Anytime someone tells me they were in “northern” Canada, I know they were in “northern” south Canada. They have no idea how far north northern Canada actually is.

Even Canadians do go to northern Canada if they know what's good for them

As someone who spends a lot of time north of 60…can confirm. Friends will see me on the Snapchat map when I’m hiking in Baffin Island or up in pond inlet/inuvik and be like “the fuq?”

Ya right. Fucking $2000 flight tickets to get up there. I'd go if I didn't have to sell my leg to do it.

This view, to me, makes it bloody obvious the arctic shipping channel. Now that the planet has been so totally messed up, the Arctic Ocean will not have nearly as much ice. That reduction of ice will make shipping via the Arctic, rather than through Panama, feasible. It saves 4 days and $200k of fuel, plus boats can be filled 25% more, for this route has a greater water depth.

Seeing this makes me a little sad.

This is more so a shaded map of the United States and Canada

Whatcha doin up there?

Ha ha, yes I get quite annoyed when people say they’re from Northern Ontario when really it’s the west part of Ontario that they are talking about. It’s north of Toronto technically, but it’s really not the north part of Ontario.

That’s where the teacher with huge fake boobs lives

Awesome. Love these things. Especially with the PNW and Northern Rockies thrown in.

These are so cool. Thanks for making them OP!

I see lots of Campers and RVs driving up to Alaska on the highway. idk why someone would fly up to Alaska without their own camping gear other than business or military.

Speaking in context of where most people are, rather than where most land is, seems more useful in most cases.

Most countries aren't rectangles, you're going to have bits of the neighbouring ones when you put it in a square picture.

Ah yes. Now I have a use for this 3D image on my 2d phone.

This is a fantastic rendering! Can I buy a large print of it? wow....

That area, western Ontario, central Manitoba, and northern Saskatchewan, looks like it would be a massive pain in the ass to navigate around in today, let alone hundreds of years ago.

Campers and RVs are an awesome way to explore the north, but they're expensive.

Campers are cheaper here I guess, RV is pricey for sure But I'm on one of the last towns before the Alaska border, you can rent a camper for 100 or 135 a night for a huge 5th wheel, cheaper than some of the hotels around. I can provide much more info if your interested. Exploring the north & river caves is a large part of my towns tourism scene.

Plenty of low income young people come through from the states, I see them buying camping supplies at walmart all the time in the summer. People party in the woods with their campers bonfire ect. then rent them out for travelers.

*Edit: 100 CAD which is like 75 US

And how do you even get all the way up there

Long range hiking and mountain climbing. Ice climbing. Cold weather survival and remote back country first aid etc.

Fly. Snowmobile. Drive when possible.

That's sick dude, genuinely. You extreme mfs impress the hell out of me

Thanks much!

What the key is- reverse engineering your goals.

Like if you wanna do something someone else has done before. Don’t get freaked about how hard it is to do, backtrack and learn from the ground up how they did it and train your mind and body accordingly. Taking courses from experts, learning and learning and learning all while remaining humble.

If someone’s done it. You can do it too.

It’s all about priorities and making sure you treat your time as the number one. Pursue everything you want until it gets to a point where the time you’re dedicating isn’t worth the happiness the end result will give you.

Don’t be comfortable. Always be safe. Never stop believing and always start, trusting yourself.

Mostly though. I walk. It’s kind of my thing. I just like to walk far in places no one else can figure out how to get to. It’s the tits.

Alaska and lower 48 though?
