I have said it before and ill say it again you guys are absolutely awesome film
Makers and this deserves a place on something like Nat Geo. We have fully fallen in love with those stunning bears, Thank you so very much MAK and Owen for taking us along for the journey 🧡🧡🧡
Thank you so much. My heart is melting reading your kind comment! It was a pure labor of love! Such cool animals, I just can't get over them!
I think this was my favorite one yet. Loved, loved, loved the bears!
It's ours too. There was a lot of love that went into this episode.
The Chonks!! And the little babes. You guys did an amazing job at capturing the magic of Brooks Falls. So glad you were able to show us the valley of 10,000 smokes from the air.
Thanks so much guys! WOW it was just such a special place. As people who have seen it, glad you feel we captured it well ;)
This is my favorite episode by you guys yet. Stunning visuals interlaced with your insight brings a unique perspective to this magical place. Coupled with your editing skills, this is a masterpiece.
"That will not be the last time we lay eyes on the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, mark my words"
I was told by a good friend before my first trip to Alaska I'd "gotta go back". Oh was he so right! I've been back many times, and I'm beginning to finally realize it's Alaska that never leaves you.
Simply beautiful episode, well done!
Its our favorite thus far too! Thank you so much for the kind words. This place really struck a cord with us. We will be back, as you well know, it's almost required of us now!
You made my day. All season long I watched for 57 on the bear cams and was a little concerned when I didn't see her. You caught her at 16:13. Thank you!
57 is very popular! But we are so glad to have given you a little something special today!
@@BoundForNowhere 57 has a big personality and loves to play. I think she'll make a really great mom some day. Thanks so much for this wonderful video.
This is dope
Thank you so much!
Words are hard to come, but it is always felt in the heart. Tears well up with the beauty. This series needs to be on a bigger platform.
That is so kind of you to say. We were so excited for this episode to see the light of day!
This is better than National Geographic!
Making me blush over here!
WOW!! I feel like I gain 3 lbs just eating pizza. Great video. Thanks again.
HAHAH Imagine what you could do with this much salmon?!
VISUALLY STUNNING AND MESMERIZING
🥰 thank you so much
Unreal. If that wasn’t a master class in nature travel vlog then I don’t know what is. You could give David Attenborough a run for his money with this episode. Just spectacular.
Pardon me while I go dry off the liquid that is leaking from my eyes now.❤️
Ok by far best episode ever next to the episode where you beat Jorge in running race!😬kudos!
HAHA I agree ;) This is something we made though, so I will say it's our best work. That other video was made by Jorge!
I’ve watched this episode twice now, and even though I knew it was coming, I again cried with you on the plane, MAK. You need to include a trigger warning on episodes where you tear up just due to the sheer beauty of a place. 🥲 Also, the airport parking shuttle bus read “out of service”, making me think you had to convince the driver to let you get on, because you needed the shot for the vlog. 😄 Thank you, shuttle bus driver.
HA. Sorry, I have a knack for injecting my emotions that no one asked for at random ;) And there was so no convincing the driver to stop there. We were worried while we were sitting there that no one would come because that sign was there. But turns out you just have to call the bus driver to tell them you are there rather than them just stopping by on a schedule which was why the sign was there
Mak, you, Owen and your channel are the new National Geographic. You got my feels going during your plane ride. The rest of your video was the icing on the cake. Thank you for you great content. 😻🤗
You are so sweet! Thank you so much for watching!
1. Slow mo propeller
2. The snorkeling bears
3. Seeing places I didn’t know exist
Thank you! This one was really stunning 😍
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is my paradise.
It’s mine too ❤️
Oh my goodness! This is my dream! I have been watching the bear cams for 5 years now and must say you captured the essence of awe, beauty and wonder of Katmai I have only imagined it to be. The close ups of the littles and bigs, mamas and yearlings is always special on the bear cams but your story telling, coupled with the overwhelment of the moment made this extra special. Oh, The Land of 10, 000 Smokes!!!! Oh my goodness! The geology! Who knew….I have only seen images of a bus or truck that heads out that way…who knew how breathtaking it is! I cannot wait to go….It is on my bucket list…My sistah and I will one day stand on those bridges and experience the awe in person. Thank you for the creative gift of you two and sharing the gifts of amazing places. Be well, ll
I can't wait to go back either. There is still so much I want to do and see. I would like to go back later in the season to see them towards the end of the salmon run and get footage of how the bears look. I also know the way they eat later in the season is totally different and I'd love to see that. HA moral of the story is that you have to go, but just know once will not be enough ;)
The bears are so adorable!!!
