Two days after a flood washed out an 80-foot stretch of the Dalton Highway, maintenance and operations crews for the Alaska DOT are still working to repair the vital corridor. Plus, several schools across the state are beginning to make the cuts necessary to survive the governor’s line-item veto on education funding last week; some of those preparations appear to come in the form of hiring and spending freezes.

For the past 8 years Indiana aka "Drive by Dildo" has been focused on bikepack racing. He's got a laundry list of accomplishments to his name. Including being a Triple Crown Challenge finisher. He's one of only 23 people in the world to have accomplished this feat. I met him in 2018 when we were both participating in the GranGravel 500 and he was the first (and only to-date) to Yo-Yo the East Texas Showdown in 2022. Since the age of 6 he's dreamed of traveling the world. Once he discovered bikepacking he soon decided he wanted to fulfill the dreams of his 6 y/o self by cycling around the world. Over the past 8 years he's been dreaming, scheming, planning, and selling everything he wouldn't need to take on his bike. In May of 2024 Indy's planning and preparing was done, now it was time to ride his damn bike around the world. He set out on this adventure starting in Deadhorse, Alaska on the Dalton Highway. Now, almost a year later I catch up with him in La Paz, Mexico on a rest day. Indy is living a dream of mine, to one day live on my bike and see the world. It was so great to see my old friend again and get to hear more about the journey that I've been living vicariously through him online. Tune in to today's episode to hear about how and why Indy choose to live on his bike and travel the world and how his trip has been going so far!

In this episode, we sit down with Adam Rubin from DogandaJeep—a passionate road tripper who turned his dream of exploring Alaska with his Alaskan Malamute, Odin, into a reality. Adam shares how his love for snow, adventure, and the open road inspired him to move from Detroit to Fairbanks, where he's been living and exploring for the past few years. With the perspective of a seasoned traveler and winter camping expert, Adam offers practical advice on driving through Alaska in all seasons, camping in subzero temperatures, and traveling with pets. From unforgettable journeys up the Dalton Highway to tips for staying comfortable in extreme conditions, Adam's story is both inspiring and packed with insights for anyone planning their own Alaskan adventure. Episode Guest Adam Rubin is the Creative Director for the University of Alaska Fairbanks. After spending 10 years working for the Detroit Pistons of the NBA, he decided to make the leap and move to Alaska to camp and explore the Arctic region of North America. With his 10-year-old Alaskan Malamute, Odin, by his side, he drives an average of 30,000 miles a year, often embarking on 10+ day, 6,000-mile road trips throughout the North and the Pacific Northwest. When not working for UAF, he uses Instagram and YouTube as creative outlets to share his journeys with friends and family, showcasing the raw beauty of Alaska year-round. • Instagram • YouTube Resources Mentioned in this Episode - Alaska Overland Adventures - Alaska Overlander 4x4 Camping Rentals - Garmin inReach Satellite Communicator - Thermacell Mosquito Repellant - We're the Russos YouTube Channel - Newsletter sign up - Book 1: Take Risks - Book 2: Tales From the Open Road Book a 60 Minute Call with Joe Are you buying your first RV or have questions about RVing?

