In case you're wondering where Vilk and Odyssey are... They're staying with a trusted friend in the Lower 48. This trip wasn't very doggo-friendly as you can imagine! Can't wait to be reunited again 🥰

[@JasonCarney.]

Came to the comments to ask where Vilk is 😂

[@troymitchell1747]

You need to see Marsing and Salmon Idaho. I think you’d really like those towns if you’re still looking for a place to live. Escalante and Boulder, Utah are very remote.

[@blazingdank420]

Thanks for the reassurance. I comment about Vilk every video haha. Great video as always and what an amazing experience in Alaska.

Over the years Ms. Eva has turned out to be quite the adventurer and documentarian. She has worked herself into a excellent story teller for the board home body's like myself. A real modern day Ernest Hemingway. The fact that she's charming and cute adds a little endearment to her endeavors. Keep up the excellent work Eva. I just might break open my Piggy Bank and become another of your many Pateron supporter.

You're kind, thanks so much! Hope to make more good films in the future from all around the world.

@@evazubeck I would love to see you time travel, go back to spend some time with Dick Proenneke

[@bigdream_dreambig]

I once vacationed alone at a cabin for about a week -- sometimes hiking, sometimes boating, but mostly just sitting on the porch reading the books that I'd brought to keep my mind occupied. Ultimately, I realized that I hadn't actually felt truly relaxed until the afternoon hour toward the end of my last day when I put the books down and just absorbed my natural surroundings. I wished I'd done it sooner.

[@evazubeck]

Ahh yes I totally feel you there! Even books can be a distraction from the essential.

[@sylvaindupuis5595]

I think that maybe, you where not ready to really relax until you did at the end of your stay. It take some time to completely forget all the stress and rhythm of our daily life. Reading books and the other activities you have done where probably necessary to attain the state of mind that you reached on your last day.

Many years ago, my dad made this trip . It was work related. He worked as a merchant marine. He was there for six months. During his nights of leisure, he would collect old burned-out match sticks from other mariners and literally make all sorts of things out of them. To this day, we still have a coffee table that he made from old match sticks. He was a storyteller . Thank you for sharing this video with us. We truly appreciate it. That's why we are a Patreon supporter. Sending you much love ❤ from Richmond, Va. Jim, Harriet and Yuki

This dear Eva is not boredom, it’s being completely “present”.❤

[@candacenielsen2852]

Eva, as a local from Cold Bay I’m so glad you went with this route to travel the Aleutians! I always always recommend this trip to anyone who wants to really experience Alaska. The history and connecting to the water is so rich! I’ve made this trip several times, in a tent, on a bench and in a cabin. All such a great adventure. My only edit to point out is Cold Bay is not actually an Island :) it’s the last town on the “mainland” 😄. Although it feels as remote as an island. Thanks again for the great footage!

[@kosipova01]

What a crazy ferry! Hard to believe it’s allowed to camp there! What an adventure! The wind seemed cold 🥶

[@markmadnessmedia]

Eva, you never disappoint! Of all the travel channels I follow, you are by far my favorite. No fluff, all real and genuine. Safe travels and we can't wait to see your next video. (:

[@evazubeck]

Aww thanks! Lots of great KZbinrs out there so I'm very honoured.

[@richardhanley3411]

As a nomad I've realized that it's not always the grand adventures, that sometimes it's the adventures that don't seem like much that turns out to be fantastic and soul touching. Anyway you have a great wonderful time and the very best of life to you. Peace out

[@evazubeck]

Absolutely agreed

[@StephanniePNW]

In the early 1970's my mother lived on Unalaska, Aleutian Islands for a couple years when the population was just a couple hundred. She moved there by herself at 22 yrs old with a job lined up doing daycare for a little church. She lived in a one-room apartment that was made from a converted WWII army cabin and spent a season working at a clam cannery. I heard lots of stories growing up including the husky puppy she adopted that she swore was half wolf because of how massive it's paws were, haha. I'm looking forward to seeing this island through your eyes. :)

[@evazubeck]

Wow that's such a cool story! Must have been an amazing experience for her.

[@cathyholt5215]

I had an aunt that went to Kodiak from Pennsylvania as a young woman as a missionary. She married a local who worked in a canary and raised a family there. Thank you for showing a bit of that island.

