We get our van stuck in remote Alaska. Will strangers help us?

We got our van stuck in Alaska and we couldn't get it out... Which was the beginning of the biggest adventure we've had since coming to Alaska.

A big thank you to Dan and all the awesome people we met in Ninilchik for everything 🥰🥰

[@marleneengel7984]

Wonderful!! Very heartwarming.

[@CoolPlacesAcrossAmerica]

Possibly one of your best episodes because it shows that there are still good people out there. Thanks for putting this episode together.

[@k_and_m8745]

So far my most favourite video in the A to A series. What an amazing amount of kindness, generosity and knowledge. I remember when I was in Northern Canada the men trying to be quiet in the morning to get out to go fish. My ex-husband in bed, I catch them and say, "And you think you are going without me?", lol, the best day ever fishing as an adult. Fast forward years later, I get married for the second time and I allow him to filet my catch and well, let's just say they looked like Hors d’oeuvres. Fast forward a few years later, I caught a 22 1/2-inch bass and the locals tried to tell me it was too small and to put it back. Um, no!

[@kejmat]

You showed us that travel is even more than where you go, what you see and what you do. It's also about the people you meet along the way. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@fredericktmiller]

The beach was a lure and you became caught in an Alaskan fairy tale! Beautiful fish and beautiful video. Thanks. Good job Vinnie!

[@patriciaclarke7686]

So good to see van people who aren’t vegan! Don’t hate me! So glad you had this experience with great people.

[@gaylemcnall1660]

Perfect example of human kindness - it doesn't take much and yet it means so much! Danny and Bob et all you have given not only Naick and Kim one of the best memories they'll have of this adventure but also their viewers, unforgettable❣

[@apriltalley9514]

Glad to see that there are still nice people around.

[@NaickKim]

A very heartwarming experience 🥰

[@giannishen]

You are so lucky to meet good people, maybe this fulfills a sentence: When God closes a door, he must open another window. If Danny is an angel sent by God to help you, I believe it. His zeal to help others will forever remain in your memory and mine; Both your smiles have said everything. This is a sea fishing trip with a good harvest in Alaska. And you both did a really great job, thanks a lot for sharing！👍😄👏 你們真幸運遇到好人，或許這應驗了一句話：當上帝為你關了一扇門，祂同時會幫你開一扇窗； 如果說丹尼是上帝派來幫助你們的天使，我也相信；他的熱心助人將永遠留在你我的記憶之中； 你們的笑容已說明了一切，這是一趟在阿拉斯加豐收的海釣之旅，看來最有釣魚天分的是～金！

[@NaickKim]

Thanks Gianni! This was our most memorable adventure in Alaska for sure! And the others weren't too bad either 😉🥰

[@giannishen]

@@NaickKim Yes, we saw it all! This travel to Alaska is full of unforgettable beautiful memories! 👍🥰🙌

[@ingridnh1]

The amazing kindness of strangers! Wow! You guys were exactly at the right place at the right time to meet Danny. What a memorable experience for you all! With all the positivity & kindness you both put out into the World, this was someone giving it back. This is why we travel, for genuine moments like this! ❤

[@fredyair1]

Good people attract good people. No luck involved.

[@maryannfleury5315]

How amazing is that!!!! I am so happy for you both and also thankful for great local people like Danny, to save the day and show us what Alaska hospitality is all about! Happy Trails!

[@latebloomerabroad]

Very cool! When you're traveling, things just seem to happen if you are open to them, and you meet kind people like Dan.👍

[@dianabalto]

I took note maybe next year we wlll be in the Knai area and book a stay in with Dan. Dan is a great guy ! What is it they do with the head and bones. Do they make a fish soup or broth? That is what I do !

[@hluhluwe99]

Wow! That was so fun to watch! Kim, I’m glad to see that you’re getting into the fishing experience just as much as Naick! I was smiling the entire time! Odd to say, but so great that you got stuck in the sand! Great video guys! Thank you.

[@JTMcAwesomeFace]

Most wholesome ending

[@AmbientWalking]

People can be so kind. It's nice to know that!

[@christabarker7613]

This video warmed my heart. Somebody give these guys a Netflix show...

[@tristinkilian3840]

P.S. this whole videos gave me goosebumps. If there is such a thing as “meant to be” this is it!! Love you both! Kim you are my soul sister, I’m sure of it, our sense of humor and attitude is matched. My husband is Dutch so that accent feels like home.

[@thepracticingartist]

The beauty of people helping people. Wonderful episode

[@marklawrence7603]

The connection of the human spirit is incredible ,God has favour over you , what an incredible experience and why is Kim always catching the big ones ❤️ much love to you both

[@lisatsai8892]

Met right person at right time under a unexpected trouble stuck, then having a wonderful journey and a warmth story ever.

[@tristinkilian3840]

ALWAYS keep 2 pieces of plywood in the van to put behind/in front of the rear tires for traction in these instances.

[@twnxn]

Wow! Great video. I don’t believe in coincidences. It was meant for you to get into this situation to meet such kind strangers as Dan.

