Needing tire suggestions for a work truck

[JJEH]

I lived and traveled in some of the most remote places on earth where temperatures drop to -55. I still travel in those remote areas.

What are you doing there if you don't mind me asking? Photography? Hunting? Oil field? Explorers Club?

I have pictures of my outdoor thermometer here in Edmonton showing -50F, and it has been colder than that. It gets even colder further nort.

Between work, I had branches in Yellowknife, Inuvik, and Iqaluit, High Level, LaCrete, Ft. Vermilion, Hay River and a bunch more, that reported to me and that I travelled to regularly. Add to that hunting, fishing and just exploring we covered a ton of truly remote places. You will see a lot of really remote country even in the near north. From Edmonton north, across all of the provinces stretching east west, plus the old NWT lands and the Yukon there are less than 400,000 people. That is an area bigger than the continenetal U.S.A. The old NWT, which is the current NWT and Inuvik, has less than 75,000 people and 40,000 of those are in one city, Yellowknife.

In addition, there are large stretchs along the mountains and the Alberta, Sakatchewan borders that are very sparsely populated too.

Most anywhere more than 100 miles from Edmonton or Calgary is a bad place to break down. Until you travel these areas it is quite hard to envision just how far it can be even between occupied houses, let alone towns.

Pretty interesting, thank you for sharing.

I absolutely love remote; I just can't do the damn cold like you do

To put in further perspective, while Canada already has a significantly smaller population than the US, 70% of Canada's population lives south of the 49th parallel, aka the US/Canada border. As I have so artistically demonstrated in yellow:



That just goes to show how few people there are across the entire rest of the country, which is obviously the vast majority of total land mass.
