[@AlluringArctic]

Solo sailing lifestyle idiot has a camera as their only companion for 30 days. What will happen?! Will he get eaten by a bear?! Will he catch a shrimp? Maybe a fish? Will he ever get to actually sail? Will he just talk too much to the camera and make everyone annoyed? The only way to find out is to watch this video! Sohvi was in Finland preparing for her PhD defence during this month! Want to pay for these videos instead of watching them for free here on KZbin? Check out my Patreon page! www.patreon.com/alluringarctic (Patrons do get access to ad-free videos, WhatsApp chat group and a boat tracker map with a list of all the anchorages and harbours so far 🥳. Wow!)

[@AirborneAnt]

You’re a cool dude all around :) Excited for your upcoming vids!!!!!

[@lj9503]

Will he get eaten by a shrimp? XD Awesome episode, your videos keep getting better and better. Thank you!

[@brianmock551]

Thanks, very enjoyable!

[@usandthemakakelly2535]

What an incredible life you have. ☮️💜

[@JarKo880]

It's Bear here. I ate solo sailling idiot and took over his youtube channel. Keep watching, like, subscribe and don't forget to send me another one as I am getting hungry :D PS. Fingers crossed for Sohvi.

[@dennisg8164]

best of luck to Sohvi on her thesis defense

[@AlaskaRog]

I lived in Alaska for about 40 years. That eagle poop shot was very impressive.

[@romanteni]

Lolol ofcorse you'd notice that. Spoken like a true Alaskan.

[@lib747]

That Bold Eagle moment is priceless!

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

I salute your solo sailing, filming, drone footage, wildlife, deep thoughtful observation of climate and time, shrimping, lifestyle cooking, and soulful enjoyment of a happy comedic life.👏

[@billstuart8481]

You should already have a million subscribers. The refit was enough to hook me. Then the photography, knowledge and best of all, the humor. Can't imagine a warm weather sailor clicking on this and not finding it addicting to watch.

[@alexanderkielczynski2437]

I agree TOTALLT... Brilliant channel. love the monotone voice!!

[@coreyb9920]

OMG the one shrimp plate special "presentation is important", hilarious!

[@deevan2489]

Great at everything! Not easy using drone, sailing, navigating, and talking to the camera all at the same time! Wonderful talent!!

[@klasgollunberg388]

I fully agree with you. One of the bigest talents at KZbin.

[@real2gone]

Not to mention cooking garlic shrimps!!!

[@dougbrodie2482]

Seriously skilful Juho, very, very well done re drones & navigation.

[@jordanbey870]

He needs another woman..one that can help not one who sleeps all day .

[@bpoole007]

I came for the cool sailing location, but I was blown away by the cinematography and storytelling. This is so good, thank you

[@alexanderkielczynski2437]

You are my ONLY Patreon subject! I did Leo's channel for a while, and whilst I still LOVE what he is doing on Tally Ho, and eagerly await all his videos, I am a poor South African! Our money is worth nothing! So, as he is doing well I chose to support you. Anyway, my wife and I have a classic 32 ft boat that we are getting ready to sail up to Madagascar and beyond, this time next year. We watch all the sailing channels and really like your style, your boat, and your location. Keep it up, and keep telling these people that watch you regularly and don't subscribe, that it is free to subscribe!! no skin off their nose to just click SUBSCRIBE. I want you to keep making videos. All the best, Alex.

[@janetkennedy5940]

I don't know why you don't have many more subs, your filming is excellent.

[@jonnenne]

The posting isn't regular enough. You need months of weekly (or more frequent) uploads to build up momentum

[@wilfulsprite555]

It's a pretty good number for a sailing channel. It deserves a wider audience really.

[@poguedil]

Hey that's my boat! I was the guy right behind you at the fuel dock. I thought you handled your boat approach like a pro. The wind blew be off the dock. Haha it was great to see ya

[@AlluringArctic]

:D nice! i remember you! we'll be back in Whittier, maybe I'll see you there again!

[@poguedil]

@AlluringArctic let me know I would love to chat and give you some local information on the area.

