ALASKA BUMBLE CLUB, pt.V

[@JohnRogersWalks]

What a fantastic series John - great great work

[@haroldsmomsdad]

Epic series of videos, you should do a Q&A again, I'm sure lots of people have questions about your trip and your future plans!

[@roberthill6829]

In awe of the people, the scenery and the film making. Thanks.

[@nobodyhikes]

Thank you, John. Your work always makes me want to go outside.

[@Woodsman9000]

This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. The northern lights are in other videos I’ve seen, but the storytelling that brought us along to that moment, the perfect music that captured the emotion, and a glimpse of what must have been truly awe inspiring to see in person, are why this is absolutely stunning. Thank you John for putting in the effort to make these videos.

[@rebeccakahler6432]

John, your storytelling skills are fantastic. This whole series was magical for me, I cried, I laughed, I worried. I'm gonna watch all of them back to back to back now and do it again. Those northern lights.....wow just wow. Thank you!!

[@RC-qf3mp]

John Z could film me walking my dog around the suburbs. The dog poops, I pick it up. He sniffs another dog. He finds a chicken bone. I take it away. And from the video and music and narration, you’d think I conquered Everest, found the Holy Grail, and defeated a band of pirates.

[@coolthingsbyjames]

I absolutely ADORED this series!!! Amazing job John!

[@p4psm3re]

your content has always been awesome but your editing and film making has gotten to a whole new level. cant wait for whats next

[@lorethehobbit]

Oh my, that Aurora Borealis!! Incredible, so lucky that you cowboy camped that night

[@RetrieverTrainingAlone]

Tok to Healy...now it makes sense to me especially that you crossed the Delta River off the Richardson Highway. Thanks for showing the aurora...we see it all winter long and a reminder how spectacular that is nice.

[@livesoutdoors1708]

John, thank you! Hope 2020 is an amazing year for you.

[@YOGOMANinAK]

Yoo! I found your channel from these videos. I'm an Alaskan and the stigma you mentioned about Alaskan's thinking lower 48ers aren't as tough as us is definitely true. Though watching this epic trek y'all did has changed my mind! Also the light show ya got was epic! I've lived here 18 years and I don't think i've ever seen them like that in the middle of the summer! Also if there's someplace where I could read more about this trek I'd love to learn more about the details of this trek!

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

YOGOMAN I’m Alaskan also but backpacking / climbing in Oregon vs Alaska was a different animal. My first climb attempt in 2006 when I got here we almost died on Mt Yukla outside eagle river on crows pass. Was an eye opener

[@mikemau4272]

Let’s be honest - when we talk about lower 48ers.... we’re talking city folk. Y’all aren’t mall shopping folk. Cheers

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

Mike Mauseth we have malls in anchorage Alaska...🤷‍♂️

[@mikemau4272]

Well Anchorage is a city..... too. Can’t believe they want to admit it.

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

Mike Mauseth anchorage has over 300,000 people🤷‍♂️. Maybe that’s why?

[@willin2]

WoW! So Much Amazingness & Awesomeness, to include the aurora borealis! Thank you for taking the time and sharing

[@michaelharmer8591]

Damn. Absolute masterpiece of a video(s).

[@Lokena1965]

John, thank you for sharing your Alaska journey with us. It was Epic! ✌

[@Pumpenmann]

Thank you so much for this series, John! Just thank you. It was wonderful watching it.

[@rowbradley]

Gritty hike! The northern lights at the end, wow what a show.

[@dogphoe]

thanks for taking us along ❤

[@spearfish]

Thanks for making this series. I could watch hours more.

[@rustybearfox809]

Thank you Alaska Bunble club! Absolutely outstanding adventure. My hat is off to you all!

[@LastStarfighterAJ]

This has been an amazing series of videos John. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Alaska is one of those places I think it would be great to get to hike. I’ll probably never get there as I live in the UK, so I really appreciate you taking us along with you. Looked like hard going at times but you always seemed to be smiling other than when life and limb was in danger!

[@paxtianodirtfrog8947]

Even though I have never done anything near to this trip or comparable I can totally relate to the victory you must have felt when the hunter looked at you and "you must have seen some shit". For me that is f the greatest sense of accomplishment of being an "outsider". Really loved this series.

