SITKA Presents: River

[@Cody_Austin]

I wish more people who never had an upbringing in hunting would watch this film. This is beautiful. What an exceptional film!

[@josephbaker4319]

I am one of those people. Snowboarded and played in hills my whole life(37) and archery hunting for 5. Killed 4 whitetail and hopefully my first elk this late season. Awesome vid

[@meekymango]

Wish granted ✨️ it look awesome.

[@BALOOBEAR77]

I've never had an upbringing in hunting, I've always fished. I've always wanted to hunt, don't even know where to begin. This is a beautiful film and I think your comment is spot on.

[@Cody_Austin]

@@meekymango I can promise you that some of the best memories and experiences you will ever have are made while hunting. Good luck, be safe.

[@brettd530]

Agreed.

[@jacobsmith8194]

Such a sick video. Need more hunting videos that are done this well. Eric is such an inspiration from hunting to fishing to music to snowboarding. Thank you Sitka for creating this masterpiece.

[@sasquatchrosefarts]

If you call good things sick, then please just stay in the city. Nobody needs your city gibberish.

[@tylerfuller7174]

Awesome video! This should make all of us outdoors men & woman go back to when the times were simple, and love what god gave us.

[@hubertstrzalkowski1261]

RIVER... this means a lot to me. I don't get to get out there nearly enough, and woods and rivers, are my home, and only places I feel comfortable. Thank you. People don't understand the connection with, and the power of a river, and Outdoors in in general.

[@anil_taneja]

"Awww, buddy. Thank you!" What a special moment.

[@MRCRUM77]

The best one I’ve seen in a while. 4 stars love it

[@Mrgoofyoops]

Great film! I am so impressed with how well the spiritual journey is expressed - not least the way he thanked the animal. The way he talks about how mistakes and failures are necessary and opportunities to learn and get better. My favorite hunting movie yet!

[@tyb3938]

Great Story Telling. We moved out west three years ago and chasing elk is spiritual for us. First two years I learned by screwing it up w my bow but wife and daughter took 6x5 and 5x5 w gun, dropped in tracks. This year I finally shot a nice bull w my bow, only to bump him into terrain we could not enter wo ropes. Then our son drops a trophy six in his tracks, only to have the herd walk over and wake him up after 12 minutes upside down and he runs off w zero blood trail. This season we worked so hard and had success ripped from our fingers, but we learn from those failures and grow stronger for next season. Welcome to your new passion, it will consume you.

[@stevenwhinnery52]

Amazingly well done. Whoever filmed and edited this made me feel like I was there in person. Love how you tell how passionate Eric is about the outdoors. Seems like a real genuine, good dude.

[@TechAssuranceATL]

Great film, nice commentary, entertaining and emotional captivating…well done

[@ajillian1]

Not your typical hunting vid. Professional cinematography. Really well done.

[@keithwood8985]

Absolutely wonderful video. I’m 42 years old and have two sons 12 & 13. I just sent this video to them and asked them to watch it, because what you showed in it is my wish for them one day. Please keep up with these videos.

[@jerryvincent8402]

I hunted all my younger years. I love the thought of the hunt and not over doing. Great video and will if watched teach folks about the spirit of the outdoors.🇺🇸🐻

[@HuntinHorns]

Such a powerful video and journey thank you so much for sharing and takin us along

[@SITKAGear]

Stoked you enjoyed the film.

[@lesdunbar6019]

I am not a hunter, but I really enjoyed Eric's video and how he presented the whole experience, well done

[@kennethpelletier1667]

My parents are from northern Maine, so we spend tons of time in the Alagash. Love hunting and love this video

[@VRGPICTURES]

Bravo Sitka! Well done, Eric! Stoked for you!

[@MrGrant440]

That was great story!! Thanks for creating this story so we could enjoy!

[@ryanstewart1521]

This is the best hunting vid I’ve ever seen, I am stoked on how much respect these guys have for the sacred bull elk. And I thought I was going to be a snowboard movie, lol.

[@ryangrove2579]

One of the best hunting videos ive watched in awhile!!!

[@user-vw2zt8te9p]

Best thing I’ve seen on a screen in a while…thank you.

[@wapitibob]

One of the best stories I've seen told. thank you

[@ericsolveson5972]

Best hunting film I’ve ever watched. Thank you. From my soul.

[@seanconnors654]

What a film, great story and cinematography. Truly inspirational

[@Sashwa6]

Great work everyone! Beautiful film!

[@ericlind3569]

I’ve been a huge fan of Eric’s snowboarding and fly fishing for years. Always knew he was an avid outdoorsman. Glad to see this class act is teamed up with my favorite camo brand. Great film!!!

