“We too are clean” 😂😂😂😂

[@FnAVanLife]

Hahha a good shower changes everything!!!

[@Wjgustaf]

The bears may not like the Paco. Enjoy your time in beautiful Alaska and stay safe.

[@FnAVanLife]

Hey Wronda, I wonder if bears have a taste for dog? 🐕 🍽 🐻 I'm sure they wouldn't love his bark. Hopefully we never have to find out!!! Xo Alex

[@davepalmetto]

Have fun and take care and take it easy and enjoy it

[@FnAVanLife]

Thank you so much David!

[@BartBourg]

Beautiful views everywhere you turn and look.

Amazing scenery!!! Have fun & safe travels 🚐🏞💚

[@FnAVanLife]

Thank you so much Christina!!!!

[@benbarnett1331]

Always stoked when your videos drop! My wife and I are in the process of getting a van for full-time Van Life as we speak. Can't wait to make it up to Alaska next year!

[@FnAVanLife]

Ben that is so awesome!!! We are stoked for you and your wife to get on the road. We'll have a whole guide to Alaska for you when you do get up here 🙌 Lots of love!!! Xo Alex

[@sophanarachay4917]

Magnifique. Le paysage, les gens, tout.

[@FnAVanLife]

Thank you so much Sophanara!!! ❣ Or should I say Merci!!!! Xo Alex

[@buddyduncan2095]

The way people accepts new people that are passing through

[@FnAVanLife]

The way life should be 🥰

[@jordanfisk3047]

Absolutely love the videos guys!!

[@FnAVanLife]

Jordan thanks so much. We really appreciate the love and the support. 🥰

[@SisterSherryDoingStuff]

I wish we had an image of that very glacier from 20 years ago...but it was much bigger. Packed filled adventure and fun!♥

[@FnAVanLife]

Some of the side by sides are crazy from then to now on the glaciers are wild. Its sad to see how much they've receided in such a short time. Apparently 2019 was super hot and just excellent everything even more. Glad we're here when we are!

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Tram up bike down would be so great ! Safe travels and great days to you all !

[@FnAVanLife]

I would love to do that need to rent a bike tho.

[@TellMeAboutYourDog]

Looks like fun! I so feel ya on the laundry day.

[@FnAVanLife]

It just something that has to get done ✔

[@elgringoec]

Killer stuff guys! Don't worry; it'll cycle more cold and snow again soon.

[@FnAVanLife]

Thank you so much GeoMac! Here's hoping! Those glaciers sure could use some more cold. Me.... not so much haha as long as Frankie keeps handling my frozen toes haha xo Alex

[@elgringoec]

@@FnAVanLife I'm with your Alex, too much cold is painful. Frankie is great keeping your toes from falling off. Although paco might be hoping for a snack...yikes! Yeah, don't let the fear mongers get you down. The climate's been changing since the earth was a ball of molten magma. The world will not crumble under the weight of greedy humans who love to travel and stay warm. We're in a warming part of the cycle at the moment and it'll change to cooling. It's a minor effect, they just want to get us scared so we'll put them in power to save us. But we need to fight the foolishness to maintain our freedom and independence. They would happily stop you from adventuring and exploring if they got their way, so be wise to their ways. Check past alarmists, the earth was supposed to be uninhabitable several times already and yet here we are. Of course we need to be good stewards of our environment -- keep our air, water, and land from abuse with our trash and toxins, leave places better than we find them, and keep it nice for our kids and grandkids to follow. But the envious ones want to make us out to be the destroyers, meanwhile we can't touch the mess the wildfires are making of our atmosphere and water. The alarmists are like internet trolls, but in real life. We hear about glaciers getting smaller in some areas but they never bring up that some others are getting bigger. Watch out when people with an agenda tell only part of a story while keeping the rest under wraps. God bless you! Onward and upward!

[@LadyBugout]

Love you guys! Excellent video. Keep having a blast💃🏻🐞🚗

[@FnAVanLife]

Thank you so much Dee!!! We are loving editing your podcast. Thank you so much for chatting with us ❤🐞

[@verniechristian5709]

So beautiful!!

[@FnAVanLife]

Alaska really is amazing you are gonna love the rest of the places we go.

