Y’all’s camera angles and many many different shots are just amazing!! You guys are so entertaining Love your videos and stay safe!!🗻🌊 #ThanksHanks also thank you so much for adding the music you using the description! So helpful!
That is so scary. You totally did not over react. I am so glad you are okay. Just to give you some positive vibes, I am so glad I found your channel. I got the idea to sell my house and move into an RV full time a year ago and searched and searched for someone good to follow and finally found you 8 months ago. Your positive vibes and excitement have kept me going. I'm in the vicious cycle of no pay raise and higher bills, trying to afford getting my house ready to sell. My good friends I've secretly told think full time RVing is so me and your videos make me so happy. They are awesome, inspiring and realistic. So I'm nervous, but good nervous, and you have made me feel welcome like I can make this dream come true. Thank you so much for keeping it real and fantastic! Your videos are fun, funny, heart warming, educational, and so much more. I hope we meet some day!!!!
Great shot of that adolescent Bald Eagle! That time of year, the young eagles are newly fledged and can be such fun to watch. Glad you got to see them.
Love the videos, Hanks! Full time RV’er and travel nurse. Weather alerts on the phone are great-I always have my NOAA Weather Radio set to alert. Cannot recommend enough!
Well, it looks like you folks had quite the stop at Anchor Point. Kyllonen's is a great campground but yeah its tight. We just had spots 9&10 a couple weeks ago and it was all I had to back my travel trailer into spot 10, its 32 foot bumper to ball. Even with my extra short short bed Silverado I had to wiggle into the spot. But once in, the hosts were great and took care of us. We brought our ATV's and did the epic ride from Anchor Point to Homer on the beach. Not to brag, it was 4 days of sun and blue skies while we were there... perfect ATV riding weather. So the bird and what is it. Its a juvenile bald eagle. They start out more what you saw, good camouflage for young birds then as they mature the white head and tail come in and the solid dark body colors take over. The tsunami alert! I was camping in Cooper Landing at Cooper Creek South Campground at that time when that tsunami alert went off on both of my phones. Nothing like being in bed winding down streaming a little TV and all the phones which were on silent go off! I read the alert, worked the geography and looked at Coco the RV Adventure Cat, she said we were fine, I agreed and turned off the TV. If the Tsunami came that far, the mountains would become islands... Its always fun watching people do travel shows of my home state. Sorry about all of that rain. Its been a wetter than usual summer. Usually June and July are pretty dry, but that also means a good potential for forest fires and the Kenai Peninsula needed a little vacation from those. You probably noticed the burned trees between Cooper Landing and Sterling... Any ways, just wanted to chime in about Anchor Point and we'll always have Tsunami... 😅
Great video guys I appreciate all your contact and I enjoy watching it. I just thought I would pass this on to you guys. I have a 2019 Chevrolet 3500 diesel truck just like yours. I had to get new tires for my truck and I looked around at a lot of different brands of tires. I had the old trans with severe winter rating and I wasn’t really happy with them when it comes to off-road conditions and traction on and off road. I was told by some friends that pulling trailers to on and off road. And they told me about Toyo open country R/T-Trail Tire. It is a new tire and it’s only been out for a year. And it’s has a different construction them up Toyo open country R/T rugged terrain. It was developed and engineered and designed for over Landers. It’s a Record Tire aggressive traction, along with having a strong carcass. The sidewall isn’t a three play sidewall like you would have honey regular RT tire measuring tire. The Toyo open country R/T Trail has a normal to play sidewall but it’s extra thick. So you get the extra aggressiveness of a maturing tire and durability of him a train tire without the Steph ride of a mud terrain tire. This tire was designed to spend as much time off road as it does on road. So after hearing all this information, I decided to go ahead and try it and I bought a set of four for my truck. And I will tell you they look fantastic in the handle really nice. They are just a little bit noisier than an all-terrain tire but not bad. The traction on North Road is amazing and the tire handles very nice on road as well. Antonio also boxes tire up with a 45,000 mile treadwear warranty. And a 45 day 500 Miles customer satisfaction warranty. If you’re not happy with this tire at all within that. You can bring it back for a full refund. And I will tell you this tire may not last as long as the ones that are on your truck, but the extra traction in my opinion is well worth it. And I’ve also had this tire out in heavy rain with my truck and it handles flawlessly. It even handles in my opinion better than the all-terrain with a severe winter weather rating on it. Great traction on wet roads and zero hydroplaning.
