Hunting Grouse & Cooking Moose Heart at Alaska’s Knik Glacier

[@bearmerica6668]

These kids are learning the Alaskan life. Allan will make them into an Alaskan family in no time.🙂

[@BagsPackedFamily]

Thanks for the encouragement! We’re so excited for the kids to embrace the Alaskan lifestyle and all its adventures. Alan is doing an amazing job showing us the ropes, and we can’t wait to see how they grow into true Alaskans! 🌲❄️

[@mariazaldarriaga8177]

Right Kelly I hate peoples throwing garbage everywhere especially toilet paper. Nature is so beautiful we have to protect it❤ love this video so much ❤

[@BagsPackedFamily]

Absolutely agree!

[@sunny96789]

Now i feel like traveling to Alaska! Your videos are amazing

[@jeffreymcmurray1285]

This video is fantastic! What a cool friend you have. Great job family!

Alan is the best!

[@SonnyStewart-d6i]

Thanks for taking us along your trip!

[@kittybreath]

Kelly has a supreme tolerance that many vegetarians could not/ would not have with meat eaters, even family members. As a fellow vegetarian with a meat-eating family I applaud her.

[@BagsPackedFamily]

Thanks, Kittybreath! Kelly is very supportive, and is enjoying the Alaska lifestyle.

[@nancyfarkas3592]

It’s her family. Why wouldn’t she be tolerant?

[@kittybreath]

@@nancyfarkas3592 because vegetarians can be grossed out at hunting, dead animals,.meat. Something you might not understand if you are not a vegetarian.

[@joannerobison5273]

Such an amazing ride and beautiful scenery! Your friend is a wealth of knowledge and I’m sure he has stories to tell. Another great video!

[@jamuga99]

Love to watch the kids take the wheels on this video. Not too many parents give that experience to their children. Understandbly, not too many Forest antics on this adventure. Staying tuned for more of your videos.

[@nancyfarkas3592]

Because it’s not always safe to do so

[@AlaskaMyHeart]

Hey guys!! What a super awesome adventure wowww!!! ❤ looked like such a wonderful time. The glacier is so blue and beautiful. Breathing views. Take care catch you in the next awesome adventure!

[@Ida_crocker]

Absolutely amazing vlog. The atmosphere is giving out mindful vibes. Granite,Cider & Forest will have beautiful memories.You guys should write a biography about your adventure as a family. Anyway Thank you very much for sharing it with us and taking us along your great adventures. ❤ Sarawak, Kuching.

[@alicefernandez1058]

OMG, the sight of the glacier is so amazing, wow, Thank you BPF

[@BagsPackedFamily]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@carolyngregory9354]

Wow, what a trip through the mud holes. You and Kelly are such great parents to your kids, by exposing them to so many different trips to so many places. They have a lifetime of memories.

[@BagsPackedFamily]

Thank you so much, Carol!

[@donnamullins1271]

Oh my goodness! You all are living the life!!

[@jlouie5308]

What a nice adventure and allowing us to join you , as many of us will never have the opportunity to experience it. Kelly is truly the teacher at heart: engage the adventure into a lesson about birds, respect for the environment, remember to pack out the trash. She's always so cheerful and full of positivity. The family is so cohesive in sharing the experiences in Alaska ; and learning to live off the land. Alan is the man to share the Alaska experience. Would love his recipe for the marinade.

[@BagsPackedFamily]

Thanks for the kind comment. ☺️

[@connieosburn6886]

Learing so much in Alaska, the children are loving it . Kelly, I am with you. Why do people trash and throw things everywhere. We need to protect and keep the world clean .

[@BagsPackedFamily]

You are so right, Connie!

[@RiverDanube]

I had to cover the screen when, now I can’t even write it. It’s distressing. I’m no vegetarian but I really felt for Kelly and all that she perseveres with. She’s so strong. The scenery is amazing.

[@BagsPackedFamily]

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment and kind words about Kelly! Although she is vegetarian, she fully embraces the hunting and fishing lifestyle we’ve adopted, supporting our efforts to live off the land and stay connected to nature. Your recognition of her strength means a lot to us! We’re also glad you enjoyed the beautiful scenery-Alaska truly is incredible. 🌲🐟

[@HistoryBuff2000]

I've Never Tried Moose Heart, But I Have Had Elk, Whitetail Deer And The Hearts From A Few Others. Very Delicious When Cooked And Seasoned The Right Way. So Another Awesome Adventure For The Books. I Can Hardly Wait For The Next Video.

[@BagsPackedFamily]

Thanks so much! Moose heart was a first for us, and it really surprised us with how tasty it was-seasoning definitely makes all the difference. 🧄 We love hearing about your experiences with elk and deer hearts! Sounds like you know your way around wild game. 🦌 Thanks for following along on our adventures-we can’t wait to share the next one with you!

[@angelasofia7726]

What a great trip! Allan is a pretty amazing friend who will help you become Alaskan experts! Great preparation on the kits and the toilet paper is a must! We have to protect nature and clean what we find... Fantastic! ❤ The kids....❤...always the best!

Your family need warm clothes and gloves hats and scarf to come for winter. I hear it's really snow up in Alaska. Your family will see the snow when it come. Also make sure your family have enough food in. Once the snow come there. The roads are hard to drive in with the snow. And also make sure your family have good stuff for the winter. Check the windows downstairs in each bedroom and make sure the windows are OK for the winter with snow. Do you have a shove for the sidewalk and maybe look for some rock salt for your stairs and sidewalk to help with the clear it. Barb Vancouver BC We get lot of snow down here. And it's hard to move around here.

[@BagsPackedFamily]

Thank you so much for your thoughtful advice, Barb! We’re definitely gearing up for winter with plenty of warm clothes, hats, gloves, and scarves-it’ll be our first real Alaskan winter, and we’re excited to see all that snow when it comes. ❄️ We’ll also make sure to stock up on food and supplies, just in case the roads get tricky. Thanks for the reminder about checking the windows-we want to stay cozy inside when the snow piles up! And yes, we’re planning to get a good snow shovel and some rock salt to keep the sidewalks clear and safe. Stay warm over in Vancouver! It sounds like you know exactly what we’re about to experience. 😊

Thanks, Deb. I appreciate that. A few people thought the grouse was a little over the top. 😬

[@debyorkshirelass9674]

@@BagsPackedFamily Some people were probably sensitive to the subject. Maybe they need to take a leaf out of Kelly's book. She has her own views in life and follows her own choices but she also seems to accept that others have choices too. Which is a huge strength of character. You guys are nature loving as well as nature living. Not all good comes from the supermarket. 🙂

No, I didn't mention it. On the straights, we were going around 20mph. Slower in the willows.

Oops, you forgot to blur out you license plate out...😬 The way that Granite does not hesitate to try unusual new foods is so great!

Kelly looks so tiny next to the men. Jonathan seems to be mostly high protein and Kelly is vegan or vegetarian. That dynamic is a mystery to me (not my business) but I appreciate the respect you have for each other and how you accommodate one another’s food choices.
