Several yrs ago I was on a land and sea trip to Alaska. While on the cruise Libby Riddles, first female winner, 1985 Iditarod was on the ship talking about her winning adventure. One of the tours I signed up for was a trip to visit sled dogs and they showed the dogs exercising and running as a team. I loved the whole Alaska experience💕
WOW what an adventure for you and Weston he will never forget this trip. You are a great mom to do this with your son. Bless you for making your family great memories 🙏
When my son lived in North Pole they had sled dogs. Granddaughter was learning how to run them. They were awesome! Thank you for the trip down memory lane!🥰❣
Love your channel. And love to learn more about Alaska and to see how different things are and watch you experience things like this. Just watching the video was amazing enough. You can tell that you definitely enjoyed the experience and that made it so much more enjoyable to watch. Your channel is so unique... You don't do things just for the likes and comments that it will get you like a lot of other TH-camrs do, you do this because it's something you love and because of the love you have for Alaska. Love all of your videos. I first saw a grocery haul video and then saw your family vlogs as well. Love all you content and can't wait to see what you, your Alaska boys and sweet Luna get up to in 2023. I have a feeling it'll be a great year for you all.
Hello thank for the video it is so nice to see the dogs pulling in the snows,take care all tell Luna say hi.Wishing all good blessing that god had you and your family.
Thank you for taking us with you and Weston. I am trying to plan a Alaska trip with my husband. And your adventures in your beautiful state is helping me. Keep up the wonderful work. Love from Florida.
I loved the dog sledding adventure, it was very exciting and educational. Glad Weston got to go along with you. Glad you got to do it. I saw the love, you had for all those dogs. Thanks again for taking us along. 💕💜❤️
I grew up spending summers in Grand Marais, MN on the north shore of Lake Superior. They have their own sled dog race there called the John Beargrease. It commemorates an Ojibwa mail carrier by that name who used sled dogs to take mail from Duluth to Grand Portage in the winter time. (He used a boat in the summer.)
I have Siberian Huskies . They, like Alaskan Huskies love the snow and run. It was amazing you filming or Weston filming while you were on the sled. Those were beautiful and smart dogs. Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience.
That was really fun!! Thank you for sharing!! Though many people like to think those dogs are worked too hard this is proof that they are not happy unless pulling and running. Watching them so excited to run and roll in the snow is also proof they are so happy to be doing what they are doing. I have heard they eat better than their mushers! The dogs are #1 and mushers can live on much less. Watched many shows on sled dogs as Husky's are my favorite and I would love to own one someday but only if I could provide the lifestyle they need. Got the snow part down but that is about all. Not the land to run!
Lauren thanks for taking us along. This is very interesting these dogs are so excited to do their job. Before anyone thinks this is cruel. WATCH & LISTEN THESE DOGS HAVE A BLOODLINE & THEY ARE BREED TO DO THIS. They very well taken care of. GOD BLESS FROM JULIE WEST CENTRAL INDIANA FARMLAND ✝️🇺🇸🐾🐾🐾🐾🚜
I have converted my husband to watching My Alaska !!! It is now on our to do list next year ! and absolutely enjoyed this one! So we may have to rent the air bnb! We noticed on the map no kiwis had visited the dog sledding place ! Thank you for sharing your life
Wow that was fun thank you so much I have often wondered about what that would be like I can't say it was on my bucket list but it sounded fun and scary I don't like really cold weather and I'm 65 and handicapped so it's probably not going to happen but it was so fun for you to take us along it was kind of a rush thank you Lauren God bless take care love you and the family
I am missing you, you spoilt us through the holidays… now, serious business, maybe Mark can help, how do we go free diving on our own and where is the best place to safely do it? I admit, I do not click or like or what ever on all of your videos. But I do watch and I DO LOVE THEM!
