I was a Canadian trucker and did alot of off road stuff in northern BC to oil rigs in the 1960's and 70's. I was also an outdoor person and if I would have broke down, knew how to survive. I watch what these people do, hanging from a chopper, or swimming in ice cold water, trying to get to impossible spots, and swinging around over ships in snow storms, just blows me away. I thought to myself they are either insane, or brave or both. No matter which, I have nothing but respect for them. It takes a super person to do what they do.

I can tell I've watched way too many of these when I recognize the crew by their voices. Love this show!

So glad I found this show. God bless everyone of you in the Coast Guard.

Thank you all servicemen and women. 💪🇺🇸

Repairing lighthouses on rocky alaskan islands out of a helicopter is pretty badass

Just found this channel amazing coast guard's my fav thing to watch now. Such hero's

Hooked on this show. Keep up the good work.

The ppl in the Coast Guard are very good and efficient at their job. Saving the ppl in Alaska when trouble strikes, is all that matters.

Hello. I can't imagine how stressful it was for you all in that rain & snow. So scary to me. OMG 8HRS one way & you have to pick up all those people. You guys are soldiers! Be safe out there people. Love to all

A camera on the basket might be interesting. I like the moments of eagles, whales, and scenery.

"What fire starting method are you using?" "Cheating with a lighter." that man almost 100% was a boyscout as a kid.

Yes, that's dunkrik saved by coast guard Alaska minister

I love the beautiful shots of the Bald Eagles. Absolutely AWESOME!!!!

Love this show

I was in the Coast guard I in 1977 is when I enlisted I come from the old guard.....

There is no way in hell that guys name is gary.....he deff looks like a ricky 100%

Arrrrrrrrrrr, “Higher Level of Care”! Arrrrrrrrrrrrr!

as a veteran guards men my self BRAVO!!!!!!! how can i get a hold of David Call

Rescue teams everywhere are amazing. I know I couldn't do that job, I fell apart after helping with an accident. Those brave people who can do it more than twice in a lifetime definitely deserve better treatment! They do a good job of making it look easy, but it isn't. Thank goodness someone can handle that kind of work! The ER people are very important, too, I wasn't trying to leave them out of the credit, but they weren't really part of this video. I am not less grateful to them, just trying a tiny bit to keep to the subject, only now I feel I shorted them... *Edit: that one dude needs to get out more or read more, something. Alaska isn't the only damp state. Even Arizona has some damp spots. There is a very good reason "fire starting kits" exist. Better if you know how to make your own, but even the store bought stuff is better than an empty pocket. I would not suggest anyone go into a rural area with out one, even if they never need it in 50 or more years. At the very least, know how to make one. Trying to figure it out in an emergency is not a good time to start. Please do learn, because death doesn't seem to be much fun.

Why do paramedics and other medical professionals think that if they look nervous it would be worse for the patient? I have a severe allergic disorder, and have insanely frequent anaphylaxis. It drives me nuts when they don't seem to be responding to my urgency. I have had SO many experiences where they under-estimate how sick I am, and have gone into cardiac arrest because an ER doctor didn't believe me. If I'm telling you that I am going to be unconscious in under a minute, and they respond "Everything is going to be fine." is the MOST anxiety provoking thing- it means you're not hearing me. I want to know what my BP is, my O2 stats, etc etc. Patients are more and more informed, and using placating tones makes us crazy. How about "I hear ya, I'm on top of it. What would you normally do next?" Or "I see your BP is thru the roof, is that normal for you?" Because I KNOW that if my BP is 240/145 you're worried (or utterly incompetent, but that's rare). Patients want to know if they should be worried, and if you're worried enough. And people aren't idiots- we can see if your affect and your actions don't match, and it just makes things confusing as hell. I don't want you to be calm, I want you to be in control. And never, ever, lie to me. Don't tell me i am going to be okay if I'm not.

I’m hooked on this show as well

Perforated bowel is subject to peritonitis which can kill you in hours let alone a day or two. That is your main concern till that bowel is sutured shut. Most likely he would be transported with antibiotics hanging for the IV.

I know this is an old episode but I suffer from chronic bronchitis and feel his pain. I've also had pericarditis which means inflammation containing my heart sack. I have issues with my heart since then unfortunately.

Cost Guard Alaska you do a awesome job at saying lives 🎉😅😅😅😅😅

Albuterol is good stuff. I can personally attest.

