Great video as usual gang ❤
When I was a kid our local chemist made Creosote cough mixture. It worked because after mum gave you a dose you dare not cough again otherwise she would would give you more. It was horrible tasting 😂
Yay🎉🎉 I've been waiting on this 2024 calendar!!! I'm so happy that you guys have bought and moved to the new cabin and loving it!
Amazing as usual! Still my favorite You Tubers! Another great video!
Getting one now!
OH hooray! I have been eagerly waiting. Thank you!
My mom is 77 years young. She taught my daughter when she was eight years old what sun dogs were. To this day, my daughter, who just turned 27, will text grandma “SUNDOG” every time she see one. And my daughter gets a thrill out of teaching others to look for them and telling people that they mean a change in weather is coming. A MEMORY SHE WILL ALWAYS HAVE OF GRANDMA ❤️
Thank you young lady. Most of my fondest memories are of my Grandmother.
So sweet! ❤
My kids and I always look for them and are excited every time to find them.
First good snow seems to motivate a bit more? Did the stove draw and heat better after the clean out? Thankz for sharing!
What is a sun dog
@@slowethan1415 it is a rainbow that doesn't touch the ground
I just love when you include the date, sunrise, sunset and temperature information! Your photography is stunning. The season change seems so drastic.
Same! I like to read that info as well!
I know it sounds strange but I had a stroke 1 year ago. God blessed me to almost fully recover. I had no memory of who I was or where I was. The PT set a computer laptop in front of me. I could envision your beautiful site and I typed it in Though she said it took a long time but it worked !! Here I could not remember any thing but I could remember you. I then was able to type in others that I remembered during the coming weeks. You really helped me regain most of my memory. You make a big impact on people's lives.
That is very kind of you and we both wish you well :)
To someone who ve never seen snow and changing seasons like fall , this seem magical
I've seen change many times and it never fails to seem magical (to me).
Yes it is, a transition, but always quite beautiful.
Snow is beautiful but definitely overrated and a hassle after awhile.
Magical is the perfect word to describe Winter. Snow quiets everything, so it's so peaceful. The nights are bright because the snow refracts the light of the moon, and the skies are so clear the stars are amazing. Out here in the countryside, we can look up see the Milky Way. I love it!
@@jaebee9308 wow. that sounds really amazing. I wish I get to experience all at some point. Out here we just have harsh summer and rain , winter is negligible
My goodness, that scenery is breathtaking. You guys are so blessed to be happy in Alaska. Thanks for including us on your journey.
And I watch for the content, not for pictures and scenery… so I get frustrated and fast forward through all of it. 🤷♀️🙂
@@lindashively2530 slow down. The journey is beautiful. Blessings🌏🌎🌍💗
I always look forward to your videos love the scenery and love watching your journey. Thank you for sharing with us.
I miss read your opening line as
My Pokemon !
Im like, yep, there would definatley be lot of Pokemon in Alaska !
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You guys should do an arctic entrance on the deck, keeping the cold wet out on the porch,before going in!! Save the floors -keep the cabin warmer ❤❤ if you have to relocate the stairs to make it work!!
I agree! Good Call👍🏻
It doesn’t matter how big or small your property is, there’s always something that needs doing. Keep warm guys
A retired Fireman gave us a woodstove hint that has saved us so much time and work and possibly a fall off our steep roof: He advised us to throw a large scoop ( we use an old cereal bowl full) of barn lime on top of red hot coals in your stove, about once a week or so. It reacts with the creosote and makes it flake off and our chimney is always clean and we haven't had to brush it in over 40 years. The flakes fall down the chimney and you just periodically clean them out. No brushing, no falls and NO CHIMNEY FIRES. We've never burned pine, which has a lot more creosote but I would think it would work on that as well. It's a very inexpensive safeguard. We love watching you two. You remind us of ourselves when we were younger.
Your production values improves with each episode now. Lots of work; greatly appreciated. Stay warm being cool!
Your photography in this segment is spectacular. It is normally great, but it seems that this time the combination of drone footage and stills are balanced and very artistically put together. Great channel. Love your work.
