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
Just going through and rewatching your videos as if you'd just posted them.. RIP Shoestring 41:10 gave me a laugh, but what a beautiful view! Today is my grandmas funeral so I am thankful to have your videos to bring me some joy.. Thank you buddy.. I know your not here to read this but like youve said before were always with you so I believe that youre with us when we watch you!
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.❤❤❤❤
@@dandychiggins6802 imagine taking random commenters' innocuous throw away comments and trying to troll them for it. Yeah I don't think I'm the one with mental health issues here...
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! 😂
I've been stuck at home with some health issues and I miss getting out. I'm glad you're traveling again, and thankyou for bringing us with you. Safe travels Hobo Shoestring.
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
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. 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️🇺🇲🇺🇸💨
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..
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
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!!🥰
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! 🎉 ❤ 😊
HEY SHOE, MY COUSIN WORKED ON THE ALASKA RAIL ROAD ALL HIS LIFE, EN RETIRED FROM IT,, BOY YOU SHOULD HEAR THE STORIES FROM HIM, THEY LIVED ON THE CARS, WAY BACK IN THE TUNDRA,, HE SAID THEY SURE DRANK A LOT OF BEER, ON THEIR TIME OFF HE SAID,, HE WORKED FROM 1958 TO THE 90,S
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!

@@mikehemming1331 Good Morning 🌞 Yeah Shoestring is a good friend to us, when we talk whether in person, on the phone, or message he always asks about and checks on my Mom, hope you and everyone your way are doing well, Have A Blessed Week 🙂
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!🛤🚂
Yeah.I did enjoy the video.I Live in Minnesota but I always enjoyed the north country.Less people makes for a better life I think.During the Vietnam thing they had us going all over on141A's and I would volunteer for Alaska and beyond.Nova Scotia always had bad weather when we R.O.N there but back then in my rough and rowdy days who cared about weather.Well be safe out there and who knows maybe we'll cross paths one day out there in the great open spaces.
thanks for an amazing video and a fantastic trip on the ferry and thank you for filming the whole of the inside of that tunnel enjoyed that shoestringlooking forward to next video.
My uncle(from ireland)used to work on fishing boat in alaska, he just started a new contract maybe about a month before the exon valdez sank, so my uncles contract go payed off for the rest of what was left and he went working on the clean up, he made a nice lump of money:)

RIP Shoestring. We will always remember you.

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!
Thanks so much for the tour!
If you're ever in Washington, North Cascades, you are welcome to hike with me brother!
Safe travels 👍
You're an EXCELLENT tour guide. Thanks for showing me Alaska!
Shoestring you are a legend. I love watching your videos. May God keep you safe and healthy
Are you Buzzed there Buddy even legally buzzed is still Buzzing ✌️💙🦐🍊⛵🤔
No he's not buzzed. Just tired from staying up hoping it would clear out enough to get video of the Aurora Borealis
