    In 95 my cousin and I did 5 week trip to the The Sagwon River east of the Brooks range for caribou then went west of the Brooks range to Coldfoot jumped into the river went down river for moose and wolf. Our trip turned out very adventurous, sunk boats, lost gear and struggled to stay alive. What a carichtor building time. I lost 42 lbs on that trip. The Lord Blessed us and brought us back home again. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing. You were very blessed on this adventure to. I could have never let go of anybody either it is how we are wired.

    Thank you Billy for such great videos. Thanks for sharing the great adventures of Alaska. I'm 77 and still hoping I am able and can get a hunt with you yet.
    I have watched every video you have put out. I have a few medical problems to get over, but I will come to you just for the scenery & pictures even if in a wheelchair. God Bless Everybody....I send Love & Light for All I AM LIGHT, I AM LOVE, I AM TRUTH, I AM !! A Spiritual Being in a Human Experience !!

    I’m so moved and inspired by the moral character of every person involved in this multiple life changing experience. From the single mom raising four young children after the tragic death of her husband to the hunters overcoming their own demons and of course the heroically humble guide . I have had the misfortune to be the last face seen by someone after a tragic, fatal event and have also been blessed to have been at the right place and time for god to work through me to help save another. I pray that I can continue to surround myself with such exemplary men and women such as these and others. So much to learn and emulate. Thanks for the opportunity to comment. God bless you all .

    Thank you MDMM Billy M, for sharing these on you tube. It’s the only way I will ever get to see the side of Alaska, that interest me s a hunter and outdoors man, as it should be instead of a show on tv that only shows the good of a hunt. Billy M MDMM is the kind of man that helps hold this world together ( thank you and god bless you all) 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸

    Incredible story and thanks for sharing Billy. You’re words about facing fear are so true - I can’t believe how long in life it took me to figure that out - but I’m grateful I have. Every time we look fear in the face we grow - and you said it best - if we’re not growing, we’re dying. Better to life 30 years of adventure than 100 years safe in a corner.

    Don, man, I am so utterly proud of you, stepping into that river, knowing you might not come out the other side, that had to be horrifying. On top of everything, you lost your 270!!! I have a 270, a Rem model 700BDL. I have hunted whitetail with it since 1969, killed over 50 deer since way back then. If I lost it would be awful, but your attitude was "I can buy another rifle" so proud of you Don, you are the man. Billy, proud of you too, thank you for keeping your guys safe. My heart was in my throat living this hunt through this video, thank you Billy for documenting and sharing with us all. Jay from Pa.

    last time I went caribou hunting it changed my life also. I left wasilla around 0300, got to Cantwell a couple hours later and stopped at the Chevron for a last coffee and fuel up. My teenage daughter was with me and decided to get the Bomb burrito. Back on the Denali Hwy and an hour later she shit her pants... Changed my life forever. She stunk so bad I started gagging and ended up puking all over the side of the truck... I will never eat or allow a passenger to eat a Bomb burrito before a bumpy trip. After she changed her clothes we shot our caribou just off the road within the hour. We were back to Wasilla that night. The Bomb almost ruined the trip.

    I was wondering Billy if you had any knowledge that Don could not swim...and even Don admitted.... he was out of shape...with asthma...If you had know these things...would you perhaps persuaded Don to perhaps put off the trip for a while until he was in shape?? Now do you do anything differently when booking future trips like asking if they can swim? because you could be crossing rivers?? In camp do you practice with the hunters releasing the packs quickly?? Would you take a hunter who has asthma on those kind of long hunts again?....after all it is your life on the line as well as the hunters...God Bless you and all hunters....
