Deadhorse / Prudhoe Bay, Arctic Alaska. Remote oilfield camp in winter, with lows below -40deg. [4K]

Could a motorbike be shipped out, back to home?

hold on... What's this about a 'grim demise' if the face is covered ????

Miss that place I did 2wks on 2wks off worked for Veco Alaska back then 2006 welder helper stayed at dead horse then end up staying at Melanie point would love to go back work out there

I just shot a goose banded in dead horse...and I’m 4300 miles away....had to see where he came from...amazing!

I'm planning on driving there In July 2023 from New Jersey visiting many places on the way. I assume the weather is much better in the summer. I want to visit the northernmost point of the US accessible by car.

I have worked up in Prudhoe Bay for nearly 30 years. No sane person would skimming the area…

Spent a few weeks up there Dec 2022 , Tri-State oil Tools

Where is my icecremre ?

Hop-e you know that there is more oil there than any place on earth

"PANAMA RELOCATI ON TOURS!! WITH JACKIE!!🙋 😊 👍❤️👈"

what certifications do i need to be a roustabout

Thank you for calling Anchorage the capital

"Ironically, the oil cannot be refined on site" It used to be, to a degree. There used to be a small single product refinery called a "topping plant" which produced Diesel fuel for local use. When Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel was mandated, the plant could not produce that product, and couldn't be economically upgraded to do so. So now, all diesel fuel used on the slope is trucked up from (I think) Valdez.

Excellent

Wait in Europe you pay 100% more than Deadhorse? Last time I was up there diesel was almost 8$ per gallon, that's 2 euros per liter.

Great video. I was there in Oct 2022 and again in Feb 2023. Oct we saw the Northern Lights (on my bucket list). Feb it was -30F with -60F wind chill. The wind cut hard. Nothing to stop it. Wish I had more time up there to explore more. We were pretty much tied to the Brooks Camp and the Aurora mess hall. Everyone was great. The General Store was fantastic. Yes, I mailed myself a postcard!

Arctic fox live there

"It's cold in Deadhorse."

I love it. 🙂

I know yall may not like this question... but please understand that its necessary that i ask this. I apologize but i really need to ask.
Are there any black people that work there? If so...can any recall if they spoke on how they felt being their?

I’m 19 and going In January to work I’m excited!! I’ll be baking the roads so the oilfield guys can travel

what a name for a place to live or even reside in - Deadhorse

I worked in a nearby camp for 4 years. We ate nothing but bacon, eggs, steak, shrimp, corn, cheese, butter, hambugarm, cheese, butter, hotdog

How the fuck did my ancestors live up there

Also, the inop drill rig you called a well isn’t. It’s a drill Derrick that’s transported to the site and put into operation. You need to prep better.

I have several t-shirts from Deadhorse but they're getting old, so I wouldn't send back any new extra large ones you sent me :) I am small but I love the shirts to be swimmy

1st off Anchorage is NOT the Capital dude!! second off Prudhoe Bay is one thing and where I worked for 5 years in the Bering Sea @ Minus 95 is another thing!! Your North Slope be over taken soon by the hugest oil find YET! More Than what the Pipeline has sent to this day!! just watch the next year or 2 hahaha! Also to Note the only way in and out is WHAT??? NOPE again dude sorry, try Helicopter, Hover Craft, Boat and Barges, Ice Road Trucks and Snow Cats etc!

I discovered Deadhorse while looking up light pollution for nighttime photography (I’m in Buffalo, NY). I got curious and zoomed out, wanting to see just how much brighter the larger cities of Chicago, Philly, NYC etc looked… then zoomed out more and discovered that something at the top of Alaska was the largest and brightest in North America. It’s the oil fields and Deadhorse. Literally dwarfs major cities at night. I’m astounded. Been binge watching videos ever since.

A you tuber who doesn't know Alaska but thinks he does!!

Dam what would we do without brits who go places, read pamphlets, get what their reading wrong but keep talking and talking and talking and talking and talking and................................................................................................................................ing

The worst of all of the visitors to Dead-horse come in those airplane thingees.

