"They go from violent to lazy in just a second or two." Sounds like me in my younger days, when I drank. 😆 They are interesting critters. Thanks for sharing the footage from your collab.

That was amazing footage. Never seen them so close. You guys were so lucky to be there. You sounded so happy ☺️ made me happy.

Thanks for sharing these videos with us. Really enjoyed seeing your son growing up in them too. Hope you and your family are well. Blessings on you all. :)

Boy what great memories you and your son can have and keep forever. I can't believe their are so many different kinds of sea birds. And those seals are amazing. U watched a new video of brooke yesterday and today your video. Love love love them. You put out such great videos. Do you get to feed the sea lions? It's nice that you can travel . Stay safe.

Thanks for sharing this was very calming. So quick question after all these years do you still see any after affects from the oil spill?

It is a big treat for me to see these awesome seals again. Thank you so much, Dave & Micky. God bless. 🙏

Thank you for taking me (us) places I will probably never see! This was amazing, peaceful, and I loved the different stages of you and your sons lives! So precious! The Sea lions were soo cute!!

Thank you Dave, for sharing this vid. I felt as though I was sitting right there enjoying the same view. SoOOoo wonderful to share it with your son. Health and God's blessings upon you n' yours!

Another amazing video! Totally enjoyed seeing Mick growing older before my eyes. I just really love the family experiences that you share. You are an amazing videographer, and it sure looks like the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! Thank you for sharing Alaska with me. I have been fascinated by every video I have watched: building, nature, bushcraft, camping trips, Alone, well drilling-- you have a way of presenting your life in such a way that I just want to hear more. Thank you, Dave and Brooke for sharing your beautiful life. God bless.❤️

Hey Dave, good seeing you and your son. Those Sea Lions are awesome! Great footage of them and the scenery. I would love to see them up close like that. Thanks for another great video. Take care and be safe.

Dave that was an awesome video. The footage was great for a first time camera. Glad you and Nick are able to enjoy all of the amazing places that your family gets to go to. I almost felt like I was there with you guys. You have a great voice for story telling. Thanks for sharing all your families amazing adventures. Sending lots of love from VA.

I was watching your cabin building video and saw this video from Valdez! I was visiting my son and his family August 2020 in North Pole and we drove up to Valdez for a couple of days. We got to watch the sea lions at the Solomon Gulch Salmon hatchery! I had a spectacular time in Alaska! Love your videos!

Great footage and commentary Dave ! Brings back memories of living in a tent on hippi hill and working at Sea hawk seafoods 30 + years ago. Lot's of memories in Valdez.

Made me miss Alaska SOOOO much!! Great video, guys

Thanks for sharing!!! Looks like a great bonding experience with the boy. Hopefully ill be blessed to do this myself with my son someday. Take care. =)

As usual a lovely and informative, interesting video! Thank you for filming and sharing. I have never seen sea lions that close.

Father and son awesomeness! You are a great father. Thank you for this, what a beautiful day. These moments with our children create generational ripples.

This brings back memories of scuba diving in the ocean where I had to do my final exercise for my diving certificate. The sea lions would spot us and clap their flippers then swim towards us and turn just in time so we didn't get injured. It was scary at first as I was only 16 at the time. Quite the sight for you and Nick. God bless you Dave and your family.

FANTASTIC! Loved sitting on the big rocks with you both! Great shots! Loved the ending sunset! LIFE IS GOOD!

That's amazing how close you can get. Loved the view, even if it was from a computer screen. Thanks for sharing that Dave.

I started watching you and Brook about a year ago. Thank you for sharing your families wonderful life! My husband and I watch all the time! We like to travel in our RV and Alaska is a bucket list item! Thank you for all the time you spend sharing! What a wonderful window to look through!

Thank you so much for sharing this video with us! We don't get to see live footage like this very much. You have been blessed to be a part of this wonderful experience.

Dave, your videos are always so cool. That Sony can did an amazing job. I loved watching the sea lions gobble up the salmon. Far more entertaining than watching a girl in a canoe fishing, and only catching her dog by the tail! LOL! Sorry Brooke! -Wizzy

Thanks for sharing!! It's great that you have this to share with your son! You Whipple's are such a cool family!

Wonderful video!! I love observing the animals in nature. Thanks for sharing!

Once again, truly awesome!! Dave. Thank you so much for sharing. Appreciate ya. Enjoy your time up there.

Absolutely spectacular. Thanks for sharing this beautiful view!!

Thanks for sharing the footage of these amazing creatures! If they liked gulls, they sure would have their pick!! HAHA. Thanks for t showing us Valdez, Alaska! I'm sure I will never get there, so this was next best! And, so cool that you are teaching your son the joys of making movies!! It may be the beginning of a lifetime of creativity!❤️👏👍

Wow! How cool! You and your son are so lucky to have that time to share together!

Hey, Dave, this was great footage. Hope you will put more up for us. So relaxing to watch these big guys. Always like to see and hear your thoughts and views. Mick has grown to be quite a young man now. How the years fly.

What a great video. I really appreciate you sharing this with us Dave. Thanks eh!

Great video Dave! Thanks for sharing your experience.

So wonderful footage of now and years past Thank you Dave❤️

Amazing video guys, great story telling, informative & entertaining at the same time.

