Nope. It means try to be what you want to be, as he did, but live your life, not Walter Mitty's. You want to be the next Lower 48 trucker to tackle the Dalton in my home state? Great! Do it. It's a road I've ridden in both directions. On a motorcycle. In good weather. I am absolutely sure I would not do it in a truck at -40F in reduced viz due to blowing snow. Those are mighty big mountains and there is a mighty big distance between anybody that can help you.
