Thought yall might enjoy this documentary that some friends of a friend of mine made about their race from Washington state to Alaska in a sail/row boat. Really well made film i think.

Hi All, I’m curious if anyone on here has experience driving to Alaska thru Canada while the border is closed. Canada currently allows it if you’re going to school, a permanent residence, or a job. The last option is what I’m wondering about specifically. I’m thinking about going wwoofing up...

When I turned 18 I hitchhiked from WA to Portland OR. After lots of soul searching I decided to go to Alaska. I stayed all around the Kenai Peninsula for almost 3 years before returning to WA. I met lots of very nice and a few not so nice folks. I worked for housing and made work connections...

Right. So, this may not count as what's typical or expected of stories in this group, but I feel it's one worth telling and I want to tell it now while it's still fresh in my mind. I quit a good factory job and sold all my shit back home to move to Alaska. I'm only here for the summer...

Enjoying and playing some music with some lovely folks...

I'm in the process of hitching the entire Alaska highway from South to North and back again, funding myself with donations, odd-jobs and scoring free shit. This is the first of my video series. I'll post more in this thread as I upload them. More coming soon, I just have to work on editing the...

I'm curious if I can get from the lower states through Canada to Alaska without a passport? I'm not planning on making the trip until sometime next year but I can't get a passport because I owe the state lots of money which I can't realistically pay anytime soon.

Now that I've been living full-time in my bus instead of just using it as a detachable bedroom and work truck, I decided to take some pictures of my set-up.

This is the first of the videos I'll be uploading about my on-going adventure rubber-tramping poor (as fuck) from Slab City to Alaska where I have tentative plans for adventure!

I know it is early Spring and the Equinox is brewing, so it is cold where I choose to be. My hope is to learn how to sail while also getting to Alaska. looking for a simple cruise with a knowledgeable boat owner. Is this you, or you know of someone?

Hey y'all. I'm heading up to Alaska in a few weeks to work as a deckhand on a boat for a bit. Never been up to Alaska- got hooked up b/c a friend fishes there. Clueless about what to bring for fall/winter. The salmon season is only for a bit longer- so I'll only be working for like a month...

I've been collaborating with members of r/Vagabond, and we've come up with the idea to hitchhike from Alaska to Argentina. However, what started out as a plan for a 2-3 person trip, quickly evolved into TONS of people wanting to join us! So hey, why limit ourselves, right? Let's all join...

I'm beginning to plan for a trip that is WAY beyond anything I have ever done. One year from now, I would like to embark on this trip. Everything between now and then will be preparation.

Alaska Highway, West Access Route, I-5 Through Washington, then 101 Through Oregon down to California, until finally breaking down on Highway 299, 40 miles out of Redding! : ) Also, where i lived in Fairbanks. Took plenty more, this is not all i have. Some Photos were taken before this long...

So stoked. The first frost in Alaska means it's time to start harvesting the rose hips. Yesterday, my friend handed me a jar and told me to smell the contents. It smelled so good. "Rose hips," he told me. Then, my flatmate did the same thing to me today. I knew I had to start gathering some...

My home Alaska, far away from it all. Mountains as far as the eyes can see, trees in every direction, and snow for those who wish for it. Some migrate north instead of south, to Alaska, where the mind is at peace. An artist might grow exponentially in their talents in such a desolate land. A man...

Found a thread about getting into Canada, but nothing about wanting to come back out on the other side. So here goes. My options are pretty slim, so I come for guidance. I've got hopping a train (if that is even an option at this point), Stowing away on a barge, jumping the Canadian border, or...

Newfoundland is located in Canada's Maritime. It's such a beautiful place! Newfoundland has the look and feel much like Alaska does. The island is roughly 600 miles long from east to west and perhaps 350 miles long from north to south at its longest points. Newfoundland has Fir trees and Spruce...
