RV Alaska Series #18 | Dunking My Drone, Bears, Tunnels & Trains

[@randall271]

It sucks that your drone decided to go for a swim. Hope you can get it working. Kevin sure was excited about the frozen bait vending machine. I was waiting for him to jump up and down and ask you "please, please, please dad can we get some frozen bait out of the vending machine, that would be so awesome, please please dad can we." Trip through the tunnel was pretty cool. Another great video. Safe Travels

[@francisa751]

That's what makes you one of most appreciated youtubers, going where everyone says is not worthwhile and showing us all incredible views. Many thanks, someone bless you.

[@marketshare5273]

I was just waiting for Kevin to blow a train whistle in the tunnel, he must be back on his meds.😂👍👊😎

[@imanoleonardo6902]

That abandoned building would be a great place to film the Shining

[@KenSagendorph]

Took me about a month. But with a few days of binge watching: I have watched every episode. Kelli n I are going to become FTers when the nest becomes empty n we retire. I’m looking forward to retirement, can not come soon enough.

[@movingthemarq1630]

Sorry about your drone Paul. The footage that it took before dying was gorgeous.

[@paulrodrigues9603]

Paul you could always PM the rack jokes!

[@leann4925]

Enjoyed seeing the water falls, the wild life (you got to see a bear), the ride through the tunnel to a beautiful place. Hopefully the drone will still work just let it dry out real good. Thanks! Love Y'all!

[@janicevoss864]

Whittier looks really beautiful! Your new camera lens has made a great improvement to the videos. Safe travels 😊🇺🇸

[@jennifergrody]

That tunnel was so cool!! Alaska is so amazing thank you for sharing!

[@brianwright6522]

DJI should be sponsoring you, for all the drone rv people that follow your adventures. You don’t need to name it. We all know what you fly. They should supply you with the Pro series and all the trimmings. That is a Mavic 2 , isn’t it? Great pictures !

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

I appreciate that Brian! It's a Mavic Air. And it's still working even after it's ice bath! Lol!

[@bcp583]

Very cool!! The Buckner building and tunnel would be worth the drive!!! Thanks for sharing your experiences.

[@idahartman6888]

I thought you were really funny when you told the drone you were e-vac-ing him. I had heard you should keep all of those little packs of beads that come when you buy things like a new purse or beef jerky. Keep them all in a jar for emergencies like this. They are meant to pull off and repel moisture.

[@MidnightVisions]

@14:10 The tunnel is a combined train and road traffic, shared by both. Set times determines who is allowed to go through.

[@4blake]

Yeah avoid Whittier, especially if Kevin gets in your shot lol! Great video you guys!

[@regenagroen4631]

You are too funny lol!!! talking to the drone lol!!! That's why I Love you guys!!! GREAT/BEAUTIFUL VIEWS GUYS!!! WOW!!!! & the tunnel ride AWESOME!!! Love all of you!!! Big Hugs... including Ozzy!!! Thanks for the GORGEOUS VIEWS!! Sorry about the drone, does it work now?

[@none-ya-dam821]

What helps is to put it in a box with one of those containers of Damp Rid.

[@robertahightower5592]

Well, you did get some beautiful shots!

[@gordieh5889]

Whittier is were the cruise ships take off. The tunnel was neat.

[@JW-es5un]

ALASKA IS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL FROM TOP TO BOTTOM & SIDE TO SIDE

[@brendaschroeder2166]

Hope your drone can come back to life.

[@judycarey9051]

Great scenery and tunnel.

[@judystreich7333]

Lorena, this is for you. If you two ever get back to Oregon, you must visit Wildlife Safari right near Roseberg, and I-5. It is a drive thru and totally awesome. My daughter lived in Oregon for a few years and she took myself and girlfriend there, it was the best day. She also booked a ride on the HellGate Jetboat Dinner Excursion for a Mothers’s day gift, what a great ride and dinner, they really know how to do it up. Link for the wildlife tour is WildlifeSafari.net. And the jetboat ride is hellgate.net a real Adrenalin rush.

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Thank you Judy. For some reason all the Hell's Gate stuff was closed when we went through.

[@williambrancati6436]

That tunnel reminds me of the Diehard movie where the water was chasing Bruce Willis through the sewer tunnel. Oh by the way, that fur on the antlers is called "velver" and it peels off after the rack is done growing for the season. You probably knew that, but thought I'd mention it for the inexperienced viewers out there.

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

I did not know that! Thanks for sharing William!

[@LadyMarie880]

It's a cool cool place.You Guys got lucky little fog and were able to see the views. Safe journey. Bye Bye

[@dianeculbertson3377]

Liked the 8-10 saggy rooms and emergency phones as you go through the tunnel. Ate there, good fresh seafood!

[@rickj.3990]

Fantastic video, good luck with the drone.

[@2krain22]

Very cool....Safe travels my friends

[@abbyhawkins3082]

How cool was that!

[@scottythompson940]

cool rv alaska talk

[@madie72451]

Tunnel was scary! We went thru one in Norway. All under water! It was 7 miles. In the tunnel was posted 1 mile in, 2 miles in etc till you got to 4. Then it said 3 miles to out, 2 miles to out etc. they also had panic pull offs ever so often. Crazy!!

