I had to remove the prior version of this and re-upload it because the prior version had a corrupted ending to the video. This is the complete video thank you for watching and enjoy!

[@matthewcary6784]

Me thinks the homestead needs better wifi lol

[@Shonierose]

No problem for me, I'm happy to watch it again..with the ending this time.

[@polcat-om5ti]

It was a awesome video thru and thru 😊🎉❤

[@alancole1394]

All I can say is... SuperThanks 4Sharing me your videos

[@chrisjackson2345]

glad to see your family doing good and doing it on your own. We missed you people!

There are a Lot of Very Interesting You- Tube Channels but your Channel is a Top Favorite of mine and it’s Quickly becoming a Huge Favorite for Kilcher Fans. 👍🙏

[@davidbingham7404]

Elven and Eve it's a great joy just watching you. Love the video. Glad you were able to get a bear. David B.,Utah. 🐻❤❤❤.

[@pamelamann5104]

So great to see you and your family again! Been a huge fan for years ! Your kids are amazing and so is Eve! Thank you for sharing your adventures! Love watching your you tube videos!

[@SpatialDragon]

You have no idea how happy I am to be able to watch your family again. I wish your Dad was on here, but I actually found his channel and from there I found you. You have some real skill as a cameraman along with everything else. Keep posting and I will keep watching the ads. I wish I could do more, but I am broke.

[@ERone43]

This was a GREAT video! Its so nice to see Kilcher action in a more linear format- without all the “recaps” that the show used to have. It used to feel like you were watching 20 minutes of content spread out over an hour. That didn’t stop me from watching every episode 5 times each (at least). But yeah this new KZbin format is ideal for your exploits. I think its time for you to upgrade to some of those super kool dji microphones or the like. As a former youtuber I know how much effort it takes to record as complete of a documentary as you do, so THANK YOU for all the hard work you put in. The reason why yall Kilchers make such great TV/Video/YT is because everyone enjoys watching nice genuine sincere people doing kool Alaska stuff. If nasty modern reality TV is the disease then you guys are the cure. Its also great to see your kids growing up (fast) with so much love and enrichment. Anyhow THANKS again for a very kool video! L&R from N.California ♥️🇺🇸♥️🌎

[@annalinekennedy1027]

Very awesome video. When you people are old you will have so many amazing memories. Such a wonderful place in the world.

[@julieanncarlson2118]

SO GLAD TO SEE THE KILCHERS BACK!!! I LOVE THE WHOLE FAMILYS EVERYONES SPIRIT PTL- GOD BESS ALL

[@lorrainestafford3809]

Love your boat I can't imagine having stuff in the bottom of it and then you just air it up that's cool thanks for the share😊

[@user-uh3pb9ri8j]

That place is so beautiful. Its nice here in the mountains of western North Carolina but Alaska is by far the most beautiful place on earth. Thanks for the adventure.

[@bennbenn5698]

Thank you

[@colinredden7225]

Hi eiven, watched all shows on discovery. Good to see you back as your "life in Alaska" videos are interesting and entertaining. All the best too you Eve and your family. Best wishes from Scotland. Colin

[@TheIHCS]

I’m 55 years old, born and raised in the Oregon Pacific Northwest. When I was a kid in the 70s I wanted to be an Alaska mountain man/trapper. All the books I read were about living off the land, hunting, trapping. Just living that log cabin life. 🪵 Subscriptions to Outdoor Life and Field & Stream just fueled my dreams. I wanted to say that you and your family are so fun to watch. First off you are living my dream which is so fun to watch. Secondly is that it looks like you know and appreciate that it’s special. I dig that. 🙂. Also love the KZbin channel. 👍👍

[@kilcher_homestead]

Thank you I do know how special it is and try to enjoy every day

[@Don-413]

Absolutely the best video ever! Eiven your great and Eve is even greater!

[@kilcher_homestead]

Glad you think so!

[@brucealfman1108]

Evil this video is awesome my kind of adventure. I am so thankful for you and your whole family. ❤

[@joannhernesmaa4904]

It's a blessing when the bear has lived its life and you gave it the quickest way to go out and meet its other families. I know you're gonna get blisters and sores on your feet and your shoulders are gonna ache but just remember all the men before you all the women before you who hunted for bear that's the price to pay not bad I believe.

