Smoked salmon reminds me of my dad. He taught me how to fish, camp, cook and to enjoy the outdoors. I miss him. Thanks for the clip and the trip down memory lane.
Smoked Salmon was a special gift from my ex sister-in-law. She would send me cases so many years ago. Above and beyond what she would need for the family. She would catch, clean, marinade, smoke and can right off the banks. Was the best tasting fish I'd ever eaten. Excellent video and so happy for you.
What a well done video. Loved the trip prep, river adventures, (the fishing was great too) but the fish processing and cooking were total surprises and bonuses. The smoking and canning were done so well. Felt like I was watching someone who has run restaurants and commercial kitchens in another life. Thank you for producing and sharing this great trip. I'll get to Alaska some day!
Smoked salmon. Even if a single fish was not caught, it would have been worth the trip. The beautiful scenery was unbelievably fantastic, the fish were just icing on the cake.
Smoked Salmon is a treasure that a lot of people will never try because they don’t like fish. That leaves more for people like us that love it! Thanks for taking us along on your trip! We used to go to the kewanee river in Wisconsin and catch king salmon coming into spawn. Those were the days! Thank You!!
Smoked Salmon: Absolutely love the simplicity of life in Alaska and appreciation of nature by your family. Hope I can convince my wife to visit Alaska one day and maybe consider staying there
Smoked salmon from the Copper river in Chitina Alaska. We camped in a wall tent near McCarthy in 1980. We hiked up to see the old copper mine structures. The Kennicott glacier late in the night gave off an alpine glow in the sky. It was a magical time for me - 22 years old and new to Alaska. Lived in Alaska for many years before heading for warmer weather. Love the video. True modern Alaska adventure.
Smoked salmon. My father in law who is up in years spent 13 years in soldotna paving roads along the chain. He tells me of fishing and hunting stories that are just unimaginable. He said that if I were to visit, I would never leave. Thanks for the awesome footage.
What an incredible journey! Such an interesting story shared with the viewers. Never came across anyone actually sharing their entire salmon processing recipe. I wish you all the best and hope your cutting board venture will take off and pay for the bills. Keep hustling! Cheers...
Smoked Salmon was my Favorite thing to smoke.. I was living in Illionis when I smoked salmon and we went up to wisconsin to catch them and Brown Trout. Love your videos and always look forward to them !!!!! Thank YOU !! For ALL YOU DO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, simply awesome. I live in the South of England, UK which is very busy and quite the contrast to here. This place is something truly amazing. Seen a few videos of Alaska recently and this is definatley on my bucket list. Oh yeah, love your chopping board videos. How you outgrew your 'small shop' and now in an industrial unit. Fantastic viewing, Thank you.
Smoked Salmon. Dude! I lived there in Nenana, AK from 2007 to 2010 and made the Coper River dipnet trip 1 time. Most memorable fishing trip of my entire life. I was glued on this video so bad... I wanted to cry. Thanks for this video too bro! I could smell it from here down in South Carolina. Remember... if your going to smoke, please smoke Salmon!
I would love to join the giveaway but I’m Alaskan and can get my own reds 😆 wishing the reds go to someone who has never tried this! 👏🏼👏🏼 amazing video
I was one to rope off and fish from the bank/cliff back in the late 70’s. Was a good time for sure and just as windy. Can’t watch these videos and not get a little homesick. Thanks for sharing.
Smoked salmon was gifted to us at our wedding 40 yrs ago. It was so delicious I had never had it before. My husband's Aunt gave it to us. I really enjoyed the video!
SMOKED SALMON!!! I’ve always wanted to dip at Chitna, but haven’t broken my South Beach Kenai habit yet, but do miss my Sub Net Bristol Bay days of putting fish up for the year!! Love that cutting board you have for your Camper and if you sell them I need to buy one, gorgeous board👍 I’ll give your recipe a go, but like all Alaskans, we have our own special recipe!! Kudos to you for sharing!!! I’ve never understood the take my recipe to the grave mindset, unless you own a restaurant……… Sharing is love and we need more love in this modern life!!! Ron in Wasilla!!
Smoked salmon.. this was this first episode I have watched of yours, it was awesome!! Your recipe was a real treat for a pregnant lady!! Looked delicious.
Smoked Salamon...I loved every second of this video. I love in Southwestern Michigan and this video was just another reminder that I live to far south!
Smoked salmon. Good lord I should not have watched that while hungry because holy cow that looks fantastic. Love seeing these other videos showcasing the Alaska lifestyle! Look absolutely incredible. Cheers from TX!