5:17 thats my childhood friend Bill Coleman.

You guys are super hero’s. I wanna do a documentary for Australian TV if Rupert Murdoch will let me.

❤. Excellent fun for kids. Kodiak.

Alaska weather is insane. When I was in the USAF they sent me out to Shemya to replace a TACAN. as we landed I swear I could have just stepped out of the plane and walked. Pilot said he set it down with 37 knots of ground speed.

W contractors ong tho

I guess what amazesmeis the large number of vessel failures..Imean comeon! It's Alaska.. DO....YOUR...MAINTENANCE

Coast Guard Stations

Weather cleared up very quickly

*CORPSMAN!*

Who else thought them men looked like tin man or was that just me

❤ To these Guys 😊

You GOTTA have your survivalgear ON YOU R PERSON. If it is on your boat or your horse..You won;thaveit whenyou need it

🔥 show 👍

First guy definitely has the rona. Shortness of breath and the chills.

Ffs I'm on a 2day binge with this shit lolol couldn't praise these boys high enough

Those guys who had their boat float away essentially got an extra night in the cabin and a free helicopter ride out after their hunting trip, they were probably happier to have the heli than the boat, lol.

As a USCG reserve Maritime Enforcement Specialist, if I volunteered to deploy, what are the chances of getting Alaska as an option?

I thought I knew that boat, yeah Coastal Transportation they have like 5 boats. They just run cargo.

Super tamely

Great show. Question for anyone who knows: I see that Adak is some 1600 miles from their base at Sitka - about the same distance as LA! Did they fly the helo to Adak in the C-130 or island hop all the way out there? There were a few shots of the C-130 at Adak but the sequence was unclear.

stranded weasel

Just curious I wonder if the rifles were cleared?

I barely go to my local supermarket without my PLB.. How in the World these people are running around in the middle of absolutely nowhere without one is beyond me.. $300 people and so could easily save your life!

So I was playing wow and at 36:09 I glanced up and I swear I thought that was Dr.Phill for a sec XD

Their eyes always look so tired :-(

Fireinstructor doesn;tknowwhat he is doing. Yo PREP your kindling by size BEFORE you strike your kindling...Send that guy to SERE

26:48 - remind me to NEVER be stranded with *that guy* . Holy sh*t we get it, it’s survival training but does it have to be miserable morale killing co-worker training as well??????? 🤷🏻‍♀️🙄😵‍💫 (also ps- “some degree of *uncomfort* “ !?????? Ok wow not a real word, but no, absolutely trust this guy with your life lol)

So the coast guard is Alaska's 911 basically

19:24 oh shit I thought he was meaning 23 people were dead in the water not that the ship was dead in the water. That tripped me out

How does the health care / insurance system work with these cases? Do people get charged for rescues?

Hence thename "DeadMan's Bay"

why wasa that gentelman out at sea in his condition, he put everyones life at risk

Roger that.

Go Coast guard. You make this Country a safe place. For those of you who disagree. Go to HELL. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

When I am flying, I file a flight plan so if something goes wronginflight I canaskfor radar followingandif Igo down, they have a place to look. Is there a meansto file a "boat plan" with the CG?

18:53 ‘Merica

Why didn’t the boat drop anchor?

The USCG rescue swimmer role lacks utility. In Australasia the top tier civilian rescue helicopter services have intensive care paramedics (far more qualified and experienced than air medical corpsman) and which are also rescue swimmers.

Too much redundancy. I have to believe that the shows producers think their audience has a very low attention span.

what was wrong with the lighthouse tho???

Mike is 60??

Looks cold

Old CG joke, told by my late-ex USN corpsman, who had great respect for Coasties: How do you tell the difference between a Navy vessel & a CG vessel? If a CG vessel sinks, you get to walk to shore. (I know, I know, it's a very outdated joke!)

How many Coast Guard have in Alaska?

Krystyna McRoberts. OMG I will marry you some day.

Pucker factor 😂

What Is There To Dislike About This Video 🤦🏼‍♂️

That big vessel they went to help was an illegal whale-Ing ship

Not contexted

Z

I the USAF we flew into Shemya..C130 at 9 knots ground speed 95% on the turbines. IN a helicopter it woul dbe impossible. We taxied into the wind to the very end of the runway and tied down because turning at any angle tothe wind would probably rolled the aircraft.Alaska is a BITCH

hunters out murdering animals, should leave the fookers out there

Boring!!
