Alaska, the Law of Nature 

I feel blessed to have deep roots up in Alaska. My mother was there in the late 30’s, up in Wrangell. Her father logged, fished and worked in the gold mines up in Juneau. My wife’s father traveled the AlCan in 1947, stayed in Fairbanks, then down in Cordova till 1973. My wife and I met in Cordova in 1983 while I was commercial fishing, I still go up there every summer, it truly is a special place, the history is interesting. We have a couple of cabins in McCarthy near the abandoned Kennicot copper mine in the Wrangell St. Elias National Park.

The only place I've lived that I truly loved and hated simultaneously. The scenery and solitude is fantastic, the weather is absolutely awful.

My earliest memories as a child are from Alaska, where I lived in Fairbanks in 1959 with my parents. Views of the snowclad mountains and of the bays along the coast instilled in me a love for nature till this day. I now live in Israel.

It’s a great way to describe it. There’s a town and things go out, in Alaska, but in the lower 48, the wilderness is always surrounded by the town

Great movie ! Nothing like pure wilderness. That rush of a pure wind, the feel of water on your skin bathing in the river at 6 am in the morning, that feeling of walking on the edge of existence knowing that every step is up to you.....

wow...thank you for this.... with all the BS of city life and current events.....this brought me back to reality for 52 minutes.... thank you again!!

There's the lower 48, Alaska and that pacific island state! It's way different by far than where your from. So glad I got to have an extended stay there. While amazed at this place, the dry dusty desert is where MY heart lies. This documentary did a fine fine job showing the two things that stand out in Alaska. The huge space of light, geology, weather, water and the deeply powerful spirit of Alaskan's themselves. Thanks much for the posting.

Finally thank you best documentry channel for showing our crown of USA

Wish everyone understood being with Mother Nature is where all our answers lies. The more we go away from Nature, the more we suffer.

They always show alaska in the summer when it's warm and light and you can do everything. Go up there in January when it's dark and cold af. 🥶

This film was released in 2015. Should be in the description! Great movie!!

I agree with Libby tho I live in Northern Maine, almost to the tip top, vast wilderness NO shopping malls heck only shopping center is over an hour away! peaceful

I loved the "everything on a gigantic scale" part of being in Alaska!

This is an awesome film. I knew that Eivan was a Kilcher, as soon as I laid eyes on him. He looks so much like his cousin, Ivan.

WONDER-FULL!!! Thank You, ALL Adventurers!!!

@ the 6:00 mark,that was a great description of Alaska and the feeling that you have when you’re there!

Watching 2 people walking on the foreboding glacier w/ countless deep crevices, taking photos of these huge perilous grizzly bears in such a close range dicing w/ death ( they just spread their arms & clapped to scare them off!, Holy Smoke! I wonder if anyone carries a gun just in case.), rafting along the dangerous river alone in a small frail boat, etc., I can't help feeling this place must be a paradise or the destination of choice for those valiant, courageous, & adventurous nature-lovers or enthusiasts ( it almost defies imagination for a city-dweller like me!!!). Soundly enjoyed, admired, & appreciated it to the core at my cosy residence in the warm California. (02/22/24)

The landscape and nature are beautiful. Thank you for sharing the video. Greetings from Singapore.👍😍👍

Danial my helicopter pilot all summer long while I guide remote backcountry rafting, fishing, camping excursions. She is a wonderful pilot and is a true Alaskan badass!!!

Congratulations, it's a very pleasant and interesting documentary to watch! Alaska seems to be a very special place! Cheers from our tropical Brazil!🙏✝️🇧🇷

I think the man with Libby is a relative of the kilchers from Alaska the last frontier, Nice!

Awesome !!!! Alaska = Freedom, Adventure and Surrender to Nature !!!!

I got to visit AK several times and got to do some motorcycling. I just wish I had more time to do fun stuff there. I could not get over the sheer beauty everywhere and the big animals roaming freely everywhere even in the cities. I always think about the explorers/settlers who arrived in the 1800s and early 1900s with the challenges they dealt with.

Thank you for this lovely video about an incredible place. My Wife and I enjoyed a brief vacation along the Southwest coast of Alaska, a few years back. It was stunningly beautiful and interesting.

that's a Kilcher boy ..go Evan !

I love the beauty and serenity of Alaska and I admire the people who settle for a simple, peaceful life. I think it's great, but the climate would keep me from settling there.

Як добре , що ця Земля належить Америці , а не росії , бо в інакшому випадку там люди голодували і жили дерев'яних бараках де немає води , туалетів , звичайних комунікацій . Хай Живе Америка та Україна Переможе у війні 🎉 💙💛✌️

This is the pronunciation of Kenai, KEEN eye!

Good plan “…my first year in Alaska I never had a car I went everywhere by plane or mountain bike to me that was the dreamland and still is”

That Ivan, from Alaska the last frontier

Beautiful landscapes

Beautiful Alaska and nature I love it what dream to be there awesome 👌

Fantastic landscape and people. Watching from Italy. Thank you for sharing ❤🎉

Wilderness at its purest form

Wow! Amazing. Thank you for the adventure.

