Now that is my kind of date! I think it has been over 40 years since I have had homemade clam chowder. (It's been 61 yrs since I have dug for clams). I love watching your channel! I can't wait to see more!
You need a clam pole for each of you to double your efforts! What a fun & successful outing! Everett was having a blast!! Your Clam Chowder looks delicious! 😋
Great video!! It was so cool 😎 to see the clam using its foot to get under the sand. I laughed when you said when you see brown flush it down. The clam chowder looked delicious 😋
Omg that was amazing, and your hubbys a pilot, (action man) lol chowder looked amazing pops was soon on the scene! Great fun. A day in the life of how the luckiest people in the world live, and your little boy is the cutest! You are extremely lucky to have such a wonderfull life(don't envy it just enjoy it for you guy's) gob bless my darlingsx 🇬🇧🌝💖🤗🇬🇧
WOW! oh my gosh what an amazing trip! Thank you for sharing- love the beauty of the scenery! I've never been clamming before but this looks like a lot of fun!!
How awesome was this? I would have never dreamed that's how you looked for clams, I loved it! Holy moly, it is a lot of work through to the finished product, but...YUM!!! Thanks for such a great adventure, Mark!!! 🌼
So much fun to see how you all work together as a family, digging clams & having fun. It is amazing to see how you can gather, harvest, hunt & fish for all these fabulous eats. So incredibly healthy. Very fun to watch.. Sending love from Minnesota. 🐰🦀🦞🦐🦑🐳🐬🐟🐠🐡🐋🦭🦦
Yep, it’s a physically demanding process to get those clams from the beach to the table. I think they have some commercial tools like sprayers and tractors to make it a bit easier on a commercial basis, but still a lot of work.
One of my favorite UA-cam channel's Wildwood Off Grid Alaska just mentioned you in their last video. I didn't realize you had a separate UA-cam account. I'll have to check you out later today maybe.
The big tide was the same weekend as Valdez this year, and I'll be out of state for the June tide, but hopefully I can get out there in July. We should put our 170s together for a picture sometime.
A whole lotta fun watching your adventure, and beginning to end clamming how-to. Oh, and the whole Alaska thing. My dream is to move back within a few years. Really enjoy both your channels. Thanks for taking the time.
I LOVE your channel!!! That day looked like so much fun. Again, I learned so much. I eat clam chowder but never knew how to actually catch them. You definitely are an asset to the State of Alaska as you highlight the amazing things there are to do there. I’m adding visiting to my bucket list. Loved watching Lauren getting involved too…perfect day spent with her husband in my opinion. Thank you Mark and Lauren for bringing us along! Love to you all xxx
The Alaska Boys really know how to take a girl on the best dates. From the plane ride, Landscape, the landing, the Sand Angels, the digging, the joy of finding a clam, watching Lauren whisper to the Clams, Everett helping Dad, eating oreos, to seeing the marvelous Clam do its life, the preparation, the Thanksgiving prayer, the feast of the clam bounty, the love of sweet Family, the preservation, the love of a wife and Mother, to officially, BEST DATE EVER!!! I couldn't ask for a better way to start my Saturday. Mark you are so witty, funny, an awesome teacher, and so generous. This channel rocks. Can't wait, can't wait for the next adventure. Hi to Laurens Dad. Maybe next time he could go. No more imitation crab. You fixed that problem.
Best date ever lasts until 1:37AM 😉. That looked like so much fun and the reward absolutely scrumptious 😋. The views from the Airplane never get old something different to see each and every season in Alaska. Thanks so much for sharing your date with us and Everett 🥰
When we took off it was spring near the house, but flying down that way they seem to get a bunch more snow and was surprised how much was still on the ground. The never ending date lol 😂
just finished the Costco haul & the newest foam video..I swear I thought I was subbed to this channel too but wasn't! oh & I filled out the form you had on the community tab on the other channel..great video! never knew so much went into it. my husband make linguine and clams in a white sauce but we cheat & used canned. fresh would be amazing! 1lb of linguine 1 tablespoon of olive oil 4 cloves of garlic minced 1/4 cup clam juice 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped 2-(6.5 oz of clams) 1/2 stick of butter 2 cups chicken brother 1/4 cup red pepper flakes(optional) salt & pepper to taste **bring pasta to an al dente consistency in separate pan add in clams & ingredients (no pasta yet) to a low boil abt 3-5 min..add in half stick butter...then add linguine til heated up..enjoy!
Wow what a cool excursion. The market price today here $25 LB. Just curious after you calculate the expense of adventure, I would think you still come under that price. Really cool fun & informative video I can't believe how much I'm enjoying it. Ty
I’m not sure, we probably had 40 lbs of cans by the end, but not sure what that translates into raw clam meat. Prob 15-20 lbs of clam meat? We saw a few commercial clam diggers as we flew in, they had a boat supporting them so they didn’t have to carry the heavy loads up the beach.
I wonder if the way we dig our Uk razor clams works? (different species) but we put table salt on the hole wait a minute they come up and we grab em! i have no idea if that would work with your clams ofc!
@@AlaskaBoys as I said different species but I would be very curious to see if it would work? Here's an example ua-cam.com/video/3tLY7eJM7ZA/v-deo.html
15 is the limit here in Washington state but they let us get 20 for a limited time this season and they are yummy! I clean them a little different , bread and deep fried!
is there a book you guys use o8ve to learn to can?? ivecanned jal n serranos from mygsrden . i want to can other things . also would not let me text you so i will send u my adress n info in the reg mail if thats ok? love your vids n family
There are quite a few resources online for canning, and we use a booklet that came with our canner. The local USDA cooperative extension center has info for safe canning of local AK food. Good luck and keep trying.
"I'm Tanning!!" Classic!
😂
Now that is my kind of date! I think it has been over 40 years since I have had homemade clam chowder. (It's been 61 yrs since I have dug for clams). I love watching your channel! I can't wait to see more!
A good Christian family living off Gods bounty what could be better, and canning for further usage !
Hi guys, have come hooked on your channels. What a great day at the the beach!! Good to see kids being kids! Cheers very entertaining.
You need a clam pole for each of you to double your efforts! What a fun & successful outing! Everett was having a blast!! Your Clam Chowder looks delicious! 😋
This the best love every bit of it Big thank you Mark Lauren Everett love the whole Video ❤️
👍👍
Great video!! It was so cool 😎 to see the clam using its foot to get under the sand. I laughed when you said when you see brown flush it down. The clam chowder looked delicious 😋
Clams are strange and interesting creatures. It was cool to see it actually digging away.
Omg that was amazing, and your hubbys a pilot, (action man) lol chowder looked amazing pops was soon on the scene! Great fun. A day in the life of how the luckiest people in the world live, and your little boy is the cutest! You are extremely lucky to have such a wonderfull life(don't envy it just enjoy it for you guy's) gob bless my darlingsx 🇬🇧🌝💖🤗🇬🇧
Someone has really upped the filming and editing, the quality of how you are putting the videos together just keeps on getting better and better!!
Thanks for the encouragement.
This was amazing 🤩 can I say 😯 wow. Love your family. Prayer is always first.
Thanks for watching. 🤙
WOW! oh my gosh what an amazing trip! Thank you for sharing- love the beauty of the scenery! I've never been clamming before but this looks like a lot of fun!!
It’s a fun process, but a lot of work too if you end up with a bunch.
What a fun adventure, hard work, but the end result - yum!
You summed it up well, fun, lots of work, and great eats all year long. 👍👍
Such a fun video!! I always catch myself with a big smile on my face when ever I watch any of your videos. You guys are such a great family!
Thanks Amanda! We love getting out together as a family.

