Mark you are a great father, it is so nice to see Yalu teaching your boys how to do fend for themselves while making it fun. You and Lauren are great parents. Kudos 🎉
I'm in Michigan, can't imagine your weather. Fun memories ( not the wind). Couldn't finish watching the elk. But tell your son congratulations on the shot.
Everett loves to learn hes has a big vocabulary, that was a amazing fishing trip . What's the biggest fish you both caught ? I love his excitement even with cooking fish that aren't dead yet lol. Everett you have some amazing parents have some fun memories being made !!!
I thought the ending from the title was going to be to catch a monster fish lol, glad you both are ok and hope Everett is doing better and recovered, I know he got scared poor little man.
Catching up on the Alaska Boys adventures after subscribing to This Alaska Life for about 6 months. Wow, that reminded me of a Florida hurricane! Glad you two were ok and a big shout out to brave Everett!!
It was awesome to see Everett with one on one time with Dad! That was so enjoyable to watch, you two were kicking some fishy butt!! Every time you would say the temperature was going up I kept say to myself, wrap things up & get off the ice, over & over! I'm so thankful that lessons were learned, and Dad is man enough to admit it. This will be a great learning tool for your children in the future...as long as we learn from them!!! Thank you, Mark & Everett!!! 🌼
Once I started drilling, I realized the ice was actually about 30” thick. You could drive a semi on that thickness. I doubt our heater had any impact on the ice strength. I definitely learned a few things and next time will be even better. I think the rest of the boys will be clamoring to come as well.
Wow! We live on the east coast and my 4 year old daughter LOVES to fish! We surf fish tho… no where near the excitement y’all had today. So glad to see ya all safe! Go Everett!
It's the kind of excitement I'd prefer not to have! Thanks for the well wishes. Everett is a trooper. We went fishing a week later and he was happy as a clam.
What a wonderful day fishing with sweet Everett, I'm so relieved you both were ok. You learned a lesson and that will never happen again, so lesson learned. So nice to see a dad involve his kids in his activities to pass on the knowledge. Should happen more with dad's and kids. That tent is awesome though, what a beauty. Stay warm and safe, blessing to everyone ☺
Having the right gear is really important to being able to get out at -15. It’s taken a number of years to get the right gear, buts sure nice to have now. The weather change was so sudden it really suppressed me. I think it was. New weather system that came in really fast over the mountains from the gulf of Alaska. I think that’s why it warmed up so dramatically. Ironically. When we drive a half hour home it was back to -10.
Mark my goodness!! The weather is so unpredictable in Alaska, glad you are all OK. Everett and his constant dialogue was so cute, his excitement catching a fish a joy to watch. You sure do have some big boys toys and are so organised for ice camping set up. Thankyou so much for sharing this day with us👍
Yes it was a crazy wind storm. We were grateful to make it out without anything getting terribly hurt. Plus, Everette was a real trooper. We went fishing last weekend and he seemed to have forgotten about the earlier trauma and was happy as a clam all day.
So glad that you guys are safe!! What a way to end a great fishing trip. I look forward to seeing more adventures with the Hamm Family! Love little Everette! He always brings a big smile to my heaart! I lost my only son when he was 28. I miss him soooooi much. I love to watch Everette, his samples from Costco, his joy of helping Lauren and now watching his excitement in fishing helps me get through some days which are better than others. Thsnk you Lsuren and Mark for sharing your stories! Until next time.......Love from NC
Hi Deborah, l had 22years with my Son and 8 1/2 ,years without him, ld do anything for one more day or to say Goodbye so l feel your pain l truly do, seeing Lauren and Mark raise these beautiful boys fills my heart and a constant reminder to never take for granted these moments 🙏
There have been many experiences over the years that make believe there’s someone watching over our family. Trying every day to live a life he will be proud of.
Hey Mark & Everett, oh my goodness the wind blowing was crazy at least you got your stuff back & as you said learned a valuable lesson. Little man is becoming a great fisherman I’m bewildered though how in the heck was that fish flopping around in the pan?! I’ve got to admit my mama’s heart got nervous when you drove on the ice.
