SURPRISE MOOSE! - [Living In Alaska 277]

[@CulpFiction]

So I recently subscribed to your channel, and can I just say that I'm so psyched to watch! There's a serious genuineness about you guys that is so refreshing, and an infectious happiness and excitement that comes across so well on camera, and I just love what I've seen so far. So anyway, just keep doing what you're doing! I love it! ❤️

[@CulpFiction]

+CulpFiction As for a meetup, unfortunately I don't think we'd be able to swing it, only because we're currently living in Vegas and it's a _little_ out of the way, but I would LOVE to see footage from whatever you end up doing! We vlog as well, and a meetup would seriously be my dream haha. I love meetup vlogs!

[@TheStrangelyDeranged]

As somebody who has been watching Cory for over 8 years, he really is an amazing guy! He's had some Hugh's and lows in his life, but you should really start at the beginning of this channel and watch all of his stuff :]

[@CdnChopSuey]

+TheStrangelyDeranged and might I add that both Kristen and Cory are both ridiculously gorgeous human beings!!

[@XSemperIdem5]

Hey there. Don't you just love how excited he gets about nature's beauty?

[@CulpFiction]

XSemperIdem5 Yes! It's infectious! I love it!

[@IMPStudio]

Alaska meetup would be awesome.... but the 13,400 mile round trip might be a bit much for me :(

[@IMPStudio]

Although. via Sweden it's only a 10,000 mile round trip!

[@mrzinemc5348]

+[IMP] MelesMeles are u from finland?

[@liamgallagher9939]

Well, im 13 and I live in london.

[@IMPStudio]

MrZineMC UK, but I don't believe there is a Direct flight from here to Alaska, would have to go via New York or Sweden I 'think'

[@Groenmos]

It's a 15 hour journey from the Netherlands, it would be awesome, but yeah, money.

[@mnmoosewriter]

Had to share this to my FB page. Living in Minnesota, we get use to snow [and complain...well some, I love winter] I asked the question "how do you see winter?" after watching your video. It's important to refresh our eyes to the beauty of what is around us [that we take for granted - your top reasons for your channel.] I look at life similar to you Cory, though I have to touch and taste things sometimes, to heighten my sensory as well. 25 years ago a very good friend told me when you attend a symphony [or similar] to close your eyes as you hear more when you eyes are not there to distract you....I ran with that idea on life as a whole. You probably wont see this, but I had been planning on moving to Alaska for a couple-three years, until recently with all the earthquakes...I might rethink that commitment. If my life ends as I think it will in the next 5 yrs, I want it to be somewhere beautiful...I just don't want all my "stuff" falling to the ground and breaking because of an earth shake festival. :-) Also: Not sure if I will be able to watch your channel after you have a daughter...It will make me to sad never having experienced it and always wanting to be a dad..or married to a woman like your Kristen...she is such a peach. YOUR A LUCKY MAN CORY.

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

To Michael in the intro I just want to say #MichiganProud ! hehehe Cory, Rivers don't tend to freeze like likes. Because most rivers are flowing, it is much harder for them to freeze. Rule of Thumb in Michigan, is to stay off the rivers. :)

[@R3HAB3D]

+Gone to the Snow Dogs i love watching ur vlogs ur dogs are super cute :) keep up the awesome work

[@Earendilgrey]

I was going to comment the same thing. Winter rule of thumb, running water usually doesn't freeze thick unless it's super cold.

[@NightwingGR1]

+Gone to the Snow Dogs I'd love to see what you guys would come up with for an intro(kind alike a mini-colab with Cory!)

[@peppermollyrusty]

+Gone to the Snow Dogs Random question, ae you a dog musher?

[@heatherschnurr8429]

i love your videos (: Memphis is such a little piggy 💕

[@EmoExpression]

I would fly to Alaska from California to be able to meet you Cory. I've looked up to you for 9 years and I even though you don't really know me, you've changed my life. I was a super shy 11 year old and you've taught me that it's okay for me to be who I really am. It's okay to have ADHD. It's okay to be silly. And best of all it's okay to try and make people happy. I am so glad that after everything you've been through in life you have a gorgeous wife and a beautiful daughter and a lovely home. I hope to one day be even a fraction of the man you are. Love you guys.

