Just fantastic. Love these videos. Just met your son Guy at a trophy room before the sheep banquet, had to sing your praises when I chatted with him. Thanks for sharing these!
The video, Challenging the Northwest Territories, is my all-time favorite. I saw Gordon Eastman, live, in Spokane Washington and he narrated the entire movie. It made me want to do it when I grew up. And I did!! Thanks, Gordon.
I watched all of Gordon’s films several times, what was documented in North of the Sun is of significant historic value. Even when it was filmed you could see outside influences that were relatively new to the people. But the old way of life was still present, and at the end as Gordon reflects on what could come to these people who have self subsisted for thousands of years, is deeply saddening. It seems to have turned out the way he hoped it wouldn’t. We are very fortunate that time period was recorded and documented as that way of life is gone.
Just discovered the channel, and absolutely love the format, and the story telling. I just binge watched every video on your channel! I’ve been an Eastman’s subscriber for years and love what you guys do. Keep up the good work Mike!
Brings back a lot of memories, I use to rent your dads videos at our local sporting goods store. The place closed up here a few years ago and sold everything. I kick myself for not picking up all those old videos.
I saw this film in the school gymnasium 3x as a kid, and as soon as I saw the video for sale at ELK Inc decades later I bought it and I’ve watched it hundreds of times. I can’t get enough of it, it’s very entertaining. I’ve never figured out exactly where the ‘Plains of Abraham’ is, I’m thinking it must be a local name. I’ve watched that sheep hunt scene so many times and I see where one of the rams was hit in the gut, but I’m glad that the ram was recovered.
One of the most memorable parts of your father’s movies that I can remember. I probably rewatched that vhs 20 times. Not as many times as the Phantom Ram though!

Keep the stories coming! I really enjoyed Danny's behind the scenes insights.
Love this it’s crazy in two generations a lot of hunting stories have been lost

Watch the channel I will do a show on Dad filing the Phantom Ram. Tell your buddies about the channel. Thanks! Mike
Oh man Mike that was a good one
Thanks I'm doing Part 3 where Dad films so sports writers that came in to hunt and write about hunting the NWT. Watch for it coming soon. Mike
@@BlazedTrailsForgotten You bet I will
Thank you
Well done Mike
Thanks for the comment Mike
And those guys found the pot of gold, too. Doing things that all but a small fraction can only dream of.
God bless you Mike.
Thanks for the kind words. It was special time. Mike
Your videos and stories are great. Love the old music. I'm curious.... How'd he lose the the right ring finger?
When dallying, a steer's finger got between the rope and saddle horn. The family cattle ranch also grows apples.

What rifle was your Dad using?
