- Alaska, "the continent" in the Inuit language: the land of grizzly bears, where we meet travelers, inhabitants and an airplane pilot who help us discover its surprising landscapes, between forests, fjords and volcanoes.
Director: Laurent Cadoret
Original Title: Somewhere on Earth: Alaska - Розваги
I feel blessed to have deep roots up in Alaska. My mother was there in the late 30’s, up in Wrangell. Her father logged, fished and worked in the gold mines up in Juneau. My wife’s father traveled the AlCan in 1947, stayed in Fairbanks, then down in Cordova till 1973. My wife and I met in Cordova in 1983 while I was commercial fishing, I still go up there every summer, it truly is a special place, the history is interesting. We have a couple of cabins in McCarthy near the abandoned Kennicot copper mine in the Wrangell St. Elias National Park.
WOW...MY FATHER MOVED US TO WRANGELL IN 1972 WHERE MY FATHER BECAME A GAME WARDEN.
FROM THERE WE WENT TO CORDOVA IN 1977 HAD MY FIRST JOB IN A SALMON CANARY AND THEN ON TO FAIRBANKS IN 1981 WHERE I WENT TO HIGHSCHOOL AND GRADUATED IN 1984 FROM WEST VALLEY HIGH, I NOW LIVE IN MONTANA...I MISS ALASKA & FEEL FORTUNATE THAT I GOT TO LIVE THERE AND EXPERIENCE ALL I DID WITH MY OLD MAN..
You should feel blessed. I’m from Kansas. Went there in 2020 and have been back every year. Words and pictures can’t explain to others what it’s like there, for me. Um, it does something to my soul/spirit while there. Love going saddened to leave
You’re blessed for sure
Great movie ! Nothing like pure wilderness. That rush of a pure wind, the feel of water on your skin bathing in the river at 6 am in the morning, that feeling of walking on the edge of existence knowing that every step is up to you.....
There's the lower 48, Alaska and that pacific island state! It's way different by far than where your from. So glad I got to have an extended stay there. While amazed at this place, the dry dusty desert is where MY heart lies. This documentary did a fine fine job showing the two things that stand out in Alaska. The huge space of light, geology, weather, water and the deeply powerful spirit of Alaskan's themselves. Thanks much for the posting.
The only place I've lived that I truly loved and hated simultaneously. The scenery and solitude is fantastic, the weather is absolutely awful.
Yeap, very true. I've never been to Alaska but a relative that did told me it's beautiful in the spring and summer but winter is brutal.
@@SkyHiltribe Winter is brutal yet also magical. The light phenomenon, not just the northern lights are spectacular. The scenery is out of this world. Winters are frigid and summer mosquitoes will make you wish it was winter again.
Lived in Fairbanks 10 years, Anchorage 5, back in the 70's and 80's. Still miss it... the people, the beauty, and the personal freedom, but would be hard to acclimate to the cold again.
For me I feel like the cold weather would actually be bearable, but the mosquitoes and horse/deer/black flys would be a deal breaker! Those suckers will make you beg for the cold weather to return!
The mosquitoes. Way worse than the weather.
wow...thank you for this.... with all the BS of city life and current events.....this brought me back to reality for 52 minutes.... thank you again!!
My earliest memories as a child are from Alaska, where I lived in Fairbanks in 1959 with my parents. Views of the snowclad mountains and of the bays along the coast instilled in me a love for nature till this day. I now live in Israel.
I hope you're safe and well
It’s a great way to describe it. There’s a town and things go out, in Alaska, but in the lower 48, the wilderness is always surrounded by the town
WONDER-FULL!!! Thank You, ALL Adventurers!!!
This is an awesome film. I knew that Eivan was a Kilcher, as soon as I laid eyes on him. He looks so much like his cousin, Ivan.
Finally thank you best documentry channel for showing our crown of USA
My mom and I moved up here in October 1981, we drove the Alcan highway up here to Seward, I was 15, was wondering what my mom was thinking! Now, here I am still In Alaska ! No place anywhere even compares to Alaska! Simple!😉👍
I loved the "everything on a gigantic scale" part of being in Alaska!
Awesome !!!! Alaska = Freedom, Adventure and Surrender to Nature !!!!
They always show alaska in the summer when it's warm and light and you can do everything. Go up there in January when it's dark and cold af. 🥶
Congratulations, it's a very pleasant and interesting documentary to watch! Alaska seems to be a very special place! Cheers from our tropical Brazil!🙏✝️🇧🇷
Yeayea and ya all got a lot of cocaine!!!
Or how?
I think the man with Libby is a relative of the kilchers from Alaska the last frontier, Nice!
Yes i think to. The joungest from the man that can repair everything.
Lol yea with a new accent
Is she a Kilcher rel
I thought the same thing so I looked in the credits and googled when this was filmed. That's Eiven Kilcher, he's in the credits. This was filmed around 2009, despite not being finished and released until 2015. That's why he looks so young. Both Libby and Eiven look much older now. Not sure why they pronounced his name "Avon" and why he's talking so different but it's definitely him. The Kilcher's have a history of tv/film.
@ the 6:00 mark,that was a great description of Alaska and the feeling that you have when you’re there!
