My wife and I were on a tour bus just south of Anchorage the other day. I saw you and your truck house on the highway. It’s very recognizable. I old the tour guide, “hey, I know that guy”. We were on our way to Seward to embark our cruise ship. We had a great vacation.

[@TruckHouseLife]

nice!

[@christymartin3846]

❤ I did the northwest passage cruise with my grandfather in 1997, he said that the only way to truly see Alaska is to drive it!! Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 for that trip one day ❤😂

[@chandraestrada9707]

I enjoyed a good job Tim

[@farmingforfun9534]

Here I am, a grown man sitting on my couch. Watching another grown man sitting on his couch eating crab. Lol

[@joannebutzerin6448]

Who thought watching someone eat crab legs would be so fun! You do a fantastic job with your videos--shooting, editing, and lots of content. Excellent!

[@jefffuhrman7903]

A good pair of kitchen shears is a must for king crab legs. You can cut right along the shell and the meat meat will come right out.

[@debbiehenson227]

What's the good life without, the good food❤❤

[@karenmackie9665]

Did I hear right? You live in Alaska, and this is only your 3rd time having Alaskan King Crab?? A true luxury! My mouth was watering!

[@TruckHouseLife]

yup!

[@dianewolfe3056]

I would eat it every week!

[@BobvanT]

Timmy, you have been eating with thousands of people watching you and we can vouch that your appetite and table. manners are perfect ! 😅

[@pnwusa]

aaaahhhh!!!! alaskan king crab! delish! whoah!!! that was a super fun bike ride! my heart is racing! thanks! i knew you weren't gonna eat it but... there were moments when it was a wee bit ascary!!! continued travel mercies and blessings. 🕊

[@ionecuff6323]

I don't live next to an ocean (I'm in the middle of Arizona desert), but my son lived in Washington for several years. He had crabbing & fishing license & learned to cook crab. He would could the crab in a huge pot of water, then removed them from the water and drop into a huge pot of ice with a little water. He said that it would firm up the meat and also make the shells brittle and easier to crack. My mouth was watering from the moment you pulled the crab out of your fridge. Nice to see you eating so well and ENJOYING EVERY BITE!! LOL! Having 3 sons, I know how important food is to you guys! LOL! Stay happy and please take care of yourself. Take my word for it, all the injuries you are getting now will come back to haunt you a hundred times over as you get older.

[@DillonHuskins]

Things keep going the way they are you will have beach front property in Ari-zon-a

[@ionecuff6323]

@@DillonHuskins I live right on border with Cali. I just need to walk across Colorado River & I am in it, but I haven't been there in probably 15 yrs, & that was to our camp spot in the desert where my sons placed a monument they had made for my hub after he passed. I haven't been back since.

[@martingonzalez5901]

Do you happen to be from yuma 😂

[@ionecuff6323]

@@martingonzalez5901 Yep.

[@shelleyirving2094]

I live in sw Washington and have had crab lots of times but never tried the ice water. I'm gonna try that next time!

[@johnlafleur9251]

That was fantastic! I've had crabs plenty of times, but that was when I was young and wild. 😮 Love the fork technique for cracking the shell! Next time you might want to put some of that delicious Irish Butter in a separate foil tub during the last couple minutes of grilling. Dipping your crab in melted butter is ecstacy! Loved the drone work! As a former actor I can truly appreciate all the set-ups these videos take, especially since you're alone. Beautiful job! Thank you!

[@keiththompson8922]

My grandfather worked through the great depression and raised four children. He was born and raised in Iowa. He fought to feed his children and then fought in WWII . Sometime in my teens, we took him to a restaurant in San Francisco and he ordered King Crab. He said that was the most work he had ever done to get his food.

[@jerrilynnhenry4942]

Love crab looks so good I am envious of your lifestyle have fun

Oh I’m a ravenous carnivore when it comes to my sea food especially king crab legs 🤤🤤🤤

Melt that butter! Then dip & feast. So messy & delicious!

Thanks again Timmy for the adventure and the yummy Alaskan King Crab Legs

Glad you enjoyed the crab legs... My mouth was watering, I love crab legs!! Love your channel. Always looking forward to your next post. Hope you have a great day! 🙂❤️🙏

I've got Cherokee Indian ancestry, and that's what I tell people when they see me eating with my fingers, I'm Indian, nuff said LOL! Gawd them crab legs did look delish!! 🤩 Be safe, and Happy New Year!!! 🥳✨🎉🎊

[@MsRadar23]

I just found your channel Timmy you are truly awesome 🤩 🎉❤

[@susanboger7874]

Yes peel all the crab first ! Then just dip in warm butter 👍❣️

[@ellenosceola5707]

When I make king crab, I melt the butter and squeeze some lemon into the butter. Melted butter is much better than just rubbing butter on it.

[@deannavalentine4976]

Ohhhh,ohhhh yummmmm !!!! I like mine dipped in garlic butter.

[@Sting72]

Oh my word..delicious looking crab legs! Great video. Love the birds chirping at the beginning.

[@ericlohr6036]

"I don't even want salad..... I'm good". lol! Guess I'm having surf and turf tonight Timmy. :)

[@lesliethurston2151]

That G.F. tee bests king crab. Total radness!

[@Walls120973]

Oh wow! I would actually get into mountain biking if we had a bike park like that near me in the southeast. In Georgia. Very nice.

[@WakeDoub]

You got a Ripmo!!! (Wife and I ride ripleys) love it!!

[@thisoldbelair]

King crab, campin, and a little mountain bike pov to finish er off. This vid was like a three course meal and I can’t wait for more 🤌🤌

[@MeganKenny18]

In our family, we use kitchen scissors to cut the shells off the meat. Just cut lengthwise down the side. Really helps reduce the mess 😊

[@LaVaqueraMarin]

OMG!!! SOOOOO GOOD!!!!!

[@thesmokinsalmon]

Should be catch and cook! I always think of fishing and hunting when I think of Alaska

[@pathfinderdiscovery9395]

Ice cream an you tube , sounds great Timmy , man we see u in the next ,-‘ thanks for sharing part of ya day with us , later bro

Quando hai parlato dei granchi blu mi è venuto da ridere😊. Vivo in Italia e da pochi anni siamo stati invasi dai granchi blu...che non sono dei nostri posti, ma prolificano , e ci stanno invadendo😂. Al ché sono facilissimi da pescare, e costano sui 5/6€ al kg.

Pretty cool there Timmy

[@Johnyrocket70]

Next time start at the end twist and pull each section it will pull out the cartlidge in the next section and the meat is easier to suck out.
