Assuming your vehicle got around 25mpg you spent about $8000 CAD on gasoline over those 50,000km of driving. Where did that money come from?
How much did your legally required car insurance cost? The median rate seems to be around $200 a month from a quick google.
Just adding in the most modest vehicle completely destroys the author’s budget.
I believe your reality, but I don’t believe in the amount you are romanticizing it. If it is so amazing why are you not doing it anymore? Because you just told me there’s no need for internet out there because it’s so jaw-dropping amazing, you wouldn’t spend any time on the internet arguing with a loser like me?

Vehicle got 32-35 mpg. 1.8ltr 4 cyl with selectable 4x4. I had a job.

$550 a year.

Double the authors budget and you live a wicked life and don’t have to work much. I’m talking about living in the most jaw dropping landscapes many people see in their entire lives.

I didn’t say it was perfect, but a heck of an adventure and totally doable.
I left to drive around Africa for three years. Bigger adventure.

I’m not arguing, and you’re not a loser. I’m adding information from my own first hand experience, rather than assumptions and guesswork.
Cooking a huge moose roast is very cheap when you shot and butchered it yourself. (Rifle was $250)
The bike I rode to work everyday cost me a case of beer.
The car I drove 50,000km all over Yukon and AK , into the arctic circle a dozen+ times was $450. Registration was $13 a year.
If you think you need internet and tv for entertainment, go live in the Yukon. You’ll be so busy doing unreal stuff you won’t have time to sit inside.
Some people just don’t believe reality.
