THIS LAKE IS UNREAL!!! - [Living in Alaska Day 31]

[@thebaconflapsable]

I just love how positive you are, it's really nice to see. Makes me smile. That ending shit me up haha.

[@JoshJepson]

Damn, dude. I should visit Alaska. My girlfriend has a friend there, so maybe I'll get to make a visit someday! It's just so gorgeous.

[@traineryenzo749]

Holy Magikarp it's JoshJepson! : D Always fun to find other youtubers i like, commenting on another, haha! Josh, kick butt on Mario Sunshine rematch! I'm rooting for ya!

[@OmnimonJP206]

JoshJepson: The critical link connecting the video game side of my KZbin Subscriptions to the vlogging side. Everything is connected now (Also I'm with the guy above me, kick ass in Mario Sunshine 2!)

[@AcidGamesYT]

Hey JoshJepson Got any tips for a new YTgamer like me any help would be appreciated.

[@TwitardGirl]

Holy crap I jumped at the ending LOL That was epic, Cory! I loved the lake it was so beautiful! -Emma

[@xv9160]

I can't with Kristen and that chunk of ice! XD That was adorable, lol. Nice ending. I snort-choked on my drink. XD

[@CreekValleyCritters]

Went to the lake near my place in Whitehorse today, to collect leaves and driftwood for the mice. So beautiful and the weather is so wonderful in the moment, felt so grateful to live where I do. We have had snow in the mountains for three weeks now. Our first winter we were told to go for a walk every day no matter how cold to combat cabin fever and to acclimatize to the cold. Worked :) 'Happy Lights' are full spectrum lights mimicking sunlight. Some people get depressed if they do not get enough sunlight and these lights are supposed to help with this. I got a touch of S.A.D. last winter for a week or two during the darkest period. But once the darkest day is over, it seems to get light very, very quickly again. The moon is the best part of winter plus no bears, can walk at night without worry. Take vitamin D in winter, compensates for lack of sunlight, although now that you have been hit by a bus, you do not really have to worry about that anymore :)

[@Lem0n1215]

Let me put this in perspective, Cory. In Wyoming, there's times when it drops to -15°. Now look at a map of the U.S. and Canada. Alaska is WAY closer to the pole. I'm not saying that it'll be the worst thing ever, but it's gonna get DAMN cold, not just '0°.' Hope you're ready! :)

[@ILuvOden]

Being an Alaskan I can say that as long as you are near the coast the worst you'll get is -20(this is, of course, excluding the northern coastline) for a few days. Now if he had moved to Fairbanks(a city located in the interior) he would be in for some trouble as it can drop to -45 and stay there for a few weeks. :P

[@Soli11]

Unfortunately it doesn't always work like that. Sometimes Greenland, for example, have warmer and mild winters than some of the U.S. or Denmark where I live. You don't get much closer to the pole than Greenland. It really depends on so many factors - but Alaska is definitely going to be cold, very cold!

[@likeabaker]

It get's colder in Minnesota and North Dakota!

[@rahemaansari9669]

I live i Alberta in Canada and summer average is 25 Celsius (77 Fahrenheit). Winter average is -30 Celsius.(-22 Fahrenheit) . snow comes in late october and ends in early may. I can't imagine what it is like in alaska

[@SamurottofMinnesota]

Baker Design & Film I'm sorry, I thought I heard "Minnesota".

[@untiedshoes90]

The light is to prevent seasonal depression from the lack of sunlight or for those who are sensitive to winter. It is basically a uv 'sun'light to help keep your mood and energy up!

[@TinkerbellKat]

How did you go to a restaurant called Humpy's and NOT show us footage of you humping something!!?!!?!! This is not the Cory I know.

[@Alivviegirl]

As soon as I saw Kristen had the camera and that Cory was about to cross the street, I knew it was coming, but I still flinched. Well done.

[@tinit5190]

It's funny how we northerner's take our nature for granted. A crystal clear lake is quite common here in Southern Alberta. There are quite a few cliff jumping locations where you can see the bottom of the lake even though its extremely deep. Welcome to nature Cory. Now get your ass out fishing before the season is over.

[@tinit5190]

And I bet his yard is going to look like the Calvin and Hobbes comics!

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

fishing season is never over..we ice fish..the trout taste better in winter anyway..

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

You are already taking us somewhere beautiful everyday. . Alaska in general! :) And I be you can find people there who like the snow. It's the same way in Michigan. People here claim to hate the snow. . I always tell them they live in the wrong state. Embrace the Snow!!!