Alaska's proposed Ambler Road is back on the table, and Americans are once again asked a fundamental question about what we value and what kind of world we will pass on to our children. We covered the Ambler Road controversy in Episode 168 of the podcast, and a quick re-listen to that episode will be handy for getting the information we need to make informed decisions in this coming time of decision and consequence. Here's a quick breakdown of the issue: The proposed Ambler Road is a proposed 211-mile industrial corridor through public lands along the southern flanks of the Brooks Range and one of the last and largest protected roadless areas on earth. The road would be built from the Dalton Highway at Mile Marker 161 to the Ambler Mining District on the Ambler River, passing through the Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, bisecting the migration route of the embattled Western Arctic caribou herd and crossing nearly 3,000 streams and 11 major rivers including the Kobuk and Koyukon. Our guest today is Seth Kantner, who was born in a sod igloo on the Kobuk River in the 1960's and has been hunting, trapping, fishing and making a life on the land there ever since. He's a renowned wildlife photographer and a commercial fisherman, best known for his extraordinary novel Ordinary Wolves, his non-fiction books Shopping for Porcupine, Swallowed by the Great Land and A Thousand Trails Home: Living with Caribou, and a children's book, Pup and Porcupine. We thought that, with all the controversy over the Ambler Road, we should find a person who could speak to what was there in that country now, and what is truly at stake if the road project goes forward. We'll have Seth back to talk about subsistence hunting and trapping and life in the Arctic, but for now, let's address this pressing issue of the Ambler Road.
Pantheon Resources Executive Chairman David Hobbs joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the Megrez-1 well in the Ahpun field has been confirmed as a discovery after reaching its Target Depth. The company has run 5 ½" production casing in preparation for long-term testing, scheduled to begin in early 2025. Preliminary analysis indicates that Megrez-1 intersected multiple horizons containing light liquid hydrocarbons over 2,060 feet of measured depth. The well penetrated several reservoirs of Maastrichtian age, consisting of interbedded sands and shales. Notably, it encountered the Upper and Lower Prince Creek formations, interpreted to contain light liquid hydrocarbons over a gross vertical interval of 510 feet, from 5,440 to 5,950 feet. In the coming months, Pantheon will analyze an extensive data set gathered from the well, including whole core samples, VAS cuttings analysis, logs, and sidewall cores. Preliminary results are expected by February 2025, providing insights into detailed reservoir characteristics and informing the design of the long-term production testing program. The company plans to leverage the Nabors-105AC rig, currently stacked on the Megrez gravel pad adjacent to the Dalton Highway, to streamline operations once testing commences. This discovery marks a key step forward in unlocking the potential of the Ahpun field. #proactiveinvestors #pantheonresourcesplc #mining #lse #panr #pthrf #OilDiscovery #EnergyNews #Megrez1 #AhpunField #OilAndGas #HydrocarbonExploration #InvestmentUpdates #ProactiveNews #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews
In this episode of the Trucking for Millennials podcast, we had the pleasure of welcoming Jamie Benson, the President and CEO of the Alaska Trucking Association. Jamie brings over 30 years of experience from her tenure at FedEx, where she developed a deep passion for team inspiration, safety, and the unique challenges of trucking in Alaska. We kicked off the episode by discussing Jamie's extensive background. She shared her journey from starting as a handler at FedEx in 1994 to eventually becoming a leader in the organization. Jamie's story is one of perseverance and growth, highlighting how she navigated her career while balancing family life. She emphasized the importance of encouragement and building people up, which she believes are crucial for success in any job. Jamie also provided insights into the unique aspects of trucking in Alaska. From dealing with extreme weather conditions to encountering wildlife like moose and bears, the challenges are numerous. She explained how the Alaska Trucking Association focuses heavily on safety and preparedness, ensuring that drivers are well-equipped to handle the state's demanding environment. One of the standout moments was Jamie's recounting of her experience on the Dalton Highway, a 500-mile stretch that supplies Prudhoe Bay and Dead Horse. She described the bravery and resilience of the truck drivers who navigate this treacherous route, often without reliable communication due to the remote nature of the area. Throughout the episode, Jamie's dedication to fostering a people-first culture within the trucking industry was evident. She shared valuable advice for those looking to advance their careers while managing family responsibilities, encouraging listeners to take risks and pursue leadership opportunities. Overall, this episode provided a fascinating look into the world of Alaska trucking and the incredible individuals who keep the industry moving. Jamie Benson's leadership and passion for the field make her an inspiring figure, and we were thrilled to have her on the show.

But a phantom black dog by any other name is still a phantom black dog. (Phantom Black Dogs) *** Dalton Highway is already a scary road for those driving down the ice-covered highways of Alaska. The loneliness on the barren stretch of highway can go on for hours without seeing a single soul. But for one ice road trucker, that solitude would be interrupted by something terrifying and unexplainable. (The Terror On Dalton Highway) *** Hunters come across a strange note left behind by someone who claimed he'd been stuck in the wilderness for over a week and was out picking berries, but the hunters soon realized there was no one out berry-picking, for the person who wrote the note was already dead – and had been for over two weeks. (Into The Wild - The Death of Chris McCandless) *** Sometimes drugs can work too well – for example, a hair-loss prevention drug could turn your own children into hairy wolfman-like monsters! (Drugs Turn Babies Into Werewolves) *** The dark practice of body snatching was a lucrative business, committed by those with a strong stomach and a willingness to disturb the dead to turn a profit. (Body Snatchers) *** High in the Himalayas is a mysterious lake with a very grisly secret. (What's At The Bottom of Skeleton Lake?) *** Megalodon died out millennia ago. But our fascination with this mighty shark will never go extinct. We are so obsessed with this ancient leviathan that people still claim to spot Megalodon even today – but that couldn't be, could it? (The Return of Megalodon) *** Megalodon isn't the only creature of the deep people report sighting. For centuries a denizen of oceanic monsters have allegedly been seen – but the question is whether or not they are fact or fantasy.

