Real RV Living in Alaska… Not What You Think

[@cynthialahti-wong1800]

I gotta say, I just love you guys!! You are so fun to watch and Craig is downright goofy but also very talented and handy to have around!!

[@wildrvlife]

thank you so much! And I have to say, I agree, it makes being married to him that much more fun! 😄

[@AquarianStar3]

I agree. Yall always got me laughing!!! Ur travel buddies too! ❤

[@danielbarrett6026]

Victoria should cut your hair on a live stream next time. If it doesn't work out at least you have the halibut hat! 😁

[@rbranch2987]

I Love the fish hat when Craig wears it over His cap!! ❤

[@ChristianCareerJoy]

Loved this video! You can totally make the halibut hat a thing, like Craig has to wear it in every episode until Victoria has no more real halibut. My puppy likes watching your channel the best as she is always looking for your dogs! Great editing as always, love the music choices! The air show photography was really great for your first show!

[@marigoldenergy8512]

The fish hat looked perfect when the tail was to the side. It made it look more like a real fish!

[@lindalowry150]

Great job videoing the airshow! It all looks like an amazing time. Great bible verse at the end.

[@Hey-ItsZZ]

Love you guys! You guys inspired us to start RV living! And me and my husband just picked up our Brinkley 3500 this weekend!! 🎉❤

[@wildrvlife]

Aww this comments makes my day!! Congrats you guys! I hope you’re ready for the most epic life adventure 🙌🏼❤️

[@marigoldenergy8512]

Congratulations!

If I were a starfish in Alaska, where would I be? On the way to Tahiti!!

Craig trying on the fish hat made me laugh out loud. It’s a keeper.

[@wildrvlife]

hahah I thought it looked great on him, right?! 😄

[@Kalan58]

Roflol, Joseph every time.. "Is that an anemone, or a weed" "Is that a fish or a weed" So funny!! Craig was trying to cheat... "There's a clam way over there!" Love you guys!!

Love the Halibut Hat for Craig!!!

[@kimmoore9862]

It’s nice that you all have are following each other and can help each other out on the road!!

[@wildrvlife]

It's definitely made travel days less stressful knowing we've got each other to rely on!

Your Thunderbird footage was some of the best I have seen. Well done.

[@akroadtripper6176]

Good to see you guys having a great time, as many times I have been to Homer, I have never not had the wind blowing, every time. You found the hidden swings, it is so nice there, probably my favorite place to go. We live about 5 miles from the Eagle River campground, I hate to tell you, the building you were next to, is a wastewater lift station. Love the videos. Safe travels.

[@wildrvlife]

lol we thought it might be something like that with the smell that was coming from it. It really was bad on one side but not really bad on the other, so I guess it worked out! 😂

[@reynagillett-valles2626]

The doughnuts 🍩🍩.

[@wildrvlife]

They were soooo good!

[@mattheww8059]

For as much as you guys are on the road, I can’t believe you don’t have a rapid jack they’re only like 60 bucks many outfits make them, either pull forward or back up, raises the opposite tire easy Peezy

[@FryedTater]

I am so diggin' watching both channels! Thanks for the journey!

[@wildrvlife]

So glad you're enjoying it, thanks for coming along!

[@GyrionSports]

It was really nice meeting you two at the air show. I hope you enjoy the Challenge coin that I gave to Craig. I had just dove the Al Can to take my son to his base where he flies the C-130 for the AK ANG. If you guys are ever in eastern Iowa give us a call. We love the channel. Very nice folks.

[@wildrvlife]

Thank you so much! I'm glad we ran into you guys!

[@joanngrundyson3265]

A great video.......Loved the air show too

[@krazedkamper]

You two are always good for a laugh! 😂 Wear the hat, Craig!

Victoria, I loved the video from the airshow! Great job and thank you for sharing!

[@stratos175escape7]

I had to put on my Homer Spit hat while watching this, mine is just a baseball cap I got at the Homer Spit campground. I like the halibut hat. LOL Beautiful area for sure. Plus, with two axel trailer just use leveling blocks to raise the tire you're not changing.

[@jonathanwilliams7161]

Definitely the bear 🐻 Beanie.... Although the Halibut Beanie is hilarious 😂

[@nancyschwartz892]

Love the hat..Craig. Wear it! Gramma Nancy says so!🥰🥰

[@BenjaminMedlock]

Should have gotten Craig the nice Homer Sweatshirt that was next to the bear hat.

[@bryanwood84]

So much fun I wish I could have come to your meet up in Anchorage. Maybe this winter down south!! Cheers!!

My first airplane ride was to Ft. Knox for Basic training in 1970. Thanks to my neighbors for volunteering me (the draft). Rosie and I had our Brinkley to Alaska last summer. We just got home from Indiana where Royal RV did two recalls on our unit. All is good. We are enjoying your adventure. Burlington Bill here and on You Tube with some tunes.

[@bek4775]

Hello from Australia. Just watched the part where you hitch up. In Australia it’s a golden rule to cross your changes so if it comes off the hitch it nestles on the cross over changes

[@wildrvlife]

It's the same here, but only on bumper pulls, not gooseneck. If a gooseneck comes loose, I think the tailgate and truck will catch way before the chains would.

[@geminispamperedgreyhounds1599]

I have been watching your U tube channel for a while. I also watch Open Roading. You are 2 of my favorite channels. I was so excited when you both announced that you were going to Alaska together. It's a place I've always wanted to go, but due to life and now health, I will probably never get to go in person. So, getting to see it through both of your videos has been great. Thanks for the amazing videos.

