When I left the US, I gave one car to my brother-in-law and the other to a nephew. My job in life is to help those whom I care about. Family helps family. Could I have added some money to my bank account? Sure. Would I have felt better with the money rather than the hugs from my family, absolutely not.

I was raised by parents the exact same way in principle! Mostly by my mom and grandma who lived with us. Dad preached the same but did the opposite, he always said do as I say not as I do! Now the tables have turned and I just had to tell my dad that he can’t come live with us! I’m flying out Wednesday to Mississippi to help my sister evict him from her property and he thought I was flying one way to help move his rv to my place in Tennessee! Since my mom passed he has been parked on my sisters property living in his class a rv, he blew through $250,000 dollars in life insurance and is now talking bankruptcy so she is ready for him to go b4 his coach gets repossessed and it’s even harder to get him gone! I turned the tables and used his life lessons that he gave us back to him! I told him that if he had invested the money and or used it to pay off all his debt including the coach then he wouldn’t be in his situation, but letting him move into my house with no means to support himself ( his social security is eaten up by a brand new truck payment and insurance) is a dead end to solving his problems and he needs to figure it out and get stable b4 my wife and would even consider letting him stay awhile. Cause right now it would inevitably be be more than a while and he refuses to let anyone look at his finances or listen to recommendations like selling the truck paying it off and using the rest to buy a used vehicle with cash thus freeing up $1200 a month that could go towards rent or a small camper payment! Being a kid of a father like that was hard, but being an adult and dealing with your father like that is hard enough without making it ten times worse!

Our folks were always there if we needed it, sometimes stuff happens thats not your fault- we learned to figure our way out but just a couple of times they helped. Your helping Mick will teach him a lot. It's hard when there's just no vehicles to be had. You sure went through some beautiful country, here in Oklahoma we call them Buffalo as well. Glad you had a safe journey, thanks for taking us along. I believe Mick will make it, it just takes some figuring out- you two gave him great lessons to help him do that. Stay safe and GOD bless

Drove that Alcan four times in the 1960s, first time in VW bug down to Texas in summer. Second and third in VW camper in winter and last time also in winter but only to Haines and caught the ferry to VC. Definitely preferred the winter driving - of course that was before they paved the road and it was so much smoother covered in ice. Did a whiteout on the last trip. I enjoyed your video, great memories. Stayed in Toad River on the first trip down...at that time you went in and picked an empty room and left the money on the table if you showed up after hours, which we did. No locks on any doors then.

LOVE your comments at the end. You’re so right about putting yourself in a position to help your people. Such a great feeling and just the right thing to do.

Beautiful video, all of that talk about semis and driving in the winter gave me a chill down my back. I did that for 16 years for FedEx in upstate NY. The fact that I'd rather work a State Max Prison tells the story. I'd be interested in the pay for those drivers that you passed

Dave I totally agree!! Although, I’m just making it right now, (Hubby passed two years ago) helping others right now is family, Church family and close friends listening and allowing us to come through grief… making it. Now I am back to teaching, I thought I was retired!! I do help those I can but God is indeed bringing me through this! Praying for Mick and your precious family!

Great adventure and great advice. My dad helped me growing up and I love it when I get a chance to help my kids. That’s what family is for. Dave, you should be teaching this course of being useful in all the colleges in America.

Amen, you’re a great dad! I’m probably around your age and a father of 3, a sign of a good person is a great parent. Your talk at the end was awesome! Much love to you guys!

I enjoyed this more than you will ever know. I have two offspring. One has never needed my help but always my encouragement and praise. The other always seems to fall short. I have helped that one more than I can even count. The first born will help anyone in need because he can. The other has never had the extra to fall back on so your advice is dead on. I hope young ones watch your channels and learn something. Hugs from Texas! Can’t believe I am freezing at 55 degrees! 💕

A video from Black Spruce this morning and now this one. That makes for a good day! Whatever the “take two” thing was about I hope all is well.

Dads are like a solid support rock for kids. They can count on their dad, anytime.

Always love your posts. You did good. You are helping Mick to get through until he is able to solve this himself. He is learning from your example.

Beautiful scenery, thanks for sharing. I grew up on the shores of Lake Huron. I have a brother who lives in the U.P. & cousins in Vancouver. Helping your adult children out once in awhile is not solving their problems. It’s being a good parent & good karma. Stay blessed!
