Welcome to BARROW, ALASKA - the Northernmost town in America!!! It's pretty wild to be up here, especially in the middle of winter when it's completely dark outside for 30 straight days. I came up here to Barrow to learn about the indigenous Iñupiat culture (which is fascinating!) as well as see how they are spending their lives in such extreme isolation - living alongside polar bears and walruses!
If you have any questions about life in Barrow or Alaska in general, please let me know in the comments down below! Also, if you want to visit Barrow, then contact Ace's tour company called "Arctic Hummer Adventures" by emailing him at arctichummeradventures@gmail.com, and he'll take care of you!

I'm from Saskatoon Saskatchewan, and I drive truck every night for work! I see the northern lights often, especially in the winter. Our provinces slogan is Land of the Living Skies, and it couldn't be more true. The further north you go, the better they get, but they are everywhere. There's nothing like being out on the road all alone in the middle of nowhere at 2am, watching the lights dance across the sky through your windshield.

Hello From Mexico. Last April, my son and myself traveled to Utquiavik for a couple of days as part of a Alaska trip for my 50th. The first time I read about Barrow I was probably 8-10, could not understand why and how people could live there. We were there for less than 40 hours but everything is just so out of our everyday life, it felt like a lifetime of adventures. Your video is just amazing. I saw it with my son and kept going: remember that?! We were there! Congrats for having the best channel on travel and people. Your channel is an inspiration for anyone with the travel bug.

I feel that this privileged white man who can afford to play 'explorer' for his own profit online is very undeserving of your kind words. His ignorance and entitlement are quite repulsive and very indicative of Murica. He immediately asked indigenous people if they are 'proud americans' and when the response wasn't an enthusiastic yes, he went on to remind them that they indulge in 'the economic benefits of being part of the US'-otherwise they would starve. He also went for 'subtly' creating manufactured tension through pitting them against people who have access to plant based/vegan products by manipulatively asking about the killing of whales. His excitement around guns is also telling. This lazy account of him doing nothing but exploiting clickbait titles while traveling first class and promoting credit cards for sponsorship is just further funding his lifestyle which couldn't be further from a cultural documentary. It's just a lazy white guy having fun for himself with other people's money while pretending he is doing some public service.

It's not uncommon to see -40c plus a windchill. It's peacful and beautiful. The gentleman that spoke about not moving for a billion dollars, coudn't agree more. There's a place for everyone. These folks seem so kind and joyful, and honestly remind me so much of our locals. I'd love to visit Alaska. (But we get Amazon is 3 days to a week lol)

Many months after posting, I'm watching from Georgia, across the Chattahoochee River from Alabama. I grew up in lower Michigan and got to see the northern lights every few years. Been to Alaska twice, brief stops on my way to Korea. Like you, I love Korean food. Thanks for sharing your travels.

I grew up in North Dakota, we saw the Northern Lights often, especially in winter. They are beautiful and we thought they were no big deal, but enjoyable to see. I now live in Minneapolis, and on rare occasions one can see the Northern Lights here if you can get away from the city lights. The farther north one goes from Minneapolis, the more frequent they are.

My goodness they act just like my people on the Seminole reservation. Everyone just teases each other pretty hard. But that means they like you. And besides teasing, everybody always keeps a sense of humor and seem pretty happy and friendly. But I would say out of all the character attributes, the teasing/sense of humor is the biggest trait.

I remember as a kid watching a TV show called “Football Town” on the NFL Network. It took place in Barrow, Alaska and was about a Barrow, Alaska High School Football team and the difficulties they face being so far away from any other High School Football Team and what it’s like playing football on top of the world LITERALLY. I loved that show and never would’ve thought almost 10 years later I’d see someone I watch all the time mention this place let alone visit it.

Hi Drew! Watching from Slovakia! I'm an American living with my husband and daughter in the valley between the Low and High Tatra mountains (soothingly beautiful, worth coming) and I love this video because I flew to Barrow for a weekend from Fairbanks while I was working for a summer in Denali National Park. It was August, but it was still about 30 degrees F. I did a polar plunge (the water was 28 degrees F, low but not frozen due to the salt content.) I loved my time there, especially seeing the traditional dancing. Great destination for winter solstice.

