No he's not buzzed. Just tired from staying up hoping it would clear out enough to get video of the Aurora Borealis

Been waiting to see this video from Alaska. So glad your having so much fun. Keep doing what your doing. Glad you are feeling so much better.

You're an EXCELLENT tour guide. Thanks for showing me Alaska!

Great to see you out doing this Shoestring. Journey on!

Shoestring you are a legend. I love watching your videos. May God keep you safe and healthy

We have been to Cordova, an awesome place. The ferry ride there was fine, however, the return trip to Valdez at night during a big storm was insane. Very, very rough water for the entire 6-7 hour trip. Talk about 'sea legs' on land!! Broke my wrist while out travelling in a small town few years ago, chose an ambulance to nearest hospital and was given some fentynal for pain. When it kicked in, I talked to EMT about the crazy ride in gulf of Alaska! The Ferry cabinet doors were flapping back and forth, and swaying from one side to another for hours. Glad it was nighttime or definetly would have freaked out at seeing the waves. Haha

Hey Shoestring: Hope you are having a great time in Alaska and can't wait to see you riding the trains of Alaska if it's possible. Take Care and stay safe warm and dry up there North in Alaska. 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️🇺🇲🇺🇸💨

Just had a chance to catch your Cordova ferry ride video and appreciate you taking the time to put that out there. Definitely a cool trip!

Ice cold, nice old Alaska, watching this just makes my day shoestring (along with a good hot cup of coffee😊)

I love these ferry videos! Never been to Alaska but would love to get up there and catch one of these ferries and hangout seeing the sights!

Thank you, soooooo much, ShoeString!!! Now I know why Bob Ross painted all those beautiful happy mountains. You're the best, ShoeString! God bless and God speed, Sir! 🎉 ❤ 😊

Glad to see your having a good time Mark. ===Drifter===

Every time I see a train rolling by, I am constantly looking for you or just anyone so I can wave some support.

❤❤ Stay Safe and Sound, Shoestring !!! 👍👍

I can only like this video once… but I wish I could like it twice how much I absolutely loved it!!!

We need a bumper sticker that says "HEY U SEEN SHOESTRING?"

I realize how beautiful our planet is. Congratulations for the wonderful video. Unfortunately, I will never have the opportunity to see these places up close because I live on the other side of the planet. In GREECE. God bless you always for giving us such videos

and I must say,excellent video,as always, but...thee best by far,beautiful shoestring!! ..thanku sir string!!.. phil..

Go for the GOLD Shoestring!! Hope you find a pan full!! Stay warm enough there. It looks bone chilling COLD. You're sure showing us Alaska as breathtakingly beautiful!! Don't step on any Bigfoots!! Loving your Hobo adventure videos. Thanks!!🥰

Nice video Shoestring. I love ferries! I definitely gotta check out this Alaskan one for sure. You mentioned NFLD a few times now. I did that trek twice. Once in November and once in March some years back. It was choppy waters to say the least. Then had to drive a truck for 900kms to St John's in misty foggy weather. I was a zombie when I arrived...lol But the awesome seafood dinners woke me right up. Alaska seems like a similar surreal dream place. Now I know why you've gone there 33 times..

What beautiful scenery... Saw the snow tip mountains meet the sea in the air when departed from anchorage headed to southeast asia in 1969

Maybe a silly correction, but generally what's on the mountains at Turnagain Arm are Mountain Goats. The Dall Sheep are further north on the way to Denali. When I was a Tour Guide on the AK railroad we always would let people know they were Mountain Goats. Easier to tell through binoculars

This video is wonderful! It's like going to Alaska with a very knowledgeable tour guide. Stobe did some good videos but yours are the best. Thank you!

Best part of this is I know you’re at your “happy hunting grounds”. Your favorite area and it shows on your face.

STEADY GROOVIN ON EM BABY! STEADY GROOVIN!!!!

That looks like fun! Kinda cold though! Glad you made it back to Alaska.

It's so good for my own mental health to see you back in the saddle and doing what you love most. Keep on keeping on Shoestring.

just like so many others have stated... glad to see you having fun... thumbs up Shoestring!!!