Wow! The size of those sea lions and 🦅 🦅! Lived in AK 4close 2seven years and never saw a sea lion up close & personal. At the Sea Life Center in Seward there were two but not quite the same seeing them through glass. Glad you took ur son with you. Memories are being made! 💯❤️👍

Wonderful Video Dave.Loved watching the sea Lions.Relaxing and Soothing.Keep the great video's coming.

So glad you shared this fabulous footage, great filming, Dave. The sea lions can certainly pack away a lot of salmon! Valdez is a stunning place, the mountains are so majestic, I could sit there and take in that atmosphere for a lifetime and not get bored

Beautiful video Dave, thankyou for sharing it with us. Take care and stay well :)

Wow, thats amazing, I never know this was happening, thanks for filming this. 👍😘

Great video Dave! Those Sea Lions look so peaceful out there! Just chillin at the beach!

Thanks, Bushradical and Nick! I wonder if some of those sea-lions remember you two, it seems like they are trying to say - "hello!' in a loin kind of way! It would not surprise me if they did remember, their lifespan is 20 to 30 years!

Thank you so much for sharing this. Amazing footage.

Great footage there, You guys filmed as good as any documentary I've seen. Thanks for the upload and stay safe and healthy. Blessing from the backwoods of Pa.

Dave, thanks for the video. Do you know why the sea-lions are chomping off the Salmons’ head and discarding the rest? Kinda looks like they are feeding their friends, the birds!

Beautiful scenes of nature at its finest.

So cool! We were at this same place , same view and experience there in Valdez in sept of 2020. Small world…. God bless!

One of the most awesome things I have seen on you tube! Thank you so much for sharing your video of these sea lions.

Thanks for sharing, Dave. This is wonderful.

Peaceful! Loved it. I think one of those big boys had a cut on the side of his face ☹ And in a few shots they seemed to be biting the heads off the Pinks only, do the seagulls get the rest? Thanks for sharing, Dave. Nice to see your boy grow up in these shots. Be well!

So much beautiful wildlife right in front of your face! So awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Amazing sites, amazing sounds! Better than any TV documentary. Well done Dave. Thanks for sharing!

Valdez is just a pleasant drive from my homestead and also one of my favorite spots too. Thanks for your great video.

Thanks for sharing Dave! Love the whipple adventures!

Thank you for sharing this with an old lady from the south. Hopefully I’ll get it to see them one day in the future.

Ahhh...feel like I just went on a little vacation! Thank you for that! ❤️😁

Hey Dave thank you for the video I enjoyed it and your son did a good job filming it

That was some awesome footage and thank you for it ! Stupid question: Is there any evidence of the Exxon Valdez spill anywhere that could be found if wanted to ? Thanks.

Great show to watch as I'm having my lunch! Thanks for putting this out really enjoyed it!

So much fun. Felt like I was there. Thanks for sharing.

Omg, what a majestic place to be! Your Sony camera certainly gave this place the justice it deserved! Memories for you and Nick to last forever😎

Thanks for sharing bc it is so wonderful to be away from all the other stuff...lets you stop and breathe in some fresh air so please keep on sharing!!!

Dave, you and Mick make me smile. I have lived in Fairbanks, Anchorage, Homer, and all points in between. Your video reminds me of what my brother would have done.

Such a beautiful place! Thanks for sharing.

Great content! Thanks for sharing with us.

Very cool, always wondered what Alaska looked like up and personal. Really enjoyed.

Wow ... really glad you decided to post this video :) The mountains in the background are such a cool reminder of just what inspired Bob Ross' work. "Back of Beyond" Beautiful! This is another "keeper" to watch again ... thanks for sharing. Stay safe and God Bless

Lol how cute! They totally scarfed down a bunch of salmon and then were ready to crash! Another great video Dave, and so are Brookes! It was nice to see both of you upload something new this week!!!! Y’all are the best!! God bless!!

Beautiful footage. They are fascinating creatures! Enjoyed listening to you play in the background Dave!

I sooo enjoyed this. Its absolutely beautiful. Thank you!

you have shown me something i will never see, thanks

Awesome footage team, score 👏 having the spear camera in the car. Cheers for sharing Dave 👍

These sea lions made my day! Thanks for sharing!

AWESOME Dave!! I can see how they can bring hours of enjoyment! ✌🐕🐶🐞🖐🍕🍟🍔🍒

Amazing footage. I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.

Cool hanging out with you and those puppies!! 😁😁

Another great video Dave! Thank you!

I’m so glad I found your channel. I’m going to build an outhouse for a dry cabin on my Homer property soon and I’ve got property off the Susitna River that I want to build a cabin on after I retire next year. If you ever make your way down to Homer, stop by the Coast Guard office next to Nomar and say Hi. (I’ll be there until March anyway). I’m also thinking about starting a TRpost channel after retirement. You give a lot of good tips. People seem to really like videos of Alaska.

Awesome video Dave and Mikey!!! I would love to see that up close like you can O C Windsor.

Some real nice footage of these big fellas. They kinda remind me of when the bears come in to feed on the salmon. That sure is a beautiful place. You keep this up you may just talk me into heading up there for a visit.

Love that deep bark from the sea lions.
