This video and whole series deserves recognition. Your Alaska series has been absolutely stunning. The amount of work needed to obtain most of these shots does not go unnoticed. Thank you for showing us how beautiful our planet can really be and thank you for all the effort you put into each and every video.
Very well said!
Agree! Well done. Thanks for sharing!
EDIT: Some of you are pointing out that this was posted twice - Correct! there was a problem with the other video file that I needed to correct, and since UA-cam doesn't have the option to replace the file, I have no choice but to upload a new one. Sorry about that!
It's not a flying video, but part of my flying trip in Alaska nonetheless! Let me know your thoughts in the comments. More flying content coming very soon. Thanks to EVERYONE for all the support.
Btw Josh FYI Vimeo has that option. You can replace the whole video and keep all the history involved like comments etc.
Man, you are a Wizard in film making, congratulations! You should really begin a vlog channel, I wanna know more about you, man. Tell me, how do you feel so grown up even though you are so young?
I have to say, each video I think you can't get any better than this. Then you upload another and..... You did it again, awesome! I can't wait to see what is next. I also have a question, at about 5:10, when you are talking about the light messing up your camera, is that a lens cloud over the mountain behind you?
Not only are you a great Aviator, but also an outstanding film maker. This series is worthy of the big screen. Thank you so much for taking us along on this amazingly breathtaking journey.
Sent you a message on Patreon Josh about some XCs in your area.
This is probably one of the most beautiful videos on UA-cam
I think this might actually be the most beautiful video on UA-cam.
@@JeradBradley I agree my friend...STUNNING!!!
Absolutely I couldn’t agree more, stunning scenery, such an amazing looking place 👏👏👏👏👍
I wish to personally Thank you for the Outstanding Video but especially for the Smile you put on my Wife’s face while she was watching it as she is not long on this earth due to a illness that is shortening her life and for that I sincerely thanking you for your kindness in your Video
At first I was like "Eh, 30 minutes? Pretty long..." After 30 minutes I was like "Does it really end this soon, that was like 5 minutes!". This video was beyond perfect, like really, I will be replaying it again soon. I was completely stunned. Really big thanks for making this kind of video! The whole Alaska series makes me want to leave Europe and visit this piece of Earth, but this video really gave it the Crown!
Discovery channel worthy......well done, been planing that boat trips for years...hopefully someday
INDEED!
This is more than a UA-cam video. It definitely shares a little glimpse of Heaven. From the beautiful colors, waterfalls, seals, sunsets and sunrises, to the talent of filming and assembling the music and videos, we appreciate all of it. This inspires us! I also give a thumbs up to the wisdom, experience and forethought of your guide, Brian. Thank you so much.
All I can say is WOW!!! 40 years ago, as a young Private Pilot, I dreamed of going to Alaska as a Bush Pilot. As is the case with many others, life got in the way. School, a career and raising a family were my priorities. I can only hope to one day fly in Alaska and maybe even start a second career as a Bush Pilot. Thank you, Josh, not only for sharing your aviation experiences with us, but also for being the caring, safety and community focused pilot/filmmaker that you are and we should all aspire to be. I truly enjoy all of your videos, but this Alaskan Series was extra special to me. I'm just North of you, in Georgetown, TX and hope that one fine day we might be able to meet.
I like that noone talks a lot , just 3 people well aware of the beauty of nature and enjoying it. This Alaska series is probably one of the best things i have ever seen on youtube. Should be an IMAX movie.
@National Geographic:
Please give this man an airplane, a camera and sound setup, and a good budget. Let him fly the world and tell the stories of where aviators go and the adventures they find when they arrive. This is top-notch level work coming from a person with an obvious passion. David Attenborough now has a worthy successor.