[@tommy-guns478]

Love the Fish beenie

[@JeffG-z1q]

I liked bear hat better but the fish hat is cool when he wears the ball cap over it. Fish sandwich… it don’t get much better. Craig doesn’t know what he’s missing. Love the thunderbirds. Seen them years ago when I worked at Air Force station

[@clintcartee9620]

The Moose was awesome

[@wildrvlife]

we were so surprised to turn the corner and see it there!

[@maggie8339]

I love watching you guys! Craig has such a fun spirit and Victoria shows a true appreciation for his humor. You two rock. 🤗

[@lindadurst2290]

I'm thinking the days of just winging it for RV sites in Alaska are over. Will require lots of planning and reservations. $20-$30 for no hook ups in a parking lot. Thunderbirds were good to see. I saw them all the time when I was stationed at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas.

[@djpWilson]

The hat was absolutely perfect when it was bent over to Craig's left - right as he put it on

[@joanmesser7829]

You guys are great !!! So much fun !!😊. Safe travels !

[@WilliamMassey-j5c]

Craig you are so right about the Halibut Hat being called a flounder hat when you get back south. You will need to sport that hat when you make it over the east coast this winter.😂

[@chasinfun365]

Craig, you did lose the Fishing Comp.... The hat is your punishment/reward

[@CheriBarnett-q1d]

Another great video. The air show portion was especially great!

[@angelaklinger2951]

Thank you for all your hard work you do in making videos for us RV folks. We enjoyed our trip to Alaska in our truck camper in 2017.

[@wildrvlife]

Thank you so much! I bet you could get to all the cool places in your truck camper, that’s definitely the way to go up here I think 😄

[@karrieheikoop7349]

I love the halibut hat. Great conversation starter.

[@bonnievoves4336]

Ahhh! I was watching the air show from my parents’ house up by Flattop. It overlooks the whole city. Glad you were able to catch it!! Great shots!!

[@badgerpa9]

Looked like a very fun week along with your work schedule. Oshkosh Wisconsin has an awesome air show, EAA Airventure Oshkosh towards the end of July each year. Nice to see the pups having fun also. Stay safe and healthy. I wonder if you opened up the top part of the hat if it would fit one of the dogs as a sweeter.

[@MichelleA6232]

So much fun! Thanks for showing some "free" activities and the realities of trying to find campsites!! Love the Halibut hat, hope it keeps you warm when you're back in the lower 48!! Safe travels!

[@crystalgonzalez3447]

Love the bennie! When we were stationed in Alaska we always watched the air shows. Ps. Craig looks like a soldier with his haircut plus at an airfield.

[@leemowers9395]

We went to the local County Fair and soda's were 8$ each. Thanks for Sharing your adventure.

See I knew we had gotten a pretty good deal with our popcorn! 😳

[@markpcolo]

Agree with Craig, the Fish hat is 😬

[@JoeyJackson-200T]

Glad you experienced the air show. I have been to about a dozen myself,I spent 25 years in the military and 23 of it was in the Air Force. In my early years I was Army. I was never stationed in Alaska but my daughter has a girlfriend stationed where you saw the airshow.

[@fh9630]

Great video! You both are a hoot! The fish hat is now an icon for Wild RV life. If anyone asks you why you are wearing a fish hat, you can reply "just for the Halibut" :-) Really like my Gen-Y. If no pickup bed camera, use a HF telescoping magnetic pickup tool placed a few inches in front of the hitch ball, extended strait up. I can use my rear view mirror to backup and align the handle of the tool with the Gen-Y. if needed, paint or tape the tool handle a bright color for contrast. Thank you for the scripture verse at the end - God bless your journey together.

[@davedejong5781]

Sooo nice watching you guys, great videos, and having fun!!

Love that y’all are traveling together, my two favorite channels. Craig I agree with you ain’t wearing a darn fish hat! Joesph got the better gift with the syrup. Victoria you should have gotten him a hoodie from Homer. Thanks for sharing your adventures take and be safe!

[@burlingtonbill4687]

Rosie and I stayed on the spit several times on our three trips to Alaska. There is an awesome scenic drive just out of Homer around the bay. We saw Moose and other wildlife along the way and an awesome park full of wildflowers. The views of the bay and mountains was stunning. Have fun. Wear the goofy hat. Burlington Bill busking on the road and on You Tube.

We are from CT and were also at that airshow on Saturday. We were in Anchorange for three weeks but not with our TT. Our daughter and son in law live on the base. We visited a lot of the same places you did, and we can't wait to go back.

[@greggjarvies8938]

Catching up on your videos. Love 'em. Had a good laugh when you were making sandwiches and you said "I've been eating on this for weeks". As a Yankee who married my beautiful North Carolina bride 40 years ago, that's one of the first "Southern" phrases that I've always laughed at.

[@wildrvlife]

LOL you have just made me realize that it's a southern phrase, I've never even thought about how it doesn't probably sound like a normal thing to say to everyone. Thanks for joining us on our adventures!

Tidepooling on an Alaskan beach with friends searching for the elusive starfish, a girls afternoon shopping trip where I found the most perfect, and hilarious, “gift” for Craig 🤣 Changing our friends’ tire on the side of a busy road, attending my first air show where I learned (as someone who knows nothing about planes) that the F22 fighter jet is the coolest one out there! I know that most times, people on the internet will make their assumptions about us and they often don’t change, but I felt like this was a good opportunity to explain that yes, we are looking for something (memories), but we DID find them in Alaska.

[@charlesb4267]

Craig, I don't suppose you and Joe noticed the "Husband Waiting Bench" along the Homer spit, I am quite sure its there for a reason !. I was in Alaska on my own back some 18 years ago and ended up on the spit simply because my dad and step mom talked about going down there when they drove up to Alaska some years prior. I walked along the boardwalk in front of the shops but had little interest in going into any of them as its its very touristy and a lot of it knick knack semi useless crap to me but the women just love it .... oh god the fish hat, I rest my case 😁