[@UncoordinatedPixie]

Be thankful you get snow. If it snows where I live, it never lasts. Snow one day and it's 50 the next day. But I love it when it does snow here. It makes everything so pretty and serene. :)

[@TheUFail]

Haven't you heard the Moose at 5:45 ? Or am i hallucinating ? :D Anyways Great Video I even snapped some screenshots for my Desktop Background since its not snowing here in Germany.

[@mala_berlin]

Crazy how many Germans are watching DudeLikeHella!

[@kojmas]

+The UFaIL He farted

[@taylorkimball1003]

+The UFaIL I heard it.

[@LegenDove]

+The UFaIL maybe you're hallMOOSEinating?

[@TheUFail]

Get out xD New House Production Studios

[@connorraine261]

You should do a yearly meet up, that way people who can't come because of work or money or something can get to do it the next year 😄

[@1l0veGod]

+Hinata Linn Agreed.

[@FrankVannier]

+Hinata Linn I second that! :-D

[@gerhardkutt1748]

ADHD is NOT an illness - it just means that people are wired differently. ADHD people are high performers and are actually an upgraded human being. Their strength is their own perhaps more limited capabilities in terms of less wide a scope of capabilities, but greater depth and focus on what they can do. When working in a group of diverse abilities - the combined abilities will bring about a change on this planet that is unprecedented and where the 'older' model human beings are not capable of. Cory is a film maker of exceptional talent. Your subject matter is intriguing, poignant, touching and inspiring in a way that connects people. I am very grateful to you Cory for producing these Blogs. I live in Hong Kong, and I love that you share your life with us. Thank you.

[@ronhowe11]

I live in Colorado, but i was fortunate to have worked in Alaska for 2 years in the 90's in Prudhoe Bay. The job was 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off. Most of the time I flew back to Colorado but sometimes my wife would come up. I warned her the first time that Alaska would make Colorado look flat and she would get tired of saying "that's the most beautiful thing I ever saw" every 10 minutes. Since you are a Cheechako (newcomer) here are what I consider the best of Alaska: Landing on the glacier on the side of Denali (K2 aviation out of Talkeetna), the drive to Seward and take the day trip to Kenai Fjords NP, the trip to Wrangler St. Alias NP, seeing the Aurora Borealis dance across the top of Denali, the trip from Homer to Kachemak Bay State Park. I better stop before I get weepy. All I can say is that you now live in a small frontier town surrounded by 600,000 square miles of wilderness, it's time for you to get out there! Ron

[@sheerbiscuit7]

So I just subscribed yesterday and I've been watching all your posted videos since you found out you were having a baby! Congrats! And I love your videos, love that you share all the beautiful nature around you, keep doing what you are doing and just be you!

[@effiemerseal2211]

Ever since my husband and I found out his first duty station is in Anchorage, I have become hooked on your videos! I am totally excited to see Alaska next month!

[@teresamartin6975]

Just found your vlog a couple weeks ago and I power watched every episode. I was only able to watch on weekends so it took 2 weekends and then about an hour today. LOVE these vlogs though - and I love Alaska. Keep up the great work Cory and I hope you're able to fix the Quad because those scenes are so beautiful. Loved the 360 shot you showed us in this one. Hope we get to see some vlogs with Kristen's parents - they are so fun to watch as they enjoy Alaska.

[@vzmkitty]

I love in the northeast. It snows every year. We have ice storms. I've spent plenty of time shoveling, chopping and sanding ice, freezing while waiting for the bus, loosing feeing in my toes. But I still find the snow and ice so beautiful and magical!! Of course you're still in awe of it. :)

[@susanapplegate9758]

I'm in for the meet-up! :) Anyplace in the state, and a hike sounds like fun! Really enjoyed seeing your enjoyment at the river, even if it is mushy right now!! Suggestions for future trips you two (+ 1) would enjoy: Canoe/kayak the Swanson River Trails (plan to portage between lakes for a couple days before you hit the river), or a hike to Portage Lake from campground just this side of Seward. (Have you gotten a copy of "55 Ways to the Wilderness in Southcentral Alaska" yet?) ...drive to Valdez....Kodiak fishing....flyfishing in the interior....glacier cruise out of Whittier...flightseeing over McKinley....I've been here 46 years now and still feel just as you do about the amazing places to see and experience here. :) Hope you go back to hike the same area when it's green!!!

