- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- We catch a break in the weather and head out on an incredible journey to the Kenai Peninsula for salmon fishing. Wildlife, nature, and sightseeing were all a part of this jammed packed 600 mile trip. We process our catch at home and enjoy a summer meal.
We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀
Thank you for watching and supporting our channel! 💙

Even the scenery at a toll booth in Alaska is astounding. What many people don't realize, in Alaska people can become food, I imagine the bears were using the trail for the same reason people do, it's easier. This video is actually better than Nat Geo, a lot more insightful and down to earth. Thanks a lot for the exceptional video.
We
I assure you, it’s not that great 😂 everything seems cooler in a video. Although the tunnel is cool, but there’s like, nothing in Whittier
Tiger, maybe you need to get a life in Whittier.
Knowing what goes into filming, editing and producing a video, we are continually amazed at the skill and content you both bring to TH-cam and your viewers. Thank you for showcasing Alaska the way you do.
Thank you, I can only imagine your family loves it here as much as we do 🤩
Ditto. Beautiful, professional quality, but not staged, just their real life!
Led me to think

Oh my gosh. How can I ever begin to comment on this video. It’s epic. I’ll never make it to Alaska, but I loved every minute of your fishing expeditions. I really wish I could live the life you both live. The canning/smoking piece at the end was wonderful. It all looked so good. I am amazed also at the detail of draining the water over your celery. And the denouement….those sandwiches, with skin crackles. OMG. You guys have long, long, long surpassed the Foxfire series. Each of your videos seems to surpass the previous. Please don’t stop making videos. Even if you feel you are repeating, which you have not yet. I’m sure I’m not the only one out here that has a great envy for your youth, your ability to do what you do, and all that you impart to us.
Thank you again.
@♜Telegram@SimpleLivingAlaska I’m not really sure what this is. Can you explain?
@@liamfleming2070 I don't think it's them, Liam. There's a lot of people coping successful channels names for less than good reasons, please be cautious 😊
@@liamfleming2070 it's a scam. Report and ignore
@@liamfleming2070 it’s a scam! Don’t fall for it.
The bears! The piggyback ride! The fish! The scenery! This is the best channel on TH-cam, hands down. I love you two!
What?!?! You forgot the otters!!! So sweet! 🤩 Otherwise I totally agree!
What a great trip!! Thanks so much for taking us along!!
I love the fishing the most! From catch, to clean to cook! Loved this video!
Oh my goodness, those otters were so cute!!!! I could not handle how cute they were. I’m glad y’all did not have any problems with Mama bear. It’s amazing to me how smart bears are and how protective the mama is. Your drone footage is always so beautiful. Enjoy all that yummy salmon 🍣
I love Arielle’s face as Eric carries her over the water. Priceless.
I can actually recall the smell of Alaska! That beautiful smell of fresh air and greenery!! Haven't been there since I was 9, but I will get back there!💕
Me as well.😉
Wildlife footage was unbelievable. I am filled with awe toward the creator. The three otter babies, and three cubs. Wow.
A momma and cubs is terrifying yet so beautiful
I lost the comment section for a bit! This video incorporates everything I loved about the outdoors as a youth with
a bonus spectacular shot of the otters and bears. Eric & Ariel are my favorite adventure couple. Thanks a ton !
The camera shots, editing, drone footage and all those beautiful fish...wow, then seeing how you process it all is simply amazing!! And that salmon burger looks incredible. I see like a cookbook in your future! 💜
Love love love the idea of a cookbook!! The bread 🥖 recipes alone would be drool 🤤 worthy!!
Do not know what is better, the harvest, the fishing, those black volcanic rock formation of the beautiful drone shots of the blue water.
They don't follow recipes they just make things up as they go. They just know what spices go well with things. I am working on learning that now, but very slow at it. I love their adventure in cooking and baking, always trying new things out.