[@MikeyJ91]

holy shit man that ending scared the F outta me!!!! HAHAHAH

[@SweedaFish]

I think it's awesome to see the pure joy on your face as you're talking about seeing snow for the first time. As someone from Minnesota, I've seen it every year of my life. I can't imagine how exciting it must be for you to see it. I guess it's about the same as I'd feel to see the ocean for the first time, which I've never done.

[@gyloir]

Holy crap that ending caught me off guard.

[@NerdishByNature]

Hey Hippy :D Alaska is gorgeous. I don't want snow anytime soon. The last winter here in Ohio was so long and snowy brrrr... I dare you to build something new every snow day! I love how the people gathered around the tooth... I am so jealous of the salmon/fresh fish up there! ~Sara

[@cavyart]

Oh cool You guys watch Cory too. I've been watching you guys for at least a year now. I found you because I was looking for VLogs that were as close to me as possible. I'm up here in Canton Ohio. Yes this past winter SUCKED in Ohio with the negative temps. Fingers crossed it is not that bad this winter again. Much love.

[@NerdishByNature]

hey Robin... yeah, last winter was just brrrr... *fingerscrossed ... we passed by Canton a couple of times, but never really went there. We were in Cleveland for a concert last week... Sara

[@MarkSKristensen]

That ending xDD

[@CJ-xe4je]

It made me jump a little!! XD

[@tacha3490]

What does xD mean

[@TayJayProductions]

Tacha"xD" was used back in the Samoan tribal days. It was a sign used to promote the wish of death or sometimes it was also used to promote mating during seasons of harsh cold.

[@kyleighkowalski4035]

Tacha We use it as a face such as :) but it means laughing instead of smiling.

[@Flashover369]

that jumpscare ending though

[@tatitito397]

OMG CORY!! IT'S SCARY ME A LOT! !! MY HEART IS BEATING LIKE CRAZY. ... VERY REAL HAHAHA

[@tanyaj3988]

I just love how bloody excited you are about EVERYTHING! It's so much fun. And I love the scenery. Can't wait to see what your winter will be like.

[@NoahF98]

That fire bit was the best thing I've ever seen.

[@SerialDisappointerHalifax]

MORE METAL DETECTING! :D

[@jenogren1952]

The ending made my heart stop, you scared me pretty bad.

[@frankygagne]

Hi Cory, I have known the existence of your vlog only a few days ago when I saw the video where you learn that Kristen is pregnant. I was looking for a fun way to announce to my family that my wife was pregnant. That 's when I found your vlog so I start watching your videos from the start. I have trouble stop watching your vlog because I find you very inspiring. You give me the desire to go with my family and to run across Canada to visit Alaska but with the baby on the way and the fact that we live in Quebec slows my travel plan. I hope you still make videos for a long time.

[@katiewade4530]

Franky Gagne this was same for me to 😊 I am now catching up with all I've missed its 2.47 am here in the UK and I just keep telling myself just one more but I think I am hooked. happy viewing x

[@AndThenThereWasAmy]

That ending literally made my heart drop for a split second. omg!

[@GrnArrow092]

Cory, NOW is the time to be getting ready for winter. Alaskan winters come earlier and are much colder than what we have down here in the lower 48. Be sure you have a good set of snow tires for the car, warm coats and gloves, and plenty of hot stuff to keep you warm during the winter. Hope you all are doing well.

[@teresasimpson5143]

I think a "happy light" is just another name for a full spectrum light. I use one during the winter to fight winter depression. Plus its great for my parrots too.

[@Myrkrin]

Cory, I cannot wait for you to experience snow either! I live in New England so I get a lot of snow every year and it is my favorite thing on the planet! My favorite thing to do is to just walk around while there is some nice light, gentle snow fall with a blanket of snow on the ground. It creates this surreal atmosphere where everything seems to just stand still. The earth feels like its sleeping and everything is quiet. The snow creates a soundproof blanket on the ground that masks even your own footsteps and the gentle snow falling from the sky creates puts you in such a calm and relaxed trance. It's quite an experience and I know that you'll enjoy it as much as I do :D During storms is also an awesome experience for different reasons! It's much more exciting and I love you try to run around and try to make it as far as I can before I get pushed over by the wind and fall into the piles of snow on the ground XD it's a lot of fun!

[@andysim232]

Can't wait to see Sparta and Loki's reaction to the snow. Cats are always so confused by it. Even cats that have seen it before lol.

