Van Camping In Alaska | Lemongrass Chicken by the River

[@matty.f]

You are correct on the paw markings. Nice research and observation on your end. The paws are wider than that of a dog's and are webbed, which act like snow shoes.

[@bluesk8crew]

Several large dog breeds have webbed feet as well but seeing where he is most likely wolf's

[@matty.f]

@@bluesk8crew you're right, but the webbing on a wolf/wolfdog's paws are much more distinguishable. There was recently a litter of wolf hybrids (pure wolf with a domestic dog) rescued from Alaska. Sadly the pure wolf sire was shot and killed shortly after. But there's no doubt those prints were from a pack, and a pretty decent sized one too. Glad to see they are flourishing across the state.

[@bluesk8crew]

@matty.f oh forsure I have a wolfdog mix as well as a husky! The size difference in the paws between the 2 is crazy

[@joellepatry493]

Ryan, pretty sure that vacant tent is the kind of thing you should report to some authority. I agree, the backpack & tent are eerie.

[@chenalindelossantos967]

up up up, it’s worrying

[@sharonmcentee8615]

I agree. That’s not normal. Hope Ryan reported it.

[@sallydavis1345]

Agree. I would have wanted to look in the back pack.

[@travisstephenson9294]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@travisstephenson9294]

I went the comments to just to see if anyone thought the same thing.

[@Bamzillia007]

these videos have legit been my only stress relief for like several months now....thank you for that buddy!!!!!

[@justsomeguywith3boys133]

Dude bring a pole and try fishing in those small ponds/rivers just a few casts it’ll give you something to do and add to the channel!!

[@InkyTheSoul]

Nothing hits different then coming home from school and watching Ryan's videos ❤

[@gregorygiddings4676]

I think everyone was waiting for you to check out the backpack and tent.

[@bluesk8crew]

After seeing that tent and that random truck in the bushes i would have been out of there lmao😂😂

[@ninat6690]

Where do you see the truck?

[@ScOobYSniPeZ]

“I do not have any meat beating tools in the van.” Use me as the doubt button.

[@SherwoodTaz]

Glad I'm not the only one that couldn't past this statement.

[@Bastos9458]

What else is he supposed to be doing in the van alone with a computer and star link?

[@zynh8930]

Yalls 😭

[@SamMajor]

Underrated comment 😂

[@RootlessWanderer]

11:33 - “I do not actually have any meat beating tools” 😂😂😂 Ummm….

[@VividGames-1]

The bag and tent is too sketchy for me to just go on about the night lol, that doesn't look too good. Would definitely call rangers or some type of authorities to let them know!

[@olejensen840]

Stacked rocks. Abandoned tent and backpack. Im out of there 😅😅😅

[@JennaTelia824]

I was so distracted over that tent and backpack. Very creepy. lol

[@BaNsHe02]

Great video but that abandoned tent is very sus. You should call the authorities and at least give them a heads up about what you found.

[@doppss]

Yoooo how did u not see that car in the bushes next to the tent. Creepy

[@billthomas6296]

So glad you went home for a break. It is possible the white floaty things in the air are from a type of Cottonwood tree. Those things alway wreaked havic on my sinuses when I lived in Michigan. Take care buddy.

[@chipuse4355]

Cordless handheld vacuums are a great way to suck up and exterminate van mosquitoes!

[@upinalaska49]

All those white things floating around are cotton from the cottonwood trees. You’ll find more and bigger cotton wood trees close to a water source.

[@JimmyVYouTube]

I have been enjoying the journey Ryan! Let's all send as much ALOHA to Maui as we can.

[@lukecrispin3053]

Though about putting a ring camera up outside the van or any other motion detect camera to catch wild life at night? Would’ve been cool to see the wolves just walking by at night

[@markj10]

Can’t believe your travel Alaska adventure is about to end! It’s like watching my favorite Netflix series and it done 😮

[@marktayag_official]

Same feels!

[@-Demna]

You should get a mesh net where your side door opens to prevent mosquitos and bugs coming in when it’s open

[@thickernell]

Pretty sure the floating stuff is “cotton” from Cotton Wood trees. Their seeds are attached to a sticky cotton-like thing. We have them everywhere in the Midwest.

