After staying with my brother for 16 days we were back on the move and ready to head to our next destination in Denali National Park!

We start our journey off as we arrive in Haines, Alaska after spending a week in Juneau. Our goal was to take the ferry all the way to the northern part of Alaska, but due to COVID and Canadian Border closures there was an influx of people relying on the ferry to get north. By the time we booked our trip they were booked and as far north we could make it to Haines.

Happy New Year everyone! We’re so excited to see you back here and hope that you had a wonderful holiday! Let’s get into episode three of Lost & Found!

Juneau was our first official stop in Alaska! We’d heard wonderful things about the area and looked forward to a week of stopping in the state capitol.

It’s hard to believe this day has finally come. This is a project that’s been in the works for nearly a year now… Our first episode of our series Lost & Found documenting our travels and the lessons learned from them as we traveled through Alaska this summer.

Hello everyone! MAK here! It’s hard to believe that this is the last episode of our our mini series “Wish You Were Here”! Enjoy the episode!

I hope that everyone has had a great week! We’re back with episode 2 of 3 in our mini series! Here is the episode, enjoy!

Our friends over at Four Wheel Campers asked if we’d be interested taking a test trip in two of their demo rigs. Not ones to pass up such a fun sounding opportunity we immediately turned to our friends Chase and Aimee of Tight Loops and asked if they’d be interest in trading in their Vanagon for two weeks to travel in a FWC!

As our latest series, A Summer Adrift rolled out we got a ton of questions about what video equipment we carry with us to document life on the road so I’m really excited to finally be sharing this with you all! Not only will I be sharing what we use and love, but I also share some things that are now on our wishlist!

Before we get into this final episode, I want to take a moment to thank you all. This series, A Summer Adrift, was the first of hopefully many. We had no idea how this format of video would be received, but we wanted to take the time to record, write, and make something more in-depth than we’ve ever made before as a way to process this turbulent year. At the time that we started putting this series together, we had no idea that it would turn into the biggest creative undertaking each of us had ever been apart of. This is the kind of work that we want to make in the future. It’s fulfilling to be able to go out and live all of this, but it’s something else entirely to reflect on it to make a cohesive storyline out of what this summer has meant to us.

We started this episode with a bang. We were waiting for enough snow to melt off of Teewinot so we could climb it. This mountain is why we were going in and out of Jackson countless times over the summer. For those who are not familiar Teewinot is the peak that stands just to the right of the Grand when viewing the Tetons from Jackson. When we arrived after the Winds we were warmed up and ready and so was the mountain!

After being in Jackson and saying goodbye to Chase and Aimee, we ventured farther south to Pinedale, Wyoming with Peter, Shruthi, and Micah. We came here with plans to head into the backcountry for a four-day backpacking trip.

In Yellowstone, we had a few specific areas and creeks that we wanted to fish. Chase and Aimee know this area well and had an itinerary already in place before we arrived. For our second day in the park, we loaded up with a day worth of gear and hiked into the mountains to spend the day on the water.

After being in Butte we finally started to make our way towards Yellowstone National Park. We’d been looking forward to going as a group since we first got together after leaving quarantine. We were excited to finally be getting so close!

Feeling content with everything we’d accomplished in Idaho, we decided to relocate to Montana. Not moments after crossing into the state, over the radio Peter told us that he thought their van Blitz was having some problems.

Just a day or two after the hike into the Frank Church Wilderness we were ready to head back out on our next adventure! This time we were heading back into the Sawtooths with our sights set on the highest peak in the range!

When we came to Idaho we had already done a lot of research on overnight backpacking trips. We knew that this area is choke-full of them, however, this one as not on our radar.

At the tail end of the previous episode, we celebrated Owen’s birthday with a fancy dinner out on the town. Leading up to his birthday, Owen explicitly said he didn’t want me to get him anything for his birthday. But with every passing day, he was borrowing Chase and Aimee’s spare rod more and I knew that his very own fly rod was the perfect gift.

Three weeks of staying in Jackson meant that we had three weeks of watching the sunrise and sunset over the Tetons. Just about every night we all made our way out to a clearing to watch the sun dip behind the mountains and light up the sky. We came to realize that no two sunsets in Jackson are alike. We were treated to so many unique views that we’re more captivating than the last!

The episode starts out with us arriving in the Jackson, WY area for a few days of camping before heading closer to town and Teton National Park. This is one of our favorite camp spots for the wonderful views and easy access to fishing.
