On June 16 2023, a month after this film was a released, Jim Tweto, the pilot, passed away in a plane crash. Shane Reynolds, passenger and hunting guide was also lost in the crash. Courageous men. They died doing what they loved. Please send your thoughts and prayers to their families. They deserve all the love and support in the world.
Can you share any more information about this incident?
@@nickweborg9485 I was hunting out there outside of Unalakleet from May 25-June 11. The terrible accident happened around 11:40 am on June 16th the morning after the last hunter filled his tag. Base camp was set up on a ridgeline, the only place to land in that area was on the slope of the hill leading up to the ridgeline. That base camp is hunted out of fairly often so Jim was used to landing there, despite it being treacherous. The crash happened as they tried to take off down the slope and failed to lift up off the ground. We don't know the cause of the crash, but AK state troopers should release a report outlining the potential cause in a few months. From what I've heard, friends and fellow pilots of Jim think it was a mechanical issue that caused the crash.
Please keep Jim, Shane, and their families in your prayers. God bless them.
Here are some articles that are accurate. This video below covers the details very well:

Always hard to lose good men
@@DavyGriz thanks for sharing
An incredible film and an honorable way to pay tribute to your best friend. Well done everyone.
Ditto
😊
I’m so glad you finally agreed to release this, Cam. For so many reasons. And you won’t see this comment, but this is the film the hunting industry needed, desperately. Thank you for the time, effort, and unbridled passion that went into making it.
Roy would be proud, I don’t think anyone would argue otherwise. This was an incredible tribute to an incredible human being. Thank you for releasing this, truly.
Amen Mr Watts! 🙏🏽
Well put.
Beyond my expectations, Cam you are truly one of a kind and I only wish more men of today's Era would would adopt your hardiness and work ethic. Very sorry for your loss, I know "time heals wounds" but all wounds leave scars. Keep living life to its fullest
When I turned 30 years old in 2018, I decided to go carve out a life for myself in the mountains of Alaska. 5 years later, I run my own dog mushing yard, I hunt my own meat with a compound bow, and I am constantly seeking the next adventure… always wondering what’s over the next ridge. Cam had a LOT to do with my decision to take that leap. Grew up with a Dad that was never around, and I had to choose my own heroes and role models as people I wanted to be like, and Cameron Hanes was one of the people who’s message and mission really spoke to me. Thank you for all that you do, Cam. You’ve made a big difference in the lives of a lot of men like me, just by being who you are.
Man I'm happy for you. I have gotten to Alaska and hope to escape the Anchorage trap ASAP. Wish you the best of winter.😊
And you still love it I assume? Amazing job bud!
@@saltytexan123 Loving Alaskan life and looking forward to whatever the future brings in this beautiful state!
Thank you for sharing your story and inspiration from Cam.
Such a great testimony!! Get done whatever you need while your young enough. Around 50 the body starts changes. Im trying to warn people because noone warned me. All the best to you. ❤ from Canada
Man, this is so special. Everyone needs to see this. What an honor to have such a friendship.
This is an absolute master piece, mad respect for Branlin creating something so beautiful in such difficult conditions.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✔️✔️✔️ Bro thanks for carving a path! God Bless you Cam
44:15 this is one of the most badass things i've ever seen. The way it was executed, filmed and edited... damn son. What a great film.
No words to say Cam. The definition of honor and respect.
Much love brother.
So…words? 😂😂😂
@@shaungray94 Ack ack.
😉
That ending got me. It almost reminded me of the film with Jason Harrison's last sheep hunt. We can all tell you're still grieving the loss of Roy, even 8 years later. Thanks for the film
Amazing film Cam and all
Those involved ❤
I’ve never been gutted with such inspirational, and respectful reflection as I was with this. This is Honor and I can only hope I have an impact like Roy did on someone in my life. “ Don’t quit when you’re tired. Quit when your done”…….RESPECT from Idaho
The best hunting film I have ever seen. Such raw emotion, especially knowing the story and hearing Cameron talk about his reluctance to release the film. Branlin Shockey damn might win an Oscar for this documentary.
Cam still encourages all of us. Epic to overcome a video he didn’t want to share and faced it with Kipp podcast and for us to see that pain and overcome. Truly remarkable. Hats off Cam
My older brother took his son out deep into Alaska's backcountry this last season for mountain ram. After 21 days and 60 miles, they were successful. He is 65 and my nephew is in his mid 20's. I am not sure at this time if anyone else was with them but I doubt it. My grandfather was a mountain man here in the PNW and while I was too young to join them, my brother was lucky to gain the experience he taught. This video is a great reminder to me of a life that's fading away. I'm sure my brother and Cameron would be great friends. Thx cam
Relentless & inspirational. Thanks for sharing your story with the world, Cam.