[@BP-kc3dj]

What normal person pulls up to a potential murder scene with a creepy a** truck sitting just seconds away and is like oh, "this looks like a GREAT place to frolic around deep parts of a river then, camp out for the night". Dude, there is something really wrong with your reasoning. I just watched a video where you literally walked up to some wolves tracks near a standing pond with an ARMY of mosquitos, then say, that's cool. Be careful man.

[@Anagnostis79]

That tent and backpack were really worrying. You should have checked the backpack for some id, or straight up called the police to report it. Maybe some hiker is lost in the river close by. Also, what was up with that other van parked in the bushes? The fact you did not seem to notice, made it even spookier.

[@papiknight1024]

If it was my bag n I saw you going through it… self defense buddy. Let’s not put Ryan in those situations. Y’all are too damn nosey. Take after Ryan and mind your damn business.

[@kherlenturtogtokh]

Exactly! That tent is not normal, not at all. People wouldn't leave it like that.

[@ritawoodfork3086]

I think that tent situation and the other vehicle in the bushes was creepy and it worried me while I was watching. Glad, however that you were able to get out of there without any issues. I'm always happy to see your videos - There is a charisma about you and the way you take your viewers along with you plus you prepare some imaginative and tasty looking meals. I'm looking forward to being able to get your breakfast seasonings! Take care out there!

[@ketorising81]

When I saw the other vehicle, backpack and tent, I would’ve made like a banana and split. 🍌

[@dustymcguire7843]

Ryan, did you ever get to see the Northern lights??

[@Alen-DK]

Dude has the sickest van I've ever seen

[@TiagoToreiro]

The Rocks,, Tent and Backpack had serious Blairwitch vibes!! 😅

[@tobiassullivan4406]

Insane. You make better meals than me in a van, and I have an entire kitchen.

[@DrBamWam]

In the meantime , I’m gonna get meth and smoke it with my sister and have sex all night

[@GLCToni]

Likewise.

[@babadukk]

The way you efficiently julien carrots is by keeping the carrot together as you cut the slices, and fanning them out in a tight array. Then you cut down the line, bear clawing to keep the carrot pieces stable (and your fingers safe). Much easier said than done but it gets better with practice.

[@onlyzach1]

Still bummed that you're shipping your van back to the States. I think you should drive across Canada now since you're up in that area. Drive across that to Toronto then head down back to back home in Virginia. Oh well, still great video as always!

[@bettylowe448]

The white stuff flying around is cottonwood trees. I lived in Alaska.

[@xIDarkSideIx]

That random tent and backpack seems a bit sketchy hopefully whoever's it was is ok, should report it if you haven't already

[@devolutionone]

That tent and backpack are creepy, I wonder if there's a dead body floating around or in the bushes somewhere.. 😳

[@Draggin_Tails]

As far as the shaking in your wheels, the same thing can happen with snow. Just a future tip 😉

[@elcafecatgaming]

after you're done with alaska you should get one of those bug net for your sliding door

[@duyleYT]

Always a good day with a Ryan upload

[@driveswithryleeandme]

The mtn is illusive due to coastal weather patterns. Very few visitors see what they seek. Take the green bus tour under 50 bucks and is narrated into the park to mile 43 rest is closed due to massive avalanche.

[@kathleenhannigan2487]

Not a regular watcher....seen a few of your posts....when this crossed my screen, I started it then fast forward to the cooking part Loved it. Always love learning a new way to cook something.

[@dcrabbit]

Lemongrass chicken! I LOVE that stuff! The recipe I have adds sweet soy sauce and diced shallots to the marinade.. and I use a grill pan for the nice char marks. And if you can find some vietnamese spring roll dipping sauce.. drizzle some of that over it.. it's awesome!

[@JohnDoeDeMondo]

I look forward to grabbing some food, and sitting down and watching Ryan

[@jensclarberg6419]

As someone who lived in the UK for 13 years, it's pronounced "Woosta-sheer-sauce"

[@ricebike]

Ahhh, called it in the last video about the wobble of the dried up mud on the rims! Thanks for the update/confirmation

[@Pgd10020]

Starlink has changed the daily vlog van life game!!