Yes the colors are beautiful you have done so much this year on your new property I love it! Can't wait to see what you tackle next!!😊
Even small improvements can make a huge difference! Y'all always get so much accomplished in such a short amount of time, kudos to you both!!!🎉❤
Another epic video...from breathtaking landscape shots, to daily life around the cabin, which I find so interesting... this video was super fun to watch...never wanted it to end. Love love love your channel! ❤❤❤
Just a thought guys, you said you plan on supporting the porch overhang, have you thought about a Arctic entrance? You could add one, that would really help support the roof at the same time! You 2 are a hard working team and get a lot accomplished, great job guys. Absolutely beautiful scenery in Alaska and always wanted to see it! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
Just beautiful. Why do I always feel like a kid in a candy store when your new video comes on? ❤
same!!!
Me too and im 70!
Greetings from Denali Park, Alaska! You guys are a HUGE reason why I finally made the decision to move to Alaska this past spring. I'm in love with your videos; from how you both appreciate the simple things in life, to your passion for the wilderness and self-sufficiency. Your channel has taught me to appreciate the beauty in everyday life. I was SO GIDDY when I noticed I was harvesting the same fall goodies (lingonberries, hawks wing, etc) as you both in one of your previous videos.
Great video as always, and happy shoveling!
Been watching your videos off and on the past two years, binging the past three days (retired, resident of the Lower 48, living in Thailand). Watched the entire move process and relocation. We are really impressed with what you two accomplish from laying concrete, to electric, to plumping and construction, use of various power tools - you know no fear. You two are basically what most folk were back in 40's, 50's, etc. when there was NO money for contractors and families got together to build barns, homes, fix cars, etc.
Question: What could possibly have prepared you both for all you do, from bees to chickens, hunting, fishing, and all the home construction, WOW! Thanks for incredibly beautiful vistas.
I absolutely LOVE the reflective/meditative intros you guys have been doing on your videos. Thank you for sharing your beautiful scenery
I love your videos. Love seeing the boys and of course you guys. Eric’s comment about keeping the animals happy is one reason I love you guys so much! So seriously what are our chances of you all posting more often 😂.
Opening drone shots were breathtaking. I work in film & TV and your camera work is better than a lot of drone operators in the business! I bought my calendar and I’m ready for 2024-another reason this year can’t end soon enough.
I stayed up to watch this video! My, my, y’all never ever disappoint. I love the videography at the beginning and I’m captivated throughout. The chickens are thriving and kitty looking outside was so precious. Y’all think of every little detail- from oiling the outside of the cabin, cleaning the oven’s creosote, and managing forestry! You’re amazing. I really appreciate your work ethic and the love you have for our last great frontier. I can’t wait to order the calendar. Every time I look at it I’ll think about your beautiful Alaska adventure. You make Alaska come alive again in my memories and in my heart. Thank you both so much. Sending love and blessings ❤️🙏🏼
Maybe you guys already do this, but I think it'd be wise to keep check lists for the months and seasons that you could refer to so that important things don't get overlooked. I love and look forward to your videos each week. Keep up the good work.
I have a feeling she is extremely organized. They know their seasons and what needs to be done. I've lived in Alaska and it's hard to be lazy and survive.
Loved the washing machine with the ringer. I grew up with it and loved how you could customize the water levels and soap according to type of clothes. Do several rinses as needed. Wring out clothes folded then hang to dry. Even before perma press clothes they came out pretty wrinkle free and easy to fold. It was very satisfying. Todays units are efficient but impersonal. I enjoy watching your program and admire your creativity, tenacity and sense of adventure and humour.
I loved that too.
My Nan had one ❤️
The drone photography in your opening segment was gorgeous. The wild geese on the pond also beautiful. I love your photographic selections. The cabin looks really nice with fresh oil.
I live in Texas but have ties to Alaska through some family friends that lived there. I spent 2 weeks there as a young man and loved it. I think your forestry management is fantastic, some people do not understand it and do not realize how healthy and beautiful you can make your forest. Arielle, I have commented before, your photography and cinematography are amazing! I love your channel and watching you homestead! Keep up the good work!