[@DeborahLong7777]

You are so cute lol. Lunch? 3 day's food for me and unreal view's! Enjoy! Much love from Texas ❤

[@FnAVanLife]

Haha 😄 we do love to eat!!! Sending you so much love in Texas!!!!

[@karppadiem7014]

Don't know what to say about the scenery other than OMG! 💕 Truly magical. Thanks for taking us along. 💖 When I read the video overlay I thought it said 'I said YES' and I kept waiting for a proposal. 🤣 -Aimee

[@FnAVanLife]

Hahaha say yes to adventure and life. But that will come one of these days. 😉

[@sunflowersvixen]

This is just so amazing 💛🌻👍

[@FnAVanLife]

Thank you so much Vixen! We love Alaska!!

[@SunTzu2024]

I would suggest the drive from Anchorage to McCarthy Alaska. To visit the old famous Kennecott copper mine and glacier . A beautiful drive so much wildlife, free camping.

[@FnAVanLife]

Thank you so much Patriot! We have the mine on our list. We'll be getting there soon enough ❤ lots of love!!! Alex

[@bookathevanman9948]

Frankie: That glacier was so cool! Watching the ice just fall into the water making waves mann! Me: Well Frankie, that's really not cool. It's global warming. Not good. 🤪

[@FnAVanLife]

Yeah regardless it would naturally happen in the summer. It is just happening way to fast due to global warming. Which is definitely shitty.

[@danieldoes4568]

I was with a group camp and saw y’all at the Laundromat! Funny coincidence I decided to look for some vanlife tours and found your channel.

[@FnAVanLife]

omg that's too funny! We loved that laundromat haha Hope you had a blast with your group camp and excited for you to dip your toe into van life! We're here if you ever have any questions xo Alex

[@genesiesky3756]

Looking forward to hearing what you think of the Salty Dog Saloon on the Homer Spit.

[@FnAVanLife]

We got your message to last about salty dog unfortunately 😒 but we really did enjoy Homer Spit. 🥰

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

Ha ha - your lunch towards the end 😂 We hope to get to Alaska within a few years (want to upgrade our vehicles prior). Hoping it doesn’t loose too much in the beauty department by then.

[@FnAVanLife]

That lunch was delish!!!! haha Definitely a good idea to upgrade before coming since it can get pretty wild here. Most of the main road are really good but if you want to go deep, you'll need something beefy! We're putting a guide together with all our boondocking locations from this summer so keep an eye out! xo Alex

[@lindabeswick5783]

We sold our house and begin van life tomorrow!! Semi retirement...we shall see how it goes!

[@FnAVanLife]

Oh snap best of luck!!!! You guys are going to love it.

[@elmog0218]

DAYUMMMMM!! What a beautiful place! How are you guys ever gonna leave?

[@FnAVanLife]

hahaha Ellen!!!! We keep asking ourselves that but my frozen toes are thinking otherwise 😅 xo Alex

[@achfamoutdoors4181]

Do you post good boondocking in your book? Love the places you have found

[@FnAVanLife]

We post all of them in the book. 🥰

[@davidhicks6934]

Awesome Alaska video series! Headed there in September for 3 weeks. Your touring has helped us with our planning (Thanks for the hand-tram update). Wife wants to know where you picked up your cool sunglasses??!!

[@FnAVanLife]

Hey David! So excited for you guys to come explore Alaska!! Its truly beautiful. Do you mean the cool pink sunglasses? amzn.to/3liKG2W

[@davidhicks6934]

@@FnAVanLife Those ARE awesome shades, but she's really digging your "cat eyes" and "browlines/wayfarers pairs. And thanks for the reply!

[@davidhicks6934]

And she's Ginger. If you decide to, ya know, give her a shout out for noticing your awesome style. :)

[@FnAVanLife]

Haha I am flattered!!! The cat eye glasses were from Target in store. Thank you Ginger for noticing!!!! Let me do some recon and see if I can find them online. Xo

[@WC3isBetterThanReforged]

Its sad that someone died but that's a stupid reason to keep the hand tram closed. I've lapped it many times. Follow the rules and you'll be just fine.

[@FnAVanLife]

Safety first I guess! We heard they intended to do some fixes but with covud everything got pushed off. Hopefully people can use it soon!
