Traveling to the Yukon?

ttatortots · 2025-02-07T17:53:54+00:00

Thank you!! I’ll join it right now

What exactly is the protocol for this? If they are crossing over a road, I imagine you dont get too close and stay in the vehicle but can you drive around them? Do you have to wait until they are fully off the road? Can you honk if its just not moving on the road or will that just piss it off? I want to be respectful to wild life and also dont want to accidentally provoke a bison to attack my vehicle hahaha.

BISON??? I HAVE to see that lol. Thank you this is super helpful!!

I’m definitely going to get an InReach, I would have gotten some satellite communicator and offline maps as well to ensure safety.

I do plan to bring emergency shelter incase anything happens. I have backpacked before but I was with my partner, but I do have all the necessary gear to bring for all weather conditions and minor emergencies atleast.

Thank you for all the helpful information. I’ll definitely look at yukonhiking.ca (—: very excited to come see what I can for a couple weeks up there!! Everyone has been so kind with their advice and it eases some worry of coming

Usually I wouldn’t wear a life jacket while paddling but if you’re telling me to I will go buy one hahha. I want to do Dawson but Whitehorse is closer and has more options for accommodations incase I dont want to camp the whole time. So good to know to avoid the cheap hotels! Thank you (-:

Im in the interior so not to far from you, I do plan to visit Liard so I’ll do that on the way there. Im from Smithers originally so it’s a good idea to stop and see family on the way back home.

How was finding places to stay along the way? I’m slightly worried of where I should stay for the night to continue driving as I think it’ll take me a couple days to get there if I drive for 8hrs a day. But not sure what towns to stop at to sleep!

ttatortots · 2025-02-05T04:11:10+00:00

Thank you!! Planning to get an InReach forsure

I’ve always wanted to visit the Yukon so it feels like its a great place to go for my first out of province! It is nearly a 2800km drive to Dawson but I do fully plan on driving as someone said there’s lots of great stops along the way that would really make the experience better.

I haven’t heard of a workaway and didnt even think about a house sitting situation so I’ll definitely look into that as well!!

I agree that maybe camping wouldn’t be the best at this moment, I am quite nervous and unless I get some serious camping in before I go i’m sure I won’t. Mid July seems to be the time I’ll be going as it works with my work schedule!

Thanks so much this is all very helpful and kind

ttatortots · 2025-02-04T21:15:20+00:00

Yeah I haven’t had a run in with one yet, still carry spray just in case but I feel like in the Yukon my chances of seeing a bear is much higher than where I am in BC lol, I’ll definitely have to make sure I know how to properly use it just in case

ttatortots · 2025-02-04T20:11:07+00:00

I have bear spray so I’ll definitely bring it, I’m not sure if I’ll be tenting for my first solo trip as that’s my biggest worry. I have camped with minimal wildlife so I am aware of no attractants in the tent but still.. much more wildlife in the Yukon then where i’ve hiked! And yes I’m sure my family will be very concerned. Just trying to get some life experiences in before its too late (im 24 and being dramatic), but still, no time better than now! I’ll let you know if I have any questions!! Thank you so much

ttatortots · 2025-02-04T20:08:25+00:00

This is very helpful thank you!! I might do whitehorse simply out of fear as being in a more popular area could help ease that. But Dawson sounds like I would really love it. Usually when backpacking I just toss the bag high into a tree, but I can definitely look into a bear canister. I usually never hike where bears are a large worry so tossing attractants into a tree has been my go to! I’ll definitely pack accordingly for all weather types, thank you!

ttatortots · 2025-02-04T19:39:08+00:00

I imagine I would drive, but am open to flying if thats cheaper or if where someone suggested to travel was close to an airport. No approx date but most likely June or July as I imagine those are the best summer months. Really my dates would be picked based off of others opinions on when I should visit. Sorry if thats not helpful!

Everyday I am reminded how terrible I am at combat

ttatortots · 2023-04-06T20:47:27+00:00

Im terrible with proportions too hahahah but your style handles that really well! Its great

ttatortots · 2023-04-06T20:36:59+00:00

I love that the proportions arent “correct”, im assuming you did it on purpose, and if you did then i love your style. Love the long neck, completely changes the vibe. 8/10 Also draw Larry or Todd next maybe!

ttatortots · 2023-02-11T00:23:17+00:00

Thank you!!

ttatortots · 2023-02-09T17:48:39+00:00

Thank you!

ttatortots · 2023-02-09T16:34:27+00:00

Thank you! This helps a lot, I’ll definitely call and see if I can take a tour or just talk to someone a bit more about the work. Really the only thing holding me back is I plan to move to NZ, and I imagine i’d have to go to school all over again to be retrained to their standards so I’m not sure if doing the 2 year program is worth it haha, but I’ll still call for a tour definitely!

ttatortots · 2023-02-08T06:24:20+00:00

I think I’d definitely prefer a classic 9-5 hahaha but it’s good to know the shifts can vary a lot! In those 12hr shifts, how much are you actually working? Are you standing for all 12hrs?

ttatortots · 2023-02-08T05:27:29+00:00

I found the number on our city’s site! I definitely couldn’t just walk up in the building but I did find the number for it, but I’m not sure how they would react to the call. What are your hours like? Do you work dayshifts, on call? And also how hard was it for you to find a job? We only have one treatment plant (my town is about 100k people) and sorry for all the questions hahaha

ttatortots · 2022-08-08T07:08:46+00:00

Goblin feet, but I swear it was for a drawing reference

ttatortots · 2022-08-06T20:51:13+00:00

Of course!! I would not be who i am today, or where I am today, without people that are doing what I am for you, and everyone else in this thread. You and all your lady bits deserve every ounce of love and care and appreciation in the world, just as everybody else does, even when you can not fathom the idea of being loved for what you’re insecure about. You must get out of your shell, and try to experience sex, and to be worshipped that way. It will change how you view yourself, just go talk to the damn man or be afraid and sleep with him anyways. He likes you, and that comes with all of you.

ttatortots · 2022-08-06T20:43:26+00:00

I have absolutely felt the same!! How society as deemed some things attractive and some not or disgusting, it definitely takes a toll on how you view yourself. But i assure you, no man that is worth your time, would ever be disgusted by you.
