Episode 4: The Dempster, a Severed Toe, and Gilgamesh

In this episode, Micah and I start the Dempster Highway—our most ambitious attempt yet and a world-first! Along the way, we encounter the Epic of Gilgamesh and a traditional severed human toe in our whiskey cups.

The remote, arctic, 500-mile dirt Dempster Highway is infamous for being a challenge for gas and diesel vehicles. With our next charging stop a full 2km further than our projected range when we depart, we are noticeably anxious about our attempt to do this. No other Chevy Bolt has ever attempted this feat.