[@TMMLover555]

I haven't been to this channel in a while (over a year!) and man, am I ever glad to see you're doing well. I hope things continue to go really well for you into the future (:

[@darlenefoster3379]

I just found you!!!! I would come to a meet up.....I live in Texas now but I lived in Anchorage way back when. Thanks for all the uploads. You are so refreshing.

[@pauldee1577]

I am considering going to visit Alaska in the next couple years...if there was a meetup, there would be even more reason for me to go!

[@VertikeLogan]

A group hike sounds like the best idea!!! We've always wanted to meet you Corey!

[@bitsofparadis]

That trail is the perfect backdrop for a fun photoshoot! Totally makes me want to fly out with Joe just for that :)

[@bradleyclark1566]

Thank you for sharing the sights with us. I do really want to get back to Alaska again.

[@heatherd.9390]

Good for you, Cory, to stop and find the little beauties in the world. Those ice beads on the pine needles were stunning.

[@melkeith9]

Your vlogs, especially ones like this, have this magical calming relaxing thing. I love how you show the beauty in simple things that we might just walk right by. I would love to hike there, do you have anything on you in case of bears or cougars or something? That's the only thing that bothers me when I hike.

[@TheLifeofKiara]

I would totally try to take the trip down there for that. My family and I want to visit anchorage this summer.(We are from fairbanks) So if you do a meet up then we will try to schedule our vacation down there around the time of your meet up. It would be so much fun especially since you know some awesome spots to hike at and we vlog as well, so I would love to have you and the hike in our vlog ! :)

[@deadlybeauty8]

Cory, the meet up sounds like a great idea! My cousin actually lives in Anchorage and I haven't visited him yet so that'd be an awesome time to do it. Also, I bet if you organized a meet up for some type of good cause, you'd raise a lot of money. Like funding to help out the homeless or needy in Alaska. Or to even build something to make your community better. Just sayn'. :) Love you guys.

[@TheAkANIMAL907]

I can definitely plan a trip to Alaska. I grew up in Anchorage, and now live in Ventura, Can, so I'd love to meet up for a hike!

[@luisescobar5660]

Excellent video Cory! these are the kind of videos that made me subscribe to your channel. Great work.

[@corliz1119]

+DudeLikeHella Hi Cory you gotta get a 360 cam ! These vlogs are great and love nature in it's best dress - Winter beauty. Thanks for taking us on a heel walk trek thru the woods😀

[@livingmydream4584]

you and kristen are living my dream to one day pack up everything I can and my animals and move to Eagle River.....I will enjoy your blog constantly until I make my move....youre showing me all the more reason to make my dream become a reality

[@RVSD1984]

i love watching these vlogs in Alaska specially in the winter but the one thing i can't stand in my ear phones is the snow crunching erhh, lol it gives me chills. if my husband ever gets stationed there would like to meet Kristen your baby and you at a meet up. : )

[@oo-ll4vi]

"Drunk on Nature" lol I do that too :) One of my fav vlogs Cory... What a majestic place to lay eyes on .... You should absolutely have Meetups, I'm in Orange County and use Meetup for hikes around here but I know people will show to your Meetups.... They would be a ton of fun!!! My favorite part of this whole Vlog was when you took a moment to soak it all in and gave us a 360 view... and your reaction was wonderfully appropriate lol .... "To the trees "🍻

[@CharleneBallou52]

I love how you see beauty everywhere Cory.

[@lynnmoore2664]

Great videos Cory ,but the 3500 miles between us counts me out of meet up ,but sounds so awesome and when you do it I hope you do a lot of video on it,because I think you will get a nice group of people to join you! Thanks for all your great vlogs I really enjoy your channel!

[@baileycoughlin5317]

Hello from a fellow Alaskan! I love your videos! And I would totally be down for a meet up! I live in Wasilla so not too far 😊 By the way, kayaking is totally fine from the ER Nature Center to the highway bridge (where you started) but there's actually a huge sign under that bridge that says DO NOT kayak past this point. It gets really deep and really rapid 😬 Also the river gets deeper in the spring when all the snow up in the mountains and on Eagle Glacier melts. We need more snow though! Hope you're having a great winter!

