What is going on everyone I thought I'd give this a try I got the new Mike thing for the GoPro
So I thought I'd give it a try and see how it sounds I am off to meet
the old ball-and-chain just kidding my wonderful wife at
Some work function. I don't know the girls go out after work or something like that, and I thought I'd meet them there
This is the rode mic the little tiny one on a GoPro
So, I don't know how it's gonna work out, but we'll see so I just got finished with
The Alaska trip, which I did a livestream and I posted some pictures on Facebook and Instagram of it
It was very exciting. And this is the downside of going on a trip with friends and
My son, especially I was more interested in the experience with them than I was actually focusing on my job
Which was to make a good YouTube video, so I didn't do much talking while I was there. I
Filmed things and fished and then had some beer things like that. But um, yeah the Alaska trip, but it's kind of jumbled
I hope you guys enjoyed it. Ooh
All right, Alaska's tomorrow. So we're going to Cabela's for the first time. I've never been to Cabela's
I want to go the Bass Pro Shop, but I hear this one's pretty good, too. It's mean floor on our way
20 minutes later. Alright, so we did Cabela's and dance was a little disappointed
All right, so maybe as far as Anchorage
it's a
10 a.m. To 15 or 10:30 local time probably by now
One thing we notice here that drinking starts early
You
Alaska is the type of place that no video can do it real justice so much of this state is untouched by development
And it's just wild you get this strange feeling of calm when you're here least I did
Our trip took us to the Kenai Peninsula and the town of Soldotna
Soldotna is just upriver from the Cook Inlet
And the city of Kenai Soldotna has just under forty seven hundred residents and Kenai only has about eight thousand resident the entire
Population of the peninsula is only around sixty thousand so it's not some like major metro area
Like I was saying it's kind of untouched the entire Kenai Peninsula
Is more than double the size of Massachusetts and only has about 1% of the people that all changes during the salmon run the peninsula
explodes with men and
Fishing poles and their families sometimes the sports fishing and tourists industry are a major part of the economy for the whole Kenai, Peninsula
Not just Soldotna or places like that
You don't want to be on YouTube
So they also got some really good breweries on the peninsula. This one right here is the Kenai River Brewing Company. It was phenomenal
They had great food some really great beer even a gummy bear beer. It was pretty cool. The waitresses were amazing
Are they still called waitresses?
remember how they used to be bartenders and then mixologist and then there was
Stewardesses and then they'd be in flight attendants and you know, they kind of spice up their name what's going on with waitresses?
They haven't changed their name a long time. Maybe we should change their name start calling them sustenance
transporters or something
2,700 gummy bears. Is that what she told you really 2,700 gummy bears?
One weird thing is they closed like at eight or nine o'clock. I don't know what that's all about
Maybe they want to get you home before the bears come out or something
Speaking of bears that's a sign they put up when they've had bears
In the area spot in the area. That's put up by the
Department of Fish and Game Alaska Department fish game they put it up there
So, you know that there's been a bear around here, you know
You're out there fishing on the river and you you get them all the time
It doesn't want to come on board dizzy
All right, we are heading to Homer, Alaska
We just left Kenai in a little while ago construction. We're sitting here
We are passing clam Gulch, which really sounds like a strip club if you ask me
But we're on our way there with a bunch of people that are half asleep
There's the middle finger I
Don't know what it is, but for some reason when my son goes on these road trips, he quit speaking
What?
It's like poetry
But yeah
So the grand Alaskan adventure continues I was gonna make one video
But I think I got enough footage to make three so we'll have to go for that
So it is off - where's our first stop anchor point?
Anchor point is I'm going to get the tattoo of an anchor there
This is a terribly sketchy bridge
I was I was making a joke and then I realized holy shit. That's one
Yeah, we got to stop with that thing on the way back free barbecue
Weird Homer Alaska on what they called the spit if you look at it from map, I'll show you right here. Okay
So this is the end of the spit as they call it here in Homer Alaska, which is basically it's not even a peninsula
It's like this
Somewhat manmade just stretch a land out into the middle of the bay back. There is pretty much Homer
across the bay is
Pretty much untouched wilderness. I'm sure people go over there, but you know what? I mean? There's no real cities or towns or anything
for all that distance I
Hope you guys can see it as good as this is showing good looks but it's pretty neat. They actually sell condos down here
Which I mean probably an amazing view, but you're a little four. You're a little far away from everything
Yes, you're a little far away from everything - but you're a little far away from everything thora. How's your day going so far?
Maybe beulas want to get a beer
Alright the salty dog
Old weathered
Oh
I know. I just don't know if I want him
This building here is the land end resort I've never stayed there
So I can't really tell you how it is. But I imagine it's hard to suck as a hotel with that as your view. I
want to stay here just so I can wake up one morning and look out and see that I was looking at their website and
Apparently Orca are out here all the time. Just swimming around on the bay
amazing
You
