Anchorage Longboard Tour (Coastal Trail) - [Living in Alaska Day 6]

[@JimBales]

I am in my 70's now and pretty much housebound. Taking this trip with you today has been the highlight of the month. I have you on my big flat screen TV and it's like being there. Thank you for the wonderful adventure. I love you both, and of course the babies. The dog and the cats.

[@Tennessee_est1983]

Can’t believe it’s been 7 years since this vlog! Was such a hard time in my life and these vlogs helped so much!

[@amuelaasher4675]

ooo maaaan u are now my second fave youtube blogger for out-door vid scenes :-) my first fave is "without the snow dogs". I love 'full-screening' the vids and pretend I'm riding along. Big thank you!

[@LiveEachDay]

They are very sweet people. Glad you could ride with me! ;)

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

Awww how sweet!!! :)

[@coastercrutchfield]

Hi Cory, I just wanted to say that I've always loved watching your vlogs and videos, and recently watching them have really given me joy and hope in life and that I will have a future. My girlfriend recently just broke up with me, and in less than a month I'm moving from Dallas TX to Southern California for college, and that's going to be such a huge change for me; not only living on my own for the first time, but also being so far away from home as well. Even though it's by choice, I couldn't help to be nervous and scared about it, and doing it while being heartbroken doesn't help. But seeing that you've taken a big change, and how happy it's made you, it's truly given me hope that hopefully I'll be feeling the same way, and that this change for me will be exciting and new, instead of scary and dreadful. Thanks Cory for spreading your happiness to others like me. Andrew

Metal detect that ground was exact the same thing I was thinking. Go for it. Greetings from The Netherlands GL&HH Don

[@8o8inSquares]

You're the only vlogger I am watching, and I am enjoying it, so inspiring. I've been watching you since you've made the short film about weird walking :)

[@LiveEachDay]

I'm glad you're enjoying the new vlogs! I'm really enjoying making them too. :)

[@drewmaki95]

I loved that shot of you longboarding with the plane over head. Your vlogs capture the essence of life.

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

It's nice to see and experience Alaska through your eyes. :) It's a state I am afraid that if I visit. . I won't ever leave! heheh

[@Panda-gw8dl]

You’ll probably leave after the winter 🥶 me and my mom have lived here our whole lives she hates the cold says it makes her bones hurt

[@danielsimpkins9662]

Bro, I gotta admit, I came to your channel because facebook told me I should check out your video about you skipping rocks on that frozen lake, and honestly, I've spent the last 5 hours watching your videos. I really dig your life.

[@KatsPickJewelry]

So glad you're happy there Cory! And thank you for your adventures there with us 8-)

[@LiveEachDay]

Kat's Pick Jewelry No problem and thank YOU! :)

[@amynewman9266]

I'm so glad your posting again. I am sure we can all agree we missed you and your ALASKA videos! I'm learning so much about this beautiful State. Keep Posting dude :)

[@ThePhoenixDios]

Dude, Cory. I am seriously loving these vlogs. Been a fan for a long time but where you are now is incredible. Love your editing and goes so well with the scenery. Very happy for you buddy.

[@KeithMarrocco]

I remember cabooses. Yeah, I'm that old. I love exploring Alaska vicariously through you. Especially the beer.

[@lilyjameson5156]

Great virtual tour, Cory! I felt like I was longboarding right along with you! It's really cool to see you so genuinely happy and inspired by your surroundings. You make me want to move to Alaska. But I'm sure I'll change my mind as soon as you start sharing your winter vlogs. ;)

[@secondstar4170]

What beautiful countryside! Thank you for taking your camera along to show us! That had to be tiresome to go, what 25 miles?, while holding it! Love how you gave up the heads up to the people to look for the mamma moose after you saw the calf. I thought how you captured the second airplane on camera was just so cool. You are so talented to be able to get all of your gorgeous shots, but especially that one. Thank you!

[@lypscratchlyp]

You look so happy longboarding downhill, breathing in the air. So great!

[@MiamiGirl]

Ur adventures make me want to do things I've never had the guts to do. Thanks for the inspiration. U rock.👾

[@kellingc]

It is so nice seeing someone enjoying just being somewhere. I love the way you edited this, too.