[@orlyno364]

I’m a 57 yr old female who loves going on cruises alone. I always get a balcony room and immerse myself in the serenity of the ocean

[@josephmayo3253]

Even in my younger, more adventurous days, I don't think this is a trip I would have tried, but you made it look fascinating. A boredom break is one of the best things for rejuvenating the mind. The week I spent at Mt. Katahdin back in the 80s with nothing to do but sleep eat and hike was one of the most refreshing times of my life.

[@timmusician5060]

5 days camping ⛺️ on a boat looks like way more fun than a 4 hour plane ride.

[@quincemoth]

This video is just stunning. The pictures, be it a mountain emerging from the clouds or just you warming up your meal in the microwave, the music, your storytelling, I just love it. It's a beautiful artpiece and it makes me feel calm, content and happy. Thanks so much!

[@yvonnebirch6026]

This brought back some happy memories for me. My late husband and I took our little motorhome to Alaska from our home in Monterey and took one those ferries back to Washington. It took 3 days. We had a cabin. One of our best trips ! Thank you Eva ! Happy trails ! 💕🌷🙏

[@evazubeck]

Wow that's cool! Yeah the Inside Passage is awesome too!

[@davemyers3863]

This video touches my heart. I was stationed on Adak for thirty months in the early nineties for the navy. Even though that was over thirty years ago I think of the stunning beauty of Adak and the Aleutian chain almost daily. I consider myself lucky to have experienced the Aleutians.

[@michaelsadams524]

I have said that boredom is often underrated. We need rest and once in awhile, we just need a lazy day! Thank you, Eva!

[@McTroyd]

I'm astounded at how well you conveyed a 5-day ferry crossing, where the chief element was boredom, without the video itself being boring at all, Eva. In particular, now that you bring it up, I can't remember the last time where I had whole days of "nothing" to do. As I sit at my desk at home right now, I'm surrounded by stacks of a dozen projects I hope to get to, but aren't done yet. All those projects are completely exclusive of my professional life. Even on vacation, I can't seem to manage more than an hour or two lying on the beach, for example. No idea how life got to be that way, but I think it's something I should fix before anything bad comes of it. Thanks for the perspective. 👍

[@Hakulanni]

Thank You Eva for not abandoning your sense of Adventure. I spiritually travel with you on your Journeys. You and Noraly (Itchy Boots) are my favorite Adventurers.

Noraly is awesome

I like how you say you crave the sun and warmth then constantly end up in cold climates. I can't judge though, because I am literally the same! What a fantastic "anti-cruise".💚

Love this! KZbin is full of vloggers taking fancy 1st class flights and bragging about the experience. This is so much calmer and nicer.

[@pehrml]

Just a reminder Eva, that there are also beautiful, natural landscapes from Northern Europe.. :-)

[@artiedow8670]

@evazubeck I have watched your videos for quite awhile. When I was young I had a very adventurous drive and travelled all over the U.S. and Mexico. Those are still some of my fondest memories. I don't think the average person can understand the freedom you experience on some of the adventures, and also a whole lot of fear lol. For me it was the excitement of the unknown. Tomorrow I turn 53 and am unfortunately home bound. I became very ill after my wife passed away in 2019 and I sunk into a deep deep depression and completely let myself get into seriously bad health. I am now on the tremendously long road to recovery and hopefully within a couple years I will be able to be out and about once again. I am living and re-living my life through your camera lens. I am so grateful to you for sharing your life and adventures with us. There was a video I watched of yours recently where you went to that town Jarbidge. It was in those places similar to that I grew to love my adventures away from the hustle and bustle of the big cities. I fortunately now live in a very rural and small town now about 35 miles from the nearest major town. Thank you so much for sharing and your video creation is 2nd to none. Please keep going and never lose that spirit you have. You make me smile every day. Thank you again and safe and happy travels. You have a real fan for life.

[@evazubeck]

"How boring can it get?" Never boring. I had so much fun on the Alaska Ferry. I want to do it again and again and again. I did bring an iPad with a bunch of books, but spent most of my time just watching the scenery along with the other deck campers.

[@evazubeck]

Agreed!

[@AnnikaWithAk]

Whenever I think that Eva has already done some crazy trips by herself, she always surprises me by coming around the corner with something more challenging and experiences most people would not dream about doing :D I am curious how you get all these ideas into your head. First I thought that the few people who boarded with you might find it odd, that you are putting up your tent. Loool, but then seeing these other people who came up in Kodiak ... looks like a normal thing to do.

