Hi, my name is Peng, and I am a travel addict.
To me, traveling is not about country-bagging. It’s about sauntering through the trails, immersing in the culture, and lingering for the experience. Isn’t that the reason why we travel? If you also believe in this, I hope my videos will help you travel smarter and inspire you to see more places!

Beautiful. Yes , more please .
pretty sure the 4 mile trail to glacier point or the upper falls trail to the top of yosemite falls or the mist trail would all be rated vastly superior to this thrash to a minor nubbin for the view. Rare Yosemite spot though to be sure.
It’s something new to do with a cool view. Who hasn’t done Yosemite falls and glacier point a million times lol
@@nickv3085 Yes, but it's titled the best view in Yosemite and that is quite debatable. Can't compare this one to the top of Half Dome or North Dome for that matter. :)
Hi! Great tips. I just wanted to say if you are thinking about driving the dempster, I would say bring a jerry can. on our way back south down the Dempster the gas station at egale plains either had no gas or the pumps weren't working but lucky we had a jerry can and got back down no problem some people were stuck at eagle plains.
Great point!
Well done Video👍👍 I’m a new subscriber. I’m planning a trip by Motorcycle to Tuk. (If my wife comes, we’ll take the truck) Interesting you did not mention my favourite “carnivore”… the vicious Mosquitoes!!! Do you think they were less abundant because you were driving later in the season?
Thank you and welcome! Absolutely, mosquitoes would be an issue in the summer. I once pulled into a spot by a lake and ended up spending the entire night without ever opening the door after seeing the clouds of mosquitoes outside. That was early August. So yes, going later in the season will definitely help. I didn't have any mosquito issues.
More please. Good points above about location stamps
What a day. What a life. Fantastic photo of the Buffalo- wow. Tha ks for making this and sharing.
Beautiful scenery especially with the time lapse. Would love it if you could caption where each of those places were.
Wish you could list those places in your description
Great video. For the tire segment, you mentioned its best to air down your tires, I have a F450 with a 5500lb truck camper on it, I run 110psi, I'm not sure I can air them down because of the weight. They are 14ply commercial truck tires, what is your opinion? Thanks
As a random KZreadr, I don't feel comfortable giving you advice on something this important. If I were you, I would contact the tire manufacturer, or a local tire shop and ask for their opinion. What I can tell you from my personal experience is that I met some people with full size RVs and they aired down 10-15 psi and they were fine. If airing down is not an option, then slowing down would be what I would do. Also, for reference, I have 10 ply and my van weights 9000lb+.
An update to what happened and how it was resolved: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mYlpudKiiprTm7w.html
We just made a trip to Tuk. I live in Dawson City I drove on Winter Tires in a KIA Sportage and did not have a flat. I have driven I Good Year all Season and a flat. The Key is no matter what tire is to carry a repair kit and compressor.
A little off topic, but I love your town. I didn't have enough time to explore due to the bridge closure delays, but I definitely want to go back again and stay there for a few days!
This is the video I’ve been looking for! I’ve read a couple reviews about Bench Lake but hadn’t seen any high quality videos. Thank you :) we’re heading up to Onion Valley for the 4th of July.
Glad it was helpful! Enjoy your trip.
Love his passion for travel and sense of humor, too.
Thank you! 😊
Wow! Beautiful scenery! Great video with lots of helpful tips! This guy is funny, smart, and, tbh adorable. I wish him well on his adventures!!
Thanks so much!
“Widdle ladder” “STO porn” 😂
I'm really tempted to buy one of these for my van 😂: amzn.to/3xKVu2n
Great video Peng. Your photography is fantastic. Also your instant pot meal looked great . Always love getting tips from you .😊
Glad you enjoyed it, and glad you found my tips useful. Thank you!
are you filipino?
No, but I'm thinking about visiting sometime next year!
love ketchup bottle hack for oil. Been trying to figure out a good way. Thanks !
Glad you like it. I haven't tried it yet, but I saved another bottle for soy sauce. I don't know if it'll work as well since soy sauce might have salt crystalizing on the nozzle, but worth a try.
Thanks for sharing. Love learning new things from you. Hope you and your sister are doing well.
You are so welcome! I'm still learning new things myself from others, so if you have hacks/tips, feel free to share them.
Best review yet. Thank you!
Thank you!
I live in Whistler BC and I hang a trasharoo on the back if my overland trailer. We use industrial garbage bags but even those left smells behind. Both times while parked at home, two black bears ripped them apart just from the smells left behind. Its great at camp but take them off if you live in bear country like me.
1. Very jealous of where you live. 2. Thanks for confirming that they're not bear proof.
Good to see that smile!
😊👍
Great video. No filler of cooking breakfast or stupid music. To the point.
Glad you liked it! 😊
Loved this video… new subscriber 👍🇨🇦🍻
Awesome! Thank you!
Love it
Thank you!