[@Melooooooooooooooooooooooooooo]

AAAAAH I LOVE YOOOOUUU OR I LOVE WHAT YOU SHOW OF YOURSELF AND WHERE YOU LIVE AND IT LOOKS SO AWESOME LKJÑSHFDGÑA

[@LiveEachDay]

***** I'm glad you like it!

[@Joe-gf7co]

Hey what was the dance music at 11:16 .. please?

[@Zsmart]

Such a beautiful part of the world.

[@LiveEachDay]

Zsmart Indeed. I had no idea it was this pretty up here until I came.

[@EmmaSol94]

Oh yeah, we have those flowers too. On sunny days with wind, that fluff is all over the place. :3

[@CreekValleyCritters]

It is so neat, what you are feeling now is exactly the same as what I felt when we first moved to Whitehorse :) Once you are all settled in your new house, you should consider getting an ATV and maybe even a snowmobile, I think you would love them. btw these are super vlogs, really enjoying them over here :)

[@helenar8404]

I don't think I've told you how much I've love these new vlogs. Makes me want to go to Alaska myself!

[@Gothicvampyressgwen1]

I am so glad things are working out for you. Virtual hugs for you and the kitties! I hope the kitties are doing well.

[@TheMokubaCosplayer]

That trail looks like the perfect place for me to go rollerblading!!!

[@Krispi-Kat]

Alaska looks so cool! I really wish I could go.

[@dramakittymeow]

Oh my gosh!!! That place with the chocolate fountain!! My dad's cousin and his family used to live up in Anchorage. We went to visit them once, when I was in like... 2nd or 3rd grade or so (12 or so years ago), and that place with the fountain is one of the places we visited!!! I have a distinct memory of being there all that time ago, even though I had no memory what it was called or where in the city it was!!! Wow. That's so cool that you went there too

[@3Buffylover]

I cannot WAIT to see how Cory reacts to the winter!

[@canhamo35]

You just radiate happiness these days! It's pretty contagious man ^^

[@TheGameHeaven]

Living on the same latitude as Alaska in Europe, it's awesome to see you excited about all these familiar plants and things. :)

[@agnes998]

I love, love, love your longboard tours. Wonderful video! Beautiful scenery! DARNED STEEP DROP OFF!!!

[@dolcevitausa]

continue living the happy life dude…all the best

[@TaggarungAk]

Thank you for making these vlogs Cory! It's so awesome to see someone fall in love with my home state. It also reminds me how amazing my home really is. Thank you Cory!!

[@mlnsrm]

I just realized you are the person I've been watching for the longest time on KZbin - and I'm honestly really happy about that.

[@Anothering]

Oh man, I started laughing hysterically when you got to the 9mi mark. I've done that so many times... haha. Also thank you Cory! Loving the videos :)

[@mgtman228]

It totally looks like your in a movie. It just looks so nice out there!

[@dagman85]

Thanks for another great vlog, Cory! It's wonderful to see more of that beautiful Alaska scenery, especially from a longboarder's perspective.

[@VengeanceTyphlosion]

I think that because they turned the Earthquake spot into a kind of park and people think of it as a kind of historic spot, but not one that you can't go on, I don't think it would be wrong to metal detect there. Also, thank you for showing us the beauty around you and for giving us another glimpse into the life of Cory. You keep putting up videos and I'll keep watching.

[@prospectivesound2389]

Watching your blogs really gives me hope, I get so happy seeing you happy. I been watching you since your aquadots video and I just love you man. Ive been going through a rough time lately with a harsh break up and this really helps me.

[@metallitech]

Nice informative video. I think this video may turn Anchorage into the next major hipster destination.

[@desulv]

too late. it already is

[@Amberite]

Cory you are making me so Homesick!. I grew up in Juneau Alaska. Moved there when I was 3 and spent 21 years there. It will always be home and I miss it dearly sometimes. However when they say AK is expensive they are talking about places like Juneau. Only way in or out of there is by boat or plane. Thus the prices on every day items are spendy. I am glad you are loving AK. I knew you would!