Josh...just magnificent! At 80 I only fly RC now but I get my vicarious thrills from watching you, and other, vloggers on their channels full of adventure. This Alaska series has just blown it all away! I have been to Alaska twice and my next trip will be just as soon as I can get there again. Why...? Your series says it all! It is very difficult to put into words all that Alaska evokes in the human spirit. You can take photos and videos, and you can describe it to everyone, but until you experience that singular moment of wonder as you gaze upon this vastness of beauty and feel the awesome sense of creation present everywhere you will not be complete! Thank you so very much for bringing that to those who will never have a chance to see it in person. You have a remarkable gift for storytelling and I will always be a listener. Clear skies and safe flying! Cheers, Dave Thomas
I cried once or twice. Awesome job conveying not only the beauty but also the grandeur of the scenery.
Amazing video Josh definitely movie quality and should be aired on National Geographic it is that good.
I agree .
I wouldn't want to take away from the quality of this video by handing it over to NG in any way.
Over the years I’ve seen many pictures that Brian has taken of his excursions up Prince William Sound, but this video captured the experience like none other. Brian is my cousin.
Thank you for producing and sharing this!
This video, and your whole Alaska series, is Nat Geo level material. You bring it to the level of the actual daily lives of people living there. Thank you so much, both you and Chris, for bringing us with you!
I am truly blown away by the majestic beauty of Alaska. The serene peacefulness of it all. I am like you were when you and Chris flew in the mountains around Denali. Speechless. Thanks bud and be safe
Glad to see you branching out and filming other things besides aviation. As much as I love flying, there are many other cool adventures that don't involve airplanes.
You & Josh need to hook up & film an adventure together one day.
"Breathtakingly beautiful"...almost like it was designed so that we would look for something beyond ourselves huh? Creation continues to leave me in awe.
Idk how this video doesn’t have millions of views truly beautiful
This is one of the best UA-cam videos I have seen...ever.
I can only hope and pray that Alaska forever stays wild and natural. With fewer and fewer places like this in the world, it is truly a place unique unto itself.
Words cannot describe the beauty in this video. The shots from the boat and from the water were spectacular, but what pulled it all together for me was the drone shots. I especially like the shots going up and down the rock canyon at the 25:30 mark. THANKS!!
It’s an absolute sin that this video only has 31k views. Some of the best footage I’ve ever seen, anywhere. I wasn’t even there and became emotional after several of the shots you got. Thank you for your work and sharing this experience with me.
You did good! My wife is from Alaska and we return as often as is possible. It really is one of those places you have to physically be present to "soak" in the beauty. Thanks for your fine video work.
I love it all, especially the almost turquoise ice and water. it appears you have made friends for life in Alaska! This film is awesome, you should be getting a short film award.
Hey Josh. While I have been enjoying all of your videos for a long time, this one is most definitely one of my favorites. You managed to take an old man (me) from Wimberley, Texas hill country to one of the most scenic and beautiful landscapes (and seascapes) in the world, even if it was just in my mind. Thank you, young man.
First I want to say THANK YOU! It is hard to say how I feel about this. It is kind of I love that you got to do this and that you took the time and trouble to film it so we can see. I have not done much videos to put on here. In fact I did just one! It was some photos of my father that I put together, from what I could find, WWII, Korea, then some of the places we got to go to as I family. That gave me an idea how much it takes to make videos. I just wished I could go to see this for myself. But I know I never will. Watching the your videos is as good as I get!
As an Alaskan myself... I hadn't realized the beauty of my state to this degree. this was beautifully shot. thank you for sharing.
You deserve an Emmy for this Alaska Series. Everything from editing, music selects, aerials, cinematography and narration is spot on! Well done sirs!
Man simply can not create this amazing scenery. When there's no words, there's only one word, God.
Josh, I don't know what you do for a full time job but if it's not cinematography you've missed your calling. Having lived in Alaska albeit many years ago, you even had me in awe of the wonders and magic that is Alaska. You my friend hit the nail on the head with this video. I'm so glad you had the opportunities you did while visiting up there to see what you saw and experience what you did. I miss Alaska greatly and want to go back so bad. I will one of these days but when I do, it'll be as a licensed pilot so I can view it the way I did when I lived there flying her skies as a Coast Guard HC-130 Flight Engineer. It'll be even better when I get to do it as PIC. Take care and stay safe.