Thank you Hanks for your videos. I’m from Homer,AK and miss it so much! My family moved from AK to TN in 1993. I cried seeing all the beautiful footage you took, you don’t know how much it means to me to see home again. Don’t forget to look at the volcano Mt. Redoubt between Anchor Point and Homer.
Just because the ocean is going to flow over and consume the land you cheechako get all upset. Earthquakes, volcanoes, bears, freezing rain storms, it's always something. You hit our best season too. Alaskans are often bored in the lower 48. No one said it was easy in the arctic ... hope you enjoyed your trip. 😂👍 🇺🇸
I’m glad you are all safe and I understand how scary it can be . But on the bright side… you guys caught beautiful fish!!!!!! Nice dinners to come! Give some recipes if you make it yummy 😋 !!!!
WOW......just WOW!! You guys rocked the tsunami warning and remained calm; so impressive. I learn something new from you each time I watch your channel. Thank you so much for the information and I look forward to the next one. From one ER nurse here in SC to another; travel safe and hope to see you soon.
Exciting and scary all wrapped up into one night. Glad it all worked out. The best part was seeing all the smiling faces after your fishing trip..So much adventure, so little time. Love seeing you both in real time. Showing the worst and the best of your trips.
Hey guys, haven’t commented in awhile, we finally sold our house in July and have been full timing since. We have a dog and a cat. The cat meows, drools, pukes, and poops on travel days. I ended up building a platform and elevating his pen (it’s bigger than the D man’s so it fits a litter box) so he can see out during travel. It’s strapped in with a seatbelt and 2 ratchet straps. No more meows, drooling and puking. 3 outta 4 is a win!
Just watched your video, we were in Homer the same night! That was a long night and a super wet weekend. We were raised in Alaska and now RV based out of central Texas. We visited Alaska the month of July and it was the wettest we can remember.
We can’t thank you enough! We have been discussing driving to AK and you helped us decide. NO. Not doing it. You saved us THOUSANDS so we are going to buy Let It Rip merch for Christmas. We watch every week. Safe travels
We loved Homer, but we stayed at one of the campgrounds on the spit. It was so awesome to walk all around that area! It was the last stop of our 15 days in Alaska. Glad to see you took the “advice” of the Tsunami. You just never know! Better to be safe than sorry, especially in the unfamiliar area. I also loved the copilot team of Dexter and NayNay. Safe travels and great adventures!!
Awesome stuff. Love the shot of the young bald eagle! Kalyn and I had the same "What in the world is that" reaction when we saw an immature bald eagle on our neighbors roof in Florida. (way back when we did that whole "sticks and bricks" thing.)
Howdy Hanks! Love your honesty and being upfront. We’re planning an Alaska trip in 2025. We’re not doing the BC route but we’re going. Thanks for everything!
The eagle is just an immature eagle. They don't get their adult feathers that give them the distinct white head and tail until their 5th year. Love watching your adventures.
You two are so entertaining! My wife an I live full time, yes year round, in our Solitude in Cooper Landing Alaska which you have driven through on your way to Kenai and Homer. We are the caretakers of the Cooper Landing Community Center. We would love to have you stop by! You can't miss us!
Glad you guys w/ Dex are safe! That is super scary! But you guys remaining calm, cool, and collected definitely is a plus. I probably wouldn't have been,... actually I know I wouldn't have been. Hopefully you guys were able to go back to bed and get some rest after that adrenaline rush! Love your channel and videos!
