Broken RV Fridge? It could be an easy fix! | RVing Whittier & Valdez, Alaska S9 || Ep231

[@TheRm65]

I suspect my story will resonate with you guys. I've watched your videos for years (they're great!) and seen your kids grow up to be young ladies, and I've often thought that I really should try RVing. But the time was never right -- it never is -- and now I've learned I have very advanced Stage 4 prostate cancer. Pretty painful stuff. Trying out the RV lifestyle is no longer an option. So, if anyone reads this, if you're thinking about doing something like RVing . . . just do it. The time will never be "right" and if you put it off, well, sooner or later we all run out of time. At least I can continue to enjoy these videos for awhile and vicariously enjoy the travels of the Nickersons. Thanks for the videos.

[@tinacathey8241]

Prayers go out to you. I hope your dream of rving can happen even if it's short.

[@roger80465]

Cory calling Jess 'Big Mama" makes me wonder how he has lived this long. 🤣

[@lig8817]

I follow quite a few vloggers on youtube but love your channel the most - always a treat to see a new video up. Thanks for sharing your fantastic adventures especially in Alaska!

[@shawnlindholm1415]

The timelaps was great. Alaska is a place people always comes back to or they just never leave after seeing it.

[@michaelkraus5984]

Never get tired of glaciers. Walked 100 yards INSIDE one in Switzerland. The Swiss think it's cool to bore a tunnel into a glacier, because they can. Wonderful!

[@lynfl9814]

Alaska - just incredible. I'm so glad you (and us) got to see Denali. Wow, it was way higher than those mountains in front of it. Alaska is breathtaking. So, wonderful to get to enjoy it through you guys.

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

Your timelapse and drone footage when Denali finally peeked (peaked?) out - gorgeous!

[@mambisquickRob]

The hammer, axe, meat tenderizer is just smart. Everyone knows when you're living in a camper you need to conserve space. I'll bet that multi tool has other uses too but you just haven't let us in on it yet!

[@mickeym2380]

A hammer is any tool that is used for the purpose of pushing, beating or forcing something into its assigned place. Pliers, axe, wood and rocks are a few examples😁

[@kathykeene2092]

That’s thrilling to see Denali! Thanks for sharing.

[@shawndyer8387]

1:45 That axe is actually formally referred to as a rigging axe (we always shortened that to rig ax). Used often by rough framing carpenters. Warning, if you use that to ever drive nails, my personal belief is that the inventors of corrugated head hammers must also own stock in Band-Aid. Do not hit your finger! Also, as always, beautiful footage of Alaska.

[@TomSpurlock]

Grill, hot and fast. Smoker, warm and slow. Great video, awesome videography. We were there in July 2024, but we didn't see you.

[@debbieldecosta]

Thanks for posting the meet up!! We had a great time!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

We had such a blast with our Outback Crew! So fun to visit and to be able to show everyone the Lineage! Thank you guys so much for coming!

[@freedomontheloose]

"It's Hammer Time!" Awesome views as always! Great video! Thanks for sharing and safe travels!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

It sure is! That thing is going to get a lot of use!

[@theathjr]

2:26 the old “hammer” looked like an Estwing leather wrapped hatchet from my childhood. My Dad had one. RIP Dad. Thanks for the memories. Sorry I had to pause the video and comment. I didn’t notice it in the original video❤️👊

[@grayfox9911]

Great Video as always! Thanks!!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

So glad you enjoyed it! This was a super fun one to edit and relive! ☺️

[@paulab984]

Forget 24 ounce framing hammers! Cory's got a 5 pound framing hammer! Love it!

[@jerrydaminato743]

We do the same grey water thing. Awesome views...make me think it's time to go back to Alaska...

[@snowbirdlady7221]

Just amazing! I'm torn about going to Alaska because I love the mountains, but I hate endless rain.....So glad you are having such a wonderful trip. I think you have checked all the boxes! Thanks for taking us along.

