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.

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.....

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

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

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

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!!

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

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.

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

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. 🥶

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!

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!

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

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.

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.

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