[@bawa077]

its 12 PM and my whole family just woke up because i screamed so loud "oh no corrryyyyy". man thats not fair, i had a heart attack, literally skipped a beat.

[@katidid24]

The lake was so pristine and beautiful. That ending scared the crap out of me!

[@anneeltervag4467]

I used to live out in the countryside in Norway, but moved a month ago to the middle of San Francisco. Seeing this footage of the lake seems like a dream and makes me really miss home :) Having a great time experiencing the city life, but day by day I realize that living close to nature is my place to be! Thankfully I'm going back home in a little over a month. thank you so much for sharing this gorgeous view. Makes me wanna visit Alaska ASAP! :D

[@ciannamessinger]

The first time I saw the ending I almost launched my phone! That scared me😄

[@oldnewheb]

i am watching it at 12 pm... almost jumped off the sofe... mind you, i was lying on it Cleopatra style!!! :-p

[@Idoljunky32]

OMFG Cory!! The ending scared the crap out of me!! I actually had tears in my eyes!!! My BP jumped!!!

[@sadlekisses]

Your ending made me jump! I love it! So glad that you are finally happy!

[@darkjedi7083]

Dude that bus scared the crap out of me.... lol! Keep blogging brother, I love your work!

[@TheLondonLove91]

God, that ending freaked me out!!!!!! But wow this lake's amaaaazing!!!

[@LindaKordich]

Up here in Bellingham Washington (right below the Canadian Border) we get REALLY DARK weather for many months. Vitamin D is lost during the wintertime...so we ended up getting a very large Happy Light. It's important to get a large one so you can get the Vitamin D you will desperately need. Melatonin is different than the Vitamin D,which is what the Happy Light will bring you. also, please consider getting liquid Vitamin D to take as well...!

[@joserivera7379]

😱 that ending make my asthma come out lol but u the man broo im witching every single blog and im looking forward to see them all

[@choirfreak26]

Cory, those "happy lights" are also used for people with Seasonal Affective Disorder Also Humpy's was on Man vs. Food!

[@BreezyCanadian]

I just watched a 3 minute ad because it was actually interesting/entertaining. the end scared the poop out of me omg xD

[@mackie_p]

Really excited for all of the vlogs to come!!!!

[@sharkfinz6]

i was born in alaska..fairbanks on an air force base......i only remember how much my parents loved it..so these videos mean so much to me-and it is so beautiful.

[@SpiritedFang]

Hey Cory, I love your videos. I'm one of the quite ones, but I'm trying to change that. Thanks for sharing your life with us, I love experiencing things with you. RISE OF POSITIVISM!

[@rainejefferies889]

That lake and its surroundings are gorgeous!

[@ALIENstoleMyBeer]

Cory I have that light! I work 3rd shift and diagnosed with Seasonal Affective Disorder so the light helps. My light let's off ions that you get from waterfalls so it makes you feel good. The brand is Naturebright.

[@ALIENstoleMyBeer]

Oh and its the Sun touch Plus. Works great. Its about 100 bucks.

[@LeanneZackowski]

I have a "Happy Light" that I use to help with my depression during the long winter months :)

[@savvysinister7571]

hey cory, I was raised in Alaska for nine years, if your into Chinese food you need to visit this resturaunt called Pagodas its in North Pole, so its a bit out of the way from Anchorage, but its totally worth it. Also every winter there's this park made entirely out of ice complete with mazes, giant slides and ice statues, if you don't go you will never know the true beauty of ice. Pagodas :431 N Santa Claus Ln, North Pole, AK 99705 and the ice park happens in Fairbanks, also out of the way, but worth it!

[@Donvantic]

Tourist? ... Nope. haha, I love it!

[@TheSk8tersfan]

Love the sunset !!!! Great ending to a vlog LOL

[@claire_A-T]

THE ENDING OF THIS VIDEO MADE ME JUMP! '' OMG'' I COULD OF HAD A HEART ATTACK... IM TO OLD FOR THE ''HIT BY A BUS'' THING man you sure get me!!

[@kasqat]

Have all VA's snow. It's pretty to look at but having grown up in the tropics, I prefer my temperatures to be in the cool and comfy 50 degrees. As for the light, helps with seasonal depression. A friend went through it pretty rough for a few years after moving from sunny Guam to PA. Like really bad. Stay happy and stay safe!!

[@lindsaycarty948]

Cory, I just wanted to say how much I love your videos. Please tell the kitties and Penny "hi" from Cleo and Riley.