[@GlamorousBunny21]

I am loving seeing you so in your element! It's wonderful! You can honestly tell you are so at home. Looking forward to the next one!

[@Dudeonwheels]

Your longboarding in this video mass me realize something that might make cold snowy winters a little bit more bearable for you, and that is that I bet you'd be really into snowboarding! A lot of my friends in Minnesota love snowboarding.

[@Anonymousmoiselle]

Omg dude, "cue dance music" just as that guy was getting jiggy with it - made my day. Great vids, I KZbind "Alaska" hoping for tourist vids at the least but I'm loving this in depth view. Started at Day 1 and watching them all.

[@JLabbieandPoe]

Just catching up on your VLOGS. I remember when I made a journey to the West Kootenays BC for the first time after living in Calgary Alberta for the longest time. I remeber that exhileration of adventure and all that. I wish you the absolute best man!

[@WasonJar]

the dance music at the end was the best hahaha it fit so perfect

[@thetruephobia]

I haven't been able to stop watching your videos since you moved to Alaska, I've always loved your videos before, but now you're just so much more happy and I love it! :D

[@CosmicDiamondLizzal]

So glad you posted again! Thank you!!! For the ride!

[@LiveEachDay]

Liz Rogers I took a little time to see Alaska without a camera. I probably won't vlog every day.

[@bolokla]

DudeLikeHELLA put a gopro

[@TwitardGirl]

With every new blog you have me wanting to go to Alaska! The trails are also making me want to find a trail around here and bike it. I kinda live in my own little box and don't step out of it much. But you make me want to try new things! Well your vlogs have always made me want to try new things. I think I'm going to start! -Emma

[@ka1sun]

I am so glad for you I can tell that you have found your place in the world up there . After driving the lower 48 you seem fitted for there

[@emmville]

i was thinking the same thing about metal detecting, go for itttttttttt

[@AnimagiMj]

Yay! New vlog!! Great scenery, and everything looks so fun and interesting. Seriously making me jealous.

[@BlakeGJ]

A flagon of mead sounds like a great way to start a day off! It would take a lot of it to get me dancing on the sidewalk!

[@tacha3490]

Dreams do come true and you are with the best girl!!!! She's a keeper!

[@LiveEachDay]

Tacha :)

[@BuildsByThomas]

for all the people that don't see the 71' in the eagle, it's not in the claws it is in the right leg of the eagle above the claw, if you look at the left leg you will see a lot more lines in it, try to compare the left leg to the right leg and you should see it, hope this helps.

[@cyn4476]

Thanks, this helped. Another tip, it's not the black part, it's the unpainted part.

[@lypscratchlyp]

I was worried about my sanity there for a minute. Thank you sgtTH0MA5 and Cynthia Podmore ! Finally saw it!

[@TheJenbr]

Such beautiful scenery!

[@WhattheVloggity]

Ohhh Snap! I almost spit out my popcorn when you cued the dance music! On a side note you look like you have found inner peace in Alaska my man!

[@brotherbri]

I want to move to Alaska now! Laughed so hard at the "epic dance party" lol

[@MrChief101]

Longboarding in with no good plan out is how they make all those mysterious skeletons found in the woods... Nice music cue for dreamy-eyed wonder. Considering how long I've been watching, it's easy to forget that you're a filmmaker. Yes, sure-- I know you spend extra time and equipment on your more serious (albeit occasionally goofy) shoots-- but this is you with a stalk-mounted GoPro and your editing suite. So that's nice. Still very much enjoying these travelogues. Interesting question about detecting. I would ask around, there may be local ordinances against it. But it is salvage. On the other hand, these were businesses and households-- are you ready for what you find? Also, they should be pretty deep, between the original jumble and openings then all these years' overgrowth.

[@football61gurl]

My parents lived up there when that earthquake happened :) I've seen the color photos. I'm so glad you moved!

[@mattheiser8916]

Thats a big dream but i still would love to visit at the least love ur vids

[@marcofonseca4511]

MY FRIEND... I'm enjoying your videos... great job...I'm from Brazil living on USA.. love this place...