aloha brother Drew... just found you a week ago and have become a big fan right away... i love what you do, saw a video with your parents and love them too... i'm 76 and live on the Big Island of Hawaii... up until 70 i was bodyboarding four or five hours a day, and now that time and age have caught up with me your videos have become one of my greatest joys... about the northern lights... i saw them once years ago in New Hampshire as i was heading to a friend's cabin in the mountains to stay for a while... we came over a hill and the sky was ablaze with red and orange northern lights, moving like chariots of fire through the sky... my friend who had lived there for several years never saw them before and we were speculating about what it was... was it an extraterrestrial visitation? was it armageddon? when we got to his cabin, i called the local police department and they didn't know either... found out the next day it was a rare occurrence of the northern lights, just a different color than usual... thank you so much for all you do, brother Drew... it is helping to unify and heal this troubled world... more aloha and lots of love

Alaska, New England, Scandinavia, Siberia, Canada…it’s so fun to see you give them their due with a nice lengthy video! Alaska is near the top of my bucket list of travel destinations! Hope you get to see the Northern Lights soon and looking forward to seeing what kinda mischief you can get into when you visit Nunavut.

I was born and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia, a tropical country on the equator, it's impossible for me to survive in a place like this. I've never even seen and held real snow.
@goytabr Жыл бұрын
Jandon, I'm from another mostly tropical country, Brazil. It's a very big country, so part of it is outside the tropics (in the South) and it does snow in higher places there occasionally in winter, but it's not common, maybe once or twice a year in one spot in a large area, and then it only snows lightly (but that's enough to send all TV news people there to show it nationwide in the evening news!). Still, most Brazilians have never seen snow and never will. However, I have had the opportunity to travel to colder countries in winter (Argentina, the USA, Germany), so I have seen snow. It's beautiful on the day you arrive there, but it gets annoying from the second day on. It causes all sorts of problems: stuck cars, slipping when walking, deadly snow avalanches from the roof of the houses, wet clothes (when it's snowing, snow falls on your clothes and then you enter a heated place and it melts), depression with the whiteness and the short daylight time, and the list is endless. And obviously, it's COLD, VERY COLD!!! People who have always lived there and are used to it actually love their winter, skiing, playing on the snow, etc., but I really didn't like it and I'm very thankful that there is no snow here. But you can have a good idea of what snow looks like: do you know that soft ice powder that forms and sticks on the wall of the freezer compartment of fridges, especially old single-door ones? I mean, it's soft at first and you can collect it with a spoon. That's what snow looks like (including the fact that it's only soft when recent, but after a day or two it hardens into thick solid ice that's very slippery to walk on). Many people here imagine snow as something creamy like ice cream, but it's not. It's just ice powder, without the "cream" part.

Other commentators had covered alot about snow and living among snow....but I just want to add in another fact....as a fellow Southeast Asian who lived, travelled and worked in countries that had four seasons....especially during the winter season.....my skin gets very very dry and my lips and the tip of my fingers CRACKED till it bleeds. Itchy scalps because my scalps also dried up during the winter. I soon learnt that my usual shampoo and shower foam that works in a tropical climate like back home......does not fare well in cold, dry winter months. For example in Osaka, Japan....I switched to using a bath foam made of natural horse fat.......it smelts like vanilla but yup...the main ingredients was horse fat....and my skin was recovered almost immediately. I switched from showering twice a day to having a warm evening bath before bed. The frigid cold air gets chilly pretty quickly right after I stepped out of the hot shower and I personally am used to air drying my hair.....and just cannot get used to using the hair dryer......so I adjusted. Maybe my first snowfall was during Xmas morning.....and that kind of was a magical scenery.....but having painful chapped lips thats could cracked and bleed....as well as cracked fingertips and "itchy" dry skin......yah...that rose tinted glasses broke within 3 days..... It is not impossible to survive in temperate colder climate for those of us used to a hot and humid tropical climate......we just have to adjust to using the local products and lifestyles. Travelling and backpacking really broaden our minds mate......go on and travel abroad!
@Storm-ib7uz Жыл бұрын
this is really interesting. I just assumed it’s natural to enjoy snow in the winter and hot sun in the summer. When the winter comes, we in Europe just go snowboarding/skiing, fight in the snow, have fun etc and in the summer we do the summer stuff. It’s just so normal for us. I can’t even imagine living in an endless summer. I would miss winter and autumn and spring. How can you even appreciate the flowers, the green, the sun and the heat if you never saw the trees with the leaves falling and then blooming again all at once in the spring? How can you miss & love summer if you don’t wait for it from autumn to spring? Also when it’s snowing here, we are all so excited and happy.