[@duckyone20]

Ok you're so excited about the snow it's ridiculously cute!! I come from Nova Scotia Canada so we will have snow probably soon too. There already had been a lot in Alberta and British Columbia . The reason you need the "happy light" is because there isn't as much sun it'll be depressing so the light helps give you vitamin D

[@2kzoltan]

lol that ending is going to literally kill somebody!!!

[@Randomstuffs261]

"winter is coming" was that intentional?

[@Randomstuffs261]

Also... DAT ENDING

[@mykalbee]

Dude I love your enthusiasm toward the new things you are seeing & experiencing. They told you about the bears right? Be careful out there. Don't let yourself get too caught up in Alaska's beauty that you lose focus on your surroundings. I once had a Bull Bison sneak up on me in Yellowstone and by the time I noticed him, he was inside 30yds...way too close even for Yellowstone bison. About that ending...yep made me jump!

[@bcgrote]

When I lived in Denver, we had a week or so that was -20. It was COLD, even my shepherd-husky mix wanted a coat when we went on walks! But then when it got "warmer", like 20 degrees, everyone was in short sleeves because we felt so warm! I think spring will be the most dangerous time, with the thaw. Don't want to be on the lake then!

[@Chimaera_]

alaska is amazing cory! thanks for sharing it every other day :) that ending scary! is the unexpecting ending going to be a regular thing now lol

[@Darnitalltoheck]

bahahaha the Fire escape part had my gut wrenching, so hilarious!!! Love it! :) This blog made my day ten times better! Love you both!

[@creecreemarie]

Cory! I am so jealous! Alaska weather looks amazing. I want rain. California wants rain!

[@cyde79]

I think you can handle the cold, but the darkness will be tough.

[@soboligostrut]

that ending lol, that's why i love this vlogs

[@Dudeonwheels]

Dude! Ice fishing on that lake would be incredible!

[@norrbysa]

I live in Sweden and here we have the same climate and very similar nature. People here get tired, sick and depressed during the dark seasons because of lack of vitamin D that usually are created in the skin when being out in the sun. The lamps are great but It is a more effective idea to start taking a strong vitamin D supplement. The lamps can be a bit pricy. You need to be sure to get a full spectrum light that is as close to sunlight as possible. I wish you a wonderful winter!!! :-)

[@safelysomewhere]

Forget snowmen, build a snow CAVE. Get a roof rake and pull the snow off your roof once it builds up into once spot (as much as possible), pack it down really good, dig a tunnel out.

[@TreshToons]

looks awesome..i'm wanting more and more to go there, but i was told it has a high earthquake risk

[@exAngel91]

You guys should check out Reflections Lake - it's in between Eagle river and the valley. There's an exit off the highway just after you go over the bridge. It's a really pretty lake as well! It also has a nice trail around it.

[@madalex26]

WOW! What a view! Love that Lake!

[@secondstar4170]

Cory!?? CORRY!!! Those endings just just just . . . . certainly unsettling to say the least. Okay, I'll concentrate on that beautiful water at the beginning. And picture you in tie dye. And smile happily as you take Kristin's hand. Yes, I'll keep that sweet image in mind.

[@catjautoftrhoads7895]

You almost gave me a heart attack! wow!

[@Nagarath16]

This year whole weather is messed up in here. Our spring was autumn - our autumn was short spring - and we already got our first snow. I wonder if anywhere else - this north or not - has weather being weird? Seem that Alaska is okay and quite into normal track.

[@Duckkis]

Goddamn! That ending scared me :S

[@mickemike2148]

Supercool Glacial-Kristen is such a good sport! You have indeed found a true gem dude.

[@danielletdg8423]

I jumped! I'm glad I didn't see this until after you'd posted other vlogs. Very nicely done by the way. : )

[@littlestjevito]

Wow Cory, beautiful scenery!

[@Opiboble]

From Anchorage here, cant wait for the snow either. Most people who dont want the snow are military or part-timers (those who are only in Alaska for a short while)

[@PyscoFalcon]

The Happy Light sounds like an S.A.D lamp. Daylight bulbs in main living area helps too :)

[@IlluminateReality]

I love the way you vlog corey! keep it going! you are the only vlogger i watch on youtube cause of the great places you visit :)

[@natureguy0196]

Cory Darn You!!! lol I almost fell backward off my chair I was leaning back on at the end of the vid, Pretty funny and wait till it gets like minus 45 below zero, and a huge blizzard going I would start stacking up on a ton of fire wood and lots of winter gear. can't wait to see you all moved in , settled and just relaxing and enjoying things. :)

[@Kandizcsr83]

Snow falling is amazing, it's almost silent.

