It's always a great time to be outdoors in Alaska. Our hunting trip may have been uneventful and the temperatures well below freezing but that didn't stop us from enjoying the blissful Alaska Range and keeping hot and cozy in the wood stove tent.

When my family lived in Alaska back in the 1950s, my dad did a lot of moose and bear hunting. Every time he went bear hunting, he saw lots of moose. Every time he went moose hunting he saw lots of bears.

I started winter camping last year and discovered Duraflame firelogs (or similar) would allow for approximately 3 hours of burn time/heat so you don't need to wake up as often. Throw one or two in just before going to sleep. Burn regular firewood the rest of the time. Simple Living Alaska is my favourite channel!!! Please keep up the amazing videos.

What wonderful impressions you give us of your Alaska. The coyote casually sussing you out was just amazing - and everywhere there is food (the high bush cranberries). The solitude of the country is stunning but so great you get to enjoy it together. It is simply beautiful to be there with you but without any effort on our part - or discomfort either. Thank you.

I am so afraid of bears. I kept thinking of all those people that died after running from their tent that's still a mystery. I was afraid for you until it struck me, you lived to put up the video. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

@davidbuben3262 Жыл бұрын

Yes, it does take SOME courage to go out like that, because something could, and has happened, though it is rare. But for people with that hunger for adventure, and the need when you're subsistence hunting and fishing for your family, not going out into the bush isn't an option. One summer when I was a teen, I was getting close to civilization after solo hiking and camping for almost two weeks. I came upon a family that was going outbound and they had on backpacks, so it looked likely they were planning on camping. As we passed each other, we had a quick friendly exchange. I told them I had watched a brown bear with two cubs for about 20 minutes and it was about 2 miles up the trail. And if they hurried they might get to see it. This was above treeline like you see in this video. I hiked about another mile, turned around on a hilltop and could see the family hiking back towards me. Too scared of the bears. Powerline Pass, 25 miles southeast of Anchorage Alaska. c1974.