I’m late to the video… but I believe the bird is a juvenile Bald Eagle. I’m really Loving your Alaska and Canada road-trip series!! Thank you and safe travels!!
You did the right thing. Had some friends who were camping in the texas hill country next to a river and at 11:00 at night camp director came pulling it honking his horn and had yelling “get out get out don’t look back get in your vehicle and get out and they were literally driving through water as they left and watched as all the RVs were swept down the river. True story
Oh wow! That would be so scary!! Glad y’all are safe!! I think NeyNey got the award for the biggest fish! Great job NeyNey!! Happy Camping and Safe Travels! 🙏🏻❤️
I grew up in Alaska and we had a pop up camper. Been everywhere and fished without guides for free. Even as small children. Things must have changed. Free camping etc.
Grace under pressure.... your ER nurse skills were showing out. What you said about just getting out is all too often not observed. Glad you guys are safe! Found it very interesting that they had to put the charter boat in with a CAT 🤔😯 #ThanksHanks for sharing your adventure with us!
So cool to see you two adventuring where I live. I sure wish I could have caught up with you while you were here! Could have helped you find all the adventures you could handle!
Lived in Kasilof for 12 years. It was a juvenile bald eagle, and so long as you are 100 ft above sea level you are pretty much safe on the Kenai. But if you need peace of mind, head inland toward Soldotna, and don't take k-beach road.
Wow!! Glad you folks are all okay. Dexter isn't cool with being in a harness. George slept right through your warning. But then at a mile high a tsunami is the least of our worries. The Alaska trip looks so awesome from the lower 48. Now a spring blizzard with the power out...yep that would be a worry.
You guys, THANK YOU! THank you for being those people who calmly took a warning seriously and acted on it while being smart and careful. Ive been watching your videos since youtube suggested your video of starting this particular adventure, and I've made that drive myself and absolutely loved it and would do it again in a heartbeat. I realized I was not subscribed, but this video caused me to remedy that. You did the right thing but you didn't overreact. Well Done, and glad you guys and Stinky are safe!
Another great video from you guys! We were in Seward when the tsunami warning went off! We looked at where the earthquake was and checked all the other info sources and stayed in our spot. Also, great catch! Halibut is one of our favorite fish! We are Valdez bound this weekend!
You guys are so adorable together, I hope my wife and I have as much fun when we hit the road full time next year when I retire, oh did I mention we will be married 47 years, keep up the great videos, I have been to Alaska, it is a breath taking state.
Oh my gosh Hanks! My family and I were staying just outside of Anchor Point in Whiskey Gulch that same day! Got the tsunami warning on our phones as well(terrifying!), but we were good well above the inlet on the bluff. The spit is amazing! Captain Patti’s! What a view! We took the family and the dogs down to Anchor River at the beach to beachcomb…I’ve never seen so many eagles in one place at one time! Fun times! Thanks for bringing us along!
That Tsunami warning was scary, so glad you all eventually found the Alaska State patrol to help give you some good and reassuring information and all was well from that point. I think that Bird May have been a young pre mature adult Golden Eagle, I think I saw a special that said they change From young to mature adult. If not Golden Eagle then it's the Bald Eagle.
We were in Homer last June, staying at the Lands End Hotel at the end of the Homer Spit. We were doing laundry at the laundromat at the entrance to the spit when the Tsunami warning horn sounded. The owner said to get to high ground. We drove up to the high spot where the welcome to Homer sign was. We had the local radio station on and no warnings were sounding and the ocean looked calm. We went back to the laundromat and it was a false alarm. Someone had hit the warning. We thought it was interesting that very few people were heading out of town and the locals probably figured it out quickly.
So glad you are safe. All that spectacular mountain scenery comes with risk of earthquakes and tsunamis. I hope you enjoyed the remainder of your time in Alaska. It really is one of the most spectacular places to visit in North America.
