Remember the cute kid in the movie Sling Blade who tells Billy Bob Thornton’s character (in his own thick southern accent) “I like the way you tawk”. 😬 Love the stories-makes me want to move to Alaska. Or the Yukon because I’m Canadian 😁
Hello Roland from Moose Jaw You worked hard in your life. Now you are the winner off Alone. I think you deserve it spezialy now when we get a little older and have to slow down if we want or not. You are the greatest, Hardheaded, Hard working , thinking about your family now a little more you sad all in all my Respect your Family can be proud of you. With friendly greatings from Moose Jaw in Saskatchewan 👍🍻
As you said in the last program, you like the silence. Just like me. I like pepole but i like the nature more Congratulations on the win Mathias Sweden
I would like to hear the uncut version, even the ramblings that don't seem part of main story. I would like to hear 7 day Palmer party, 9'8 bear story, all the stories. I could listen all day, valuable information and entertaining as hell!
Loved watching you on Alone. Along with many others, had you tagged with the win early on. You and the 2 girls (Girl Power) made it the best season ever. Love the stories! Glad I came across this. Would love to hear more stories sitting around the campfire. Take care and keep at it!
Awsome story. My grande parents are some of the old timers that you talk about up in northern Alberta and the Yukon. My hero is my 94 year old grandmother who raised 11 children most of it in the bush. Her canned moose meat was amazing. It’s sad that we are only 2 generations away from this life and so many skills have been lost. Keep up the good work love hearing your story. Thank you.
This was surprisingly very entertaining I loved your stories. You should start a podcast cause I could listen to these for hours, with the win of alone I bet you could really kick off your UA-cam channel. Keep up the great content 👍😁
Awesome to have someone out there representing“Hillbilly Heaven” as Roland said it. Growed up about 10 minutes down the road from where he did. Keep the stories coming and keep hammering!!
Just finished rewatching the season again and its def still the best. Idk if they can get any better participants than have already competed at this point. One thing is for sure, though, Roland, you are the best. Total badass. The emulation of the man in the minds of every child who dreamed of living in another time. I could never tire hearing these stories. I've heard you talk about having written a book prior to Alone and potentially adding an Alone chapter. Have you published it? If so, where can I find it?
I hope you will write books of your epic adventures! I’d love to read them and add them to my book collection! You have so much knowledge and experience that could be shared with those of us who also have that wanderlust and the need to live the old way. Also, Congrats on the win, man. It was seriously the most epic win yet of all 7 seasons of Alone.
There is a level of humility & genuineness of the human spirit in you, & the other few like you, that is very inspiring to me. I fear it will become obsolete without people like yourself sharing your stories & inspiration. Very few will decide to live the way you do, even if at our core we are instinctively called to do so, but the humility & pure work ethic you exhibit can & WILL influence people like myself to do BETTER in our "comfortable" lives that have been cut through the path of least resistance. THANK YOU for the much needed inspiration & motivation!
You need to write a book Roland! I have been watching Alone since day one and I knew an episode or two into this year you were going to do it. You are extremely skilled and impressive. I am also from PA and came to California early at about 15 and miss PA and that hunting life. Congrats on the win and you got a fan for life here and a book buyer if you ever decide to do that!
If you could go back and live during any time, when would it be? Where would you be? And what would you be doing? Your the toughest man I’ve ever seen and yet such a sweetheart, thank you. What an incredible role model you are! Sorry to hear about your mom passing. I look at my loved ones passings as “their birthday into Heaven”, we’re suffering but they’re done! Imagine what They’re doing! Who they’re meeting! Whew! I felt her with you through a tv, 😝. Happy Thanksgiving! Coming from Guerneville, CA. One of the prettiest places in America!