Cam, you literally define the person I needed as a kid. I love what you do, but, more importantly, I love you and what you do for us. Thank you
That kid doesn't just go away. You have people like him now. That's when you were ready.
Feel bad for you if you look up to Cam.
I’m not crying, you’re crying! That’s some tough but beautiful and honorable first 14 minutes. 🥹🏋🏼🏃🏼♂️🏹🐻 What a great film! Unbelievable videography! And seeing Cam like this...thank you for this insides. Also thanks to Kip and especially to Johnny Rydeen for shooting the bear, I know Cam didn´t like it but, Cam you are needed in this world for some more time.
A terrific film. Congratulations to all involved. Cameron, your dedication, ethic and devotion to your friend, Roy is so overwhelming. You brought tears to me eyes at the end. I feel privileged to have been a part of one of your hunts - a memory I will cherish for many years to come. A huge thank you!
To Cam. I am a fellow hunter and outdoorsman. I respect your determination. What seems to be wrong is that there is a lack of awareness and respect for taking this bears life. During the video you say "no rifles". Once the bear was dead you can hear that your unhappy with how the animal had to be killed with rifle, that's seems to be coming forming your on ego. Because It didn't fit into how you wanted the story to go we now have a dead bear with people around having to justify to you why they shot it rifle. The point is if your going to kill an animal have respect. If your not going to be happy then don't take the animals life to begin with. If your ok with death then walk into that thicket alone, with no rifles. Instead of staring over this dead bear unhappy.
Relax fella. He was upset because he's dedicated and true to his craft. That's his life. Just a guess, but I doubt you've dedicated yourself to something with the same discipline over a massive amount of time like he has. That means something.
Hell of a tribute to your brother. This should win a award
“I’m prepared to die. This is what I do” gave me chills. Love it, Cam!
Same thing here man! It was epic !
Except if there was "no gun" he would have.
@@mxracer317 I wonder how often he goes grizzly hunting by himself? I get tired of the attitude of "If I don't kill them they kill me", when the person isn't actually putting themselves in that situation. It's just big talk at that point.
Really? It made me cringe but whatever.
@@dylanstandingalone uh. Not one hunter brown bear hunts by themselves not one
I discovered @cameronhanes two days before Roy passed away in 2015. Being a bow hunter myself I was drawn to ALL of his materials immediately. I have since HUNG ON EVERTHING I can get my hands on that CAM is part of, so when they went on this hunt I was disappointed that this footage was not available! I have hunted for an END to this hunt since the partial footage first came out, so this was a BREATH OF FRESH AIR for me and an ENDING to this hunt!!! Great job on the FILM Mr. Shockey!!! ...oh, and I choked up at the end like many others I'm sure, when Cam was hiking and talking about Roy! R.I.P., Roy!!! ...and Cam, once again it was an honor to spend MY TIME watching you and this PART of your LIFE! You SPEND your TIME wisely and I love that about your sir. Love and Kindness in your direction @cameronhanes love and kindness in your direction!!! Bret Martin, CEO and FOUNDER of Mom and Pop Business Funding.
It doesn't get any more real than that folks. Ups and Downs, a heart felt journey, and a bit of self reflection. This is how you find peace.......
Watching this film on a full moon night here in Michigan was so epic. I think about hunting all the time. But this makes me think about it even more. The cinematography, music, camera angles, story telling. This sets a new bar for hunt films. Thank you Cam for inspiring me and many others to be better every day. Push harder each day. Thank you brother.
Same- watching in West Michigan, well said!
Port Huron Michigan here
Same here live in saline mi
Midland Michigan here. Phenomenal film
Sheridan, MI here 👌🙏
So anxious and excited to see this! Thank you for sharing more of Roy’s story. It deserves ti be shared! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🔨🔨🔨
I have to say this was one of the greatest videos that I have ever watched. It is incredible to see how much Roy meant to you and what an awesome tribute this is.
Awesome documentary Cam thanks for taking us on this journey with you, and sharing Roy's memory and story with us.
Cameron Hanes continues to drop better and better content. We thought he was a beast back when he worked a 9-5… look out now. The Beast has been Unleashed. 🔥
Couldn’t agree more. Cam Hanes was already an animal, and now he’s reached a new level. Can’t wait for him to keep putting out awesome content! 🙏🙏
💯!
