πŸ’‘Budget Notes
πŸ’΅ Cash to Carry

Carry $500+ CAD and $300+ USD cash. Remote campgrounds, fuel stations, and Hyder (BC/US border town) often prefer cash.

β›½ Fuel Costs

Yukon fuel ~$2.00–2.50 CAD/L. Budget $300–500 CAD for Phase 2 driving (Whitehorseβ†’Dawsonβ†’Tombstoneβ†’back).

🍽️ Food Budget

Remote areas have few restaurants. Stock up in Whitehorse and Dawson. Budget ~$150–200/day for family meals.

🐻 Bear Spray

Cannot fly with it. Buy in Whitehorse: Counter Assault or UDAP ~$50–60 CAD each. Buy 2+ on arrival.

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Currency

Phase 1 (Alaska): USD. Phase 2 (Yukon/BC): CAD. Vancouver: CAD. Cards work most places in cities.

πŸ“± Starlink

Consider Starlink Roam portable rental for Phase 2. ~$150/month. Invaluable for navigation and communication on the Dempster.
