We Visited the MOST NORTHERN City in the USA! And It Was Brutal 🥶 This is BARROW, ALASKA!

[@luia103]

Just got back from Barrow yesterday and this is the most accurate experience of this small but special and unique place! Thank you for this video🙏🏾

[@marie-francegiroux7990]

For a Canadian, seeing people saying its very cold while wallking with an open coat always makes me smile ;)

[@simonaferraro2188]

Also for an italian 😂 I was thinking exactly the same while watching the video

[@ahmedzakikhan7639]

Canadian from Manitoba ?

[@amychen3508]

I was thinking the same thing. She’d got what looks to be 1 normal button up shirt and a jacket that’s unzipped. No hat, no scarves covering her mouth, just a pair of jeans. If I knew I was going to the most northern city., I’d be in something very different!

[@pisces1017]

I live in Virginia and immediately the thought crossed my mind!

[@newenglandgreenman]

New Englander here. When I saw her complaining about the cold with her coat open, I wanted to tell her to button up.

[@momsmysteries]

Barrow, Alaska is where the movie "30 Days of Night" was based so cool y'all went there.

[@kimberlymw5522]

Lived there for 16 years. So many memories. Learned so much; I am forever changed.

[@rachaellafriniere9349]

Appreciate the indigenous peoples acknowledgment, Very unique experience and appreciation. Thanks for sharing,

[@BobMcKinsey-o2u]

Eskimos I've been there and called them that , it's ok.

[@jj-if6it]

@@BobMcKinsey-o2u no... it's 2024

[@alanchwalek3070]

Very interesting.

[@bugwar5545]

"Indigenous" like they evolved there. Funny.

[@jj-if6it]

@bugwar5545 what?

[@einzgeisha]

Honestly, this is so beautiful ! the snow, the ocean, the coolness!

[@TimeToTravel-u2x]

😂ohhh yeah Beautiful

[@airenesmiler6624]

The "feather" like material looks to be baleen the structure used to filter the water and catch the small food, such as krill, that the whale feeds on.

[@AlexBeckleysRVs]

Good eye, It is baleen, once highly prized for ornamental as well.

[@akay9416]

Baleen used to also be used for “whalebone” corsets.

[@NewHaven203]

Dory: “Whales don’t eat fish they eat krill” Krill in terror: “SWIM AWAY!” Dory: “Ohhh look krill” 😂😂😂

[@spikestubbs210]

Who drinks Ice coffee in Utqiaġvik?

😂

[@heather91582]

I would 🙋‍♀️

[@Rubycita]

They drink coffee wherever they go 😂

I drink milkshakes in winter

[@andrew.mcmaster]

This is one of the coolest travel vlogs I have ever seen. The landscape is really surreal and you did a great job of capturing it. I never expected that I'd want to spend my limited vacation days in such a desolate location, but now I do!

[@chnalvr]

I'm watching this in sunny Hawaii in 80 degree weather and am so grateful to be here!

[@Banagal]

You went from pearls of sweat to Goosebumps and frostbite. The scenes are beautiful.

[@Franny-pl6ok]

You didn’t show any people, restaurants or grocery stores. I really wanted to see more of the human experience there.

[@jj-if6it]

I think Ben Morris or Drew Binsky has been there, watch their videos

[@Franny-pl6ok]

@ Thank you!😀

[@ryanharrigan3655]

they just posted a whole separate video for just the grocery store

[@mankokennewick1740]

Because its all about them

[@dankohlmeier6081]

Adam The Woo was just there a couple of weeks ago. The groceries are about 5 to 10 times the “normal” price. Everything has to be flown in.

[@amazingeric97]

During the summer a barge in the ocean visirs Barrow so that is how newer cars & large items get to Barrow.

[@rayray2076]

27 degrees is a heat wave. When I first moved to AK, I lived in my van camping out for 10 months. The first book I read was 50 yrs below zero. The Brower family, I met when I worked in a man camp at Point Simpson. They came by to eat. we have to feed any natives that want to eat because the oil is on their native lands. The Brower's drove 4 hrs from Barrow on snow machines just to eat. Nice people.

[@alaska1andy959]

Lived in Barrow for 5 years. It was an experience.

[@joe-l5s4f]

i turned down an offer to work there, i live in hot Arizona, however a friend went to work in Barrow, he stayed 15 years, a record for an outsider.. he stated that most people only survive the stay 3-5 years..

[@Anthony-u5y]

What made you move there? And what kept you there for 5 years??

[@alaska1andy959]

I worked for the State of Alaska in the juvenile probation office.

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

Eric....you are one lucky dude. I know what I'm talking about. I'm a pretty lucky dude too....now for 41 years. You guys are so good together, I have no doubt you will last. You guys are forever.