I just found your videos a few nights ago and have been bingeing them for days. They are cinematic and tell a beautiful story. Katmai has been on my bucket list for years and I cannot wait to visit.
Aw thank you so much! We appreciate the deep dive you have done!
Epic!
Thank you so much!
My favorite episode so far.
Mine too ;)
I loved the bears but the landscapes are still incredible, I think one of you mentioned before, no matter where you pointed the camera it was amazing! Thanks as always! 💙🐻🏔
Totally agree! Not a bad view in the place! ;)
King salmon is my home, the way you describe it is how I’ve always felt about it’s amazing hidden places, love the video :)
You are very lucky to call that area home!
If you ever come back out, let me know, I have a plane I could show you around 🤘😎
That was one of the coolest videos I’ve ever seen of the bears at Brooks! It served to further fuel my lifelong desire to one day get up there. Thanks!!
I would love to see you guys on African safaris from Southern to Eastern. You will love it!
Amazing Mak. I cant say anything that hasn't already been said, but I love your choice of music. Its so fitting at all times. You guys are so very talented.
How amazing. Such a great video with production and commentary. Thanks for posting
Our pleasure and thank you for the kind words!

Brooks Falls is a bucket list destination for me. Thanks for the video.
You have to go... clearly it's the best!
Your series gets better and better. Stunning!
Beautiful footage - of Brooks - where I used to fly tourists daily during the summer. Seaplanes !!
Yet another superb video; enjoyed every minute of it! Well done to you both👍😊
Wow! What an amazing, beautiful episode. Well done!!!!
The poor salmon! 😭😂 Outstanding video - thank you!
Yeah, they didn’t stand much of a chance 😬
Beautiful!
SO excited about this episode
I totally got it when you tested up! I have lived in Alaska the past 41 years, traveled all over this state by floatplane and seen incredible things, and I still tear up at times! Nothing like Alaska. As I tell visitors, yeah we are part of the USA, yet Alaska is literally it’s own country, it’s so unique! Glad you both got a piece of it!😉And just think, you barely scratched the surface up here!🤣😆👍
Amazing footage
Beyond Excellent! Thank you for sharing.
Amazing! Thank you.
Such amazing work!! Keep inspiring and keep exploring.
Thank you so much 😀
Bucket list for sure. Spent 44 days in Alaska back in the day and never made it there.
You have to get back there! Its so incredible!
I’ve been watching the bear cam for years and we will get there one day. Your video totally capture the impressive bears that come very year. Did anyone point out Otis the bear to you guys? Or Grazer the amazing mom?
Amazing 🙏
Thank you!
Fitting that Katmai is also somewhat shaped like the profile of a bear head. This was so, so good. Absolutely unreal.
I've never noticed that BUT you are totally right!
You captured lots of great moments! 😍
Yep! This bear footage is the beary f'ing best!! Lol. Amazing video and edits, thank you!!
An amazing episode. Such beautiful imagery of the bears!! All bears deserve a life like these ones! ❤️🐻
Alaska is so beautiful! Thanks for another great video.
It really is! ☺️ thanks for watching!
My husband and I are empty nesters. We have had the amazing fortune of living and working in a national park most of our adult lives and have raised our daughter there as well.We have now moved about 2 hours away to another amazing city. He is retired while I am now working for a major organization. Every time I watch your videos I question what I am doing.... I love that you have followed your dream through and am envious of it. We have been the envy of others as well because we lived out our dream most of our lives. Thank you for posting such beautiful videos and being honest about the journey.

Amazing
Thank you so much!
WOW, well done!
Thank you! Cheers!
Fantastic!! I was sent the link from a friend of mine in Wisconsin. Really enjoyed it. Would love to see the bears one day. I too am an adventurer here in South Africa. We spend as much time as possible out in the bush with our diverse wild life and beautiful countryside. I take a ton of videos but have never gotten to share it with the world. I would like to but am not very tech savvy internet wise. I am busy completing our very own RV and hope to hit the road soon now that we have retired from the rat race.
Keep up the great work. i will be following you from now.
South Africa is high on our list! We have a dear friend from SA and we’d love to go back with him some time to see the wildlife we’ve grown up watching on the discovery channel 🤩
Thank you, thank you. I have never seen a more beautiful video of bears ever. Your photography is excellent and I look forward to sharing this with my grandkids. Please keep your videos coming as it was very enjoyable. I also want to tell you that your choice of music is great as it seemed to enhance your presentation as well.
