As I'm sitting at my kitchen table in southern Ohio, watching this, I am shaking my head in complete awe of your incredible life choices and experiences. You are living an absolutely amazing, substantive reality!!! The scenery is so expansive and other worldly. I am 63 with a lifetime of building skills, carpentry, log building, woodworking/furniture making, plumbing, electric, roofing, running equipment, saw milling, on and on. Would you please consider adopting me? I won't be any trouble at all. I can sleep on the floor with the dogs. Just a wonderful video.
The ice is called “the fingers of death”. It’s made when the salt from the sea hits the fresh water and super freezes it in long shards. When the glacier breaks it’s called calving.
Haven't watched video yet, and you may not like this, but for people like me, you're a breath of fresh air. I lived that life. Trapping, hunting, fishing, logging. 22 years in Alaska. But life has a way to change your course.
Yes it does... I came up here in 96 lived in the bush, ran dogs, etc... after an injury I have been unable to to many of the things I loved to do. My advise to them enjoy your youth...
I LOVE how the food is always one of Eric's favourites. I know people suggest a cookbook all of the time and I have heard you reply that you don't usually follow recipes and use weird ingredients. I honesty think that if you just wrote down approximately what you use, include the weird ingredients that we would be unlikely to have, we would all buy it anyway. If for nothing else than to support you and to enjoy the awesome pictures that you would include!!!!
This was like watching a National Geographic documentary! The drone bit at the end....you were just tiny little figures in that great expanse of ice and snow....poetic....I have no words. Love to you both from New Hampshire. Suzi
I have almost words....this was the most outstanding video that I've ever seen along with the music and the drone shots and the feeling I got watching this video. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I so love you guys. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Bo sightings: 1:13 - this water’s cold 2:47 - I’m so excited 3:13 - loving the breeze 3:38 - how do you like my monkey sweater? 4:13 - I could have done that 4:36 - meh, get me a better one - Bandit can have this one 5:33 - Ready, mom! 6:58 - where are we? 10:49 - can I get a lift again? 11:49 - hi 12:24 - wait up dad 13:00 - what’s cookin’? 14:24 - I like apples and hanging out near the food 15:15 - hi, just want to make sure I’m in the video 18:01 - are we in the desert? 19:46 - scritches 22:42 - let’s gooooo! 23:30 - hi 23:40 - I’m soaking wet now, too
What an adventure, and tasting a glacier, now that's EPIC! Do yourselves a favor, invest in a pushpole and paddle for the boat. You can secure them out of the way along the gunwal. After years of guiding, I wouldn't leave the landing without these items. As handy as Eric is, you could probably make one 😉 but the telescopic aluminum ones are much easier to store away in the boat.
I'm in my fifties and I haven't met many couples who communicate as well as you two. Kuddos to you! You are *perfect* for each other! It is a pleasure viewing your videos. Thanks for inviting us in! 🥰
I know that feeling when you're on a adventure but don't feel 100% safe but are proud of yourself after doing it and are happy you made it out alive! Beautiful glacier water ! Thank you for taking us on another awesome adventure ❤️🏔
I’m getting close to 70, and may never get to cross Alaska off my bucket list. So…. Thanks for taking me on your journies! Your photography is absolutely awesome. Keep on getting home safe as you keep on going!!
Only you two are crazy enough to boat this river! When you are the only ones on the river...there is a reason. Well done. I was holding my breath the whole way!
That was a giant river compared to what we run down south My jet is a 300 v8 outboard on a 20 ft aluminum southfork and it will go through 1.5 inches of water
Ariel using drone controls... cut to picture of plane flying...Cal says to his wife, "Wait - how big IS their drone?..." Much laughter here in Michigan. Thanks for another great adventure!!!
I just realized how much I am addicted to your weekly coverage of "Simple Living Alaska" in a very positive meaning. It is surprisingly very informative, person can actually learn something watching your channel. Thanks, please don't stop! :)
When you look or read on a DICTIONARY the definition of “marriage”, these guys are it. They compliment each other, they help each other, you can tell they aren’t faking their marriage at all, wow 🤩 God bless you guys!! From Texas with love
Another epic adventure. Thanks for taking us along to see the Knik Glacier. You two always come up with the best adventures!! I'm always looking forward to your next video!