I worked at Deadhorse for almost 10 years in the 70's and 80's my family and I lived in Anchorage. I remember having to change some outside lights for safety reasons and the chill factor was about -130 this day, we tried to avoid working outside when the chill got to -100. One of the cool parts of the job was when I had to drive on the sea ice to get to the drilling islands, basically no noise except for the sound of the engine.

FJB

yeah, I dont see any global warming/climate change.

Very interesting video! 👍👍

How does one go about finding an oil field job there I wonder?

It's cold in Deadhorse, which is the reason for the dead horse.😀
Free information here: the Sag R.'s full name is Sagavanirktok River = sag-vah-NICK-tuke (rhymes with ‘Luke’)

It’s like the parallel version of Rust map from cod

Bro I’m here because I literally start work in the camp Monday 😅

It's crazy how this place and Hawaii are apart of the same country

😢😢😢

How long does it take the mechanics to start the Diesel Trucks that have been sitting outside for days and weeks at a time? They need to warm the fuel and oils up first to even attempt to crank the engine.

Awesome video. I had no idea that this place even existed. Looks fun to visit for a few days or so.

I miss this state good ole 907

Spent 10 years from 1983 to 1993. Everyone watches in aw of driving on the Arctic offshore waters, way before the TV show Ice Road Truckers. The show was fake compared to to what it was really. Scientists from California every winter to measure the thickness of the ice. I was a supervisor and led 6 semi trucks on ice to artificial islands. In spring my crew partner and I caught a tug boat to retrieve equipment. Before the Deadhorse General store was called Childs general store. Everything you’d ever need plus the post office was there. During days doing shop work my buddy and I slipped to get a soda and flirt with girls. In February 1984 I caught helicopter to the CIDS platform, the first American offshore. Got me a CIDS coffee cup. The cook grab while you can. The CIDS platform was made in Japan and it took 5 ships to bring the platform to the Beaufort Sea. I still have the coffee cup which I used a Sharpie to note the day and years. I don’t drink out that cup. The Deadhorse trading post carried North Slope arctic clothes, boots, tools and also had a section for sex toys, porno videos and movie videos. Native art, I have walrus tusk craving, a whale breaching, a native customary kayak, an exact copy of a real kayak. The skin on the kayak was made walrus belly stretched over a wooden frame. I have a doll of an Eskimo mother holding a baby. The woman who made them has art work at the Smithsonian museum. Things were different back then, no security check of suitcases. I has Nalgene containers to pour Crown Royal whiskey. Never got caught. And every once in a while prostitution was available from women bought a one way ticket to Deadhorse. They made bank in 4 or 5 bought a ticket back to Anchorage. Ratio of women to men, 2000 plus men and 200 women. Some worked in the oilfields while most were what was known as bullcook. They didn’t but wash our bedding, clean our rooms and kept the bathroom pristine. It’s been almost 40 years since I left. I made tons of money decided to go to college and got Master degree in Social work. I work as a therapist for male juveniles who committed felonies and/or gang members. I worked with teenage mother and had the child with them. Also teen girls who were pregnant. I worked at Corcoran State Prison on the highest level with riots gang against gang. I enjoyed working with the inmates. The prison guards are borderline criminals. I made good money but hated the guards. I had group therapy with the Crips and bloods. They told me if anything went down while was on the level 4, they had my back. Guards if not the guard job they’d be flipping burger or cleaning toilets. The reason I mention that I worked some best working Prudhoe Bay. Deadhorse is where all independent contractors camps were and Alaskan Airlines airport. Prudhoe Bay was about 8 to 10 miles away. There were security guard at Prudhoe Bay were alerted to possible terrorist activity in Prudhoe Bay and the pipeline all the way to Valdez Alaska. 1991, I think when Valdez caused the biggest oil spill. Love and miss Alaska.

The capital of Alaska is Juneau NOT Anchorage moron.

WAIT. Why did he say you can't cover your face in the cold for a few days or you will die??? Can someone explain??

Thank you to those who pointed out that Anchorage, whilst the largest city in Alaska, isn't in fact the capital.
