@@LifestyleOverland be aware of your surroundings. Be aware of your scent take a big gun on Kodiak Island. A very big gun. Those are the largest bears in the world and also the most aggressive. Alaska is beautiful, but unforgiving you don’t often get second chances in Alaska.
Long time fan. At minute 16:56 roughly, complete the story of the cycle life. The seal was killed, how we do not know but assume, however; the circle of life happens. Still watching but needed to comment here.
I have a question. I noticed in the last episode when you were on the fairy when asked if you had any firearms, you said “no” but during the mile walk to check out the suspected whale bone, I noticed you had what looked like a gun with rounds on a sling? Just curious is all! Lol
Oh okay! Makes much more sense! Curiosity just got the best of me so I had to ask! Love the channel and content! Hope you and your family have very blessed and merry Christmas!
Dude. You might be careful with assumptions on how that seal died... In all our experiences with Alaska Natives and Indigenous cultures, never have we witnessed a complete disrespect towards wildlife and a food resource. Especially since so much of that seal could have been put to use. One other, equally if not more plausible, explanation is the seal was disrupting a commercial boat’s work and they shot it. There are good and respectful commercial boats, but there’s a lot of shady and cruel boats that completely disrespect nature and when you’re out to sea there are no laws, unless you get caught. I’m not trying to overly critique but with our local knowledge and my years as a captain, I think there could be another explanation. Thanks for the videos from Kodiak.
Definitely many possibilities and not enough time to list them all. I thought I was pretty clear on the fact it was unknown. These potential reasons were from the locals. Your suggestion was the last rumor I mentioned but it sounds like you assume I was directing blame to the natives. I was not. I began the conversation with the rules which mentioned them and legal means of taking them. Since you're also a TH-camr you probably understand that it's hard to give a long explanation in a shot segment and cover every possible misunderstanding.
@ no joke. The human brain can’t help but fill in the blanks between what is seen in brief clips on TH-cam. I just wanted to share local insight and other possibilities. Not being a Karen. lol As you’re seeing Alaska truly is the last frontier with a unique lawless wild west mentality. I was once stuck co-captaining a boat for a cross gulf passage and the two other crew members, which were new acquaintances, took pleasure throwing bait off the stern and shooting seagulls like clay pigeons, for hours. I had to look at the bigger picture of my own safety and didn’t get involved, because accidents happen…all the time… With commercial fishing there’s the short halibut that don’t get humanly released so when you catch one with a torn/scarred jaw it’s from an unprofessional long liner. The factory trawler processors are horrible to the fisheries with bycatch as well. Not to mention the unspeakable violence taken towards the onboard Fish and Game observers which can commonly be young females with marine biology degrees looking to get into the work force after college. I bet Craig has shared some wild stories from years of living there.
So... how do we feel about bears and camping?

I could only wish I was camping and saw bears, otters, eagles, and whales. You are living my dream. Thanks for bringing me along.
Thanks for riding along with us!
Awesome dads always find time to hang out and make cool memories with their kids.
We try!
I’m from Aberdeen, Wa and have lived in Arizona pretty much my entire life. I can say, watching the videos I really miss the gloomy weather.
Funny how that works, right?
Beautiful adventure moment. Logs and all! You guys handle the situations well and the world rewards ya for it! haha.

That Fox looked angry.
Wild looking, right? Those eyes...
😊💕
thats pretty funny. there was a dead whale a few hundred yards from that "whale bone"

It was in Craig's truck. I didn't bring any since I came through Canada 👍

Yeah that was not a shark
Let's hear your suggestion!
@ sharks don’t have bones. Sharks have cartilage instead of bone. My guess would be seal.
