I've lived in Alaska almost my entire life and I'm always in awe at how awesome of a job you do portraying it. You make me want to go to Sitka. Keep up the awesome work!
Planning on going to sitka for a temporary bartender job at halibut point crab and chowder! Any way you could link me with your buddy with the boat?? 🙏🙏🥰
Man I've missed your videos! Fantastic work as ever Jake - someone once said to me "If you want to take beautiful pictures, stand in front of beautiful things" - you sure know how to do that. Thanks.
Cool video bro. I live in Sitka and am born and raised between here and Juneau. I enjoyed your video and just wanted to show some support and say good job. Thanks for coming and being respectful and showing appreciation to our small and beloved island.
Yes - I fully agree. I really think this channel is the most interesting channel in RUclips at the moment. And - it seems it has all of a sudden gone mute. I hop you Jake will still find inspiration to create these stories (even if you decided to stop vanlife and get back to normal routines). Even if this vanlife theme has been the common theme of your videos in the past two years - those stories you have made, are the real beef of these videos.
I am from Haines, AK born in Sitka (because Haines only has a clinic) and now living in Juneau. If you ever visit Alaska again I strongly recommend visiting Haines. It's a small podunk town with just amazing memories awaiting to be claimed! Seriously look up Haines, there is a beer fest every year, a fair, everything a small town could have to offer and more.
MAN you've got something special. Your videos make every little thing so unique and you articulate so well. So glad to see another one today man. Cheers 🍻
I’m always searching for those crispy shots too. My sister, a wedding photog, reminds me that it’s cool to capture emotion & it’s a good reminder. Those little things that basically the camera just needs to be rolling for. Without perfect lighting or composition. All good! Nice video my dude.
This video has the most perfectly balanced combination of outstanding storytelling, comedy and wisdom. This is the kind video that makes me hit subscribe.
I caught myself smiling while watching. And I think ART is delivering emotion. You done it perfectly. Just felt like hanging with my friends and Alaska felt like home, even if its 4637 miles away.
"...the place you visit is really just the cherry on top the way more important piece is who you get to share the trip with." Great take on the most important thing about Sitka for you @Jake Frew
Jake you don't know....you are one of my favourite video Creator.... Because you inspire me to live life..... Making videos is one thing but inspiring others is really important and you do it... ❤️❤️❤️ Just want to say you please make more videos about life.... I think you know very well the real meaning of life... Please keep inspire me and the world through your videos and always live your life to the fullest because life is now ❤️❤️
I appreciate you being unapologetically you (applying to the entire group). I sometimes wonder if smoking/drinking/jokes should be included in films, and this was a great reminder to simply appreciate and capture friendships. Hope we film a trip in Colorado someday.
Watching such videos in full screen often ends up with me closing full screen to like the video half way through. Sometimes I forget if I've already liked the video, but I see another spot I enjoy so I go out to like again. Didn't ever happen 4 times in one video though. Good job. Glad to see you're not lost somewhere.
As someone who has lived in Ak for 28 years, I can say this is quite accurate. What beautiful editing and story telling. Nothing truly beats coming home to a cozy warm home, in your puffy jacket, in 0 degree weather.
There is something about your videos Jake that makes them stand out one in a million. I love how you treat life like it's the one thing we have and we should value and embrace feelings and not put them away in a closet. Keep up the good work, let me know if you're ever back in Austria in the are of Zell am See/Saalbach! :)
dude!! you crafting the story beautifully. the sound design, transition, voice over, everything. Honesty watching this type of videos is better than movies. love your work ❤️
Dude, I was wondering when you would have another video out! Totally excited to see this one! When I get my channel off the ground, I think I would like to do some travel videos. There are so many awesome places to go and see! I've never been to Alaska yet, but heard its beautiful!
Jake the timing of this is so epic. Last night I was thinking where is Jake? I went to your channel and was hoping I’d somehow missed a video and here the next day you are here! Nice.
@@JakeFrew of course. Got distracted (Damn ADHD) but came back to of course finish the video. Well done, really enjoyed the story telling and the shots you got. Thanks.
Yo Nick!! Thanks so much man! I basically always carry my 15-35, and my 70-200, and then switch between the two way too often becuase I'm indecisive 😂🤘
Awesome video Jake. Looks like you all had an amazing time. Even better that you managed to capture it and share it. It will always bring back good memories for you all and it's what we all need nowadays. Genius intro BTW XD
2:50 sums up my video making journey. I used to get upset when people would “ruin” my shots by being goofy or talking randomly. Then I started to realize that a video with 100% b-roll is boring AF! Now I’m all about capturing the moments as they happen. Happy, sad, boring, or epic, just capture the moment.
Jake I'm so jealous that you got to go to Sitka. I have been trying to go for years. Wow! ALSO,...I sent you an email asking with some LuminarAI questions but I have not heard back from you. :-( It was at the email you have here on YT. Have fun in Alaska! :-)
I just love your videos mate. I take so much inspiration from you when filming myself. I've got a log way to go though 😅 keep up the great work dude 🤘🏻
You probably won’t see this comment, Jake, but I just want to say that, although Isaac surely isn’t moving to Denmark, Denmark would profit from a visit by you and your camera. I love your vibe and how your voice almost always sounds as if you’re smiling 😊 Hope to see more from you soon-ish.
I've lived in Alaska almost my entire life and I'm always in awe at how awesome of a job you do portraying it. You make me want to go to Sitka. Keep up the awesome work!
Oh man that's such a huge compliment, I'm stoked to hear that. Thank you Greg!!
"you gotta fly your drone through here." 😅😂
everybody deserves a friend like Isaac and Jake!!
This video was gold, I hope you start uploading more often.
There is just so much to learn from you.
Ahh thank you so much!! I really appreciate that, and I should be back to uploading more often in the fall when my client work slows down!

