Home Sweet Whittier | Vsauce's Michael Stevens Has A Field Day

[@Vsauce]

Fun fact: it's overcast in Whittier, Alaska more than 80% of the year. Cloudy days are SO COMMON in Whittier, in fact, that residents simply call sunshine "cloud failure."

[@FynnderWander]

Vsauce you are my hero michael

[@the_last_chancer]

Vsauce That's what we say in Wales too XD

[@hbergwerf]

Amazing! I gotta visit Whittier one day!

[@FieldDay]

Vsauce They could band together with Seattle to create a new hashtag!

[@thecarbdude4085]

Vsauce I read that just like you would have pronounced it in one of your videos

[@AtheniCuber]

'They get into the fudge room' 'What's the fudge room?' 'It's where the fudge lady makes her fudge.'

[@FieldDay]

+Athenic Cuber We loved that line. It was like "Duh, where she makes her fudge, obviously"

[@palacsintakat]

When he said fudge room I thought he meant fudge as in f*ck. Kind of like the oh-shit-bar in a vehicle. I thought maybe it was an underground room of some sort in case things go wrong. That might be what he thought too.

[@1Yooter]

Those fudging bears tryin' steal our fudge!

[@DeathBringer769]

So I can safely enjoy fudge while the zombie apocalypse goes down? Road trip to Alaska if it happens then and hope you make it :D

[@mickmickymick6927]

I thought he said 'fledge'

[@EdenNeedsAYoutubeHandle]

[@Kazeteiru]

This place is beautiful, went there in June. Went for a walk straight up a mountain from the camp area, ended up gone for 7 hours without realizing it. Climbed to the top of the mountain ridge there till the cruise ship in port looked tiny. Didn't see a single person the entire time up, pure beautiful magic.

Prove it

[@jesse1593]

Jarom Sosa the BTI has 14 floors but there is no 13th floor he doesn't say that but it is true but you wouldn't know cause you dont live there and I do plus there is a school behind the BTI so shut up

[@Iaro67]

I don't mean to be rude. I just want to hear from a real habitant from Whittier how it is to live there (it's a whole new world for me, and surley, a very interesting one!) What do you mean by there is no 13th floor? I just read from a blogger that the 13th floor houses (in part) the June's Vacation Condo Suites www.outsideonline.com/1840326/would-you-be-could-you-be-wont-you-be-and-why-hell-does-anyone-want-be-my-neighbor (3rd paragraph)

[@squeaker7071]

i wish you would have spoken to some of the residents...especially the fudge lady

[@QwertyuiopThePie]

Bea Overton He was speaking to residents for almost the whole video. Sadly no fudge lady though.

[@squeaker7071]

QwertyuiopThePie I don't mean people who are in charge of security, I mean just regular people in the city, especially the fudge lady. Like shop owners. And I would have liked to see what the homes look like on the inside.

[@QwertyuiopThePie]

But he did. Only a couple of those people were in security.

[@SammSheperd]

"Thats where the Fudge Lady makes all our fudge"

[@hadynmcquade6862]

I went to Whittier last summer, and it seemed very friendly and a lot smaller than you'd think (just a few blocks). Everyone seemed relatively happy and they served great coffee.

[@strangekid35]

Ive actually traveled to Alaska and we went and saw this place and tried their fudge

[@ApexHerbivore]

Ben Unnerstall Cool!! did you meet the fudge lady?

[@strangekid35]

BobSkiz1 no but the lady who sold the fudge said she only lived their in the summer. It was actually a very interesting place it had a couple restaurants, an ice cream parlor, and beautiful scenery

[@ApexHerbivore]

Ben Unnerstall Nice, I'm envious. Would love to visit Alaska.

[@slader1662]

Ben Unnerstall How was the fudge?

[@theActionMovieKid]

Vsauce - You're the first channel I ever subscribed to on KZbin. You really made me realize how valuable the medium could be as an educational platform. Has your success allowed you more help on the production side so you're more free to just "wander and wonder" - or do you prefer staying pretty hands-on?

