If all we had to do, is watch brown bear and sea otters all day...this world would be a better place. Great fun in Alaska. Happy for you Shawn. You earned it. And earn it still. I thank you Shawn. Spreading the word...to watch both of the TH-cam channels. Love them here in Wisconsin.
Being an early riser has its benefits, such as exploring the town, harbor and rushing streams, while the rest of the populace is asleep. When you were exploring the shallow river with all the sandbars, I kept expecting to see a bear pop out of the brush for an early morning breakfast of salmon. Beauty of a salmon, all red in preparation for fertilizing the next generation, and then death. All in the scheme of life in nature at its rawest. I did notice that the guide carried a short barreled brush rifle, following the narrow paths where bears roam at will. Stay safe.
What a beautiful place. I know someone who had a grand adventure to Alaska last year. I think the place changes anyone who spends time there. Thank you for the gift.
My parents used to always rent cabins in Colorado. Many a morning I could remember getting up and before the trip to the outhouse I'd see my parents already fishing. About 8 A M my mom would come back to the cabin and fire up the wood cook stove and prepare breakfast. She even baked a cake in its oven once. Really brings back fond memories. Your videos of Alaska brought all that back. I got to get up there sometime. I never saw all that wildlife in Colorado. Not even a half as much. Next year... Take care and be safe. Vaughn
SO AWESOME SHAWN !!!!! YOU ARE a GRAND MENTOR for the young boys thats fighting their way through this troubled time in their life 😢 Some are without a father or grandfather to let them know that they are WORTHY and can enjoy hard work and the more simple things in life . ITS A HARD LESSON THAT MONEY CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS 💞💞💞💞
A joy to watch! Exactly what we need to recharge ourselves in this crazy world we live in today! Many thanks for all your hard work ... it is so appreciated!
Bonsoir ! Ah voilà la suite en vidéo, du périple "Alaska" c'est immense comme contrée, et rude !Oh! La belle pièce de Saumon et la couleur !!magnifique !!ce sont les Ours bruns qui doivent se régaler !!! Beaucoup d'eau dans ces contrées froides, il ne vous manque que le ...soleil resplendissant et sa chaleur et un ciel bleu!!... et ce serait le Paradis sur terre !!!.. Merci pour ces belles photos ...à quand la suite ????
I spent 2 weeks in Alaska 5 years ago. I went all the way up to Denali National Park. I would do it again anytime. The animals and scenery were incredible! Have a good trip
Wow! That bear is huge and not afraid. I would be shaking! I wonder how close he is! The sceneries are beautiful Shawn! And that fish was scary but had beautiful color. Thank you for sharing!❤️❤️❤️
Who can sleep when my ears would be peeled for brown bears lurking about. Geese! My son just got back from a week in Alaska fishing. He said the bears didn't get him, and he caught a bunch of fish! Fun!
So addicted to your channel Sean! This footage is National Geographic worthy for sure! Too much talent for one gentleman! You're amazing! Bet your family is so proud of you & your humility! God bless you & yours! From Portland, OR🌲
Hello Shawn I just love watching your videos I know you’re enjoying yourself wish it was me I watch all your videos and everything you put on is very interesting you are so inspirational I am from Pennsylvania I hunt fish it is my life passion I haven’t hunted in a few years I am 72 years old my bucket list in the next year or two is to go out with my oldest son which is in his 30s he’s never hunted deer only small gain but we will do it also I want to say enjoy yourself you deserve it you put a lot into the cabin I just love watching what you do you were so great and what you do take care good luck and I’ll still be watching
How utterly jaw dropping Sir, to travel along with you on this epic adventure. Applauding your God-given gifts that allow you to share all that nature has to offer and more. I've been salmon fishing when they're heading up stream to spawn but that was in South Island of New Zealand ... the land of my birth. Now I'm enthralled with your Candanian/Alaskan adventures and expeditions from my home in Ipswich, Queensland, Australia; home now for 45 yrs. For someone who will NEVER get to travel again ,let al be explore , your You Tube videos are my constant companion. Looking forward to the rest of your Alaskan Adventures, stay safe and film your heart out Shaun. THANK YOU, your wife(she must be so proud of you & patient) , and these guys you're travelling with... blessings and peace out 😃🇦🇺
Most bears don't attack unless you surprise them or they have cubs. Sometimes Grizzlies may spot you and then circle back and come upon you from the back, if they are hungry. We Alaskans carry guns that will easily kill a grizz or black bear, so no worries. That Kaladi coffee is my favorite. That wasn't all fog. We had many forest fires burning around Alaska this summer. Great video Shawn.