No matter how many vids in which the dogs are filmed I can’t help sending prayers for their health. They are remarkable in so many ways. You guys have added long life for these dogs through caring hands.
Even knowing you guys were safe and sound when I saw this, my heart was in my mouth. I just wanted you out of there, but what a beautiful sight to see-the water and the ice from the glaciers. WOW is all I can say. Hope your warranty is still good on the boat, and they fix your reverse. Please stay safe and God bless you two. Thanks so much for sharing.
This video was fabulous y’all take us places that we can only dream of. Thank y’all so much for sharing your wonderful adventures with us. Y’all ROCK! Love 💕 y’all!
Absolutely amazing and gorgeous video! Thank you a million for sharing your adventures with us. Always a joy to experience your videos. Already impatiently waiting for the other video 🙂. Much love from the Caribbean in Trinidad 🇹🇹
Well, my opinion of the scariest adventure was the salmon fishing on that incredibly steep bank with a super-fast river; the best was the blue glacier which simply took my breath away.
Best part about your videos is your 2 older dogs that you treat so well. You can tell how much they mean to you, and how much they love you back. 💕 🐶 So sweet.
That was spectacular!! Your music choices to go along with whatever was going on at the time in the video were epic. Thanks for showing us so much good stuff in Alaska.
Something I love about your channel is that you don't clog up your content with sponsorships and sales pitches. Your content is always high quality, informative, and entertaining. I hope you know how much we all appreciate you! The NPS is going to hire Arielle to take photographs one of these days, just like Dick Proenneke. 🙂
This was awesome! The views, the music, the drone footage, everything…the excitement & adrenaline rush were palatable. I’ve only felt that a couple times in my life, where you’re so awe-struck/excited/scared that you forget to exhale. Fantastic!!!
Truely fabulous videos. Great Scenery. I love the Dogs they are so unusual breeds for these adventures however great pets. Love the drone footage of the Glacier. God Bless.
Gorgeous and exciting outing! Always fun to watch Bandit and Bo being Mr. Adventure and Mr. Mellow respectively. Salmon rolls are now on my must make list. Thanks for sharing your fun times.
“Left or right? left or right?… so we went left…that wasn’t right!” 😂 well said! Thank you for the awesome video wow absolutely breathtaking footage and I’m glad y’all got back home safe and sound! ✌️
My mouth is watering hearing about those salmon rolls! I’d love to see a video of you making them Arielle. AND Bandit! He looks like he’s having his own little adventure out there. Another amazing video!!!
Wow! Such a beautiful & remote place, that most of us might never get to see - thank you for sharing the beauty of Mother Nature. Those drone shots at the end were amazing!
WOW!! The mountains and glaciers are so beautiful, and that water is just amazing(the color)! Glad you made it safe and sound. If I could send you some more sunshine from southern Arizona I sure would, I'd love to have some of your clouds and rain! It's 100 degrees here today,and was 104 yesterday.😬 Love you guys! Keep on keepin' on🤙
Ms Brown - be warned, Robert William is that guys sixth username and at least the third different photo he's used for a thumbnail. He's either a scammer or a stalker - only ever replies to women, only ever visits channels popular with women.
I’m originally from Argentina, and this reminds me of the breathtaking glaciers we have in Patagonia. Loved it. I could almost feel that fresh cold air off glaciers, and how fun to take your boat in those waters. Scary! Keep on trying scary things!
My favorite part is how much you appreciate your surroundings.... WE don't get to see this everyday, but you guys do. I love how much YOU love it! Thanks for taking us along!
Absolutely gorgeous! Love the color of the water. Bandit gets so excited about water ❤️. You guys work so hard to live there. It’s nice when you’re able to get out and have a day trip. Take care and God bless y’all.
The glacier was breathtaking. What an amazing place. The salmon rolls looked like a delicious salmon pizza. Your jet boat is nice. I can see how you would be apprehensive about maneuvering thru those sketchy waterways. Wonderful adventure and great video!