Hello Lauren & The Alaska Boys, warmest greetings from Sydney! I received your 🎄 card today 😃 I thought it probably got lost coming from across the miles but what a pleasant surprise to see it in my letter box a few minutes ago 😊 Hope you all are having a fabulous holiday! Thank you so much for the lovely postcard 😘 Take care & keep well. I’m looking forward to watching your videos in 2023!
Thank you for the video and thank you for the year who have passed❤️ i want to whish you a happy new year and hope and pray for you all that the new year will bring us all good health and a wonderful new year🎉❤ love from norway
There is a story about a illness that happened. It was spreading and ended up in Alaska. There was a medicine that was invented to save. It took a team tag of dog sleds to get the medicine; to where it needed to be. I absolutely can't remember the illness but, I do remember that if it had not been for the dogsleds, That village would have completely been wiped out.
OMG I’m going to be there in a couple of weeks! Coming from Chattanooga, TN, staying with a long time Anchorage local "aunt" for 2 weeks. I may run into you at Costco 😃
So cool , Lauren and Weston ... it was like we were riding with you !! Absolutely amazing , thank you ! What an adventure as always ! Happy New Year to you all !!
Oh wow that looked fun dont think I would do it wishing you all the very best for the coming year looking forward to see what you have planned for us love being part of your youtube friends Blessings
I follow Kyle Casey who announces some of the races. I think he lives in Willow. He is no longer announcing the Iditarod😪 Its not as fun to watch without him. I have followed the Iditarod for about 6 years now. It's changing due to the politics involved. Hope you all had fun.
I was just watching when you're older videos when you made freezer jam with raspberries but you also mentioned in their you made raspberry fruit leather with applesauce and I was wondering if by chance you had that recipe please and thank you
Thank you for taking us along. I learned so much from this video. Amazing how far those dogs run. What an experience for all of you. What fun. Hope you all have a very Happy New Year. See you in 2023🎉. Take care❤️🇺🇸
Thank you for sharing now I too want to come to AK and try it, I love dogs, not so much of the snow but can handle it, Happy New Year guys, God Bless, KRH.
Good Morning Hamm Family ❤️ *Prayer Request at end 😢 I pray you are doing well, enjoying your much deserved rest/vacation and making memories. Have a Blessed and Happy New Year 💖 Thank you for sharing yours and Weston's lil adventure. Mom and son time is awesome, especially when there's fun involved. I'm so happy you and Weston had a, rather chilly, yet exciting time. I would love to be in Weston's cold, toe-numbing boots. Mark (mine) can do your part... LoL. Maggie was totally mesmerized during the entirety of the video. She was (happy) whining and prancing about wanting to join in the fun. Her Great Pyrenees roots want some fun in the snow... she'd probably just try to herd all the Huskies into proper position 😁 The history about the gold rush and Iditarod has always interested me. So much fun to be able to partake in an old, amazing tradition. Peter reminded me of an old mountain man. The dogs are beautiful... fiesty pups. My Uncle Mike* raised Huskies when he was younger. So poignant to watch your video on this day of all days. I know at least one musher from Alaska flew down to Georgia and bought 4 of his dogs. Teenage me was there, and it was so interesting to hear his stories about his adventures 🛷🐺 Luna has a doggie soulmate 🐱🐺 Yah's Blessings to you and your Family on the Morning Eve of the New Year. May Yeshua be a Beacon of Light to guide your way into 2023 and always ❤️ ---- *If I could, I'd like to ask you and your Family to pray for my Mom, my Aunt Charlotte, my Uncle Rodney and the rest of our Family. Their baby brother, my Uncle Mike, passed away in his sleep this morning. Our hearts are broken. So much loss these past 3+ years... the loss of Family, Friends and FurBabies. Thank you. And to all those going through their own loss, our thoughts and prayers are with you ❤️
Dear Father in Heaven, please take this family in the palm of your hand tonight and hold them close. Please ease their aching hearts and give them the peace only You can give. In the name of Your Son Jesus I pray, Amen May your family find His peace tonight. Stay strong in Him.
Susan, I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family through these difficult times. Thanks for always sharing the good and bad with us, we are grateful to be along for it all.
