Amazing video guys. Most of what we see of BC is the mountains and forests, but it was so lovely seeing some coastal shots and a bit of the culture!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! It was amazing to visit these places for the first time from somebody who grew up on the island :)

What a beautiful little town and the story about the totem poles and the museum was awesome to know. Thanks for another wonderful video.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank Yoli! It was a fascinating place to visit.

[@Truebadour]

I really enjoyed this video. I visited Alert Bay in 1994, and enjoyed seeing the both the changes, and the areas that were so much the same. Thanks!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much Maggie! That is great you visited in 94. I can imagine quite a bit has changed.

When my sister graduated in 2007, my grandparents were here for a visit, and we ended up taking a day trip to Alert Bay to do some exploring. As a young lady, grandma had worked as a nurse at the hospital as part of her training, which definitely made this a special trip for her

[@karlabritfeld7104]

My dad worked in the hospital too. And I was born in the hospital. We lived in that 100 year old white house that is right next door to the Namgis original burial ground. Ask your grandma if she remembers Karl who was the lab technician at the hospital.

[@daniellevandermolen350]

Love seeing my childhood home in vlogs thank you

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks Danielle! So cool you grew up in Alert Bay. Have you been back recently? I was raised in Gold River. Just loved getting to a chance to visit for the first time.

[@daniellevandermolen350]

Haven't been in 18 years but now live on Denman island, will be going up once covid19 slows down

[@NenaLavonne]

Amazing history! Beautiful share! ♥️😊✨

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! We felt very fortunate to visit Alert Bay. I wish we had a few more hours to explore.

I love Vancouver ! I was there 2013 ! I went also to Butchart garden! And those pretty design poles!

[@samuelandaudrey]

That is so cool to hear! We end up doing that on our last day. It is a very impressive garden.

[@GonzaRRK]

Thanks Gonzalo! It is a special place to visit for sure.

I've been working in Alert Bay and my wife and I shared this video (along with Nice Shot's 4k videos) with my toddler to show him where I go when I leave home. He loves watching all your videos about Vancouver Island. He calls this video "totem pole!" and it is one of the few things that can hold his attention for a full 12 minutes. He's learned the phrase "good morning guys" from you and likes to shout "foot!" when you say that you can explore the island on foot. He also makes sure to point out Kovu the cat. He kept shouting "Por qué no!" near the start of the video (he is bilingual) and it took us awhile to figure out why. It turns out he heard you saying "Port McNeill" and he figured that that must be what you're saying.

[@drew5059]

That cat you filmed was my cat Kovu, I named him after Kovu from Lion King 2.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Wow! Thanks for sharing that Drew. We loved meeting Kovu.

[@ImVeryBrad]

Man, I haven't been to Alert Bay in over 20 years. My mom started her nursing career here. Spent a few summers running around on this island

[@samuelandaudrey]

Wow, that is cool to hear. Hope you can revisit again soon.

[@ImVeryBrad]

@@samuelandaudrey my sister lives in Victoria. So it's not out of the realm of possibility. I would like to one day

[@karlabritfeld7104]

I was born in the old Alert Bay hospital and my dad worked in the hospital as well. We lived in that old shabby white building next door to the burial grounds.

[@lisaholloway4187]

Wow. The totem poles are gorgeous

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks Lisa! It would take tremendous skill to make them.

Nice one guys. Sam what lenses are you using with the GH5? I've got the 8-18 2.8 & 12-60 2.8

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks Greg! Great to hear from you. Recently added a G9 with 35-100 2.8 to go along with the GH5 and have the 8-18 2.8 as well. I've retired the 12-60 for our current trip to Argentina but missing the versatility of it. There is a weird middle ground gap with the two lenses we have now; however, it is so nice having a proper zoom though. Are you thinking of getting any additional lenses soon?

Are you going to post this trip to your spanish channel? I'm an intermediate spanish student and watching your vlogs in both languages really helps. I was born and raised in Comox and live in Victoria so I've been everywhere you've gone so far. In 2015 I went whale watching on a small sailboat out of Alert Bay, it's too bad you didn't get to that!

[@samuelandaudrey]

That is so cool to hear Chad! Best wishes with your Spanish studies. We'll be putting this series out in Spanish as well but quite a bit later. It is going to break up two big Argentina series we're finishing so likely sometime early next year. Ah, going out on a boat from Alert Bay would have been awesome.

Man why'd you guys stop with the food vlogs? No offense but that's why I subbed. For the food vids as I'm sure many others subbed for that same reason

[@samuelandaudrey]

Hey Richard, thanks for the honest feedback. To be honest we'll be going back full-swing into more food vlogs after we're done with this series. Actually our last two episodes of this series are food heavy but we do have a few more that aren't.