The last few minutes when Cam said 'Roy this is for you'hit me right in the feels. This film is brilliant, a great way to honour your friend Roy.
Hell of a tribute to your brother. This should win a award. Relentless & inspirational. Thanks for sharing your story with the world, Cam..
Thank you so much Cameron for sharing this story with us. I am a LONG TIME fan and I respect everything that you do. Your shared passion(s) are like a gift. They give up us awareness, happiness, strength, and knowledge. "Keep Hammering!"
Simply epic. Thanks for bringing us all on this journey Cam.
this was incredible. One of not the best if not the best hunting video i’ve ever seen. when you guys were going into the brush after it my heart was pounding i can admit i was absolutely terrified tryin to imagine being in that situation. sorry you weren’t able to do it your way also happy you or anyone else isn’t dead . thanks for sharing this great tribute to a legendary hunter and friend
Well done to everyone involved in putting this together, absolutely brilliant for so many reasons. Thanks for sharing this story.
What an amazing video. What an incredible trip and journey for your group. And may Roy’s memory forever live on.
Yo Cam can’t wait to watch this adventure ✊🤙 glad you decided to share this experience
Incredible. This was put together with the touch and essence like only a master of their craft could. From start to finish nothing but emotion and passion. Well done!
The way you look up to Roy and hold him close like a brother makes me think about what I’m leaving when life is over for me. It’s a truly inspiring film. Thank you to everyone involved.
I don't have the words to describe what i was feeling and thinking during this film. Absolutely one if the best films inhave ever watched. Cam, Roy wiuld be proud of you and the others on this amazing hunt.
Absolutely incredible video!! It’s a special time when we meet a person that changes our life’s trajectory like Roy did for you Cam. Know that through your example you are doing the same and inspiring others to find purpose and passion in life!! Hats of to Branlin for capturing the adventure and doing what he does to put us there with you!! Keep 🔨🔨
Thank you Cam for sharing this video with us, I know it wasn't an easy thing for you to do. Keep hammering and keep inspiring 🤘🏻
🔨🔨🔨 what a beautiful way to live,honor noble humbled
Absolutely epic! Thank you so much, to the entire crew, and for releasing it!
Amazing story!! The videography and editing is absolutely incredible. One of the best I’ve ever seen.
Feelings can break people, but friendship lasts forever. Thank you Cam and Branlin.
Always amazing content Cam. Taught me so much and inspired me to push forward, embrace the outdoors more and start hunting. I have truly started to live with more balance and growth, thanks again. All the best.
These are the films that need to be winning awards and topping charts . Incredible. So much to take in . Thank you .
The dream. Can’t wait to see it Cam!
Honour & Respect personified - what a beautiful piece of filmmaking & storytelling
Cameron Hanes! man, it's an honour to follow along and share your journey, Roy would be proud - he was there in your hunts by your side, when he was around, backing you up & he was here as well... I don't know how else he could've made his presence felt, but to ensure that you walk away unscathed - your destiny remains unchanged, because you still have your guardian angel by your side - Roy still wants you to share and be around to inspire - in doing so, you'll succeed and make mistakes along the way as well, like we all do, but your heart's in the right place and that's all that matters - keep the faith & Keep Hammering...
Branlin Shockey! this is a phenomenal piece of filmmaking and it inspires me to tell stories again - thank you so much for sharing
Kip Fulks! anytime Morgan Freeman wants to retire, he can rest easy knowing that you got his narrator jobs covered - powerful words throughout my friend & that snuggly pillow adds a unique charm to this broad & earnest portrait of masculinity
Wow Cam, what a special tribute to your friend of a lifetime. May we all be so fortunate to have a friend in life, whom holds us in such high esteem as you do Roy. I'm so glad you decided to release this intense and touching film. Keep Hammering!
You can tell how much Roy meant to Cam, and how much Cam meant to Roy.
Thank you for sharing this story with us.
Cam is truly the definition of what a "MAN" is suppose to be. This film was so amazing! Amazing editing, amazing everything! Cam pouring his sole out at the end, had me in tears! Always "KEEP HAMMERING" 🤙
man with money
@@rylandpeters8982 get out of that mindset… you can also go EARN money.
Not really, shooting animals in the white man's view is brave, takes skill, and courage.....I just see weak cowards shooting animals because they can't fight anything straight up.
@The Shitty Bowman people who can do what he does and goggins does without money is a lot harder and there's people who do it that's way more stoic than rich people doing "savage" shit with all the gear and money and recovery and gadgets and gizmo's in the world.
