I actually cried when I saw your daughter get ready for prom, not only is she beautiful, but she is such a great person, you are so lucky to have her
Your daughter looks so gorgeous in her plum wine colored prom dress. So grown up! You both must be very proud! Congratulations Audrey! 💙💚💛💜
Audrey made for a beautiful Princess! I'm so happy for her. She grew up too fast! It's so wonderful seeing everyone! Enjoyed seeing Coldfoot, & the views from the plane. Good to see the snow melting. Hope your safe from threats of flooding. I see you have 2 Moose now. The apartment looks so nice. I hope everyone has a good week!
I love your vlogs! Learni g some about Alaska is fun. OMG Audrey is stunning! She is a beautiful young lady!! She told the boy no she wouldn't dance!😂❤❤❤❤
I cried when I saw Audrey all dressed for prom. She's beautiful. Your baby is growing up. ❤
Audrey is absolutely beautiful- inside and out!! So happy for her!! I know that you are both so proud and a little sad to see her so grown up!! Been there and know exactly those mixed emotions you feel when your kids are reaching the edge of becoming an adult! You would both be so proud of the job you have done raising your kids!!!
Love you all and love your channel! ❤🎉
Hello
How are you
That was amazing to see a township of roughly 9 people. I have been watching your family grow for about 4 years now. You all are a God Centered family and I love you as my Christian brothers and sisters. God Bless you all!🙏🏻😇♥️
Well Said!❤
Beautiful vlog. Thank you for taking us to a place where we probably would never see in our lifetime. Amazing off grid living. Best❤.
been watching y’all for a while. y’all’s videos bring me some type of peace. i’m 16, moving to alaska at 18 so watching y’all’s videos just make me happy
That’s so cool! We hope you will love it here:)
2 years is a long time though!
Do it! Work. Save your money. Wished I would have moved there when I had the chance back in the mid 80s.....always regretted that I didn't. Follow your dreams.
@@custombuilder1 for sure i have a whole life plan for up there,just to long to put into 1 comment but i feel like i belong up there so that’s where i’ll be
@@haydenswatchaccount aye....understood. wish you the absolute best of success in your adventures:)
I would love living there. I love the small community/family life working together, living together. It's just a great way to live and honestly grow up.
"Could you live here?"
ABSOLUTELY! I love the small, close-knit feel of it, and how self-reliant they are. Just one small community taking care of its own. I think the world would be better if more of us lived more like this than the fast-paced, high stress lives most of us live.
Thanks for the video!
I'm getting super excited now. Lord willing, I leave in just over 2 weeks for a 3 week road trip to Alaska. I've never been there, always wanted to go, and finally I'm in a position to make it happen. My biggest fear is that I won't want to come back...
And when I say I could live there, even in the small, remote places like Wiseman, I really mean it. I could do it.
Yes, most definitely! I live in a small town but, its growing of course, I miss the way it was 6 yrs ago when I moved here! People are so much more friendly and life isn't as fast as in the cities.
Ooh good luck on your trip and hope everything goes well! I wish I could get to Alaska, maybe some day!!
@@charitys.3862 Blessings from Poland 🇵🇱 and my channel 😊. We just moved to the countryside 🏡!!
Living out in the wilderness with mountains, near rivers and an abundance of beautiful trees is Truly a Blessing and Peaceful! 💁🏻♀️I’ve been without electricity, therefore that was very easy for me because I finished what needed to be done while the sunshine was out and rested at night! There is a Prayer Request for a newborn baby girl named Bianca who was born with some complications, already went through surgery and needs to be lifted up in Prayer!🙏🏼. Thank you everyone!💖
Praying 🙏🏻 for baby Bianca ❤
I’m somewhat new here and I can’t stop binge watching all your older videos! I love all that you guys do and it’s so neat to watch your kiddos grow and mature through the years.
A beautiful and wonderful song about Alaska!!! 🎶🎶🎶 How beautiful--A family reunited!!! 🥰🎶❤️
I was born in, and have always lived in FLORIDA and we did not have electric growing up. We had a gas stove, refrigeration and carasine (sp) lamps. AUDREY, YOU WERE AMAZING. I know how DAD was stun to see his beautiful DAUGHTER so grown up. He was seeing the FUTURE and his heart was not sure HE was ready for it. BE BLESSED SOMERS FAMILY.
