- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- *I depart from Anchorage, Alaska to fly into King Salmon, Alaska. From there I am picked up by the company I am working with. I get taken to the cannery where I will stay in a dorm room until our boat is put in the water. At that time we will move on to the boat for the remainder of the the job. More to come in the next video.
**My name is Brian. I live on the road full time in my self built camper van. Join me on my adventures.
Thanks for watching!
**Follow Your Dreams*
I did a tour in the Air Force at King Salmon way back in 1986. Drove the road to NakNak on New Year's Eve to pick up a beer supply from the Red Dog and bring it back to Eddies at King for the New Year's Eve party.
God lead your way...God bless y’all and stay safe and healthy!
The Lord be with you...
I always look at the sockeye salmon at the grocery store and wonder about the logistics of arriving at my table. The food chain of this world is amazing ~ thank you for sharing this reality ~ with all of us!
Yes, thank you for thought and van man for action.
Brian you're a good guy and we enjoy watching your videos, thanks.👍👍👍😁😎
Really takes me back to 1968 when I was deck hand on a Great Lakes Ore Carrier. Very spartan, utilitarian, and old. Ship was built before WW1. Sure ate good though. Gained 20 lbs in 3 months... all muscle, hard work.
The fresh water of the Great Lakes is beautiful, unpredictable, and very very dangerous! I bet you have some good stories.
@@strietermarinesurvey1415 Absolutely! Storm on Lake Erie when the boat was snapping and cracking so loud thought the end was in sight for sure. At 10 knots it took 3 days to get across Superior with no land in sight. Just as dramatic as the South Pacific. Been there too. Swam with barracudas in the Marianas Trench.
@Dean Binaashkaa absolutely as bad as the ocean. Not only did I sail on an ore carrier I did 4 yrs in the Coast Guard .
5:33 "Wasting food may result in termination". Be sure to finish your plate. LOL
What an adventure! You’re really living up to your handle!
Watching this video brings me back.. I was in King Salmon back in 1992, man it had change alot.. Brings back a little nostalgia... Thank you..
So glad you mentioned Kelly! Makes me happy for you!
I hope your hotel roommate, who wasn't tested before coming in, doesn't have COVID. I'm surprised they put people together like that. Good luck, Brian, and have a good season.
Stay safe Brian! 🙂
I appreciate that they are taking the safety seriously. I hope other employers do the same.
Wow. That's a reality I have never witnessed...thanks for sharing it...
I've been on those small planes (and smaller) where they weigh the luggage AND the passengers.
Thank you for taking us along on your adventures. There's a lot of dirty work to get prepared for work. Make sure you take some time to have some fun. Be safe. 👍🏻
Actually we do the same thing for all airplanes, big and small. Large airliners estimate the weight of each male passenger to be about 200 lbs and for females at about 170 lbs (with some percentage leeway for error). All luggage is weighed when you check in and the data is transferred to the PIC (Pilot in command) to be entered onto the plane's flight computer.
Aaaaaaaagh, to claustrofobic for me., how to get rid of those fears.
I really enjoyed this video, seeing your daily duties, & the food you’re being served.. looking forward to the next vid.
⛴ Thanks for sharing ✌🏿
Good to see they are taking the pandemic seriously, be safe my friend.
The Scamdemic is over democrats lost!
You are hard worker, Brian, and the job is testing. Hope all goes well. When I lived in B C we used those planes likes buses including the float planes. Up and down between towns, and served coffee and snack.
Great to see more of your job there, this time around ✌🏼
I believe that was Denali that you captured in the plane footage. It was thrilling.
I enjoyed last year’s adventure, looking forward to this one as well! Hope the angels are with you and the rest of the crew while out there.🙏🏻 Stay well.
Awesome video Brian.. You're showing the younger Van lifers how it's done.. Good for you.. Take care..🤠👍
Once everyone has been on the boat for 14 days you should be free and clear of any covid scares and you can be off with the masks. LOL Long days but what an adventure!
Good to know for such a long adventure.
That's a small plane but you could have gotten a Beaver bush plane instead. It's a thrilling ride to get in one of those and land on a beach or a glacier. Someday you should try it.
Interesting Brian . Thanks for sharing buddy 🍻👍
Hi Brian the old guy here. Thanks for giving us a look at the type of work you do on the boat. Every interesting.
That's great you don't have to share a room with three other people. I would be awake all night listening to them.
Wow! Lake Clark Air! Awesome! The only way to fly!
Brian; I am shocked. OMG. That airplane flight; almost lost my cookies. No wonder you know how to do things. I would take a van any day. God bless you and protect you. I will appreciate my fish more.🙏💖
What I love about your videos is you give us the full picture not just bits and pieces... well done as always
OMG! I have lived such a sheltered life! The whole situation frightens the life out of me! I commend you on you resilience! What a varied life you are living. Thank you for sharing!❤️❤️❤️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
This gave me flashbacks to my time working in a shipyard. Times I thought were forgotten. Hope the pay is good.