The Biden Administration finalized a decision blocking the controversial Ambler Road project Friday. The 200 mile road would branch off the Dalton Highway and cut through a national park to access mineral deposits in Northwest Alaska, and Alaska Airlines has suspended its mileage-sharing agreement with Ravn Alaska.
Pantheon Resources Executive Chairman David Hobbs joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the company has released the results of the recent Independent Expert Report by Cawley Gillespie & Associates. This report completes the independent estimates for the Company's aggregate resources from the Kodiak field, Ahpun western topsets, and Alkaid horizon, resulting in totals exceeding 1.5 billion barrels of ANS Crude and 6.5 trillion cubic feet of associated gas. The company states that the Ahpun topsets on the west side of the Dalton Highway can be economically developed, even after excluding the potential market offtake for natural gas. The best estimate of 282 mmbbl of contingent recoverable resources of ANS crude and 803 billion cubic feet of natural gas underscores Pantheon's ability to support the in-State phase of the Alaska LNG project, initially with Ahpun volumes and with its Kodiak field resources. Hobbs told Proactive that the report evaluated the economics of the best estimate or 2C case. Based on an ANS Crude price of $80 per barrel delivered to the US West Coast, CGA estimates the net present value of the total contingent resources in the western topsets in the Ahpun field at $1.74 billion. This report extends the independent assessments of all the Company's contingent resources discovered, appraised, and for which development approvals are being prepared. As previously announced, the Company is targeting a Final Investment Decision at the earliest possible date subject to regulatory consents, but in any case, to allow first production no later than 2028. #proactiveinvestors #pantheonresourcesplc #mining #lse #panr #pthrf #OilIndustry #EnergySector #IndependentReport #ResourceEstimates #CrudeOil #NaturalGas #ProjectDevelopment #CommercialViability #EnergyProduction #RegulatoryApproval #EnvironmentalApproval #FundingStrategy #IPO #InvestorBase #EnergyNews #2028Goals #DavidHobbs #EnergyInvestment #ProactiveNew#invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Christian Schüle hat sich auf die vermutlich gefährlichste Straße der Welt gewagt. Mit einem Öl-Truckfahrer fuhr der Hamburger Publizist über den Dalton-Highway in Alaska (Route 11). Hunderte Kilometer ging es über die legendäre Eispiste vom Fairbanks bis Deadhorse. Elche auf der Fahrbahn hätten fast einen Unfall verursacht. Seine Geschichte hört ihr in dieser Podcastfolge von "Mein Abenteuer" mit Reiner Meutsch
The proposed Ambler Road is a proposed 211-mile industrial corridor through public lands along the southern flanks of the Brooks Range and one of the last and largest protected roadless areas on earth. The road would be built from the Dalton Highway to the Ambler Mining District on the Ambler River, passing through the Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, bisecting the migration route of the embattled Western Arctic caribou herd and crossing nearly 3,000 streams and 11 major rivers including the Kobuk and Koyukon. Tune in to learn about this proposed project from three deeply concerned Alaskans while there is still time for hunters and anglers like you to make your voices heard.

Helene Neville was told by a doctor she needed to go home and get her affairs in order. She didn't have long to live. That was 25 years ago. The mother of two young sons ran from that diagnosis and has been running ever since. Helene has survived three brain surgeries and recurring lymphoma. She has endured chemo, radiation, and, most recently, nearly two years in bed. Yet, she keeps running. When she was first told she was dying, she signed up for and completed the Chicago Marathon. Since then, she has become the first person to run across every single state in America amassing nearly 14,000 total miles…and she did it alone! This summer, she plans to run across much of Canada from Thunder Bay to Victoria, British Columbia. Helene's remarkable story epitomizes what it means to be resilient.In this interview, Helene talks about how she has overcome decades of life-threatening illnesses, why she pushes herself to accomplish her amazing athletic feats, and she shares stories about the people who have helped her on her journeys. Helene also reminds us that what connects humanity is much stronger than the issues that threaten to divide us. Helene demonstrates what is physically and mentally possible to those needing hope and inspiration. Helene Neville is a survivor of three brain abscesses, three brain surgeries, and recurring lymphoma.

Chase Eckert says he's drawn to fantastic stories told by amazing people and feels that if you listen to enough interesting people for long enough you will end up trying something interesting yourself. Chase grew up working at his family's traveling carnival in Alaska. As things would have it, during Covid the carnival shut down, but when things started to open up again Chase went back to work. While at a carnival during the Iditarod sled dog race he got the idea to ride his motorcycle to the Arctic Circle. After some quick planning, Chase set out and rode his KTM up the Dalton Highway, but before he made it to his destination he ran in to some trouble with his bike and plans changed.