[@000glowinthedark000]

You know Cory, from the first longboarding-video you posted on your smpfilms channel, with the camera just under your board and the music playing in the background, you got me interested in longboarding! It seemed to be so much fun! So I got a longboard for my 21st birthday and practiced every day since. I just wanted to say thank you!

[@bNNjh5fu000jy]

It's so cool that one can follow another persons journey and adventures. Moving is a often a big step in someone's life and being able to follow, you and you'r girlfriend in this case, is really exciting. Looking forward to seeing the house you will by. Bought for you since it has already happened, but I've only watched this far. :)

[@calebamis88]

You make beautiful vlogs! Just letting you know I've been following you for a long time and you inspired me to vlog my family vacation to Chicago. It was awesome and your awesome! Wish you happiness, and love in your life.

[@ururaru]

omg Alaska is so beautiful...and you look so relaxed !

[@AngelaBrinker]

Wow. I totally missed this the first time around. Although I didn't start watching until several weeks after this, I went back to your move when I found your Alaska videos. I've been trying to figure what's different about your videos now (besides the obvious, kids, Oklahoma etc.) These vlogs seem freer. Not just in the sense you had more freedom because you didn't have kids so much, but less overly polished. You just did whatever, and didn't seem like you were so worried about packaging it. I do really miss your exploring. I know that really is something you can't do so much anymore and granted, here you had a whole new place to explore. Still you talked about all the different things in Oklahoma before you moved and we haven't really seen much of it.

[@TayJayProductions]

You've opened my eyes to Alaska. It's definitely not what I thought. It seems so different there and so beautiful. It's definitely a Cory place, and I'm glad to see you have someone to enjoy it with :)

[@thewomanwithnohead]

11:07 HAHAHAHAHAHA ! I burst out laughing !!! It reminds me of your EPIC NOTHING videos series !!! Your vlogs are so good ! It seems like we're visiting Alaska with you and Kristin ! Thanks very much for all this natural entertainment !

[@kandycandy1]

That is awesome footage! I would love to visit Alaska, I put it on my bucket list. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@RamBaDu]

I really loved this video, Cory! :) I want to see more! :D

I first found your channel through ifls when they shared your vid about skipping rocks through frozen lake and now here i am on my fourth vid of yours this afternoon doing some sort of [Living in Alaska] marathon. I live in new zealand and some of the stuff you're showing are pretty similar. although, seeing mountains and even bigger areas of greenery are super awesome. Watching your vlogs makes me motivated to get outdoors more and explore. I sure will do so...after watching a few of your vids from time to time ofc :P

[@bethandmaisie]

I want to live there! It looks so awesome, Something to explore everyday. Ahh...!

[@samjaksmom]

Really enjoyed the trip with you. My husband has to wish to go to Alaska and this helps me see what he might like to see. I have like a list of questions about getting there and what to expect.

[@supercasual68]

DUDE I LOVE THE ENDING ESPECIALLY!! HILARIOUS!! :)

[@GraffitiSky]

Loved this video and looking at all the scenery!

[@sweetspice06]

I would love to visit this place one day...it's beautiful

[@ophiruchus]

I went to those two places you visited at the end, but nearly 10 years ago!

[@alphabetatiger]

The winter will be very interesting for a long time California resident. Heck 200 miles from the Arctic Circle it would be interesting for a North Dakota resident.

[@MartijnTetaert]

looks you two are verry happy there. Thanks cory for sharing :D greetings from belgium

[@artemis2227]

Oh, and Cory, don't forget to go to the Alaska State Fair out in Palmer. It's open til', the first of September.

[@tararosenlund3603]

you need to check out Hatchers Pass in Palmer Alaska!!!! long board that hill! Fall time is the most beautiful up there

[@pmakiku]

Just wait for the snow and the winter :D Nature looks quite similar in Alaska as in Finland!

[@CosmicDiamondLizzal]

And badass job Cory! You are amazing! That was so perfect! I love when you are maybe halfway boarding back and collapse and look at sky and laugh! That was great. We love you!!!

