Wow! What a great video. The scenery and drone footage keeps getting better and better. Loved the animal preserve how close up you can get. Especially when its like your walking the bear. great views from the tram up the mountains. very cool. loved the one way tunnel to Whittier. That must have been something to see. can't wait for that train ride.

[@nickyfurmage]

It was a fun day. Glad you enjoyed it mate. That tunnel is definitely an eye-opener!

[@larae5541]

Another excellent vlog! Thank you for including so much Alaskan History in this one. Great content!!

[@nickyfurmage]

I think I'll do that going forward with the other videos as I mention a bit about each place. Thanks👍

[@MM-kh7nx]

Fresh clam chowder everyday for sure 🍲

[@nickyfurmage]

Love it!

[@christinewoodruff5092]

You did good staying on the right side of the road lol !! Beautiful scenery, looking forward to the next one!

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks lol, I've had plenty of practice driving over there now😁

[@luvjets]

Hi N&C - Stunning scenery, amazing drone footage! That roll was insane - bigger than any Cinabon I've ever seen!🍩 The views from the tram was breathtaking. The wildlife animals at the sanctuary were amazing - it's hard to believe how massive they are!🐃🦌 I would be worried that a vehicle might breakdown in the tunnel - quite a feat of engineering. 🌉 Thanks for another incredible adventure guys - hugs to you both!!! Cheers!!!😎❤🍻

[@nickyfurmage]

We were close to the bigger bear for a moment and yes it's amazing to see how huge they are!

[@vickigibson8567]

Excellent episode!! Really really enjoyed this one!

[@nickyfurmage]

Cheers Vicki, nice to have you along again. Plenty more to come from this trip👍

[@andrewmcgrath7539]

Love it…watching from Marseille in France 🇫🇷

[@nickyfurmage]

Nice! Enjoy mate👍

[@TheLasVegasCouple]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful vlog! 😍 We’re gonna need an update on that humongous cake though… 👀😘

[@clairefurmage6581]

It looked better than what it tasted 😊

[@nickyfurmage]

It hit the bottom of the bin so damn hard!

[@chrismay6278]

Fantastic vlog and great filming as always. At least I have seen Alaska through your vlogs, so don’t need to lay out thousands! Looking forward to meeting you in Leeds. 👍

[@nickyfurmage]

That's a great plan, definitely pricey😁

[@susanbusbee]

Very awesome! I vaguely remember going to the animal sanctuary once but the only animals I remember were the reindeer.

[@nickyfurmage]

It was cool to visit and definitely worth the cost.

[@sharonstirling350]

Absolutely incredible, looks amazing. Its now on my bucket list 😊

[@nickyfurmage]

The next video was on mine 😉

[@danielocean316]

Those bears were #onthemove What an awesome one right here. So frickin cool brother! You and Claire are doing it right! 👊🤘🏼

[@nickyfurmage]

@@danielocean316 😆 Them Bears were definitely on the move!! Appreciate you being onboard brother🤘

[@rhondalockrey9592]

Love this vlog those bears & bison worth the money to go see the animals. Wow all that land & mountains just so beautiful. I remember seeing a vlog on the Whittier building I think by Peter Santengelo so interesting. I can why the prices are so high to buy food & items there its so far lol Looking forward to the next vlog.

[@nickyfurmage]

The Sanctuary was cool, definitely worth every penny! I've seen a couple of things on Whittier, definitely different kind of way to live there!

[@garybostock9526]

Great episode

[@nickyfurmage]

Cheers Gary 👍

[@sallypeterson5642]

Hi you two, I want to take a vacation with you!! Such fun and I love your commentary! Looking forward to the next vlog. Signing off from Cave Creek, Arizona where it's 110 degrees.

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks for joining us😊 now that is hot!! You can definitely use that cracking flags term in that heat lol

[@ChrisHazz]

Good to see that town through the tunnel has ice machines 😂

[@nickyfurmage]

Americans love Ice 😁

[@wks4511]

Hello from Indianapolis Nicky and Claire. I always enjoy your vlogs. So well done and you take us to some amazing places. And always a good history lesson as well. Looking forward to the train ride.

[@nickyfurmage]

Lots of History lessons in these 😁

[@stuchan3326]

Been fairly hot lately where I am, high 90s-low 100s. Imagining the Alaskan chill. So where do the snacks cost more, Crow Creek or a Vegas hotel gift shop? Loved seeing the animals. Definitely this city boy’s preferred way to walk with bears. Whittier gave me The Last of Us vibes. I don’t know if I would have walked through that tunnel. Guess I don’t have that “adventfurmage” spirit. Looking forward to a first-class train ride. Thanks Nicky and Claire.

[@nickyfurmage]

Id definitely still go for the Vegas gift shop lol, them bears were cool! And yeah that tunnel had some post apocalyptic vibes for sure! Cheers Stu👍

[@stevecavey8481]

Loved the walking with bears! Who even thought it was possible to be crackin flags in Alaska!😂

[@nickyfurmage]

Them bears were cool to gang out with😁🐻 We did well with the cracking flag action in Alaska 😆

[@dianaallen3707]

Amazing vlog guys thanks for sharing 🍻

[@nickyfurmage]

Ur welcome😁

[@robcarter4336]

Really enjoying your videos Nicky. You're a very talented vlogger and editor. Looking forward to the next one. All the best from rainy Weymouth (Dorset)

[@nickyfurmage]

@robcarter4336 Cheers Rob thanks, My Dad is originally from Dorset, Corfe Castle.

[@robcarter4336]

@@nickyfurmage Ah cool! Nice part of the world Corfe and Purbeck. Have you been in recent years? The wife and I have just last week returned from a Cruise of the Fjords on Anthem of the Seas, which is how we found your channel a little while back. Must have watched your ship tour video half a dozen times before we went 😂Olden was absolutely incredible!

[@Getzmictzer]

❤ watching your vlogs, so informative and entertaining, loving Alaska. My wife wants to know if Clare is wearing waterproof hiking shoes, as we are heading to Alaska also. Keep Vlogging guys, you’re just the best 😊

[@nickyfurmage]

@Getzmictzer hey thanks for watching, Claires shoes aren't water proof actually, they are the Salamon Trail shoes.

[@boganpainter1638]

I have never heard the expression “cracking flags”

[@nickyfurmage]

😂 Yeah that's definitely a British thing I guess!
