Thanks Christopher! If you can do it. Nothing else has come close to this adventure. It did actually have 240K views on Vimeo before they removed it (music licensing issue).
What a great video! I love your choices of background music- they really add to the sense of wilderness and give the video a vast, empty feeling. Well done.
What a well put together video! I love stumbling across stuff like this on RU-vid. No pretense, just an honest document of experience. This is what the internet was supposed to be (and was for the most part when RU-vid started.) Thanks so much.
You guys have the proper positive survival attitude. No crying and complaining about hardships and relying on yourself and each other to push through. True Americans.
Thanks, definitely an amazing experience. If you’re looking for more videos from the same area. Look up Justin Dennis on Vimeo (my brother). He went back 2 more times after this trip.
Great video guys, very professional! l watched it in my ultra-wide monitor (21:9) so 1:1 ratio 🤩 What a wonderful experience! l really want to go and visit that area (l love Arctic regions), but maybe in winter. Let's see what life has in store for me. Thanks for sharing, ATB!
Awesome video, hopefully more people can see it in the future. I saw the comment that vimeo deleted the original. Too bad but it looks like you had fun going there!
Great video but the comment about the only national park that doesn’t have any roads or infrastructure is not true. There are several in Alaska , Kobuk valley National Park being one
Amazing adventure, mate! Fascinating to me how vast and empty that part of the country is. You might find caves or waterfalls up there that few if any humans have ever laid eyes on
Real sweet. A tase of the Brooks. If only they would eliminate the eco-music so we could hear the sounds they heard and not the bs background music. I always wanted to see the Range, but I don't have the experience to do the trek so the scenery was a treat.
@@BrewmasterEZ Was going to say, why the hell would you carry that insanely heavy long gun if you're not hunting?! Stupid amount of gear, and apparently none of the right stuff that would've helped.
I’d say personal preference. It was actually easy to travel with. Could be considered a hassle to pack and take on the trip. Bear spray would be fine. Firearm also could be used in a survival situation. Plenty of grizzly bears and wolves up there but usually just run off.
There were definitely places that were worse than others. We were there during a little bit of a heat wave so they weren’t very bad. My brother did two more trips to other river in Gates of the Arctic and both those trip he experienced more rain and a lot more mosquitoes. If you go pack a mosquito net.
"only way to get there" is, and always will be, hyperbole. People say this because they can't imagine actually having to walk, or ride a beast of burden, cross country anymore.
