5 Days Winter Camping & Chasing Caribou in Alaska

In search of Alaska's delicious caribou we take a winter excursion to the snow frosted hills where we discover thousands of tracks, find a neat shed and get a little more than we bargained for on our final day of hunting. Although no caribou were harvested, we enjoyed our hot meals, the spectacular scenery and appreciated the unseasonably mild weather.

We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀

Today I am 62. This is what I wanted for my birthday. Simple living and a good cup of coffee. It will be a great day.

Thank you guys for putting a smile on my face. I don't know all but I love yall❤❤

When I see the beautiful but scary landscapes you film, it seems as if you are the only two humans on the earth. You are an unbelievably adventurous couple, just made for each other!

Next time you go on a trip like this take some of your lump coal you have for the shop. If you put a piece in before bed it will burn all night. We did this in our tent stove when I was younger hunting with my stepdad. It is nice to wake up in a warm tent and you don’t need as much wood or wake up to add more during the night.

The antler find was awesome even if you didn't bag a caribou! I expect we'll see it mounted somewhere cool sometime. Thanks for taking us along. 👍

Eric, your bolt freezing issue is probably due to grease/oil that’s on the gun currently. Clean the bolt completely of any lubricant as it will hold water and hence, freeze. I use Brake Kleen to remove and lube or solvents that can freeze- carb cleaner works well too. Just do it in a ventilated area. Run your bolt dry in below temps and I use a light touch of sewing machine oil in warmer weather.

I hope you know we appreciate the extra time you take to give us some incredible shots. First off….as you began your journey, the shot of Eric riding his snow machine with the light in back of him was fantastic! Thanks again for letting us come along! I think you guys are the #1 channel for most of us viewing!

what a way to end my weekend, fresh cup of coffee and 47 minutes with my favorite TYers. Yes, I do live vicariously through you two. )

[Revelacion]

I really enjoy these videos 💪🏼

I appreciate you guys don’t have all the other stuff that’s annoying. Commercials, commercials to sell stuff, or over dramatic thumbnail pics.

You guys are genuine creators 👍🏼

The distances involved when hunting caribou seems overwhelming at times and I understand why you need to follow them and try to ambush them. However, with all of the sign around and near your camp it might be a could idea to plan your camp near an more open area and then spend a day watching and glassing nearby. I've never hunted caribou but I've found over the years that the more that I posted on a good trial or bottleneck in the woods, the more deer that I'll see. And most of the more successful whitetail deer hunters that I've known have almost always been those who scout before the season and pick a good spot (taking into account the wind that day) and spent the day quietly sitting and watching. Finding the shed was pretty cool, and I can't wait to see whether Ariel decides to can them or freeze them! Caribou antler alfredo!!

The foggy & snowy weather you guys had reminds me of the time I nearly got lost on a mountain in Yellowstone. I was in the backcountry of Yellowstone during an off day from a week long wolf research expedition. The day started a little cloudy but nothing to worry about. I wanted to get out “hiking” in my snowshoes. As I started to head up the mountain the beautiful skies quickly turned to grey, snowy, and extremely foggy! I should have turned around right away but of course I didn’t. Sometime later, I realized I had gotten off the posted path and didn’t know where I was. My hike was supposed to be short and sweet so I didn’t carry a compass, emergency locator, or other emergency equipment. There wasn’t any cellular service in the area. I did my best to follow my previously placed footsteps down the mountain, but because it was snowy and foggy the snow covered my footsteps and I couldn’t see very well. Many hours later I happened to see the cabin the research crew was staying at off in the distance. To say I was happy I didn’t die alone on the side of the mountain was an understatement!!
Wow, I hadn’t thought about that day in forever until I saw your video! Looks like you two had a good trip