I am so glad y'all are OK. Better to be safe than sorry. We were in a terrible July storm in South Dakota one year and our camper was totaled in a storm with golf ball sized hail and 65 mph straightline winds. Yes! We spent most of the night in the cinderblock bathhouse and left to go home the next day. ❤🙏Jane/SC safe travel and fair weather to y'all.
The imagery you’ve shared has been exquisite! I’ve always wanted to go to Alaska. My current husband and his first wife moved to Alaska when they were 19 right after they got married and stayed up there for five years. They came back down to the states because they miss their families but there’s not a day that goes by my husband doesn’t wish he was still there. They were in Fairbanks!
This summer in Alaska this year is a wet one. Glad yall got to go fishing. I can't believe how expensive it is now. I can remember 12 years ago we thought 150 a person was high.
Kenai local here. We get those warnings frequently. Everyone ignores them because they are never right. Someday, there will be a real problem because no one will evacuate when we should. It's a broken system that keeps getting money thrown at it, but doesn't get better. Also, Alaska RV parks are not truthful about their site sizes. We have a 40' DP (American Eagle), and run into that often but mostly just boondock ourselves. Fun seeing you guys were at Diamond M, that's a great family. Actually less than a mile from our house, but we were up on the Denali hwy when you guys were down here it looks like. Always fun seeing your backyard featured on people's channels though. Hope you guys enjoyed Alaska.
This is very funny and sad because we were there at the exact same time as you guys and suffered through the same tsunami warning we were just down the street at Ocean Shores RV park When our phones went off, we weren’t sure exactly what to do but when the sirens went off shortly there after we grabbed our two cats jumped in our car and also went to higher ground Would like to have met you too love watching your videos. Keep on going.
You’all look like your having an amazing time along the coastline in Alaska! Not so sure about the wet weather conditions. I prefer the Alaska coastline from a cruise ship view, just outstanding views looking towards landscapes and glaciers. Hope you’all have recovered from your trip by now, since you spent your time there in mid July. Take Care cause we still follow your journey in the RV life! ❤
I'm so glad that you didn't get hit by a tsunami! The longest time we've spent boondocking in our rv was a little over a week after we were hit by hurricane Ida in Louisiana. We actually didn't mind it too much.We live in the country so we kinda camp all the time. We were without power for two weeks after hurricane Katrina. We didn't have an RV when Katrina hit. Katrina was not fun. Anyway thanks for sharing another great Hanks adventure!
PHX AZ, been to Anchorage from Seattle to see if we wanted to move there in winter, nope got light at 10 am dark at 1;30 pm, went to Juneau and Douglas Island, nope, came back to Seattle on Alaska Marine Highway , 3 days on the ferry, loved that, never moved to Alaska, live in Phoenix AZ, chose the desert lol!!
Wow, my wife and I were in Homer at the same time, but we were at a BnB, on the mountain about ,1,000 ft above the town. We heard the sirens go off around 11 pm. Quite the added excitement to the Homer leg of our trip!
Glad to see that you are enjoying the weather. It only rains when you want to have fun. Hopefully you had time to go to Seward a great place to visit. Will you be visiting the Napa Valley on your California journey?
Carl and NayNay are my favorite RV Life RUclipsrs. Keep doing what your doing!
Thank you, James! We appreciate all your love and support 😃
My hubby says the bird is an immature bald eagle we see a lot of them here on the Chesapeake Bay another great video love watching you all!
Your hubby is right, it is a young bald eagle. Also agree with you, another great video from “ The Hanks “!!
Yes - we were just watching and I said that’s a young eagle!! They get their coloring as they age; it was a young one
I guess that's what a bald eagle looks like before the Male Pattern Baldness kicks in.
Did anyone consider a juvie stellar's sea eagle? Ebird has a stellar's sighting in alaska in July.
Y’all’s camera angles and many many different shots are just amazing!! You guys are so entertaining Love your videos and stay safe!!🗻🌊 #ThanksHanks also thank you so much for adding the music you using the description! So helpful!
Thank you so much!
