When you were loading up this video, you were probably thinking, 'Some jerk is going to say he has Verizon and got through to AT&T at the Lion's Head Trail.' Well, um... I'm that jerk! But I had totally different weather when I did it back on July 11, so maybe the cell reception was affected. It was really overcast, and I was rained on coming back down the trail (yep, serves me right :) ). But the sunny weather you had for Lion's Head was what I had for Pepper Peak, which is definitely a trail to be done when you first get to Alaska, not after lots of intense hiking, so I think your instincts served you well there. My legs were fresh for Pepper Peak, and they needed to be, especially when you're staring at another 1500 feet elevation gain with a mile to go. I love all the footage on the drive to Valdez! Everything about driving around that whole Glenallen to Chitina corridor along the Richardson Highway is magical. I went by that Ahtna HQ a number of times. I didn't go south of Chitina / McCarthy Road, so I'm looking forward to what you discover next!

Ah ok. We were trying to look back at it when we were driving away and thought mayyybe we could see it, but still weren't sure. Ya we had to try to call a couple times and almost gave up on it and thought we were going to have to skip it. Thankfully the phone rang! We were a little bummed on that drive when there was so much cloud cover, but that's how it goes! We wished we could've visited Eklutna and shared it more, but just didn't have time. We're glad we could at least highlight it a bit. Yes, we went to McCarthy and Wrangell-St. Elias. Polishing off that video edit this weekend!

@@AdventuresofAplusK You can see a beautiful view of Mt. Drum just above the highway with 12k ft of prominence about 20 miles heading east towards Glennallen on a clear day. It's beautiful and quite the sight. Yay for the McCarthy video. Excited to see it. I also just noticed that you haven't been north to Delta Junction, stopped at the roadhouses, Fairbanks, Chena Hot Springs, Arctic Circle, Atigun Pass, Prudhoe Bay, the Denali Highway, or Top of the World Highway. This state is HUGE and that's just the road system. Unfortunately western Alaska is being ravaged by hurricane-like winds and flooding right now and under a state of emergency. Many in these Alaska Native communities have lost their houses and boats (livelihood) as they are sheltering in schools. It's only accessible by air.

We would've loved to have seen it! I don't think we were able to that day. We did go to Delta Junction at one point in our journey, but weren't vlogging that day. We weren't able to visit some of those areas you mentioned due to lack of time. COVID took some of our time unfortunately. Actually our first adventure in the state was the Denali Highway and we had planned to make a video about it, but we were having a rough day and it was foggy and smoky and didn't think it would be a very good video so we ended up cutting it. We did one hike off the highway and will share it in our Alaska recap video in a few weeks. Stay tuned for the Top of the World Highway and Arctic Circle (but in Canada). Yes we're thinking about Western Alaska and hope there is a quick recovery!

I'm so pleased you guys bought another kayak. I know you didn't get much use out of that first one IP kayak version 1.0, but knowing how many times this one has been used, and in such stunning surroundings, kayak version 2.0 seems to have treated you both very well. I couldn't help but laugh at the AT&T / Verizon situation. I feel like when AT&T create advertisements that can hit specific target audiences (e.g. like an advert that would be shown before one of your videos) they should throw it in as a perk 'come to our network and perks are that you have access to even more hiking trails' 🤣 Such a shame about the steak, especially as it's more pricey than the chicken. My other half had commented saying you must have a huge fridge to see you through the days you'd have likely been without facilities to stock up and I couldn't quite remember, did you guys get an extra cool box for Alaska to go under the bed, or did I make this up?

We've been using the kayak a ton lately! haha that would be a huge perk for us! AT&T hiking trails! 😂 Our fridge struggles to keep temperature sometimes and it can be frustrating. It's about the size of a mini fridge (or actually probably the size of fridges in Europe!, but mini by American standards). We did buy a plastic bin to keep snacks and other dry goods and it stays out of the way under the bed

@Adventures of A+K Ah, it's probably the plastic bin that got me muddled. We call them 'American Fridge Freezers' in the UK and that was one of my little life goals to have one! We got our kitchen renovated in 2018 and had one put in and it's amazing!!! The luxury of ice at the push of a button or chilled, filtered water! I feel so old getting excited over these things, but you guys made a great invention. But that said, I'd give it up and take your mini fridge every time if it meant I could full time travel like you both! 🙌

Hi What is the clip called where you hang your camera on