I've been watching for about 3yrs & this episode was 1 of the best episodes ever on this channel. Award winning
@@jaredkinneyjr Agree
I have become obsessed with everything Alaska. My daughters are WWOOF’ers on a Peony Farm in Homer all summer and every day I’m so grateful they are having this experience. They take boats to glaciers, hike to waterfalls, forage, avoid curious bears, fish, camp solo…u name it. Not to mention the skills they learned during Peony season. Every time we FaceTime they look older and more self assured. This weekend they are taking a 14 hour ferry to Kodiak Island and then joining the pilgrimage on Spruce Island. They are living their best life & it makes my mom heart happy 🌸 🐻 🎣
What an amazing experience being able to witness that otter teaching its young ones how to hunt for themselves.
You blew me away, again. You really captured the experience of living on or visiting the Kenai. And your bear shots...three cubs! Yikes! I was quaking in my boots for you. Spectacular episode, your work gets better and better! You two are living the dream and inspiring others! Just wow!
I’ve been with y’all since you only had 30 subs! I’ve never seen a channel grow so fast but I know there’s a very good reason for it. You both are just so great! I love all the content you put out and enjoy you both immensely. Thank you for the well rounded content
Yep, me to. I remember them having under 50--- they are simply interesting to watch...... Missouri 💙
@@halfwaymo9075 Same, Florida😊
Thank you 😊 💓 we really try to capture Alaska but she is just too darn magnificent.
@@SimpleLivingAlaska You do a magnificent job😘
Making memories is what life is about. I seen a bear and 2 cubs in Wyoming hiking up the Grand Tetons. She stood up on her hind legs and gave a nice rawr then her cubs walked down the mountain. Not going to lie I thought I was dead. But she calmly went on her way once her cubs was out of sight. Nice video. Can't wait to see the out house being built and the other cabin.
I feel like a broken record when I say it was another wonderful, beautiful, exciting and fun video! Thank you for taking us along and thank you for making it a long video! You guys are amazing! Thank you so much for showing us Alaska!
You guys have an unmatched talent for capturing incredible footage. There is nobody else on TH-cam I will watch an entire 40 minute video for besides your channel. Absolutely beautiful.
Thank You!
Another beautifully crafted and presented vlog, just stunning, really appreciate you both sharing your journey's and letting us into this space, which can be intrusive at times as a content creator, I know. Thank you both again for the beautiful scenery and nature of Alaska you both caught on this vlog.
Everything about this video from start to finish is just a treasure. The production quality and entertainment pace is just perfect.
When I was watching this, I screamed out “THEY ARE LIVING THE DREAM!” Then the shot of the bench showed up on the screen. How exciting!!! Man this is good stuff!!! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! Wish I could hit the like button a hundred times!
Agreed!!!!!
Seeing nature thriving made me happy. Bear and otter with their cubs, duck and ducklings. really beautiful scenery
My heart was racing with that bear scene. Beautiful scenery
Ohh! That SMILE as she's being carried across the creek!
This was an incredible video. You guys are amazing. I simply loved all the wildlife. Your videography is getting better and better. Thanks guys 🙏🏼♥️😊
I am amazed how Ariel can keep up with her husband in everything . You are an inspiration
A truly beautiful piece of filming. So much hard work but so rewarding for you, Bandit and Bear. It brought tears seeing the bench with the quote of 'I have lived my dream'. So appropriate in how you live your lives.
Great job guys! Your cinematography is amazing and Alaska is beautiful!
Sure glad you two are filming this adventure! I've been to Alaska several times now, way before cell phones and video cameras. You two will be able to look back on these memories for a long time to come. Thanks for bringing back my memories!!
This montage, from 37:30 to 40:00 is just simply glorious. Aweome job with that.
It is just amazing what Alaska has to offer. I will never get to visit Alaska but I really enjoy your video's showing us. Thank you for making these video's. ❤ from Pennsylvania 🙋🙏
Never say never
I have said it before...your photography, videography, and editing is magnificent!!!