Roland, just found your channel. I had you pegged to win before knowing your history. Now knowing it, barring some accident or extreme bad luck, nobody could outlast you. You may not have grown up in the pioneer days but I’m convinced you descended from some of the toughest men that survived and carved out a living back then. Keep the stories coming and building up your channel. One day will come when the guide life will be too tough for anyone, but you can continue to educate us and help us live your dream with you. You have a gift for story telling and an unlimited supply of stories I feel. Pick a story weekly, monthly or ? and share it with us. I could visualize your whole adventure to Alaska as you told it. Also in the off season keep us a breast of how you’re doing in your other pursuits like gold or whatever it is.
A bunch of videos are hidden? Can y’all put that on DVD and sell it on the website? The talking story episodes with Roland are too much fun and we would like to be able to revisit them!!! Happy to pay!!!!
Totally love your storytelling can see you are buzzing when telling us about your life when people are out hunting with you there in very good hands sounds like you have had one hell of a interesting life looking forward to hearing more about it thanks for sharing it all with us
We had u pegged to win from day one! Awesome story here.hunted my whole life never had the nerve to take it anywhere near where u have.your story is f...... Inspiring keep them coming! William Montgomery Al .Rolltide
Seriously brilliant and engaging Stories and Experiences Roland ! You’ve got the Gift of Gab, and the Lifestyle Adventures , that are True to Life , and Relate able for so many people these Days , that are literally Dieing for something ReaL. Keep Talking and Filming and Writing and this ole World is Yours brother. All the hard work and distress of your Forefathers, is being Seen and Redeemed, thru You man. The World needs Characters like You, especially these days, to Teach and Remind everyone, of What made North America great. 🍁🌲🇨🇦❤️
Roland Welker I’m sure I will enjoy your shared Life Roland. It’s Not just ‘Content’ brother, that’s what all the WannaBe’s post for ‘Likes’ and short term Ego boosts. What you Post is ‘Real Life’, a Way of Being, a State of Mind and Body, in Connection with this Earth and Nature, for sustenance and Well Being and personal Growth. What Called you to your Way of Life, is Calling tons of people these days, and your Lessons and Teachings are hugely relevant and important. Reminding Everyone that a Natural Way of Living, in tune with Nature , is the Way Forward. Keep it up ! (I bet you have 100k Followers in 6 months, and don’t ever have to ‘work’ again, cus your making a Living via the internet, but you will continue ‘working’ anyway, as you Choose) 🍁🇨🇦🙏
You should watch a few of the ‘VINWiki’ car stories. If you can get the stories lined out and the editing done similar to that. This channel will absolutely take off. Great story tellers make the story. RW is no exception. Some refining will work wonders on this channel. Can’t wait to watch this channel grow and evolve.
Haha! I know first hand the medicine bow feeling. I looked like Jethro Clampid in my 4 Cylinder Nissan Hardbody doing a cool 25-30 headed to Casper 😂😂😂
Every time you say, "That's a whole other story I could tell you." I get excited and look forward to hearing it! 😆 By the way, Thank you for your military service! 🇺🇸
Its 4 am and im in the basement shooting my bow at 12 yds and listening to you talk rock house, iv felt the same way my whole life,i would trade my 28 $ an hr factory job is a second to guide...the blood lust man.. theres nothing like that rush...
How much longer do you think you could have made it on Alone? You guys were all getting skinny, however you looked the healthiest. Definitely tough being a one man show without a full season to prepare for winter. Also did you have any luck ice fishing which they never showed?
Don’t worry about making long videos either, i could listen to this kind of stuff for hours. So interesting.
Thanks man
Magnificent work ethic
Fascinating!
Well deserved win!
Congratulations!
This is the best vid I’ve seen all year. More stories please! 🥰
Could listen this hours to an end
Thanks appreciate that
-38 degrees in rock house? You’re a beast! Much respect. Musk ox!!
A wealth of knowledge along with common sense--not seen very often these days! Roland, keep talking and I will keep listening, and learning.
Appreciate that. Glad your enjoying and hope you continue to enjoy all the content coming your way.
Man you talk about a man that I could listen to for hours.
