Don't you worry about bears? You are a great dad your sons will always remember their special times with you.

[@AlaskaBoys]

Yes I worry about bears. Usually I carry a firearm or bear spray.

[@loustoneberger8921]

Splitting the money! Sounds like my grandsons😋😋thanks for sharing

[@AlaskaBoys]

😂

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Good job spending time with the boys! They will always remember how much you cared!

[@philipmccumbee3624]

Good video. To much work for a little bit of gold. But, being with your son was priceless.

[@AlaskaBoys]

Truth

[@OnaMuir]

Mark, Please keep doing these adventures with your sons! Absolutely priceless. 🥰

[@AlaskaBoys]

Thanks 👍👍

[@ChumStun]

Wouldn’t be a Hamm outdoor adventure without stopping for wild berries! Great video, the boys are so lucky to have two fantastic parents full of generational wisdom.

[@stewartfield1386]

STOL planes and Gold panning... classic Alaskan father-son bonding! Love it haha

[@paulinemaclellan8204]

I named my stick 'Sticky'...what an adorable wee boy he is x

[@jeanchavez2952]

I really enjoyed your video so fun ! You son will have this as one of a best all time memories with dad ! No amount of gold can do this ❤😂🥰🙏🏼

[@AlaskaBoys]

Thanks 😊

[@tedconroy5074]

Mark, the adventures with your family are solid gold. I love how you take the boys on their own little trips. Weston is amazing how he jumps right in to help, please keep doing what you're doing we love it!

[@AlaskaBoys]

Thank you Ted

[@rhondawhitmer1538]

I love these videos where you just pick up and go!! Your right. The best nugget on this trip was spending time with your son!! It's great that they are always out getting physical excersize and not just sitting on their bums with an electronic babysitter!! My husband is the same way with our grandsons!!❤️❤️

[@mandyhopkins9027]

Brilliant, love the bond the boys have with mark,

[@carlmoseman671]

So good to see you adventuring with your son,keep up the good work! God bless!

Dude im not gonna lie. this is the most normal father-son youtube channel so far... lol

Great stuff! 👍

Looked like a great day with your son. I love gold panning and sluicing. 17:20❤❤❤

[@debbiemiller7342]

Wahat an awesome trip for you and Weston!

[@belindaroberts3090]

Making memories is definetly worth more than gold

[@AlaskaBoys]

What if we could do both???!!!??

[@belindaroberts3090]

@@AlaskaBoys gold would be a bonus for sure

[@SusanMatthews_TiteChatte]

You're an awesome Dad, Mark. The true treasure is the moments spent with the ones you love. Even better when you have one on one adventures. Weston needs to find a woodworker who can turn "Sticky" into a walking stick. My Papa used to make walking sticks and a Marine friend of my Dad's (RIP❤️) made a cane for my Dad years ago that my Mom gave me after his death. Special memories are made from special moments. Yah's Blessings ❤️

[@AlaskaBoys]

Was stuck was enjoyed by Weston in the backyard for a few weeks until it disappeared one day. So much joy from something so simple.

Awesome video. Love watching your family.

gold or no gold those days are priceless

[@marcellahicks3984]

Hi Ho!! Hi Ho!! ALASKA BOYS GOLD RUSH is On!! I was expectin Weston to taste his hatchet like Yukon Cornelius in the Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer movie. The memories are pretty great on this trip. I love the picture of our Alaska Boys Prospectors. Weston is really starting to contribute to camp set up. He might be able to carve a little with his Birthday present in that walking stick. Or make a little Totem Pole Story about your Adventure. Don't forget the part about Dad worrying about the Bears while you slept soundly. Thanks for taking us along. Never went Gold Prospecting, hope we can do it again sometime.

[@AlaskaBoys]

Thanks Marcella.

[@tamekadavis9051]

Heyyy family here watching 👍😊

[@RusticAdventureBelize]

Amazing video. Looking good Father and Son time. 😊 keep going strong 💪

[@malisajohnson7250]

Weston's stick he wanted to keep truly looked like a walking stick that someone had made back in the day. Also cool deal on finding gold.👍😎

[@AlaskaBoys]

That stick made it home and was a source of joy and contention with the boys for a few weeks 😂

[@rockymountainlifeprospecti4423]

Hello and heavy pans from our homestead/mining claimd at 9350ft in altitude, well you have taken it to the next level by flying to the destination (almost). Much respect AK

[@brucemccann830]

Pop tarts....paid for!!! Awesome video, please do more!!!

[@AlaskaBoys]

Any excuse to get some pop tarts! We never eat those at home, so it was a real “treat”.

[@shirleymack8651]

Great video. I loved it.

[@timthompson8297]

Nice family. Little boy is lucky to live like that.

[@dant153]

Making memories are priceless. Thanks for the great video. God bless. Any moose yet??

You’ll just have to wait and see. 😛

[@mandywhitton]

Love mark ❤❤❤❤❤

[@mandywhitton]

I Agree Mark keep Doing 👍 your Videos and I love all of Lauren Videos we will miss the boys now back at school x 😢 💙

[@donaldperson948]

Nice plane brother you need a lot of gold to pay for that!

[@barb8335]

I thought the mosquitoes 🦟 in South Florida were bad! Those Alaskan mosquitoes are healthy looking little buggers.