Nice to see an employer that's conscientious about Covid-19.
Wow Van Man! What an amazing adventure! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. Looking forward to your next update. 😊 Stay safe.
Looking forward to seeing more of this boat adventure
Spent 19 years as a fishing boat skipper. My kids remember dad being gone to AK fishing. I miss the adventure, but I don't miss the cold and never feeling like you got dried out! Trust is a good season😊😎
Beats lawn and yard care... You are living the dream.. I'm a bit jelly 😎
there are lots of boats that need help if that's what you want to do.
@@Onlinesully any pointers to where to find work?
That bunk house is giving me serious flashbacks to the homeless shelter. Especially that bathroom lol. Same layout and everything.
that's nice
Looked pretty gruesome to us too...when Brian said it was "nice" we laughed, guess living in a van changes your perspective.
Yeeeehaw...sure glad your injoying the ride...peace be with you🤴
Recover Well Brian !!
I remember you being in Alaska last time....your adventures are so enjoyable....thank you for showing.
Take good care of yourself bro hope you make that job this time God Bless, make tha$$$$$$$
Great to see your video of Naknek. My son is working there too for Silver Bay. It's great to have someone giving such a good view of the area! Keep up the great work 👍
Awesome! I flew into King Salmon in 1997! Then bush plane to Pilot Point to meet friend and tender boat. Awesome memories! I had a chunk of smoked salmon at the airport! Awesome.good luck at your job. Thanks!! thanks
That's actually a nice aircraft. Be well, my friend!
How cool and exciting. I could totally do that. Tell Kelly we miss her too. Love her sense of humor!
Great job, enjoyed this. Cheers from Vancouver 🇨🇦
Stay safe friend...🙏🙏
He's surely not going to stay dangerous ...
God's blessings & grace to you on your journey, Brian! I'm glad you can video this trip. Just be careful out there. You're living your life to the fullest! 🐟🙏
Love your new documentary style vid, Brian. A day in the life....You're a good man. They must be so happy to have someone of your caliber on board. Your sober, good judgment, integrity, kindness, hardworking and healthy ways will help keep you and everyone safe. God is blessing and keeping you and the crew safe as you progress with your work. Next time I open a can of salmon I'll think of you and all the love and hard work that goes into bringing the product to market! Warm regards.
We also miss Kelly. Safe and healthy travels
I'm a bit surprised you're doing this again. As I recall this job really took a toll on you a couple years ago and I hope you emerge on a more positive note this year. My thoughts are with you. Enjoy your journey.
JustPeg ~ I recall that as well. He had a rough time the first go-round, but he did say in this video that he's better prepared and knows what to expect this time. Hopefully he has a way better experience and maybe even fun this time. 🤞🏽 🙏🏽 😃
Brian is a hard worker, if the job pays well, why not.
@@vickypastrana1245 Absolutely.. I think it is not good to dwell on the past. Brian is the best and is always moving forward with life...
@@NoProGoPronto that was the past and this is now with a new adventure.. You should try it sometime...👍 btw, have you noticed how responsible Brian is and knows how to survive anywhere during anytime..👍
ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU LOVE BRIAN..💕
Fantastic journey.. Loved it much!
Those are some long hours! Glad they’re feeding you good. You better not be a sleep walker on that boat because that’s a long fall down that ladder by the bunk. Happy you remembered the sleeping bag. This was an awesome video Bryan. Be safe!
See you soon
Such a great experience. You get to do different task and be totally devoted to work and enjoy your off time with little concern about your daily living needs. Your videos should help future workers get a feel for what to expect. It reminds me of a summer camp that I went to, alone by bus, when I was a child. I was a nervous wreck until waking up in my new, strange bunk for breakfast, the following morning with a bunch of new friends☺️
Awesome video !!!!! PEACE AND GOOD LUCK !!!!!
Keeping it real AKA "authentic" that's why I follow you. Work hard, play hard. All of my trips to Alaska have been strictly for work- as soon as this virus runs it's course I am going back in my Skoolie just for fun, fishing, and adventure.
I love that you end every video with peace
Who gets to do this kind of super cool stuff?? Man, so cool. Have fun and be safe! Hope everything went well with the appendix.
Enjoyed today’s video. Great that you made it there OK. and you first day was a success. Be safe👍☕️🍀
Thank you for taking the time to share what it’s like in desolate areas of Alaska and your working conditions! Priceless ‼️🇺🇸👍✌🏻🤔 💰😴
Interesting to see all this. A lot of hard work. Glad you have a room to yourself for the nights.
I really admire your work ethics! You’re a hard worker. I’m sure Kelly misses you, too!🙂❤️ Love the video!❤️❤️ Stay safe!!🙏🙏
Beautiful mountains and 3 Covid tests. What am adventure. Thank you for taking me along. Be safe. Can't wait to see what's next.