[@luurch]

I found in Michigan that most of the Mosquitos go away when its about 65-68 degrees might be a bit more healthy up there, but when its 45 outside you don't have to worry about many bugs. Yellow jackets and the like wont even bother until its above 70.

[@susanellanoble1184]

That flffy, white stuff floating through the air are cottonwood tree seeds. Sort of remind you of giant dandelion puffs.

[@lukas1255]

Quick tip, for the starlink cord, it is simply a standard ethernet cable. So you can cut it to a length you need, and simply terminate as you would a standard CAT5/6 B wire.

[@Game-Breaker97]

Had a blast playing mw2 with you Ryan!

[@jodyyoung2726]

The tent was strange. But with the backpack I would have had to report it just in case!

[@edwinpas5617]

You should put a go pro outside for a time lapse in the night to see the wolfs

[@DamienJemison]

The views on the drive we’re epic! Makes me wanna go on a road trip this weekend! If you are able to, the night between August 12 and 13th, the Perseids meteor shower is going to be great this year. If you happen to be somewhere dark, set your camera up for one of those all-night time lapses. You may catch some fireballs streaming through the sky.

[@paulines5112]

Looks like there was another vehicle there...?

[@3802er]

Ryan! Please think about permanently mounting your Starlink on your van's roof(or new van) in the future! It will make your life way more easier ❤

[@davidjkus]

BROOO!!!! Abandoned tent…. “Oh looks like some left their backpack”… “oh look there is some stacked rocks!” ID OF BEEN OUT IF THER AT ABANDONED TENT. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@RHEOSTAT380]

Anyone who's driven in Alabama (Alaska) knows about mud in the tires!!

[@mkudron1]

One wheel spins, the other, don't do nothin

[@upinalaska49]

You definitely want to be more worried about the moose more so than the wolves. Them moose are no joke when they feel threatened, essentially when they have babies

[@stephenarvay857]

Nice, but urge you to check out Vancouver BC, Vancouver Island, would mean a change of plans and driving back perhaps,......

[@TonyBussert]

The "snow" are Cottonwood Trees. Terrible for hay fever.

[@peterpiper487]

Speaking of Big Foot, I once camped in a place where Little Foot, Thick Man, Bone Walkers, and Puppy Man were known to have appeared to several mental patients who camp in the area.

[@HeliFly1987]

Just an idea Ryan: You can use one of your pots or pans to beat down the chicken. Larger surface area makes it easier

[@CJROYAL]

Love how you skipped over the part where the mechanics charged you an arm and a leg for that procedure 😢😂😂

[@ProductionHive-lb6py]

Been a fan for 3 weeks now bench watching your videos bro

[@hawl20]

I’ve been up here in Alaska in my van from Idaho since June. About to do the descent back down next week. Just missed you Anchorage before you ship out.

[@BmEoAdSeT]

do you ever regret not stopping at pull off spots that aren't within your path? you make plans for 2-4 hour drives and sometimes it seems like they're some cool spots you go by.

[@FiddlesttiK]

Did you really say "I don't have anything in the van to beat the meat with" 😂 ROFLMFAO

[@gmjunkie9194]

VN noodle is awesome! Little mom and pop type place

[@amysticwolf1261]

Bro doesnt your oven have a rack in it? Prop it up on some logs over your campfire thing n boom makeshift grill

[@JordanElizabethLee]

I'm not 100% of an expert here, but I do love backpacking/hiking. I would be careful building "rock towers" :P , sometimes they represent trail markers to help direct hikers to the correct path. Love the camping spot you found!

[@HF1.0]

Good point, but I’m not sure if he’s the one that built the rock tower in the video. I think it was already there but I could be wrong :)

[@JordanElizabethLee]

@@HF1.0 I don't think he did lol, the one in the video was already there. He had just made a side comment about making his own, If I remember correctly. 😄(I could be wrong though!)

[@infamoswordz]

Rock towers also can represent places of worship as well as burial site markers

[@jefflam4605]

You need to make bánh xèo. Also you can fries fish with lemon grass too. I promise you it will be good

[@EdgeOfNowhere2024]

I’m on it

[@jakekisiel7399]

I’ve watched a few of his videos and call me crazy, but I want to go live in my car/suv/van too.