SMOKED SALMON. Absolutely awesome. Looked like a great trip. Spend a spring summer fall and hit all the seasons. Subscribed just after reading the title. Cant wait for more. Good stuff
Smoked Salmon makes me happy. I have terrible arthritis and the fatty oils are a natural anti- inflammatory. Fish is so good for what ails you. Good for my cholesterol too. Thank you for a wonderful video.😊
Smoked Salmon- I fish salmon in Washington and never have I seen such beautiful red fillets as the ones got caught. The mini jet on all the rivers hunting and fishing is a bucket list. Enjoy the blessings of that state and freedoms!!!
Harvesting salmon the old fashioned way was a great experience for me to watch from Australia. It appeared that you were truly living the “Alaska Dream.” And by the way your editing and dialogue was very enjoyable.
Smoked Salmon I worked as a chef for 15 years, now I work for an import and domestic seafood distribution company. I've worked in fisheries for about 7 years now, up and down the southeastern US. Copper river salmon is like gold in the restaurant industry, especially kings. I definitely agree that locals should be the only to harvest there to maintain the fisheries. Great video. Awesome eagle footage.
Smoked salmon. You guys had a great time out there, fun to watch! Lots of great fish! Feeding the family with that great fish for the next year! Thanks for sharing with us!
Smoked Salmon: Native Alaskan who hasn't been "home" in 15 + years and I MISS it!! Thank you for the content and this video in particular, its was a refreshing reminder of how awesome AK and that life style is. Keep it up and cheers!
Smoked salmon! What an amazing place to live and play! Me and the wife love salmon but to be able to go out and fill you freezer every year is awesome! Buying at grocery store you just never know what your getting! Love all your videos! Keep the adventures coming!
Smoked salmon. Really appreciate documenting the entire process of sustainable fishing up in AK. My brother and his family are up there and every time I visit, I learn to appreciate more and more what the land has to offer and how to be responsible about it. Your cutting board videos are fantastic too!
Smoked Salmon. My Grandfather was a comercial salmon fisherman in the state of Washington, I loved to eat his hard work every chance I could. Great Video !!!!
SMOKED SALMON! So miss Alaska and the smoked salmon so this is wonderful! Super excited!! And we also LOVE your cutting boards (the "family" style ones with all the differents woods especially, very cool). Thanks for sharing! : )
Love that you were able to turn your hobby into a business like that. I use to live in Eagle River myself back in 2016. I was stationed in Alaska for 8 years. I just happened across your channel today and realized where you are. Pretty cool. Love your work!
Thanks for your video, brings back memories, been here at our Alaska home 45 years, retired now, but hope people on your adventure can taste what Alaska is all about. Good. Job.
Smoked Salmon - I visited Alaska twice and was blown away by the beauty. I visited the Copper River. Drove the wheels off my Rental car from Anchorage to Fairbanks and back and up and down the Kenai peninsula and took so many inspiring pictures on the way.. Cannot wait for my next trip - Thanks for sharing a great video - Sam
Wow i miss copper river . Me and my late hubbys favorite fishing ground in AK. That is an exciting amazing place. I would never get tired of going back to that place. King salmon and red salmon is so yummy.
Smoked Salmon! Great video and very 'Alaskan neighborly' of you for sharing. My wife and I are too old and broken to dip net. But back in our younger years......
Smoked salmon. I would have commented anyway. You made the video in such a way that I felt like I experienced it all. Thank you for making this and posting. From Louisiana.
With out a doubt Alaskan salmon is the best in the world. Just the most abundant salmon fishery and subsistence fishing is awesome. Enjoyed seeing the fish in the smoker.
Smoked salmon. This video was simply fascinating! We don't have anything like this in Texas. Thank you so much for sharing this glimpse into life in Alaska.
Kris DeVo, Gotta love the Vacmaster VP215 bought mine from the same place you got your bags from, Alaska Butcher Supply. That machine is hands down the best purchase of my life. Had it for 12 years now and put close to 10-11,000 bags of Alaskan goodies through it!!! Only had to change the oil bout twice a year and put a few new seal strips on it in all those years. Congrats on the Copper River success. Ive been there 3 times now and still have yet to catch a fish. Its all about timing the run there...

Smoked salmon reminds me of my dad. He taught me how to fish, camp, cook and to enjoy the outdoors. I miss him. Thanks for the clip and the trip down memory lane.
OMG! Kris, is there anything you can't do? You are a man of many talents. I forgot to say...Smoked Salmon!
Thank you Karina!
Smoked Salmon was a special gift from my ex sister-in-law. She would send me cases so many years ago. Above and beyond what she would need for the family.