[@nikossamsung10]

Same here :)

[@maryanngibbs6963]

same thought I had lol

[@evazubeck]

Haha yup. The staff on the ship told me I should camp, rather than sleep inside the lounge, as well. So I think everyone is in on the secret!

[@cherylmay595]

Actually I just recently watched another KZbinr go on a ferry to Alaska, much like the one Eva is on, and there were many tents up in the tent area. I was so shocked to see that. It appears to be a common thing. But this particular KZbinr had his own cabin, he had just stumbled upon that area as he walked around. So I found it interesting to see Eva's new video where she is actually staying in her tent on the ferry...getting a whole other perspective.

[@navdeepatwal5955]

Eva, I love your videos. I have just started my 20s, and you inspire me a lot all the time. I want to build courage just like you and travel around the world 🌎 I am sure that, like me, you inspire many people to break the norm of travel. Keep going and stay safe.

[@michaelalan6840]

Hi Eva, thanks for showing us the Aleutian Islands! I live in the Appalachian forests of New England [in a secluded log kit home with my wife, daughter & our golden retriever & a black kitty], so I don't explore the US as much as I'd like to. Those mountains that you're seeing are volcanoes since the Aleutians are an island "Arc" formed by the Pacific Oceanic Plate subducting beneath the North American Plate. The magma that is uplifted to form the islands is generated by the heat of friction of the basaltic [mafic] oceanic plate moving beneath the North American Plate, which has more rock layers containing silicon dioxide [like quartzite & granite, the minerals of which glass is composed]. The western Pacific volcanoes of the Americas are similarly formed by this subduction of the Pacific Oceanic Plate. You are our favorite, most comely, travel hostess. I'm so glad that you are showing us these wild places, it's so much fun to watch your excellent videography & to enjoy your cara linda!

[@TravelerHelena]

When I am in situations when I have nothing to do, I get excessively stressed. The feeling of not doing anything “productive” haunts me every time. I loved how you managed to embrace the feeling of not doing anything and just be present, thank you for showing me that!

unironically of all the things you've done, this is the top of the list for me, I LOVE Alaska! I've been looking into buying land up there in the Kenai peninsula, the sheer ruggedness and majestic beauty is too much. and I love rough weather. honestly, it isnt the daily rain or the cold or the snow that bugs me, its the humidity. Im from the high desert, I never knew what real humidity was until I was up there, oh, and the damn mosquitos. but, besides that, I cant wait until I can start building up there.

Thank You So Much! I did that trip back a long time ago. We lost three tents the first day, (not mine, HA). Met cool people from all over the world on that ferry, some of which I still talk to today. That is one of the most memorable trips I ever took. Once I got to my port, I fell in love with AK, and stayed for seven years. Got hooked into the commercial fishing world. What a blast. Skippered a bit in the end, but it was time to go home. Defining period of my life, it was...

A few years ago, I checked out the Alaska Ferries, Carnival, and Princess cruise lines... Found out that I could find a better price by sharing an inside cabin with the cruise lines!!! Had interment, WiFi, great food, heated pools & hot tubs, even someone to clean my room and even make up my bed every day, and the best of everything, even an in-room WC!!! Shared a cabin with a "Back Paker" from New Zealand with a tent, that had the same idea as I... The first Alaskan Cruise was so much FUN, that I did FIVE more cruises over the years!!! Cheers

Alaska has been a dream destination for myself for close to 30 years. After a life changing event in the last couple of weeks and inspirations received from watching you travel, I am making my first solo journey of life from Oklahoma to Montana this winter. I have been a truck driver for 15 years and have never traveled for mental health. It's always been for a paycheck. Never stopping to enjoy the surroundings. Thank you for all that you continue to show us. Mental and physical strength, joy and that wonderful smile of yours. It has inspired so many of us to make our first step into truly doing what we desire to do for ourselves and knowing that it can be an amazing journey. My road trip to Alaska WILL be in the next 24 months!