[@natecanale7889]

Thanks for bringing me along on this adventure, really enjoyed the views. I remember watching the TV show and am glad you are know doing KZbin.

[@Bentwrench28]

Great job with the video. Enjoyed the hunt and rafting.

[@bobogilvie4472]

As I sit here in MY comfortable room watching I say THANK YOU for showing us what other people do to survive in a harsh enviroment.

[@joannhernesmaa4904]

Just to let you know I subscribed to your channel and put themselves up 22 of them already so glad to see you guys back.

[@Taitcreates639]

Holy cow, you have not aged one single it. Must be all of that treacherous exercise and great Alaskan air. Quite the adventure, love to eve and the children. God Bless

[@rickhall3053]

Very awesome adventure love it.

[@stevedpage114]

Really enjoying my visit to Alaska, can’t imagine what it like to live and share adventures there, nicely done.

[@bobogilvie4472]

It has been great to watch the families grow the through the years since YOU were on discovery channel.

[@debbienorton3855]

Great trip. Good to see you and your family again. 🎉🎉

[@bripeck]

Awesome video! Keep them coming!

[@locomanjim1554]

Eiven so happy to see you and Otto make the jump to YT. Still remember the early episode when you and otto floated your atv's in the bay. Keep up the adventures...LOL

[@emilasmith4279]

Holy moly that was wild!!! What did I do today? Just some yard weeding. What did you do today? Flew into mountains with a glacier, hiked thousands of feet up a mountain, killed a bear, slid down some gnarly snow with life ending crevasses, went white water rafting, and paddled out in the ocean. No biggie! How did your hands not get cut up on that packed snow and not freeze out in that river. You certainly know how to live in the edge. Good on ya! ❤

[@MonarchAZ]

Love watching this. People who are against hunting because they say a gun makes it easy never hunted in Alaska! You earned every pound of that meat!

[@kilcher_homestead]

Thank you

[@kens.3729]

The Cabin was a Big Time Bonus and an Excellent way to Finish the Last Night of your Trip. Thanks Logan! 👍🙏

[@carolbonnett7409]

What an adventure!! 😁 so glad I found your channel. Only watched a handfull of your video's . Love the variety. 😊 watching from Australia. 😁🇦🇺

[@d3vin301]

This is so much better than having a Discovery Channel crew with you

[@LunaGrace62]

What a awesome video! Loved seeing the whole family and sitting on the edge of my seat! I don't know how you did it AND video the whole thing! Sharing to my page with "KILTERS RETURN" !

[@nialloreilly1807]

Well done super impressive independent media 👏 lov it stay safe out there 👍 From Eire 🍀

[@mandamebe2146]

What an amazing adventure! Thanks for taking us along!!

[@jodyseaman1885]

What a great video, the scenery is just beautiful. Tent camping to luxury cabin on the last night wow. So great to see you and the family again.

[@rccollins8160]

Love this stuff. I love the gear talk especially…

[@stevenrochon2513]

I just subscribed. What an awesome video. Now I'm going to watch the rest of your content. I know I won't be disappointed. Thanks from Ontario Canada. 👊

[@kilcher_homestead]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@oldmanrunnerrob]

You guys sure have some cool adventures! Love your family…thanks for sharing!

[@mt2020]

What a great video. Thank you.

[@CoBeau29]

This was a pretty adventurous video! Lots of action and beautiful scenery! Well done! 😊👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@MonarchAZ]

Don't think you can just get off your couch & do this! These guys have serious strength! I did a little scree hiking/sliding, scooting down snow when I lived in Alaska...not bad when I was 28 and super fit! 😊

[@khbaker21]

Watched earlier today and now i get to finish the video! Thanks for re-uploading.

[@kilcher_homestead]

Thanks, glad you are going to finish it

[@juanitakauffman6336]

You were nuts going down the mountain and the trip down the river.

[@Q_The_Rabbit]

Gotta get my Eivin, Eve, & Otto fix. We'll done! Loving your cookbook😊

[@neutonrenda2303]

I bet that sauna was just the right ending to that raft ride.👍

[@RichardWillis-qx5uv]

That was awesome, thank you for sharing your experience.