[@LiveEachDay]

Liz Rogers I couldn't help but laugh at how dumb I was for not planning a ride back. Sometimes my own stupidity amuses me. I'm glad you're enjoying it too! :)

[@The_sound_Of_Thunder]

DudeLikeHELLA Not stupid man , just an exploring spirit, I used to do that with bikes all the time, often having to take any transport I could back to where I started.

[@kaspergames9376]

At first I didn't recognize you, until further reading into the comments and realizing you were from SMP films, also your shirt gave it away. I want to move to Seattle and do the same exact same thing you're doing, just waiting to finish college. Subbed and super happy I did!

[@madalex26]

Wow! What a place!

[@danielkandisnooker7990]

ur vlog is addictive! How to explain... hmm... the fact that you LEFT sunny cali and decided to do the ultimate walter mitty journey, not knowing what the hell comes at you next, makes the vlog SOO much more interesting than ... hmm, lets say shayfamilyvlog, or BF vs GF. It's just so much more an adventure, as your camerawork is smooth and without all the silly jumpcuts, and the annoying shouting. It's basically film back to basics. Not flirting with viewcounts or sponsorships and all that BS. JUST a proper glimse into what Alaska is like for you. Bless ya!. Started from ep. 1 and im gonna finish it within 10 days for sure ! :)

[@DigtyDog]

Alaska looks beautiful! Thanks for sharing this with us Cory :)

[@idiotwithaAK47]

Wow that took me really long to find the 1971 on that high school… but I'm loving these vlogs, thank you for doing them! I have been watching you since 2007 and you still remain to be my favorite youtuber! I am moving to Washington from California in a month, after only living in Southern CA my whole life and you are making it a little easier for me to handle :) I suck with change but seeing you embrace it so much makes me want to do the same! Again thank you for keep doing these videos, I really appreciate them and I know lots more do as well :-)

[@kristoph17]

Awesome Cory! Always love your longboard vlogs! You must have been super parched after that ride eh? haha.. Just think, in the winter... you can cross-country ski those trails... probably!

[@CaptStefan]

Hello Cory!! This was one of your best videos in ages! :) I loved it! Thank you for showing us Anchorage! It seems you're gonna love it there!! Keep up the videos!!

[@safelysomewhere]

Few things I haven't seen before, but alaska and BC have alot of resemblances! ESPECIALLY the fireweed!

[@epr8974]

That was a beautiful video. I really enjoy exploration trips like that. I often do that myself when I go running or cycling. Just try to find new paths and trails that lead me to places I have never been to before. Just remember to bring enough water with you and a bit of food when you do this. Some money, a phone and a repair kit with spare tubes for your bike don't hurt either. Regarding metal detecting in this place: I don't think it would be wrong, but I would get something like an official permit first, since the area seems to be something like a natural museum or place of remembrance. I would ask someone at the police or city administration first.

[@LiveEachDay]

I wasn't too worried about food or water because it was on a fairly busy path. If this were any less traveled then definitely. As for the metal detecting, I'm just going to do some research before I go out today.

[@mariajosesanfeliz]

It's so beautiful!!! I love your videos!!!

[@benbarnes3664]

Hey there Cory there is another part of the trail that you were on. it starts right out of potter's marsh. it goes all the way to Girdwood.

[@Tomasz_Piekarski]

Metal detecting that place would be awesome! Just set the iron disc to 40 and sky's the limit. Or the wild bear is the limit. :P Btw. the epic dance music made my day! :D 10:50

[@mana_surge]

Loving these Alaska vlogs Cory! Everything looks so beautiful, and it's great to feel like we get to join you on your adventures! (It's funny because I don't watch any other vloggers and never thought I would, but I love your vids!)

[@doryld]

I just love seeing how peaceful you are now Cory :) It really does seem like you have found your right place! aaaand I can't wait to see how you're gonna react to wintertime :P I live in Norway and we have much of the same weather as Alaska..so I think I can say that I know what you're going into and it's ..yeah, it's gonna be a lot of fun to watch :P hihihi

[@bolokla]

this is different..i love this place..

[@akikogenho]

I'm glad things are working our for you Cory :) You deserve it!!!
