We Took Our Jet Boat to a Glacier in Alaska

- In our short time in Alaska we have been fortunate to visit several glaciers but today's jet boat trip to Knik Glacier was by far the most memorable. We cook up savory salmon rolls in the dutch oven while enjoying the beautiful Alaskan backdrop.
We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀
Thank you for watching and supporting our channel! 💙

As I'm sitting at my kitchen table in southern Ohio, watching this, I am shaking my head in complete awe of your incredible life choices and experiences. You are living an absolutely amazing, substantive reality!!! The scenery is so expansive and other worldly. I am 63 with a lifetime of building skills, carpentry, log building, woodworking/furniture making, plumbing, electric, roofing, running equipment, saw milling, on and on. Would you please consider adopting me? I won't be any trouble at all. I can sleep on the floor with the dogs. Just a wonderful video.
@@donaldmiller8629 That would be fine too!
If you have those skills you will do well up here. Guaranteed.
I moved up here 23 years ago from the midwest and it was difficult but I've never regretted it for one single second.
I already told em I'd be willing to live in the chicken coop. But I haven't heard back yet...

Bo sightings:
1:13 - this water’s cold
2:47 - I’m so excited
3:13 - loving the breeze
3:38 - how do you like my monkey sweater?
4:13 - I could have done that
4:36 - meh, get me a better one - Bandit can have this one
5:33 - Ready, mom!
6:58 - where are we?
10:49 - can I get a lift again?
11:49 - hi
12:24 - wait up dad
13:00 - what’s cookin’?
14:24 - I like apples and hanging out near the food
15:15 - hi, just want to make sure I’m in the video
18:01 - are we in the desert?
19:46 - scritches
22:42 - let’s gooooo!
23:30 - hi
23:40 - I’m soaking wet now, too
Very well said! 🤣
Very important info!
I’m pretty sure 12:24 is “This cold! This cold!”
Oh my gosh I just love that boy and his monkey sweater💕
This is work of love for Bo…
The ice is called “the fingers of death”. It’s made when the salt from the sea hits the fresh water and super freezes it in long shards. When the glacier breaks it’s called calving.
Merci pour l'information. Thank you for the information.
There is no salt water that far up the river. It's a good 20-30 miles from nearest salt water.
This was like watching a National Geographic documentary! The drone bit at the end....you were just tiny little figures in that great expanse of ice and snow....poetic....I have no words. Love to you both from New Hampshire. Suzi
Hey, fellow Granite Stater!
I really like Eric's constant appreciation of everything around
They're both always so appreciative and in awe of everything in life, even their cups of coffee. It's so cute to watch.
@@PureLace There is beauty in everything, being able to be present and in the moment to see it leads to a life well lived.
these guys should get paid by tourism Alaska just sayin
I have almost words....this was the most outstanding video that I've ever seen along with the music and the drone shots and the feeling I got watching this video. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I so love you guys. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Haven't watched video yet, and you may not like this, but for people like me, you're a breath of fresh air. I lived that life. Trapping, hunting, fishing, logging. 22 years in Alaska. But life has a way to change your course.
You need a CZcams channel
Doesn't it though!
Yes it does... I came up here in 96 lived in the bush, ran dogs, etc... after an injury I have been unable to to many of the things I loved to do. My advise to them enjoy your youth...
Can’t take those memories tho!
David!!!!!! DAVID!! Perfect/i miss you
I know that feeling when you're on a adventure but don't feel 100% safe but are proud of yourself after doing it and are happy you made it out alive! Beautiful glacier water ! Thank you for taking us on another awesome adventure ❤️🏔
How's the composting outhouse working out?
What an adventure, and tasting a glacier, now that's EPIC! Do yourselves a favor, invest in a pushpole and paddle for the boat. You can secure them out of the way along the gunwal. After years of guiding, I wouldn't leave the landing without these items. As handy as Eric is, you could probably make one 😉 but the telescopic aluminum ones are much easier to store away in the boat.
I LOVE how the food is always one of Eric's favourites. I know people suggest a cookbook all of the time and I have heard you reply that you don't usually follow recipes and use weird ingredients. I honesty think that if you just wrote down approximately what you use, include the weird ingredients that we would be unlikely to have, we would all buy it anyway. If for nothing else than to support you and to enjoy the awesome pictures that you would include!!!!
Maybe include some rough recipes in your calendar?