Deadhorse, Alaska is an unincorporated community that supports oil operations in nearby Prudhoe Bay and is a temporary home for two to three thousand nonpermanent workers. To get to Deadhorse you have to ride the Dalton Highway, commonly referred to as The Haul Road, and it's not for the faint of heart. Road conditions vary greatly with gravel, mud, dust, snow and ice. Why has it become a destination for motorcyclists, not to mention loads of other tourists? So why all the fuss? On this episode, Jeff Davison tells us what it was like for him to ride a test motorcycle from Suzuki all the way to Deadhorse Alaska.

Josh Viar of The Boundary Paradox went to Alaska with his dad to hunt a public hunting area that is OVER 400 MILES LONG. Josh hunted the Dalton Highway or Haul Road (popular road from Ice Truckers). They were able to tag 2 bulls (one with a bow and one with a gun). This episode will cover his story along with tips and tactics from his experiences.
On today's Midday Report with host Terry Haines: Flood damage on the Richardson Highway will cost hundreds of millions of dollars to repair. A hunter has vanished in a remote area off the Dalton Highway. And Unalaska airfares are skyrocketing.
"Delivering Hope" is a feature film documentary that tells the ultimate story of people coming together for something bigger than themselves. On November 16, 2019, eight days before his 50th birthday, ultra-runner Kevin Kline set out to become the first person in history to run the northernmost 300 miles of Alaska's dangerous Dalton Highway, in winter, to raise awareness for children battling pediatric cancer. When Kline's body shuts down after 200 miles, the crew is faced with a life-changing dilemma. A native Texan, Jordan Orsak began FilmPro Inc. in 2014 as a production company focusing on commercial and independent video projects in the Austin area (now including productions in Los Angeles, CA). Orsak's passion for story telling allowed him to expand his reach to include projects like short form movies, music videos, and the documentary "Delivering Hope." His additional involvement through Sunflower Production and Blissful Films allow him to continue to do projects in any form or genre. "365" was created while filming for the documentary “If the Ocean Could Talk” off the coast of North Carolina, the crew hoped to tell the story of one of the most endangered species on the planet, but were launched into an unexpected journey of something hidden from the world. As the Director of Science, Research and Academic Partnerships for Plastic Ocean Project, Inc. as well as the Executive Director, Bonnie Monteleone is a researcher who has collected plastic marine samples globally including four of the five main ocean gyres, the Caribbean, and has extended this work to Pyramid Lake, outside of Reno, Nevada.

Pantheon Resources (AIM: PANR) is an oil and gas exploration company with a portfolio of high impact projects located on the Alaska North Slope. The Company will be broadcasting a short presentation which provides insight into Pantheon's methodology for modelling performance from vertical to horizontal wells. This analysis follows the successful drilling and testing operations at Theta West and Talitha #A, which concluded in March 2022. The Company will also be spudding the Alkaid #2 well in July 2022. Pantheon's assets include major oil appraisal and development projects, namely Theta West, Talitha and Greater Alkaid. All projects are located immediately adjacent to the Trans Alaska Pipeline System and the Dalton Highway, the major transportation artery for the Alaskan North Slope. The Company estimates these three wholly-owned projects to contain c. 26 billion barrels of oil in place and over 2.7 billion barrels of recoverable resource. https://www.share-talk.com/pantheon-resources-aim-panr-modelling-performance-from-vertical-to-horizontal-wells-may-2022/
Winter in Alaska comes with its own set of travel challenges, as Maria Haase learned on her winter trip to Fairbanks and up the Dalton Highway to Coldfoot, Alaska. This part of the world is where they film the TV Show, "Ice Road Truckers" and the Coldfoot Camp is a lot more than a truckstop. It's a hotel, restaurant, gift shop and a place to enjoy being above the Arctic Circle and see the Aurora Borealis in the sky above high north Alaska. Read the story here
“PHANTOM BLACK DOGS AND DRUGS THAT TURN BABIES INTO WEREWOLVES” and More True Tales! #WeirdDarknessIN THIS EPISODE: (Dark Archives episode, originally posted November 24, 2020) It has several names all over the world such as the Bogey Beast, the Black Shuck, Hairy Jack, Padfoot, Striker, and more. But a phantom black dog by any other name is still a phantom black dog. (Phantom Black Dogs) *** Dalton Highway is already a scary road for those driving down the ice-covered highways of Alaska. The loneliness on the barren stretch of highway can go on for hours without seeing a single soul. But for one ice road trucker, that solitude would be interrupted by something terrifying and unexplainable. (The Terror On Dalton Highway) *** Hunters come across a strange note left behind by someone who claimed he'd been stuck in the wilderness for over a week and was out picking berries, but the hunters soon realized there was no one out berry-picking, for the person who wrote the note was already dead – and had been for over two weeks. (Into The Wild - The Death of Chris McCandless) *** Sometimes drugs can work too well – for example, a hair-loss prevention drug could turn your own children into hairy wolfman-like monsters! (Drugs Turn Babies Into Werewolves) *** The dark practice of body snatching was a lucrative business, committed by those with a strong stomach and a willingness to disturb the dead to turn a profit. (Body Snatchers) *** High in the Himalayas is a mysterious lake with a very grisly secret. (What's At The Bottom of Skeleton Lake?) *** Megalodon died out millennia ago. But our fascination with this mighty shark will never go extinct. We are so obsessed with this ancient leviathan that people still claim to spot Megalodon even today – but that couldn't be, could it? (The Return of Megalodon) *** Megalodon isn't the only creature of the deep people report sighting. For centuries a denizen of oceanic monsters have allegedly been seen – but the question is whether or not they are fact or fantasy.