[@luminousveiws]

Our similar Denali viewing gave me a new appreciation of the translation "The High One." We thought we saw just the peak and later saw the real peak floating high above all the other mountains!

[@lizcort5047]

30% club ! We were in Alaska in May, spent 4 days in Denali NP & we were blessed to see the top of Denali several times. Great memories

[@FindingOurSomeday]

So happy that you got to see so much of it! We are so grateful for our 2nd and actual glimpse!😂

[@rllb17]

We were in Kesui Ken for 4 nights in July, saw Denali every day from there and the Sourh viewing area. Kesugi Ken was the best, we stayed in Tek CG inside the park and never saw the mountain

[@terryderush2657]

Thanks for the adventure ☺️.

[@stevej7139]

Nice video! Back in the old days to help block road noise in car/truck we would have the dealership add a spray on undercoat of a tar like substance, helped a lot. I think you can still get it done or probably buy it in a can, just mask off any moving parts as this stuff can throw off the balance if you got it on say a drive shaft.

[@RVingwithLuck]

Amazing views. Glad you got the fridge to work.

[@KathrineSmith-t1v]

My husband used that type of axe for shingling shakes on houses. It’s a great multi tool. 😊

[@markyeater2247]

Enjoy your journey guys love all you be safe our refrigerator wasn’t working in our pre-trip and I found a fuse behind the refrigerator. We have a 2021 Forest River impression to a 280 RL that fix the problem.

[@Tidbit01]

Another great video. Denali is awesome to get a glimpse of. You all managed to record the rig of “Two Tired Teachers” as you passed the Alaska State Fair. Their rig was in a lot by itself, off to the right. They put a special paint job on it. They just found finished Alaska in the summer as well. Safe travels to you all. Happy Holidays!

[@Jack-EricVandenbroucke]

Just discovered you guys searching Alaska travel plan AND doing so with a Lineage 😊 I took the time to see all other episodes with this new RV. Following your episode with the fridge, I’d like to hear you about specific experience with : black tank management since your are boondocking a lot, bathroom management with 4 !, what about solar panel, battery autonomy with all of you inside, average mileage (saw the 14mpg in mountains, but what about on “normal” ground ? What about driving conditions with high wind you experienced : sway, etc. Electronic Control experience with or without the iPhone app/Wi-Fi on the road ? What about sound proofing in the coach (with parking in/out) or thermal insulation : propane needed ? Well, you see where I’m getting at. Maybe a small side video for the technos among us looking to buy a Lineage ?

[@Mick.Porter]

The views are wonderful, the rain not so much. Because you're in an RV and my plan is to do it on my Goldwing, that kinda limits the time I can spend up there. My BIL's brother lives in North Pole so I'll have to talk to him for the best months if I go. He and wife drove here to MI on his Harley this past summer but stored it and flew back because the wifey got sunburned in the midwest. I missed him bc he spent most of the time at the family farm in the U.P. and down south at another brother's house. btw, if you watch Amazon for one of the fridge coolers, you can find some low prices. I got one for under 200. I ran it for a day to test and it used only 20% of my 300 watt Lipo battery backup.

[@cindiwebber4556]

Love this series. Grilling looks great! What do you season your chicken with?

[@ejs6010]

Beautiful travels!

[@tinahedges685]

We need a cookbook from you all! Please? Love you guys! ❤

[@rusticalaskans6814]

We’re leaving Alaska next year. Whenever I get homesick I’ll just watch your videos. 😂😂😂

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Where are you guys headed? Thank you so much for watching!🙏🙏🙏

[@rusticalaskans6814]

@ starting in Washington state then California then Nevada and ending in Iowa

[@FindingOurSomeday]

@@rusticalaskans6814 sounds like an adventure!

[@rusticalaskans6814]

@ yes. Can’t wait to see all the family

[@jacquiebush8220]

I’m really enjoying your video today. Reliving my trip to Denali. We had beautiful weather had no trouble seeing Denali. My daughter lived in Anchorage for 7 years, I wanted to go to Whittier but I never made..