Luv these adventures. Hope there’s more to come. Hope all is well
Thanks again for the exciting adventure, everyone did an amazing job and again beautiful views. ❤️💕💜
Still enjoying the canned clams even after a few months.
Great video. Very interesting. Now i see why clams are pricey. 🤑 Thanks for sharing!
Yep, it’s a physically demanding process to get those clams from the beach to the table. I think they have some commercial tools like sprayers and tractors to make it a bit easier on a commercial basis, but still a lot of work.
Well that was fun never seen anybody do that before it's cool look it looked like a lot of work but well worth it God bless take care love you all
Thanks Vicky.
You guys are so cute! Great video!!
Glad you enjoyed it.

That’d be great to get out some time. Thanks for watching Levi. 👍👍
P.S. I have the same canner! But have never had close to a 94er (military jargon) "date". Well worth the effort -- all those cans!

So glad you enjoyed it Marcella. It was a really fun day, lots of hard work, but always a fun experience.
Awesome stuff! 👌
Thanks Nathan.
What a awesome day! I would love doing dates like that also💕
It’s good stuff.
I recognize that island i was there a year ago but we missed the tide with the boat and got stuck on a sand bar 1000 yards from the beach
Oh no! So no clams for you guys on that trip?
That's alot of work but seems like alit of fun! Enjoyed the video! Love clams.
Thanks for watching. Lots of work and lots of fun. 👍
Love your video ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you!!
So interesting!! I love clam chowder! Didn’t have a clue to all the work it takes in preparing the clams. Thanks for sharing.
Opening a can of clams from the store is SO much easier than what we did… 😂, but it’s all about the experience.
Learned how clams are harvested ❤
I am binge watching your channel. You are an amazing father! Wondering what region of Alaska you are based out of?
Thanks for the support! We are in Anchorage area.
Yum! Go Mom!
She’s awesome and we love her!
I really enjoyed the video 😀
Thank you for coming along 😀

Sounds delicious, we might just have to try that with some of our canned clams from this trip. 👍👍

Very interesting, I’ve never heard of anyone doing anything other than digging them out in ALaska. Either with a shovel or clam gun.
@@AlaskaBoys as I said different species but I would be very curious to see if it would work? Here's an example ua-cam.com/video/3tLY7eJM7ZA/v-deo.html
What a fun adventure!!
We are fortunate to be able to do these amazing things. Thanks for coming along.

15 is the limit here in Washington state but they let us get 20 for a limited time this season and they are yummy! I clean them a little different , bread and deep fried!
Is there a size limit on the 15 clams?
Absolutely beautiful
Thanks for commenting. It’s such a beautiful area. 👍👍
Alaskans don't tan. They RUST! This is one of my all time favorite activities in Alaska!
It was cute that he started soaking up the sun. It was a long winter, so even at 4, we are all ready when the warmth comes back.
THE BEGINNING OF TYE VIDEO, I HAVE THOSE SHEETS IN A TWIN.
If it’s brown flush it down 😂😂😂
Just calling it as we see it. 😂
How come when you travelled in the plane, there were 2 kids and when you returned there was only 1 kid, where did the girl went?
We were there with our friends who flew in another plane.
How do you humanly dispatch the clams?
Dip them in boiling water and then cut them up right away. You can see it in the video.
is there a book you guys use o8ve to learn to can?? ivecanned jal n serranos from mygsrden . i want to can other things . also would not let me text you so i will send u my adress n info in the reg mail if thats ok? love your vids n family