[@John-f1d7s]

Wow! It's been a while since we've had the privilege to visit with our favorite Alaskan family! We can't believe how the children have grown! Sparrow is a minami of Eve, and just as passionate with the homestead gardening! And seeing Finley in the bobcat just makes sense. You must r so proud. It makes me wish I could turn the clock back to 1978, the year I graduated, and the year I turned down a job on the Alaskan pipeline, and chose a different path, starting with service in the military, and later, a career in law enforcement. Now I can continue to enjoy your family and your homestead life, if only through your videos. I know how difficult self-filming is! Eivin Please don't get yourself hurt for the sake of that footage! We love you guys!

[@kimberg759]

Awesome video- thanks for taking us along. great job on the filming. love from Arizona ♥

[@davidmurray9683]

After I sent you that quote then I seen it a story of my life speak before I see. But that was that was a great that's about the best one I've seen yet not all of them that was great

Congratulations on Harvesting the Black Bear. 🐻 Like you said, Smaller is Tastier and you Deserve it after the Very Long Dangerous Trek to Reach it. Enjoy it. 👍

[@donaldsharp3682]

Man good too see y'all on KZbin!!!!#

[@lpschick7237]

“Life…something gets consumed for something else to survive”. Never a truer statement. No matter if you are vegan or not. You are consuming something else that is living to survive. Such is the circle of life. I love that comment. Glad you had a safe successful trip. I imagine you enjoy doing this better than the show. YOU control the content & what is & isn’t used. No scripting here. Not sure how much of the show was. But I enjoy this so much better. It’s genuine & from the heart. ❤. Thanks for taking us along.

[@grateful5881]

I wanted to express the same thing; you said it way better than I would have 😅

[@letzrockitrite8469]

Amazing footage Eivin .... beautifully done y'all !

[@kens.3729]

Was getting Ready to Watch the Video and it Disappeared. Thanks for Reposting. 👍🙏

[@FloatingVillageLife]

I've watched for many of years

[@jeffkizer6666]

Your an awsome inspiration!!

[@lucylynnjohnson]

Awesome skills to the guys on scaling that mountain, perfect on point shot, and skittering down the snow drains…. You made it look easy, but I know better. That’s a lifetime of living in it! Way to go Eve on captaining the ship to pick up the guys! You go girl! 😊

[@bennbenn5698]

Super cool

Thanks Eiven every video keeps getting better.Congratulations on 50 thousand subscribers 👍

[@AAdams-nd1pj]

Great video. It must be refreshing not having to contend with producers

[@jkoester5334]

Having been whitewater rafting, it would have been fun to have had your camera facing forward the entire time through the rapids. Would have loved to watch your lines through the rapids. Great video!

[@michaelmartineau1373]

Eivin absoulutly love watching your adventures. Thanks for shareing your life with us for me its amazeing to whatch. Look forward to comeing along on whatever you pos next again thanks.

[@davidwhittington6891]

It’s so sad that most people just don’t understand what the melting of the glaciers means and how rapidly they are changing. Thank you for sharing your experiences with the world.

[@Olympia_Outdoors]

Wonder if that's the boat he made back on the show? Very happy to have found this channel!

[@dougthomas1582]

We used to call that sliding technique "skitching". Have no idea where that came from. Probably a wit from a bonging staff meeting.

[@T1nTodd]

Best video yet! That was epic! No drone needed but would have been ridiculous. Amazing, guys!

[@lindahollister5530]

A great time on the water😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅.

[@betsymcintyre2701]

Love the humor about the goats 😊 Please never take your safety for granted. Watch your back while hunting. I'd rather have a messed up video then see you get hurt. I remember watching the show about your brother's accident and want you safe!!! BTW. How's he and his family doing ?

[@kilcher_homestead]

He is doing good, he still lives it at canyons edge

[@btrent9244]

Very good video. Everything 👍🇺🇸🚜. Thank you for sharing the excitement.

[@jeffkizer6666]

Your Awsome !!

[@Strangernightg]