Love seeing the moose in the beginning of the video !!! Beautiful animal
WOW I can not imagine living in a town with only 9 people. Especially with NO electricity. Thank you for giving us the wonderful tour of Cold Foot and Wiseman. OMG Audrey. Sweetheart you are so beautiful. Did I hear right that a boy asked you to dance and you said NO. I thought that was the reason to go to Prom. LOL Love to you all.
she was joking about the 'no' part 🙂
Audrey, I hope you enjoyed your Prom, you looked amazing.
Bert I always appreciate when you take us along to see other areas of Alaska. I know I won't get to Alaska now but through you and your family, it gives us an really good idea of the State. Thank you. The Alaskan scenery is amazing.
In Australia, we have miles of nothing in between major towns and cities also but our landscape is dry, dusty with a good amount of red coloured dirt and grey bush. Most people live in the large cities. It takes a certain kind of person to live in regional cities and towns. I think like in Alaska, you need to enjoy your own company and finding plenty to keep yourself occupied.
Yes , we could live in the type of isolation community such as Wiseman. We alway find a way of making do because not everything is available in our small city. Living in isolation one needs to be able to be self-sufficient. Most people don't cope with that concept. My friend of 60 years couldn't cope full time where live even though it's the largest city north of our State's capital, Brisbane. She's only ever lived in Melbourne which is a large city. She only knows places in the outback from visiting us over the years as we've moved around with work. Now we're retired and thankfully we found our way to Townsville about seven years before retirement, so we were settled by the time we retired. Most people move on retired and have trouble settling in. Our home has solar power that feeds into the grid but we are set up to go off grid when ever it's required. My husband was an Electrical Technician before retirement and taught his trade for a total of eleven years. We worked in two isolated mining towns as well as city and country living. So we can pretty much cope with what's thrown at us, much like yourself.
Hello
How are you ☺️
Snow is melting away in Alaska
Audrey looked so beautiful and smiling ear to ear they grow up so fast
When I lived in Alaska, my parents Gold Mining operation was on the South Fork Koyukuk, 18 miles south of Coldfoot off the haul road, this was 1981-87
Thank you for the tour of Coldfoot and Wiseman. I could visit and stand maybe a week of living off grid in a place like Wiseman. Maybe up to a month. Just not in winter. Audrey you looked amazing with your hair and make up done and dressed in your prom dress. I hope you had fun. Your not a little girl anymore. You are now an amazing young woman.
Hi gang. First off, Audrey looked like a doll for her prom. She said no when asked to dance? 😢 How does it work having a prom with homeschooled students? Bert, you go to real remote places. Coldfoot and Wiseman seem like places to go if you’re a writer doing a book, a study for a school course, or a place just to isolate yourself from everyday life for a bit. Seems like these tough places to reside in if you have medical issues and need doctors close by like my husband. Bert has to take us yet farther up north.
Hello
How are you ☺️
When the pipeline was shown, that reminded me that my step grandfather helped with its installation.
Hello
How are you ☺️
Happy Thursday, SOMERS. I hope you’re having a good day. It’s almost the summer time. I see that the snow is melting even more. I’m glad that you SOMERS once again driving through a grueling, endless snow season. Much love and support to you. I really hope that you SOMERS have some fun plans for summer 2023. Continue on your road on getting the gold play button.
Holy moly Bert! The cost of the room and the fuel, it’s stunning? Audrey you looked beautiful for your prom. I love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Audrey was beautiful in her dress. That was a perfect dress for her!
A small community in New Mexico's Sacramento mountains ! Live population in winter,70-100! In summer,2- 3500(+/-)! One road in ,35 miles to next ( people) ! 75.9 miles to Alamagordo,NM!! Home of "White Sands,NM, AND Hollerman AFB!!
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us! 🐺🧙♂️🦊
I am waving back, Garrett!
Hello
How are you ☺️
Audrey look like a princess. Proms whole point is to dance with a boy so I had to laugh when she said no. lol love the video and seeing new places. Totally cool. God bless fam.I would live there if I were lots younger and healthier. Now k am to old .
I am loving Moms hair & brows. Gorgeous! Audrey was so pretty in her dress! Ty for sharing this ❤
Audrey looked wonderful! I hope she had a great time!
Audrey you looked beautiful at your prom! Loved your hair and makeup. The dress was stunning on you ! ❤
Hello
How are you ☺️
Audrey looked beautiful… such lovely young lady inside and out 💕
Hello
How are you ☺️
Oh I got goosebumps seeing Audrey all dressed up for Prom ❤🎉
Hello
How are you
I wouldn’t like living remote like that. I’d be bored. Lol. Loved that a boy asked Audrey to dance! She looked great.