[@Margo-z4c]

Wonderful! I loved this trip. It was full of information about the town and the ocean was magnificent. Thank you so much for this!

[@stuartofblyth]

They never fail to deliver.

[@rikkr1307]

My brother worked in Barrow... RIP

[@TheTravelGuardian]

I'm shivering just watching this! How do you guys do it? You're like real-life polar bears, adapting to the coldest conditions. You're truly amazing!

[@TroyOttosen-jg7tt]

You serious? Tourists trying to say how it is here in Alaska and they were here a few days in the craphole of AK??? No clue about Alaska! Nothing new to us longtime residents who know better!😳🤪😂

[@ChocolateTurtleCookies]

@@TroyOttosen-jg7ttI wanna visit Alaska

[@MauriceU-un8mf]

Yes, that feather material is definitely several baleens.

[@graytabbie]

Great video! Thanks for a tour of such a unique town.

[@louisetvancouver6161]

You guys are just the coolest. “We came here so you don’t have to” 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@carolebrazell7673]

Just watching Adam the woo there and the sea is actually frozen. 😮

[@LynBailey7]

Thanks for sharing this part of your travels. Even though I live in Australia, Barrow was on my bucket list for many years. Finally, in May 2005, I finally got there. We only spent a day there, flew in in the morning and out in the evening, but got to see all the places you shared. this brought back so many wonderful, amazing memories for me. Thank you so much. 💖💖💖💖

[@stuckinmopro8533]

Wow both Endless Adventures and Adam the Woo are all in Burrow at the same time. Both produced great videos!

[@georgianapage7198]

I’ve never been despite living my whole life in Alaska. Thanks for sharing the coast line is brutal but breathtaking

[@Theendlessadventure]

We definitely understand that...there are so many amazing things to see in Alaska, it'd take a lifetime to do it all! Glad we could take you to a new part of the state, at least :)

[@peggyparsons5003]

Oh my goodness, this was so interesting. Thanks for taking me there.

[@douglasmcbryan3705]

I was hoping to see where you guys ate. Great adventure. You should go back in June. Nancy

[@Theendlessadventure]

Don't worry, our next video is still in Barrow and very food-focused :)

[@anitatroyer2066]

You should travel to Svalbard a city by the Arctic Circle....and meet up with Cecilia Blomdahl. It's beautiful what she brings to life

[@CannyBlether-dz6hj]

I love her channel ❤

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

That be awesome i lover her youtube channel too 😊 .

[@Northern_Squirrel]

Longyearbyen is even further north, 78.22 N

[@GouganeBarra-u4t]

Svalbard is way north of the Arctic Circle. Actually it's nearer the north Pole than it is to the Arctic circle at 78 degrees north.

[@CocoOPNY]

I love watching her videos too!

[@Michigan.maiden]

Love your adventures and this episode was super cool!! Your basically doing Sauna then ice bath lol. You guys are the coolest. Enjoy!

[@Theendlessadventure]

🤣 it's true! From 🔥 to 🧊

[@MeTo-jm5wt]

Thank you guys!! I’ve been really curios, about this place, for awhile. And it’s great to see videos there!

[@rhays615]

The wispy fins are baleen. They can only be harvested by indigenous peoples, and are highly sought after. I’m a city person, so crazy to just see it there lying on the beach.

[@rhays615]

Also, my husband pointed out the native people in Utqiagvik are the original indigenous people that tossed the land bridge in the ice age. From that came all other indigenous nations across North America.

[@richardmoore2590]

Never know where we will find you two kids. If there’s a place guaranteed you have been there done that. Love you guys❤️ Blessings🙏

[@patsymartin3634]

What an Adventure! Yeah. Now I dont have to! Thanks!

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

I've wanted to visit Alaska for so long, but that video just blew my mind. What an awesome part of the world.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Alaska is such an incredible state, we hope you get to visit soon!

[@BravoRecsKat]

I've always wanted to visit Alaska !! Thank you for the amazing info especially about the alcohol. I get worried when there isn't legal marijuana in areas because I have chronic pain

[@spearfish60]

Great video than, you for showing us Barrow 😊😊😊

[@jzakary1]

Sounds like the Texas heat has finally broken you guys. 😅❤

[@ronhubbardjr2624]

This is the best video about Barrow that I’ve ever seen. I really enjoyed it.

it isn't the Arctic Ocean, it is the Beaufort sea.

