Anchorage Longboard Tour (Coastal Trail) - [Living in Alaska Day 6]

This 25 mile longboarding trip was well worth it. I took the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail from Downtown Anchorage to Kincaid Park, a smooth 9 mile path full of natural beauty.

I am in my 70's now and pretty much housebound. Taking this trip with you today has been the highlight of the month. I have you on my big flat screen TV and it's like being there. Thank you for the wonderful adventure. I love you both, and of course the babies. The dog and the cats.

[@8o8inSquares]

You're the only vlogger I am watching, and I am enjoying it, so inspiring. I've been watching you since you've made the short film about weird walking :)

[@LiveEachDay]

I'm glad you're enjoying the new vlogs! I'm really enjoying making them too. :)

[@901AiAudio]

Can’t believe it’s been 7 years since this vlog! Was such a hard time in my life and these vlogs helped so much!

[@DonVerhagen79]

Metal detect that ground was exact the same thing I was thinking. Go for it. Greetings from The Netherlands GL&HH Don

[@coastercrutchfield]

Hi Cory, I just wanted to say that I've always loved watching your vlogs and videos, and recently watching them have really given me joy and hope in life and that I will have a future. My girlfriend recently just broke up with me, and in less than a month I'm moving from Dallas TX to Southern California for college, and that's going to be such a huge change for me; not only living on my own for the first time, but also being so far away from home as well. Even though it's by choice, I couldn't help to be nervous and scared about it, and doing it while being heartbroken doesn't help. But seeing that you've taken a big change, and how happy it's made you, it's truly given me hope that hopefully I'll be feeling the same way, and that this change for me will be exciting and new, instead of scary and dreadful. Thanks Cory for spreading your happiness to others like me. Andrew

[@drewmaki95]

I loved that shot of you longboarding with the plane over head. Your vlogs capture the essence of life.

[@amynewman9266]

I'm so glad your posting again. I am sure we can all agree we missed you and your ALASKA videos! I'm learning so much about this beautiful State. Keep Posting dude :)

[@ThePhoenixDios]

Dude, Cory. I am seriously loving these vlogs. Been a fan for a long time but where you are now is incredible. Love your editing and goes so well with the scenery. Very happy for you buddy.

[@Zsmart]

Such a beautiful part of the world.

[@LiveEachDay]

Zsmart Indeed. I had no idea it was this pretty up here until I came.

[@YellowMellowMG]

AAAAAH I LOVE YOOOOUUU OR I LOVE WHAT YOU SHOW OF YOURSELF AND WHERE YOU LIVE AND IT LOOKS SO AWESOME LKJÑSHFDGÑA

[@LiveEachDay]

***** I'm glad you like it!

[@Joe-gf7co]

Hey what was the dance music at 11:16 .. please?

[@KeithMarrocco]

I remember cabooses. Yeah, I'm that old. I love exploring Alaska vicariously through you. Especially the beer.

[@helenar8404]

I don't think I've told you how much I've love these new vlogs. Makes me want to go to Alaska myself!

[@lypscratchlyp]

You look so happy longboarding downhill, breathing in the air. So great!

[@kellingc]

It is so nice seeing someone enjoying just being somewhere. I love the way you edited this, too.

[@canhamo35]

You just radiate happiness these days! It's pretty contagious man ^^

[@TheJenbr]

Such beautiful scenery!

[@TaggarungAk]

Thank you for making these vlogs Cory! It's so awesome to see someone fall in love with my home state. It also reminds me how amazing my home really is. Thank you Cory!!

[@AnimagiMj]

Yay! New vlog!! Great scenery, and everything looks so fun and interesting. Seriously making me jealous.

[@kandycandy1]

That is awesome footage! I would love to visit Alaska, I put it on my bucket list. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@Gothicvampyressgwen1]

I am so glad things are working out for you. Virtual hugs for you and the kitties! I hope the kitties are doing well.

[@mana_surge]

Loving these Alaska vlogs Cory! Everything looks so beautiful, and it's great to feel like we get to join you on your adventures! (It's funny because I don't watch any other vloggers and never thought I would, but I love your vids!)

[@prospectivesound2389]

Watching your blogs really gives me hope, I get so happy seeing you happy. I been watching you since your aquadots video and I just love you man. Ive been going through a rough time lately with a harsh break up and this really helps me.

[@EmmaSol94]

Oh yeah, we have those flowers too. On sunny days with wind, that fluff is all over the place. :3

[@dolcevitausa]

continue living the happy life dude…all the best

[@mariajosesanfeliz]

It's so beautiful!!! I love your videos!!!