In 2013 Kevin Stratton and his son left Minnesota and headed up the Dalton Highway, with Kevin hoping that the motorcycle trip would create a bond between father and son that couldn't be broken by anything. They had no off road experience and many mistakes were made along the way, but fortunately, Kevin is an experienced camper, so they weren't completely unprepared. And although Kevin thought that things were going very well, in the end it didn't turn out the way Kevin had hoped.

Mike McCastle recently completed an Unlikely Labor, pulling a 2.5 ton truck for 10 miles along the Dalton Highway in freezing temperatures. This labor took him into the Arctic Circle, and beyond the what the vast majority of people may consider the limits of human achievement.But for Mike, this labor was more about relief than about the struggle. Relief from an anguished mind, struggling to come to grips with the loss of a previously planned labor, one that is a part of a series of tasks he has but one lifetime to complete, and all of which serve a purpose that has more value than a single human life. As Mike says in this reflection on his labor, he is and always will be the author of his own story. Nothing is given, nothing is promised, and it is up to each of us to decide will be succumb or will be overcome.FNX Fitness Supplements To Fuel Your Greatness - - Use code ESSENTIAL for 20% at check-outDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

In Episode 013 of Bike Tour Adventures, I interview Jonas Deichman, a German ultra-endurance cyclist and motivational speaker. During this interview we talk about how he went from being a guy that did an 18 month world tour to becoming a professional ultra-endurance racer, a holder of two world records for being the fastest to cycle across Eurasia from Portugal to Vladivostok, Russia and also for cycling from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina following the Pan-American Highway.Links to Jonas Deichmann's website and social media can be found by clicking my Episode 013 link below.Follow me at…EPISODE 013: http://biketouradventures.com/episode-013/WEBSITE: http://www.biketouradventures.com YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPQl_pNcMZA-hHckhVrpmaw FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/biketouradventures/ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/bike_tour_adventures/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/BikeTourAdv ITUNES: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bike-tour-adventures/id1464406852 Show Notes~ 30 sec Intro of Jonas Deichman~ 2m 30s Doing a world-tour part-time as a university student, budgeting, and what he learned from his first world tour that helped him with his world records~ 6 min Daily riding distance, rest days, what made him think he could set a world record~ 7m 30s How Jonas prepared for his Eurasia world record ride, and then for the Pan-American, average daily distance, ~ 9 min Discussing his two world-records, difficulties he faced with his bike and weather, the condition of Russian roads and what it's like to ride there, and tips for successful riding in Russia~ 14 min Best part of riding across Eurasia, keeping himself motivated on a daily basis~ 16 min Discussing the bikes he used for the Eurasia ride, Pan-American Solo, and his upcoming Cape-to-Cape~ 17m 45s What kit he takes with him, how he balances the needs and wants, his luggage weight, and how much water he carries~ 21 min Issues with mud on the Dalton Highway, what tires he uses, ~ 23m 40s Highlights of the Pan-American ride~ 26 min Dangerous situations while on the trip~ 29 min The headwinds of Patagonia and tips for making progress and why the wind was worse in Peru~ 32m 45s Bypassing the Darien Gap~ 34m 20s Cape-to-Cape world-record attempt and why he is riding with a partner~ 37m 30s Bikes and gear, dealing with the heat of riding in Sudan~ 40m 45s Challenges and benefits of riding with a partner~ 46 min Politics and the challenge of deciding on a particular route~ 51 min Anticipated daily distances through Europe and Africa, most important piece of equipment~ 53 min Someone that has had a huge influence on who he is today and what advice he would give others~ 57 min What's next for Jonas Deichman and his ultimate goal~ 60 min Difference between supported and unsupported race speeds, growing strength of female ultra-endurance cyclists~ 62 min Working as a motivational speaker~ 63m 30s Next week on BTA, Matt and Becky
The Dalton Highway took its toll on my bike and body. I was super fortunate that one of my YouTube followers messaged me and offered me a place to stay for 6 days. It was an absolutly wonderful 6 days which included Salmon fishing, video editing and eating some amazing home-cooked meals.
I've just returned from cycling for 10 days from Prudhoe Bay at the top of Alaska the next town which was 800km away in Fairbanks. In this livestream I will be talking through my experience on the Dalton Highway, updates for the future and I'll be answering your questions in the live chat.This live stream was published on YouTube on the 8 July 2019. Here is a link to the livestream: https://youtu.be/YBJqjDToMTk
I may be starting to go a little mad after 9 days with little human contact. The end is in sight.
I approach the Yukon River and start to reflect on spending a week alone on the Dalton Highway. There are also some music recommendations towards the end of the episode.
The end of the Dalton Highway is within sight. Crossing the Yukon was another big milestone as I made my way south towards Fairbanks. Even though the Dalton Highway is remote and long, I still happened to meet some wonderful characters.
Tough climbing but blue skies. The Atigun pass is the highest road in Alaska. The Brooks Mountain range is now passed and it should be downhill from here... https:/youtube.com/adamhugill
Eating a burger and being able to charge my stuff. Coldfoot was a little haven on my route south on the Dalton Highway. https://youtube.com/adamhugill
A short one as I was camping near other people and didn’t want to disturb them late at night. https://youtube.com/adamhugill
The last thing I needed to happen, just happened. Broken spokes in the middle of the remote wilderness and with a big old mountain range to climb. https://YouTube.com/adamhugill
I leave Spencer behind and continue towards the mountains as I cycle south from the Arctic Sea. https://youtube.com/adamhugill
There's a new sheriff in town and as a result Trilogy Metals is on the move. VP Patrick Donnelly tells us that as a result of streamlined Federal environmental/land use regulations, Trilogy is moving quickly ahead with its Arctic and Bornite Projects (located in the Ambler District situated in Alaska's wilderness). The state's governor is pushing for the project as well. As a result, a much needed 211 mile industrial road is being permitted and will be built shortly thereafter. It will connect the district to the Dalton Highway that traverses the State and thereby facilitate development and production of the projects. Trilogy is in the unique position of having high cash reserves with more on the way. Its JV with South 32 could provide another $150 million by next January. The project is a monster with billions of pounds of copper and lots of Cobalt, Gold, Silver, Lead and Zinc as well. It will be producing for decades to come. Transcript Kerry Lutz: Welcome. You are listening to The Financial Survival Network. I'm Kerry Lutz. You know we love to showcase companies, sponsor companies that have amazing prospects, that are amazing values especially in this depressed resource sector. One of these companies is Trilogy Metals, which is a little bit of a misnomer but you'll understand why in a little bit. Trilogy is a company that is getting things done. So often in the resource sector viable projects, for reasons of financing, regulation, first nations issues, indigenous peoples, ecological issues, they get tied up for decades literally. This is probably the biggest crime because true wealth is created from the earth, it's extracted from the earth and you just have to look at history to