I got my first flat on the Dempster 40 km north of the Arctic Circle in that sharp shale. I did not know the tire was going low because of the loose shale gravel but my motorcycle traction control was acting up. The motorcycle, Ducati 2013 1200 Multistrada GT, did not have tire sensors. I climbed a hill with the odd traction control kicking in. I crested the hill and rolled on the throttle. I reached about 90 kph when all of a sudden, the low tire blew out and instantly completely flat. The rear of the bike went hard right then hard left. I wrestled the bike under control and came to a safe stop. We had plugging materials for the tire but we had a catch 22. We could not set the bead to find the leak and we could not find the leak to set the bead. We tried a lot of things including a cinch strap. The added complexity was the rim took a standard 190 wide tire but I had a slightly narrower tire, a 180, because it was the only rear knobby I could find in nearly that size. The tire was brand new and installed in Whitehorse so about 800 km on it. I actually felt invincible until that exact moment. We tried a lot of things but no luck. A local stopped with a larger compressor and that did not work. He had a flat to repair also. So, at about 4 pm, we removed the wheel and my partner took it back to Eagle Plains to be repaired. He returned at 9 pm. And we were off. We made the Peel River ferry but had to stay there as we would not make the Mackenzie crossing. great video. Thanks. I also made an attempt in September 2018 and the colours were fantastic. It was like the tundra was on fire. A lot of the street view on Google of the Dempster were taken in the fall.
What a story, good thing you had a riding partner. I probably should have added another tip, that is to travel in small groups. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much for the informative video.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks!
A super thank you to you!
Good video, great editing. Now, you have me worried about Volta after watching your Volta video.
Thanks. If it makes you feel better, once my Volta recall was done, it's been almost 3 years and it has not had a single problem.
Holy Moly that was AMAZING!! Loved the fall colors, do you remember what month you were here? I am inspired to one day go at the same time :-)
It was either the last week of August or the first week of September. There’s also a bit of luck involved as the color peaks at different times each year and north peaks sooner than the south.
What’s inspiration!! PLEASE more!!
Working on another one, should be coming soon. :)
Thank you for the update. I saw this video today and just booked a “stage 4 topo” install on my brand new Transit350HD from OV Nor Cal based on your level of satisfaction.
Your welcome. I hope your installation went well.
I live near the base of the Dempster Highway. I have always been curious as which was actually best to drive, the Dalton or the Dempster. My gut feel was the Dempster is a better drive being wilder, longer, and suited for regular vehicles rather than big trucks. I was worried that I was biased because I live here! I liked hearing from someone who has done both.
Officially, I must say this is purely based on personal preferences and both roads are great! Between you and I...yup, you guys have the better road. 😂
Can you share your GPX on the easier way back
I'll look for it when I get home. Send me your email from IG or pengshi.com and I'll email it to you.
Nice video ! Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Excellent, excellent, excellent! Thank you for this, Mr. Addict.
Thank you! Glad you liked it. 😀
What's hanging from the grizzlies arse @ 15:24 ?
Ha, do you really want to know? It cannot be unread.
Minor: I’ve heard 2different vids so far pronounce the destination wrong?- it is TUK TOY UK TUK. Otherwise: GREAT vid. Lots of good info. Plan to motorcycle there in July. Love your photo scenics…
Thanks for the info!
Hello Where did you bought this kit? Can you send link to buy this kit? Thx
Sorry, just saw this. Here you go. agileoffroad.com/product/agile-oversized-spare-tire-basket-kit-sprinter/
Thanks a lot! you can see very clear the space capacity.
Thanks!
Great video. What size tire did you put into the basket?
I believe 265/60R/18. So same diameter as standard tire, but wider, so the standard basket won't fit. You'll need additional modifications if you have bigger diameter tires as I've mentioned in the video.
Awesome
Thank you!
hey lets use really sharp shale for the road. and make sure the diesel adapter is not a standard issue item. on another note you made a great video. very informative and right to the point.
Haha, that's what I said about the shale road. But I think they have to use what they got nearby. It would probably be too expensive to haul in gravel from hundreds of kilometers away.
Your video on the Dempster was, by far, the most informative and useful of any I've seen. I have been thinking about the Dempster since acquiring my Storyteller LT. I drove the Dalton years ago and loved it.
Do it! There are fewer trucks, you'll love it even more than Dalton!
I'm on the fence about it. Most videos include at least one disconcerting event/breakdown. You were lucky not to have a 30 day delay. I'd be anxious the whole trip. I know the Storyteller is capable but I'm reluctant to beat it up.
Thank you for the tips. I'm planning to do a road trip to Dead Horse Alaska sometime this summer or next summer. Subscribe.
Very cool! Hope you enjoy your trip!
I'm not a professional mechanic either, but I've been working on cars for about 40 years now. Gummout products are good, no particular need to change brands. Stop by Harbor Freight, Northern Tools, Tractor Supply or similar and get a magnetic parts bowl. That will be much better than the plastic box for holding bolts. Thanks for the video!!
I didn't know there's such a thing as magnetic parts bowl! Shows you how much I work on my own cars, lol. Thank you for the tip!
Are there lot of places to boondock? On google maps I don't see many side roads or turnoffs you can take off the highway.
Yes, plenty of places. Worst case, you can pull into a gravel storage area for the road maintenance crew, they have those every few miles.
Eagle planes campground, on the end of the motel/hotel building close to the campground, they had an outside water spigot, which we used in 2019.
Thanks! I totally forgot to mention that one!
Sea of clouds. Wow
I'm not sure how rare it is to see this, but I felt pretty lucky. :)
Hi this was very good. I've seen a bunch of videos regarding these drives and your's was the best! One thing I hear over and over is "slow down" what does that mean in mph? Safe and wonderful journeys!
Thank you, glad you found it helpful. Slow down is all relative and it depends on the road section. For example, the section that had really sharp rocks, with my set up (air down and soft suspension) I was going maybe 30-35mph. On a smooth, straight and wide section outside Inuvik with almost no traffic, I got up to 55mph. I think once you're on the road, you'll figure it out. Just remember, slowing down may take you an extra hour to get somewhere, but it's still faster than sliding off the road or hitting a moose because you couldn't stop in time.