All my life, I've never liked drinking root beer. The other day, I got an ice cold Barqs root beer, and I loved it. Don't know how or why, but it just clicked all of a sudden in my 30s. That rats name in TMNT is Splinter. I was really into TMNT! Go ninja, go ninja, go! 😂

Thanks shoestring for the view of alaska

It's so beautiful Shoestring! Luv&peace Bro! to the rails of the Nort! Hope the weather warms a bit bro! But know you got it covered! Cheers to the great adventures to come!

Hello Shoestring, around 48 minutes in. I was thinking that little island was perfect... and you say a canoe or kayak would be just what I need to go there. Campfire on the beach and survive off the land and water around you.❤❤❤❤

I probably shouldn't tell Shoestring and you all this story but it was in 1982 and I don't really care anymore. Three of us were taking a shitload of western Washington pot up to Sitka and because of the roughest crossing of the Queen Ann Straights in the Ferry system's history and damage to the Matanuska Ferry we took the Aurora to Sitka from Ketchikan a few days later. On the Aurora we stepped outside for a pre dinner joint or two and were having a good ole time when over the loud speaker we heard "would the 3 gentlemen smoking marijuana in front of the kitchen air intake fan please step aside?' Oh Shit! Of course we did and finished our business. But when we got to the cafeteria, the kitchen crew started clapping and laughing and thanked us for the free token buzz we gave them.

Thank you so much for sharing the beautiful view and your life travels

String, in the navy we called it the mess deck

Sure is a beautiful place! Thank you for taking us along!

My uncle(from ireland)used to work on fishing boat in alaska, he just started a new contract maybe about a month before the exon valdez sank, so my uncles contract go payed off for the rest of what was left and he went working on the clean up, he made a nice lump of money:)

Thanks for taking us along.

Awesome video Shoestring! Beautiful there! Great to see you out enjoying yourself up there! Thanks for sharing the beauty of Alaska with us!

Sounds like a good time have fun and be safe, God bless

Alaska in all its splendor and glory, the ARR and a nice ride on the ferry, hope the rest of Your trip is as good and maybe We can see an ARR freight, take care and good luck panning for gold,I've seen the ARR replace rail in the Whittier tunnel on that Alaska Railroad show!🛤🚂

Love Hobo's Alaska... I can feel his excitement. It's great stuff.Here in Alaska... Who's Cold???

Cold and snowy according to weather radar. Safe travels!😁

Thanks 🙏 Shoestring for amazing content

That is amazing. I don't get to go on adventures. Thank you for sharing yours.

Always wanted to go to Alaska thanks shoestring

Thanks again for taking the time to make a great video 👍👍🥓

Hey Mark, offer still stands for my little cabin out behind my house in Wasilla… safe travels buddy

thanks for an amazing video and a fantastic trip on the ferry and thank you for filming the whole of the inside of that tunnel enjoyed that shoestringlooking forward to next video.

Cool video. You might want to make different plans other than goldpanning here in Fairbanks. We're having a late spring and everything is still under thigh deep snow and thick ice.

😮wow thanks a lot shoestring this video was one of your best video yes seen the dall sheep 🐏

7:08 PM 4-28 -23 looks like a lot good stuff to do and eat on that ferry Hobo Shoestring. Thanks for the show From New York

Amazing footage, Shoestring!

Awesome trip so far glad to Whittier

Have fished twice with Saltwater Excursions twice out of Whittier. They're fine folk's and I reccomend them highly. This year were fishing out of Pelican, Alaska first 2 week's in August. Everybody needs to spend a couple weeks in Alaska ( out in Alaska) every year. EDIT: random fact, the minimum wage in Whittier is $15.51 per hour. The folk's who cleaned and packed our fish for carry or shipping charged $35 per hour or .60 cents a minute.

Such a beautiful place!!!

Voles are small rodents that are relatives of lemmings and hamsters, but with a stouter body; a longer, hairy tail; a slightly rounder head; smaller eyes and ears; and differently formed molars. They are sometimes known as meadow mice or field mice in North America.