Thank you for knowing the difference between your and you're...a dying skill!
The landscape and nature are beautiful. Thank you for sharing the video. Greetings from Singapore.👍😍👍
I dream of going to Alaska! Greetings from California. Great video. Congrats!
This film was released in 2015. Should be in the description! Great movie!!
that's a Kilcher boy ..go Evan !
I thought so
I agree with Libby tho I live in Northern Maine, almost to the tip top, vast wilderness NO shopping malls heck only shopping center is over an hour away! peaceful
Beautiful landscapes
Danial my helicopter pilot all summer long while I guide remote backcountry rafting, fishing, camping excursions. She is a wonderful pilot and is a true Alaskan badass!!!
Oooh! She got her heli license, too? Super! Did she ever get her cabin completed?
@@user-qr8ki8ue4i yes!!! And she is currently building a airplane hanger at the talkeetna airport!
I got to visit AK several times and got to do some motorcycling. I just wish I had more time to do fun stuff there. I could not get over the sheer beauty everywhere and the big animals roaming freely everywhere even in the cities. I always think about the explorers/settlers who arrived in the 1800s and early 1900s with the challenges they dealt with.
I love the beauty and serenity of Alaska and I admire the people who settle for a simple, peaceful life. I think it's great, but the climate would keep me from settling there.
Beautiful Alaska and nature I love it what dream to be there awesome 👌
Wish everyone understood being with Mother Nature is where all our answers lies. The more we go away from Nature, the more we suffer.
Watching 2 people walking on the foreboding glacier w/ countless deep crevices, taking photos of these huge perilous grizzly bears in such a close range dicing w/ death ( they just spread their arms & clapped to scare them off!, Holy Smoke! I wonder if anyone carries a gun just in case.), rafting along the dangerous river alone in a small frail boat, etc., I can't help feeling this place must be a paradise or the destination of choice for those valiant, courageous, & adventurous nature-lovers or enthusiasts ( it almost defies imagination for a city-dweller like me!!!). Soundly enjoyed, admired, & appreciated it to the core at my cosy residence in the warm California. (02/22/24)
Wow! Amazing. Thank you for the adventure.
Thank you for this lovely video about an incredible place. My Wife and I enjoyed a brief vacation along the Southwest coast of Alaska, a few years back. It was stunningly beautiful and interesting.
Fantastic landscape and people. Watching from Italy. Thank you for sharing ❤🎉
Beautifully done! Thank you!
Grazie ! bellissimo documentario ! un saluto cordiale da Luciano il perugino (Italia)😀
Wonderful, truly wonderful !!
That Ivan, from Alaska the last frontier
No
Yes. It absolutely is.
This documentary is from 2009 (I know that because the girl said Mt Redoubt blew in April- and that happened in 2009).
He looks a bit younger because he is
@@averageatom right. he's in the credits too, and if you google the film it says it was filmed in 2009. I googled Libby and saw she founded HoWL in 2009, a wilderness expedition camp for kids based out of Homer and Eiven was a wilderness instructor there since it was founded in 2009. Not sure if he still is. That's probably how they cast them for this doc.
This has been an interesting production thanks for sharing
Nice job showing off AK and my hometown, Talkeetna! Danielle, Carl and Joe are about as 'Talkeetna' as a person can be! It's so cool to see my friends and neighbors on a French documentary (even the ones who didn't get named!). After seeing how many 'documentaries' just completely make a mockery of our lifestyle, it's nice to see one get pretty close with it. Cheers!
This is the pronunciation of Kenai, KEEN eye!
Thank you. That’s where I grew up. You can spot a tourist by their pronunciation of Kenai, Soldotna, and Barrow. They always get them wrong.
great video love alaska
Very beautiful
Very cool documentary. Wild land Inspireing people!
Such a "Real Alaska Living" vlog!
Alaska is my favorite place 😍 💕 ❤ 💛 💓 💗
Hi Libbey. You are so lucky .I have that feeler of freedom .Homer sounds nice. I live in the rocky mountains but not as secluded, I wish I had a chance of heaven like you ,peace. Love and beads GGG
Hey you, 👋 will you marry me Libbey. ❤
I've been all over the world , however i lived in Homer for a year. and it was the most wonderful place i've ever been.
i can't imagine a better place. 😁👍
Wilderness at its purest form
Thank you.
Nice in joyed this film
Thats 50/50 appreciate the dsy 😅thats really very good.
Good plan “…my first year in Alaska I never had a car I went everywhere by plane or mountain bike to me that was the dreamland and still is”
A very nice documentary. I didn´t know that people where still allowed to build out in the Alaskan wilderness? Anyone??
Technically no, but there are exceptions for those willing to put in roads and utilities to the land.
That said, imagine the population of Rhode Island in a state much larger than Texas. Thats Alaska. Where there is a will, there’s definitely a way in Alaska.
