We just watched this video and were awed by the beauty. The trails were great, so pristine, and peaceful. We could hear an eagle calling and other animal sounds. Thank you for going there and showing everyone the beauty of Alaska. Keep up the great work you do. It's the only way some of us will ever get to see these places.

[@TravelwithaWiseguy]

I probably had 45 minutes of walking through the trails. It was so lush. Thanks a lot!

[@Quitealways]

Beautiful drone shots. Area pathway with shapes of trees, water leaving patterns of its flow. It's definitely a experiences of exposure to Alaska's many parts. What a wonderful experience meeting Bobby. Memories to reacall forever. Great people you've met. Thanks for the experiences.

[@TravelwithaWiseguy]

Yes it was definitely one of my favorite trips I’ve ever taken!

[@rosiemcnaughton9933]

I loved this! It took someone in Kupreanof a lot of time to put all those trails in for people. Thanks to Bobby for helping to make this video possible. Petersburg is a great looking little town. Really enjoyed seeing these places. 😊👍 Thanks so much.

WOW, another great video, and yet another video that hits close to home. Having grown up in SW Missouri with an interest in history, I have visited some of the places you have produced videos on in SW MO, NW AR, NE OK and SE KS, and I learned so much more from your videos. Now you are again close to a place I lived at from 1977 => 1982, Alaska. A really fascinating place. Thank you for all the work and then sharing.

Good for them that they fought off the evil department of transportation! Question for you - in parts of the video, it sounds like it was raining. Was it, and what was the temperature while you were hiking? Thanks very much for taking us along! So enjoyable!

[@SusanHL]

This was so beautiful from start to finish...all the tall trees and ferns 💚 I've never looked into Alaska at all, and I'm so glad you've shown so much of it's natural terrain in this series. It doesn't look at all as I expected - I think I was just thinking about glaciers or something like that. But in this forest you can see what happens when nature takes its course and is left alone to do so - all the huge tree bases uprooted by who knows what (storms? disease?). I used to see that in Louisiana all the time after hurricanes, but they were cleared away within a few weeks or months. But not in this forest - it's just incredible to look at. A small maritime town with no roads sounds about as good as it can get (imo)....loved the sweet little seal (?) at 7:00...what treasures Daniel and Bobby were, being able to talk with someone who'd been the mayor there had to be seriously gratifying, priceless. Did you happen to see any seaplanes while you were there? Thank you for this video, and the entire series, I love that it's so authentic, rather than leaning towards "touristy".

[@TravelwithaWiseguy]

Thanks so much! Those trees were really interesting and looked like they had been laid over for a long time. Maybe the brutal winter weather does that? 🤷🏼‍♂️ yeah I never would’ve thought about Alaska being like this so thankful for this KZbin opportunity to take me there! Didn’t see any seaplanes this time.

Sure was a beautiful place but very wet. The walkways looked wet and narrow. So glad you made it safely as being a black bear sanctuary I thought you might come across a bear but thankfully you just came across some deer. What an adventure you had. Happy trails to you and God bless.

It’s one of the most fascinating places I’ve seen. Very different to America because of the very thick almost tropical looking forest growth. Looking at the temperature range it’s not too bad and winter I think compared to central Canada and North America??? Unless I got the place wrong in Google search….

Technically it is a rainforest so that makes sense (I didn’t know that originally). Correct the temps aren’t bad in July but like Bobby said the winters are brutal.

A visit to the Chamber Office in Petersburg would have provided much more information to prepare for your excursion over to Kupreanof. For instance, when visiting a rainforest - you need boots and a waterproof jacket, maybe a hat! Exposure can be an issue if you're not prepared! Also - did Bob mention the fox farms? And Tlinget.... is pronounced Clink-it the Tl sound is a hard K or hard C sound. Nice overview, but so much more is available to learn....

[@TravelwithaWiseguy]

Yes I did visit the Chamber in Petersburg as well as the museum. And I emailed the Kupreanof city clerk, called the office numerous times. I asked about a dozen different people to meet with me and ran into dead ends every time. I only ran into Bob by luck. There’s more to the story but I don’t want to be negative - everyone was very nice, but the situation was difficult to find me help. Believe me I did ask A LOT.