Excellent content Brian... Your editing skill makes traveling with you a great adventure... in spite of your hard work, I get to enjoy the satisfaction of experiencing the job without any effort at all... LOL. Thank you for your work on this channel.
Reminding me, when working at an offshore drilling rig
Great idea to bring a cozy sleeping bag after being chilly last year. I'd write my name on it in black marker. The bunk house is spartan but covers all bases and the food looks tasty.
I agree with the other comments. I've never seen a boat like that, how interesting. 🛥️
Van man, I've been binge watching all off your videos from the beginning in order. Love your channel. You've got great character and spirit. Just watched your video from 2 years ago climbing into Billy the kid's cave in Arizona. Wow!!
So, continue on with your inspiring adventures and I'll catch up to you in present time befor long.
Have fun in the great state of Alaska. I feel like I've bonded with a friend watching your channel and haven't even met ya . .😀
I always look forward to watching your videos. Just living on this boat looks like an adventure lol, hope you don't have to deal with too many people going up & down into the engine room while you're in your bunk. Also enjoyed the flight in & the music you put with it. All the best to you & Kelly, stay well.
Nice pictures, this will be the only way I get to see Alaska. Thanks
I'm a sucker for dingy living accommodations like that! I don't know why but if i get like a crappy hotel room i find it cool haha! Maybe it's just because it's different and feels more adventurous
A working adventure for sure. Missing the girl friend reminds me of my Air Force days.
You've had some really cool jobs! I've longed to go to Alaska and admire its beauty! I never even thought it would ever be possible until now. Happy trails!
Would love to know you’re list of things to bring - like your own sleeping bag
Interesting. Lots of work. Always enjoy your videos. Thank you, Brian.
Thanks for taking us along on your Alaskan salmon adventure. Loving the details you are including. :)
Reminds me of the mail plane from Rockland to Matinucus Island, Maine. Fond memory. Blessings Abound!
This is fascinating. Glad you willl have 3 covid tests. BE well.
It is so nice to see a favourable and active attitude. I just try to learn all time. thanks!
Very cool and interesting...
Thank you for bringing us along..
Talk about adventure..
👏💪🇺🇸👍
Cool! A bit claustrophobic but still bigger than the van. Very interesting how its done. Thanks for the inside view👍 Stay safe! ☮❤☮
Great video but wait a minute, your roommate did not test for covid when he entered your hotel room? What would have happened if he tested positive the next morning?
I kinda thought the same.
That's true, it was not well planned for safety that they put two strangers together in the same room. Why take the precautions of testing then put people in such close quarters? makes no sense.
We miss Kelly also but looking forward to this years adventure as didn't miss lasts years adventure. Loved the airplane footage and that food looks good. I pray that God looks after you and do take care. See you in the next one.
Beautiful views from the plane.
Oh buddy, big job. Now, only a man would clean up like that. Sweep it out, dustpan to a trash bag, then finish with the vacuum. Be done in 1/6 the time. Gotta be a broom somewhere? She's an old tub for sure, but I guess its fairly sound. Be a great job if you can hack it. Greetings and good luck from Australia.
Watching, I got lightheaded. I realized that I held my breath when the plane was in the air. Lol. It looked scary. I have never flown. Enjoy your job but be safe.
Enjoy the adventure, I know it's going to be long hard work, but you will have memories for a lifetime. Be safe and thanks for sharing.
That was just a great video, Brian, you showed us a lot. Loved the views from the plane. I've never seen a sign like the one in the mess hall - "Wasting Food May Result in Termination" - it's understandable in such a remote place. Hope you are feeling better. 🐟🚢☮️
You are a true adventurer . Many blessings on your journey! Thanks so much for taking us along again ...I love all the Coronavirus precautions! Stay well 💕
That is a real adventure.
D Redondo - Hey 🙋🏿♀️
@@shemajragin4606 hey it must be 4.00 am 😀
Fantastic Brian. Take care all the best, stay safe.🙏🏻🇦🇺❤️
Good to see your on the job. And all is well 🙏 have a great time. You’re living the dream Brother 👍👍
Looks like they feed you well.
You are such a delight, I hope your trip goes well. You make something mundane interesting.
Excellent and informative video. It is so neat to see what you are doing when you go to work in these places. I had an boyfriend who went deep sea fishing. I think that they went out at a month or two at a time. He said the first day or two he was sick from the boat movement but then recovered and was normal again. Don't forget your Dramamine for sea sickness, just in case. I hope that you are able to show us more from time to time. Maybe introduce us to your boss/Captain and co-workers. Enjoy Brian.
Very interesting. Your adventure is my adventure.
Excellent pilot. Thanks for another great video.
I fished salmon in the 1990's with a Kodiak permit. 45 foot boat was out of Homer. Then flew down to Dutch Harbor and fished Cod up near Russia. I must have been out of my mind. Hope you guys get a good run of Reds this year. Dont forget to check for Honey Bears before you leave the dock. Especially on that old wood planker.
