Some of the comments on the blog requested more information on the costs of the activities, tours and guides. That information was just updated on the blog in addition to our fuel & lodging costs. We also added our favorite places in Alaska and the KYD Best of Alaska list. www.keepyourdaydream.com/alaska-recap/

@@Weathergeekdan I’m even worried we won’t be allowed to cross into Canada to get to Alaska. Moving our son & DIL to Tok, Alaska.

[@jessicadavis16]

Oh man, this is definitely on the bucket list! We are from SC, my husband has a stationary job and can not be away longer than two weeks, so we joke if he ever left his job, we should have enough savings that we can take a month or two before he starts a new job!

[@KenSagendorph]

Thanks for all the great information. I have had an RV in the past. Lost in during my divorce. Now that time has gone by and my feet are starting to get back on the ground. My girlfriend and I are looking forward to purchasing our RV in the spring, if not sooner if we get the right deal. Thanks again for the review.

[@candlesbyvictoria]

Discovery channel needs to snatch ya'll up! I really look forward to your videos every single week. Thank you!!!

[@audreywy1743]

Candles By Victoria, You're spot on! They would really inspire so many families to travel. Imagine how much better the world would be with families taking the time to really explore nature and bond with their loved ones the way they do.

[@learnitfromwilliam]

they are the PERFECT couple to have a mainstream TV show, 100% ! I love watching them.

[@shill4]

I visited my daughter in Ketchikan September 18 - October 3rd and it was beautiful. Only about 5 days of rain when I was there over a 2 week period. Ketchikan is only accessible by plane or boat. It's the first city out from Seattle by cruise ship. They have 1 million visitors from May 1 - September 30. It was a ghost town on the days there were no ships in port. The climate is more temperate and its often warmer there than my middle Tennessee home on some winter days.

[@debbiputman3482]

My parents took my daughter and nephew to Alaska for 5 weeks when they were 12yo.They will be 31 in a couple months and that is still the trip they talk about the most! Such an awesome experience!

[@bradymcphail9690]

You folks are awesome, plane and simple! I was electrocuted at work and have been home mending my broken body. Unfortunately my head is pretty messed up. I didnt have a lot to look forward to until my wife and I remembered and decided that we wanted to RV when we retired. Well retirement is going to start very soon, and your KZbin channel and your family has helped me and inspired me to look forward to something again. I have a ways to go to get back to whole again but watching your videos is truly helping! Also they are teaching me what I need to properly prepare ASI have been a backpacker, and never an RVer. BTW- I've spent my entire life trying to get to Alaska... I hope to make it in an RV someday after gaining some valuable experience. Yes I heard you loud and clear teachers. Thank you so very much for sharing your life, you really dont know how you really truly put a spark back into my Heart. It would be so great to meet at a campground someday so I can just thank you in person and hug your neck!

[@MissSadara]

We're also unable to boon dock. Family of 4, 2 teenagers, we fill our tanks during a 3 day, 2 night trip. If we have access to restroom and showers, we can stretch it another day. I was beginning to think it was just us. But, I'm happy to hear you have the same issues. We also home school and work remotely, we NEED internet! I mean, two teens, the drama when we have no internet. lol

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Same page. Full hook-ups keep everyone happy. Worrying about water and dishing feels like camping! ;)

[@travelingtrekez7034]

It's been said before, so I will say it again! The Travel Channel NEEDS you guys!! Another great video!

[@MyLifeisaHighway]

What a phenomenal 3+ months. Great wrap up episode. Thanks again for taking us on such an epic excursion! Welcome back to the lower 48, KYD! We've missed you!

[@kylepifer9509]

I have never in my lifetime wanted to go to Alaska! But when I saw the cruise ship stop I think I would chance it🤷‍♀️. I have very serious health problems and use a mobility scooter to get around on vacation. But it was beautiful and watching your videos made me change my mind about it!✅👍🏻 so I may look into a cruise and the ports of call. Thanks for the recap👍🏻👏🏻🎁

[@miketomas8564]

Well Welcome back home Guys! You came back at the perfect time! Isn't the Weather Great here? Windows are open- Puffy Clouds rolling through.. You missed the big rain storms. Ah- So wonderful. Thanks for being this year's De-facto Alaskan travel information source! Great memories, abundant information, and Epic Photography throughout your Alaskan series! It was a wild ride I couldn't wait to see your next episode! The visuals made me move from watching early on on my tablet to casting your episode on the 60" 4k TV in all of Alaska's stunning glory! Thanks for the stunning tour, the chance to experience Alaska through your eyes and all the kewl tips you have! But now! Where to next? Maybe we will bump paths in and around Phoenix or the Mogollon rim now that your back! Just have fun guys and relax! you've earned it!

[@rhondalyn100]

While provoking a bit of sadness (because the adventure is over) I always love "The Wrap" video. Not only do you provide primo, useful information, but my fav part: you share your feelings and observations about the experience. Wonderful job with this one...thanks, guys...:-)

[@toh2002]

Awsome, great, incredible advise. Love following your guys....

[@OurLicencetoTravel]

While I was visiting Thailand, my friends and I toured with the locals. One of the things we discovered was that if you did not stay in the touristy parts of towns and hotels, and spent more time with the locals trying to learn about them and respecting them and their customs, they would call you a "Traveler" and showed you equal respect and all of the beautiful places, things and customs that most folks did not get to experience. You and your family are truly "Travelers". Thanks again for taking us along... OLT

[@KeepYourDaydream]

That's very nice. Thanks. The more we travel, the more of the local's life we're interested in. Thanks for joining us. More to come.

Congrats on 150,000 subs KYD rocks the videos keep it up and keep em coming ❤️👍🏻🔥

[@donellefson5882]

That was awesome you guys ,I am glad you had such a great time and just want say i was looking foreword to your videos every week and hope their are more to come. big thumbs up. and will use the information you were so kind to sure with us all thank you .

