Riverside Camping & Summer Burbot Fishing

With summer in full swing we put the boat in the water and take it out for the first trip of the season. Fishing for Burbot in silty waters and camping under the midnight sun along the river made for a fun vacation from the cabin.
We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀

Banditt Excavations open for the 2024 season. Will dig in exchange for food. What a happy boy.

[@nanagram13]

Glad to see you both out enjoying yourselves after working so hard on the garden. I get the biggest kick out of seeing Bandit digging in the water!

[@beckypincalifornia1985]

Totally agree! Good to see them having fun and some relaxation.

[@carolyngregory9354]

If no one else had fun, Bandit really did, digging in the mud. Fun times for you two.

[@janetpaulsen195]

I’m waiting for the day your drone flys along side an eagle 🎉🎉

[@adamyoung480]

Is that even legal? Or ethical?

[@cb4874]

Eric… you are one lucky guy to have such an awesome wife!…. I am so envious!!… I love you guys!

[@RogerMorris-gk1zl]

DITTO!

[@stephaniknight5809]

“You are pressuring me into doing something i dont want to do”. That is cracking me up. Thats how i feel about sand too

[@TomGiffin]

Yeah, that cracked me up 😂

[@kylecorrow702]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@brodemiah3689]

Loved that too, then the next day proceeded to be barefoot the entire day Lol

[@katiebowen2194]

If you can’t go barefoot what is the use in life!!!!

[@Forresthawk33]

@@brodemiah3689and then caught a fish!

[@janesmith8050]

Don't we all just love these folks? Couples goals!

[@birdwatcherjean6293]

Love the way you embrace the quiet times too. Bandit looked like he had the very best time! Bet he was tired when you got home. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.

[@adamyoung480]

Aloha. That’s the best part of camping. Bath, food, and watch them sleep for two days.

[@phantomframe]

Despite the lack of fish, Bandit was very successful at his endeavors.

[@tammysmith7345]

Thank you so much for giving everyone the opportunity to see your beautiful state in all kinds of weather, without the Alaska channels I watch wouldn't get to see all the different areas. Every channel has different scenes and I feel very blessed that you share it with us💜🐸 95°f here today.

[@williej3831]

So good to see Bandit playing in the water again. Love that boy.

[@RatdogDRB]

Bandit's ready! That boy is a mess. LOL Arielle, when Eric asks if you want coffee, the correct answer is: "Does a one-legged duck swim in a circle?" That stir fry was looking really good ! It's been so many years since I had sourdoughs... way too long. Love 'em! My great-aunt in Kotzebue made the BEST sourdoughs. When I'd visit and she'd ask me what I wanted her to cook for me, I always asked for her sourdoughs.

[@dinahquillen9380]

Really enjoyed Bandit enjoying the mud and water❤

[@annstewart1983]

A much needed break from all the hard work. Thanks for allowing us along on the adventures of Eric and Arielle.

[@ilzitek2419]

It is amazing that the mosquitoes were not eating you alive. The trip was awesome.

[@Rebecca.Robbins]

That music at the end was exactly PERFECT! That could be the theme music for your entire channel! Thanks for another awesome video! ❤

[@lakesideof.grateful]

Bandit is such a good sidekick! He is up for anything!! Love him so! Great video guys !

[@MichelleTech]

Bandit cracks me up with his muddy digging!

[@swr420]

Bandit had such a good time. He’s one lucky boy to have such good people.

[@stevekulbacki5238]

Thanks for filming the midnight sun. I have always wanted to see it.

[@andreafolda1719]

I am in Alaska for the next three months. Your videos were one of the reasons I convinced my husband to explore here in this great state during this summer! It is even more fun now to watch your videos.

[@adamyoung480]

Aloha and enjoy. Drove up the first time in 92, stayed at a remote fishing lodge in 98. Told myself I wanted to enjoy a full season up there. So I got a job at a remote fishing lodge, and worked there four seasons. Watched and experienced spring through fall. Have fun!

[@daydreambeliever6603]

So fun to see Bandit excavating new territory and enjoying warm season. I can’t wait to see the burbot come rolling in❤❤❤

[@Yesica1993]

* waves from Chicago * They're still masked outside, too. Unbelievable.

[@blaahster]

Salmon soon

[@canadiannavywife434]

My cat and I get excited when we hear the notification that there is a new video. We watch together. Hugs from Esquimalt...

[@bettytroyer9436]

Can't wait for the salmon fishing! I like to see all the processe of preservation.

[@ByronWerner-qw5sh]

That dog sure does like digging in the mud! Missing Bo.

[@jamesgaul3544]

Me Too!!