I'm in my fifties and I haven't met many couples who communicate as well as you two. Kuddos to you! You are *perfect* for each other! It is a pleasure viewing your videos. Thanks for inviting us in! 🥰
I’m getting close to 70, and may never get to cross Alaska off my bucket list.
So….
Thanks for taking me on your journies! Your photography is absolutely awesome. Keep on getting home safe as you keep on going!!
I grew up on Tampa Bay, FL. They're living my life, 180 degrees opposite. Lol. As always all the best to everyone. Chef Scott 👨🍳
Well, my opinion of the scariest adventure was the salmon fishing on that incredibly steep bank with a super-fast river; the best was the blue glacier which simply took my breath away.
Watching them fish on the Copper River was a real nail-biter for me too. But I still hope they do it again because it's one of my favorite videos. 😅
I agree about the Copper River. Terrifying. And they were so tired too, while fishing. It's easy to make mistakes when you're tired.
The boat ride really shows up the dogs differing personalities! Bandit always takes point and Bo takes a nap!! 😍😍
This video was fabulous y’all take us places that we can only dream of. Thank y’all so much for sharing your wonderful adventures with us. Y’all ROCK! Love 💕 y’all!
Another epic adventure. Thanks for taking us along to see the Knik Glacier. You two always come up with the best adventures!! I'm always looking forward to your next video!
If I didn’t know the backstory, watching this video, I would assume it was a professional production. Excellent work. Just beautiful.
Even knowing you guys were safe and sound when I saw this, my heart was in my mouth. I just wanted you out of there, but what a beautiful sight to see-the water and the ice from the glaciers. WOW is all I can say. Hope your warranty is still good on the boat, and they fix your reverse. Please stay safe and God bless you two. Thanks so much for sharing.
Only you two are crazy enough to boat this river! When you are the only ones on the river...there is a reason. Well done. I was holding my breath the whole way!
That was a giant river compared to what we run down south
My jet is a 300 v8 outboard on a 20 ft aluminum southfork and it will go through 1.5 inches of water
Absolutely amazing and gorgeous video! Thank you a million for sharing your adventures with us. Always a joy to experience your videos. Already impatiently waiting for the other video 🙂.
Much love from the Caribbean in Trinidad 🇹🇹
I'm living vicariously through you two on these adventures. 👍👍
I just realized how much I am addicted to your weekly coverage of "Simple Living Alaska" in a very positive meaning. It is surprisingly very informative, person can actually learn something watching your channel. Thanks, please don't stop! :)
I feel the same way!
OMG I so enjoy going on virtual adventures with you two!!!!
Who was waiting for Eric to say “Oh my Gosh” when he tasted that piece of glazier?? I just loved every part of this video! Absolutely gorgeous!!
“Left or right? left or right?… so we went left…that wasn’t right!” 😂 well said! Thank you for the awesome video wow absolutely breathtaking footage and I’m glad y’all got back home safe and sound! ✌️
This looks like such an awesome adventure! Time for Eric to get some new waterproof boots.✌🏼
@Buckwheat Hikes and more snacks!😅
Eric: "You didn't want anymore, right?"
Arielle:
I’m originally from Argentina, and this reminds me of the breathtaking glaciers we have in Patagonia. Loved it. I could almost feel that fresh cold air off glaciers, and how fun to take your boat in those waters. Scary! Keep on trying scary things!
Daphne nice one
This was awesome! The views, the music, the drone footage, everything…the excitement & adrenaline rush were palatable. I’ve only felt that a couple times in my life, where you’re so awe-struck/excited/scared that you forget to exhale. Fantastic!!!
Breath taking! What a great adventure. Thanks for sharing.
You could be eating ice that is millions of years old. Awesome.
That was spectacular!! Your music choices to go along with whatever was going on at the time in the video were epic. Thanks for showing us so much good stuff in Alaska.
Bless Bo's little heart. He tries so hard to keep up with the adventures. I hope you never leave him out. ❤
Amazing adventure. Looks like so much fun.
Ariel using drone controls... cut to picture of plane flying...Cal says to his wife, "Wait - how big IS their drone?..." Much laughter here in Michigan. Thanks for another great adventure!!!
Can't say anything other than AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL, WOW, WOW, WOW!!
WOW!! The mountains and glaciers are so beautiful, and that water is just amazing(the color)! Glad you made it safe and sound. If I could send you some more sunshine from southern Arizona I sure would, I'd love to have some of your clouds and rain! It's 100 degrees here today,and was 104 yesterday.😬 Love you guys! Keep on keepin' on🤙
Patti, that's lovely 😍