[@MiamiGirl]

Ur adventures make me want to do things I've never had the guts to do. Thanks for the inspiration. U rock.👾

[@CaptStefan]

Hello Cory!! This was one of your best videos in ages! :) I loved it! Thank you for showing us Anchorage! It seems you're gonna love it there!! Keep up the videos!!

[@TwitardGirl]

With every new blog you have me wanting to go to Alaska! The trails are also making me want to find a trail around here and bike it. I kinda live in my own little box and don't step out of it much. But you make me want to try new things! Well your vlogs have always made me want to try new things. I think I'm going to start! -Emma

[@3Buffylover]

I cannot WAIT to see how Cory reacts to the winter!

[@DigtyDog]

Alaska looks beautiful! Thanks for sharing this with us Cory :)

[@TheMokubaCosplayer]

That trail looks like the perfect place for me to go rollerblading!!!

[@supercasual68]

DUDE I LOVE THE ENDING ESPECIALLY!! HILARIOUS!! :)

[@doryld]

I just love seeing how peaceful you are now Cory :) It really does seem like you have found your right place! aaaand I can't wait to see how you're gonna react to wintertime :P I live in Norway and we have much of the same weather as Alaska..so I think I can say that I know what you're going into and it's ..yeah, it's gonna be a lot of fun to watch :P hihihi

[@Oneminde]

It's so cool that one can follow another persons journey and adventures. Moving is a often a big step in someone's life and being able to follow, you and you'r girlfriend in this case, is really exciting. Looking forward to seeing the house you will by. Bought for you since it has already happened, but I've only watched this far. :)

[@madalex26]

Wow! What a place!

[@sweetspice06]

I would love to visit this place one day...it's beautiful

[@bolokla]

this is different..i love this place..

[@safelysomewhere]

Few things I haven't seen before, but alaska and BC have alot of resemblances! ESPECIALLY the fireweed!

[@mattheiser8916]

Thats a big dream but i still would love to visit at the least love ur vids

[@BlakeGJ]

A flagon of mead sounds like a great way to start a day off! It would take a lot of it to get me dancing on the sidewalk!

[@MartijnTetaert]

looks you two are verry happy there. Thanks cory for sharing :D greetings from belgium

[@Amanda---]

ive been starring at that eagles claws for 10 minutes trying to see 1971...HELPPP

[@Rwededyet]

It's the 'empty space' of the right cuff. Just 71.

[@jeremydwayne]

the leg on the right side, say 71 its not in the talons themselves, but above. Think about pant legs and you should see it.

[@Amanda---]

thank you

[@mizuko2001]

Took me a while to find it too. Even with the clue above... ^_^

[@RoyalGuard4619]

JeremyDwayneIRL omg its so clear now

[@AngelaBrinker]

Wow. I totally missed this the first time around. Although I didn't start watching until several weeks after this, I went back to your move when I found your Alaska videos. I've been trying to figure what's different about your videos now (besides the obvious, kids, Oklahoma etc.) These vlogs seem freer. Not just in the sense you had more freedom because you didn't have kids so much, but less overly polished. You just did whatever, and didn't seem like you were so worried about packaging it. I do really miss your exploring. I know that really is something you can't do so much anymore and granted, here you had a whole new place to explore. Still you talked about all the different things in Oklahoma before you moved and we haven't really seen much of it.

[@alphabetatiger]

The winter will be very interesting for a long time California resident. Heck 200 miles from the Arctic Circle it would be interesting for a North Dakota resident.

[@kristoph17]

Awesome Cory! Always love your longboard vlogs! You must have been super parched after that ride eh? haha.. Just think, in the winter... you can cross-country ski those trails... probably!

[@MiseryHaze]

This was great and what an Awesome place n.n

[@metallitech]

Nice informative video. I think this video may turn Anchorage into the next major hipster destination.

[@desulv]

too late. it already is

[@youguystookallthegoodhandles]

When you said "This place smells amazing," I half expected you to faceplant into the bushes...

[@XParisxInxFlamesX]

Looked like a beautiful trail. ^-^

[@alien11able]

Love your vlogs!!! :D

[@Tomasz_Piekarski]

Metal detecting that place would be awesome! Just set the iron disc to 40 and sky's the limit. Or the wild bear is the limit. :P Btw. the epic dance music made my day! :D 10:50

[@Luqman90]

Thanks. Somehow I needed this. Can't explain why though

[@ophiruchus]

I went to those two places you visited at the end, but nearly 10 years ago!

[@tomcat167899]

I was having that cabooses/cabeese argument with myself before you said it, made me laugh heartily!