[@bobnovak9624]

Eva, Welcome to the Aleutian Islands of Alaska! You have no idea how fortunate you were to have had good sailing weather as the weather and the seas in that part of the Pacific Ocean/Bearing Sea can be the worse! I was excited to see that you were heading out into the Aleutian Islands as I lived and worked on the Aleutian Island of Amchitka for 9 months. It's much farther out in the Aleutian Island chain, was and is still uninhabited. (I worked there as a Department of Defense contractor.) Yes, the Aleutians do have mountainous peaks and some have dormant volcano's on them. As you're finding out, there is a lot of history in the islands. You're fortunate to be visiting during the "summer month" of August since the weather will begin to cool off more as the months progress. It's not unusual for Anchorage to have it's first major snow in October. Have fun, stay safe, and stay warm! Oh, and don't go walking through the tundra grass as iron barbs were buried during the war as a defense against Japanese troops. They're basically an iron bar bent with a circle in the middle and stuck half way into the ground up to the circle and well hidden in the tall tundra grass. The ends of the bar are pointed. If you step close to one, the other end may impale your leg as that was the intent. One can never be sure that they were all found and removed. So, please be careful hiking through the tundra!

I did the Marine Highway years go - the route up the Canadian coast. I used the 3 days as a rest (but did get a cabin…), too, a break between a cross country drive and a new job in Anchorage. Landing in Haynes, Alaska, I then took off (in the snow) through the Yukon Territory (which included Destruction Bay…. Ominous) and (unbelievably) made in through the deep snow on uncleared highways and arrived in Anchorage. I was young and crazy then…. At least you’re in the Aleutionsin te summer, my trip was. In November…

You had some fancy edits to the music in this one, and as always, a perfected intro. Well done. I absolutely LOVE that you chose the ferry over the plane, just for the aventure of it. I would wholeheartedly do the same. My folks also camped on a ferry in AK when they spontaneously joined a fishing crew in their 50s for 3 consecutive years!

Eva, FYI the very first winter, large scale, commercial fishing expedition to the Bering Sea occurred during the winter 1979/1980....and it was a polish fleet from ODRA company, Swinoujscie consisting of a few large, deep sea factory trawlers which dared to take risks with the violent, nasty storms and blazed the trail for the future american deep sea fishing industry. The polish fishermen /crews flew in by a commercial airline to our vessels ( I was a student- trainee on the Otol) moored in Vancouver, BC, a few days before Christmas ,1979. I recall vividly that we left the harbor on Christmas Eve in the late evening. We left the protection of the Vancouver Island by the early morning, on Christmas Day and then it became very rough and stormy for the next 10 days while the vessels were slowly steaming through the Northwest Passage until we arrived near Kodiak, Gulf of Alaska. First, we fished for 2 months in the Gulf, through January-February 1980. It was amazingly calm weather In the Gulf, with the seas as flat as a lake with many sunny, beautiful days to boot. But the conditions changed dramatically when we went into the Bering Sea, in March 1980. The numerous, nasty storms were scary and life threatening...but we all survived without any mishaps and after 6 months of fishing/ work we returned to Vancouver, BC in May 1980 (never touched the land during those 6 months as we were offloading frozen fish/ fish meal to and were supplied / fueled by Soviet ships at sea) Ahoy!

I'm jealous how much time you got to spend in Alaska. My dream to go there on day!

[@barrysmith8920]

Dream of Alaska always...put all positive energy to it. Be a better person. Be kind to others and spread love. Work towards it. It will happen!

[@maryanngibbs6963]

has always been a dream of mine too since I was a little girl. Hopefully we both will make our dream come true some day

[@evazubeck]

Very lucky. Hope you get to go!

[@agnesskibicka]

​@@maryanngibbs6963same here! Hello from Poland 🇵🇱 and my channel 😊 and the countryside 🏡!

[@sparetimegamer6263]

I love you and everything you do. I'm sure I can speak for many when I say thank you for inspiring me to get up and get out there and for showing me all the adventures that await us. ❤

[@evazubeck]

So happy to hear that!

[@eric_seguin]

I'm saving this video for the scenery. Living in Louisiana you tend to treasure mountains. lol Your voice is mesmerizing and the take on the natives is very much appreciated.

[@acrosome99]

I greatly enjoyed this return to your best format- providing insight into an uncommonly visited location. I look forward to more.