[@Vsauce]

Action Movie Kid Oh hi Action Movie Kid!! I've been able to get help with editing and occasionally production. I'm still very hands-on, but things look better now that I have help :) (like, say, the person holding the camera in my recent video). Usually I just have a camera on a tripod that's close enough to me that I can press record without moving out of focus lol.

[@theActionMovieKid]

It's so cool to talk to you! Do you travel for the purpose of specific shows, or are you able to create and find stories wherever you decide to travel?

[@Vsauce]

Action Movie Kid usually I find things in the places I travel to for shows/conferences/etc. Whittier was actually the first place I visited purely to explore and document.

[@andyjones7121]

I never would've searched for,or watched this type of video without being pointed to it (thanks Michael). Hiwever, it was really great! So many questions. Electricity? Water?Medical services? Where does everyone work?

[@combustiblelemon882]

Andy Jones I believe it pointed out that the people run their own businesses out of the building. To me it kind of seems like a city confined to a single building. It would be a really cool experience.

[@andyjones7121]

Combustible Lemon seems opposite of "a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there". Probably not much to do visiting but I'll bet the residents all know each other, almost 0 crime, and a great sense of community. It seems like the kind of place where you don't ever lock your door. Heck, I wonder if they even have police!

[@combustiblelemon882]

I think it said they had police, but I imagine they don't have much to do seeing as how everyone probably knows each other. I kinda wanna live there. It's a place where you can live life the way you see fit.

[@Kcalmari]

Andy Jones You should check out the 2015 series 'Fortitude'.

[@rdplymire]

Andy Jones There is a clinic in the same building where everyone lives. Yes there is a police force and a school, electricity, city water and sewer. It isn't the end of the earth (but sometimes it feels that way). It is only an hour and a half from Anchorage. And....few people actually work there, and those that do work for the government, the city of Whittier or in tourism during the summer. The tourist industry is very lucrative during the summer months (there are quite a few cruise boats that embark from Whittier for Glacier tours). But, the winter and the winds are pretty unforgiving. The worst night in my life was in November, spent on the 15th floor of the Begich Tower, with 80+mph howling winds gusting to 125mph. Yipes...and BRRRR!

[@BeanDar]

[@jyrza14]

That place looks so peaceful. Mind blowing video! Hopefully everything goes well with the people who lives in there.

[@Porter-Morgan]

I have actually been to Whittier with my Dad once. We went in the dead of winter and I remember thinking how the hell people could live in such a remote place. And my god that tunnel is really long! They have it set to where there is 20 minutes of traffic one way, then 20 minutes of traffic the other way because it is only wide enough for one lane. Great video!

[@john_jarvis]

Michael Stevens, I love you. You've inspired me to pursue Neuropsychology from my Bachelor's in Neuroscience and I've watched all of your videos about 4 times each. I don't really care for celebrities, but watch out if I ever see you on the street. Keep doing all that you do, John

[@etmax1]

I was in Switzerland recently up in the Alps and found this quaint little village nested in a valley by a lake with spectacular views and they built a massive in-door rifle range but not where you would think, they put it in the wall of a few billion tons of granite overlooking the town. Why? Because they can!! They didn't have the excuse that drove the establishment of Whittier, they just didn't seem to be able to agree so they put a 300m and 150m rifle/pistol range and a shooting cinema as they call it. They might not have moved as much rock as Whittier but they did it for far less reason :-) People are just amazing

[@goblinkillahd8396]

There IS a post-apocalyptical movie to make arround this place. Imagine the war everywhere, this place sealed to avoid it, and governments trying to dig the mountain to get inside ! A bit like 2012, but it could be insanely good.

[@cedarpoplar7443]

Raphaël Pyrat It was a bit amazing. Seems like there is no other way out. By ferry, helicopter or through the claustrophobic freaking tunnel. You know though!?, is that one building where everyone lives in. I mean, they got school for their children in there. They don't have to leave the premises.. Just imagine growing up in that sort of environment.

[@shaymarie990]

Check out high rise on hulu! This town reminds me of the movie! They all live in one building similar to this!

[@thestreamlife3504]

I live in alaska and have been to Whittier many times. I go to valdez which is a 6 hour drive from anchorage or a 3 hour ferry from Whittier. Its really.... magical to go through the tunnel.

