Default Mark and Ray's Al-Can Adventure

Two Jeep JKs. 44 days. 9,450 miles from Abottsford, British Columbia (BC) to Chief Mountain border crossing, Montana. Side trips to Inuvik, Northwest Territory (NT) on Dempster Hwy; Deadhorse, Alaska (AK) on Dalton Hwy; Prince Rupert, BC; Seward, AK; Skagway, AK. Arctic Circle crossed in both AK and NT. Arctic Ocean reached. Three US and two Canadian national parks. One set of brakes, three windshields, two tires, one muffler, one battery, one driving light, all lost to the route. Over the next few weeks I'll be posting pictures on my IG (DigitalByDoiron) and FB (Mark Doiron) pages about this amazing trip. And I'll be releasing YouTube videos about the trip, as well. Meanwhile, here's a teaser video ...

Over the years I've had several folks who don't know each other tell me I sound like Paul Harvey. But thanks for the compliment. And, of course, I'm up to part 10.

Default GoPro Set Up

You may have covered this, but, which camera/ video editor did you use to document your trip and make your videos? Also, did you mount it in front of your rear view? And finally, what "lessons learned" would you put out to folks looking to video a trip like this? Your trip vid made me realize how much simply telling about my trips over beers really leaves out. Many thanks!!