[@EdgeOfNowhere2024]

I don’t think anyone would call you crazy , there is a reason why we watch this cos we all wanna do it too

[@elcafecatgaming]

ive always wanted to visit alaska, and because of you i want to go there even more

[@joeblow9891]

Do it !!!!!!!!

[@Knowfere]

Marinade works really well in gallon sized ziplock baggies with most of the air removed.

[@d-bow8057]

I’m gonna use this as a mark before Ryan hits a million subs! I switched phones 3 times this year which means my lazy ass made a new KZbin account everytime and I always find myself subbing to you as soon as I make the account! Keep up the dope ass vids

[@jasonkmcdonald01]

Hey Ryan, can you share the name of that funky tune around the 5 min mark during your driving montage? Loved it.

[@bowdiefox6955]

I love watching Ryan right before going to sleep

[@chadbrooks9763]

"I don't actually have any meat beating tools in the van" 😂

[@lorimerjulius8]

Hermosos Paisajes Gracias por Llevarnos de Viaje Contigo y Conocer Lugares

Wepaaaa aqui Puerto Rico apoyando a Ryan

[@sherryreinhardt3845]

Since I'm a late arrival to your channel, I'm going backwards through your travels. Love it so far 🤩

[@wendelclements6448]

Checkin looks good man safe travel

[@ToysRUsKid76]

The white stuff floating around is from the cotton trees.

[@markspangler8573]

Thank you. Enjoyed it as always. You should have checked the backpack for ID and at least reported it to the police. Not to many reasons someone leaves their pack and tent behind.

[@AZ-rg3rf]

seriously, nobody simply "forgets" their tent AND backpack behind.

[@lisaann9751]

How did 25 people beat me.. the notification popped and I jumped on it!! Watching now, already liked it

[@HomeCookingSpain]

Im always looking forward to watching your videos👍

[@sarahkutzer1222]

I am really concerned about the empty tent along with the back pack. That is not the kind of thing someone just forgets or leaves behind. Someone may be in trouble or hurt somewhere. That should be reported to the police in case someone needs help! If someone needs help you will be glad you reported it.

[@brokelegbum]

When that chicken hit the ground I instantly thought, “still good!” Lol

[@tracylynnc]

The white floating things are from cottonwood trees.

[@TheJlee28]

After you drain the noodles, rinse it with cold water. If you use vermicelli, just soak in hot water, no need to cook. This way they don’t stick together and absorb all the sauce. I mice fish sauce into anything, so yummy.

[@Queenstarfirewolf]

For the mosquito bites rabbit a little vinegar on a helped and neutralized to change and help to swelling go down.

[@TheJlee28]

I grow lemon grass and have some chicken thighs in the freezer. I’ll make this today. Your BBQ looks very delicious.

[@GLA34567]

You should hike flat top mountain while in Alaska.

[@prod.2733]

hey king idk if it’s just editing but i suggest letting the meat rest for a bit before cutting… you will retain the juicesssss

[@TheAdventureState]

ahhhhh dr pepper zero. winner choice!

[@Tronald81]

best music clips eva... enjoy it every time. Cheers!

[@glamperjan]

The white things are Cottonwood blooms. They look like snow! Live your cooking!

[@infamoswordz]

Was that an abandoned vehicle or just your van from a different angle? Abd that Rick Rowe was originally a marker by whoever was forced to abandon that tent. Good job boy being that guy in the future film who investigates and we one day find the long lost tapes.

[@Mcruz0r]

Dude I noticed you're using the knuckle guard cutting technique which is amazing to see after that whole cutting your finger video. Improving on the daily man, love the content.

[@djmerlin2]

yeah you should report that tent and backpack to the police

[@eskimogolfer]

Dude, theres like a thousand things to do in alaska in the summer with a camper van and your doing none of them?

[@jamessmerecki8493]

Shut up

[@FatDadBMX]

Dude, that tent. I could not sleep there 💀

[@aknickster1985]

the floaty white things are cottonwood seeds