[@AngeLFaN1134]

The production level of this is insane! I thoroughly enjoyed every second. Well done to the entire team capturing the story and emotion that so many of us experience out there but can never truly seem to put it into words. Great job.

[@francismonette2499]

Very good video ! Inspiration hunting, snowboarding and music ! Great job !

[@nickharris9026]

What a great little film !!! Thank you 🦘

[@havingagooutdoors4133]

I fricken loved this film! What a great film sitka. Such a humble bloke undertaking another difficult pursuit in life 🤙 much respect brother I will be looking forward to see your next great archery hunt 🏹

[@ray_rollin]

This video is a masterpiece in both hunting and cinematography.

[@johnreagan4162]

Great hunt, y'all. That's a great first elk and hard-earned. Also cool to see someone else giving their arrows good names and taking a little bit of the memory with you on a hunt. Excellent film all the way around. Thank you.

[@rickoehlerking9806]

This video is exceptional as it shows every aspect of hunter preparation and pursuit. Nerve racking felt like I was there for the final stalk and bull elk down bro!! 👋🏻

[@cristallightcodes]

EPIC!!! Love Eric Jacksons films! 🤩 always very humbling and inspiring and overall feel good! Please keep em coming! 💚🏞️🏂🎣🦌

[@greensboro_nc]

Awesome video. Amazing sound. Spectacular! Thanks for sharing Sitka.

[@tjdoyle8511]

This is unreal!! Well done Sitka

[@danikai2562]

Why is this unreal?

[@jslivin1]

Badass. Growing up snowboarding and getting into hunting later in life this really resonates. Keep it up!

[@akkenai417]

Such a great film! Congrats to all who were involved.

[@j.hboutique2745]

Absolutely beautiful film, huge inspiration. Thank you all involved ❤💚

[@mikekuczynski1552]

I’m 73 and have been doing this all my life , welcome to life as we know it . There is plenty more to do

[@armandoveloz5644]

Well well well done. Here is some of these👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽and one of these🤟🏻

[@07kdjohnson1]

Cool to see Bellingham on here and some of my roots! Congrats on the elk journey!

[@j.e.wilds-hunting]

Very cool guys, big congrats to all involved

[@saltwaterlou]

Such an epic video. Hunters are the greatest advocate for conservation; taking only what we need. It's unfortunate we're not depicted that way. The struggle is a beautful thing, it makes us each better for it!!!

[@jayonez137]

Amen to that

[@teamskeet129310]

Love videos like this! I’m a die hard bowhunter and snowboarder who grew up watching guys like Eric Jackson kill it on snow and now to see how that love for the outdoors translated to bowhunting is so sick! Maybe someday I’ll see you in the snowy backcountry or in the mountains chasing elk. 🤘🏹

[@michalvujcik2044]

What an awesome movie Well done 🤙

[@SITKAGear]

Thanks Michal!

[@brettd530]

Well done fellas and congrats to Eric. Highly enjoyable video. Eric you're damn right "this is good for you", in more ways than one, nothing is better. Can relate to Eric in many ways. I grew up snowboarding, fishing, and hunting in and around the beautiful mountains of Leadville Co. I still do all these things, only in the beautiful mountains of Far-Far-Nor-Cal now. Of course I still make my annual trips back to Colorado for deer and elk season. Again, well done guys. PS. Sorry Eric, your brother is still my favorite snowboarder 😎✌️

[@Mrbigpool]

Unreal video. Thanks for putting this together

[@brandonparker3278]

This was an amazing video, y'all did an awesome job and this guy in the video is awesome and I'd watch any video with him hunting in it. I deal with depression and been wanting to hit the woods like this and just lose myself in the woods and all it beauty. Thank you guys for this video.

[@ryanlamont4417]

Hang in there brother. I’ve dealt with depression and horrible anxiety for 42 years. Get out in the woods, exercise and eat real meat and fat. Cutting out sugar and carbs has make a huge change in my life. The last year has been a major turn around. Keep truckin and never give up. The struggle makes you stronger even when everything in your body is telling you otherwise. Nature is medicine. Get out and enjoy it.

[@ClarkAlexander_PureFunding]

Very well done! Absolutely loved it 🤘

[@byronhendrixfishing8393]

What an incredible edit. Truly award winning piece. The back story and tying it all together 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Timberjo2]

Incredible film. Great storytelling. Look forward to seeing more of Eric's adventures in the elk woods.

[@daviddemand6856]

One of the best videos yet!

[@africanbornadventures]

This is the best elk hunt Iv watched. Great stuff!

