He's just excited and wants to get his destination unfortunately if we want to drive to Alaska which is part of the United States we have no choice but to be forced to drive through Canada. Just because United States and Canada are neighboring countries doesn't mean we all have to like the same things and appreciate the same things. So my constructive criticism for you is.... don't be "offended" when none was "intended"

Eventually when you want to spend the time and get a better sound track, there is indeed a way to get rid of background noise tho you may not want to get rid of most nature sounds, wind noise is not terribly good for setting a mood lol! Don't know what editor you use and if it can use plugins, but there is a plug from Waves that is called clarity and it will remove anything that is not the human voice, and if you would like to just reduce the noise but not totally remove it, it does that too. It is unbelievable. I wish I had discovered it sooner than I did. It seemed that every time I made one of my wood videos and was doing a narration, that's when the neighbor would mow his lawn lol! But after getting that plugin, It has solved a ton of problems. But my wood channel was just a minor channel, my real vids are music vids so not as necessary for them, tho when I do my talks I do use it to "clarify" the vocal. Just a suggestion. Love your content so far tho. That scenery up there is incredible!