You’ve brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing god beautiful work and design. Thank you aviation spirit for allowing these guys to do so!
This movie made me speechless... I cannot imagine the feeling of actually being there... Stunning.
Kudos to you and Chris of Angle of Attack for making yet another superb video experience. From the frying halibut to the fresh glacier water and the sounds of kayak paddles beneath majestic water falls. If I ever wanted to see Alaska, I definitely want to now.
You were right, switch to 4K to view... AMAZING. The aerial footage is so epic. Great job Josh.
Ok, so now the 65” 4k ROKU TV finally was worth it! Been watching the whole series on this and way beyond amazing! Thank you for the journey of a lifetime. Seems like the seals don’t mind the drone, but take off when the kayaks come close. Many people don’t know that seals must be out of the water over 8 hours a day or they get hypothermic, like us in about 20 minutes or less in those waters with any gear on. 😎
BREATHTAKING.....no other words can describe it. Great series all the way around.
Can't say enough good things about your photography, editing, and story telling. And the C-Dory is about the most seaworthy boat you can get for the money. I dream of owning one someday.
One word for you, Josh.......
IMAX.
Dang, you have a gift. This one quite literally left me speechless. I had to watch a few times before commenting.
So beautiful we need to protect it more!
Quite possibly your best Josh. Several moments of indescribable beauty. Even one that surprised me so much I didn’t notice until I felt the lone tear trickling along my cheek. I’m certain if there is a God he’d never allow empirical evidence. Also certain on the other hand the circumstantial would be absolutely overwhelming. Thx Josh.
god josh, this has to be the best work you've put out on your channel! ill say the best work you have ever done. the story telling and videography is on par if not better than some of the natgeo or discovery channels. if this is the quality of content your pushing now, the best is yet to come! i look forward to the day i have to go to the theater for your content! bravo josh, bravo!
This is the first of your videos that I've watched that doesn't contain any flying. It was amazing! I may watch it again sometime on the big screen with the sound bar going and just enjoy it all over again!
Insanely jealous. Some of the most beautiful scenery in the world in my opinion. Somewhere I desperately want to visit, and possibly live. And something I'm coming to realize, even if I don't accept, is not meant to be. Your entire trip was amazing, but this 4 day section is the Alaska that so many dream of. Go back, as often as you can, and health allows. Those memories are worth so much more than what they cost to make.
Thanks for sharing.
How beautiful. Perfect top off to a wonderful day. I must say that God created a masterpiece you shared through your video. I am blessed!!!
I left from Whittier on a solo canoe trip (about two weeks), on Prince William Sound back in the early 90's. Marvelous.
Truly the best video I have ever seen. Never saw anything like it. A treasure that I will.cherish. Thank you so much.
This was sensational. Very glad that you took the time to post it. The editing and videography is brilliant. My favourite part is at 11.13 - the scenery is overwhelming and the kayaker seems insignificant against this mighty back drop.
Thank you for sharing.
Wow!!! At 30:20, that ice chunk looked like a Carnival cruise ship!!! Such an AWESOME video!!! Keep them coming! And can't wait for the regular at home videos to begin again!!!
Just finished watching the 12 parts, plus the bonus footage of this trip. Amazing experience and fantastic film making.
Wow, Wow. You just keep outdoing yourself. You are an amazing young man with the greatest prospective in the world as we know it. Yesterday I drove from Massillon, Oh to Bluffton airport in western Ohio so to visit with my Cessna Skyhawk N3936L from yesteryear. The new owner second since I sold it in 1974 keeps it amazing. He's your fan also and told me about this last Alaska video. I took numerous pictures of 36L. Thanks for this great video to share.