I think this was one of my favorite videos! Those salmon rolls looked amazing and I'm like Ariel, I want to climb everything for that view. Great shots, really great editing and super good reminders that there is a real challenge to these adventures and they can be very scary. But worth it.
I hope you have some dry bags with extra clothing and food..matches etc. you never know when an unexpected something happens. An overnight stay on a very cold beach maybe! Your adventures do get the heart pumping. Absolutely Gorgeous. I can only imagine what your eyes are seeing. As a kayaker, you learn to read the water very well. The more your out on the water the more comfortable you will be. But never let your guide down. I hope your ride back to your truck was uneventful. Be safe! Looking forward for you next video, they don’t come fast enough. 😃
WOW! Definitely one of your best video! The views are indescribably beautiful, its like being on another planet! Your videos are very professional quality. I was holding my breath while you were traveling on the river. Great job Captain Eric! No encounter with bears?🙁
Love this video. I need to remember to watch your videos on days that I am not fasting. Love the French press coffee and cooking in a cast iron pot on an adventure to a glacier. Only you two can have such an amazing life. Thanks for sharing. Glacier blue is beautiful.
18:45 - So cool! I wonder if that fragmentation is due to the pressure the ice was under in the glacier. It reminds me of basalt columns which form hexagonal pillars when the magma cools and solidifies under intense pressures.
Glaciologist here! This is a great example of candle ice. Candle ice can form on lakes like this one during the melt season and is indicative of ice that has begun to "rot". The columnar shape results from the hexagonal structure of ice crystals which are weakest at the edges. This allows for sun and water to melt the ice perpendicular to the surface along these borders resulting in ice "candles".
No, it's just Candled Ice. Sometimes people call it Needle Ice. We get that on our lake too. It's pretty cool. Actually, this spring our hockey rink on the back yard turned into that as well, it's pretty fun to play with.
This is awesome this is exactly why I moved to Alaska My grandfather built a fishing boat back in the fifties and he and my grandmother went to Alaska fishing I remember as a kid watching videos of the trip and has been a bucket list for me
Thank You for letting us join. I'll never be able to see the real deal but I feel like I've been on a real tour. You guys are awesome. The meal looked amazing and tasty 😋. Enjoy every minute with you guys. Gloria Rodgers 😘🥰💜 Knoxville Tennessee USA 🇺🇸
Outstanding video! You really captured the anxiety of pushing the envelope. There’s a reason no body else was there…sketchy was right! What I love about the two of you is that you are genuine. It’s like we are along the adventure with you. The videography is getting better with each adventure. Love that you always include the food you are eating and trying new things. Thank you!
When you pick up the icicles out of the water and say, oh these are pieces of the glacier. I thought, wow it's probably thousands of years old. Then you say, I'm gonna eat it, and chomped down on it. I lost it. Lol . What a great experience. I love watching you guys.❤
That was an EPIC trip! I don't know if it was the camera setting but the view was like being right there with you. The beauty of your surroundings was majestic. Arielle was right, in that moment, you couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you for taking us along for the ride. Also, you guys even upped picnic food to gourmet over the coals. (Though I expected that.😊) --Jessica from Florida 🌞
You've hit 580! Fantastic - you both deserve it. That's thousands not hundreds. Now I can watch the video. You have two of the luckiest dogs on earth. Bandit seems to thoroughly enjoy it. Bo seems to say , oh heck ANOTHER adventure!
Now that was an incredible adventure, those views are spectacular! Ariel you capture such beautiful drone footage, makes me feel like I'm there. Great job
This video made me very happy... when you're really hungry, every meal is a feast... when you're adrenaline is spiking cause you don't want to get the boat hung up, the water is more beautiful, and you have a great time... I'm still smiling cause the music was nice... though I really love the baby chick's, this was a great adventure!:-)
I never got a chance while in Alaska to visit a glacier. They were so far south of where I was. I've heard they are beautiful. The blue aspect is because the ice is dead or in other words contains no oxygen which creates a blue color. I find it so interesting how all that works and happened over thousands and thousands of years.