[@danmakely9294]

I really appreciate this adventure! I enjoy hiking, just haven't been brave enough during the winter.

[@ansalo]

I've lived in Palmer my entire life and have been wanting to meet you since I found this channel (I believe your first Alaska state fair video was the first one I watch) so I would totally be down for a meetup.

[@NicoleQM]

I would love to come for a meet up, would have to plan a trip from Ireland though so would need to know when sooooon :) And man that was all so beautiful!!

[@gemmadidit4118]

What I love about you is that you're so drunk on life! You do all the things I just think about...and then take me with you. Thank you for lifting my spirits, over and over again. BLESSINGS to you and your beautiful family. I've graduated from Mean Kitty to Dude... and I'm stoked to follow your adventures. You make me laugh and smile so much my face hurts! You are often my only relief from horrible loneliness. Thank you thank you thank you...

[@pattitorres31]

I feel the same about the country side in Texas. I'm originally from southern California and in not used to big wide open spaces. watching your videos make me wanna go to Alaska

[@Anothering]

9:07 Yup thats amazingly beautiful!

[@daki222000]

Great video again, Cory. Thanks.

[@MrsArcticAngel]

You should hike Crow Pass, I did it a few years ago. It is 26 miles from Girdwood to Eagle River Nature Center. Our group started at noon Thursday afternoon and got there by 4pm Saturday afternoon. there are designated camping spots, and you are in the middle of nature. Saw some bear for sure. My husband hasn't done it but said he wouldn't mind going with you. He is survival skilled trained.

[@rangerdelk]

I'd be up for it. I'm moving up there toward the end of May this year anyway.

[@Neana411]

I would 10000% come. I've been wanting to visit Alaska. I've met up with you once before! When you came to North Carolina. I brought my puppy with me. (The little black Weiner). But I would come in a heartbeat.

[@paulataylor9906]

I really envy you and Kristen because you live in possibly the most beautiful place on the planet. Alaska is now top of my travel list. Thank you for filming all the scenery, it's breathtaking ! Xxx

[@nicolesiegrist8969]

Hi Cory you warmed my heart with your nature Show. Please keep your open minded view at your beautiful place with us. Thanks for sharing P.s. Missed your special way to say goodbye hahaha

[@Tippi08]

I would love to join you on a hike! The hubby and I will be visiting the in-laws in Anchorage during the summer (we go every summer and winter), I would totally coordinate our trip around the meet-up lol!

[@BoondocTravels]

That little girl is going to SO cramp your style. But... it'll be worth it! Make sure you get a backpack for the BabyHella and just keep hiking!

[@KeithMarrocco]

My family is planning a cruise to Alaska this summer. The chances of it coinciding with your meetup are slim, though. We'll always have that time you told me about your favorite beer at VidCon, though.

[@joyjoyoo]

ooh~ You could set up a MeetUp event or FB event for weekly or monthly hike in AK. Sad I live all the way on the east coast. =/

[@joshneal2941]

been following you for a year now.... this is my 1st comment, you inspired my wife and I to visit Alaska and we did so last July. Thinking it would be our only visit we took full advantage of our time there. BUT.... we fell in love with Alaska and are now looking for a vacation home! We will be back in your neck of the woods July 16-23!!! I would be all for a meet up!

[@556Raven]

Count me in on the meet up! Ill be moving to Fairbanks this April (active US Army) Ill definitely come down for a group hike.

[@noahsark1962]

Good intro Mike.Never knew there was a New Buffalo,Michigan.:)

[@pacer2782]

Eagle River offers a small run of King Salmon, Silver Salmon, and Dolly Varden Char. The season for King Salmon fishing in Eagle river is usually only a few days long, spread over a few long weekends. The legal opening for King Salmon Fishing is typically four consecutive three-day-weekends (Saturday, Sunday, Monday) beginning on Memorial Day weekend.

[@angelaforaker1574]

beautiful walk Cory , thank you.

[@Marsh187]

I just thought at 10:30 that this would be a beautiful place to camp and then 5 seconds later, you said it :-D Thanks for all the beauty Cory!!

