I really enjoyed hearing Ariel talk about enjoying the peace she finds when she is alone in such a beautiful place. She describes her experience so earnestly.

As an older person i appreciate the energy and endurance younger bodies are capable of. So glad watching this beauty on a warm soft couch 😊

Yes, people were actually created to experience living in nature. It's quite unnatural to live away from it. For people who always seem to be stressed out, it's good to spend a day alone, fishing or something... to be near some water, to relax, and take in all of the beauty and tranquility. It's healthy.

I live in a big east coast city, working a big, hectic job. Camping and spending time in the mountains is my passion. The quietness and vastness of waking in the wilderness makes me feel complete. Somehow everything makes sense when that silence settles in.

Ariel. Way way back in 1975, I experienced the same feeling you had here. And it was profound. I was in the mountains of Colorado with my dog Jess. I had the opportunity to listen to complete silence, breathe in the scent of the woods, witness the brightest stars I’ve ever seen or ever will see. And I communed with something more powerful than me. And to this day (I’ll be 70), I’ve never really had such a powerful realization of my being and the beauty of what the world should be like than that few days when I was young. Thank you, darling lady, for your lovely insight. My favorite video to date. ❤️❤️

Wow, you two are hard core! Your devotion to your pups yet not letting them keep you from hunting is really admirable. It's stunning out there... Glad you enjoyed yourselves.

Best part of the week when you’re videos are posted thanks for sharing your story

@@richardfrank9317 Wha? Of course they do and if you do know a thing or two about hunting you'll know that people don't follow rules and they do cut corners FAR more often than they should. Whether it's out-of-season kills, or hedging when they put their tag on an animal, or road shoots, or a bit after sunset a shot leaves the barrel, or they see sign and they don't track the animal because they're lazy low-integrity hunters or cutting across some private acreage you don't have permission to be on in the back country but it makes your hike shorter etc etc etc. There's a reason that game wardens are the most dangerous law enforcement job in the USA. So before you condemn that person for giving them a compliment you should step back a bit and be honest that the community can do far better. And, if you're unfamiliar with any of those things on the short-list I provided than you have no real experience in this domain. I have too many stories to tell in which people did anything BUT what was "the right thing".

For a minute, after Eric downed his bird, I thought the air was filled with insects, but it was SNOW!!!! You guys all have fun!

I am so impressed at the evolution of your cinematography and music choices over the last few years. Your “Fall” opening was just magnificent! What a gift to be able to experience everything you do, and such an immense joy that you choose to share those experiences with us!!! Thank you for taking us along on yet another adventure. 😊

Man, you guys are living the life. Hunting and cooking your own food in Alaska. Self-sufficient. Beautiful mountains. The perfect life. When the economy fully breaks down, you both should be in a really good position for providing for yourselves. Your food always looks so amazing :)

Last winter was a lot of fish. I was hoping you could fill the freezer with bear or moose. Hope you still have more opportunity to fill the freezer for the winter. Breathtaking scenery on your trip, but super rough having to wake up so often to feed the stove. Thanks for taking us along.

Eric and Arielle, Thank You so much for taking us along with you on your camping/hunting trip! It's sucks that you didn't get any game! It was amazing to see the snow! ❄️❄️ I LOVE when you cook.... I can almost smell the goodness of the food you are cooking! I can't wait to see what you 2 have planned to do next! It's always a fun adventure! Until then~~~ Stay safe, healthy, warm and happy!! ❄️🌞❄️

It doesn’t matter how tough things get, you two have such great attitudes. What a great example of great encouragement to each other. So glad you took us along .

Beautiful scenery. I used to go hunting with my Dad just for the hiking.

You guys take the most amazing pictures and videos of Alaska.

Thank you for bringing us along on your journey. Your videos capture the splendor of the scenery, the challenges of the weather, vehicle, and hunting, and the excitement of another adventure. Thank you.

Wow! It's mindblowing for me as an european ..all your efforts with preparing this trip..with sleeping in a tent, hunting, collecting berries, cooking, your 2 dogs...and filming & editing! And so cold with snow😮. Thank you so much for taking us along. My biggest appreciation from Italy. Here we get still some sunny warm days where it is possible to take a short swim in the lake infront of our door. ❤❤

Great to see a new video from you and seeing the magnificent countryside of Alaska and the beautiful scenery as well as the wildlife in Alaska, take care and have a great week Thank You. 🤠👍🇺🇲🏕️⛺🏕️

You can almost hear her breath as the seasons change. Thank you both so much for sharing your experience as many will never get this change to appreciate how awesome both our countries are. 🇨🇦🇺🇸🥰

Just wow! Thank you for taking us along on your camping/hunting adventure. The views you gave us were spectacular! Hated you all weren't able to harvest a moose, bear, etc... but man the experiences you all had were amazing. Great video!

👍🏼...just for the opening cinematography.

I miss all that. Lived there for 19 years. Thanks for showing it to us. :)

Beautiful scenery again! Alaska sure is spectaculair. I think it’s one of God’s masterpieces. As you said Ariel, there are no words for such marvelous things as the pure quietness, the beauty that we can not understand with our simple minds. It’s THAT greatness that we have been given from our marvelous Creator!

🕊️🙏🏼🙌🏽🎶What a beautiful emotional trip… watching as a mom, I felt concerned for you and thought it was way too cold, but after hearing Ariel describe how she felt about everything she saw and was experiencing, I could see that this was a very emotional & spiritual experience for her, and then I could see both of your excitement and determination! It was a really a beautiful video! I’m just really glad y’all made it home safely! I do pray yall get your moose or caribou this year! God bless you two! Y’all did an amazing job filming and editing this video! I felt like I was right there with you!❤

The scenery there is so beautiful. The camera work Ariel does is amazing. It’s wonderful that y’all have such a great relationship that you both enjoy doing so much of the same things. Y’all are so lucky to live there to be able to enjoy the things y’all do. Good luck with hunting. My dream is to one day be able to come there to see the northern lights. That is so amazing to me.

Oh, my goodness, friends!!! Incredible. I live “in nature” in Oklahoma on acreage, but that’s amazing. My wandering spirit wants to experience this beauty first hand. Great video, like always. 🥳

Oh my god, that is god’s country. So beautiful. I hope to be able to visit mountain passes like that in Alaska one day. Long way away in Australia 🫶🏼

Thank you so much for sharing your camping/hunting adventures. Having lived in Alaska for almost 25 years, your experiences remind us of ours. We camped and hunted Canadian geese on the North Slope, shot ptarmigan on the way and made a stew from it. And you are so right about the quiet out there. So wonderful. Hope you have many more wonderful adventures in Alaska.😊

It is amazing to see the landscape that Alaska has to offer. You always take us on an adventure and even though the weather is cold and snowy you are not giving up the hunt . I’m sure you are both exhausted from all the hikes you both did. Until your next video,take care and be safe. (Judy NB)🌲🇨🇦