[@matthewsherman2002]

I bet those northern lights made the whole trip worth it, that’s the type of thing that brings you to tears

[@ChrisBrown-gw5tg]

Wow, what a beautiful and spectacular ending to an adventure of a lifetime. I envy you guys. Great series!

[@OldPackMule]

Spectacular views. Like being on a different planet.

[@jeffschroeder886]

Oh. My. Gosh. John...wow. Thx for showing us this adventure.

[@pauletteskalko5909]

Epic, perfectly captured, as expected, Well done you!

[@jamesfielden7561]

I must say, I have enjoyed this series very much.

[@vickirogerson179]

You guys made me want to go to Alaska, then not go, then definitely go, then definitely not go, then think about it some more- ultimately very happy for the three bumbles, and the shit they saw.

[@RoadToFreedom29]

I have loved this series John! Looked like a bloody awesome adventure!

[@trailcat71]

I'm sad to see this journey end and I'm not even there. I hope someday to see the northern lights the way you guys did. Thanks for sharing:)

[@1776dawg]

The music you make in your movies is beautiful. Ever thought about making a post or video about the gear you use? Would love to know more about that, your writing process and inspirations. Loved this series btw. It’s incredible what you capture, as always.

[@SacWildlife]

great series! your best ever imo - thanks

[@SensatiousHiatus]

Northern lights...amazing!

[@CPMASTER28]

Great series John, cant wait to see whats next!

[@Mam_2854]

Stunning series

[@2323buster]

Great vids John. They have a very distinct feel. I really enjoy it.

[@nathanielfarmer9579]

Thanks for making this!

[@DanNoakes]

Great end to a great series.

[@consciousmatter7584]

Your videos give me good feelings. Feelings that make me want to be you and do these things. Thank you so much fellow citizen, you are cool.

[@climberrob7108]

Great work! And I totally approve of your choices. You got to see some shit!

[@harrisonparker4347]

Enjoyed this series bro.

[@Parker-oc8es]

What a fuckin dream man! I guess the challenge is finding friends like yours. Thanks so much for the hope.

[@brenthelton5674]

Thank you John always cool stuff

[@transit2freedom]

...picking jaw up off the floor

[@b.k.691]

Quite an adventure!

[@nickel0eye]

The story telling aspect was a little "art school" for me, but that adventure was epic and y'all are badass, would love to experience even a quarter of that!

[@sonofamountain2862]

You must of seen some shit! Haha! Gotta love truth that is pure.

[@CalvinWeibel]

This is so good.

[@markcummings6856]

By golly, that’s what happens in Alaska.

[@francescadiana]

I feel sad that it's over 😢

[@taylorwilson891]

this shit is so inspiring. I want to do this.

[@k2thah286]

"You never, like... get as much closure as you want." Word to that. I feel like this is the spirit of hiking, and it's what keeps us wanting more. Please tell me there will be a Bandcamp release of music from this series. Nicely done John.

[@Munkeez]

Great vid per uszjh

[@RDeLaurentis]

Awesome doc, man!

[@consciousmatter7584]

Take me with you

[@thruthebiblewithmicey]

♥️

[@AbleHammer]

Was that ThunderFalls near the end by Eklutna? Did you hike the Resurrection Trail on the Kenai? Lived in Eagle River for 16 years and the Anchorage area. Nice video series John! If you ever go back definitely hike the Reed LakesTrail up to bomber glacier. The trail head is up Hatcher’s Pass out of Palmer. One of my favorite hikes.

[@david_wiese]

Nice

[@seanmenor1606]

I couldnt help but notice a couple extra features on Daisy's pack! Does she have a custom made pack just for her or is that a potential V3? I noticed specifically the padded/pocketed hip belt, the load lifters, and the ability to clip the top down to the sides of the pack. I think these are all great additions! Especially if the padded hip pockets were just able to slide over the attached hipbelt when wanted. Awesome videos! We all love to see it!

[@1123-m5z]

thanks for sharing buddha! aum mani padme hum

[@20p65s]

Flower's old videos (or maybe her mom's?) were some of my inspiration to hike the AT & PCT. Ya'll are bumbling idiots of the highest order.

[@grantbratrud4949]

Alaska needs more Native People.

[@BigNick3468]

So are you just walking around with wet shoes all the time? It looks like everyone is wearing trail runners with (sometimes) gaiters.

[@andyveres3982]

Yeah boyyyyyyy