Taking my breath away again so beautiful, you are doing so wonderful get you some rest to, love the water veiws and the bears and love them rocks,cant wait to see the next one.
Hope nobody slips and drops the camera equipment. Can’t imagine carrying all that gear and walking those trails. I appreciate all the hard work that goes into making these videos. Thanks😘
I LOVE Seward. Terrific little town. I see you also went on the Kensington. Wish I knew ahead. One of my son-in-laws has a resort right on the Kensington & also owns Mossy’s Fly Shop. Hope you enjoyed. I’m new to your sight so still learning your story. You seem like a principled man. Those are extinct now days. Your wife must be very proud of her husband. Blessings to you & your family.
Soo Glad you got to see the Sockeye run , a truly incredible species of the Salmon Family , the Fastest the best eating and most colorful. IMHO .. Kudos . Thank you for your Videos .
Beautiful country. The waterways there are breathtaking. I really enjoyed your fly fishing. Watching your casting brought back beautiful memories of my Dad in the Yellowstone areas.
Another great video Shawn. I’m definitely not watching your videos in order . I just found your channel about week or so and I just love coming along on your journeys. The first video I came across of yours you were giving relationship and marriage advice as well as financial. That was about the best advice I’d ever heard. I was hooked after that lol I can’t sleep tonight for some reason so I found myself looking for your videos. What a beautiful place you guys are visiting. I’m a lover of fishing and hunting. Thanks for teaching me so much on your videos. You have a lovely family. Wishing you well from Louisiana
Every Summer I love to make the run to the Kenai and Russian River to fish for Reds. So many people though and don’t really like the Combat Fishing. I usually get my limit of 3 (or 6 depending if AKF&G up the limit) and leave but Gwins has great Burgers IMO
Holy cow. I've been watching my self-reliance for a while and just found this channel. I was working at Gwin's when you visited and distinctly remember you. Bryan from the video is a good friend of mine. What a small world. Hope you enjoyed your stay! Gwin's is one of my favorite places in this world.
I've been telling Alicia for years, probably since we met, that I'm drawn to the sea. Those shots at the beginning with the boats were my favourite. A few years ago we rented a sailboat in St. Vincent and sailed the islands for a week. Best vacation ever. We want to do it again in the next year or two. Being on a rolling sailboat as the swells come in from the Atlantic is thrilling.
OH MY GOSH, YOU BRING ME BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD WITH THESE BEAUTIFUL SCENES, I REMEMBER LAYING IN THE LIVING ROOM IN FRONT OF THE TV ON MY BELLY WITH MY HANDS UNDER MY CHIN HOLDING UP MY HEAD WATCHING "MUTUAL OMAHA'S WILD KINGDOM" JUST LOVING NATURE AND THE ANIMALS❤ THINKING WHEN IM A BIG GIRL I WOULD LIVE LIKE THE "WILDERNESS FAMILY". WANTING TO BE THERE.... I'M STILL WANTING❤. (ALWAYS WATCHED GRIZZLY ADAMS TOO)
Eating breakfast out of my BSR skillet & watching another great episode of the Alaska trip. Maybe one day I will get there, but for now, this is the next best thing.
I am enjoying this adventure pretending i am there as well, beautiful footage of the landscape and wildlife , Otters are so cute . nice salmon, I think if i was walking that trail i would have been making some kinda noise , but who am i to say , looked like good bear territory for sure, Holy crap that was a large brown bear
making me excited for my trip Seward in a couple weeks for the Silver Salmon Derby. Glad to see Gwin's Lodge too! So many childhood memories of stopping off there for some treats before hitting the river. My Dad knew the owners at the time so we'd be all ready to fish and he'd be swapping stories making us wait =P
Another gorgeous video. Some of this reminds me of one of my favorite movies, "A River Runs Through It". Fly fishing is almost hypnotic to watch for me. Thanks for taking us along with you. Looking forward to the next episode.
AWESOME VIDEOS! Keep up the GREAT photos of beautiful scenery in the land of the midnight sun... THANK YOU so much for your expertise in ALL that you & the others in the group do .
Hi again! Beautiful vid Shawn even though it's cloudy. Amazing salmon and I omgd when you threw that beauty back! Was a perfect dinner! Happy you're taking a break for some fun with no work. That's just waiting for you. Stay safe and take in all of Alaska's beauty!!!
Elizabeth, L. Johnson said, Where's the sunshine? Like your videos from Alaska! Gorgeous country! Amazing footage, especially of the different cabins! Glad you had this opportunity! God bless!