Incredible places, wow population 9 people. Thanks for sharing. ❤
Audrey looked just beautiful! I hope that she had a great time!
No worries about the cost just wanting a tire that’s all season and a winner in the winter
For several Springs I lived in a log cabin in Canada with the only access via boat. One generator that was turned off each evening. It was so peaceful, listening to the river and the wildlife. Particularly loved listening to the wolves doing their rounds.
She looked like a princess.
Oh how beautiful- made me tear upfloods of memories of my daughter came back-treasure it because before you know it you’re an empty nester with your 25 yo working and getting her masters ❤ and for off grid definitely couldn’t live there but that would make a great vacation for some but I’ll be at the Hilton 😊
Hello
How are you ☺️
Audrey looked absolutely beautiful for her prom. She is a strong young woman who knows what she wants and doesn’t! She has her whole life ahead for love and dating if she chooses to! 💐💐💐
I love that Bert is wearing a coat, there is snow on the ground and his friend is wearing a tank top lol
Audrey looks like a princess
My husband was a QA inspector for the DEW line years ago and went to Coldfoot at one point. Safe travels!
I would so love to live there. Nope pole is my dream though. Some days I pray about it all the time. It would be a dream to live in a tiny home you built.
Hello
How are you
@@davidbivinsblinc32 I’m great thank you for asking.
@@paigelynne1338 good to know I'm David texting from MI and you?
I love seeing your temperature at the start of your videos. Keep it up
Poor Audrey, she looked gorgeous but it’s a shame she didn’t have the confidence to say yes when asked to dance. Hopefully she has more opportunities to get out in the world a bit more and gain some life experience.
Audrey was a Beautiful Princess!! I’m thinking that she declined the young man’s offer to Prom was maybe because she had already had a plan with one of her best friends 🤷🏼♀️
I don’t know that it was an invitation to prom from the young man it sounded like he just asked for a dance. It sounded like the idea of dancing with a boy right now was not something she was interested in at the moment which is fine.
Why does she need to dance with a boy? No one should do something they don’t feel comfortable doing. I love that she didn’t do something just ‘because’. She is wise 🧡🧡Audrey is the best 🥰🥰🥰🥰
They keep her sheltered I feel sorry for Audrey as if she had friends and got to socialise with other people besides being kept at home she would blossom
The point is that she had a wonderful time with her friends and she made beautiful memories. I'm a Christian, and it's okay to decline the invitation to a dance with a gentleman if she is not comfortable with that at this point in time, in her life. She's young... there's no rush.
Audrey you look absolutely beautiful! Focus on God first and everything else will fall into place. Love you all's videos. Big hugs from Texas
Audrey looked beautiful in her prom dress. I don't think I could live in a place without electricity. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Hello
How are you
very beautiful Audrey wow. and thanks Burt for sharing your journey with us to Wiseman etc, wow prices of gas is crazy. awesome apartment Jessica, i wonder whos moving in there?
Hello
How are you
I guess if I had to live without electric I would be okay but I would never choose to do that! I'm thankful to live where I live!
Hello
How are you
Omgosh…Audrey looked like a princess!!! 🥰
Hello
How are you ☺️
I loved visiting Wiseman!!! The person who gave our tour was so interesting. Learned a lot of history there. The cabins there do have a musty smell to them. It really bothered my daughter's allergies.
I remember stepping down the stairs in the Coldfoot truck stop and looking up to see the Northern Lights.
Thank you, Bert, for helping bring back such wonderful memories 😊
Oh my Audrey look like a princess!! I hope you had a fantastic time. 💙💜👍
I love these videos when you visit small Alaskan towns! The life in these towns is so different from mine. While the lack of people and the quiet would be enticing, I could not live without electricity or running water. Great video!
Tnx Somer family..i love your videos..Audrey looked amazing...prom is a big thing in life I had 3 daughters graduate 15-20 years ago...so it brought back memories...thankyou for sharing your state with us..im from Saskatchewan.Can....one more time...WAY TO GO AUDREY...god bless and take care
Audrey you were absolutely gorgeous in your prom dress!
Thanks for sharing
Hello
How are you ☺️
Hello Somers family
My nephew goes to school in North Pole, his dad is military
Sending love from Middle Tennessee..
