Why you both do not have triple the subscribers is beyond me. I'm mid 70's with a hip residue from a bad car/pedestrian accident decades ago so you do the walking for me now. We camp northern BC, Yukon and Northwest Territories yearly so I can still get out there, its the hiking I miss. You both fulfill that

Thank you, Thank you. I graduated from college in 1977, threw all that I owned in an old jeep and drove the Alcan to Anchorage. I worked at Providence Hospital for a year and tried to explore the area as much as possible. I made it to alot of the places you visited, but your hikes and commentary really went above and beyond my experiences. I spent a week camping out on the end of the Homer spit, and I still think Homer Alaska is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Thanks again for the nostalgia.

Love this. My first of three summers in AK, I brought shorts and no rain gear. TG for Fred Meyer. I had to buy layers, rain gear, rain boots, etc. Though it was often warm enough for short sleeves many days, it rained almost every afternoon. A couple of times it snowed in July. I spent my summers about 40 miles east of Fairbanks and about the same north of Delta Junction, dropped off by a bush plane into the wilderness, though there were hunting cabins. I’ve always wanted to go back and explore, yes, the places you can drive to and then hike, backpack or just be a tourist. Am taking notes.

BTW Starlink now works in Alaska 👍👏 We work full time 9-5 est job and must have good connection and we are thrilled that the coverage has been great. Our biggest challenge is finding a spot without Trees or mountains blocking GPS 😊 but we are in a 35' class A and have always found a good spot.

We are finally caught up with your videos! We just watched this one last night. We really enjoyed Alaska with you; you did a wonderful job! I loved these "favorites" to help us plan a trip if we get to that point! I could tell the weather wasn't the greatest but your videos still captured the beauty of the area! Weather can be such a big issue; we had some smoke which put a damper on our trip but we still got good pictures and on our last day in Glacier NP, it was the clearest and that's when I really took a lot of pictures. When you plan and plan and spend money, the last thing you want is smoke covering up the mountains! LOL We were on our own 2 week trip to Montana and enjoyed doing our own wildlife count (even doing the high 5's!): 2 Bears; 3 Eagles; 2 Moose; 1 Fox; 1 Osprey; 1 Hoary Marmot; 1 Woodpecker that put a show on for us; 2 Turkeys; 2 Mtn goats; Partridges; Hawk; deer; chipmunks and squirrel! lol We did make it to the Garnet Ghost/Mining Town - it was fun to be able to go into some of the buildings. After MT, we got covid, so we're getting caught up on life! Keep up the great work; looking forward to watching the Dawson City video!

The first hike is the advanced level for sure, but the end result is worth it! Hatcher Pass is in my back yard, it's right outside of Anchorage. There are parts of the Chugach Mountains that could be a national park. I have hiked to Glacier National Park and have noticed comparisons to the Chugach mountains. The vast mountains, valley and the snowy peaks are all here in your backyard. Just a short drive from Anchorage, Bear Valley is the gateway to these great vista views. Look down into the valley, towards Rabbit Lake with Suicide Peaks in the background. There are hidden hiking trails that follow the ridge-line up to get a grand view of these peaks. These trails are less traveled, no fee stations, just waiting for you to explore.

That is my concern about an Alaska trips. If you think you didn't scratch the surface at an 'effective month' most people are going to be challenged with 1-2 weeks!. So I can see sticking with one area. I may be cruising up in May (1 week) and then a week inland. I feel like it's a trip of epic sacrifices😁 Also the fact we really enjoyed the Canadian Rockies so it had some competition haha - so I am hoping it inspires!!!

I have been trying to get to Hatcher Pass for the past few weeks but got bronchitis and now the roads are closed for the winter because of the snow. I will definitely go next summer. I think I can still may go to the Lodge and have lunch or dinner though. 🍽

I chuckled at the mosquitoes in Minnesota comment. We are trying to visit a bunch of Minnesota State Parks and in Jluly we went to one north of St. Cloud and got 5 mins in and were swarmed and attacked by mosquitoes. It was AWFUL!!

Being from MN I would recommend visiting either the North Shore or the Southeast portion of the state. The Southeast because that area doesn't have a whole lot of standing water for the bugs to lay their eggs in; most of it is running. Plus there are caves for Bats and Bats eat biting bugs.

Really enjoy your videos. We are planning a trip to Alaska and this is very helpful. We live in central California very close to kings and sequoia national park. A really good but hard hike in our area in the Rae Lakes loop. That’s be a really good one to film. It’s a little over 40 miles. Free boondocking at our place if you’re ever in our area. We live in a little town called Squaw valley in Fresno county California. Kevin volkov

Doing a 1 way Cruise Trip from Whittier to Vancouver Flying into Anchorage. Leaving extra early (week or so) to experience more Alaska. Was thinking about Kenai Fjords...No longer thinking about it. You guys sealed the deal! Can't do strenuous hiking, but can do light to moderate 1 1/2 to 2 miles each way. Any suggestions. We don't subscribe very often, but excited to subscribe your channel! BTW....We're neighbors! San Antonio couple here! Hooray!

I’m interested in the condition of your RV. How did your van fare with the roads in Alaska and the Yukon? Dents from rocks? One hears that it is not IF your windshield cracks but WHEN.

On more than 1000 miles of dirt/gravel roads during our entire time in Alaska and Canada we got one crack in the windshield…and it was on a paved highway 😂 Other than that the van was amazing!

That was great! Thank you! I am in the process of planning my trip and I am torn between just growing with the flow (going to a place and if we like it staying longer etc) and planning it fully out. Did you pre book camp sites or did you find most had availability and you could just show up?

Hey William! We boondocked the majority of our time in Alaska so the only campground we booked was the Teklanika River Campground in Denali. For that one you definitely need to book in advance and understand the quirks about it. It's not your typical campground. Other than that we stayed at the city campground in Wasilla for a bit and it had availability and the rest of the time we boondocked. Hope that helps!