ALASKA IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY ! 🐻🐧🦫🐼🐫🐫🦬🦬

Wonderful, truly wonderful !!

I've been all over the world , however i lived in Homer for a year. and it was the most wonderful place i've ever been. i can't imagine a better place. 😁👍

Nice job showing off AK and my hometown, Talkeetna! Danielle, Carl and Joe are about as 'Talkeetna' as a person can be! It's so cool to see my friends and neighbors on a French documentary (even the ones who didn't get named!). After seeing how many 'documentaries' just completely make a mockery of our lifestyle, it's nice to see one get pretty close with it. Cheers!

Grazie ! bellissimo documentario ! un saluto cordiale da Luciano il perugino (Italia)😀

Beautifully done! Thank you!

GREAT SALUTE TO THE MAKERS OF DOCUMENTARY.

This has been an interesting production thanks for sharing

Alaska is my favorite place 😍 💕 ❤ 💛 💓 💗

"By the morning you gonna be working in Alaska... so dress warm" - Tony Montana 😂

I love this lady very smart and classy I can wait to head to Alaska sucknof of Louisiana I worked in Alaska 2 time to get a new power spot it seems the lower 48 over run and almost out priced for lit Alaska is the last great clean land North America 👍👍

A very nice documentary. I didn´t know that people where still allowed to build out in the Alaskan wilderness? Anyone??

Hi Libbey. You are so lucky .I have that feeler of freedom .Homer sounds nice. I live in the rocky mountains but not as secluded, I wish I had a chance of heaven like you ,peace. Love and beads GGG

This was great, “real content” like this is so rare these days. No cgi here, no AI.

Very beautiful

The name 'Alaska' comes form the Aleut word 'Alyeshka', which referred to the Alaska Peninsula that stretches SW from the mainland and ends at the strait before Unimak Island. It was so-called because it was a large landmass compared to the Aleuts' small islands of the Aleutian Chain.

My daughter and her husband just moved there to Homer beautiful to meet her father-in-law and her loving it

I just wish online retailers would recognize that Alaska is the 49th STATE in the US. Dunno how many times I've tried buying stuff from down south and they tell me they don't ship international.........

Such a "Real Alaska Living" vlog!

It would be nice to really be in the back country. It is harder in the lower 48. I can see a home now from my kitchen window. Sad, but though I am not in the Alaskan back country (I've been to Seward and all around Prince William Sound.), I live about as far out in the lower 48 rural area as many can get. But, having lived for 25 years on and Island in Washington, I miss the ocean. I see lots of deer every day. I live 5 driving hours either north or south from an interstate and 20 air miles from the largest wilderness area outside of Alaska. I'm glad I got to spend part of 7 summers working on a family purse seiner mostly in Southeastern Alaska. I saw coastal Alaska in the mid 60's. Occasionally I will talk to someone from Alaska who moved south. When he hears some of my stories, I often hear, "You were in Alaska when Alaska was Alaska." It was just a bit wilder when I was 17 years old to 24. I'm 79 now. No speed boats, no policemen, creek watchmen getting killed, selling salmon to Japanese freezer ships, glaciers one could drive to, ghost towns with building having gold speckled through wooden walls. I like camping in the Idaho foothills of the Rocky Mountains where you rarely see anyone, but it isn't like Alaska. When I was 20 I was gold panning in Lituya Bay where we came ashore to avoid a 70 knot wind. And 100 yards away a mother brown bear stood up on her hind legs sniffing the air.--My new 30-30 looked mighty small. Lots of wild animals, rugged country with high rugged mountains, in north central Idaho, but nothing like Alaska.

great video love alaska

Very cool documentary. Wild land Inspireing people!

Libby is the real deal.

Thank you.

23:38 "The last place without a lot of rules". Either this fellow has never read the Alaska fish and game laws or he simply ignores them.

I love and I hate this place. lol from anchorage to the Matsu valley is my area and mostly I love it. Just not right now 🤣

Sure looks like the fella from Alaska, the last frontier! How long ago was this filmed?

Libby tossing the fish 🐟 guts 😆

Good morning from YIPMA BARUYA You Tube channel. PAPUA NEW GUINEA

I knew that was Kilcher property. Kinda neat to see that family from a different perspective.

Addendum; I can't help thinking that Russians must have expressed in retrospect their greatest regret on the deal in 1867 in terms of military & business advantages, i.e., oil was discovered in Alaska in 1968 as you may know, & in addition, in terms of strategy, Russia might have possessed such an unimaginable advantage over the US should they have kept it. So we are greatly grateful & gratified w/ the deal. I wonder if anyone else feel sentient of it. Thanks for reading my comment in anticipation,,,,,(02/22/24)

Best wishes Brave ❤