[@BuildsByThomas]

for all the people that don't see the 71' in the eagle, it's not in the claws it is in the right leg of the eagle above the claw, if you look at the left leg you will see a lot more lines in it, try to compare the left leg to the right leg and you should see it, hope this helps.

[@cyn4476]

Thanks, this helped. Another tip, it's not the black part, it's the unpainted part.

[@lypscratchlyp]

I was worried about my sanity there for a minute. Thank you sgtTH0MA5 and Cynthia Podmore ! Finally saw it!

[@seriousmax]

hahaha, this dancing guy is really good

[@RunLikeSheeka]

Wow long boarding is an awesome way to get around :)

[@RVSD1984]

I'm happy for new heres to a new beginning for you. yes i to don't like living in the cites i hate it specially when i go to phoenix. haven't been to cali in a long time. but just by living in towns and stuff i like less people around. alaska looks beautiful. would been awesome if my husband got stationed out there but no haha

[@Relocin]

This inspires me to go on walks with my dogs and explore

[@emiswiftie13]

I want a long board and a husky dog, so far Alaska is gorgeous. I want to move to Alaska now. Kristen is so adorable you are a lucky guy btw I'm a girl and I've been watching your vlogs for a very long time and I love them.

[@ALIENstoleMyBeer]

That's a lonnnnggg ride. Lol Gorgeous view though!

[@GrouchyGander]

At 4:12, I was like "Doesn't look very steep. Go touch the water!", but then "Okaaaaaaay, maybe not..."

[@ashworth614]

We have those fire weed plants in Britain, but they're called rosebay willowherb here lol. I didnt know they had any use, thats pretty cool.

[@ribson6800]

Reminds me for where i live in finland.

[@Maiju17]

- Alaskassa näyttää olevan aika samankaltanen luonto. Maitohorsmia ja koivuja :) - Alaskas nature seems to be very similar to Finlands nature. Fireweeds and birches :)

[@katrimarjaana82]

In a previous video I was talking about how this place reminds me of Finland. Well, we also have fire weed, alot of it. We don't do anything from it, but we do have one old song about it, and I think that song gave it its nickname, bums rose (bum, as in a person, not a bodypart...:D )

[@MrChief101]

Longboarding in with no good plan out is how they make all those mysterious skeletons found in the woods... Nice music cue for dreamy-eyed wonder. Considering how long I've been watching, it's easy to forget that you're a filmmaker. Yes, sure-- I know you spend extra time and equipment on your more serious (albeit occasionally goofy) shoots-- but this is you with a stalk-mounted GoPro and your editing suite. So that's nice. Still very much enjoying these travelogues. Interesting question about detecting. I would ask around, there may be local ordinances against it. But it is salvage. On the other hand, these were businesses and households-- are you ready for what you find? Also, they should be pretty deep, between the original jumble and openings then all these years' overgrowth.

[@LarsAKApotet]

Hi Cory (: Love from Norway

[@agnes998]

When you guys get settled in, let me know what Kristen misses from TX and I'll see if I can send some your way. Salsa maybe? Real salsa! LOL

[@Amanda---]

not wrong--its been long enough to give owners the chance-and maybe if you found something cool you could try to reunite it-nice to see you happy-

[@callmenaty]

Ah, so you call that plant "Fireweed". In Russia we call it "Ivan-Chaj" and we used to make tea of its leaves. Such tea tastes better than the one from a tea plant.

[@LiveEachDay]

Grinpaint What does Ivan-Chaj mean in Russian? I know it's called a bum's flower in Finland apparently.

[@callmenaty]

DudeLikeHELLA Nothing like a bum in Russian. Chaj means tea, Ivan is a Russian name. So its something like 'Ivan's Tea'.

[@lasthope5683]

well that's most of Alaska back then Alyeska at winter time was the longest snow bording now sense there is less snow it rearly a place to go to.

[@UpCountryLass]

I feel it would be fine to do some metal detecting there. If you found something of a personal nature, it would be So cool to either find the owner's family, or find a museum that would take it!

[@Joeph]

11:08 Now all we need is the "Buy My Bikes" guy.

[@Rwededyet]

I would check with the locals to see if there is a local taboo on metal detecting. Also, that looked like a very poisonous mushroom.

[@karelpetr]

Amanita muscaria :) I didn't know you have those in US :D and yes it's a bit poisonous :)

[@Bishpo]

now you're back on the longboards i just realised, do you ride Goofy? That's the best way :D (high five)

[@KatsPickJewelry]

I understand what you're saying about the place for metal detecting, Cory. I would just ask if it is legal to do so, and if it is, go for it!