Man I've missed your videos! Fantastic work as ever Jake - someone once said to me "If you want to take beautiful pictures, stand in front of beautiful things" - you sure know how to do that. Thanks.
Love the way this ended!
"What do you think you'll miss most about living in Alaska?"
"Honestly, the silence."
(followed by 50s of music-less silence)
Jake this is exceptional! You have a gift of creating these worlds for us and it's an absolute joy to follow along.
Cool video bro. I live in Sitka and am born and raised between here and Juneau. I enjoyed your video and just wanted to show some support and say good job. Thanks for coming and being respectful and showing appreciation to our small and beloved island.
This is just like the best video ever. Isaac is “the official dad”.
with excellent hot sauce selection
I’ve been here 25 years and I’m still loving it, you shouldn’t make it your last time coming here, should try an come back again!
Fave thing about friends that move around a lot = visiting so many cool places!
I haven't found anyone on RUclips who tells stories at your level. Well done bro!
Completely agree! Succinct yet powerful.

Your storytelling is really amazing. I love the way you film, as well as the usage of instrumental music.

That hot springs was next level! Amazing what’s hidden in Alaska.

Man it's so true!! Thanks Tim!
Omg it’s been a minute since you’ve uploaded I was wondering where you’ve been
🙏 ya client work really keeps me busy in the summer time 😬 I should be back in full force in the fall though! Thanks for still sticking around!
Aah... Finally we got you ✨️♥️ you're always making the different framework .... Its awsome... Thanks man❣️
You can take whatever time you need to make this videos, they are just a piece of cinema in this RUclips World.
I love those good funny moments with friends 🖤 this was great, still eos r? Colors 🔥
Thanks so much Ryan!! Means a ton! Ya still on the eos r, constantly resisting the urge to upgrade haha 🤘
@@JakeFrew 100% bro, your vibes are dope! Your stuff looks good, you don't even need the upgrade
I like that 😌

Beautiful. Agree with you, places are amazing, but the people make the memories 🙌🏽
I keep on looking back to your channel the past weeks to see if you already uploaded a video. And now here it is! 🙏💖✨
With life being the way it is sometimes, your videos are always good for my soul.
This makes me miss a place I've never been to and memories that haven't happened yet.
Ah man thanks so much!
Me too!

Great video Jake. Living in alaska for 9 years now and I’ve never been to Sitka. It’s on my list now. Cheers!
Nothing like having good friends to experience beautiful locations like Alaska. 👍
I appreciate you being unapologetically you (applying to the entire group). I sometimes wonder if smoking/drinking/jokes should be included in films, and this was a great reminder to simply appreciate and capture friendships. Hope we film a trip in Colorado someday.

