This will be one of the first times we’ve featured content from another source, but without a shadow of a doubt, paddling from Alaska to Seattle needs a well deserved spot on The Real Alaska. (You can find a spot on TRA by Contributing) Watch this INCREDIBLE full-length video of a paddling team that embarks [...]
On the fishing grounds, we are lucky enough to see wildlife that most people don’t see throughout their lifetimes. In this video, enjoy nature at her finest. Keep an eye for porpoise, whales, bears, sea lions and lots and lots of salmon of course! Discovery Channel, you’ve got nothing on this! Special thanks to fisherman [...]

You’ve probably seen it on Deadliest Catch. The grocery list is long and the bill is large. Every fisherman’s got to do it when they are heading out to sea or the Alaskan Bush for months at a time. Here is a jazzed up version of me and my sisters grocery shopping before heading off [...]
In the world famous Sitka Herring Fishery, 50 of the most highly experienced fishermen go head to head for their million dollar catches of herring.