[@OrrWeiss]

hey there mr.safety! I never knew youmoved to Alaska! hope things are going good so far!

[@LeggLife]

We would ABSOLUTELY be at the meetup! I would love to meet other local KZbinrs. Alaska is such a small and supportive community that I imaging the local KZbin community being amazing if we ever got together, and who better to spark that into action than one of the OG KZbinrs! Let's do it!

[@morganmiser]

omg it would be so awesome to do a dudelikehella float trip where its a meet up camp out

[@teribabe58]

I am so jealous of where you live. I have lupus and live in SoCAL and the heat almost kills me every summer. I want to move to Alasks so bad but I would be completely alone cuz all my family lives here, so they don't want me to move away. You are so lucky! It's beautiful!

[@papolin0114]

Congrats to you and Kristin on winning the Marriot Superbowl contest! I voted almost every day! I hope you vlog it!

[@SkywereProductions]

Dat moment when the video has processed to HD in like 5 minutes

[@the49thdimension26]

Despite hiking every trail imaginable in the SSW Chugach range I have never hiked the ER nature trail since I've been here; that said- you wanna do a meet-and-greet? I'm there!!! Love your videos bud.

[@wwAurelia30]

I have another word for you, Cory. Spectacular. Because it is! Absolutely breathtaking.

[@lypscratch]

I am loving the new intros! Such a great idea!!

[@VLicious8704]

I've always wanted to see Alaska. Ever since I was a young girl, reading Julie of the Wolves for 15th time. I'm 30 now, and I have 6 kids. I'm so happy and Ohio is beautiful and it's my home. But I'd still like to see Alaska. That beauty...it's almost like...it's like it enjoys itself and it lets you in on it's happiness. Something like that.

[@pgtx7234]

Hey Cory, my name is Andrew. My parents and I have been watching your videos lately because, we are going to be moving to Alaska in March. I love all of your videos, and am really excited for the move. I'm also excited to maybe be able to meet you. Oh, and I wish you the best on your new member of the family. God bless.

[@xXanielkaXx]

Your daughter should be called Ella :) from dude like hELLA !!!

[@hotstangchic69]

+xXanielkaXx DudeThatsElla A new channel for her

[@SwirlingSoul]

+xXanielkaXx So far I'd loved the name Phoenix, but Ella is way better. Way way better. Nice one! I wonder what names Cory and Kristen are considering..... and if we're gonna be allowed to ponder with them.

[@Nicolinka19]

+xXanielkaXx my niece is Ella, it's really nice name :)

[@RunLikeSheeka]

I have a little cousin called Ella :)

[@eatmarth]

you might consider having a look at the river while it's engorged by the run off. that would be the optimal time to kayak or canoe

[@MentalLapse]

The river might be shallow now, but I bet when the snow melts in the spring, that place will be raging. You'll need to give us a spring update :)

[@MrsArcticAngel]

We and our gang would come to the hike! At the moment we have 2 school aged kiddos, two toddlers and an infant. Babywearing with the baby ergo and Osprey Hiking backpack we recently purchased for better hiking this summer!

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

check out the forest service cabin and yurt a mile or two in from the nature center..you can rent them for a night and stay out there if you want..

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

if you got to the ADFg websight and look up all the cabins all over they have you can reserve..

[@rosiecarter4529]

A meet up would be awesome! My husband, son and I will do it :) we also live close by so it's doable. Sadly I've lived in AK for 24 years and have never hiked Eagle River.

[@ShalimarPerfume]

Cool, somebody tapped the spring. I am pretty sure that pipe out of the ground is a place where you can fill up jugs of spring water. I have an old video on my channel with a spring like that.It is use at your own risk though. The place I know of occasionally gets tested by the locals.

[@kathybartholomew6303]

Beautiful! Please go back in spring and summer.

[@YasmimARosa]

Thank you for showing us this beautiful places Cory. I'll live in Alaska someday haha Greetings from Brazil.

[@ginny1800]

I have always wanted meet you, but I can't get Alaska to the meet up. But you ever happen to be San Francisco CA and do meet up I would be there for sure

[@TheJalapeno100]

I would totally show up to an Alaska meet up... though it'd have to be in the summer, I'm in Fairbanks all winter.

