no-more-war-4-ZIONISTS I'm glad you're on board as a sub. I was out camping on a remote coast of Washington this past weekend and shot some great stuff. It will be out in a few days when I get the edits done.
+Snow Leopard I'm glad you've enjoyed it. Even I like to go back and watch these over and over again. Planning another Alaska adventure for this summer, many more videos on the way.
can you do a video on sea kayak fishing with the stuff you would take on a trip in the north west kind of what you did on the last video for camping gear? please
+Richard Wells My original intent for filming this video log was to keep a personal record, maybe share with a few friends. I never expected so many people would find it interesting. I've learned a lot about how to edit and film since I made this original series and hopefully from my next trip to Alaska I can produce a much better series.
Not really. I've worked on and around the ocean for my entire life so I see strange things on the water and they always turn out to be normal things in unexpected places. I'm less familiar with the forest, especially those old growth forest of Alaska. I haven't seen things I can't explain but I have heard strange sounds. If I knew more about the forest I might recognize these noises.
+Dougie Price I brought 6 or 7 batteries for the camera. It was a Panasonic TS25, a simple point-and-shoot type. I'd get about 1.5 hours of video off each battery. I ended up with 9 to 10 hours of raw footage. I figured out the battery burn time before the trip. Next trip this summer, better camera(s) and more batteries. Tried a solar charger but the sun is too weak at that latitude. I'm doing a video now to answer the questions, I'll add this info in to it. Thanks.
Perhaps because of cloud cover your attempted solar charging was not successful. But to say the sun is weak at this latitude in summer is to ignore reality. There is a reason Alaska has monster vegetables, and that reason is 20 hours a day of sunlight.
Perhaps my solar charger was too small for the task. But the real question is: Do you go to Alaska on a trip like that to spend your days chasing sunlight with a solar panel to charge your electronics, or do you just bring extra batteries?
sir I was just beginning to research this idea, I'm trying to plan a 2 month trip. and document it for a movie and write a book. if I can get some advice that'd be great
+evictor480 I love Danny's video. When I found it I stayed up half the night watching it. It was an inspiration for me to film my trip. I just couldn't figure out how to make a full length video. At the time I could only upload 15 mins at a time so I cut mine into 9 parts.
+Vicki Zelasko I think the plan has to be anchored by what you can accomplish. Be honest with your skillset, how long you can go it alone without contact, how far you can travel each day, how you handle foul weather. When it gets rough it goes on for days and days and you want to pull the plug and lay on the sofa with a bowl of popcorn until life gets comfortable again but that's not an option. Any trip that long will press you in ways you can't anticipate or fully prepare for. I believe it's best to have a goal and the trip itself has to be the goal, any movie or book idea has to come from that or it just comes out staged. Best of luck.
Fantastic series of videos!! Can not believe U only have a few hundred subs! great vids!

+Snow Leopard I'm glad you've enjoyed it. Even I like to go back and watch these over and over again. Planning another Alaska adventure for this summer, many more videos on the way.
Great video that's the best feeling. .
+Lawed Knoze It's so awesome that people can pick up on that just by watching a video I shot on a little $100 camera.
great video
great video brother...hope there more fishing and cooking
Thanks!
LOL - yelling at a bear :) thans for sharing the video - really cool
+Geo Meaner Harsh language and loud voice was enough to chase it away that time. Hope that is enough next time too.
Man that is my dream trip!! Thanks for making the video in such harsh conditions..
Thanks. It was suppose to be nice during early August but you can't always count on great weather in Alaska.
That's a decent day in ketchikan actually. 😁
Nice work mate. Top effort and a beautiful place.
Thanks. I'm trying to find the time to get back there this summer. I've never found anything that compares to it.
I can see why. Keep trying mate. Haha. Good luck.
Good stuff thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it.
can you do a video on sea kayak fishing with the stuff you would take on a trip in the north west kind of what you did on the last video for camping gear? please
+bubba fisher Good idea. I'll do that one next.
+Todd Switzer OK thank you
i eally want to be there..thumbs up
:-D Well not much happened but I found it fascinating somehow. Thanks.

With some music this would be a American Eagle commercial
I was born n raised in ketch. All my fam still there. I live in seattle. Why il never know.....
Nice well done
+YAK MAN Thanks YAK MAN! Awesome name.
Can I ask you a question?
Have you ever seen anything you couldn't explain in the ocean and rivers around Alaska? Or even in the forests themselves. ?
Not really. I've worked on and around the ocean for my entire life so I see strange things on the water and they always turn out to be normal things in unexpected places. I'm less familiar with the forest, especially those old growth forest of Alaska. I haven't seen things I can't explain but I have heard strange sounds. If I knew more about the forest I might recognize these noises.
I'm not sure if you said it before. But what kind of kayak are you using?
+miller3339 It's an old Necky Tesla. It's beat up pretty good, but I've reinforced it in all the important places.
how did you keep your cameras charged over the 3 weeks?
+Dougie Price I brought 6 or 7 batteries for the camera. It was a Panasonic TS25, a simple point-and-shoot type. I'd get about 1.5 hours of video off each battery.

Where are you kayak fishing these days, 2020?
Around the SE of the US. But a serious auto accident 2 years ago stopped my kayak fishing. I'm just now starting to get back out in a kayak.
Very, very sorry to hear that. Wishing you speedy recovery.
You eat what you catch. No problems.
Yes, no problem. Fish from that area of Alaska live in very clean conditions and are very tasty.
What happened to him; did a bear get him?
I heard bears adopted him
Hwhat are those things in the beginning behind you
Those are old pier pilings made of wood and covered with mussels.
+Todd Switzer oh ok thx man
I watch for a short time . too much wet day day
DID YOU GO OUT WITH NO GUN TO PROTECT YOURSELF????,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,COOL VID,,
+usapatriotAK47 The bears didn't have guns, so I didn't take one. You know...just to make it a fair fight.
Todd Switzer
Do the bear carry bearspray or fishing poles or do they paddle kayaks for that matter or light campfires?
Todd Switzer
Your not supposed to want to fight a bear let alone give them a fair fight. lol.
Cast that reel for the time being. They're out
+Lawed Knoze Thanks