understand that. This company, Trilogy Metals Inc., it's on the NYSE, the New York Stock Exchange and it's under the symbol TMQ. You'll also find it under the TSX. TMQ right now it's trading in the mid $2 range. Kerry Lutz: Found out about this company a while ago when I was at PDAC, that's the show in Toronto, the show of shows. Trilogy had by far one of the best stories there, they had a virtual reality display showing the magnitude of their deposit, the extent of their project. It was amazing. Without further ado, I'm going to bring Patrick Donnelly on. Pat, you're Vice President Corporate Communications and Development. You shouldn't be fooled by Pat's title, I mean you started your career 25 years ago as a project geologist exploring for precious and base metals, diamonds in western and northern Canada. I should mention, this project is in Alaska and when you think Alaska you think cold, and definitely here. Pat, it's great to have you back on. This must be an extremely exciting time to be involved with a company like Trilogy. Patrick D.: Yeah, absolutely. Thanks, Kerry, for having me on. I keep telling people the stars have aligned. What I mean by that is copper fundamentals are very, very, very strong. We're in a great jurisdiction in Alaska, great support from the Governor and great support from the US federal government. Fantastic relationships with the indigenous peoples, and great support from one of our partners, South 32, which is a multi-billion dollar Australian company. Not to mention, we have a fantastic asset that has some of the highest grades in the world. Kerry Lutz: I was recently saw you do a presentation. You were down here in my neck of the woods in south Florida. There was a group, I'd say about 60, 70 very sophisticated investors. When you told them Trilogy doesn't need any money, we're not looking to raise capital. We're looking to raise awareness of the opportunity because the market does not accurately express the value of the company. I swear to God, their jaws dropped, Pat. I mean, well wow, we don't see anybody who doesn't need money. They don't usually come on this circuit. It was quite interesting the response. Patrick D.: Yeah, I left the begging bowl back in Vancouver. It's nice not to need money and you can focus on the business. We have $30 million in cash, US. All our warrants are in the money. We have over, I think six and a half million warrants that are set to expire in July and they're all in the money so that will add another $10 million to our treasury. We've got a very ambitious $18.2 million budget this year for exploration work and permitting, and feasibility work at our projects in Alaska. Yeah, it's nice to focus just on the company and tell people what we're doing. Also mention, it's nice that we're listed in New York. Which brings a big sigh of relief to people because a lot of people don't like trading on the TSX or the TSX venture or in the OTC. We're a legitimate company on New York and also have some very sophisticated shareholders as big shareholders and that helps as well. Kerry Lutz: Yes, absolutely. There's two projects, two lead projects, you've got others of course. That's Arctic and Bornite. Arctic is the one that's moving ahead. You're currently in the midst of getting a highway permitted. Can you just explain how that works? Patrick D.: Yeah, I mean the projects we have, arctic and bornite were discovered decades ago. The issue has never been about whether they're economic or not. They've always been economic, the issue has always been that they're remote. Last five or six years now the Bureau of Land Management of the federal government has been moving forward to permit a 211 mile industrial road to the project. What that would do is link us up to the Dalton Highway. The Dalton Highway is the main highway that goes north south in Alaska, it connects the north slope oil and gas fields to Anchorage. The permitting development in this road is a critical catalyst for this company and the government, like I said, the US government, the BLM has been making incredible progress on getting this road permitted, which will be done by the end of this year. Patrick D.: It will be a private road, it will be for industrial use only and the taxpayer will not have to pay a penny for this. This will be financed with a public, private partnership between Alaska Industrial Development Export Authority, which is a state infrastructure bank and ourselves. There will be a toll for the road and the toll will cover the maintenance cost, and the capital cost, and the interest for the debt finance, support the road. This has been done before. This is a model that's been done before in Alaska. The Red Dog Mine, which is about 200 miles away from us, which is owned by NANA Corporation, which is a native corporation and operated by Tech Resources, which is $13 billion Canadian mining company. That mine was built i30 years ago and they needed a road and port. AIDA permitted and financed that road, raised debt in the private markets and the mine paid a toll in the road in the port. They paid it off a few years ago and now it generates around $20 million a year revenue for the state. That model's been done before and it's a model that we're going to apply to the road that we need to support our project. Kerry Lutz: Right. A 211 mile highway, that's pretty substantial so I totally get the environmental aspects. All of this is moving ahead and you've got a pretty aggressive timetable, especially because you're dealing with the government and you never know what's going to happen. They seem determined, correct me if I'm wrong, to really get this thing going. Patrick D.: Yeah. It's funny, United States right now, unemployment is very, very low and there's plenty of jobs in the lower 48. People don't realize that Alaska is in a recession and that's because historically Alaska is derived I think 80% to 90% of its revenues from the oil and gas industry. The amount of activity has slowed down considerably in the last few years. The governor of Alaska is adamant to diversify the economy of Alaska. One way is to support the mining industry and he's very, very familiar with mining. His three daughters worked at the Red Dog Mine, which is the second largest zinc mine in the world. The governor lived in the area where we are for many years so he's seen the positive benefits that mining has done for the region. It's created a lot of jobs, it's created a lot of revenues for the government and for the local peoples. He's incredibly supportive. Patrick D.: Also, I have to give a tip of the hat to the Trump administration in Washington. They truly are pro-business. They're not cutting corners or anything, they're just getting things done. Things are moving and it's very, very refreshing to deal with a government that wants business, they want jobs, they want people, the local Joe's to do well. Yeah, just an absolute pleasure to deal with governments that are very, very supportive. Like I said, they're not cutting any corners, it's just simply making sure that the process is moving along. Like I said, we're going to have the permits for this road by the end of this year. It's a big catalyst for the company. I don't know any other jurisdiction right now globally that's this efficient and this supportive of jobs and generating wealth for people. Kerry Lutz: It's pretty amazing and it's 180 degree turn from the prior administration where one of the things that they were doing that was literally going to destroy the mining industry in the US and just drive out the miners was a requirement that once a mine was expended, obviously, there's remediation and that's the right thing, but you would have to monitor that mine for 30 years after it was sealed off, remediated, to make sure nothing happened. Once a mine is closed and it's remediated, unless there's water running through it, that's it. Nothing is going to happen. Normally, in remediation you channel the water away from the expended mine so you don't have ecological issues. Patrick D.: Yeah. Nowadays, one you have to have a closure plan. It has to be very, very detailed and well