What an adventure!! Great job of processing your fish! The only thing I missed was the taste at the end! ❤️
Next video... 😁😁😁
Oh man.. this is one of those videos I will always truly treasure. It made me get so emotional for a life I don’t have. I’m 27 years old, from a small town in Southern California, I just graduated nursing school but my heart yearns to experience what I’ve seen in this video with my own eyes. We are so lucky to have this technology and share these adventures with each other and I’m so grateful for your content. My skin got chills seeing that mama bear sniff the air with her three babies in tow. Then the mama otter feeding her babies as well.
Every time a new video is posted, I think of all the ways I can ask you guys to take me in for 2 weeks and let me work for y’all in return for the best experiences of my life. Hahaha
Then ending the video with that quote really struck me. What is my dream and what steps can I make to get there? Hmmm…
Oh my gosh.. I thought the video was over because I got an Ad, but I have 7 mins left! Yay what a gift.
I wish i had my time again, you people have me hooked on Alaska, i'm in awe, have loved each and everyone of your video's, stunning electric, and unbelievable scenery, thank you both for sharing so so much of your lives with us you guy's are awesome
Beautiful simply gorgeous fishing and scenery-even the bears were beautiful!
It is amazing to see Alaska through your lens…I enjoy your adventures!
I am really enjoying your older videos, I can't stop watching them. It is amazing to see how you started and where you are now. You 2 have done a lot of amazing work
Now that was a fantastic getaway for you both! I was so worried when watching mama bear shooing you guys away. Love everything about this video, the sights, the fishing and sounds. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to watch your journeys in beautiful Alaska, a place I can only dream of.
I watch every video you ever done! And I watch them over and over and over again! I'm handicapped so it means so much to me thank you very much! Many blessings to you your dogs and all that you do! It's as close to godliness as one could be godliness in this world today!
When that momma bear came around that corner with her not one, not two, but THREE cubs I was running with you all. So beautiful there and glad you all had a fun, successful trip.
I would of be friends with the bear and cubs. I think it would be fun to pet them or play with them there is lot of food in the river they wont attack :D
😂 for sure! Is funny looking back but scary!
We saw that same mama bear and cubs a week ago. watched her catch fish for them it was cool to watch from the deck
@@IkeCoblentz where were they?
@@threemooseketeersalaska3614 At the base of the falls in the pool with all the fish. they showed up about 8pm. but I heard they were there earlier in the day
That’s what I would call God’s country! Breathtaking. Enjoy while you are young.
Amazing couple with lots of adventures. Your healthy living and teamwork in everything is so inspiring. Love you both💖
I love going back and re- looking at the videos these 2 are my favs
What an adventure you two are having! From the tunnel for both cars & trains to seeing the momma otter & babies & then the momma bear & cubs; can it get any better than seeing nature in it's own habitat than on a TV screen!?! Those fish are beautiful. Poor Bo, missing out. Awesome video & as always superb scenery shots. 🐻
Those otters were adorable too! What a sight to see - all that salmon smoking on the grill! And finally after ALL your hard work you get to eat!!! YUM!!!
Alaska is the most best and stunning place Ive ever seen. I was there with my husband many years ago visiting my sister who was an awesome professor at the University of Alaska Juneau. I want to visit again but later in her life she wasn’t healthy or mentally able to handle much. She passed away this spring. I want to visit Alaska again in her honor. Thank you for showing such beauty. Say hi to your chickens for me and pets on the heads of your dogs. By the way, her son was a commercial fisherman.
What great fun to watching you guys having fun thanks for sharing so much beauty
You know you're in a good spot when you see otters 🦦! Good luck 🍀! Looks like a great time even for me a Washington, DC city girl!!
I think the dogs are having a good time too!
Amazing … Amazing … Amazing!
I don't know what else to say! The bear scared me too!
What a place to visit and live!
Be safe!!
Such a fun video to watch with my daughter. She is 4 and she adores your video, she scrolls through my feed to look for them. She especially liked the otters. Thank you for sharing.
