I fished out of Dutch Harbor in the 90's. It was a great experience. Everything else in life has been easy after that. I wish I could share all of my experiences but it would take too long. It looks like Dutch has changed a lot. The one thing I try to describe to people that ask me about commercial fishing is the feeling of being in a quasi last frontier. Little, to no police. Ingenuity. Being rugged. Loneliness. Always longing for someone or something you miss. Dreaming about your future. It changes people. We called it the Aleutian Stare...lol

I was always happy to arrive in Dutch and even happier to leave. Lonely barren wasteland. No place to live.

In my younger years I was fortunate enough to spend some time in the Aleutian islands while in the U. S. Coast Guard. I was lucky enough to get to Dutch Harbor, Adak and a few other places. It is absolutely a place you either love or hate. I loved it. It gets in your soul and doesn't leave. I'd love to go back some day. I was only there for a short time, but I miss it.

[@Mrbfgray]

Bro of mine used to talk about Dutch, he did the crab fishing thing for a few yrs to put self thru engineering college. Somehow a memorable scene. They were once holed up with a number of other fishing boats in a remote natural harbor to ride out a killer storm, 2 of the boats letting cabin fever get the best of them, were talking on the radio about leaving for open ocean, going home, while other captains tried to dissuade them, "We won't be coming to save you as we will die with you if we do." 2 boats left anyway, hours later radioing distress calls, they were getting severely iced up and ready to capsize. At some point you can't break ice off fast enough from superstructure and the boat is simply doomed to roll over. Not sure if any were rescued but many died. On average one boat per yr was lost out of Dutch a few decades ago, I assume it's better by now.

[@JohnDoe-jh5yr]

Your interview with the captain was a treat. I appreciate how intentional you are with capturing the essence of a location, including the people who live there.

i never had the opportunity to visit Dutch Harbor but I was further out in the Aleutians in 1961-62 on Adak, Alaska. It was very remote. It was frequently referred to as the birthplace of the wind.

Really nice video work! I spent seven years on a research ship with the federal government studying mainly migratory seabirds but pretty much everything else, too. The Aleutian people's culture, whales, sea lions, archaeological digs, the effect of foxes on the ecosystem of the islands, even some military research. Like the people interviewed said, the weather is king. It dictates what you do in almost every aspect of your life here. I was lucky enough to have visited over eighty five islands in the years there, all the way out to Attu at the end of the chain. Besides the daily work ( I was one of two deckhands on the ship in a crew of six) we hiked everywhere, took pictures and video, worked alongside biologists and even got in a day or two of water skiing each season! I often think of the Aleutians as a cross between Ireland and the moon. Oh and Eva, Anchorage isn't the capital of Alaska, Juneau is.

Eva, if that's a Ford Escape, the back seats ( section you actually sit on) fold up and forward and then can be taken out altogether. Once they're removed the backs of the seats fold down all the way, and you can sleep back there perfectly flat. I'm six foot, and have camped in my Escape for weeks and slept very well. Also, once the back seats are taken out, the front driver seat goes almost all the way down. That's also a great way to sleep. Sorry this is after the fact, but maybe next time you rent an Escape you can try that.

Challenges make peoples special but some accept & some avoid…it depends person to person. In this episode I like your hiking challenging part & interaction with locals. Magnificent Landscape. It’s a worth watching …Thank you

I live in Alaska & been in Dutch Harbor, those mountains are deep, just to go all the way up there it takes all your breath😅... "To live in Alaska, you really have to think a lot about you, after a while you find the strength to be in between beauty and this unique place on earth.." Good luck from Alaska! ❤

Eva, thank you for this totally amazing and inspiring video of such a remote and beautiful place. I am amazed that people live quite happily in such a harsh climate. Enjoy your journey. Regards from Cape Town.