[@julieh3327]

The virgin creek falls was beautiful - - sorry about the drone. :’(. Loved the wildlife center. The baby moose was adorable! The way you described the tunnel as one way - - reminded me of “Hotel California” - you can come but you can’t leave!! :D

[@chrisbellofatto9179]

Bummer about the drone. Always enjoy the drone shots. Let’s see, first the phone retrieval on a glacier now the drone through icy waters. Damn! The things a man will do to get back his toys. The tunnel was awesome! Best of luck and stay safe

[@Riker-eq2yv]

The tunnel was great to see,,, maybe the next time you do a live broadcast you could let us know how you met Kevin and his wife,, how he makes a living. You’s seem to get along so well

[@ottusdriftwood4438]

Great stuff

[@PidasianHippie]

I hope the drone did not die. Wow. Whittier is beautiful. I think I would have to ride the train through that tunnel. The older building reminds me of footage I have seen form Chernobyl. Safe travels

[@pats7276]

So amazing! Catcha later. Safe travels. 🚆❤

[@summitdave8782]

Very awesome.....Love that place....

[@gailrobinson7125]

Nice video of Whittier area. Looks like there’s more buildings and businesses there now compared to when we visited there over 20 years ago. We’ve driven through the tunnel and also been through on the train. You used to be able to drive your vehicle onto the train and ride through in your car. That was fun! Hope you were able to resurrect your drone. Thanks for another great video! 👍😀

[@leonardburns1780]

that was a very nice trip and I enjoyed it a lot thanks ehhh

[@pattiemongillo530]

That tunnel was awesome. As were the animals at the Conservation area. Waterfalls every where, how lucky are you guys to have seen all that. I hope the drone made a recovery. Safe travels.,.

[@myjeepzia]

Awesome

[@duathlete827]

Putting an electronic device in rice or a drying agent is about the third thing you do. The first thing you do is make sure the unit is off and do not be tempted to turn it on to see if things work. The second thing is to remove and battery(s) from the unit. The third thing is to dry the unit as much as possible without damaging it. Then whether you put it in ice or a drying agent allow it to sit for at least 24 hours or longer depending on what it is.

[@russadkins7368]

Another great video. I would love to some time make our way up there. Do they make water proof drones. Lol.

[@frozenoem1]

battery removal, and buy a couple of pounds of dessicant from WalMart or Camera store, works better than rice.

[@RichBrandt]

When you’re in a Canyon like that I thing you may lose GPS signal and crash. At least that’s what happened to me, no water though

[@gthornton3]

Whoop whoop I’m first to see this video. Great journey. Thx for sharing

[@lolal1026]

Good thing there was a first responder around for the drone.... the difference between Alaskian racks & Vegas'....Alaskian's are all natural...lol... couldn't resist

[@AlliChuckAdventures]

That tunnel was amazing!!!

[@davidbrickey5925]

Another awesome video.👍🐥

[@gordieh5889]

I love this video just wish we could have seen a closer look at the wolves. They are very difficult to see in the wild as they are shy.

[@seannielsen6587]

When are you going to start up on Patreon????? Thank you for another great video!!!!

[@kevinransom5560]

Great job as usual. Hope the drone thing works out! Kevin seriously has never seen bait in a vending machine?

[@RVingwiththeMoracas]

not too much ;-) nice working editing the video. I too love my Mavic Air ....

[@calicojunctionisclosed]

Don't tell everyone it's great place leave it as a hidden gem from the tourists the tunnel is really worth the money nothing else like it

[@lethomps1]

When that happens you need to get the battery off as soon as possible. I have the same drone and color. Great quad but not water proof. lol

[@AlliChuckAdventures]

Yup and let it dry completely before ever trying to power it up again. I have the Mavic Air too...black one.

[@Streamer687]

Larry...Look up Short Stopper current limiter protection (youtube video) I put the link here somewhere...but more than ONE "Link"...makes it spam..right?

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

I didn't mention it, but I did yank the battery immediately after pulling it out if the creek. Lol!

[@ScottMeister]

"Those enormous racks they have". Now, you *knew* Paul wouldn't let that one go! :D

[@abbyhawkins3082]

Does that water in the bay freeze over and what do they do with the boats? Safe travels!

[@curtwalp5120]

That's a whole lot of nothing you're showing us! Safe travels and good health.

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

😀

[@victoriaheatherly2656]

That was wonderful ! But don’t go to Whittier ...

[@bruceh3786]

You got some real nice drone footage until ...... crunch! Sorry to see that. I have been researching drones and the Mavic Air, that you have, is at the top of my list. One thing I read was the anti collision sensors on drones work best in good light so the darkness of the canyon my have been a contributing factor for the failure of the drone to stop. I noticed in my research DJI, the maker of the Mavic Air, offers an optional policy that is called Care Refresh, which is basically a one year insurance policy for crashes. It is $89 for the policy and then if you wreck it, they will replace it for an additional $69 for the first replacement and $99 for a second replacement. After that you are done. I look at the replacement fee as being similar to a deductible of an insurance policy. They will renew the policy for a second year for I think for $69 if you have any crashes left. It sure beats the original cost of $800. I hope you had Care Refresht but I am thinking you did not since it was not mentioned. It does cover water crashes. If you have to get a new drone, will you get another Mavic Air and what are your thoughts on the Care Refresh option. I am thinking it would be a good idea at least for a new pilot until they get good at flying one of these. It looks like we will have to wait until the next video to find out the fate of the poor Mavic Air.

You finally saw a bear :D

[@mark8163]

There is nowhere in Alaska that there is nothing to see. There is always something pretty.

[@hoss1003]

Great stuff again, guys. Have you 4 guys ever thought of changing your channel name to, The VeganRV Motorhome Experiment ? I watch both and it would save me a minute or two. 🤢😁🤢

[@christybrainard6134]

I hope that this video doesn't get reported because of the bear butt! lol