Good evening from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures with me today
You’ve really captured how alive nature is in this beautiful video. It’s been years and I still love watching every video you guys make.
Also love the cabin update & paint!!
Lots of love from Canada 💕
you take us on the most incredible adventures. and oh my goodness, the mama and her babies need no words! Your cinematography is truly unmatched. I so look forward to your videos. Thanks so very much!!
I got to say, the gleeful almost run Ariel breaks into while going to the river is the best. I want to be that happy.
Your fishing videos are my favourite - love the fishing and the scenery and wildlife you catch on film while you are out there. Thanks for sharing Linda Australia xx
Oh my heck, It seems like every time I say this.. but oh my gosh guys this was your best video yet. I can watch this over and over and get so much enjoyment out of it each time. I loved the bear encounter and how much respect you gave it. So cute to see those three cubs with it. Also I love how you captured that little sea otter family. That was cute. I love the enthusiasm you guys have for fishing, it serves you well it seems. I love the respect you have for the harvest, I mean you use every bit that’s available. Once again I think to myself, and now I’m sharing with others, the two best ambassadors for Alaska just might be you guys.! This is Vaughn, and you messaged me a couple weeks ago and said to get back with you, so here I am getting back with you because it seems like I tried texting that number you gave me and I probably just didn’t do it right I’m not sure. So let’s try it again if you don’t mind and thank you so much for sharing your Alaska with me and my family. P.s. What are your thoughts on the French press built into those obviously really good thermoses? I can’t believe you guys fit all that into 48 hours. And oh man those burgers look so good. I want to come rob your stash of bottled salmon. I am going to sit right back and put it up full screen once again, and enjoy this video that you have shared with us. Thank you thank you and keep on fishing and gardening, it serves you well.
I literally couldn’t get enough so I just went and rewatched every salmon video! SO SO GOOD
What an EPIC marathon of fishing!!! And the babies 🦦🐻. They were so cute! This was an amazing video. You guys set the bar so high to professional level. --Jessica from Florida 🌞
Great video I don't know how I miss this one but three months ago you put it out I missed it watching it tonight great video all right thank you 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Absolutely gorgeous vlog. Your fishing trips are really top notch. Thanks for taking us along. Best from Canada.
Again, the wildlife footage was amazing! But the tunnel was a little scary. What an adventure
Wow, so beautiful the scenery and wildlife, I miss fishing with my brother ( that was long time ago),God bless you guys, thank you for sharing this trip .
The bear and her three cubs were so cool to see! I'll bet that was thrilling for you guys to see in real life!
I've been watching your adventures for about a year, love it.
Excellent always excellent. Your videos bring me so much joy🌞
Congratulations on a successful salmon fishing expedition! The film footage was breathtaking! What a beautiful Alaska! Love from NC.......
I loved the piggy back ride.. great video again. Thank you
Wow great trip. Fantastic video. Excited for your fish haul, but even more for the multiple types, locations, and techniques. Every year y’all get better and more efficient with timing and skill. Thank you.
I know otters are objectively mean to other otters but gosh dang if they aren’t one of the cutest things
Awesome video of two great folks, their beautiful dogs and majestic nature. Love this channel.
Y'all amaze me with the breath taking shots Y'all manage to get. Y'all have a way of making me feel like I am right there seeing what Y'all are.
I really love watching what you are up to, so don't reduce that, please. However, even more of the scenery would be great. A long ending filmed the way you do it would be something I could watch over and over. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures.
I think I can’t love your channel more and then you do this…….❤️💫❤️
Hello from Oregon! I absolutely loved the wildlife, from otter and bear mamas and their young to my old favorite, sweet Bo. I feel like an old friend of Alaska after watching your amazing videos. Keep on fishing and doing all the wonderful things you do in the wild frontier!
From Australia, thank you very much for this fabulous trip and beautiful places you visited. We appreciate you both very much, as we sit in our armchairs enjoying all you get up to. God bless!
