CAMPING at an ABANDONED Alaskan GOLD MINE | Will the Kids Brave the Mine?

In this episode, we venture deep into Hatcher Pass for an unforgettable Alaska overlanding adventure! 🏞️ We kick things off by discovering the perfect blueberry picking spot before heading further into the rugged backcountry near Craggy Creek Mine. After setting up camp, we stumble upon a 100-year-old abandoned gold mine—are the kids brave enough to explore inside? 🤔 For dinner, we cook up delicious traditional salmon filets on the stove, but with temps dipping into the low 40s, the real question is: will the kids stay warm? 🥶 Come along for the ride as we truck camp, explore, and create unforgettable family memories in the heart of Alaska! *** Help SUPPORT our channel with BUY ME A COFFEE https://www.buymeacoffee.com/bagspackedfamily ⛺️ Gear » Overlanding Tent (Promo Code BPF for 10% off): https://topoakoverland.com » Fire Starter: https://amzn.to/4ebfqeO » HotHands Hand Warmers: https://amzn.to/4gMu127 » Masterbuilt Smoker: https://amzn.to/3MMnLtl » Ceramic Frying Pan: https://amzn.to/4cWTDXE » UV Water Purifier: https://amzn.to/3ynU668 » Camping Stove: https://amzn.to/4d0gh1o » Jetboil: https://amzn.to/4dlSKrv » Propane Cylinders: https://amzn.to/3A2t5FW » Coffee Mugs: https://amzn.to/4cWTjIq » Silicone Utensils: https://amzn.to/3WdJzSI » 5-Gallon Water Container: https://amzn.to/4bXH7FT » Flexible Cutting Boards: https://amzn.to/3SqXcgl » REDMOND Salt: https://amzn.to/3LFSNCp » Foam Sleeping Pad: https://amzn.to/4duXXNs 🏕️ Camping Games » Cedar's Unicorn MeeMeows: https://amzn.to/3LZudfV » Granite's Kindle: https://amzn.to/3LQ0Ix7 » Spot It!