Looks like a great adventure! I love watching you guys, keep it up :)))
Yep True Alaskans now. "Summer is all most Here" and two foot of Snow in the background !
As always, thank you for sharing your life and Alaska with us. So beautiful
Absolutely gorgeous! Love the color of the water. Bandit gets so excited about water ❤️. You guys work so hard to live there. It’s nice when you’re able to get out and have a day trip. Take care and God bless y’all.
Now that was an incredible adventure, those views are spectacular! Ariel you capture such beautiful drone footage, makes me feel like I'm there. Great job
Wow. Stunning.
Thanks for taking us along. Awesome.
What an AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL, AWESOME ADVENTURE!!!💯💯💯 Of course your cinematography was EXCELLENT as always!!!👍👍👍 Much Love from FL 💖💞🌴💖💞🌴💖💞🌴
My mouth is watering hearing about those salmon rolls! I’d love to see a video of you making them Arielle.
AND Bandit! He looks like he’s having his own little adventure out there. Another amazing video!!!
Too cool! Love watching you two, I love Alaska!
Absolutely amazing! What an adventure. Thank you for sharing 💐💙🐕🐕🙏
Wow! Such a beautiful & remote place, that most of us might never get to see - thank you for sharing the beauty of Mother Nature. Those drone shots at the end were amazing!
Thank You for letting us join. I'll never be able to see the real deal but I feel like I've been on a real tour. You guys are awesome. The meal looked amazing and tasty 😋.

so beautiful Tx for taking us on this adventure
Thanks for the glacier experience - simply beautiful .
The production and editing quality of all the footage is incredible! Definitely raises the channel to another level.
WOW! Definitely one of your best video!
The views are indescribably beautiful, its like being on another planet!
Your videos are very professional quality.
I was holding my breath while you were traveling on the river.
Great job Captain Eric!
No encounter with bears?🙁
Your boys are such a joy to watch! 🤗
Absolutely beautiful and exciting!!! Thank you for sharing your adventure!!!
I think this was one of my favorite videos! Those salmon rolls looked amazing and I'm like Ariel, I want to climb everything for that view. Great shots, really great editing and super good reminders that there is a real challenge to these adventures and they can be very scary. But worth it.
That was an EPIC trip! I don't know if it was the camera setting but the view was like being right there with you. The beauty of your surroundings was majestic. Arielle was right, in that moment, you couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you for taking us along for the ride. Also, you guys even upped picnic food to gourmet over the coals. (Though I expected that.😊) --Jessica from Florida 🌞
That looked fantastic. God those rivers well done! Thank you for bringing us along.
Thanks for taking us along. So beautiful!
18:45 - So cool! I wonder if that fragmentation is due to the pressure the ice was under in the glacier. It reminds me of basalt columns which form hexagonal pillars when the magma cools and solidifies under intense pressures.
Glaciologist here! This is a great example of candle ice. Candle ice can form on lakes like this one during the melt season and is indicative of ice that has begun to "rot". The columnar shape results from the hexagonal structure of ice crystals which are weakest at the edges. This allows for sun and water to melt the ice perpendicular to the surface along these borders resulting in ice "candles".
No, it's just Candled Ice. Sometimes people call it Needle Ice. We get that on our lake too. It's pretty cool. Actually, this spring our hockey rink on the back yard turned into that as well, it's pretty fun to play with.
I never got a chance while in Alaska to visit a glacier. They were so far south of where I was. I've heard they are beautiful. The blue aspect is because the ice is dead or in other words contains no oxygen which creates a blue color. I find it so interesting how all that works and happened over thousands and thousands of years.
What a fantastic trip! Thank you for bringing us along. Love you guys.
Absolutely amazing.
"we went left, that wasnt right". the truest words ive ever heard in my life
I love how your dogs are so loved and they know it. You are wonderful with them! Love you guys!