[@johnweinberger1603]

Well, there are multiple climates to Alaska. Fairbanks gets as much precipitation as eastern Colorado - 11 inches and that includes snowfall melt. When you were near the coastal towns, the rainy weather was because that is their regular fare. Anchorage and the Kenai are the same rainy foggy as Seattle except it is colder ( but not at all colder than Green Bay ). To get fewer rainy days, simply have more travel days out from the coastal rain forests and spend more time in the (sub)arctic deserts around Fairbanks.

Just completed bindge watching your Alaska trip. I retired from the Air Forrce from Anchorage in 1991. My Alaska adventure began at Galena which was a remote tour (could not take family). My family was in Eagle River and I flew into Anchorage on AF business monthly. I have so many great memories of Alaska and your videos highlighted most of them. I had one overwhelming feeling the intire time I was there and that feeling was "being on top of the world." Thank you for sharing your adventures and bringing back so many great memories.

[@louismenditto1917]

You guys are amazing! It has been an adventure following your Alaska journey, Thank you for all of the great advice and resources. Definitely on the bucket list.

[@AngelTorres-se9zf]

Hello KYD, we have watched every single episode from day one. I truly wish we can just leave all behind and follow you guys around our beautiful country with our rig. I have 7 more years for a young retirement and RVing would be so much more fun for us if we had no worries to rush back to work. With that being said, watching your videos made us add so much more to our USA/Canada/Mexico tour that when we start our trip it is definitely going to take us more then a year on the road. I will be 52yrs old when our trip starts and we are super excited. We would like to say thank you for taking the time away from all your fun and making these amazingly awesome videos that inspire people like us to put together a bucket list trip. Thank you for letting everyone be a part of your family through video and letting us live vicariously through your family on your exploration and adventures. Hope to see you on the road one day, safe travels.❤

I loved reading the Milepost when we were on trips when we lived in Fairbanks! I am a constant paper map reader on trips so the Milepost was perfect for me! I couldn't wait to move out of Alaska because of the long cold winters and now I'd love to move back! Absence from Alaska does make the heart grow fonder.

[@daveswaisgood7995]

Great Alaska Series and Wrap-up! We spent 38 days from Ohio out West and then down to Texas and back Sept 3-Oct 10 watched you guys before and after our trip...always get ideas on RVing from you, enjoy it very much, maybe Alaska one day we'll see....still plenty here at all our National Parks we love them all!!! Enjoy being home!

[@brentjohnson6654]

Great video and recap. We totally enjoyed riding along with you guys.

Been watching since season 1. I am never disappointed. You guys have inspired us to get out there and travel more. We love you guys.

[@rockwestfahl]

“Know your rig,” absolutely! We bought ours two years ago and we love it, but we know now that it would not be the kind of trailer to make this trip. We did not know what we did not know and fortunately we were able to learn without disasters. Anyone who doubts that needs to check the episode describing the mods you made to Grand Ginger. You did this the right way and gave yourself and all of us a great experience. Thanks again!

[@daverice8304]

I find myself smiling the whole time during your videos. Keep up the great work!

[@klbarton81]

Great video, watching it on an actual TV this time, not my tiny phone screen, what a difference! I'm so hooked on your videos soooo much fun to watch, and learn so MUCH 😁🤗😊

[@brendalawrence6732]

Another great video! I loved all the tips, advice and resources for RVing in Alaska.

Looking forward to your next adventure! Hugs, Brenda

You two are the greatest! We had already decided we were going to drive to Alaska before we found your videos. We are now psyched! Going in late May through June. Still a little concerned about the weather, but it’s the only time we can go; so, will make the best of it! Thanks!

[@ricks.4176]

Thanks for sharing this great adventure and your follow-up. Season 5 of KYD has been the best yet. I think you guys should have your own show on The Travel Channel chronicling your trips with interviews, clips, tips, and your spectacular cinematography. Awesome job.

Great resource video! I definitely will use it to plan our Alaska trip. Spot on about knowing your rig! Starting with buying the rig you need/want then buying the vehicle to tow it. Having experience with towing, camping, “oh no, surprise” breakdowns & how fix them is needed (i.e. flat tire, knowing how to patch it or carrying an extra rig tire). Thank you making these Alaska (& other destinations) resource videos! Great channel! I’ve enjoyed your journeys & relied on your advice! Where will you go next? Safe travels

[@janicevoss864]

All your Alaska videos were great! This one was no exception, very helpful! We just got our class A motorhome on October 1st and I can’t imagine taking our first trip out to Alaska!! It will take us several months to be able to say we ready for that long of a trip. Great that you brought that up to the ones who said they were buying a rig and going to Alaska first. Safe travels 😊🇺🇸

[@rnes1961]

Thanks for all your Tips. Alaska has been on my list to do for several years now. I almost went last year, but could not take enough time off work. I plan on retiring in about 2 years, so that will be our first trip as a full timer.

Loved your alaskan travels. Brought back so many fond movies. Seeing trish drive alot helped me get the courage up for pulling our camper! Usually the hubby drives everywhere but we went to zion national park over the weekend about 400 miles away and I drove us all the way there!!! It was a bit nerve wracking but I got the feel for it. Now when we move back to Alaska I feel confident to help w all the miles!!!!! We love your videos. Its not a Sunday night without you guys on our TV! ❤

We spent a month in June (2016) in Alaska and basically did the same route you did. It rained every morning, but, turned beautiful the remainder of the day. I thought a month was too short, my kids thought it was too long. So much togetherness! Haha. Anyway, my husband and I plan to return (alone). We will only have ourselves to entertain!
