Self-guided Moose & Caribou Hunting in Alaska: Episode 6 - Moving to Moose Country

It’s day six of Ian Harford and Steve Wild’s epic Alaskan adventure and today is moving day. It’s a wet and cold morning as they begin to take down their camp and prepare to relocate to moose country. The team have the challenging task of packing down all of their equipment ready for the arrival of bush pilot, Cole Hawkins.
Welcome to Self-Guided Hunting in Alaska on Team Wild TV.
After an incredible five days in Caribou country, it’s time to move onto a new location that is known to have a strong population of moose and grizzly bear. However, an unexpected cold night has made packing an even tougher challenge. With ice on the tents and frozen water bottles, Ian and Steve are against the clock making sure everything is ready for Cole’s arrival.
Cole is still trying to catch up on his schedule after three solid weeks of rain. Ian and Steve do their best to help move things along swiftly and smoothly as possible. Making sure everything is packed ready to load onto the plane. Ian is the first to head out of caribou country with Steve and cameraman James following soon after.
Before moving onto moose country the team make a quick pit stop at a local airfield to change planes. Once again it’s a tight schedule and all the equipment needs to be unloaded quickly and moved onto the Maul M5. Ian travels with the first load into moose country and begins to set up camp. Soon after Steve and James follow with the remaining equipment.
With the weather still on their side, Ian and Steve know a storm could be right around the corner. They tirelessly continue to set up camp, using large rocks from a nearby creek to hold down the guide ropes attached to the tent.
It’s been another busy day and the team now find themselves in their new home for the next few days. After spending some time glassing the surrounding area, it’s time for a coffee as tomorrow will be another epic down in the Alaskan wilderness.

Another great start to my Thursday watching Ian and Steve. Thanks again.

[@zachariaszut]

Impressive landscape, immersive footage. The closest thing next to being there. Thanks. And when will the next episode be?

[@TeamWildTV]

zachariaszut glad you’re enjoying the series. New episodes are published every Thursday 😃👍

[@joshlaubach8166]

I see you had Barney packs, could you please tell me which bags you had attached to them? Hunter bag with meat shelf or Pinnacle bag no meat shelf? I’m trying to decide for an upcoming diy Alaska moose hunt. Which do you guys prefer?

Good episodes so far, but why so short and with no "hunting action", 10min of footage of you packing and unpacking ... in a 30min episode, ok, but as an entire episode ? More videos = more money ?!

[@TeamWildTV]

TheKribbi unfortunately not. We create these films to you to watch for free and no, we don’t get paid per episode. We’ve tried to include all aspects of the hunt so you can appreciate everything that’s involved and enjoy a realistic experience of wilderness hunting. If you just want to watch films of animals being killed, I’m afraid this is probably not the series for you. Happy hunting!

There is always one, loved every episode lads, keep them coming thanks.

@@TeamWildTV I totally understand, it is just a bit frustrating having only the "beginning" of a hunting action and not having the follow up right after, of course the most important part of hunting is everything BUT killing ! Friendship, landscapes, hard work,... I was just making a statement about having small episodes with sometimes only travel and not bigger ones with a travel, spotting,... But your videos are great nevertheless !!!

[@troycrittle9809]

I’ve found the entire series repetitive and the narration waffly and verbose.

[@TeamWildTV]

Troy Crittle Sorry about that Troy. Thank you for your helpful criticism. We’ll try harder next time.