[@laurencevanhelsuwe3052]

Superb pictures. Very gutsy to be hanging around up there all on your own.

[@johndorian473]

KZbin needs to promote your channel more

[@karlfair]

The Swiss Army knife channel, cooking, fishing, sailing and skiing. Nice work.

[@generossano2800]

You are certainly one piece of work. Skiing alone from a sailboat in winter in Alaska. I just love it. Stick with it, my friend. Don't ever change. you are wonderful just as you are.

[@TT-tn1dp]

“Windlass replacement just 2hr job” … haha … old mariner told me boat jobs measured 1hr=1day, 2hrs=2 days etc!

[@philipmccumbee3624]

Being able to catch your own shrimp is really cool. Be safe and don’t take any chances with those avalanches. Gather food during the day and show us your cooking skills!

[@cjyoung7372]

The cat food for bait works really well but instead of opening the can just pop 2 or 3 holes in them and the best thing is that it can be stored indefinitely

[@AlluringArctic]

thanks for the tip!

[@spinosaurusrex11]

possibly your best posting yet. Great job.

[@AlluringArctic]

Wow, thanks!

[@darryljones7299]

i thought that too, great work.

[@markthomasson5077]

They just keep getting better

[@dantheman164]

I love your videos. Solo sailing is great, but having someone there with you is we are meant to experience life. Come back soon Sohvi!

[@informationmimic9547]

One more thing i'd like to mention - if possible, could you put notes like "+high temperature" and the like not in the lower part of the video, but in upper or somewhere else, because i often use subtitles (not native speaker) and your note overlaps with the subtitles. I guess same goes for every time you have to translate Finnish and put your own subtitles. I understand that YT subtitles can be moved elsewhere manually, but i was wondering if i'm not the only one with this problem. Cheers from a certain place with the sirens!

[@euroyank860]

The new Life style Guru is born ;-)

[@mikaellundqvist6941]

Love your preparation of the one shrimp, hahaha! Love your scenic footage! Keep it up, love from Sweden!

[@teemuhanninen9240]

Törmäsin pari tuntia sitten kanavaasi. Upeita videoita, mahtavaa purjehdusta. Varmasti katson lisää. 👍

[@AlluringArctic]

kiitos teemu!

[@merjamannonen430]

Kannattaa katsoa ! Ne on aina tosi hyviä ! Siis TOSI !😊

[@teemuhanninen9240]

Mun koko perhe joutui tänään videoitesi pauloihin! 😅

[@jsmit9484]

The whole single shrimp fiasco made me giggle, haha. Thanks for the awesome video!

[@Gottenhimfella]

He did tell us he was fishing for shrimp, not shrimps 😉

[@Brad.whatthe]

That is how the Bubba Gump shrimp empire got started 🦐

[@johannilsson2714]

I lol'd so hard at the eagle, and again with the one-shrimp-catch, loved it. And as a first time commenter, I must say I love your style, I love how it's like getting to know how you think in some way =)

[@heiner71]

Great video. Amazing landscapes. More cooking shows are appreciated!

[@Pappa6991]

All Love from Sweden to you and your sailing and video´s that you give us dreamers in Alaska from a sailor in Sweden but only in the Baltic countries so far Wish you all luck

[@The333]

The 64,000 dollar question - where's Sohvi???

[@AlluringArctic]

she was in Finland preparing for her PhD defence during this month!

[@informationmimic9547]

@timetravelr2025 i was kinda worried about what happened to her too. There is such a delay between YT and FB posts, so i was about to ask what has happened. Best of luck to you both and no less than 7 feet under the keel for Lumi!

[@markstott6689]

​@timetravelr2025 Nah lol. It was obvious that it was PhD defence time. There's been plenty of clues over the last few months. 😊😊😊

[@stevenr8606]

​@@markstott6689Patreons know 😊

[@CAPTJohn47]

Maybe back in Finland defending her dissertation. Just a guess.

