      Did you have to reserve your sites? Maybe you mentioned that and I missed it…
      Looks like a lot of solitude?

      @@FrontlineLLC Hi Bryan! Yes, we did reserve and you are required to reserve in advance. Our packs were between 25-30 lbs (they had us measure them), but that was with more water than normal.

    I was really looking forward to seeing this video! We were just out there as well and you guys were able to show us the side of the island we didn't get to experience. (Prisoner's to Potato Harbor) We got to enjoy Scorpion Ranch, Cavern point and walked down right by your campsite. We also loved the wildlife sightings of the whales, dolphins, Foxes and Island Scrub Jay's. Thank you for showing us and also excellent job with the camera work and editing! You guys are fun, informative, and funny! My guess for next stop after your food will be Pinnacles NP or Big Sur. Looking forward to wherever you end up!

  • @WhenAdventureKnox
    @WhenAdventureKnox 2 года назад +2

    I saw this on Facebook first, then headed straight here. I was really hoping you'd visit the Channel Islands National Park. The fee structure for the ferry ticket is very similar to what we have the UK in that if it's a day trip its cheaper, and I've never understood why. Loved the shots of the sea life from the ferry, at first seeing the seals I was like 'yeah I'd expected something like this', then the dolphins were like 'whoa that's cool' but then the whale just knocked my socks off. ❤😍 Good to know about the need for sea sickness tablets as I am rather susceptible and this National Park is very firmly on my list. Your breakfast bagel brought back memories of Yellowstone for me. We made up a bunch of jam bagels as we were staying in the cabins that didn't have a kitchen and unlike sandwich meats, wouldn't go off. If you feel the sachets aren't enough, I'd recommend making them up in the van using a jar before setting off. 100% agree with you guys that the foxes are just adorable. That view at 16:35 was spectacular. I can understand why you wanted to detour off there. It was amazing that you were able to pick up the Sea Lion sound there too - at first I thought you'd come across other hikers, which would have made sense given how pretty it was there. 11 miles with all your gear and how undulating the trail was, was such good going. I love your backpacking videos, but when combined with a park I'm really eager to visit, this has been such an awesome thing to add to my Sunday... and should I even mention the 'Cream Crackered' comment from Adam at the end?! Best cockney rhyming slang that ever there was!!!

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  2 года назад +1

      You're the best! We were confused by the fee structure for the ferry too. Our guess is that maybe since we are carrying more gear than a day hiker? All the wildlife was amazing! We figured we'd see some, but didn't know we would see that much! That's a good idea with the food. Next time I think we'll try to premake some stuff ahead of time. We have thought of it before and ran into trouble with soggy tortillas, but bagels will hold up much better! Potato Harbor is gorgeous isn't?!
      We're glad we could be a bright spot on your Sunday! Next time you're on this side of the pond you have to have Channel Islands to your trip! It's well worth a few days out there.
      I (Adam) have been wanting to sneak that in for the longest time since hearing it on your vlog. The Cockney rhyming slangs are so funny and that one was for you!

      i am new to their channel (as of Dec. 14, 2024) and just started binging bc the first video i came across and watched was them up here in Alaska (their Talkeetna video) and at the end they mentioned another video from up here so i decided to go to the actual channel. i found this playlist of their Journey TO Alaska (just made it to this video since watching in order, nonstop, back to back, lol) and once i finish this playlist im going to watch ALL the Alaska videos (then the rest of their entire channel after that! LOL!!)
      i was born, raised, and STILL live in Anchorage Alaska 🥰 unfortunately though, ive not had opportunities of any sort to even go check out my OWN HOME STATE! so they are seeing things and going places IVE never even seen or gone to in my 38 years! so i enjoy watching any and all types of videos that are from up here so i can see and experience stuff vicariously through other peoples videos LOL!! 😆 ive only done a few memorable things, like, in 5th grade we had a fieldtrip from Anchorage to Seward and we spent a night or two IN the Sealife Center and also went on the Kenai Fjords boat tour.
      during 6th grade camp we stayed at the Victory Bible Camp cabins (maybe Palmer area?) and one day hiked all the way up a HUGE mountain where we were taught about and got to find real fossils. and on another day we drove onto and also hiked/walked around on a glacier.
      probably the only other thing is, also back in either grade school or jr. high school, we hiked up to see Thunderbird Falls (which is not TOO far from Anchorage).
      its funny though bc eventhough i was born and raised here, i actually DONT like the outdoors like hiking and camping 😆 id much rather be in my home lol but it also seems the older i get, the more i feel like im missing out 😕🤔 so, maybe one of these days (if i am well enough physically and finacially) i will try to get out there and do things so i dont end up regretting NOT doing it when i was able to... 😊❤🥰
      Anyway, sorry for babbling away lol

    I am wanting to do the Eastern Sierras next year because I want to get to Sequoia and Kings Canyon. Mainly because I am worried something is going to happen to those groves before I get a chance to see them if I wait any longer. Anyways, I am well aware of Channel Islands but it wasn’t too high on my list of the CA National Parks. Wow, was I mistaken. It looks magical. Thank you for highlighting it. May have to see what I can do get out there if we make this trip happen next year.

    Thank you so much for this fun video, I loved it! The boat ride was awesome, and the nice blue water with the whales and dolphins 🐬 in the distance they were so amazing. I loved all the panoramic views at the islands. You both had three fabulous days of backpacking at the Santa Cruz Islands. It’s so nice seeing you both having so much fun in your travel adventures. Your little dance at the end was so cute. Thank you so much for sharing part of your travel adventures with us. Safe travels.🤗😊🌊🌤🏕🏜🏔⛺️

    What a great trip! And water is so heavy! That was our mistake when we went there, we cooked with water. They updated the pit toilet! Probably one of the best views from one of those things. Thanks for sharing, love that Island! This one was so inspiring! Can't wait to go back. - Kayaking there is pretty amazing, but you're right, it's pricy.

    • @AdventuresofAplusK

    I balked at the price of the ferry but then realized it was round trip, and in the end the amount of sea life you saw made it less expensive than a whale watching tour! Looks like so much fun, especially the adorable foxes. Great catch of the C-17 globe master too. That's my favorite Air Force plane to catch a ride on.

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  2 года назад +1

      Yes it was a pretty penny, but all the wildlife and it being round trip made it worth it. That plane was so neat to see as we were hiking down!