Of all the things I could say about why I love this video, I have to say the best part is experiencing the joy these two share in their relationship. I feel sure it’s something most of us never had. I also love how Eric loves and looks forward to feeding his hunger! As a mother of kids their age, I have to admit I get pretty tense on many of their adventures. When Ariel pointed out they were the only people out there and that meant they have to be responsible for themselves, it demonstrated to me that they’re on top of their game and keenly aware of the risks.
The photography in this video was outstanding. Especially the drone shots. But really all of it. The narrative with the breathtaking vista shots is a great combo. I enjoy your episodes very much. Thank you!!
You both are absolutely amazing and I admire your life choices you have made. The scenery is beyond beautiful and thank you for sharing. It's very inspirational.
As a being born and raised in southern China, now have been living in South Florida for 20+ years person, visiting Alaska was one of my big dreams. Finally in June 2019, we took 7-day Norwegian cruise from Vancouver to Seaward and then by bus to Anchorage as a family vacation. Alaska is always an awe-inspiring, majestic, breathtaking and mysterious place to me. I very enjoy your videos, they fulfill my curiosities about living in this beautiful state. Thank you for taking me along to your adventures. Take care and be safe.
My husband and I were married on a glacier. It was beautiful. So amazing to experience being up close. Wish I'd thought to taste it, though. Also, loved Eric's comments about the meal. I totally laughed out loud when Ariel rolled into the boat. So funny.
That ice Arielle picked from the water is "candled ice." Caused when pooling water melts through ice blocks on a lake or river. Love that music at the end. Beautiful scenery and cool video!
Don't know when this was filmed , but at 0:36 it shows that your regular 87 octane is only a Dime cheaper than here in East Tennessee ! The world has gone crazy !
As I'm sitting at my kitchen table in southern Ohio, watching this, I am shaking my head in complete awe of your incredible life choices and experiences. You are living an absolutely amazing, substantive reality!!! The scenery is so expansive and other worldly. I am 63 with a lifetime of building skills, carpentry, log building, woodworking/furniture making, plumbing, electric, roofing, running equipment, saw milling, on and on. Would you please consider adopting me? I won't be any trouble at all. I can sleep on the floor with the dogs. Just a wonderful video.
@@donaldmiller8629 That would be fine too!
If you have those skills you will do well up here. Guaranteed.
I moved up here 23 years ago from the midwest and it was difficult but I've never regretted it for one single second.
I already told em I'd be willing to live in the chicken coop. But I haven't heard back yet...
@@downhillnut2273 Lol
The ice is called “the fingers of death”. It’s made when the salt from the sea hits the fresh water and super freezes it in long shards. When the glacier breaks it’s called calving.
Merci pour l'information. Thank you for the information.
There is no salt water that far up the river. It's a good 20-30 miles from nearest salt water.
Haven't watched video yet, and you may not like this, but for people like me, you're a breath of fresh air. I lived that life. Trapping, hunting, fishing, logging. 22 years in Alaska. But life has a way to change your course.
You need a UA-cam channel
Doesn't it though!
Yes it does... I came up here in 96 lived in the bush, ran dogs, etc... after an injury I have been unable to to many of the things I loved to do. My advise to them enjoy your youth...
Can’t take those memories tho!
David!!!!!! DAVID!! Perfect/i miss you

Hey, fellow Granite Stater!
I have almost words....this was the most outstanding video that I've ever seen along with the music and the drone shots and the feeling I got watching this video. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I so love you guys. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
I really like Eric's constant appreciation of everything around
They're both always so appreciative and in awe of everything in life, even their cups of coffee. It's so cute to watch.
@@Slnaocwe There is beauty in everything, being able to be present and in the moment to see it leads to a life well lived.
these guys should get paid by tourism Alaska just sayin
Bo sightings:
1:13 - this water’s cold
2:47 - I’m so excited
3:13 - loving the breeze
3:38 - how do you like my monkey sweater?
4:13 - I could have done that
4:36 - meh, get me a better one - Bandit can have this one
5:33 - Ready, mom!
6:58 - where are we?