Mid May and snow, i could not do it
Hello
How are you
I love watching you guys!!
Thanks for taking us along to Cold Foot! Audrey looks so pretty for her prom! Love Y’all! Love and Prayers Always
I would live there and feel at home! Wooow Audrey😊 be proud!
I loved that music you used when Bert was in Coldfoot. 🎵
I've actually been to Coldfoot and Wiseman before. Not much there as I recall, but was happy to see another part of Alaska.
Audrey is as beautiful outside as she is inside! She looked azimg glad she had a great time at prom
Im glad she told that guy that ask her to dance NO. She should have them chase after her and if its Gods will he willale it happen. Also enjoy the trip to neberland fabulous places as usual.
Hello
How are you
Audrey you looked GORGEOUS! 🤩
i love watching yall keep sending videos !! i keep waiting for them
Hello 👋
How are you
Finally made it to North Pole and visited the Santa House.
Love seeing all the candy cane poles. Back home to New Zealand tomarrow.
Was great to see places I see on your video's in real life
wow ! How long was the trip from New Zealand to the North Pole?
@@emmib1388 11hrs from Auckland to Vancouver. Than a 8 day cruise to Alaska back to Vancouver. Flight to Anchorage for 3 day's, train ride to Fairbanks for 3 day's than flight back to Vancouver to get back to Auckland than a hr flight to Wellington and home. Alaska is a fantastic country. 3rd visit
@@juliebrabyn4853 wow ! That sounds like fun and something I would want to do -- it is on my 'bucket' list -- but I will have to wait until i retire to have that much time off work!! And 11 hours isn't really that bad! That is probably approximate time I would have to travel (at least, with layovers) traveling from the Northeast part of the US!
Great video today. Amazing place Coldfoot. I can’t imagine living out there but I bet it is great. Thank you for sharing. Your gown looks awesome on you Audrey. Your all grown up how did that happen. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello
How are you ☺️
You look stunning in this video. You are always gorgeous but even better here❤

Hello
How are you ☺️
@@davidbivinsblinc32 who are u?
@@lindajohnson8347 David from MI and you?
@Davidbivinsblinc out of all the comments on this family's page I went and looked why did u pick me to reply?
@@lindajohnson8347 I guess that's a question for God 💭 well I just wanted to be a friend nothing else but if you aren't cool with that is fine hmm?
If I was 25, I might give Coldfoot a try.
My husband ani look forward to your videos. We love your family! We visited Coldfoot, Deadhorse and Wiseman a few years ago. Loved it there!❤️🤗
Hello
How are you ☺️
LOVE the family you all are!!
Hello
How are you ☺️
My husband got a kick out of seeing the Wiseman Post Office (he works for the Post Office). Thanks for sharing!
Hello
How are you ☺️
Without a second thought, YES, I would love to live in remote areas as long as I had lots of land. And yet, I need people.
I watched ICE DOAD TRUCKERS! I loved Alex Debogorski, Lisa Kelly and Darrell Ward. Sadly when Darrell passed, it just wasn't the same. I would have loved to live in Cold Foot when I was younger, but at 70 years old, I barely survive Ohio!! lol Audrey is a beautiful girl! Keep the shotgun handy!! lol!!
Happy mothers day and fun time
Audrey you looked beautiful for your prom!
So happy Audrey enjoyed her prom. She looked fantastic. What a great memory. Pretty soon evelyn will be doing it as well. Enjoy
ok, I am hooked on your youtube channel, remarkable
Hello
How are you ☺️
It’s a relief to see you’re ok. A very pleasant surprise on a Thursday
Love the tour. As long as I could get bulk propane delivery and generator, as well as a decent sized house, then yes I would live there.
Hello happy peoples ❤
Evelyn is so beautiful! Her "Goodness gracious! I'm too young to look old." Is cute!
Audrey you weren't a Princess but you were a Beautiful young Queen at the prom. What boy wouldn't ask a beautiful girl to dance? Your absolutely gorgeous. I sure hope you had a great time.
God Bless ya'll 🙌 🙏 ❤️ 💖
There’s a very small town in Maine called Hibbets Gore. 2020 census has 1 person living there although at one point I remember 5. I definitely wouldn’t mind living in Wiseman. Offgrid & hard work. Stay awesome Happy People! Hugs and love to everyone!!❤️
Yes yes I would I'd love that
