subsistance salmon fishing in Alaska
A little tour of what we do to fill our feezers with the best salmon in the world preparing for a long winter
Where in the heck is Girdwood? And why would we go there?
We left Homer, heading north, unsure of our destination. We knew we were going to stop in Girdwood for a hike and Anchorage for groceries. We still hadn't decided if we were going to head back south toward Valdez first or just start our descent back down out of Alaska.
Our first stop was Girdwood. We had heard about an easy hike that had a hand tram over a river. This sounded cool, so we headed that way. Doug and Emmett stayed behind in the RV, which was a good choice because it was a muddy, slippery trail. It was raining and we got wet. As we approached the hand tram there were a bunch of people with lots of camera equipment. We asked the first what they were doing and she said, making a film. I guess we had already figured that one out. The second person we asked a more direct question, What is your film about? He thought he had a pretty good sense of humor and said Mayonnaise. We finally asked a third and he said it was a UCLA college thesis project. Anyway, there were a bunch of people and they pulled us across the hand tram, which was nice because it was a long way and it's heavy to pull. It was awesome, well worth the hike in the rain.
We were still debating on whether or not to go the extra 120 miles to check out Valdez. We took a vote and it was 50/50. The weather wasn't looking good, cold and rainy. We searched on the internet to see what we'd be missing. Besides checking out a new place and the beach the thing the kids would like the most would be the fish hatchery. The salmon are spawning and heading upstream back to the hatchery to lay their eggs. And since there are so many salmon there are also seals looking for a meal. This would be cool to see but with the not so great gas mileage we get in the RV, it would cost us about an extra $150 in gas, plus 2 days of driving. We've seen a lot of seals and salmon and hatcheries, so we decided a better option would be to spend a couple days in the Largest National Park.
So we headed to Anchorage on our way to Wrangell St. Elias. In the travel magazines the kids saw an Ulu factory tour. It was more of a gift shop, but they did get to see how the Ulu knives are made. We also took a trolley to the federal building where they were able to get a couple more Jr. Ranger badges and do a scavenger hunt. Then we headed to Costco and filled the fridge and cupboards and had some pizza for lunch. And drove some more before ending our day with a delicious salmon dinner in the Winnebago in the parking lot of Wasilla Walmart.
Next stop, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park.

If you weren’t sick of me and my really annoying commentary on my Japan vlog, here’s one for Alaska! I am still very annoying but hopefully the amazing scenery will distract from that. My video skills are still very much poor but Alaska is one of the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. So…sit back, relax and live vicariously through my wonderful iPhone 6 lens :-)

Portage Glacier - ALASKA
Portage Pass Trail, July 2019.
Portage Glacier sits 10 stories high and miles long at the end of Portage Lake. It’s a short but hugely rewarding hike with salmon berries to eat along the trail. It is accessed from the ghostly town of Whittier which was used as a base by the US army during WWII. Unless arriving by boat or light aircraft there is only a one-way tunnel in for trains and cars!

Alaska Summer Hiking Adventures - Lake Clark, Denali, Talkeetnas
I recently took an epic summer trip to Alaska. We hiked through some of the most beautiful parks and mountains in the state, including Lake Clark National Park, Denali State Park and the Talkeetna Mountain Range. Here is a little video I put together of my adventure. This trip was in partnership with Nature Valley.
Berries, bears & the weather. [Life in Alaska Vlog #6]
Alaska's weather is rather unusual this summer and our raspberries are ripe 3 weeks early. This gives us a great opportunity to pick berries and talk about the weather. We will also talk about the 2016 Alaska salmon runs, because they have been off this year.
Then we are sharing some old footage of a sow black bear and her cub in our raspberry patch.