Dutch Harbor was the focal point of a struggle between the US and Japan in WW2. At first, Japan thought the Dutch Harbor operation would draw US forces away from the South Pacific (it didn't) and then Japan thought that they would hold on to the area as a spring board in case they ever mounted a North American invasion. It was for that reason that the US ended up putting on an operation to get Japan out of Alaska, period, to keep them from being a future annoyance.

Sometimes I wonder if she should have adopted Wilk. She seems to leave him behind all the time.

[@vynleshmynle7372]

She shouldn't have adopted him but it gets "Likes" We will soon see an episode where with many tears she finds someone to adopt him where he will have the wonderful life he deserves. Mark my words.

I don’t know if you know this but when putting your earplugs in pull the top of your ear up and it will open your ear canal up a little which helps the plugs get all the way up in there. Give it a try. It helps. Love your channel Eva. Keep up the great work.

[@markj10]

Nice you got sun! Being up here I’ve seen 7 days of in 3 months, but it’s amazingly beautiful and magical! The folks of Alaska are very warm and friendly❤ Thank you for sharing 😊

[@memecat84]

Watching your adventures brings out my inner child excitement. You are amazing.

[@jegirsherwani2734]

It was captivating… staying here definitely will come relief❤

I worked for the Alaska Marine Highway for 20 years in the administrative department here in Juneau. In all that time I never got the chance to travel this particular route. I have been on board the Tustumena for familiarity tours when it made calls here to Juneau. It is probably the most spartan of the fleet as far a luxury is concerned. In the Southeast part of the system the ships are a little more lavishly appointed.

[@judahculver]

This is crazy, I was just in Kodiak for the past 2 weeks. I just got home today. And it’s weird because Kodiak is where someone shared your channel to me.

[@graemetowner7257]

boredom forces the brain to be creative...whenever my 9 and 11 year say they are bored, i completely ignore them for 20 mins and guess what, you look up and they have invented a game, painted a picture or built something. Have been following your adventures for years and they are still fresh and an inspiration, thank you.

[@TheDrKKool]

Great production, editing, music, pacing. Informative and entertaining. Go Eva!

[@torasuncion5385]

i love it, not even a boredom. Its more of a great adventure and exploration. You re a great explorer

[@sarinjo01]

I cannot understand how does somebody from National Geographic or someone in that industry not contact you and offer you to do tv documentaries. You are such a good storyteller. I love your videos!

[@sbkir]

Wow Awesome. My husband lived in Dutch Harbor and King Cove in the Aleutian Islands until he was 17. His parents were school teachers.

[@charleshagman5025]

Eva, love watching your adventures. I get to see parts of the country I would not otherwise get to experience, even if it only through your videos. Thanks for taking me along with you.

[@claravonessen5673]

Loooving it, Eva!! The editing was insane, those fast images matching the music, just wow! Really creative and a joy to watch. Can't wait what adventures this trip brings!

[@Restless_Being]

Wonderful, Eva!! This is the type of content that captivated me and brought me to your channel. The editing, mood, and soundtrack of the videos are superb. I'm eagerly looking forward to your next video. Safe travels!

[@javiercarrillo2156]

Glad you did this!! Looked so peaceful. In a world where we are always on the go, we need to learn to slow down and appreciate things like this!

[@jonathanhernandez4304]

I wish I did this when I was your age. I'm glad I found your KZbin. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I'm now fond of your phrase, "looking forward to being bored" Since my career seems to scream, "looking forward to being stressed"......

[@totallybonkers]

Love the content ❤ Can't wait for next week. Vilk is on vacation 😂

[@MrSecurity111]

Thank you for taking us along with you on your adventures. I long for the time when I can enjoy the luxury of just being...I really need to take this trip- eventually...

[@jcobol314]

every video in every place that I see you Eva I love you more and more. The way that you see the world is so amazing. You are one of the greatest human being that I’ve ever known. I can’t imagine how fantastic you are in person.

[@jessieandtalie]

You are wonderful Eva. Such a warm and adventurous light unto the world!

[@calm713]

Of all the States, Alaska is THE ONLY place I definitely, 100% never want to go to. I get enough miserable weather down here in the north-east United States. But good luck to you up yonder! Hope you enjoy your stay there.

[@marcofamaonline]

I’m so in love with your life and places you visit and the top notch quality of your videos Eva. You’re unbelievable. ❤

[@KomalSanjeev]

This has to be one of my favorite videos of yours. I love the idea of boredom. I almost crave it.