[@AlaskaBoys]

They were really bad in the evening and early morning.

[@bobbylong4443]

Well you both worked hard but getting outside together is what counts 😊

[@whereandwhat2444]

Wow thats great!

Guys who are doing with their kids are awesome amd exempt from ridicule

Access to a plane... awesome !!! Love the adventures!!

[@cynthiaburton1971]

Westie🥰

[@PATTYO1221]

Wow this was another really cool adventure! I was envisioning earlier settlers doing this while u explain the mining process. If anyone did strike gold would that even be public information? Is there a certain amount that you have to claim were u mined it? Just curious if I stuck gold, I'm telling NOBODY! 😂😂

[@AlaskaBoys]

Most the public lands mining spots are on old mining areas that have played out from a commercial standpoint, but still have a little color in the dirt. I probably wouldn’t be making videos if I struck it rich!

[@debbiephillips1123]

These videos are all wonderful! I'm really impressed of how knowledgeable you are of the resources in your magnificent state of Alaska! So much to do and enjoy! Love watching you teach your sons and enjoy learning about everything as well. So interesting!

[@donnamacleod2947]

Love your adventures with the boys! Looks like you and Weston had a great time! Look forward to seeing more adventures!

[@AlaskaBoys]

Thank you Donna

[@DanielHunterUSA]

What you need is a Dredge .I got a 4” Keene Would be my dream go dredge over there

[@AlaskaBoys]

You are right! A small dredge and a wetsuit would work really well there.

[@DanielHunterUSA]

@@AlaskaBoys I wouldn’t go smaller than a 4” inch I have a 4” Keene and is amazing here in Indiana we don’t have much gold But I have fun .with a 4 you can move a lot of material and get good gold

[@tinawarren275]

I finally found vlogs I absolutely love watching. You’re an amazing father and I absolutely love all your adventures with your family. I noticed you always mention bears. But I don’t see that you carry a gun on you at all times. Is that necessary ? Please keep doing these vlogs. Huge Fan from Oregon.

[@randy1ization]

the places who sold the shovels made the most money..

[@michellewilson4815]

That was a wonderful adventure. Great memories to be made with you and your son. 💕💜❤️

[@AlaskaBoys]

Yes it was! Thanks for watching!

[@dazzlingfreeman8903]

Nice vlog. Aside from gold, Alaska is Bear country as well isn't it?. Aren't you worried about your safety. Seeing your kid with you my guess is you've visited that place many times before. BTW this is my first time watching your vlog.

[@AlaskaBoys]

Bears are definitely on my mind when going out like this, especially along a river with spawning salmon which attracts bears. We actually saw a large grizzly while flying home, about two miles from our campsite. I usually bring a firearm or bear spray. This was a little scary of a spot because the noise of the river makes it impossible to hear animals, even if they were close by.

[@anothertime9542]

just upgrade the Keene box to the super with legs and the classifier. I know it costs but the time saved by set up, weight, and trying to classify stuff is money well spent. I am too recreational gold panner, but I went from using the stock a52 . but got sick of classifying with screen and bucket. switched to an electric min-max and that was good as it did classify for me. took a chance and upgrading to the new KT10 trommel just to make it more relaxing. Just to let you know, I still use the a52 with the trommel but with the upgrades it does catch more gold. loved the vid, wish I could be up there, I get to go gold panning once a year but want to make the most of it. My point is , upgrade the slues to the a52s, ... you will not regret it. Thanks again. um.. when are you going to invite me to go with you.. :)

[@AlaskaBoys]

Sounds like a good idea. Classifying takes a lot of time. Where do you prospect for gold? What region?

[@SpectrumRob]

Great content! What about bears?

[@AlaskaBoys]

Oh, they were around but thankfully we didn’t have any problems on that trip.

[@majorronaldmandell7835]

Being in Alaska, one would think that there would be a lot more gold in your pan. I watch the “Flour Gold Wizard” who is based in the extremely scarce gold state of Wisconsin, and he comes up with as many as 50 flakes of gold per pan, especially on the beach of Lake Superior.

[@AlaskaBoys]

I’m no gold wizard, so that might be part of it. Also, most of ALaska doesn’t have much gold, you really need to know where to look. It’s a big state.

[@michaelyoung1681]

❤❤❤

[@MitHawk-yp3pe]

The moss is where you didn't look.

[@CORE1.8MINISTERIES]

I don't know how many days you did this before but if I were you and you were doing it for 3 days. I would work on doing 90 buckets full everyday

[@AlaskaBoys]

I hear you, but I needed to bring a few more boxes of pop tarts to power that kind of activity. Maybe next time.

[@jamienorris007]

I'm 12 seconds in but I would say no.

[@AlaskaBoys]

Spoiler alert!

[@thebushbunker]

wheres your side arm or pepper spray at the minimum for bears?

[@jennieglud]

How do we get some shirts????

[@kelliepineda9822]

I bet you dump a bit out you seemed a Lil to aggressive

[@AlaskaBoys]

I definitely have some to learn. It’s a balance between moving material through and being methodical.

[@shirleyk6009]

I sure hope he’s carrying a big firearm for the Grizzly’s

[@SammyGDude]

Dude, best dad ever. like wtf. bitchin!
