This summer, my adventure partner Dave and I embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime camping and sea kayaking journey through the breathtaking glaciers of Alaska's Blackstone Bay! 🚣‍♂️❄️. We explored the stunning Prince William Sound, paddling solo kayaks from Alaska Sea Kayakers and chartering a boat from Whittier with the amazing team at Epic Charters Alaska.
For two unforgettable days, we got up close to towering glaciers, enjoyed the serenity of Alaska’s wild beauty, and dined on sizzling cheese bratwursts cooked to perfection in a cast iron pan. 🌭🔥. Life doesn’t get much better than this!
Huge thanks to:
👉 Pete at Alaska Sea Kayakers alaskaseakayakers.com/
👉 Brooke & Anthony at Epic Charters Alaska www.epicchartersalaska.com/
If you're dreaming of kayaking adventures in Prince William Sound, I can't recommend these companies enough. Their expertise made this trip smooth, safe, and truly incredible!
📹 Filmed on the GoPro Hero 12 Black
As always, preparation is key. While I'm no kayaking pro, I respect the ocean’s power and stayed well within my risk tolerance. 🌊 Safety first, adventure always!

    Most of the time, I don’t care about home videos on UA-cam; I prefer informational content, which is why I watch them. That being said, it warmed my heart to see you and your daughter backpacking together. My son and I used to do that when he was her age; now he’s 38. You don’t know me from Adam, but trust me, it’s a wonderful bonding experience, and the memories will last you both a lifetime. My son once told me, “Dad, you know what I love about camping?” I replied, “No, what?” He said, “There's always something that goes wrong, and those moments make for great stories.” I encourage you to take every opportunity to go camping and backpacking with your daughter.

      We do a lot of mountaineering and this is something you would carry as an emergency shelter. Lightweight, waterproof, breathable, but definitely not designed for a summer night out.

    Bro went up on the same day as me, just a few hours after I started and got to enjoy and beautiful, somewhat clear and sunny hike while I got blasted with ice and wind almost the whole way up 😐. The summit was just whiteout while you got a beautiful sunset haha. Glad you enjoyed the hike though and saw the views you did! I don’t remember seeing you on the way down, so maybe I was already done by then.

    • @guywhocamps

      Way to get after it! The weather was definitely all over the place. I tried to time it so I didn't get soaked on the way up or else that would have made for a miserable camp.