[@TheChoisington1]

Okay so when i saw you pull up to that restaurant i was like OH SHIT i wonder if he knows there is a chocolate waterfall across the street that thing is HUGE.

[@agnes998]

Oh, and I think the earthquake site is the perfect place to do some metal detecting, because you're the type of person who would seek the owner if you found something that might be identifiable. You should - if the natives are ok with it, of course.

[@HTIOGranka]

Those fireweeds are known as a poor man's rose in Finland. They are very usual in Finland.

[@linnd.johansen]

They're common in Norway too :)

[@janisa1205]

I fell on that trail twice 😀 2 minutes apart

[@MrsMMKlink]

Don't put up with the snow, embrace it.

[@RedMclaren]

Cory, are you going to end all your vlogs with food? You're teasing me there! :P

[@tacha3490]

I have AT&T and can get service in the bush out past Fairbanks towards and even in Manley hot springs

[@LiveEachDay]

Tacha It just depends on where the cell towers are.

[@killer527full]

YAY on my birthday :) ^-^

[@forridersofsatan]

happy birthday

[@killer527full]

forridersofsatan thank you

[@RoloFilms]

Cory, fair warning. Maybe you already know this, but those plants you show at 4:30 look very much like plants we in the Netherlands call "Bear Claws". There is a reason we call them that and that is because they have poison on them. Touching them will give you a pain resembling that of a bear attack. Falling into these plants could, in extreme cases, even kill you. So be careful with those! :) (I only give you this warning because you seemed to not knwo these plants judging from your words) Also: Stop making me jealous! I want to roadtrip so baaaaad XD

[@Starcraft2outlaw]

I think I'm going to take up long boarding after watching you enough

[@kapperbeastYT]

snow time is video game time

[@BlackCat_2]

That fire weed was lovely but the creepy eye I saw in the dirt behind them wasn't. :p If you can't find I can take a screenshot maybe and point it out in the picture. I would ask first before doing any metal detecting there. On the other hand you could try it and see what happens. Just hope you won't be breaking any laws and get a ticket or arrested. :p - Heidi

[@shorty4ever3]

The only problem I see with the metal detecting is I don't know if you would get in trouble for it. A lot of Alaska is federally protected forests and I dunno if its against the law to dig up land. I know you have to be extremely careful when you go gold panning cause in some rivers you can't high bank and others you can. But in all honesty I think you would be ok with metal detecting. I'm so glad you are loving it up here, it's such a beautiful state, I have lived here all my life and my breath still gets taken away by the scenery

[@LiveEachDay]

S Briggs The only think I'd be hunting for in those protected parks would be gold. There's A LOT of gold here apparently.

[@authornoellenichols]

This makes me want to pick up my skateboard (a friend lent to me so I could learn to ride it). I'm still, unfortunately, very, very awful at it. Balancing is hard!

[@authornoellenichols]

Also, thanks for all the information. I felt like I was visiting Alaska! :D

[@zIHaXSaWIz]

What temperature is it normally, when you where long boarding it look fairly warm

[@finalxcx]

Caboosi i believe is the technical term lol.

[@TheFireheart44]

i think you should metal detect the earthquake site it would be cool!

[@amuelaasher4675]

ooo maaaan u are now my second fave youtube blogger for out-door vid scenes :-) my first fave is "without the snow dogs". I love 'full-screening' the vids and pretend I'm riding along. Big thank you!

[@LiveEachDay]

They are very sweet people. Glad you could ride with me! ;)

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

Awww how sweet!!! :)

[@akhockey7740]

I live in Alaska and I ride that trail a lot every time I see 1 or 2 moose its an adrenaline rush👍🏼

[@Anothering]

Oh man, I started laughing hysterically when you got to the 9mi mark. I've done that so many times... haha. Also thank you Cory! Loving the videos :)

[@danielsimpkins9662]

Bro, I gotta admit, I came to your channel because facebook told me I should check out your video about you skipping rocks on that frozen lake, and honestly, I've spent the last 5 hours watching your videos. I really dig your life.

[@mlnsrm]

I just realized you are the person I've been watching for the longest time on KZbin - and I'm honestly really happy about that.

[@lilyjameson5156]

Great virtual tour, Cory! I felt like I was longboarding right along with you! It's really cool to see you so genuinely happy and inspired by your surroundings. You make me want to move to Alaska. But I'm sure I'll change my mind as soon as you start sharing your winter vlogs. ;)

[@KatsPickJewelry]

So glad you're happy there Cory! And thank you for your adventures there with us 8-)

[@LiveEachDay]

Kat's Pick Jewelry No problem and thank YOU! :)