My favorite from day one, congrats buddy! Well deserved ⚒️
I liked him too, but there was a bunch of times where I thought he was going to tap out or get pulled out
Remember the cute kid in the movie Sling Blade who tells Billy Bob Thornton’s character (in his own thick southern accent) “I like the way you tawk”. 😬 Love the stories-makes me want to move to Alaska. Or the Yukon because I’m Canadian 😁
I’m looking for a lady to live that life with...
Wow I’m blown away by this guy!

Congrats on the hundred day win man!

I knew right away you were going to win. It seems like you had the most common sense when it came to living in the cold.
Awsome story. My grande parents are some of the old timers that you talk about up in northern Alberta and the Yukon. My hero is my 94 year old grandmother who raised 11 children most of it in the bush. Her canned moose meat was amazing. It’s sad that we are only 2 generations away from this life and so many skills have been lost. Keep up the good work love hearing your story. Thank you.
Glad to hear you have a true hero in your grandmother. Seem like solid folk 👍

This was so awesome to watch. Love Roland's voice, and he's a good storyteller. I want to hear what happened on that first plane ride out west!
Now this my nighttime story...RW being my narrator ❤️

Amazing story telling RW. Can you make more of these.
I had you for the win on Alone from day one, incredible job!
I'd like to hear a full hour over the strange cuts personally. I think you could definitely keep me interested.
Good Content! Watching this from United Kingdom!
Haha! I know first hand the medicine bow feeling. I looked like Jethro Clampid in my 4 Cylinder Nissan Hardbody doing a cool 25-30 headed to Casper 😂😂😂
Great man,roland you are the man,god bless u..roland do u make frection fire?
Be worth the trip just for the stories by the fire.
I'm so proud of you Roland. I tell everybody that you are going to be my husband someday. Lol Just a joke but you are truly a one of a kind man.
Rowland is the real deal
awesome
very cool
This is great Roland, Awesome stories. Have you thought of entering that Alone show on History Channel?
Thank you. I did. Check out season 7.
@@rolandwelker7893 haha "woosh"
Every time you say, "That's a whole other story I could tell you." I get excited and look forward to hearing it! 😆
By the way, Thank you for your military service! 🇺🇸
Its 4 am and im in the basement shooting my bow at 12 yds and listening to you talk rock house, iv felt the same way my whole life,i would trade my 28 $ an hr factory job is a second to guide...the blood lust man.. theres nothing like that rush...
You got it Bro!
more stories!
That bear is incredible
Roland is the fucking man
i love you brother, we got a bunch in common
100 days and still thriving: rock house, winter’s worth of wood, musk ox, smoking a bone pipe!
Mission Accomplished
Roland Welker bone pipe?
Just a thought, I think you'd be a badass Joe Rogan guest dude, hes a big ass hunter/woodsman too, your story with winning Alone
How much longer do you think you could have made it on Alone? You guys were all getting skinny, however you looked the healthiest. Definitely tough being a one man show without a full season to prepare for winter. Also did you have any luck ice fishing which they never showed?
BIG BULL OF THE NORTH WOODS
@Roland Welker What was your CB radio radio handle?
What kind of boots/foot wear do you use out there? I still get cold feet out here in PA.
This winner is no fluke, real deal no doubt.
Appreciate that Gary
I want this man to be my dad, even tho I'll be 47 in October..
R💘W
Do you ever survive in Canada?
Where did Roland find that wool hoodie?
I’ve seen them at Canadian Tire here in Alberta
it's a drug rug
liceous Haha! Haven’t heard that one yet 😂
I think they’re made in Mexico. Worn by a lot of stoners & skiers here in ‘Berta.
They sell tons of them near Mexico and in Mexico. I used to have one
It looks just like the one I bought at Clines Corner in New Mexico. Its on I40. Google (Clines Corner).
This man has forgotten more shit than I've ever learned in my entire life
Sir can I apply for an apprenticeship in your outdoor and hunting business? You’d might need a German Hilfsarbeiter :-)
there is no way he is invited to champions round, no one can beat hinm
You have a drug rug hoodie too!
4:08 lmfao
you did not go there win you went there to live
proud of you
Appreciate that Gwen