@Ghett0 Vet Cam has worked the same 9-5 job for like 25 years while doing everything he does
I’ve probably watched this film more times than I can count already. I try and make all of my close friends and hunting buddies and companions watch this if they haven’t. Life is too short, and this is beautifully captured and shared with all of us, two legends, Roy and Cam, one of those inspirational friendships that make you realized that you need to enjoy the little moments a little bit more. An absolutely incredible film, and a wonderful and loving tribute to an absolute savage legend. Roy will be with you until you meet again. All I can say is thank you for being an inspiration and sharing your perspective with us all.
One of the best hunting videos I have ever watched!!! Thanks Cam, Kip and Branlin for the honesty!! 🏹🤘
You are an inspiration, Cam. Thanks for sharing this amazing story. I have often seen bow hunting in the same light but didn't realize how much it meant to me until I watched this. Godspeed brother.
This is beautiful, good on ya cam, tribute to Roy was a tear jerker. You have to visit/hunt in Newfoundland one day
What an incredible film. It takes us hunters to see the humility, emotions and relationships this sport brings together in all of us. It’s not about the kill, it’s much greater than that. Amazing to watch this story unfold and how it emotionally pulls you in. We all have our inspirations, and to watch these men allow themselves to be vulnerable and honest and reflect on their relationships and what they mean (meant) is inspiring. There is hope for humanity. Thank you for sharing.
Man, it's always so difficult to explain to someone what hunting is and what the experience is like and this absolute gem of a documentary literally plays all the emotions and experiences right before your eyes. If anyone ever asks "why do you like hunting" I will send them this video and tell them to take the time and afterwards, they will understand.
Thanks for making such an amazing piece of art, may Roy rest in piece. I am sure he is looking down from above with a smile that would light up everyones day.
Truly inspirational. Love the footage and the professionalism of your craft. Thank you for sharing a glimpse into your world with us.
This was such an emotional tale. Cam leaves it all out there for everyone to see. I admire him for all he has done to inspire people to be better versions of themselves. Thanks for shining a light for all of us to follow.
Your story telling is unreal. You really bring us into your journey. Thanks you.
This is one of those films that needs to be watched from start to finish! Amazing job and story; what a wonderful tribute!
Beyond words. Thank you for releasing this. So many lessons I took from this. Thank you
Rest In Peace to a true legend, Roy Roth.
I am incredibly moved...moreso, since this Saturday I will be attending the memorial service for one of my long-time bowhunting buddies and fellow retired Veterans. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your special moment and journey with us. I appreciate that. I felt like being part of your spirit and it was amazing.
Much love from Perth.
Shows great humility sharing this while knowing what it means to you. Thanks for being strong and stay strong. Roy wouldnt want it any other way
This is so awesome! I started following you in 2007 when I was in Iraq! I’ve read all your books more than once. Cameron’s, you have changed peoples lives and motivated people to be better! You’re a badass human being Cameron, thank for all you have done for us all…you’re a stud!!
Wow Cam what a film. I have lost my hunting partner and best friend and father figure. Not sure I'll ever get over it. You are inspiring, and a true badass. Great job sir!
Absolutely beautiful in every way. Thank you for sharing your journey of not just the hunt, but the heart behind it, your love for Roy & the impact he has made in your life. Through you he continues to impact us. Thank you for not stopping.
#KeepHammering
Cam’s vulnerability in this video really showed how tough a human being he is. It also showed me he is not super human and reminded me that i need to continue getting mine. Roy, Cam, Kip this film was an inspiration inspiration and is one of the best hunting films i have seen in a long long while.
Thanks for dealing with that hurt and going back, walking into Roys room was a powerful moment in time! My Dad died almost 2 years ago, I have not gone home and been detached with the thoughts of dealing with it all. This really hit me, we Loved to hunt, I haven't touched a gun or bow in many year. It's true, it's not about killing the animal, it's about you as the wind kisses your cheeks and peace floods your soul.
This is going to be epic
No doubt
Proving to be just that.
💯
Amazing cam. Truly humbling and amazing to watch. You’re a very good man and an excellent role model to a lot of people. Got a lot of respect for you and your way of life. Keep hammering 💪🏼
Men without courage live in fear. Roy was a man of courage as are you Cam. I could feel the struggle that you had to endure to return to Alaska, be in Roy’s home with his family, and to hunt this apex predator without your best friend. God Bless!
Shooting animals takes the least courage of anything on Earth I guess for weak white men it is brave for anyone else it is pathetic
Having a friend that helped you find the thing that drives your very being is rare. Being able to pay tribute to that person is even more special. Cameron and Kip are a true inspiration. Thank you for making this.
