If you think you’ve got a tough job, it’s very possible that you might quickly change your mind after viewing the insanely exhilarating YouTube video below.

These workers get used to long hours spent working around the clock, rogue waves that make it impossible to stay dry and warm, tight living quarters that put a whole new meaning to ‘cabin fever’ and months on end without seeing family.

Not to mention the many near-death close calls that happen out on the open water. This industry is certainly not for the faint of heart.

If you thought that was exhilarating, only in Alaska will you see something like this happening right in your front yard. That was quite a fight huh? WOW! Not to mention, only in Alaska can you find two fighting bull moose frozen in time.