Would have given up some flight time for this experience also in a heartbeat. For those of you who find yourselves fortunate enough to be able to go to this area its just outside of Anchorage and there are plenty of shuttle services that can take you to Whittier. There is even train service and my suggestion would be to ride the train. I cannot recommend highly enough if you can do anything do the "26 Glacier Cruise" out of Whittier. It's on a triple level motorized tri hull and it'll take you right up closer to the Glaciers than the cruise ships can get. Hearing the glacier thunder and seeing them calve is undescribable. The otters and sea lions are everywhere. It is truly the trip of a lifetime.
Closest thing to heaven on earth ..... well done Josh!
I think you should be rewarded for this beautiful film production, my friend... That trip was spot on...
Your coverage of Alaska was absulutely awesome with this one a big win. The drone give some spectacular views that only a drone can do, and it helps to have a chef on board, that can boat, cook and fly and a thanks to the boat owner. The fresh water was interesting, a pity one cannot communicate taste.
Your footage from the Prince William Sound equals or surpasses anything Smithsonian has ever done! Your drone footage was unbelievable flying over the glaciers! Most of us will never get to Alaska and surely an Alaskan cruise or visit will not compare with what you had put together. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Country so beautiful it makes you cry!
WORLD CLASS! Thanks for sharing with US! Best Cheers!!
unbelievable, beautiful beyond words, breathtaking, I don't have words to describe it, and now all I want is to go a visit Alaska.... great, awesome work... very well done.. congratulations
I suspect you have yellow haze, orange glare and polarizing filters.That is some truly amazing scenery you were privileged to to see!
I have been to Whittier by car driving down from Anchorage. My first thought while there eating lunch was I wanted to get out on the water. Not having a boat, nor was it the season for cruise ships I just had to soak in the beauty and wish. Thank you for doing what I was not able to do.
Outstanding ! Simply outstanding ! You did it, the clarity of this video and attention to panning is very professional. I enjoyed each minute. Thanks for offering us the opportunity to view your efforts.
This is a absolutely stunning video and really captures Alaska unique characteristics and stunning ness. This video is definitely worth a feature film nomination
i think your skill as an aviator may be eclipsed only by your skill as a filmmaker. phenomenal!
This video needs to be shared and deserves millions of views
Stunning cinematography, I watched it on my phone and then had to watch it on my 4K tv twice.
Even burritos looked good in 4 k
Utterly..............Speechless...............
This video should have millions of views. I was blown away!!
Cinematography level....graduate. Well done, Josh.
You sir have put together an incredible story. I am so inspired to see north America after this.. You sir have changed my direction in life.
Thanks for the effort taken in this video resulting in changes in my future.
Josh,
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!! Alaska has always been on my bucket list, I just never could convince the wife it should be on hers too, well if this video doesn't immediately put Alaska to the number one position on her bucket list I don't know if anything will. I predict a trip to Alaska in my very near future, Thanks again Josh.
This whole Alaska series has been truly awe inspiring, the production has been out of this world. If the flying thing doesn't work out for you, I think you could probably just scrape by on film making. 😄
Hey Josh, absolutely fantastic series. I came across it while under lockdown here in Cape Town, South Africa. The cinematography is outstanding and i can only imagine how long it must take to edit. Even the choice of music is fitting. Your calming narration is also informative and keeps us interested with a combination of the flying but also the places visited . Congrats and well done. Thanks for taking us along. By far the best thing I've seen on youtube.
Thanks Josh. Wonderful view of our beautiful earth.
Josh, Great job on this video. We didn't miss each other by much as I was up in that area not but 9 days before that. My Wife and I got married on the Colony Glacier on June 12th. We rented a helicopter for the day to fly around and get pictures and got the opportunity to fly over the end and into Prince William Sound. Although being on the glacier and the scenery around it were amazing nothing compared to what we saw in the Sound and the 3 or 4 glaciers we could see feeding into it. We had a super Pilot and Photographer that landed us on the side of the mountain and some of best pictures came from this spot. Great job on this Yours and Chris' skills really show on this one. Have a great New Year and keep up the great work. I am not flying at this stage in my life so you and the others that are putting out great videos keep it going in me.