It’s so great to see it all through your eyes
Just got back from finally visiting Sitka about a week ago. What a beautiful place, cant wait to go back.
As someone who has lived in Ak for 28 years, I can say this is quite accurate. What beautiful editing and story telling. Nothing truly beats coming home to a cozy warm home, in your puffy jacket, in 0 degree weather.
You really inspire me, in a lot of ways!! Great video buddy 👍
Keep up the good work.
Love from India 🖤❤️😊
So dope. These videos give me a calming solace-like feel that I fully appreciate. The beauty of humans is not lost in your art, man.
I totally hear you with the return to a same place again... Good job with the videos!
Great to see you again, Jake!
I'll never leave.
Seven generations of my family have lived here.
Great video… love the story and the shots.

dude!! you crafting the story beautifully. the sound design, transition, voice over, everything. Honesty watching this type of videos is better than movies. love your work ❤️
Beer and smokes upon arrival to Sitka! Classic airport tradition :)
Thanks Jake! Loved the last question
Love the way you tell stories.
Dude f***ing love ur videos. They always bring so much joy to me!
Man I love the vibe of your videos! You are such a great film maker .
‘’I like it because of how it is” dead
Nice one man. I went to Alaska this year for a 9 day backpacking trip. Very memorable. Gonna need to check out Sitka.
Your videos make me feel like i am watching a movie
You have such an incredible way of storytelling! Feels like a mini doc. Cinematography on point too!
Hes Back!, Love your videos mate!! such a good story teller.
Hey Jake! I have no words how much your content inspires me. Thanks so much for uploading! :)
You are an artist! Amazing, Jake!
The drone shot through the hot tub was just 😘 👌🏻
Another amazing video dude! Can’t wait to see what you’re cooking up
Dude, I was wondering when you would have another video out! Totally excited to see this one! When I get my channel off the ground, I think I would like to do some travel videos. There are so many awesome places to go and see! I've never been to Alaska yet, but heard its beautiful!
Got to work with Isaac in Sitka, great dude 👌🤙
Thanks for the great video! You are so good at telling stories and delivering feelings!
I’m flying to Sitka in July to see family and I’m so excited
Jake the timing of this is so epic. Last night I was thinking where is Jake? I went to your channel and was hoping I’d somehow missed a video and here the next day you are here! Nice.
Haha ah no way that's awesome!! Well thanks for thinking of me, appreciate you Tucker!
@@JakeFrew of course. Got distracted (Damn ADHD) but came back to of course finish the video. Well done, really enjoyed the story telling and the shots you got. Thanks.
Lived here my entire life, it’s beautiful! I also saw my car in the video!
Yay! Jake is back! Good to see you again
Amazing film as always Jake! What's your go-to lens for a film like this? I can't imagine you'd be carrying around a bunch of different lenses!
Yo Nick!! Thanks so much man! I basically always carry my 15-35, and my 70-200, and then switch between the two way too often becuase I'm indecisive 😂🤘
Thank you for another heart string pullin vid dude! Somehow always watch your videos and get answers when I dont know the question yet!
awesome job Jake!i like your shots and your edit!you give feeling to your job and i feel this!🙏🏻😁
Your storytelling is incredible, man. Have to learn how you do it sometime.
Awesome video Jake. Looks like you all had an amazing time. Even better that you managed to capture it and share it. It will always bring back good memories for you all and it's what we all need nowadays. Genius intro BTW XD
Been starving for sum new content from you
That ending was too good! Glad you put the edit together the way you did there.

"i like it because of the way that it is" ... truest thing i have ever heard

Island, Mustache and Beer!! That sums up an epic island getaway!!! haha!!! Cheers Jake!
Hahaha that's the life!! 🤘
Your videos just keep getting better.
the colour grading tho 🔥🔥
(also jake i suggest popping up the whites a little bit.. cos humans are more likely to watch vid/pic that's brightened)
You're stories are so good man! Another level
He is a storyteller and a filmmaker. Your Videos are too good Jake🤘
Damn!
Great video… I get the sense that this is the next phase of your film 🎞 making… very cinematic
Really great video, thanks!
Looks like a fun place to visit.
It's definitely really special there!
Nice as always Jake!
Jake I'm so jealous that you got to go to Sitka. I have been trying to go for years. Wow! ALSO,...I sent you an email asking with some LuminarAI questions but I have not heard back from you. :-( It was at the email you have here on YT. Have fun in Alaska! :-)

Another awesome video Jake!
You probably won’t see this comment, Jake, but I just want to say that, although Isaac surely isn’t moving to Denmark, Denmark would profit from a visit by you and your camera. I love your vibe and how your voice almost always sounds as if you’re smiling 😊 Hope to see more from you soon-ish.
Amazing dude!! makes me want to travel soon!