Danger-Zone Most Dangerous Roads Danger-Zone is the title of this weeks pod. Ruthann explores Americas most dangerous roads. Is your state in the rankings? We talk about where most people run risk of being killed just by being on these roads. Danger is every where if you are on this list Americas Bad Roads Although the consistent, unchanging open road can be relaxing, some roads require a bit more concentration. While there are terrifying yet thrilling roads all over the world, there are plenty of roads that offer adventure right in the US. From Alaska's Dalton Highway to Florida's Highway 1, these are the most dangerous roads in the US. Alaska's nightmarish Dalton Highway stretches some 400 miles through remote forests, tundras, and over the Yukon River. What makes this drive extra scary is its 240-mile stretch with no gas stations, restaurants, hotels, or any other basic services. The road also contains multiple signs warning of steep grades and avalanches.A 181-mile stretch of Interstate 15 between Las Vegas and Los Angeles was ranked as the most deadly stretch of road in the US in 2010. The study revealed that in 15 years alone, 1,069 people had perished on the road. A stretch of US Route 550 traverses three 10,000-foot mountains passes, and winds across steep cliffs and hairpin curves, all without guardrails. Local folklore says Colorado's Million Dollar Highway got its name because an early traveler said you'd have to pay her one million dollars to drive it again. Montana is known for being one of the most dangerous states to drive in, mostly because of its long stretches of highway in between towns. So if you have an accident, you're on your own, as it takes an average of 80 minutes for an ambulance to arrive Highway 2 is particularly dangerous; it maintains a 70mph speed limit through mountainous roads. The road has proven to be so treacherous that Washington State recently spent $60 million to make the road safer.Interstate 45 was ranked as the second-deadliest highway in the US in 2016 after analysts found that the highway averaged 56.5 fatal accidents per 100 miles of roadway. The most dangerous part of the route is in Houston, with 51 fatal wrecks from 2011 to 2015. So tune in to this weeks Podcast and see if you are in the Danger-Zone on Americas roads!