“More fishing trips to come.” Glad to hear that. Those are my most favorite episodes. Thanks for the post…

[@lyndasecrest2853]

One day Bandit will find what he's digging for 😅

[@kristyjones7657]

Well, Bandit had a blast… & you got to ground! I love seeing y’all barefoot… so glad to see y’all having a good time!🙏🏼🕊️🙌🏽 ☀️

[@joannemazza1657]

Welcome summer, love it to see you cooking, baking, on the go on the beach, in the cottage or anywhere on the go. Barefoot on the beach enjoying a very good organic Canadian coffee brewed and roasted in the Canadian Rockies, BC part of the Lavazza conglomerate group including Italian, French, Canadian and Danish organic brews. The joys of summer Bandit in the water, naked feet on the sand and for sure going for a swim in the river. Enjoying your Burbot catches. Thanks again for sharing with ALL of us.🙏🥰🏡🇨🇦

Summer time in Alaska it’s nice to to see you both 🎣 fishing on the river without your gas powered auger drilling through the ice.Enjoyed the wildflowers I enjoyed your dog digging in the river you to looked like you’re enjoying yourself even though you didn’t catch much fish.

[@sharim713]

Thanks for another video. I love watching your adventures. It especially made me smile to see Bandit digging at the water in the river. Reminds me of his little pond at your old place, he was always digging at.

[@laura55987]

My family used to fish in Canada for Northern Pike. Thanks for taking us fishing with you! Ahhhh, the memories ❤ 🎣

One of the things I’m always impressed with your videos is the level of seasoning on your cast iron.

Very happy to see you both enjoying the beauty of Alaska and taking a break from the homestead

Man that was a full blown gourmet riverside meal with the duck stir fry. Awesome upload!

I love how you include your older dog. He loves it all!

[@carlapierle8623]

I just love how much fun Bandit was having!! How precious! I'm in awe at how beautiful and raw it is up there. At least you caught one fish and didn't go home empty bellied. Your duck meal looked AMAZING.

Its Good To See Bandt Out And About Playing Digging Napping, Thank You For taking me along on your Adventures, 👍👍🙏,,

Wanna talk heatwave! It's been in the 90s here in the day and 70s and 80s at night! Thank goodness this heatwave ends after tomorrow! The days will go back down to the 80s and the nights will go back to the 60s. Can't wait!

[@RogerMorris-gk1zl]

BEEN `107-108 HERE IN TUCSON THE LAST FEW DAYS, HARDLY UN-NOTICABLE HUMIDITY.

[@elteescat]

@@RogerMorris-gk1zl we haven't had heat like this here in over a decade! It's been rough!

[@melindamckenry6368]

Enjoyed Bandit's joy in the river and the warm weather. Beautiful river. Thank you for sharing.

[@Smalfry47]

Noooooooo….. I don’t want it to end!

Came for the adventure, stayed for the happy pup! 😂 Bandit living his best life in the mud and the water is the best thing ever!!

[@staceylousherman]

You guys are better than a Calgon Bath......take me away! Thank you for the zen! 😁 ❤

[@medaily57]

Bandit was sure in his element. Loved seeing him, nose in the wind on the front of the boat. Reminded me of my Newfoundland mix when he rode in the car. Winter or Summer, he insisted the window be open so he could get the wind in his face. I was surprised to see how close the beaver got to you all. Great video. Makes me want to get out to the river!❤

[@kylecorrow702]

You guys need some t-shirts all of your supporters would buy them

[@champagnemommy]

I can’t wait for the salmon fishing again!

[@michaelsullivan7183]

[@sreid9740]

Okey dokey, gotta get me some of that! Nothing better than drifting down a river with a few lines floating behind, then stopping to cook and eat the catch whenever you feel like it!! Yahooo! Take care, stay safe!

🇦🇺I loved camping and fishing. We had 4 kids plus up to 10 foster kids. So we needed to be organised. We had bags/back pack with our essentials in. On the inside of each bag had a list of what should be inside. Pot and pan bag: pots , pan and billy, waterproof matches and lighters, garbage bags, washing liquid, sponge, scrubbers etc Crockery/cutlery bag: plates, bowls, cups , tea towels, washing line and pegs. Dog bag: towels, bowl, water bottle Fishing bag: with essentials Tent bag: we had 1x 8 man tent + 3 x 5 man tents, repair kit, extra pegs, under tent tarps, over tent tarps-to keep off rain. Dustpan and brush. Medical bag: pain meds, Band-Aid’s, gauze, creams, bug stray, anti sting cream, Panadol, bandages of all sizes, needle and thread, pliers (hooks). These are just some of what we had.

[@adamyoung480]