[@davidbeckett7291]

Re your joke about the shrimp noodles - The Fins under the flag ( siniristilippu) have such a sense of humour! Beautiful video once again well done

[@teresakarlson4377]

We loved your inclusion of cooking your catches, especially when you only had one shrimp. Your dry sense of humor is wonderful! We're so looking forward to following along on this one-month adventure! :)

[@davidnoelfranks1124]

When I saw the tittle it made me think of the Books written by Tristram Jones , A man invalidated out of the British army in the 1950's who lived for sailing for the rest of his life going round the world , usually on his own Great video , Sir .

[@sirkyoj1]

Good to see Loki off adventuring on his own.

[@Vinnie101a]

That’s the unluckiest shrimp in the whole of Alaska.

[@davewachs2622]

This episode is great and your humor is hilarious, genuinely funny, fantastic shooting/editing as well.

[@micahgerdis1008]

My mom was born in this general region. I was blown away the first time I got to visit as a kid. It is raw wild beauty. Hard to really capture but this definitely is a good representation of it.

[@dulciemargaretcolton145]

Sea Otters. Sea Eagle doing a poop, amazing scenery. Beautiful video. A month on ur own will pass So fast hope you really enjoy Juho. Take care and stay safe won't you.😊

[@SailingHiraeth]

Fantastic as always

[@eyesyc]

There is something unique about being in solitude in the wilderness. Your preparation makes the journey and is much about it. Good work

[@rightsideupvt]

As an American I must express my deepest thanks for catching our majestic national bird, the Bald Eagle, squirting out some Bald Eagle guano. Cheers to you, Sir!

[@louiscaputo2733]

Always look forward to another of your life adventures. Just a FYI. Avoid using boat fenders for a Pot float. Use only the Bullet shaped floats which are designed to duck under the waves or swells and leave the pot undisturbed and still on the bottom. there is too much buoyancy with a fender and the pot can lift and move and in significant wave action the pot can actually "walk away". Hope this helps.

[@songbird788]

I love your lifestyle . Wish I could be sailing with you. Love your boat too!! Thank you for sharing your travels ....❣️

[@AirborneAnt]

@14:38 WOW!!!!! that should be on the Quarter for Alaska LOL Never seen that before!!! He thrusted and shot that out with some trajectory on it LOL

[@pironiero]

this episode is heeps better than most this year🎉 i even decided to resub more cooking

[@user-sc9kv9hp5z]

A new subscriber here. I'm born and raised in Florida USA. I have never seen and experienced snow at all. Watching you opens a whole new exciting world for me. Keep up the great work. Stay safe.

[@DefaultUser61]

I’ve never seen shrimp pots before. Here in south Louisiana we catch shrimp in nets but that was cool to see. I’m a chef so I have a tip when sautéing shrimp like that. Save that last pay of butter for the end. Turn off the heat and melt the butter in while stirring vigorously. It makes a nice sauce. Love the content ❤

[@sandy-quimsrus]

I've seen a documentary on the residents of the building shown at the beginning, it was really interesting. Happy sailing. That's a prawn 🦐 mate.

[@hexhex7220]

Hidden gem of a channel... somehow, that "One" shrimp must have tasted OH SO GOOD!!

[@ricardoparro7296]

super nice!! The feeling of freedom you must have must be out of this world!

[@GrandOldMan]

I do like, when you fix stuff. Learning stuff. And thanks for sharing your dinner.

[@merjamannonen430]

Muumimuki, Suomenlippu ja mustakurkku uikut ! jäi mieleen 👍 ❤ Ei ole rantautuminen yksin niin helppoa, hyvin meni kuitenkin 👍 ja se ankkurin kiinnittäminen 👍 Hienoa kokkaamista, sitruunat ja kaikki löytyi 😊 Ilmastonmuutos näkyy siis sielläkin...🙄 Täällä odotellaan Lahja-myrskyä... Hyvät jatkot 🇫🇮👋

[@merjamannonen430]

Ja eiköhän ne Sohvin ajankohtaset jutut näy vasepuukissa 🤔😏😅 ym.

[@pinky2245]

Such beautiful scenery up there! And those shrimp looked so delicious! Great video!