Adam and I discuss our summers in Alaska and discuss details of making the Alaska road trip including our adventures and misadventures while traveling and photographing Alaskan wildlife and landscapes. We both visited Denali, the Kenai peninsula, and Valdez. Adam talks about driving the Dalton Highway aka the Haul Road from Fairbanks to Dead Horse near Prudhoe Bay. I discuss my experiences photographing brown bears in Katmai National Park and the options for photographing in Lake Clark National Park. Finally, I discuss our visit to Hyder and the Salmon Glacier, fifth largest in Canada and mighty impressive.

Motoquest is a motorcycle rental and tour company based out of Alaska. Phil started doing trips in 1998 in Alaska, and has since branched out in to other parts of the world, running trips in over 20 countries. We contacted Phil when we were looking for tips on riding the Dalton Highway. On his website, he has the 10 Do's and Don'ts of the Dalton, and in an excerpt from it Phil says, “414 miles of frost-heaves, broken chip seal and grated dirt surfaces, the Dalton Highway has its challenges. On a good day, you can ride it wide open. On a bad day, you can go home in a helicopter. Every year motorcyclists are killed on the Dalton Highway. This road offers the rider the adventure gamut. Almost half of the highway is paved or chip sealed. The other half can be smooth or baseballs. There are relatively no places to stop along the way: no gas, no convenient stores, no McDonalds. There are stretches of up to 245 miles without gas. You are literally riding through pristine wilderness. There are no tire shops or police stations. A wrecker to the Arctic Circle from Fairbanks is a $1,600 bill. Dalton Highway, mile marker 300: Welcome to the food chain.” You can read the rest of this article on the Motoquest website at https://www.motoquest.com/ramblings-from-the-road/the-10-dos-and-donts-of-the-dalton/ Motoquest Website: www.motoquest.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MotoQuest This Week’s Show Sponsors: Support the show sponsors that help bring ADVENTURE RIDER RADIO to you.

In this episode, New York Times writer Alan Feuer expands on what he wrote about his 400-mile drive on Alaska's Dalton Highway, which he calls one of America's loneliest roads. I talk to Yahoo Travel editor at large Paula Froelich, a big fan of solo travel, as seen on her adventure travel web series A Broad Abroad, about “giving myself the gift of reflection” on the road. And I learn what single handing is from Randall Reeves, who plans to circumnavigate both the Americas and the Antarctic in a small sailboat starting in September 2017, passing through four separate oceans and nearing both poles in the process. Oh, and he's doing it alone.
