Stranded in -42 F/-41C in my Old Ford Truck on a Truck Camping 2,000 mile Drive to the Arctic Ocean

Couple of suggestions here from a former Canadian logger ; In this kind of cold you DEFINITLY need to keep it running ALL the time, this allows a certain amount of fuel to be warmed and returned back to the tank, this keeps the rest of the fuel in the tank warm! In cold weather we would cover the machines in a Army surplus parachute with a kerosene heater inside, it inflates from the heat inside and keeps the machines and the everything underneath it above freezing even in -40 degree weather!! Also think about getting some battery warmers, this really helps the batteries have full power even in cold weather. Thanks for the fun adventures, stay safe and keep that camera rolling, best of luck !!!

We’ll be watching you Tim! Love Mom & Mary Charles. 💘

I am 71 yrs old and have altitude sickness. I could never go where you are at and see all that you see! Thank you so much for sharing!

Dude, I’m from Russia, a big fan of your channel! It’s very cold out here too. So, I fully admire your character and your sturdy will, since I deal with tough weather constantly. It takes balls! Your community is also cool , very helpful people. God bless ❤

Hey Tim, not sure if you'll see this, but want to let you know how much these vids mean to me. I'm an older guy who works at home staring at spreadsheets and numbers all day. I love to run your vids on the side and live vicariously through your adventures. Really appreciate your quality work here. Watching these while I'm working makes the day a lot better and I hope you have a lot more adventures to come. Thanks!

You have some incredible friends. So blessed.

100% shout out to your people that came to help restores my faith in humanity

I always say you can't go wrong with travel. Even a bad trip makes for a great story.

His friends’ neighbor is so real for helping you so much. What a cool guy

My Uncle has been a Mechanic in Fairbanks for about 40 years. He tell's me -40F is the magic number when shit exponentially breaks. Hoses, Belts, flat spots on the tires. As you learned the hard way, don't turn off a Diesel. When it hit's -40F the wreckers are lined up his garage.

Hey…I’ve had this issue. When it’s -40, the engine oil is so thick that the oil sump pump can’t provide oil pressure to the injection system. The engine oil is used to run the diesel fuel injection pump to get it up to pressure to break open the injectors. The simple answer is to put a sunflower heater under the oil pan and warm up the engine oil hence providing the oil needed to run injection pump. Had this happen to me on lake at negative-38 below ambient temperature. Also the International rep stated this is called oil cavitation as the engine oil is so thick ! It usually took about 20 minutes to warm oil enough to cause it to flow again. Be careful you don’t burn up the truck, highly recommend to watch it while warming up oil. This was a fault with this type of injection system and I believed it was called hui. Wild Bill

My Daughter just brought me home a Ukulele because I've been watching you and Matt, and it revived my love of Ukulele. Now I just need refresher lessons.

It doesn't matter that I'm 4000 miles away sitting in a recliner while its 65 degrees outside... Watching these videos sometimes still makes me anxious for you cause I know I would be in major trouble if I was in your shoes lol. It's truly amazing how you stay so calm regardless of the situation! That is a real gift.

Minus twelve degrees pumping diesel in a short sleeve shirt, gotta love these Alaskans.

40 year Canadian field geologist here. I run electric battery blankets and an OEM block heater in cold weather. A good back up is a tiger torch/weed burner, a 20lb tank of propane and a 5 gal galvanized steel bucket. If you're frozen up, place the bucket under your oil pan, fire up the torch and put it in the bucket to heat up your oil pan and block. You have to keep a close watch on it and have a thawed fire extinguisher close by. As long as it's not very windy it'll heat up your engine compartment quickly.

Got a truck from the Alaska oil field...A F350 crew cab... It had 2 block heaters, heating pad on the transmission, pad on the oil pan.. pads under both batteries...An extra cab heater behind back seat.. a rpm controller that would raise the rpm's to 1600 to keep the cap warm... and finally all the cap heater hoses was insulated.... Excellent truck for Montana winters...

Be safe and don't die for epic content!

Geez… Mr. Timmy you’re the epitome of calmness!

You’re blessed to be surrounded by such good people. That chili looked really good, especially from a can. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

That’s what I call a good friend. -40 degrees and helping you with your truck.