[@RubixCubist]

This building gives me Tiny Tower vibes...

[@creepernerd101]

I've lived in Minnesota most of my life, and my family and I recently moved to Arizona. I miss the snowy hills in the winter so dearly, and my fond memories of skiing with my closest friends. Seeing those hills really gave me the feels. Great cinematography, and hey, its freaking Michael Stevens! How awesome is that?!

[@HansLemurson]

This reminds me of how I build my forts in Dwarf Fortress.

[@FieldDay]

HA!

[@quattno1506]

My grandfather was born in Whittier before Begich Towers was built, and lived in the trailer park that was there. He has pictures of when his family would have to tunnel their way out of the house because the snow was so deep. And every morning the military would fire off a howitzer cannon at 7:00 directly next to his trailer. Then walk across the street to school.

[@zeeotter100]

How did 'Whittier' get its name?

[@Vsauce]

zeeotter100 It's named after the glacier that sits above the town (Whittier Glacier) which is named after the poet John Greenleaf Whittier who wrote the famous line, "For all sad words of tongue and pen, The saddest are these, 'It might have been'."

[@masters5312]

Vsauce Thats an amazing line. "For all sad words of tongue and pen, The saddest are these, 'It might have been'." as a writer ( hobby ) that line i just cant see my self topping or even coming close to.

[@yaltschuler]

[@jordanjamison97]

zeeotter100 Because whoever designed this was Whittier than the others, and named it after him~~

[@joshuagoodsell9330]

I stayed here for 3 days last Summer when I was working on a tender boat. We had to tie up for a few days while we had repairs done on an engine. It rained the majority of the time - I definitely know what you mean about claustrophobia! We did drive to Anchorage a few times though. The area is beautiful, and really the whole state of AK is.

[@c.f.7227]

I live in AK... and close to wittier. There are truly isolated places in AK, and wittier is not one of them. Think of it as more of a gated community, just outside of the most populated place in Alaska. Its cool and all, but in and out is easy and walmart and any modern amenity is just a short skip away in the big city. Its easy as just driving through the tunnel. In a state of wild inaccessible places...... wittier is an easy, paved accessible town, a nice hour ride from the largest population in the state.... all these KZbin vids make it seem like its at the end of the world. For us.... its a great place to drive down and launch your boat from..... far from "isolated"..... you just start your car and drive there.

[@BrandanTheBroker]

Yeah I live in Anchorage and it's not exactly isolated, Nome is isolated, Diomede is extremely isolated, oh and our other city Seattle 🤣

[@joelproko]

Are tunnels so rare in the US? As a Swiss, they are as common to me as cellphones are. Sure, they're quite a technological achievement, but so are cellphones. And both are quite widespread here. Still, I'd admit the 17km long Gotthard tunnel is quite impressive.

[@DeonGaming]

joelproko I guess it's common for you because your country has lots of mountains. I bet Norway or other countries maybe have them too. But for the rest of the world it's pretty uncommon and very cool.

[@AmongGhosts]

Omg. More videos like this. I especially like the beautiful video with Michael's voice over explaining it. It's very peaceful. I'm jealous of people that can explore and do things like this. I wish I could. Great video though.

I just came back from an Alaska cruise and whittier was the last stop, we're we would get shuttled to Anchorage or go to tours from there. I saw this video first but didn't put it together until I saw the tunnel and had to wait for our side to open! Very cool experience being in Whittier. Hopefully cruise ships loading/unloading there will help them out in the summer with tourism.

[@DavieMarshall]

Hey Vsauce , Davie here. Loved the documentary style on this video. Would you ever consider branching off into this kind of area in the future? It seemed as though you enjoy having that increased freedom away from your usual approach.

[@Vsauce]

***** I would love to do more exploratory / documentary style stuff in the future. I learned a lot by making this one and have since started a list of topics and places I'd like to explore next. Always with a focus on the tech/science/mind-blows waiting there, of course.

They could leave any time so why stay? This is something I could never understand. I'm pretty envy of them but I'm happy at the same time
