Shipyard Life Meets Wild Alaska | Hunting for Dinner

When the freezer runs dry and the rain keeps falling in the Wrangell shipyard, sometimes the wild provides exactly what you need. In this episode, Scott and Audrey of Alaskan Gypsy Life take a break from boat work and head into the backroads of Wrangell, Alaska hoping to fill the freezer. The first couple of evenings are spent hunting after long days in the shipyard, short trips with little daylight. By Day 3, we’re out of meat and feeling the urgency. With more time and early morning light, we hike deeper into the mossy forest of Southeast Alaska, hopeful to bring home dinner. From the steep climb and unpredictable terrain to the moment of harvest and gratitude, this story captures the raw heart of sustenance, respect, and Alaskan living. 🦌 Filmed in Wrangell, Alaska 🎥 A look into off-grid life, wild food, and the rhythm of survival. 💬 Subscribe for more: life aboard the Alaskan Gypsy, boat refit updates, hunting, fishing, and stories from coastal Alaska.