That is so scary. You totally did not over react. I am so glad you are okay. Just to give you some positive vibes, I am so glad I found your channel. I got the idea to sell my house and move into an RV full time a year ago and searched and searched for someone good to follow and finally found you 8 months ago.

So I'm nervous, but good nervous, and you have made me feel welcome like I can make this dream come true. Thank you so much for keeping it real and fantastic! Your videos are fun, funny, heart warming, educational, and so much more. I hope we meet some day!!!!
Thank you so much!
Great shot of that adolescent Bald Eagle! That time of year, the young eagles are newly fledged and can be such fun to watch. Glad you got to see them.
YES, WILDERNESS VIDEO
Love the videos, Hanks! Full time RV’er and travel nurse. Weather alerts on the phone are great-I always have my NOAA Weather Radio set to alert. Cannot recommend enough!
Thanks for sharing!
That was a juvenile bald eagle. I love eagles. Great episode ❤
I actually really enjoyed seeing Renee in nurse emergency mode. Id listen to her.
Looks like the unknown bird might be an immature bald eagle.
Well, it looks like you folks had quite the stop at Anchor Point. Kyllonen's is a great campground but yeah its tight. We just had spots 9&10 a couple weeks ago and it was all I had to back my travel trailer into spot 10, its 32 foot bumper to ball. Even with my extra short short bed Silverado I had to wiggle into the spot. But once in, the hosts were great and took care of us. We brought our ATV's and did the epic ride from Anchor Point to Homer on the beach. Not to brag, it was 4 days of sun and blue skies while we were there... perfect ATV riding weather.
So the bird and what is it. Its a juvenile bald eagle. They start out more what you saw, good camouflage for young birds then as they mature the white head and tail come in and the solid dark body colors take over.
The tsunami alert! I was camping in Cooper Landing at Cooper Creek South Campground at that time when that tsunami alert went off on both of my phones. Nothing like being in bed winding down streaming a little TV and all the phones which were on silent go off! I read the alert, worked the geography and looked at Coco the RV Adventure Cat, she said we were fine, I agreed and turned off the TV. If the Tsunami came that far, the mountains would become islands...
Its always fun watching people do travel shows of my home state. Sorry about all of that rain. Its been a wetter than usual summer. Usually June and July are pretty dry, but that also means a good potential for forest fires and the Kenai Peninsula needed a little vacation from those. You probably noticed the burned trees between Cooper Landing and Sterling...
Any ways, just wanted to chime in about Anchor Point and we'll always have Tsunami... 😅
Great video guys I appreciate all your contact and I enjoy watching it.
I just thought I would pass this on to you guys. I have a 2019 Chevrolet 3500 diesel truck just like yours. I had to get new tires for my truck and I looked around at a lot of different brands of tires. I had the old trans with severe winter rating and I wasn’t really happy with them when it comes to off-road conditions and traction on and off road. I was told by some friends that pulling trailers to on and off road. And they told me about Toyo open country R/T-Trail Tire. It is a new tire and it’s only been out for a year. And it’s has a different construction them up Toyo open country R/T rugged terrain. It was developed and engineered and designed for over Landers. It’s a Record Tire aggressive traction, along with having a strong carcass. The sidewall isn’t a three play sidewall like you would have honey regular RT tire measuring tire. The Toyo open country R/T Trail has a normal to play sidewall but it’s extra thick. So you get the extra aggressiveness of a maturing tire and durability of him a train tire without the Steph ride of a mud terrain tire. This tire was designed to spend as much time off road as it does on road. So after hearing all this information, I decided to go ahead and try it and I bought a set of four for my truck. And I will tell you they look fantastic in the handle really nice. They are just a little bit noisier than an all-terrain tire but not bad. The traction on North Road is amazing and the tire handles very nice on road as well. Antonio also boxes tire up with a 45,000 mile treadwear warranty. And a 45 day 500 Miles customer satisfaction warranty. If you’re not happy with this tire at all within that. You can bring it back for a full refund. And I will tell you this tire may not last as long as the ones that are on your truck, but the extra traction in my opinion is well worth it. And I’ve also had this tire out in heavy rain with my truck and it handles flawlessly. It even handles in my opinion better than the all-terrain with a severe winter weather rating on it. Great traction on wet roads and zero hydroplaning.
