Living in Beaver Creek, Yukon, involves a challenging routine for running errands, as trips to the nearest city require careful planning and preparation for extreme weather. Every 6-8 weeks, the author, along with their husband and dog, drive a 600-mile round trip to Whitehorse for groceries and medical appointments. They face harsh conditions like -40 degrees Fahrenheit and limited sunlight, necessitating overnight stays. Each trip involves warming up their vehicle, packing emergency gear, and ensuring efficiency during these long, arduous journeys through pristine wilderness.
In general, we try to be as efficient as possible when working with darkness and extremely cold temperatures.
This kind of cold can be hard on vehicles, so it's important that we let our truck warm up for a while before heading out.
