Ice Road Truckers Then And Now – 2011 DVD Top-quality Free UK shipping

Step inside the world of the tough-as-nails truckers who risk peril every day to deliver heavy equipment to Canada’s frozen north. This fascinating DVD looks at the origins of one of the world’s most dangerous jobs that has provided heart-poundingaction over four unforgettable series of Ice Road Truckers. We reveal the geological history of the region, going back millions of years, and explore the origins of the indigenous Eskimos that have inhabited the land for centuries. In candid interviews, veteran drivers Hugh Rowland, Alex Debogorski and up-and-coming legend Jay Westgard, talk about the constant dangers of being an Ice Road Trucker. We also look at how the mines worked in the 1940s as opposed to the way they operate now and we meet the original Ice Road Trucker himself, John Denison. It was Denison’s pioneering vision, belief, bravery and ultimate willingness to prove that large loads could be hauled across frozen lakes on trucks that revolutionised the haulage industry in Northern Canada
