    I definitely would have been overwhelmed, emotionally, stepping onto that beach, and into that cabin.🙏
    He was an amazing man, that lived an amazing life.
    To be there, where he walked, lived, and immersed himself so fully would be a once in a lifetime experience.
    Thankyou Shawn James for sharing such an incredible place with us.

    Man that’s a beautiful place to camp. It seemed very tranquil. Looked to be pristine wilderness, sadly a rarity now. How fortunate you are to have access to such stunning country. Great subject matter for your photography too. And fishing as well. Catch and cook. I love fish, very healthy, those ones looked prime eating. Great video Shawn. Thank you very much.

    Eating fresh fish from such incredibly clean glacial water must have been amazing. :-)

    • @davebenner3276
      @davebenner3276 4 роки тому

      One exception. . . Glacial water is not “incredibly clean”! Its full of what is called “rock flour”, which is essentially dust from glacial erosion. That’s also why many Alaskan rivers are so wide and meandering. . . the rock flour spreads out and jams up the rivers/streams. Most are not clear at all.

    I am so thrilled and thankful that you have taken us along on this incredibly beautiful trip to Alaska. Your videographer skills just get more amazing over time. I was so glad to hear you talk about the balance of wanting to see and live in harmony with the wildlife and the need to eat. Incredible. So incredibly beautiful. I have never seen anything as beautiful as what you have shown us on this trip.
    I don’t know how you slept at all with the possibility of a bear visit. Of course at the same time maybe the electric fence is just an illusion of safety. I would have had to sleep in the bear box. I always enjoy listening to you talk and share what is on your mind.
    Thank you again for all the hard work that went in to creating this Documentary of your Alaska trip. 💖

    It always amazes me how small the conifers are in Alaska. I guess because I've lived in the coastal redwoods of northern California and have seen breath taking Sequoias. Tree's are kinda short here in Oregon as well, I sure do miss my big redwood trees! Also the cones of the Coulter and the sugar pines! Mmm, beautiful Alaska though. We have been blessed with such amazing nature! Incredible video, as always, thanks Shawn. :)

    I think it’s a special talent when you can stare at nature for hours and be content. The sounds and visuals should be stimulating enough. The world with its petty problems becomes meaningless when you spend time in such a place.

    Memories when I was in the Scouts sleeping with friends, maybe four of us out in the open on a ground cloth. Woke up feeling pressure on my legs... it was a Bear Cub walking across our sleeping bags. Glanced over at where we have our food hanging from a tree and there was Mama Bear watching another of he cubs climbing the tree.... needles to say we all stayed very very quite until they finally gave up trying to get our food.... closest I’ve ever come to a Bear! Thanks for the sharing a great Adventure with us all.

    Watching this series makes me want to get the journals to read for myself. The landscape is amazing. My nephew and his wife took the Alaska cruise and the train to Denali. I was amazed at the size of the cabbages in one of their pictures. Never thought that it might be because of the extended daylight. I just assumed it was because of the rich soil. Thanks for giving us this gift of solitude and beauty!

    What AWESOME & incredible photos & video Shawn! Enjoying the views very much & reminds me somewhat of my week vacation in B.C. Canada - at Hope where a landslide had litterly buried a whole community a long time ago, also went to Vancouver & the island, along with many places in between ... it was a once in a lifetime trip that I totally enjoyed ... it's awe inspiring to watch rain start from one side of a lake or mountain and go clear across to the other while the sun follows... ALL the photos are magnificent views of what I enjoy seeing ... THANK YOU so very much.

    Wow. Some great shots of the majesty of the wilderness up there Shawn. Oh what an experience! I wish I had the resources to visit you up at your cabin. I think we're kindred souls. Dick Proenneke, Jeremiah Johnson, the Wilderness Family, and the mountain men of the 1800s have all been my life's inspirations. I've seen the deep contemplation and appreciation in your face, and the awe in your voice, that only a true lover of God's wondrous creation can appreciate. The mountains, the forests, and the wilderness are things that can capture our very soul if we attune to it. They were bred into mine. That's why I finally moved out here to the Rockies of Montana (but still love the Blue Ridge Mountains of the Appalachians of Pennsylvania and Virginia) when life finally opened the path. Make the most of your dream up there at your home Shawn. You're living a life that most can't even imagine let alone pursue.

Someone below mentioned sleeping in one of the bear boxes (lol)... that made me think that it might be nice if the rangers built a cage for campers to sleep peacefully in :)... maybe something like the shark cage in Jaws.

    I wish we had more people like you in the world. Unfortunately we don't. People mowing down forests and causing extinction. Trash and pollution everywhere destroying this beautiful planet. I live in a small mountain town in Northern Georgia. Over the past year I've watched this beautiful wooded land get cut down acre by acre. The population has exploded up here. It's frustrating. One thing I don't understand is people moving to the country or mountains to get away then turn around and try to turn it into the place they were getting away from in the first place 🤔 So when I feel overwhelmed I just go to your channel and clear my mind. You remind me there is still good people like you out there and gives me hope. You can't buy peace of mind. You have to unplug from the chaos and just take in the earth's beauty. Thank you for giving me an escape outlet.

    Watching you bushwack your way across that brushy area reminded me of a time in Colorado in 1987. A climbing buddy and I were coming down off of Gray's and Torres Peaks which are not far from Georgetown. We were heading down into the gulch and it was starting to get dark. It was twilight where things are getting hard to see. My climbing partner had my pack on so we could travel faster. His legs were longer than mine plus he could hike at 5 mph vs my 4 mph. I remembered my flashlight was in the pack, but getting him to stop was impossible. We were cutting across an area that looked like heather. Growing about 2 feet tall. Suddenly I stepped down on some little animal, and it screamed out loudly. I finally convinced him to stop. I got my flashlight and retraced my steps and found where we left the trail. Another 15 minutes and it was dark. It still took at least another half an hour to get back to the truck. My son and I climbed those same mountains 3 years later. Anyway take care and be safe.

    Bears. Camping alone with bears is tough. When I first found huge very fresh bear prints around camp, where I previously thought there were few bears I did not get a lot of sleep. Solo camping and sleeping in little more than a bivvy did not offer much protection, no protection. Eventually passed out after a hard hike the previous day at 0300. Every noise in the forest became a bear :( But being in grizzly country is a whole "other level". After several days the lack of sleep and hiking is really quite exhausting. Interesting being in an environment where we are not at the top of the feeding hierarchy. Great video thanks and the scenery - wonderful.