Cleaning up the woods around your place is always a good use of time. It can mean the difference between surviving fire season or being a victim of it.
How you guys are able to get calendars, videography, etc.,done and still film your daily adventures just blows my mind! Thank you so much! Watching the opening scenes brings down my stress level so quickly! So peaceful, so stunning! I never knew those little rainbow spots were called sun dogs! I have a new wrinkle in my brain! Love this channel! (Hint, hint, how about a coffee table book of your photographs?)
That would be a dream!! I don't know if I could make time for that 😄
I’d buy one!
That's very so cool to have!!😊
Great filming!
My house barely survived a creosote fire in a chimney. It is a very frightening experience. The chimney started to make the weirdest whoop whoop sounds as if it was breathing…and glowed red in spots. After that, the annual chimney sweeping was never forgotten!
It might be good to put an airlock on the cabin and the coop to keep some of the heat in when you open the front doors. I also watched some videos from nordic countries where they use that little room for other things like storing certain foods in the winter. Your place is charming and I love watching the seasons transition.
I love your calendars!! They make great Christmas gifts, everyone. Your photographs are stunning. Thank you for taking the time to create this gorgeous collection of Alaska for everyone. 🥰
Amazing photography, great accomplishments & happy animals that are settled right in! Thanks for sharing! Blessings to everyone 🤗💕🇨🇦
It's a good time of year to clean-up the woods....no bugs! 😅 Always nice to tag along with all your projects.
If you have a wood chipper you can use the chips for the chicken coop, then to mulch the garden. Of course a few more steps than just throwing on the burn pile, but so good for the garden to feed the soil and keep the weeds under control. So much work completed this week!
I came across your channel shortly after you guys started your alaskan adventures. Since then, I've always been amazed by the views you've shared, the adventures you've taken, and the growth you've shared.
That’s exactly what I’ve come to: I’ve been backtracking…I’m so impresses by all the things I’ve learned…all the stuff they have learned & shared.
A beautiful piece of work - your faming of shots and editing is so good now. Loved the simple fire time lapse work! You both put in so much effort, and I just want to say I appreciate your art!
Thank you very much!
I love watching you guys. I’ve always wanted to go travel to Alaska.
L♡ve the drone, nature footage and background music.... I could watch for hours... it's its own kind of meditation 🧘♀️ ❤😌
I love tuning into your channel each fall / winter and seeing all of your improvements year over year. You guys put out really great content that is a joy to watch!
The scenery is absolutely gorgeous.....God's artwork at his finiest!!!!
always love when a new video is posted. you truly relax my hectic life when i watch your videos. blood pressure totally goes down and so inspired by the lifestyle.
Hello you two,what a beautiful place you got,very well rigged up for the winter,animals well taken cared of.All set for winter.That grate Eric installed is awesome.Have a great and safe day .Greetings from Canada
I had to laugh about the cat looking out the cat door. I couldn't see it's face but the position of it's ears showed that he wasn't to thrilled about that white stuff! I always look forward to your videos. Thank you for sharing your adventures and life with me. (everyone)
Alaska is truly beautiful and you guys show it off so well !!
That aerial shot of your compound really showed how much you've developed the place. Happy to see you getting all snug for the winter.
Just a home in the beautiful wilderness. I think when people say "compound" takes away some of the beauty.
@@ryaneschweiler5179 i don't
@@ryaneschweiler5179I don't personally feel that the word compound is negative. To me, it means a place that is off-grid, self-contained and self-sufficient, with different buildings.
I,m so glad to see you have so many long time followers and all appreciate the time you take to let us share in your activities,I am 91 Now and still mobile but a virtual shut in. I look forward to your videos.
There was something so satisfying about watching the clothes being washed & put through the wringer!!! Well, actually it was all satisfying. Y'all are amazing. 🤩
The grit foot mat is genius ideal, thank you guys for sharing your lifestyle in Alaska, you guys are awesome, always enjoying watching vlogs.