Such a beautiful series. You are so fortunate to go see the bears. What a dream!
We feel so lucky to have been which is why we wanted to share it!
Beautiful Film ! Subscribed …
Thanks for the sub!
Loved this. The way you're both living this life, is inspiring.

Another amazing, captivating episode. Thank you for taking us with you, yet again. Such adventures! ❤️
We're so glad to have you along for the journey!
Another awesome episode MAK and Owen. Cheers, Mate.
So glad you enjoyed it!!
Incredibly well done. Thank you. I was headed there pre-Covid, hopefully on my list again.
Oh you have to make another attempt! It's such a special place!
Such magnificent work! The quality of your content has always been incredible and this video has proven yet another work of art. Thank you so much for all the hard work that you both put into your videos. They are very much appreciated.
Much love from Los Angeles ❤
Wow, thank you! It's a labor of love. We're over the moon that you enjoyed it!
More outstanding filmmaking. Love the music. Perfect.
Thank you so much!
great video
Thank you so much!
1 word, AMAZING!!
You are so sweet!
Great video! I am camping at brooks for 3 nights in mid July and I am so excited :)
Definitely one of my bucket list adventures. Hopefully in the next few years!
You and me both! I look forward to the day we return!
What a special place, thank you for sharing with your great art and storytelling. The bears are just too cool.
Aren't they?! It's an honor to take you there!
I love how you guys capture so many great moments. I love the one of the bear casually walking outside the window of the cabin 😀
Glad you enjoyed it! We are really stoked with what we got in our time there. We spent ALL waking hours with this bears ;)
What a great video, really awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Definitely my favorite episode so far. I really loved the still photos at the end!
This was my fav too ;)
I have to give you guys a major props on this one. I showed this episode to my mom after I saw her watching the latest overdramatized grizzly series on Kodiak bears in Alaska via National Geographic. While their footage is amazing, it simply is not genuine. They make up a BS plot for the bears that is absolutely comical. I turned that off and showed my mom this video and she was blown away just as I was the first time I saw it. This is true, this is pure, this is special. Good for you guys.
Wow, that is an incredible compliment thank you! Owen and I were watching Life on Earth (David Attenborough) and he is a big proponent for the use of narrative in documentary film making that is obviously in the wildlife space. We were discussing if we felt that narrative used in the way is successful or not, so I find it interesting that you think that it isn't genuine. I think it's a tool used to pull people into the setting and relate it back to us as humans. I tend to shy away from it as I feel it can be distracting from the interesting facts about these animals. In the end, we're just honored that you would turn to us for something of quality. It means a lot to us!
Absolutely Spangtacular !! Thank you ~peace~
Our pleasure!
Best bear video we have ever seen!
AWWWW Thank you so much! We're blushing!
Spectacular!! I think we will do this adventure as well!! That’s for the inspiration.
You absolutely should 🥰
What a great video!!! Thanks for sharing this beautiful place
Thanks for watching! We're so glad you enjoyed!
Recently found your blog while checking for Katmai National park and was amazed by the quality of your video, I’m now trying to watch all your videos on you tube. Keep it up 👍
Thank you for your well done and wonderful video I really enjoyed it. 😎👍
Glad you enjoyed it!!
AmaZing Video!! Thank you for sharing with all of us!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. I’ve got a 5 day trip to Katmai in July this year. I booked my trip in April of last year and was lucky to find reservations. I’m counting the days.
WOW! Best episode yet! Now I am gonna have to conquer my fears of those little float planes and go on this adventure when we are there in '24.
It will be a worth while endeavor!
This was the most amazing video I've seen at this bear sight. Thank you soon much for sharing! I've been watching the explore Chanel this summer and love it. I could even identify some of the bears you saw. Your talent of photography was spectacular.
Oh, the closest I’ll ever come to getting there myself. Thank you! That we get to share this planet with all these beings and you. ♥️
Aw! You are so sweet! It does seem wild that we share this planet with these animals!
Thanks!
No thank you! So glad you enjoyed!
Thank you
You're so very welcome! Happy you enjoyed it!
I watch your videos because I've never been to Alaska but always wondered about it. Thanks for the great videos!
Thanks for watching!
Omg I want to go see those bears!!! Incredible!!! 🐻
Truuuuust me! I feel you!