10:49 - can I get a lift again?
11:49 - hi
12:24 - wait up dad
13:00 - what’s cookin’?
14:24 - I like apples and hanging out near the food
15:15 - hi, just want to make sure I’m in the video
18:01 - are we in the desert?
19:46 - scritches
22:42 - let’s gooooo!
23:30 - hi
23:40 - I’m soaking wet now, too
Very well said! 🤣
Very important info!
I’m pretty sure 12:24 is “This cold! This cold!”
Oh my gosh I just love that boy and his monkey sweater💕
This is work of love for Bo…
What an adventure, and tasting a glacier, now that's EPIC! Do yourselves a favor, invest in a pushpole and paddle for the boat. You can secure them out of the way along the gunwal. After years of guiding, I wouldn't leave the landing without these items. As handy as Eric is, you could probably make one 😉 but the telescopic aluminum ones are much easier to store away in the boat.
I'm in my fifties and I haven't met many couples who communicate as well as you two. Kuddos to you! You are *perfect* for each other! It is a pleasure viewing your videos. Thanks for inviting us in! 🥰
I know that feeling when you're on a adventure but don't feel 100% safe but are proud of yourself after doing it and are happy you made it out alive! Beautiful glacier water ! Thank you for taking us on another awesome adventure ❤️🏔
How's the composting outhouse working out?
I’m getting close to 70, and may never get to cross Alaska off my bucket list.
So….
Thanks for taking me on your journies! Your photography is absolutely awesome. Keep on getting home safe as you keep on going!!
I grew up on Tampa Bay, FL. They're living my life, 180 degrees opposite. Lol. As always all the best to everyone. Chef Scott 👨🍳

If I didn’t know the backstory, watching this video, I would assume it was a professional production. Excellent work. Just beautiful.
Who was waiting for Eric to say “Oh my Gosh” when he tasted that piece of glazier?? I just loved every part of this video! Absolutely gorgeous!!
Absolutely amazing and gorgeous video! Thank you a million for sharing your adventures with us. Always a joy to experience your videos. Already impatiently waiting for the other video 🙂.
Much love from the Caribbean in Trinidad 🇹🇹
Breathtaking Beautiful, thank you so much guys!!!!! That video lifted my spirits!
OMG I so enjoy going on virtual adventures with you two!!!!
One of your top 5 videos in my opinion. Bandit is a young pup at heart.
Well, my opinion of the scariest adventure was the salmon fishing on that incredibly steep bank with a super-fast river; the best was the blue glacier which simply took my breath away.
Watching them fish on the Copper River was a real nail-biter for me too. But I still hope they do it again because it's one of my favorite videos. 😅
I agree about the Copper River. Terrifying. And they were so tired too, while fishing. It's easy to make mistakes when you're tired.
Good and happy life. Super !!!!
Breath taking! What a great adventure. Thanks for sharing.
Best part about your videos is your 2 older dogs that you treat so well. You can tell how much they mean to you, and how much they love you back. 💕 🐶 So sweet.
I'm living vicariously through you two on these adventures. 👍👍
Bless Bo's little heart. He tries so hard to keep up with the adventures. I hope you never leave him out. ❤

I don,t know how I missed this video when it was released but I,m glad I found it, it was spectacular.
My mouth is watering hearing about those salmon rolls! I’d love to see a video of you making them Arielle.
AND Bandit! He looks like he’s having his own little adventure out there. Another amazing video!!!
"we've got forward and that's the way we're headed" AWESOME!!!!!