My husband and I are in Fairbanks right now for our honeymoon and we're absolutely loving it! Such an amazing state with so many beautiful places!
Very beautiful scenery 😊😊😊😊
It's like visiting old friends
I'm in awe of you two guys. I so admire your hard work to achieve the life you love to live. Love from a 77 years old man from Cornwall England ❤
You should pour a small concrete pad for a laundry station. You could hang the clothes line over the pad to keep everything out of the mud, and make it large enough for the hoses and the washer etc. ❤
Absolutely stunning photography. I love watching your channel.
Whoo Hoo! Ordered your calendar! We love these! Thanks for sharing a bit of your lives with us all! You and your pet menagerie are the best!!!!!! Stay warm!
Thank You for sharing your piece of Alaska with us . We are so blessed to have you making this great content
I live in Wisconsin and was glad to hear you had the calendar made there. Love the front cover. Looks like you'll be ready for the winter. It came fast up there. We have 50's and 60's here daytime and 40's and 30's at night. There's already been a hard freeze in northern Wisconsin, but not in my area, near Green Bay along the shores of Lake Michigan. The Lake keeps us (somewhat) warm in winter, cool in summer. Always enjoy your videos and how you both make the most of the land foraging, hunting and using the bountiful wood supply that the land provides. It's a joy to see you working together. Take care.
I loved watching the fire. Being able to clean the forest on our land and have the burn piles is the biggest thing I miss since coming off the "hill". There is such a caring feeling and so serene. Great memories. You two got a lot done. Your place is really coming together.
I half expected to see a fox, bear, moose all sitting quietly in that Timelapse of the burn pile. Enjoying the fire like the rest of us.
Perfect job with the episode.
I hope you guys are proud of your accomplishments. Even in this sort of time at the new place. You make things look so much easier than they are. I love watching your videos. It takes me to places I wouldn't get to see otherwise. You make such a great team. Cheers
This video brought back all my memories of living in Two Rivers for 22 years. I'm actually tearing up, I miss it so much. (In Oregon now.) You guys are amazing! It is country for young people though. Old folks like me would have a hard time. I love the part with your cat sitting at the flap, dismayed at the snow. 😂 Stay warm and safe, you two. Deffo going to check out the calendar! ❤
You two are amazing! My favorite UA-camrs by far!!
The homestead is beautiful from the air. You have done sooo much!
I love to see you, Eric, using the Branson (your favorite toy). It's amazing how skillful you have become in a very short time!
What a team you two are!
Thank you for the wonderful videos. I feel like I am there with you! Love you both!❤️
Awesome episode as always! Michigan's cold weather is creeping in slowly. Thanks for sharing!
Don't batteries off gas
Always great to see what you’re up to and understand the prep work involved for the change of season. Thanks for sharing the good life in Alaska.
What a joyful experience watching you guys get ready for winter! Our winters couldn't be more different here in Texas, it's a new growing season for us but I sure enjoy watching your adventures.
Happy Winter season!
As always, stunning photography and videography.
Love from Maryland,
Jeanne
Another beautiful video from my favorite couple. Thank You for making my evening special.
I really like how you did time lapse photography on the burning debris. It's amazing how that fire really consumed those logs, etc. Tres Cool!
You guys rock, always a joy to watch you both work together to make your Alaskan dreams reality. Stay warm, looking forward to the next video .
Excited to see that your new calendar is out. For the last couple of years, I have put the calendar in my office in the rehab hospital that I work at in northern Ontario, Canada. As an Occupational therapist, I see lots of clients/patients that see your calendar and always comment how beautiful the pictures are. Thanks for sharing.
What a GREAT Job you guys have done!! Love the quick “fixes” with the grate and primitive cat box under the deck!! Nice Work!!!
What a wonderful, peaceful home for the two of you 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you guy's for another excellent video.
