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.

[@carolyngregory9354]

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

[@janesmith8050]

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

[@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.

[@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.

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.

[@philipfedorchak6444]

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.

[@pennywillis8895]

🇦🇺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]

Aloha. Good on you! Me, some sausages, beer, water, a cot and a sleeping bag. With girlfriend, full bed of a truck.

[@elteescat]

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!

I have followed you for a long time now.. and live in California close to Folsom.. but just got home from spending two nights in Half Moon Bay, then Santa Cruz and then the Monterey Bay Aquarium with my mom daughters.. who are your age and grandkids. Came home to watch your latest video and even though I love them all this one was peaceful and a nice way to wind down 🤗 thank you for the great joy.. ❤☮️

[@owlgirl1998]

Fantastic video as always! I particularly liked the ending song you picked. Thanks for bringing us along for the fun!

[@neromar2672]

I had such a busy time lately and finally, I can take a moment to appreciate your videos and watch everything I missed out. Super soothing and entertaining at the same time! It feels like you really found exactly what you're living up for.

[@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.

[@kathrynhelm4176]

Well the fish gods were not generous but one was better than nothing. Bandit was a splashing fool and so much fun to watch. It was a beautiful area to camp in guys and it made a great video. Thanks for taking us with you. Hugs from Southern California. ❤️

[@lindapetersen1800]

So Beautiful to see the sights that you show us !!! Camping out is great to do !!! Thank you for this !!! It has been in the HIGH 90's here were I live in Illinois !!! So it is HOT !!!

I'm happy to see that my wife and I are not the only ones who use mason jars for cups. One of my favorite cups to use

[@naomidunbar719]

My husband and I used to fish with pickerel rigs on the North Saskatchewan River just north west of Saskatoon SK. We caught gold eye, walleye, sauger, saugeye (a mix of walleye and sauger), suckers, and small sturgeon. Since we had to have a special license for the sturgeon we always threw them back. We'd also throw back the suckers because they're not very good tasting and the gold eye because my husband only liked them smoked and we didn't have a smoker. It was a great and relaxing way to spend the day.

[@kimeverhart6253]

It was so great to see you guys having some fun, playing and relaxing, especially Bandit! I bet he just had the time of his life, playing and splashing and digging and swimming!! What a beautiful life you have!! Thank you for sharing your amazing Alaska!! ❤
