Yay for Avalon...she is a trooper for sure

Hello Joas and family, the scenic views are absolutely gorgeous, the sunset, the changing color of the leaves, the tranquility of the river, the mountains the animals awesome ,good shot David, wow beautiful sunset, the moon and Northern lights magnificent,sorry you didn't get another caribou next time stay safe

I'm impressed that Avalon was willing to go on a hunt. Most her age are more concerned about their " friends " and what their friends think about them & do they have a phone they can stare at for hours on end. Good job Avalon.

I throughly look forward to enjoying your families adventures each Friday! What a wonderful blessing you each are! Thanks for sharing each week!

Thank you so much!

Hunting for survival is a.great skill. Killing for enjoyment is a far different matter. Love Alaska.

Avalon finding that large rack was truly inspiring. What a great find indeed! I can visualize it as part of a beautiful chandelier. So wonderful to see a young girl in participation of this hunt. She will come to appreciate and understand boys' in their layton quest to be what they precieve to be that what girls' want and love about boys'. Your videos are truly inspiring. Keep doing what you know to be what your viewers love to see and hear.

What a special time, was very impressed how your daughter handled every part of the experience always with a beautiful smile, blessed time, and awesome to watch.

What an adventure!! You guys sure gave it your all!! Real troopers!!

You guys are determined and gave it your all! So Glad Avalon got to join in on this Hunt, great effort to all of you! Thanks for taking us along on the beautiful Alaska tundra! God bless your family! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼

We are finding ourselves moving towards uncertain times. Hunting may be a necessary skill that we all should hope to have. I grew up in a house full of hunters. My dad supplied many meals with his hunting and fishing skills. I am so thankful for that. I wish my husband would have known this we may have been able to feed our four children better through the growing up years. Life was not easy for us back then. What I see here are parents who pass down traditions, skills, crafts and trades. These children will know how to be self sufficient in the times that are coming upon this earth. I see alot of people scrambling to learn homesteading ways while they can. Joas, you and Priscilla have incorporated all these things into your children's lives as just part of everyday living. And you did it all while just simply having fun and enjoying family time. It's been a pleasure watching you raise your family in part. I have so much respect for you both. ❤

Loving Avalon. She has the skills of both her parents. She can keep up with the bros.

He is a beautiful caribou. What wonderful meat to fill the freezer. and the hide will provide wonderful warmth. I have always been enthralled with the northern lights. Only God our Creator could have designed all of this beauty.

When my children were young we fed them deer and raised our own meat, now we buy buffalo from our neighbour who raises them. It is good for children to know where their food comes from. Yeah Avalon, you are a tough cookie! Great video God Bless

Great video,wish you could have gotten a caribou but next time !You certainly get your exercise! Avalon must have enjoyed the trip as she always wears a beautiful smile. Thanks for sharing ❤Barb

Appreciate you showing the northern lights dance! That means more than you know.

That was quite the hike/adventure hunting trip! I was relieved when you said you were heading toward the truck. Endurance was put to the test and Ramen noodles saved the day!

I and my husband hunt for animals to feed our children and Grandchildren... I also store up wild game meat because it's healthier for our bodies and The Good Lord provides us with it to use.... just like the herbs that he has grew for us as well..... God is good..... God bless y'all 😊

You guys have hiked into some amazingly, beautiful places. Thank you for taking us along. I live in the Calif desert so, I so enjoy that you go the extra mile to share with us!

Wow, that looks like a rough hike! What a great way to spend time with your children. God bless you all.

..this is so GREAT! A wonderful daddy taking these soon to be independent young men, and beautiful young Avalon,.....it would have been so nice to have been able to get that big, beautiful buck... I'm surprised you guys ran out of food...your last meal of caribou back frying in a pan was yummy looking...fabulous views and scenery; from our Great God; original artist of our world.

We grew up respecting the hunt as a means to provide for our families. Unfortunately, Caribou got over hunted in Labrador, and very strict restrictions were placed to protect the remaining George River Herd. The tundra and wildlife are so similar. However, your mountains are higher. That was very tricky for the oil truck driver. I have been on roads like that in the past. Not fun! I am so glad Avalon got to go for her first hunt. You did awesome, dear. You did get some awesome pics. They could be enlarged and framed and sold if you want. Those hikes can be killers at times, but they do help build your endurance. You didn't get your caribou, but you all got all of those precious memories that are priceless. Blessings to you all.❤

An awesome hunt that you all shared in this video. Walking through tundra is difficult and the miles you all had to cover really affects your ability to harvest the caribou. I must say that I miss Alaska so much and I am glad I recently found your channel with some great videos of your adventures there. I left in 2014 and miss living above the Arctic Circle. Have a blessed weekend and keep making your splendid videos.

I appreciated your quote about hunting. I could never kill an animal and cannot even watch an animal being killed. BUT I do eat meat and meat comes from animals. Animals are killed for meat. I simply close my eyes and do not watch this part of the video. Another wonderful video and the northern lights were beautiful! Avalon was a real trooper!

Avalon would never complain

Speaking of hunting.. In 1971, my husband was in the USAF, we got stationed at Elmendorf AFB. We both grew up as city kids in the Los Angeles area of California. Well, being we were now in the wilds of Alaska, my husband bought a shotgun, rifle, hand guns, ammunition loading machine, etc. The first hunt was rabbits, with the shotgun. We got 4 rabbits, and cooked them much as one would cook a stewed chicken making a nice gravy. When we were finished eating and I was transferring the gravy to a refrigerator storage container, I had all these little metal balls in the bottom of the pan! That was unexpected!

Lead shot has a peculiar taste for sure.

Its a good thing it cool where you are at, because the bugs would be eating you up in the spring and summer.

That countryside is beautiful. Alaska is one of the last unmolested planes of land that you can see that beautiful wildlife, beautiful fishing and everything else out there. That is awesome…😳🫡😊

How do you keep track of direction when you’re going so far from your base camp? I’d be afraid of getting lost!!!!

My youngest eats, sleeps, and breathes hunting. He is getting ready to go on the 30th to Northern Alberta trying for some 200"+ Whitetails. He will also hunt Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Missouri. What a great bonding time with your children. The semi-splatter looked like you got bombed by a bunch of birds. The Northern Lights never get old. Resting is good 👊 Are ATVs not allowed?

caribou meat is delicious and moose is too and of course elk!

The only problem with hunting on the North Slope with a rifle....you have to be 5 miles off of the Dalton Highway because of the pipeline. Its a workout....but I got numerous Caribou hiking west from Galbraith Lake and Toolik Lake years ago.

“It’s called hunting, not shopping” works better I think

Your story was beautiful for a perfect hunting trip. My though is that to many people hunt for fun. They have never shot a gun and aren’t able to hit the side of a barn. They think it’s cool to wound the animal- draw blood. So sad. I know many people that tell the story of how they got him, they follow the blood trail but couldn’t find the animal. So sad left to suffer It would be nice if people were serious like you

OMG, please don't shoot any bullets into that pipeline. We are paying upwards of $7.99.9/10th per gallon for gasoline here in Communisforina LOL. 😮