Also, glad you guys are safe and shared the experience with everyone. I wouldn't have known how to react either.
We were dumping with the Hanks again. That's such a special time for us is timers. It's the little things in life that bring happiness. Thanks Kyle.
Thank you Hanks for your videos. I’m from Homer,AK and miss it so much! My family moved from AK to TN in 1993. I cried seeing all the beautiful footage you took, you don’t know how much it means to me to see home again. Don’t forget to look at the volcano Mt. Redoubt between Anchor Point and Homer.

Always better to be on the safe side. You all did great!
Glad you guys were safe! It's sketchy when you got your rig and not too familiar with the area. Safe travels!
Very true!
So glad you guys are OK. And little Dexter… He is such a chill, little love bug. I've never had a cat so wonderful and calm. Lol
Better to be safe! Good call!
Looks like a young bald eagle or a young golden eagle. Glad you are having fun. Old Chief
Exciting and scary all wrapped up into one night. Glad it all worked out. The best part was seeing all the smiling faces after your fishing trip..So much adventure, so little time. Love seeing you both in real time. Showing the worst and the best of your trips.

I can't get over how chill Dexter is in the car on your lap!!

Grateful your safe. Never a dull moment. Enjoy the adventure. That was a beautiful juvenile bald eagle.
So glad your safe. Your fur baby Dexter is lucky he has you to take care of him. ❤😅
Sorry about the tsunami scare. Your smart to be proactive. We're used to them, so don't feel bad. ❤
That is a juvenile bald eagle
Agreed, that's a juvenile Bald Eagle.
We loved Homer, but we stayed at one of the campgrounds on the spit. It was so awesome to walk all around that area! It was the last stop of our 15 days in Alaska.

Baby eagle and moose. So cool.
Had me on the edge of my seat with that tsunami warning. Glad your all ok
So thankful you all are safe! Great video!!! 😮💙🩷🫎🎣🎉😊
Thanks so much
So adventurous! ❤ it 😊
Luv the fish and wild life shots :) Dexter looked a tad put out LOL
Glad you are alright.
Great video! The halibut fishing trip looked awesome and the scare with the tsunami warning was definitely frightening. Safe travels guys!
I love your humor keep it going
Awesome stuff. Love the shot of the young bald eagle! Kalyn and I had the same "What in the world is that" reaction when we saw an immature bald eagle on our neighbors roof in Florida. (way back when we did that whole "sticks and bricks" thing.)
Howdy Hanks! Love your honesty and being upfront. We’re planning an Alaska trip in 2025. We’re not doing the BC route but we’re going. Thanks for everything!
The eagle is just an immature eagle. They don't get their adult feathers that give them the distinct white head and tail until their 5th year. Love watching your adventures.
Glad you wildcats are staying safe! #HanksRule
You two are so entertaining! My wife an I live full time, yes year round, in our Solitude in Cooper Landing Alaska which you have driven through on your way to Kenai and Homer. We are the caretakers of the Cooper Landing Community Center. We would love to have you stop by! You can't miss us!
That is awesome!
Carl-you are hilarious!! Nana you have a lot to “put up with”. Lol. Enjoyed this video!!
Wow, those Moose were so close. Great fun fishing. Just saying having fun for the "Halibut "!!! So glad no real eminent danger.
Glad you guys w/ Dex are safe! That is super scary! But you guys remaining calm, cool, and collected definitely is a plus. I probably wouldn't have been,... actually I know I wouldn't have been. Hopefully you guys were able to go back to bed and get some rest after that adrenaline rush!
Love your channel and videos!
Thank you so much!
Oh, and I forgot to add I'll get you on a float trip down the Kenai River free of charge as you guys are celebrities! (right?)
