Dempster - its the Dempster I'll be taking.
There is NO ferry from Vancouver - thanks for the correction. I know how I made the mistake - it was a third party travel app and I did not read it fully.
So, with this new information I'll start looking at how to make this happen. Back to the first plan I had. I don't want to ride across Canada again on my bike. Got a friend heading west and the bike will be loaded on his truck. Then maybe I just ride north....but there's fires...so things may get interesting or impossible.
Sorry for the poor post. Will sleep on this and look again in detail tomorrow. Start planning. And thanks again for the corrections.

Yes ferry is from Washington state (Bellingham) and while I haven't taken it, I was told by those who had that it is the sh!t, blows seeng fjord in Norway out of cold water.
If you are going through Vancouver, you take Sea to Sky to Prince George, then go west and pick up Cassiar to Watson Lake. Alternatively there are ferries to get to Prince Rupert and get to Cassiar from the west.
TKC80 rear won't last long enough for this trip. You want something longer listing, for example, K60 Scout, Mitas E-07 Dakar, Dunlop Mission, etc. TKC80 front will do or if you're getting Heidis get K60 Ranger front.
Dunlop Mission front also an option though it won't be my favorite, as well as Shinko 705 would do as long as it doesn't get too bad.
Another good road to take on the way to Dempster is Cambell highway from Watson Lake to Carmack it cuts out busy Alcan section.