Look like you had a great time. I went to Alaska when my son married a local. It was not on my bucket list of places to go. It is on my go back too list now. We rented a car and got lost on purpose even if you are not a hunting and fishing kind of person(I am not- but I do like to eat them) there is so much to do. Pan for gold hike some great trails. Even some great shopping in some places where there is no sales tax lol. So for others widen your bucket list to places you may not think are for you
It is so beautiful up there with everything it is a life 24/7 the sounds smells stay with you all of your life when living up or visiting in that area!!
Great video. Really liked the drone and underwater footage. Watching you move along the trails really gives the viewer a feel of what it’s like to be in the wilderness of Alaska. Great job capturing it.
I think it might take a bit of getting used to with so much daylight in summer. That was a great looking fish caught loved the underwater footage. Thanks for sharing.
How do you do this? I know a lot of others have said this, too, but I really feel like I was hiking that trail where the bears are known to be, and fishing for sockeye--I admire the gentle way you release them. They've fought their way to that place, and deserve some gentle respect. Oh wow, that last shot of the brown bear (we call them grizzly bears, which can be a whole lot more temperamental than black bears)....that made me nervous! You can calm, soothe, excite, awe, so many emotions with your camera and the shots you choose. I admire you, Sir.
I watched both videos from Alaska. They are great! This one, I wondered about the animals in the water, are they Otters? Just curious. I loved the beauty of Alaska, the mountains, the lakes the forest the flowers all the greenery. I will remember this for a long time, This winter I will savor the memory of it all and watch it if you still have it on your channel. Thanks Shawn for letting me enjoy Alaska with you.
Good Sunday Shawn & Cali🐕! Thank you for the beautiful video! This video of the sceneries of the mountains, creeks, rivers and lakes reminded me of the place where I was born!👍😄🏞🎣
Thanks Shawn.Most people dream of what you're doing! I post your Alaska adventures on my Facebook page. Got a huge response from Germany, Poland, Sweden and also Tbilisi - Georgia believe it or not. My daughter and husband will spend next year 4 weeks in Bear country. x
Good looking harbor there in Seward. Interesting watershed, with smooth, tumbled river rocks and scattered gravel bars. Love the sounds, and always appreciate the drone footage!
Wonderful footage .... yep .... if you can walk there, a bear definitely can. I remember a deep canyon in Utah that I had fished far back into. I ended up going up the wall on a precarious trail at best. Many years later I thought about that "trail" and how me being able to crawl out of the canyon there meant that so could the mountain lions that inhabit that area .... I could imagine one saying to itself .... here comes lunch ~8^) The other thing I discovered was that it starts getting dark earlier down in those narrow places heh heh. Take care .... looking forward to seeing the rest of your adventure.
I love following these video's, I can't wait for the next one, so exhilarating, I feel I am on this trip to. I see you catch and release salmon, do you bring any back to eat? I imagine that fish would taste amazing, my uncle and I use to cook the salmon we caught over our campfire, a memory and taste I will never forget.
Tip when fishing for salmon in water running that fast, coho fly on the end of a minimum of 20lb leader and 16" up use split shot lead weight abot 3/8 oz minimum to keep the fly on the bottom. The big reds you caught right at the end of this clip are spawned out and no good to eat. I never keep any salmon thats not bright silver. If they have any color but silver they are not too good to eat. I guided fishing on the Kenai peninsula for many years. There are 20 plus pound Rainbows all over where you were fishing. Can get you on those as well. Also have Steelhead in the kasilof River just South of the Kenai river on down towards Homer. Love you were filming in my back yard.
Just having my coffee here on a rainy Sunday here in Florida this is perfect! Nice vid Shawn as allways I really do need to get out more.... Thanks Shawn
Great video...brings back nice memories for me from a 2007 RV trip. We stayed in Moose Pass because Seward was filled up for the July 4th Mt Marathon foot race, which was quite a spectacle. Look forward to more of your Alaska videos.
Excellent video, as always ! Would love to have met you while you were here. Thank you for sharing your experiences, and inspiring so many others. Jim from Nikiski.
I enjoyed It very much. I see you caught some rare shots like the Bald Eagle and the other little pigeon or something cute. Love your travels, will continue to watch them all. Thank You.
im looking at a job in soldotna about 45 miles west of cooper landing so this is giving me a great idea of what i am looking at for the area at least in the summer

Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful out there next to that river with all those wonderful salmon ❤ love it there!
Boy, this is right up your alley Shawn. Beautiful filming as usual. Glad you are enjoying some of the beauty in the U.S. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for filming the otters! I could watch them for hours and never get tired of it....anxious for your next video!

Another gorgeous video. Some of this reminds me of one of my favorite movies, "A River Runs Through It". Fly fishing is almost hypnotic to watch for me. Thanks for taking us along with you. Looking forward to the next episode.
I was thinking the exact same thing while watching!! Great minds think alike

the way you have captured your daily experience has allowed us to experience it as if we were on the trip with you. on my bucket list for sure.
breathtaking nature, I can see why it was on your bucket list destinations Shawn

Breath taking! WORD TAKING!!Thank you!🌲🦅
Flying eagle and then the drone footage. Nice editing.
I can feel the cold, crisp air and the echoing of the boats acros that lake.
Thank you !
The ol' straddle-the-cam shot...noice. Thanks for bringing us along Shawn. Beautiful
Hard to imagine a Canadian with so much beautiful country opts to go to Alaska (USA) to want even more! You are living my dream.
It is so beautiful up there with everything it is a life 24/7 the sounds smells stay with you all of your life when living up or visiting in that area!!
Great video. Really liked the drone and underwater footage. Watching you move along the trails really gives the viewer a feel of what it’s like to be in the wilderness of Alaska. Great job capturing it.
Yah, you feel like your on the hike to, it's surreal and exciting.
Looks like a great time Shawn, glad you were able to make this trip.

YOU ARE AN IDIOT

Nat Geo, someone's nose is brown lmao
Nice salmon beautiful scenery
Прекрасное видео и природа, с удачным уловом.

That bear is going to catch and eat that gorgeous fish you just caught. Beautiful landscape, so peaceful.
Absolutely beautiful Shawn! But honestly I can see Cali on those beaches having a ball🏐 Glad your including on your adventure!!
Amazing place the view is so nice great place to explore nature.
Good looking harbor there in Seward. Interesting watershed, with smooth, tumbled river rocks and scattered gravel bars. Love the sounds, and always appreciate the drone footage!
Good work Shawn👍 A different ecosystem is a different way to look at life!
What spectacular footage! The trip of a lifetime!!🌲
Wonderful video! Your camera work is amazing! Nothing illustrates the struggle of life like the Salmon run!
Sure you cant wait to get back home and see Cali!

Great video...brings back nice memories for me from a 2007 RV trip. We stayed in Moose Pass because Seward was filled up for the July 4th Mt Marathon foot race, which was quite a spectacle. Look forward to more of your Alaska videos.
Really love to watch this adventure, great work and thanks for sharing Shawn.
Nice and tranquil you have a good life thanks for sharing.
Love the immense beauty of Alaska. Keep showing the wildlife, love it! Great to see the bald eagle as well. Have a great time. On to number #3 soon!
Excellent video, as always ! Would love to have met you while you were here. Thank you for sharing your experiences, and inspiring so many others. Jim from Nikiski.
I watch and enjoy all your work. Your “ artists eye” is excellent and makes your vids outstanding. 👍🏻
It's a beautiful country and wildlife in Alaska, excellent video Shawn.
I enjoyed It very much. I see you caught some rare shots like the Bald Eagle and the other little pigeon or something cute. Love your travels, will continue to watch them all. Thank You.