My favorite part of the episode is when Soli was being towed by the fishing boat. Thanks Hanks for the laughs.
Glad you enjoyed it
I just subscribed. I have watched a few of your videos and you guys make this look fun.
Welcome to our channel! Thanks for joining the Hanks 🤗
I’m late to the video… but I believe the bird is a juvenile Bald Eagle. I’m really Loving your Alaska and Canada road-trip series!! Thank you and safe travels!!
You did the right thing. Had some friends who were camping in the texas hill country next to a river and at 11:00 at night camp director came pulling it honking his horn and had yelling “get out get out don’t look back get in your vehicle and get out and they were literally driving through water as they left and watched as all the RVs were swept down the river. True story
😮
I'm so thankful you're safe..whew
Oh wow! That would be so scary!! Glad y’all are safe!! I think NeyNey got the award for the biggest fish! Great job NeyNey!! Happy Camping and Safe Travels! 🙏🏻❤️
Was that giveaway a scam ?
@@markarrants9499 probably
I grew up in Alaska and we had a pop up camper. Been everywhere and fished without guides for free. Even as small children. Things must have changed. Free camping etc.
Rainy days and Mondays always bring me down
This was an amazing episode! Absolutely love your content! 🥰
Thank you so much!
Homer AK. Home of Jewel(singer). My parents lived there for a while after we lived in SE AK! 😁
What beautiful moose! Good thinking! You have to stay safe...
scary situation. Glad you guys are safe. Keep enjoying the journey
Thank you so much!
Grace under pressure.... your ER nurse skills were showing out. What you said about just getting out is all too often not observed. Glad you guys are safe!
Found it very interesting that they had to put the charter boat in with a CAT 🤔😯
#ThanksHanks for sharing your adventure with us!
So cool to see you two adventuring where I live. I sure wish I could have caught up with you while you were here! Could have helped you find all the adventures you could handle!
Next time!

Relieved to know you're safe. So much excitement, my heart can't take it lol.

You guys are so adorable together, I hope my wife and I have as much fun when we hit the road full time next year when I retire, oh did I mention we will be married 47 years, keep up the great videos, I have been to Alaska, it is a breath taking state.
Happy to see you are ok. Safe travels.
Oh my gosh Hanks! My family and I were staying just outside of Anchor Point in Whiskey Gulch that same day! Got the tsunami warning on our phones as well(terrifying!), but we were good well above the inlet on the bluff. The spit is amazing! Captain Patti’s! What a view! We took the family and the dogs down to Anchor River at the beach to beachcomb…I’ve never seen so many eagles in one place at one time! Fun times! Thanks for bringing us along!
Stay safe. ❤❤
You make smart decisions.
Yep. When I was in Homer a year ago, two different Tsunami warnings. So fun. 😢😅
Glad you’re safe.
Oh? Like an extra 20 lbs of halibut? 🤪
That Tsunami warning was scary, so glad you all eventually found the Alaska State patrol to help give you some good and reassuring information and all was well from that point. I think that Bird May have been a young pre mature adult Golden Eagle, I think I saw a special that said they change From young to mature adult. If not Golden Eagle then it's the Bald Eagle.
We were in Homer last June, staying at the Lands End Hotel at the end of the Homer Spit. We were doing laundry at the laundromat at the entrance to the spit when the Tsunami warning horn sounded. The owner said to get to high ground. We drove up to the high spot where the welcome to Homer sign was. We had the local radio station on and no warnings were sounding and the ocean looked calm. We went back to the laundromat and it was a false alarm. Someone had hit the warning. We thought it was interesting that very few people were heading out of town and the locals probably figured it out quickly.
So glad you are safe. All that spectacular mountain scenery comes with risk of earthquakes and tsunamis. I hope you enjoyed the remainder of your time in Alaska. It really is one of the most spectacular places to visit in North America.