Everything goes to fast. Being outdoors all day, is my idea of a great day. Love the calendar. Be safe and love life.❤
These videos are just the best. Truly professional level of production and the mix of Alaskan landscapes with day to day life is perfect
Thank you guys for another beautiful and interesting video! I've been following you for a few years, or maybe for more than a few years now and I'm amazed how much you manage to get done in Alaska. I'm from Sweden, so I'm used to snow, and I think it's beautiful! ❄☃ I can't wait for your next video! 🌞😊✨ Keep warm and take care!
You two have done so much work on your new place. The place looks really awesome.
Am so looking forward to seeing the garden coming on, seeing you both making your mark. Cant wait! Stay are, God bless x
I live vicariously through you guys. I absolutely adore you ❤. Hope you have a beautiful winter ❄️ in your new digs.
Home sick in bed and your comfy videos are just what I need
I love how the cabin looks in the snow so traditional, I’m sure all your amazing hard work will pay off in the winter ❤
You guys always have the most amazing photos of nature. Thanks for sharing them :)
1st snow amazing!!! stay warm guys
I want you guys to know that I love your channel. I love watching you guys because I love all the scenery and most of all, all the efforts you guys are putting in for a sustainable living. And you guys work together so well. Please be safe put there and keep doing what you are doing.
Have a safe and peaceful winter both of you!!! I really enjoy your videos! Stay safe!!
THIS! This is what I've been waiting for 😂😂 Finally a beautiful snowfall at the new cabin! Good luck this winter. I hope you and all the critters stay warm and have loads of fun this season! Thank you for taking us along on the journey ❤ I look forward to it every time! Much love from cold, rainy Eastern Kentucky 😂❤
There's just so many hours in a day to try and get everything done. You guys really capitalize on what time you have. The winter(ish) drone footage🛰 is spectacular👍🏻All the best to you Eric & Arielle .... take care 🚜🌲🔥🪵🔥🪵🔥🏡✌🏻
It always makes me so happy to see how much you care for Bo, Bandit, Pepper & even the chickens. Your first concern has always been for their well being. I grew up in CO, but now live in OK & your videos remind me of the home I miss so much in CO. I especially miss the snow, so thank you for sharing your life & home, it touches my heart & soul. 💜🤗
Can't think of a better way to enjoy my first cup of Coffee.
The scenery is beautiful.
Thanks for sharing.
Always beautiful and extraordinary scenery!
Ariel and Eric, we both love watching your channel and see how you all progress in Alaska. Much love from California.
Beautiful. I'm sure Pepper thanks you for her box- we as always love seeing her! The year has flown by and it's not quite done yet! I'm glad you guys got several smaller projects done- those can sometimes be the hardest ones. I hope plenty of people buy your calendars and as always thank you for the video.
I'm so very proud of your accomplishments this summer you are an amazing team!! ❤😊
Woo hoo! Happy Winter!! ❄️
Hello!! Good to see you 😄! Beautiful country!❤
That grate you installed in front of front door to catch dirt and snow from boots is brilliant! And absolutely yes, those little improvements to the box that protects the generator that you showed us, the hinges, the little open space to protect the cords....I absolutely understand when you’re working around the house, trying to make your home give back to you and to make it strong and wholesome, those little things make it home and make life much more enjoyable for your work and love is in it. God bless you both and be safe
I just purchased your calendar and can’t wait to see the photos inside! I still love having an old fashion calendar in my office to write reminders on. Being able to see your beautiful Alaskan flora and fauna is a huge plus!
Your coop and run are so awesome! I do worry about the condensation, that will cause problems for them when it gets really cold. Ventilation at the peak of the roof will help to mitigate that. You guys are inspirational!
Those bantam roosters can really cut you up bad with their spurs.
Your aerial footage is breathtaking 😮
I love those slightly yellow/chartreuse trees just in front of the forest of darker trees. What a beautiful backdrop :). You guys have sure caught up on the tasks. So inspiring! Also I just got my calendar! I just love the photos and we enjoy them all year!
Ordered a calendar, excited to see the pictures. Thanks for sharing, you two are awesome to watch. Always look forward to your videos and I love your new place. Take care and stay warm
❤✌
