    The Search Continues.......If you are new to the channel, Welcome! This is the continuation of what started as a late summer adventure into the depths of Alaska outdoors by a out of state visiting friend, Part 1: • Alaska Rescue Mission ...
    The call to the Alaska State Troopers is made.......
    We take a helicopter into the mountainous location where my friend was last seen on November 3rd, 2018.
    His hike was intended to spend time off the grid enjoying Alaska. He didn't want to be bothered and asked to be left alone. Fast forward to December 23rd, 2018, the concern level is thru the roof and a mystery is at hand.
    This is not a regular adventure trip this channel contains, this was filmed for the family of the missing friend in hopes of a good outcome.
    Being prepared when you venture into the outdoors is critical, don't ever underestimate the power of nature.
    Viewer Discretion is advised, some scenes may not be for everyone.

      @@francesgarcia2969 I was a only child for 7 years then a brother was born but we were never close because we were too different from each other and too much of a difference in ages. So I was lonely, I wanted a pet really badly but my mom never allowed that either, I wanted friends but found that most children didn’t want to be friends with a smart girl with an IQ of 150, so I was very lonely. I did meet a man who was intelligent and valued higher education so he became my best friend and my husband. People in Alaska are great people, I’ve been there several times and I think because there are so few of them and it’s a hard life, I think they look out for each other.

    A year ago, Andrew Corcoran commented, “Everyone should have a friend like this guy.” Indeed, you are the definition of what a friend is. Very sad not to have found him, but I’m going with the narrative that ole boy did not want to be found, and he is out there living and surviving completely on his own; and one day, he’ll come out of the shadows and have a helluva tale to share.

      No word yet? I hope you find him with a clean shave, fresh haircut and sitting in a hot bathtub somewhere enjoying the scenery. 14 miles off the main road is not that far out for a guy to disappear without a single trace. Maybe people that do that don't want to be found. He obvioisly boarded up before he left. Hopefully he met a friend and just moved on.

      My understanding from friends in Alaska is you can hunt anytime of the year if you are hunting for the survival of your family and you are a resident of Alaska and have registered as a person who hunts for sustenance. My husband's friend fishes in Hunts year-round but he only takes what he needs to supply for his family and he shows his ID and everything if he gets stuck and he doesn't have anybody he did not go hunting when he had my husband with him because he didn't want them to question why someone from California was with him in his truck they just went to Dawson and went gambling LOL so if he ran across somebody who was poaching it had to be somebody from out of state who did not have the legal right to be hunting unless maybe they don't allow you to hunt Moose I don't know but if it's a a First Nations person they're allowed to hunt anytime they want so something's wrong here I don't think they'll be finding the guy alive he's gone they don't show up the first 6 months you know when spring hits they can come out of wherever they stayed for safety but someone has put him somewhere.

    All of these strangers coming together for the life of a man they do not know. This gives me hope. I know statistically he most likely won’t be found but I have to continue to hope. One thing that I have ALWAYS taught my students was to NEVER EVER take HOPE away from a family or a patients loved one. It is all they have and if you take that from them they have nothing. It costs nothing for you to leave someone with HOPE but it costs them everything if you take it away from them. To pray for someone costs nothing either. Make that time to send your love and good thoughts out to someone. It does count.

      Im sure you're a wonderful young woman who means well, but your lack of real experience blinds you to the difference between false hope and true hope. False hope almost always brings so much extra grief and suffering when it crashes down. A lot of times leading to suicide. Ive been all over the world and witnessed the most unspeakable acts of savagery and suffering and anyone who's experienced life at its most desperate point would never make the comment you made. You should teach your students death is as natural as birth and to fear it in a way that you delude yourself can have even more horrifying affects then the previous incident which caused the reach for "hope"

      We have a logbook at our remote cabin NE of Lake Louise Alaska (approximately 16 miles from Lk. Louise Lodge) anyway we leave the cabin unlocked with rules and instructions for any visitors. Dozens of people have signed " "the book." Our cabin is responsible for saving several lives due to the fact that folks who were hurt, cold, wet, in trouble, or lost were able to use the cabin make a fire, eat some food, etc. Just about everyone signs the book and we've made some great friends as well. Remote cabins are a lot of work but totally worth it. Can't wait to get back up for Caribou and Moose in Sept. 2020. My brother just got back (April 15th 2020) they caught some Lake Trout and trophy Burbot on the 100's of no name Lakes in the area.
      Be safe and be prepare for anything...don't become a statistic.

I ask because it seems more and more these days that when a person disappears and their car is never found either, theyr in the water! Just in the past year I bet Iv seen 8-10 videos on here where a car has been found submerged and the person is still in there. I’d be looking at bodies of water where u live that are close to the road. Chances are he may have run off the road or fell asleep at the wheel and veered off and hit the water!

One thing that is very problematic in his case, is in the minutes before he was last seen, he didn't have his keys. It is my belief that the car was disposed of rather than he himself running off the road. His name is Randy Leach if you want to look up his case.