Another excellent video, what I found as refreshing as that water was seeing and enjoying glaciers for what they are without once hearing about global warming, thanks!
when every frame could be a screen saver...
David, Alaska is one big screen savor!😉
It really isn't fair, I hatched with two opposable thumbs but I can only give you one Josh. Believe me, consider its partner pointing skywards in joint homage even if you don't get to count it. This was superb, as was all the Alaska series.
Thanks, fly safe. Tom
Josh, all I can say is WOW! Took our recommendation, and watched it on my hi-def TV with the high-end sound system in the theater room. It was a fantastic experience. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely awesome adventure, seemingly filmed and edited by true professionals. Your Alaska series has been very pleasant indeed.
What an adventure. I agree with you Josh that this one trip will be with you forever. Your videos went from breathtaking to just plain awe inspiring. As a fairly long time sub i say thanks for having me along. Be safe
Better than anything I have ever seen on National Geographic or Discovery Channel. Thanks for sharing. it was amazing on video. I can only imagine the thrill of being there in person.
Thanks for sharing your time with us Josh.
Stunning and beautiful. Very well shot and edited, thank you.
Josh two words, simply Amazing!!!!! Thank you so much!
Absolutely stunning. Excellent drone shots/flying. Thanks for sharing. Next best thing to being there.
Ethereal is the best word I can come up with to describe this video. I've only gotten to see some of what you showed up close from a cruise ship. Your Alaska flying adventure has been a dream of mine for many many years. Something I hope to make happen soon. Thank you so much for putting out such AMAZING content. Be well.
Spectacular film! Color and content is superb with great background music. You have truly enriched your life!
Simply Amazing!!! Often times pictures and videos don't do the actual scenery justice but you are a master in showcasing the Alaskan beauty. I don't think you realize how much you inspire people. Not only to pursue aviation but also to seek out adventures. After following you for several years, you have motivated this old dog to return to flying in the quest to discover the unbeaten paths all over this country. Thank you!!!
Beautiful cinematics, sweet background musics and insane views, awsome !
Staggeringly well done. I lost count of the wows. The level at which you have accelerated in Film making is other worldly. Well done buddy.
I think that you are the best aviation youtuber ever. i am now starting flight training because you sparked my passion for flying. thank you so much
Josh, Watching in 4K was just breath taking. What a beautiful place on the planet you brought to us. I wonder if you could find the time to comment on the drone used for some of the video. It was excellent as well. I think you did it so well that you fulfilled that bucket list adventure for many of us, certainly for me. And after watching the entire series, I will never forget the sound of Chris's unique "clear" out of my head. Thank You, stay healthy and I appreciate all the work you do to bring these videos to me.
National Geography is calling for you!! Awesome!!
one word.......Breathtaking!
Josh,
Thank you for taking me along! Through your willingness to document, film and give us a little portion of your life, I have experienced and have enjoyed things that I will never experience personally. I am thankful and grateful for your talents!
Outstanding Josh, this adventure and documentary is beyond incredible.
Very beautiful video, Josh! Great work! I am curious to find out what's going on the minds of the people who disliked this video. Please explain your reason for disliking this video.
Breathtaking footage .. Thank you for sharing your experiences .
Very well done. I really enjoyed this video. Ever since I came to Alaska in 2009 I have wanted to see Prince William Sound. This summer a kayak trip is on the list.
21:19 I guess that's the closest that _this_ video is gettin' to a *CcLleEAarR!!* , huh. ...Well, it certainly is clear water, neh-neh? :)
I am watching this a year after you posted and I'm sorry I don't have a greater social media presence. This video is truly inspiring and that only 24k people at the time of this writing have viewed is disappointing. This is truly beautiful and I appreciate what you have shared and inspired the viewer to experience. I truly hope to experience this during my time but I appreciate that I at least get to view it.
