Good on you for getting out there and doing it bro! Spent alot of time hitchhiking around BC and the Yukon in the past.

Huge inspiration my friend. I'm a BC local and I've been meaning to get the balls to hitch out in this frozen wasteland - I have the proper gear just never had the motivation. I can probably thank you for inspiring me to head out sometime in the future!

Do it bro, winter is such a beautiful yet challenging season in BC. Road travel can become quite hazardous at times but that is part of the thrill! Be prepared for the worst if you do go though.
