My first thought with the emotions….is she pregnant? Emotions can go all over..lack of sleep can do the same thing…lol…great video! Thanks for sharing!
So happy you got across the border. Such beautiful scenery,all of it was breathtaking!! Have to mention that huge cabbage,I thought my was big in our garden..π³. Love love the Musk Ox Sanctuary.They are so beautiful,and I find a very mysterious animal. Scout seemed to enjoy the outings also. Just beautiful scenery. Thank you again for this. Keep Safe..π
Have to wait for xx to find out what was so funny, darn.
Expensive batteries up their just like everything else. Very interesting video this week:)
Last vid you made ref to no gas station data use GasBuddy app on Cell has all stations in eastern Canada and US so I'm guessing it's good in west too
Wow beautiful. I wish I was young. I would love to go there. But I can see it through your eyes. Thank you. Hugs
Already loving your Alaska videos! So excited about this series! Glad your car is working now!
Not even halfway through the video and I'm dying on your lyrics! π€£
Oh myyyyy this is amazing! You are such fun and such a pleasure to watch!
I only use interstate batteries their top of the line series has a 5 year full replacement warranty and here in SE Florida batteries don't last but a year or two so I haven't had to pay for a new battery for over 15 years.
Love you guys, LOVE Alaska!!!! How was it crossing the border with Covid restrictions? Are they allowing US Citizens to cross now for recreation?
cc here but bbl, whee
confused, how is internet accessed without wifi?
great video, thank you
Scout must be your hiking dog
Hello Just wanted to share if you have change a new battery , its a good Idea to get your Alternator Checked, Even though it will start your Honda, the Old alternator wouldn't get the battery charge enough that pretty soon your back to square one. Had the same problem but was given advise by Road warrior on the Interstate . To get The alternator change, even a new remanufactured one. Works fine now. Stay Safe enjoyed your travels.
@4:15 and @4:17 screen shot for new desktop background
@10:53 good thing you had the fritters cause that joke was pretty corny
Dutiful rhymes with beautiful
Katelyn you are now officially Jackson's favorite YouTuber lol He does the same thing everywhere we go!!
Off to a great start- battery replaced and caught up on much needed sleep. Well, I am hooked, what a beautiful world we live in. I understand the emotions Katelyn. Awesome. π π³πΏ π³π± πββοΈ( ps. I did a 'shout out' to your channel in my latest video (It's time for Potato Salad) Link included.
I expect a new line for Katelynβs Alaska rap every week! π You all see such wonderful sights. Thanks for taking us along!
How did you get approved to go through Canada? As non-essential travelers in 2021?
Nice! The millionth video of driving in Alaska.
I lived in AK 30 years and have driven the Tok Cut Off many times and I think this year, it is the best. They have done a lot of work on the road. Between the border and Tok is the absolute worst road in the United States. Thatβs the road you should comment on, how was that portion?
You guys are doing all the good spots. You should try Palmer Alehouse on Friday or Saturday. They have great music and great beer. Or Matanuska brewing, great food, just around the corner from where Friday fling was.
Love this video. Loved the history of the ox. Thank goodness you were ok from seeing three hairs. They werenβt Goldie Locks three bears either. Lol! I canβt believe how cold it is there right now. Do they have warm weather there? That fair you went to looked fun. That place where you boondocked looked nice by the river. Canβt wait to see next weeks video. Have a great week and see you soon!
I love driving the Glenn. Itβs one of my favorite drives. The MatSu Glacier is amazing.
Thanks for sharing your adventures, especially this one! I grew up in the Mat-Su Valley but moved many years ago to the Lower 48 and miss Alaskaβs majestic beauty!!!
So happy I found this! I miss my π‘
Awesome video. Just found you today and subscribed. If you havenβt already found and subscribed to ALASKA WINGS AND WHEELS; I highly recommend doing so !!!! They are from Alaska and are friends of mine. The fore mentioned is their YOUTUBE channel. You wonβt regret it. Their names are Jim, Cynthia and their dog is Ember.
Dream place.
Out of curiosity, what are the required paper work to get through Canada? I thought they are not allowing cross country traveling by land…
We were going to go to Alaska this summer with a bunch of other RV you tubers but put it off until 2022 because of the pandemic. We dont want to drag our 35 foot fifth wheel there because it will get destroyed. We are planning on putting a truck Camper on the Dually truck we use to pull our fifth wheel, and parking the Fifth wheel for the summer. We will be watching your adventure this summer for tips for next summer. I love the air horn bear warning, we are used to Florida bears which are not dangerous. We have a robust internet set up with directional antennas for getting signal in challenging areas. You have the travel vlogging down, we mostly do campground tours and RV diy projects, we tried the vlogging thing but it does not come naturally to us like you guys. How do you have the time to make videos and have jobs? Larry
Wished you guys can drive to Barrow at the Arctic…it is something to see…Ice still in the ocean
Truly love your videos, informative and funny. Thank you I look forward to future videos.
I'm a new subscriber. My daughter, son-in-law and grandgirls live in Chugiak, AK., which is about 35 min out of Anchorage. It is absolutely beautiful out there. I'm enjoying your videos and love to see some of the places we've been too.
Thank you so much for your advice on your last live feed. It has opened our eyes to just being ourselves. We love following you both. Keep safe and well.
So great living vicariously thru your glorious Alaskan adventures! LOVE the musk ox farm!
Hi, loving this series. Can you say where that first boondocking location was by the river?
I am thoroughly enjoying your amazing, breathtaking adventures!! I cannot wait to hit the road with my husband in the next mth or 2.
Taking my kids nine and 11 and I took Alaska, what are some things for kids to do but you don't have to drive far.
BTW, some things aren't made to be purchased used. Looks like brake buddies are one of those things.
Great video you guys!
I know where the first boondock site was but where is the second one? I'm trying to olan our camping for the summer!
Time to binge watch your videos will be the backdrop of my holiday season thank you guys.
Just subscribed. Love both your adventurous spirit.
Omg lmfaoroπ€£π€£π€£ to thre rapper chick
Enjoy your program my wife worked on the corona task force in the area and could not go out of state so we purchased a truck and a camper started camping throughout the state. So now we have starter on YouTube and etcβ¦.. thank you you encouraged us.
We just discovered you guys and you are our new favorite boondockers! What is Howard using on his phone to check for cell service? Is it an app? I have not seen one that quite looks like that. Do you use a booster or hotspot as well?
Can you share the area that you boondocked near the running water that has good WIFI service?