[@muza1404]

Lovely filming mate its great to see local animals and bird life and great to see you do some fishing its fish are really great tucker keep it coming mate, have watched your videos from day one and it's great to see how the quality and content has grown 😊

[@fredwilliams6843]

As usual, excellent videography, especially of the wild life. Sailing + cooking channel, two for one. Getting many likes on my heather t-shirt. Quality material and workmanship. Stay safe.

[@markstott6689]

The shrimping and cooking are a nice addition to the channel. I'm looking forward to seeing what you catch and how you cook it next time. It's a shame that you don't eat meat because pollack is great stuffed with chorizo, wrapped in bacon and then roasted. ❤😊❤😊❤

[@stephanmckenney306]

The Best Cold Climate Sailing Channel!, Love Your Videos, A Little Like a modern Shackleton. Best Regards, ⛵

[@cleetussnow7159]

Happy to see this channel taking off. I think there were 18k subscribers when I came aboard. I know Lumi isn’t finished yet, but what are your impressions with her so far? Seems like a good boat tomme but I know nothing about boats.

[@jonnenne]

Boats arw never "finished". When you are done with the to do list, you start from the oldest stuff. This doesn't really happen ever though

[@tradewind67]

We need Sohvi!!! It’s much more fun with her.

[@SimonRigg-dp1sz]

A very magic location. Maybe you didnlt notice but your whole interaction in this episode came across as being very direct and personal, I think solo sailing and being alone is part of this process.

[@ScotChef]

✊🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 must be raining all over we have not seen the sun for more than a day or two this summer 😂bring on the snow! ✊🏻

[@PaulSmith-pz9eq]

Yup .. Great photography as usual but I was getting hungry looking at those delicious, fresh shrimp . Congratulations Sohvi!

[@mariannewinkelman7255]

I love the wildlife and nature, absolutely beautiful. The info on the avalanche was super interesting, enjoy your dinner. Thanks for sharing your unique experiences. 😊

[@kristietoothfairy]

Thank you such an entertaining video! The shrimp looked delicious! Be safe😊

[@AlluringArctic]

thank you so much!

[@Olli_on_bord]

Nothing can beat good Finnish humor. 😅😅😅

[@lhunterdds]

I am a new subscriber and a fairly serious home cook in California. Your preparation of the (15) shrimp was nearly perfect, you even used white wine which won of the heart of a Californian. The only addition might be chopped flat leaf Italian parsley which would only lend color to the dish. You enjoyed the full flavor with even greater freshness than I could achieve with store-bought shrimp. The ambience, your surroundings, lend flavor to the dish than I could ever achieve in my home. I really enjoyed this episode. P.S., I was a sailor for 20 years in the San Francisco Bay and California coast so I certainly appreciate the sailing aspect of it as well.

[@BuzzSargent]

I have been subscribed for years and always look forward to your show. Sohvi is probably watching these solo shows too and is nervous when you get in the dingy... It is so good that you keep safety 1st. I make the commercials play but can't really afford Patreon sorry. Happy Trails

[@Vinnie101a]

But the other bloggers aren’t usually in the frozen wilderness of Alaska, nor do they go mountain skiing from their yachts. 13:05. 😂. Congratulations to Sohvi and to you Juho for continuing the adventures whilst alone.

[@Velo1010]

You’re exactly on the money. All the other KZbin sailing channels are all about sailing in the tropics. His channel is in a class of its own.

[@RiDankulous]

The red sail cover and white boat look beautiful with the sea color, alpines and snow covered mountains imho. The mechanical aspects of functions of the boat parts is very interesting. It takes good skill to know what's most important, regular maintenance and even how to replace some items without paying a professional mechanic.

[@jyrkituominen4000]

Great timing! Was just looking for something inspiring to watch before hitting the bed and bang there it was, a notice from Alaska. Thank you !

[@robertpatterson641]

Always watch your videos. thanks 👍

[@chrismiles7357]

Best cooking channel ever 😜. 10/10 for the shrimp👍

[@vickyoakes4584]

Excellent fishing, or shrimping I should say. Everything is so much better when fresh. I think anyway. Thanks for sharing these great adventures of yours, they are great

[@LaughterOnWater]

Absolutely loving your sense of humor in this episode! You’ve obviously mastered the KZbin coffee pour! Level up! (Cue Mario world sound effect.)You are now mastery level! Well done! as always, stay safe out there!

