the series Ice Road Truckers, they were made out to be nasty characters, of course it makes interesting content and makes people watch more. The IRT series outlived itself, especially after Darrel Ward was killed in an airplane accident in 2016, no more were made but the drivers still continued driving loads up and down the Ice roads. I was invited up to Polar Industries by Mark Kohaykewych back when IRT was huge. Sadly life was just way to busy which is a shame as Id have loved to have driven for Polar or any of them up there. Stay frosty!
Well put Paul I agree Richard @@Snowy1of1

I live in Manitoba and I can relate to a lot of this,
