RIP Shoestring. We will always remember you.

“The Weather’s Always Shittier in Whittier.” Had me cracking up- that should be on a tshirt.

That cloud line is amazing. It's really something how the mountains make their own weather!

Great to see you out doing this Shoestring. Journey on!

Thank you for taking us on such a great adventure.

You're an EXCELLENT tour guide. Thanks for showing me Alaska!

An hour and 40 minute Shoestring video 🙌🙌

My night is made! Thank you, Mark! So happy for you.

Just had a chance to catch your Cordova ferry ride video and appreciate you taking the time to put that out there. Definitely a cool trip!

Love you Shoestring

Hey Shoestring: Hope you are having a great time in Alaska and can't wait to see you riding the trains of Alaska if it's possible. Take Care and stay safe warm and dry up there North in Alaska. 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️🇺🇲🇺🇸💨

Ice cold, nice old Alaska, watching this just makes my day shoestring (along with a good hot cup of coffee😊)

Glad to see your having a good time Mark. ===Drifter===

This video is wonderful! It's like going to Alaska with a very knowledgeable tour guide. Stobe did some good videos but yours are the best. Thank you!

Enjoyed this one ShoeString 👍😃

Thanks for taking us along.

Yep! You got the sheep starting around 13:29. Great catch!!!

Thank you, soooooo much, ShoeString!!! Now I know why Bob Ross painted all those beautiful happy mountains. You're the best, ShoeString! God bless and God speed, Sir! 🎉 ❤ 😊

I realize how beautiful our planet is. Congratulations for the wonderful video. Unfortunately, I will never have the opportunity to see these places up close because I live on the other side of the planet. In GREECE. God bless you always for giving us such videos

Whoa Shoestring, Musta' cost a fortune to rent the whole Ferry for yourself, Thants what I call VIP treatment!! We`re All Enjoying your Alaska Trip Immensely!! Stay Safe and Above All, Stay Healthy Mark! Tom in Bethlehem PA. 🤗

just like so many others have stated... glad to see you having fun... thumbs up Shoestring!!!

Thank you so much for sharing the beautiful view and your life travels

Them voles are good eatn with cans of chili then you use their fur to keep warm.... that's beautiful country Shoestring thank you for taking us with you

Go for the GOLD Shoestring!! Hope you find a pan full!! Stay warm enough there. It looks bone chilling COLD. You're sure showing us Alaska as breathtakingly beautiful!! Don't step on any Bigfoots!! Loving your Hobo adventure videos. Thanks!!🥰

Sure is a beautiful place! Thank you for taking us along!

I love these ferry videos! Never been to Alaska but would love to get up there and catch one of these ferries and hangout seeing the sights!

Traveling with Shoestring, awesome !.

I can only like this video once… but I wish I could like it twice how much I absolutely loved it!!!

That looks like fun! Kinda cold though! Glad you made it back to Alaska.

Nice video Shoestring. I love ferries! I definitely gotta check out this Alaskan one for sure. You mentioned NFLD a few times now. I did that trek twice. Once in November and once in March some years back. It was choppy waters to say the least. Then had to drive a truck for 900kms to St John's in misty foggy weather. I was a zombie when I arrived...lol But the awesome seafood dinners woke me right up. Alaska seems like a similar surreal dream place. Now I know why you've gone there 33 times..

What beautiful scenery... Saw the snow tip mountains meet the sea in the air when departed from anchorage headed to southeast asia in 1969

Thanks shoestring for the view of alaska

Every time I see a train rolling by, I am constantly looking for you or just anyone so I can wave some support.

Awesome video Shoestring! Beautiful there! Great to see you out enjoying yourself up there! Thanks for sharing the beauty of Alaska with us!

It's so beautiful Shoestring! Luv&peace Bro! to the rails of the Nort! Hope the weather warms a bit bro! But know you got it covered! Cheers to the great adventures to come!

and I must say,excellent video,as always, but...thee best by far,beautiful shoestring!! ..thanku sir string!!.. phil..

Alaska in all its splendor and glory, the ARR and a nice ride on the ferry, hope the rest of Your trip is as good and maybe We can see an ARR freight, take care and good luck panning for gold,I've seen the ARR replace rail in the Whittier tunnel on that Alaska Railroad show!🛤🚂

You’re looking really well dude!

Good video. Can't wait to see the next one. Waiting to buy my lottery ticket. 😂

Hello Shoestring, around 48 minutes in. I was thinking that little island was perfect... and you say a canoe or kayak would be just what I need to go there. Campfire on the beach and survive off the land and water around you.❤❤❤❤

STEADY GROOVIN ON EM BABY! STEADY GROOVIN!!!!

Enjoy your trip! Thanks for the video..... Take care of yourself... God Bless

Sounds like a good time have fun and be safe, God bless

We have been to Cordova, an awesome place. The ferry ride there was fine, however, the return trip to Valdez at night during a big storm was insane. Very, very rough water for the entire 6-7 hour trip. Talk about 'sea legs' on land!! Broke my wrist while out travelling in a small town few years ago, chose an ambulance to nearest hospital and was given some fentynal for pain. When it kicked in, I talked to EMT about the crazy ride in gulf of Alaska! The Ferry cabinet doors were flapping back and forth, and swaying from one side to another for hours. Glad it was nighttime or definetly would have freaked out at seeing the waves. Haha

Way to go Hobo. So good to see you feeling good and sharing yer fun. Pretty funny when you pressed the selfy button and we got the closeup of Shoestring Blackwater. Aloha from Grubstake

Best Shoestring adventure ever.

Thanks for the exploration that most can't/wont do.

#HoboShoestring Hope you have a great trip, have fun, thanks for saying hey to my Mom in the video, Be Safe and Have A Blessed Night / Day 🙏

You’d an inspiration Shoestring, and a joy to watch, 👍😀

All my life, I've never liked drinking root beer. The other day, I got an ice cold Barqs root beer, and I loved it. Don't know how or why, but it just clicked all of a sudden in my 30s. That rats name in TMNT is Splinter. I was really into TMNT! Go ninja, go ninja, go! 😂

Such a wild beautiful place. Be safe string!

Best part of this is I know you’re at your “happy hunting grounds”. Your favorite area and it shows on your face.

Awesome trip so far glad to Whittier

Such a beautiful place!!!

Stay warm and safe brother!

Cold and snowy according to weather radar. Safe travels!😁

String, in the navy we called it the mess deck

Hope you strike it rich, String Theory!! 🤑😜

Thanks again for taking the time to make a great video 👍👍🥓

I probably shouldn't tell Shoestring and you all this story but it was in 1982 and I don't really care anymore. Three of us were taking a shitload of western Washington pot up to Sitka and because of the roughest crossing of the Queen Ann Straights in the Ferry system's history and damage to the Matanuska Ferry we took the Aurora to Sitka from Ketchikan a few days later. On the Aurora we stepped outside for a pre dinner joint or two and were having a good ole time when over the loud speaker we heard "would the 3 gentlemen smoking marijuana in front of the kitchen air intake fan please step aside?' Oh Shit! Of course we did and finished our business. But when we got to the cafeteria, the kitchen crew started clapping and laughing and thanked us for the free token buzz we gave them.

Amazing footage, Shoestring!

Can't wait to watch! I went panning for gold with my dad and I loved it!

Ninja Turtles Shoestring ? Hope you ain't been eating the wild vegetarian there 🤪😜 Happy your getting closer to your destination, can't wait for the next video. Safe Travels

It's so good for my own mental health to see you back in the saddle and doing what you love most. Keep on keeping on Shoestring.

Thanks 🙏 Shoestring for amazing content
