In 1981 I took a 2 week trip to Alaska. Finally came back down to the lower 48 last spring. I miss it terribly!

James I did almost the same, Navy at 17 but only 4 years. Met a lady in San Diego and she is from Detroit, Michigan and we ended up in the area since 91! Still married and happy. In 1984 in Berlin Heights, Ohio that’s where my journey begain. And it’s cool to watch this kid begin

We are not very low budget, but this is our dream and I’m trying to make it happen for me and my wife any pointers on how to find land and jobs out there

[@northstarnick8366]

watched your first two videos and thought to myself “this kid is well beyond his years.” Then I looked in the comment section and saw who your parents are. Everything became amazingly clear at that point! You are a lucky young man and have a bright future ahead of you! God bless and good luck with your journey!

[@Mmm-xi7fx]

I love that your parents support your decision to move to Alaska by yourself, but also went on the road trip with you to make sure you get there safely. That’s so lovely 🥹❤️❤️

[@llorylloyd]

You sound so much like your dad. The same tone and story telling style. ❤ It. Your dad's voice is the reason I watch his videos. He's so calm, simple, to the point, it really is relaxing. And 🤫 ssshhh a lot of the time I fall asleep so I have to watch his videos twice. 😁

[@ReRe-wd5sz]

You have a very relaxing voice to listen to. 🙂

Bears and Bison - and gorgeous scenery. ❤

[@cedarrockcabin3633]

So glad you didn't edit out the wind. Great footage. I LOVE the mountains! I lived in SC for about 45 yrs. Flat. Hot. Humid. Bugs. Now, we're in the mountains of western NC. I love sweaters, too... and fleece lined jeans. I'm glad y'all made it safely. Looking forward to the next video.

[@annetten4166]

Thanks for taking us along on your great adventure,

[@jonathanbecker8935]

Love those moments when crossing the country and you leave the flatlands behind and finally arrive in mountain country. There's something about being able to look out into a mountain range that moves the imagination and brings excitement to any journey. I like having the wind sound in the video, it's much more realistic and easier to imagine what it's like there!

[@BirdYoumans]

Eventually when you want to spend the time and get a better sound track, there is indeed a way to get rid of background noise tho you may not want to get rid of most nature sounds, wind noise is not terribly good for setting a mood lol! Don't know what editor you use and if it can use plugins, but there is a plug from Waves that is called clarity and it will remove anything that is not the human voice, and if you would like to just reduce the noise but not totally remove it, it does that too. It is unbelievable. I wish I had discovered it sooner than I did. It seemed that every time I made one of my wood videos and was doing a narration, that's when the neighbor would mow his lawn lol! But after getting that plugin, It has solved a ton of problems. But my wood channel was just a minor channel, my real vids are music vids so not as necessary for them, tho when I do my talks I do use it to "clarify" the vocal. Just a suggestion. Love your content so far tho. That scenery up there is incredible!

[@naomiwoodman3585]

I am glad you made it. You got to see some amazing wildlife. Can't wait to see more. Wind noise just makes it more authentic!

[@MickWhipple]

The next video will definitely have less wind noise it was driving me insane 😂

[@backroadsusa6915]

I agree, I would rather listen to the wind noise than music in the background while trying to listen to him talk... it's just distracting

[@robertgraves3215]

Awesome footage . I've prevented myself from dying on my bike, climbing mountains in 100 plus heat by wrapping up some ice cubes , or better yet, a fist sized solid chunk of ice, Aunt Jemima style, in a bandana , the ice goes on the back of your neck (hypothalamus) . put a wet cloth or wet tee-shirt over that, and cover that with your wetted baseball hat. You'll be amazed . Good to see you have some FRS radios , with Dad sounding all trucker convoy. Onward.