[@80sRadDad]

Some of the best content on KZbin right now!!! Well Done Sitka! More, More, More!

[@johngunn7947]

Absolutely Spiritual! thanks for sharing this experience

[@swooningloonflyfishing]

Really fantastic watch. Transitions in life are remarkable and exceptionally rewarding, if allowed to be. Finding passion and understanding in one's self are gifts each person should receive. Great work!! Great story!!

[@noahburt2722]

As a video maker and someone who loves to be outdoors your channel is so incredibly inspirational. Thank you for making these ❤️

[@KC-7mm]

What a beautifully put together film. Seeing you show the respect and appreciation for that animal was my favorite part. Well done.

[@christopher3073]

Good job everyone. That is a very heartfelt experience. Makes me feel good to be a hunter.

[@walter992]

Great video. Gets to the heart of why we do what we do...whatever that may be.

[@SITKAGear]

Thanks for tuning in, Walter!

[@aaabackcountryguides9088]

Great story telling Eric

[@wilhelmpettygrove7857]

This was an excellent video, I watched your guys first video you did and this tops it off seeing you guys hunt again. Great work boys.

[@gorila1958]

Super video with excellent narration and story. I could literally feel like I was there with ya . Congrats sir .

[@OutdoorsAllie]

this made my soul soar

[@merlinmercer1308]

I'm So happy You Found The Truth of LIFE Brother 👍 Our Mother IS Always Here for US ... ...... .........

[@bent8024]

I freakin loved watching this. The story, the photography, the lessons learned…. 🤙🏼

[@milehighfly8301]

Love the video. if we could all learn to live backwards, the earth would be thankful for the hunters not the opposite. Thank you for sharing your journey! hopefully our paths meet in the woods one day

[@robertfmccarthy2360]

Very very coooool So much more than a harvest The bond with nature

[@ericmackay7435]

Great video well done, even heard some Joshua Ray Walker in there. Nice touch. "Canyon," very fitting song for this film. One of my favorites.

[@MrHip76]

Incredible video. Amazing grab of the process to become a hunter. Interesting dude as well.

[@grantfloyd3736]

This video was so well done. Holy moly. As an editor myself, I really appreciate the time and effort it took to make this video absolutely perfect, which is what it is: absolutely perfect.

[@LFC911]

Great video and a lot of nuggets and gems in there that you don't realize until you're out there in the woods with elk inside the bubble.

[@Bowhunterohio]

To not only draw a tag the first time putting in on it and then filling that tag with a bull the fist year is a feat most will never accomplish. A lot of hard work goes into Bowhunting. There are a lot of failures and alot of lost arrows. Lol. Great video. Watching the snow boarding reminded me of when I lived in western Colorado and we would sled up into the grand mesa to do some snow boarding. I miss it so much. I’m not sure why I moved to Ohio but one day I will be moving back to Colorado.

[@TravisCrusch]

Amazing film one of the best Iv seen in a long time!

[@_kabseh]

I don’t know anything about hunting but this was incredible! thanks for sharing your experience

[@SITKAGear]

Thank you for the kind words, Mariam.

[@manuelsuda]

[@fredles1]

[@cdl2400]

[@davidbarnhart1994]

Awesome film! Thanks

[@rezboy327]

Live your life to the fullest!!!! You only got this one life ticket to live!!! Do all that you want to fulfill your life story. Regardless of what people think!!!

[@kippbolt5449]

Incredible story telling. Love it.

[@apolitelife]

This is easily one my favorite internet films of all time.

[@SITKAGear]

We're glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for tuning in!

[@StevenDrakePhoto]

Incredible!! Best 23 minutes of my day!

[@francismonette2499]

Really great 🤟👊 Good job #sitkagear

[@MaxKobuk]

Raddest baddest video I’ve seen in a while 🤙🏻

[@anthonystoll5289]

I find it so hard to believe that there’s so many folks who believe nature and its bounty is endless. Couldnt of said it better myself

[@The_ZenTex]

Love it! My "river" spot is on the Guadalupe sitting in my kayak listening to the water trickle, a squirrel or two scurrying around and a distant gobble.

[@bigdaddy7986]

Just bought Sitka for the first time and I love it.

[@bobbyregan206]

This is sooooo well done, cannot say it enough. Also in respects to size we don't eat the antlers, its about the experience and the resourcefulness of the animal!!

[@Randy_Savage_ohyeah]

Excellent film!

[@rsanoian]

Great video guys, I am looking forward to taking my first Elk soon.

[@strangetryp53]

Cheers from Vermont…Wicked cool film.