[@santanaharris4873]

We would totally come. We made it to Fairbanks on Thursday so we could just catch the Alaska Railroad to you.

[@Monkeyflop]

I haven't watched your videos in a while I'm glad I came back 👍🏻

[@cindyreddeer]

Noisy shoes is a good thing when walking through the woods. ;) I bet when the ice pack melts come spring/summer the Eagle River would be high enough to kayak. :)

[@timknoerle6896]

That meadow scene was truly gorgeous!

[@OldAccountDoNotSub]

Beautiful! As always. I love seeing all the beauty and I wish I could make it to Alaska for a meet up but I'm all the way down here in Texas. If I had the money for a flight to Alaska I so would. I hope you guys come to Texas at some point in the future and do another meet up. One day I will be a party of one :) One day. Keep the beautiful videos coming! I love them!

[@courtneychristensenxo]

Your town looks like it is straight out of a Bob Ross painting! Happy little trees everywhere!

[@rebeccajohnson8153]

A hike meet up would be awesome! I would totally come!

[@empearson91]

I am moving to Anchorage in April. I'd be totally down for a meet up since I'm not going to know hardly anyone in Alaska.

[@bryanlilly784]

I would come to the meet up!! So convenient because I live in Eagle River, Ak! Baldy or Eagle River nature center sounds like an awesome hike!

[@TheLandOfJonny]

I would totally come on a hike with you :) Just an Atlintic ocean in the way and an airplane ticket. I loveeeeee the nature! Cannot believe you've lived there so long now! omg the quietness way wonderful! A massive thank youuuuuu again Cory for taking us these places :D

[@mikebeaver324]

everything on that hike was so beautiful

[@irishis79]

Man, if I had the money, and I was in good health, I would totally come to the meet-up! It would be so awesome to meet you & Kristin, and your new little girl!

[@organicmonica]

Take us on hikes more often, dude! Loving it!

[@writingamongtrees]

Wow, just GORGEOUS. I wish I could be there for a meetup, but maybe sometime soon! It's a little bit of a drive from Colorado. :)

[@JordanPike]

That fog would make for some killer photos. Beautiful, man. Thanks for bringing us along! :D

[@betinaaagaard4529]

I have a huge dream of going to Alaska one day, so just got excited about maybe going in the summer. Would love to go to a hike meet up too - maybe different hikes/trips a few days if you want/have time. But because of work, wether I would be able to go or not, would depend on when during the summer you're of doing the meet up. I'm definitely going to keep an eye out if you're going ahead with any plans. Going all the way from Denmark, I'd hope you find out sooner rather than later :) I'd be ready for a "Camp Like Hella" too :D lol... a moose peeing...right :D wonder what that is for?

[@dorothystuartmcdole4462]

I'm from anchorage. I'm born and raised Alaskan. And I'm sad to say I've never hiked that either.. I love your videos btw! And I'd try my darnedest to join the meet up if you have one :) my son loves the outdoors :)

[@trombone901]

I would totally come visit for the meetup. I think it should be a hike/camp meetup.

[@MsOceanRiver]

Wonderful vlog. If that was Eagle River then yes, there are tons of salmon when they are running. They spawn up past the nature center. Alaskan Nature Fact: The tree with the ice on the "pine needles" was a fir tree. There are no naturally occurring pine trees in Alaska.

[@embee5056]

I'm moving to Alaska in July or August. If I'm there when you do your group hike, I'll come along.

[@Bevalderon]

Meet Up!! Husband and I have a massive pacific rim trip planned for 2017 (yeh planning way ahead) and it starts in Anchorage. We joked about meeting Cory, but were like nah, leave the guy in peace. If you're putting it out there though, joint hike omg how cool.

[@Bevalderon]

That's July 2017 btw, no pressure :-D

[@Bevalderon]

oh and we live in Europe, hence the super long planning time.

[@MCLegoboy]

When I got to meet you in Orlando back in 2012, it was awesome, and I loved the meet. If I could meet up again, I would, but you know, Orlando is not in Alaska, so I am sadface. Grab Shaun and tour the US one more time if you can, and of course, Kristen and the SMPbaby would be welcome. Peace, Love, and SMP. :)