[@worganyos]

almost? I've never heard snow make a sound...

[@josword7602]

Nick Van Riper it screams AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA thud lol

[@worganyos]

Jo Sword Oh gosh.

[@klaxoncow]

Nick Van Riper Actually, more than that. Not only does snow not make a sound, but it has a muffling effect - it kills off echoes - so it brings with it this kind of hollow, but intimate, silence. It's hard to explain to someone who's never seen snow fall, as we don't ordinarily notice how much the world around us echoes and reverbs off the ground and road surfaces and stuff... ...until the snow falls and steals that away, and then you get that strange feeling, as the world now sound different to the ear, as well as looks different to the eye, with white covering everything. I think, for Cory, that'll be the thing that he won't be expecting. Because you can see what snow fall looks like on TV, but it can't prepare you for how it sounds different and how that can completely change your mood (but, in a good way, as it kind of puts you at peace and feeling all zen-like).

[@Tomasz_Piekarski]

Are you sure we're talking about same planet? ;-) I have never heard any snow sound at all. Have you?

[@gomeri]

"Tourist? -Nope." LMAO :D

[@ramelep]

OMG!!!! The end scared the crap out of me!!!! Wow Haha.. I seriously jumped

[@amylawrence9777]

That ending scared the hell out of me i nearly cried!!

[@Pewsia]

You are gonna looooove winter!! I sure do:D

[@MissLilyputt]

You've got hotel fever. LoL. Yeah the happy light is probably a light that imitates daylight. It helps your body know when it's day or night. The light also helps your melatonin levels and ultimately make you happy because you'll be sleeping and waking better. It helps when you get the winter blues.

[@GameGuyy]

Lol. Loving these abrupt endings!

[@Prismelia]

You scared the hell out of me with that ending! I jumped in my seat!

[@CoDisafishy]

Haha, I love the editing you've been throwing into the vlogs lately. I just got to the end XD

[@KellyS25]

Okay I know I am a little late and you warned us about the ending a couple of days ago, but I forgot and freaking gasped so loud!! 0_0 Dude!... Also, I am excited that you are excited about winter. Our Chi-berian winters are tiresome come mid-January, but maybe I will enjoy them more now that my favorite KZbinr is experiencing something similar and making the best of it. You are really gonna love how bright the sky is when it snows overnight. Everything is so quiet and cozy and it is all just so... "beautiful." :)

[@E.T.whisperer]

Are you going to visit Lake Minchumina?

[@AkFishSlayer907]

Ha I know what lake that is. Is Beach Lake off the South Birchwood exit. Not sure if that is still Eagle River or Chugach.

[@adamkoch212]

I feel the same way about snow here in denmark! It's gonna be my first winter with my drivers license, and I can't wait to drive out in the snow :D

[@WhiteRiverRails]

HAHAHHA funny ending Corey, i have just started watching your vlogs and i love them!!! You make them very entertaining to watch and i get really exited to watch the next one, hope you keep making vlogs!!!!!

[@cindyreddeer]

Your first winter is going to blow you away, it's nothing like when you and Charles Trippy were on that road trip. :) Oh, you should invite Charles for a visit, that Florida boy would love it. :D

[@112887db]

Cory, you are awesome!! i love the snowman ideas!!! keep up the awesomeness

[@drewmaki95]

An igloo might be tough, try building a Quinzhee!

[@CoDisafishy]

I've used one of those "happy lights" before, they actually work. I think by increasing your serotonin levels.

[@barbowskirules]

That ending scared me so bad! Lol

[@Bluelargo50]

CORY & KRISTIN...... fairly new subscriber, around the time of your move to Alaska. BUT LET ME TELL THE BOTH OF YOU........have a great life together and ENJOY this new journey you're on. Here I am new to your channel and I'm thrilled for you both. I'm one that struck out BIG time in the love dept so seeing you two starting from the very beginning in such a new and exciting place is what makes me TRULY HAPPY for you two. I know u have plenty to buy for the house but try squeezing in a snow mobile. Omg the great fun you'd have!!!! IGNORE any haters and enjoy your journey!!!! Xo from florida

[@gimkilo57]

Wow. You make northen places sound so exciting. XD You'll get tired of snow when you can't get your car out of the driveway.