[@eurydike13]

Travelling to Barrow or Kotzebue? Otto von Kotzebue was born Tallinn, Estonia and also died here. We have a street named after him here in Tallinn :)

[@jj-if6it]

It is pretty amazing that Indigenous people could live there for so long without modern heating and stuff. Don't know how they did it

[@TangaucMaaken]

You two beat me to go there. I’ve lived in Alaska all my life. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@lauradodd7627]

I live in Beaumont Texas and last year 14 of us traveled to Alaska by plane and spent 11 glorious days traveling around (didn’t make it that far North)! It was in June and there was still light out at 11pm which made us able to do more everyday. We travel a lot and to date Alaska is our favorite place to visit.

[@Theendlessadventure]

What a cool and memorable trip! We've been to Alaska a handful of times now and love every single visit. Although we still haven't visited in the summer....maybe next year!

[@zhukov43]

I would love to winter there, it would feed my poetic soul.

[@spacecol]

I ran into the Bearing Sea while on the island of Shemya, AK years ago and yes the ocean water is very cold.

[@ladycake1515]

love you guys. always great content!

[@chloeandludvig]

[@natashaa43]

Yanno....coats have an ingenious invention on them called 'buttons' you use them to make those useful coats you have on them close....so you will be warmer. Just an idea.

[@lelanhaley3755]

Hey guys, what a cool video. How often are we reminded what a small world we live in. I’ve never been to Barrow, but I did live four years in Anchorage when I was a teenager. Fast-forward many years and many countries, and I am living in a log cabin in Wimberley Texas. Alaska and the little town of Wimberley in Texas are two of my favorite spots. I am now living on the border in Texas and travel back-and-forth to Mexico a lot. It would be great to meet up with you guys sometime. Wimberley is a great place to stay grounded and I hope you hang on to your property there.

[@AlaskaNavigator]

FYI: Whale fins = Whale teeth called Baleen

[@christianluff]

Uncanny, I was literally just talking about Barrow at the weekend. How it’s a fascinating place, then my fave travel KZbinr post this video. Personalised content! 🎉

[@Theendlessadventure]

We must have heard you 😝

[@CDE2022]

I’ve worked there since 2013! Love it up here ❤

[@LiamTheoCreative]

I still maintain that I would take freezing or heat any day. If dressed properly you can combat cold whereas heat, you’re just kind of SOL. The arctic is certainly on my bucket list. 10am sunrise sounds great! Except I’m sure living in that for a few weeks and then mentally 10 am feels like 6 am in normal sunrise. 😂😂

[@Moira-h3n]

We were going to do the drive from Eagle River, AK (near Anchorage) where we live, all the way to Prudoe Bay up near Utqiagvik over 5 days but we just had other adventures and didn't get around to it. You can do it in the Summer too. It's a brutal drive on gravel and dangerous as there are lots of big trucks and no services if you break down! Tks for sharing another great video.

[@SanMarcosMakes]

You mentioned football I hope you know your new town Wimberley is one the best small football teams in Texas. This Thursday starts the playoffs where they are predicting to finish 2nd to 4th place. This will be my sons last year as a Texan he is a senior. Though no more games left at Texan stadium this year next year you need to come out. The whole town come out small town football. Still can’t believe yall built in Wimberley been following you for years. Hope to see you around town on day.

[@erikcharlat9844]

this is truth. Go Wimberly. i grew up in Texas, and if ya don't football in your hometown on a Friday night are you even a Texan?

[@Theendlessadventure]

Oh cool! We had no idea. Hope they get that 2nd place spot. 😉 And tell your son we're rooting for him!

[@Wall2000x]

[@jeremymoyse]

I realise how much I miss watching you both travelling without an RV - the "it's an old RV and it's broken down" was almost a catchphrase. I think there was a short TV show about the football team but can;t remember where I saw it.

[@norm4907]

Whale blubber was in high demand before electricity as it was used to fuel lamps

[@dianehaines1220]

What an incredible video! Loved it so much! Can't believe you are from Wimberley! I love the Hill Country. I live in Aransas Pass, TX. Nice to meet you, fellow Texans. Thanks for showing us Barrow.

[@jamesinorlando3454]

Nice video. I visited Utqiagvik in December 2021, and I'm pretty sure I stayed in the same room you had at Top of the World. I recognized the view from your window. When I was there, the ocean was completely frozen and the sun remained below the horizon all day. Temperatures were in the single digits above zero F. It was awesome!

[@sarah-phillips]

It's like another world up there! Have you watched "True Detective"? The most recent season took place in a fictional town called Ennis, AK, but was inspired by Utqiagvik among other small towns. Hopefully you're back in the lower 48 and thawing out.

[@Theendlessadventure]

That's exactly what we thought of the entire trip! It was wild to spend time in such a similar environment. The show definitely captured just how brutal life up north is. Very glad there were no murders or disappearances on our trip, though 😅

[@jaybtwopointoh7499]

great video! while it was short, I think that's the true meaning of adventure