[@judybiddulph2164]

Love watching your adventures. So different.

[@DominicNSX]

Incredible episode, gorgeous scenery!

[@DDK1068]

Love your understated sense of humor.

[@nivek2157]

Great scenery and videography as usual. Do you ever worry about bears when skiing

[@Gottenhimfella]

Shhh! They may be reading this!

[@gregluce]

After watching since you are a skier, now I see you are on a vintage Garcia, and then you go all culinary and catch, cook and eat one shrimp. I was subscribed, now I am a proud patron on Patreon. Cheers!

[@clickykbd]

Of all the sailing channels I enjoy, location wise, yours are my favorite!

[@davethomas3565]

Joho, the info on taking the load off your windless was priceless to me. I haven't heard of doing that. Thank you good luck shrimping. Love the video. ⚓

[@davidhakes3884]

Hahaha, 1 shrimp , you will be Loving and Lean when Sophi gets back. Ahah!! you got some shrimp, good going.

[@AKgonzo]

I had a 30 foot sloop in Whittier in the late 70s to the mid 80s. I loved anchoring in the little hole at the head of Bettles Bay. In those days we caught king crab about where you are shrimping. PWS is beautiful and bountiful.

[@cleetussnow7159]

Also yes to more cooking videos: in particular catch and cook. Other food is less interesting to me, but since I do some remote rv camping I can appreciate that kind of cookng to a lesser degree.

[@tymanot]

Great pictures again. Thanks for sharing.

[@gunghoadventures871]

Juho , that's paradise.

[@stevelawrie9115]

I'm glad you clarified that was shrimp bait. 🙂I don't know if you'll see this post, this is an old movie but thank you for showing someone in Australia, this great wilderness that I'd probably not get to see.

[@solarfunction1847]

OMG that bird pooping was insane like a fire hose lol.

[@GeneralButtNake]

😂😂😂😂😂the eagle shitting I’m in stitches! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭and the shrimp dinner! Presentation is everything! 😭😭😭

[@MS-Matakana]

Wow, them shrimp look tasty and an easy catch. Don't have them down here. I'll have to settle for crab. Enjoy, cheers from NZ.

[@carolinecaiger6717]

Glad to see you back with more adventures :)

[@jacquesbotha9512]

A welcome, refreshing channel with excellent dry humor, lovely to see something different than sailing the Caribbean. Keep going, catch that fish!

[@krimke881]

you know, that is the best from this channel I've seen in at least a year. The vibe, calmness and focus was and is something I want more of.

[@brookemartin6101]

Juho, the views you captured of Alaska are Absolutely Beautiful!. 🌫🏞🗻🌲

[@hughthemusicalengineer4365]

Amazing views, but looks SOOO COLD :)

[@sailingfishcake]

I just loved the shrimp catching and cooking scene 😄. Absolutely love your videos!

[@PhilDesmond]

For Sohvi to do this type of adventure / expedition while preparing for a PhD defense is quite impressive. You are both impressive.

[@robbbbbie12]

As long as there is an internet connection, being stuck for months on end in a boat in a remote location is probably a pretty good place to be preparing to defend a phd dissertation!

[@colrodrick8784]

Just want you to know that I subscribed ages ago. For some reason I wasn't doing that much YT watching of sailing channels until recently. Funny, because that's really in the family blood. As an aside, I had a mate back in Sydney Oz, when I was a kid at uni who was Finnish. Kalevi was his name. His faher was in the shipbuilding industry and he worked for Syd Fischer who desiged several competitors for the America's Cup, before it went crazy with foiling cats and the like. Enjoying your stuff. I'm finding the cooking shows quite entertaining, so keep them going if you like to do them.

[@rodneybowdler9325]

Hi I think your sailing videos are the best on KZbin you actually show everything you're doing great 👍 best regards jim

[@dick8193]

Great video, thanks!

[@saxophool]

Love the new lifestyle type content! 😊