@@ThisAlaskaLife , thank you Lauren. Our family appreciates your compassion and kind words. We are all doing good. It's one of those "expecting but not sure when" moments, so there was no shock. It's been a rough year. We've lost so many in the span of 15 months... some young, some old... all loved and cherished. We just have to trust in Yah's plan and count our blessings. It's heartwarming to know even "strangers" can spread light upon another's darkness. Good night ❤️
have you seen Home Free Alaska's videos? They have grown their channel exponentially since moving to AK. Now have over 70k subscribers. You should touch base with them and see how they've done it. I bet your channel could grow like that. Anyway Happy New Year!
Hi family! I received your Card. I love it. I’m Trina from Florida and I enjoy watching, your Hauls, esp. THE SAMPLE KING😊😊 Will the boys do a What I got for Christmas?
How cool and fun for Weston and you to have had that expirience. I've done dog sledding in North Norway a couple of years back and it was amazing! All the best, good health, happiness and success for the new year to all of you (Marc, You, Hunter, Bennett, Weston and Everrett)🍀🎆
Hey i just started watching your videos and I heard you mention you had an airbnb and I was wondering which city it was in? Love the videos I'm going to binge them all now lol. Happy New Year!
Welcome!! We have an Airbnb in eagle river during the winter, we have family in it during the summer. The Airbnb we stayed at in this video is in Willow.
This is just a question and not meant in any way disrespectful. When the dogs become too old or physically unable to pull the sleds, what happens to them?. I cannot envisage them just 'retiring' they no longer add to their keep.
They were still there as family dogs. They greet you when you walk up and they are so sweet. The dog we pet at the start and at the end we’re retired. The dogs are family from birth to death.
Bucket List. Check. About time! This was brilliant! History, your experience, and the footage. Gives me number 5 for booking your BnB for winter. Superb, Grand, and Love. 🥰 P.S. As I aiming for upstate NY, I have always followed the breeding of these dogs. The are awesome.
I learned about the ididarod races from the animated movie Balto. Which to this day I still love that movie. Is it true there's a museum somewhere in AK to honor the real dog Balto? I know there's an awesome statue in NYC that I've personally seen myself and it's very cool
@@doggodoggo3000 you do realize huskies enjoy that type of activity and that’s what they’re bred for yeah? To be able to withstand cold temps and pull sleds for medicine and supplies back when there were really only trains around for transportation
@@vermontvoice13 yea and they werent running as fast, as far, and they werent kept in such large numbers. I worked in dog sled racing. The only musher I met at a race who did well and didnt chain his dogs was from vermont (your name sayss vermont) jim blair at eden ethical sled dogs. he is very much the exception and not the rule. cool guy. All these abusive competitive race mushers were so angry when he won. I was SHOCKED myself. but yea his dogs smoked. He said he was only there because the race was near his house and a pretty trail. he doest do a ton of racing. I was there from half way across the country chasing races handling for a team. I ran in that race though. I think jim won because they his dogs were more used to the weather and terrain. Most mushers live in low elevation flat places, this trail was hilly in the mountains. plus tourism dogs sometimes smoke from pulling around people on sled dog rides all season, you let the lead out and they smoke.

That looks like so much fun. Going back to how it began. Sometimes i believe that it must have been so relaxed. Not the hus and bustle of today.
It's like watching national geographic wow
Wow! Thank you! We sure had a great time and are glad we could share it!

I would love to be in Weston's cold, toe-numbing boots. Mark (mine) can do your part... LoL. Maggie was totally mesmerized during the entirety of the video. She was (happy) whining and prancing about wanting to join in the fun. Her Great Pyrenees roots want some fun in the snow... she'd probably just try to herd all the Huskies into proper position 😁
The history about the gold rush and Iditarod has always interested me. So much fun to be able to partake in an old, amazing tradition. Peter reminded me of an old mountain man.

How much weight or "towing capacity" does a sled dog pull on average?