This was truly incredible from beginning to end, the story of Roth and your inner battle to return to something you truly both loved was amazing. Thank you for sharing this journey with the world. 🔨🔨🔨
That was one of the best things I’ve watched in awhile. Such amazing footage.
I can only imagine how amazing it must be to grow up near mountains 😢 Cameron and the Guys did a fuckin amazing job filming this, it really is inspiring just to watch the way this was filmed and the brotherhood and love for the outdoors you all share. Very jealous of y’all it’s a dream of my dad and I to bow hunt even in the realm of these guys. One day ☝️ I’ll be able to take my dad on an Elk trip, after recently losing my mom a month ago on my sons birthday this really hits home for me. Even made me emotional seeing Cameron go thru the same things I am, processing all those memories.
Dam that was an amazing film! I was on the edge of my seat watching this more than any "blockbuster" film I've seen in the last 10 years. Keep up the great work, legends!
Exploring a new place is most of the fun! Getting groceries out of it is the bonus!! 💪🇺🇸💯🦅
What an incredible trip, for a number of different reasons. Glad you guys made it out safely, to share this film. 🙏
" I'm prepared to die, this is what I do". That's the mentality it takes to be 'Roy tough' what an awesome story, legends!
This is a masterpiece. 🔥 RIP, Mr. Roth. 🫡
Amazing video the message of living your life to the fullest couldn’t have been displayed better. Motivated the hell out of me. Thank you Cam.
Absolutely incredible. Cams thoughts when he's speaking alone touch the deepest darkest parts of the soul.
No joke but much being said here is not true. The plane got you there, engineers made your bows and equipment. You are camping with modern materials crafted by many men and women over decades. You/we have advantage as we have never seen before. Hunters have never seen it so easy.. Of course effort and intelligence is huge and Cameron is a master class in fitness and diligence so never a take away from him. Everyone should read the Louis and Clark adventure from 1804.
A grizzly they killed took over 10 bullets to get put down and these people want to test their luck with a bow 😂
I know what I’m watching tonight instead of survivor.
I cannot like this video enough. Thank you team for sharing this hunt with us. I've been following your journey for a few years now and I remember some of your earlier videos and stories of Roy. Dealing with loss isn't easy and sharing this journey with others helps more than you know. Carry on brother.
Cam, you helped me get sober when I was short on hope brother. Thank you for being the guide I needed. Gave up the Bergera for a matthews and haven’t looked back
Absolutely amazing video and what a fitting tribute to Roy. You know damn well he was watching out for you.
This is a prime example why guides up here hate bowhunters, and the fact that you sat there trying to finish it off with a bow while you got four other dudes behind you in the brush with a wounded bear is total bullshit and egotistical.
Amen! All the modern tech of a modern soldier against an animal chewing on berries! And the bear would have won the battle if not for a rifle backing him up.. senseless violence for false sense of self.
Wonderful piece of film. Thank you Cam for inspiring me to pickup a bow start the journey. It's been a rough handful of years and the time spent figuring out the woods and deer has helped me through it all. I'm not sure I would have ever started without being exposed to your passion for bowhunting.
Cam is so good at expressing himself with words. I think his true nature really shows in the hunts. Just an awesome journey for a viewer. Grateful to have a glimpse into that trip.
Why does cam mention no guns but they have guns the whole time
So, Cam expected those guys to let the bear attack him? I don’t know how you can communicate something like that to a guide lol..
What a glorious film. Thank you so much for sharing it with us all. Your strength and story inspires so many just as Roy inspired you. Thank you so much Sir. Keep Hammering!!
I solo hunt wolves in the dead of night . It’s a different kinda feeling when your laying in the grass listening to the elk eat while waiting for the wolves to attack. I take only my bow and knife. Even 30 to 50 miles out in the unit it feels like not just a desolate place but also another time period from the past. I know the feeling of anticipation to find out am I gonna be the top predator or just a crazy fool. Been lucky I guess cause I’m looking forward to November when the pelts are good and I can roam the nights again. Disclaimer yes, I know night hunting is illegal in most states but here where I live, I get the proper permits from my local fish and game. Epic film my friend. Thank you for sharing.
Ya know ANYONE who’s philosophy is “I’m gonna kill the animal with my bow or it’s gonna kill me” is an idiot that does not appreciate life, their family or any other responsibly placed before him in life! Character and integrity start with life priorities and it’s a fools errand to put bow hunting or anything else before your family! The fact is when you place bow hunting as your religion you’ve already gone down the wrong road sadly!