I can only imagine the adrenaline with the mother bear encounter ! Beautiful experience & so much food - congratulations ☺️ Thx for taking us along !
Your family is very happy. I wish your family lots of health and success in your work. I really like the way you share your videos. Thank you for letting me know about your family life. It's wonderful.
I saw the bear and yelled, "Bear!" in the quiet of my room. 🤣 That was definitely intense and I'd say you had to have gotten some perfect pics for the calendar to boot.
This was a wonderful trip and I fully appreciate y'all taking us along! This was a completely fun video! The drone footage was spectacular! Oh! I am so glad your camera survived its bath.
Those burgers were massive. I would not have been able to take a bite without smooshing it good. 🤣
OMG! The end was so funny! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love otters, they're so cute
Wow! It's raining in Alaska! Who would have thought?
Awesome wildlife footage guys!
The best travel I've made this far is on that train in the opening scene.
From Anchorage up to Fairbanks, with a stop over at the Denali N.P.
It was absolutely fantastic!
I highly recommend it!
As someone who has worked in factories for 40 years I would have LOVED to see how they managed to move from one assembly location to another. I know how hard that must have been, and how much everyone was going crazy to pull that off. Excited to see the progress on RR2.
You never disappoint with the quality of your vlogs! I was so happy when I saw this blog was over 47 minutes long, yet it went by too fast!! I'm not a fish person, but you could make dirt look delicious!!
Agreed! Best video but I couldn’t get enough!
This Channel is amazing! I am 63 years old and this is my dream! Just to spend a couple of weeks in their back yard. Thank you guys so much for sharing!!!
I’m on the kenai :)
Wish I could have met up with you guys and show you my secret fishing spots! Maybe next time.
Thanks for the video. Everything you post is beautiful and helpful!
We are very excited and really like your creative ideas, made it enjoyable to watch and keep watching, hope you continue this great idea forever.
What excitement! Whew! Y’all never or rarely see bears, but to see a big mama and 3 babies is very cool.
Your 6 mile hike back to the car was aided by adrenaline. I’m glad the dogs weren’t with you
Actually Bandit was with them
@@fredsoltveit8453 yes, I saw he was, but meant it didn’t appear they were on the trail when they saw the bears
I love watching this couple and there fishing they show more action and talk a lot less and it's much more enjoyable to see it's almost like being right there with them I want to thank you for sharing your trip with us I really loved it
You guys are living the life. It may be hard but it’s got to be worth it!
Music and b-roll around minute 38 was fantastic
That was a amazing fishing trip. Beautiful scenery and a full cooler 👍
🤗 Good morning! Coffee, fishing, hiking, Bo and Bandit, the critters. What a enjoyable way to start out the day. Thanks guys. That was fun.🙂
Notification squad. I've heard the fishing has been really good this year.
I really enjoyed watching this video twice already and will still watch it next time. The fishing, the scenery, the wild animals shown on their natural habitat, the river teeming with salmons, the two of you doing the all hard work but at the same time enjoying and giving us fantastic videos all the time. Just reading the fantastic comments is already an enjoyable time for me. Thank you for the two of you!
Reminds me of living in Washington state, definitely the most beautiful place I've been, really similar to Alaska but without a mountain on every horizon
Already can’t wait for your calendar next year just from this video!!! Amazing!!
I love your videos so much..and I’m so happy when I see a new one in my feed!!
Thank you for sharing beautiful Alaska with us!!!♥️
Ps… maybe we need to start a fund to get Eric a new pair of waders! Poor guy! 💦
Love the way u guys don't waste anything, even bloody water👏🎣😎
We were down from North Pole that weekend... crazy busy but always a blast. Our youngest boy's first fish was caught there in Whittier! Awesome video!
That fish fight at about 36:00 that was silhouetted was a fabulous bit of camerawork. And Arielle landing that on her own was the icing on the cake.