"By the morning you gonna be working in Alaska... so dress warm" - Tony Montana 😂
It would be nice to really be in the back country. It is harder in the lower 48. I can see a home now from my kitchen window. Sad, but though I am not in the Alaskan back country (I've been to Seward and all around Prince William Sound.), I live about as far out in the lower 48 rural area as many can get. But, having lived for 25 years on and Island in Washington, I miss the ocean. I see lots of deer every day. I live 5 driving hours either north or south from an interstate and 20 air miles from the largest wilderness area outside of Alaska.
I'm glad I got to spend part of 7 summers working on a family purse seiner mostly in Southeastern Alaska. I saw coastal Alaska in the mid 60's. Occasionally I will talk to someone from Alaska who moved south. When he hears some of my stories, I often hear, "You were in Alaska when Alaska was Alaska." It was just a bit wilder when I was 17 years old to 24. I'm 79 now. No speed boats, no policemen, creek watchmen getting killed, selling salmon to Japanese freezer ships, glaciers one could drive to, ghost towns with building having gold speckled through wooden walls.
I like camping in the Idaho foothills of the Rocky Mountains where you rarely see anyone, but it isn't like Alaska. When I was 20 I was gold panning in Lituya Bay where we came ashore to avoid a 70 knot wind. And 100 yards away a mother brown bear stood up on her hind legs sniffing the air.--My new 30-30 looked mighty small. Lots of wild animals, rugged country with high rugged mountains, in north central Idaho, but nothing like Alaska.
ALASKA IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY ! 🐻🐧🦫🐼🐫🐫🦬🦬
Alaska is a country? I thought its a state of USA.
I love and I hate this place. lol from anchorage to the Matsu valley is my area and mostly I love it. Just not right now 🤣
The wildflowers have started coming out here in Big Bend National Park and it's going to be in the 80's next week here! Hold on, you only have 8-9 more weeks to go!!
This was great, “real content” like this is so rare these days. No cgi here, no AI.
👍. Love this life it's real
Great video 😊
Catch them thangs😊💯👍😎

Good afternoon from Tasmania, Australia 👋
@@dcsc1 hi friend
My daughter and her husband just moved there to Homer beautiful to meet her father-in-law and her loving it
I just wish online retailers would recognize that Alaska is the 49th STATE in the US. Dunno how many times I've tried buying stuff from down south and they tell me they don't ship international.........
Flat rate boxes still work up here........no need to charge me $100 for shipping for something that will fit in a large flat rate box......
Carlile Myconnect. 20 bucks, they give you an address in Tacoma to enter in and they ship it straight to you in Alaska. Works great.
Як добре , що ця Земля належить Америці , а не росії , бо в інакшому випадку там люди голодували і жили дерев'яних бараках де немає води , туалетів , звичайних комунікацій . Хай Живе Америка та Україна Переможе у війні 🎉 💙💛✌️
Libby tossing the fish 🐟 guts 😆
Genial 👍😃👌😂🎉
I knew that was Kilcher property. Kinda neat to see that family from a different perspective.
Danielle has a dream job! Happy for her. Does she have a UA-cam Channel?
23:38 "The last place without a lot of rules". Either this fellow has never read the Alaska fish and game laws or he simply ignores them.
He talks about and does catch & release. One of the few rules he talks about.
? 🤷♀️
And compared to any other state?
Relatively, there are far more rules outside of Alaska.
If you’re a tourist that’s a different story. There are many more rules for tourists and rightly so. The residents subsist on the land
Lol falls asleep until it occurs to look for the bears
Good❤
😮 WOW 😳 pretty and tough sure can clean up fish
Best wishes Brave ❤
GREAT SALUTE TO THE MAKERS OF DOCUMENTARY.
Dreamy.
Shout out to Talkeetna Air Taxi!
🙄👏👏👏 only in my dreams 😢😂❤🙌👌💪
Indeed far away from all the modern day hassles there’s no more perfect a place than that
I love this lady very smart and classy I can wait to head to Alaska sucknof of Louisiana I worked in Alaska 2 time to get a new power spot it seems the lower 48 over run and almost out priced for lit Alaska is the last great clean land North America 👍👍
From Ash and Ice!
Hello. I like very much your wool cap. It suit you very well
Libby is the real deal.
This sister daniela doing all kind of job she is pilot, best cook, she knows some kind of wood work she is all in one God bless you sister
10/10
Sure looks like the fella from Alaska, the last frontier! How long ago was this filmed?
❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤
Addendum; I can't help thinking that Russians must have expressed in retrospect their greatest regret on the deal in 1867 in terms of military & business advantages, i.e., oil was discovered in Alaska in 1968 as you may know, & in addition, in terms of strategy, Russia might have possessed such an unimaginable advantage over the US should they have kept it. So we are greatly grateful & gratified w/ the deal. I wonder if anyone else feel sentient of it. Thanks for reading my comment in anticipation,,,,,(02/22/24)
is that Eivin kilcher from the discovery channel
Yes
is he no longer married? I thought he and his wife had kids@@averageatom
Eivan Kilcher....Alaska the last frontier! Thats him. Before Eve and the family
Believe me, if you are driving anywhere in Alaska, people have been there😂
Sir can you ask about some Alaskan residents people that putin sign about Alaska and what they replayed
This is a documentary, the time for questions to be asked is long over
Alaska is crown 👑 of U,S,A
💐