[@arnoldsama4470]

What an amazing guy, god bless him and his family. We really want more people like him around us.☺🥰

[@mountainlover830]

My heart is just smiling, and so is my face! I have hoped and prayed for just such experiences for you guys. The kindness of strangers can't be beat. Thanks, Dan & friends for creating memories that will last a lifetime. Nice catch, Naick! And Kim !!!!!! :) :) :)

[@NaickKim]

In the end, the people we meet is what we'll remember from this trip for years and years to come! That, and the fact that my fish was bigger than Naick's fish 😉😉

[@mountainlover830]

😂😂😂🐟

[@micabbg]

For a long time, while watching your videos, I keep thinking that you should connect more with local people, because that is the best way of really getting to know the place you travelled to. So make it an effort, wherever you go, to meet some locals, you will find that most people are like Dan, even if that surprises you.

[@leximorton91]

Just found your channel today and have to say this is my favorite video so far. Such a wholesome encounter with friendly strangers that turned into an awesome experience! 😊 great video and really enjoying watching all your adventures. Thank you for sharing.

[@NaickKim]

It's one of our favorite experiences too. Dan is such a great guy and we feel so grateful for this unique encounter 😍 Happy to have you onboard here.

[@kenandcoreen7179]

Now that was hospitality! What nice people, and such a great experience for you guys. Started out with strangers, ended up with friends. Another great vlog ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@debbiemccallister1852]

Wow..from being stuck to a absolutely wonderful experience, meet new people, fishing,and even being shown how to fillet the fish, absolutely wonderful, money can't buy this, so pleased for you, and we'll done kim ,that was a big fish...oh was there any bears in the area..?.xx

[@chrisdecoste3097]

[@NaickKim]

[@GPosner8]

What a fantastic experience. It’s so wonderful that you found such friendly people. It renews my faith🙏👍👏🏻✌️🤙

[@Din_Din1968]

This video warms my heart. The majority of people in this world are so kind-hearted. They never hesitated to help you and even inviting you into their home - that was super kind. In life everything happens for a reason and this video shows just that. Keep enjoying your travels and meeting perfect strangers!

[@dorinda8097]

What lovely helpful kind and very generous people you met on this journey.

[@chrissyday3849]

Wonderful story! New friends and catching big fish! Can't wait to see what's next! I'm "hooked"!

Everything little thing happens for a reason and always for the best

[@tammysaibene9269]

Congratulations on the BIG CATCH...

[@traceypotter7669]

You were meant to get stuck! What an amazing group of people you found, or who found you I suppose! Thank you for showing just how wonderful and amazing people can still be, and what a spectacular place to show it in too.

[@sabrinastraveladventures4263]

I really believe that coming across the locals during your travels makes all the difference! It’s a little bit as if someone gets you the keys of a treasure chest!Things happen for a reason,not always what it seems at first! I have to say you have come across an amazing amount of extremely kind people ❤ along this journey. I now know where to go if I was going to Alaska!😉 Have fun in LA 🎉 Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧

[@chanmike730]

What a great video! One of the best chance encounter I've seen recorded on video. God bless such a wonderful man who not just helped a stranger in need but beyond.

[@NaickKim]

Above and beyond ❤️ we'll never forget our time there!

[@brendaanderson292]

May you meet many kind people like Danny on your journey. Thank you for making us smile. Needed this lovely distraction with all that happened on Saturday here in Atlantic Canada. Stay safe. Until next time. ❤🇨🇦

[@jennib11]

Those cabins looks so great. We are trying to get to Alaska next year and they are on my list now!!! And WOW what a day you had. The fishing looked like a fun time.

[@ziontours5893]

That's what travel is supposed to be about. Meeting the locals and spending choice time with them.

[@franmiller6270]

I love your channel but not all the gruesome fishing. I realise you need to it but there now a lot on fishing. But it’s a great channel, well done you two, stay safe, Fran.

[@jelena7604]

I am so happy for the grand hospitality you received, the halibut was a bonus.

[@vishnuharshvardhn516]

This is how life surprises good people ...

[@gaylemcnall1660]

PS I would have thrown out everything in that freezer to stock it with the halibut!!

[@cilla07]

I found myself grinning this entire video. People are so damn nice right! I'm so glad you both had such a great experience. Love this!

[@kilerofjap]

[@thelovelybi]

塞翁失馬，焉知非福！😊😊

[@mark.mcguigan]

I always like to think nice people find nice people. So I believe anyway.

[@amos1327]

好人有好報

Yes 🥰🥰

[@serkanister3620]

Again? Start wondering, how you two made to this day!

[@iluv2_travel]

you guys should get stuck more often ! LOL

[@NaickKim]

I've noticed Naick trying to take Vinny to spots he's not supposed to go since then. Might be related to this video haha ;D

[@hshing]

Not that I wish you get into more troubles, but, if next time your van stuck in the San Francisco Bay Area, please let me know. :-)

[@conanjen5948]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@timewizard13]

by alaska law people have to help

[@cobaltbluecava]

I just remembered that I stopped watching these because I can't hear about the fishing. It's so boring

[@NaickKim]

we haven't made any fishing videos in a few weeks, promise 😀👍😀

[@serkanister3620]

Again? Start wondering, how you two made to this day!