This looks like such an awesome adventure! Time for Eric to get some new waterproof boots.✌🏼
@Buckwheat Hikes and more snacks!😅
"we went left, that wasnt right". the truest words ive ever heard in my life

What an AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL, AWESOME ADVENTURE!!!💯💯💯 Of course your cinematography was EXCELLENT as always!!!👍👍👍 Much Love from FL 💖💞🌴💖💞🌴💖💞🌴
When you pick up the icicles out of the water and say, oh these are pieces of the glacier. I thought, wow it's probably thousands of years old. Then you say, I'm gonna eat it, and chomped down on it. I lost it. Lol . What a great experience. I love watching you guys.❤
That was an EPIC trip! I don't know if it was the camera setting but the view was like being right there with you. The beauty of your surroundings was majestic. Arielle was right, in that moment, you couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you for taking us along for the ride. Also, you guys even upped picnic food to gourmet over the coals. (Though I expected that.😊) --Jessica from Florida 🌞
You've hit 580! Fantastic - you both deserve it. That's thousands not hundreds. Now I can watch the video. You have two of the luckiest dogs on earth. Bandit seems to thoroughly enjoy it. Bo seems to say , oh heck ANOTHER adventure!
Now that was an incredible adventure, those views are spectacular! Ariel you capture such beautiful drone footage, makes me feel like I'm there. Great job
This video made me very happy... when you're really hungry, every meal is a feast... when you're adrenaline is spiking cause you don't want to get the boat hung up, the water is more beautiful, and you have a great time... I'm still smiling cause the music was nice... though I really love the baby chick's, this was a great adventure!:-)
Amazing adventure. Looks like so much fun.
Just wow 🤩
I never got a chance while in Alaska to visit a glacier. They were so far south of where I was. I've heard they are beautiful. The blue aspect is because the ice is dead or in other words contains no oxygen which creates a blue color. I find it so interesting how all that works and happened over thousands and thousands of years.
Bo knows, Bandit's ready!!! Great trip, love the looks of that meal too. Too much fun.
I just love the dogs' personalities. Bandit = hyper 7 year old boy. Bo = content 50 year old who just wants to spend time with his family.
Of all the things I could say about why I love this video, I have to say the best part is experiencing the joy these two share in their relationship. I feel sure it’s something most of us never had. I also love how Eric loves and looks forward to feeding his hunger!
As a mother of kids their age, I have to admit I get pretty tense on many of their adventures. When Ariel pointed out they were the only people out there and that meant they have to be responsible for themselves, it demonstrated to me that they’re on top of their game and keenly aware of the risks.
You are living your best life, and taking thousands of us along with you. Thank you so much!
The photography in this video was outstanding. Especially the drone shots. But really all of it. The narrative with the breathtaking vista shots is a great combo. I enjoy your episodes very much. Thank you!!
Wow! How spectacularly beautiful! So glad you got to experience and enjoy that and thanks for taking us along!!!!
Eric: "You didn't want anymore, right?"
Arielle:
You both are absolutely amazing and I admire your life choices you have made. The scenery is beyond beautiful and thank you for sharing. It's very inspirational.
You two are blessed beyond measure. Thank you for sharing.
As a being born and raised in southern China, now have been living in South Florida for 20+ years person, visiting Alaska was one of my big dreams. Finally in June 2019, we took 7-day Norwegian cruise from Vancouver to Seaward and then by bus to Anchorage as a family vacation. Alaska is always an awe-inspiring, majestic, breathtaking and mysterious place to me. I very enjoy your videos, they fulfill my curiosities about living in this beautiful state. Thank you for taking me along to your adventures. Take care and be safe.
So Beautiful...
Thank You for showing Us Alaska....or Your neck of the woods...
Breath taking...
What a great video! Scenery, glaciers, food, adventure, dogs! Woohoo!!!
" But we got FOWARD " lol love it !
My husband and I were married on a glacier. It was beautiful. So amazing to experience being up close. Wish I'd thought to taste it, though.
Also, loved Eric's comments about the meal.
I totally laughed out loud when Ariel rolled into the boat. So funny.
You could be eating ice that is millions of years old. Awesome.
That ice Arielle picked from the water is "candled ice." Caused when pooling water melts through ice blocks on a lake or river. Love that music at the end. Beautiful scenery and cool video!
Don't know when this was filmed , but at 0:36 it shows that your regular 87 octane is only a Dime cheaper than here in East Tennessee !
The world has gone crazy !
Absolutely gorgeous! I loved your drone footage of the glacier and the great sweaters for the dogs.
Oh my god that was thrilling. Scenery was fabulous. Ty so much. Great job guys. Bravo!!!