[@wendyrobertson-c6m]

Hi ya'll, Jess, Denali in the first nations Koyukon Athabaskan language means " the great one" or " the high one". The name is central to their creation story and is gendar neutral. The Koyoukon Athabaskan indigenous tribe have been in the Alaska for several centuries according to the National Park Service. Yall have a great adventure, happy trails and safe travels!

[@billysprague6219]

Praise gawd it is gender neutral.

[@jeanr7089]

FYI-Valdez is pronounced “Val deez” out here in the west.

[@lyndcason7516]

Great video. The views reminded us of driving all of those same roads this past summer. Four months from Texas and back in our Solitude & F450. We thought the best views of Denali were from Talkeetna (except for our flightseeing tour and Glacier landing).

[@davidfase7095]

I just love you guys. Great video. Some day would like to have a review about the sprinter. I cant wait to get my new T - Shirt! Take care.

[@markyeater2247]

Enjoy your journey guys love all you be safe

[@rasalas2x]

The Carpenter's Half Hatchet was popular with framers (carpenters who frame houses) years ago. They were well liked in California and became nicknamed as a "Reagan Axe" maybe because Ronald Reagan campaigned with an axe promising to cut taxes.

[@ernie7065]

Talkeetna... stay at a campsite in Talkeetna until you know Denali will be clear... then drive up to Denali. 100% guarantee to see Denali. AND SPLURGE by taking a plane ride out of Talkeetna to see Denali. Two choices: land on a Denali Glacier or fly higher on a fixed wing aircraft. Yes, I have seen it 3x from Michigan

[@philenglish8916]

Your vehicles always look great. Any tips on removal of really bad hard water spots on our full paint fifth wheel. Thank you , love the videos.

[@pamellis6497]

Thank you so much, I love the mts live in central Colorado at 7000 feet. Will never be able to see Alaska.

[@alanhester9984]

Denali is only visible 20% of the time if that so it is rare to see it. I lived in Fairbanks and you could drive up to the University and see it on a clear day.

[@brianacker7318]

That tunnel is cool and the views are awesome. What is your speed of the drone when using while driving?? LOL "Big Mama"

[@johndoyle6697]

Hi again . Will you get to go to Nathan and Marisas meetup down in Florida. They are showing their new 5th wheel there. They showed it on Dec 1 Titled We added 20% more room to our RV. Marisa got her tub and a side porch among other things.

[@thesandsie13the2nd]

i thought that was mount Ellison ( my favorite mountain in Denali but I'm biased. 6 summers worth of bias)

[@johndoyle6697]

Hi guys. When you washed the rig did you get the undercarriage too. At least a blow off with compressed air. Enjoyed this video. Beautiful photography as usual.

[@johnrork2467]

What camera are you using on the tripod shoot pictures of Denali?

[@stephaniethompson9396]

She's gonna get you for the Big Mama comments. 😅 better sleep with one eye open 😂

[@lynetteromine6755]

When will you all be in Hawaii???

[@ernie7065]

oh well

[@anthonyguess5528]

Are you still using open roads transponder? We can’t get anyone to return our call or email

[@FindingOurSomeday]

We are. Is there a problem or are you just trying to sign up?

[@ernie7065]

ps... the south view is better

[@dalehuber6281]

Just found this channel, and what an indoctrination!

[@bobabooie6389]

👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@scottkylelittle6105]

Great cinematography as always. One critique, your sound ( Talking when driving ) is terrible. There must be a microphone out there that can cut or reduce the background noise. Please don’t take this personally ( I’m a subscriber and have enjoyed your channel for 4 years or so ) as I am no expert when it comes to sound! Just my observation.

[@On-down-the-road]

Sorry, looks like my mothers cooking. She is bad about cooking compleetly, till dry. Both chicken and pork. Give me jucy and delicious.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Dude, med/med/rare on the steak and the chicken done just past opaque, that’s the perfect amount of juice 💦. Maybe the video quality ruined it . I did overcook the onions though 🫣