I’m not sure how the fish was still flopping around after it had its head cut off and guts removed? Maybe the heat stimulates the nerve when it’s really fresh?
Mark and Everett, what an Adventure!!! I was caught up in a near Tornado in my car, I chose to seek cover inside a building and in route a huge minute long gust, made it impossible to move. I was running as fast as I could and it seemed like I was moving in slow motion. When I got to the door, I could not open it because the wind was blowing towards it. Luckily a Woman inside opened it. I was hit by a bunch of roofing and wooded boards Luckily just a bruise on the meaty part of my forearm. I can attest to wind picking up in a second. I am so happy you both are ok. It is truly the definition of getting the wind knocked out of you. But I like your insight when the wind picks up on your sail. But who even knows if the stakes would have worked. Everett will remember this and will always remember Dad taught him to remain cool. The fishing was awesome. And Everett is becoming a great Fisherman like his Big Brother Hunter. I wish I would have learned to fish more. And it looked so delicious. You are the greatest Dad. I am so excited to see Hunters Bday overnight trip. He is a wonder to watch. Do you have old footage when Hunter was Everett's age? I love this one on one time. What an awesome adventure. Thanks for taking me along. Can't wait for Gary to see. Big hugs #1 Dad
That sounds terrifying Marcella. Thankfully in this case we were just frightened and nothing was really hurt. Thank you for all your kind words, it was fun to get out with Everett on his own. I used to do this often with the older boys but we didn’t film those adventures. Just photos and good memories of those trips. Lake Louise with the older boys was a real adventure. We will try to have the video edited by next week. I learned a bunch on that trip and hope to do another overnight trip in a few weeks.
Awesome trip! Can’t imagine going fishing in that temperature…Brrrr! Glad you’re both safe from the wind storm. Poor wee Everett’s face when he said he was scared. Melted my heart.
I can’t wait to ice fishing this winter! I live out in Palmer so there are lots of lakes out here . Oh you are such an awesome dad , you are building amazing memories for you son ! 😂🥰❤️
I love watching how great of parents you both are to the boys and what wonderful memories they will have!!!! This is so awesome and how patient he is with Everett. Annnndddd it wouldn’t be a complete trip without Everett having snacks!!!!!! 😃 How awesome he’s so anxious to observe and listen and learn how to all kinds of things, especially catching his own food and learning how to prepare it.
New viewer is watching you from SOUTHERN IRELAND MY LATE HUSBAND AND I ÙSED TO DO A LOT OF TROUT FISHING MY HEAVEST TROUT WAS 6LBS 4 OUNCES WE ÙSED HAVE GREAT TIMES YOU ARE A GREAT DAD MARGARET LYNCH SOUTHERN IRELAND 🇮🇪 🙌 👌 😳 👏 👀 🇮🇪 🙌
We had the same thing happen to us in the Mat-Su Valley while ice fishing. Took two of us men to hold onto the tent while my buddy’s son reeled in a 23” rainbow! Lol😂 fun times
Mark you are a great father, it is so nice to see Yalu teaching your boys how to do fend for themselves while making it fun. You and Lauren are great parents. Kudos 🎉
Mark you are such a great dad so patient glad you both are ok
Everette was so brave at the end. I just wanted to give him a big hug for being so strong. Loved this video of father and son making memories.
😊
Boy o boy did you have fun. Glad your ok .Be safe ...Some thing he will got for get.
I'm in Michigan, can't imagine your weather. Fun memories ( not the wind). Couldn't finish watching the elk. But tell your son congratulations on the shot.
What a nice dad you are to take Everett fishing. He's precious.
He’s a great kid and we are glad to have him.
Everett loves to learn hes has a big vocabulary, that was a amazing fishing trip . What's the biggest fish you both caught ? I love his excitement even with cooking fish that aren't dead yet lol. Everett you have some amazing parents have some fun memories being made !!!
Those fish were landlocked salmon. Probably the largest one that day was 12-13”.
I thought the ending from the title was going to be to catch a monster fish lol, glad you both are ok and hope Everett is doing better and recovered, I know he got scared poor little man.
Hopefully next time catch a lunker, but we learned an important lesson this time. Plus, Everett seems ready for the next trip 👍