I am so glad y'all are OK. Better to be safe than sorry. We were in a terrible July storm in South Dakota one year and our camper was totaled in a storm with golf ball sized hail and 65 mph straightline winds. Yes! We spent most of the night in the cinderblock bathhouse and left to go home the next day. ❤🙏Jane/SC safe travel and fair weather to y'all.
Oh my...heading to South Dakota soon... praying for good weather
😮
Glad you guys are safe!🙏 really liked your fishing that’s my favorite fish. again glad you guys are safe and Dexter to !
The imagery you’ve shared has been exquisite! I’ve always wanted to go to Alaska. My current husband and his first wife moved to Alaska when they were 19 right after they got married and stayed up there for five years. They came back down to the states because they miss their families but there’s not a day that goes by my husband doesn’t wish he was still there. They were in Fairbanks!
Hello Hanks, no matter what the weather, it sure looks like you had plenty of fun.
This summer in Alaska this year is a wet one. Glad yall got to go fishing. I can't believe how expensive it is now. I can remember 12 years ago we thought 150 a person was high.
My favorites too!
New here! My sister got me addicted and I’ve been watching so many of your older videos. Ant plans on hitting Vermont? So much to see up here.
Welcome to our channel! Thanks for joining the Hanks 🤗 We hope to visit the north eastern states next summer
You all have really gotten better with the production of these videos. It looks like you've learned a lot. Good work.
Thank you very much!
Kenai local here. We get those warnings frequently. Everyone ignores them because they are never right. Someday, there will be a real problem because no one will evacuate when we should. It's a broken system that keeps getting money thrown at it, but doesn't get better. Also, Alaska RV parks are not truthful about their site sizes. We have a 40' DP (American Eagle), and run into that often but mostly just boondock ourselves. Fun seeing you guys were at Diamond M, that's a great family. Actually less than a mile from our house, but we were up on the Denali hwy when you guys were down here it looks like. Always fun seeing your backyard featured on people's channels though. Hope you guys enjoyed Alaska.
This is very funny and sad because we were there at the exact same time as you guys and suffered through the same tsunami warning we were just down the street at Ocean Shores RV park
When our phones went off, we weren’t sure exactly what to do but when the sirens went off shortly there after we grabbed our two cats jumped in our car and also went to higher ground
Would like to have met you too love watching your videos. Keep on going.
Wow! Just wow! Loved the video, and all the moose!
You’all look like your having an amazing time along the coastline in Alaska! Not so sure about the wet weather conditions. I prefer the Alaska coastline from a cruise ship view, just outstanding views looking towards landscapes and glaciers. Hope you’all have recovered from your trip by now, since you spent your time there in mid July. Take Care cause we still follow your journey in the RV life! ❤
Amazing pix and content!!
I thoroughly enjoy you both so much!! We watch a lot of travel RUclipsrs and you two are one of my favorites!! Love the humor!!
Thank you so much!
I'm so glad that you didn't get hit by a tsunami! The longest time we've spent boondocking in our rv was a little over a week after we were hit by hurricane Ida in Louisiana. We actually didn't mind it too much.We live in the country so we kinda camp all the time. We were without power for two weeks after hurricane Katrina. We didn't have an RV when Katrina hit. Katrina was not fun. Anyway thanks for sharing another great Hanks adventure!
😮
PHX AZ, been to Anchorage from Seattle to see if we wanted to move there in winter, nope got light at 10 am dark at 1;30 pm, went to Juneau and Douglas Island, nope, came back to Seattle on Alaska Marine Highway , 3 days on the ferry, loved that, never moved to Alaska, live in Phoenix AZ, chose the desert lol!!
Wow, my wife and I were in Homer at the same time, but we were at a BnB, on the mountain about ,1,000 ft above the town. We heard the sirens go off around 11 pm. Quite the added excitement to the Homer leg of our trip!
Glad to see that you are enjoying the weather. It only rains when you want to have fun. Hopefully you had time to go to Seward a great place to visit. Will you be visiting the Napa Valley on your California journey?
Not sure! Have done Napa Valley a few times before
