- Hi welcome to Alaska.
(bright music and yodeling)
Okay, we get some fun things planned today.
First things first though, we're gonna ride
in the back of the truck to the school
that Leslie went to when she was a little girl.
(screaming)
(upbeat music)
Lincoln's little cousin that's in maybe first grade,
she has like a rehearsal for some singing thing.
Look, camera's broke.
What is it that we're doin' here?
- Ruckus in the Jungle play.
She's in the play. - Ruckus in the Jungle.
- That's the name of the play.
The real play is tomorrow, but this is the dress rehearsal,
because we're gonna be busy tomorrow.
- Yeah, we're filming a video tomorrow.
The main reason why we're up here it's the same time
as the real Rumpus in the Jungle.
(children singing together)
(bright music)
(chattering together)
One interesting thing about living in Alaska,
or in Fairbanks, is there are some of the most
prehistoric animals that are still alive,
that are still roaming the roads here and the neighborhoods.
So this is a musk ox farm.
(faint speaking by Lincoln)
This is Lincoln's first time here.
He remembered seeing Musk Ox Center.
There they are.
That's a musk ox. - They're hairy horn thingies.
(upbeat music)
(record scratching)
- Oh no Lincoln.
- [Lincoln] Huh!
- [Daniel] You got it all right in the camera.
- Oh, I'm sorry. - That's what I said not at--
- Lincoln threw snow at the camera.
I don't know if it's working now.
Oh boy, hopefully you guys can see and hear me.
We've got an idea.
This is like an impromptu thing.
He has a giant forklift, and he has something
inside of that shipping container.
Not any of these cool cars.
But something in there that we think we can make
a What's Inside video on that we've never done before.
Could be interesting.

Grandpa's got something for Lincoln, a special job,
that's really important this time of year,
that only Lincoln can do.
- Only me!
Oh whoa.
(suspenseful music)
- Every year we have moose come and stay in our yard,
and they leaves their dropping behind.
Before we can start mowing the lawn, and gettin' on with it,
we have to shovel it.
And I usually throw 'em out in the woods.
There's lots of woods here.
- [Daniel] What happens if you don't do it?
- Well I don't wanna run it over with the lawn mower.
(laughter)
And chop up it.
If you wanna see what's inside moose droppings,
you can do that.
I don't do that.
You scoop it up and then go throw it out in the woods.

- [Daniel] Oh don't throw it in the clubhouse,
the kid's playhouse.
- I didn't make it.
- [Daniel] Oh good.
(upbeat music)
- [Lincoln] I'm cleanin' up some poop!
(upbeat music)
Hey, it's heavy.
Whoa, this one's big.
(faint speaking by Daniel)
- That is one big pile of--
- [Man] Pooh!
(upbeat music)
- [Daniel] Oh yeah, that's some good stuff right there.
- Any more?
- So this is the part of the day where
I go out and run an errand for my father-in-law, Bill,
out at the lake.
Out at the cabin by the lake.
It's pretty cool.
(soft music)
Hi, just pulled over on the side of the road.
You guys have gotta see this.
I am pretty sure, that we're looking at
Denali National Park, and Mount Denali,
Denali mount, mount...
I don't know the name of it.
The tallest mountain in North America, I think.
(laughs)
Check out this shot.
(upbeat soulful music)
I am very certain that, that is Denali.
I've been up here for a lot of different times,
and usually I've never seen Denali.
And everybody always says, they're like
(record scratching)
"It's not called Denali!
"It's Mount McKinley."
Oh I'm so dumb.
It's in Denali National Park,
but it's called Mount McKinley.
Oh man, I'm not smart sometimes.
Alright, I'm back on the road.
We're about 20 minutes away from the cabin.
(upbeat music)
A lake is behind me and it is iced over.
I've never seen it like this.
I've never been out here when it's snowy.
Coming up this hill, the right side
is completely, oh mosquitoes.
The right side is gravel, but the left side is,
oh mosquito, dang, okay!
(buzzing)
They're everywhere!
Look at this, I just killed a mosquito, right there.
(trumpet playing Taps)
Like bears are just coming out of hibernation.
They're probably super-hungry.
Moose are out here.
It's just silent.
(steps crunching)
Yes, there's the lake down there!
(door opening)
Hello.
This is kind of a cabin.
Everything's closed up for the winter.
I mean out there, oh it's so pretty.
It's so pretty right now.
(upbeat music)
So you can see the ice is melting from the shoreline,
but out there in the middle it's still pretty thick.
That is cool.
So peaceful and beautiful out here.
Kids are seeing like a real Alaskan day.
We got the moose poop.
We went to the cabin.
This is more steep than it looks on camera.
Give it two weeks time, all of this
will be green and beautiful.
(car door opening and shutting)
Alright, I just filmed a really cool portion
of the main channel video, that probably hasn't gone up yet.
It's gonna go up in a few weeks.
Evolved to this road right here.
Super-important, super-interesting.
One of my favorite roads in Alaska,
and you'll find out why if you watch the video.
Oh my gosh!
That is a big bump, right there.
Wanna see something that you only see in Alaska?
- [Electronic Voice] Hoarders!
- This is not joke.
Check this out.
There's a trail that leads to their house.
That's some impressive hoarding right there.
(suspenseful music)
I thank you for watching this video, A Day from Alaska.
Tomorrow we have the most important day,
the reason that we came up here today,
and I love bringing you along even though I'm alone
right now in the car.
I can see some of you people that are from Alaska
that are watching and you're like, that's my hometown.
I'm been on that road.
I've been to Harding Lake.
And I just love that.
I love that about YouTube, so please let me know
in the comments what way this video meant something to you
or something that you thought was interesting.
And I'm gonna read those.
I do read 'em even though I don't respond
to every single one of 'em.
But let me know what you think.
Like what have you enjoyed over the last week
from our vlogs, and that you'd like to see.
And if you haven't liked the vlogs,
and you don't want us to vlog anymore,
and just do other type of videos, let me know too.
That's alright, I love your feedback.
It's super-helpful.
So yeah, thanks for watching
and we'll see you guys next time.