Yep, we stayed a half hour too long, but lessons were definitely learned. We will be prepared for next time.
Once I started drilling, I realized the ice was actually about 30” thick. You could drive a semi on that thickness. I doubt our heater had any impact on the ice strength.
I definitely learned a few things and next time will be even better. I think the rest of the boys will be clamoring to come as well.
Really enjoyed this, it looks great fun apart from the wind from nowhere! Glad you are both okay.
Thanks for watching. Hopefully a few more trips like this, minus the wind event.
Wow! We live on the east coast and my 4 year old daughter LOVES to fish! We surf fish tho… no where near the excitement y’all had today. So glad to see ya all safe! Go Everett!

Big boy toys 😂. it makes it fun living up here with lots of fun things to do as a family and with friends.
Everett is such a joy! Tell him I hit the bell!!!
I haven't been out there this year. The ice there sure is beat up. Last year it was smooth as glass.
It was pretty nasty. I could go more than about 5 mph. It might be better after this current warm spell though.
New subscriber to this channel !’ I loved this video .. was very interesting! PS .. I have already subscribed to your other channel!
Thanks for coming along 😁
Welcome Lori it's nice to have a new friend to hang out here, where are you watching from? I'm in Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
The scenery is beautiful
Wow what a wind storm. So glad you’re okay. Everett was a trooper. Great fishing too Everett

Thank you for watching Deborah and for sharing about your son. A great reminder to cherish each day we have, both the hood and the bad.
Hi Deborah, l had 22years with my Son and 8 1/2 ,years without him, ld do anything for one more day or to say Goodbye so l feel your pain l truly do, seeing Lauren and Mark raise these beautiful boys fills my heart and a constant reminder to never take for granted these moments 🙏
God sure was watching over you both… 🙏🏻
There have been many experiences over the years that make believe there’s someone watching over our family. Trying every day to live a life he will be proud of.
The Hamm Family a blessing from God
@@AlaskaBoys : And you are succeeding at that 🙏

Just watching you guys drive on the ice gave me the heebyjeebies...and then the wind...lots of catching though.
I still get a tad bit nervous every time I drive on it too, even if it is 24' thick!
That was pretty exciting for sure! So glad everyone was ok. Whew I need a nap after watching Dad keep up with his sweet little 4 year old lol!
Looks like you boys had a great time. Love your videos.
We sure did. Hopefully we can get out a few more times this winter.
@@AlaskaBoys i use to go ice fishing with my dad when I was younger. He will always remember that. ❤️.

Awesome trip! Can’t imagine going fishing in that temperature…Brrrr! Glad you’re both safe from the wind storm. Poor wee Everett’s face when he said he was scared. Melted my heart.
I was having second thoughts when I first got out of the car at -15, but once we had the tent up it was great.
I can’t wait to ice fishing this winter! I live out in Palmer so there are lots of lakes out here .
Oh you are such an awesome dad , you are building amazing memories for you son ! 😂🥰❤️
I love being able to drive right out on the lakes in the Valley.
Everet looks like he was having a ball
We were both having a great time. It was nice to get out with him, even if it was so cold out.
I just love Everett! Great job Dad!
😀👍
You and Lauren are such amazing and sweet Parents and Thank you for sharing y'all adventures with me 😏😏❤❤
Thank you so much!!

A very important ingredient to a successful outdoor trip with young kids is LOTS of snacks! 😂
So awesome! 😀

Leave it to Everett he makes everything fun
Finger Lake
Yep, great spot.
Shhhh.... that's my secret spot.
Just kidding, no secret, but we do love going fishing there with the kids.
@@AlaskaBoys 20 mins from my house, always come home with fish 🐠
I love Everett's personality he's just to cute
He’s a great kid. He’s fun to hang out with.
