Once I found your channel I have not stopped watching. I dont understand how you dont have at least 1 million people subscribed. Please dont stop sharing your adventures!
Claudia Olaso thank you for joining us!
Claudia Olaso , I feel same way!! A friend has grown kids now moving to Alaska, so I did a search , to learn more about life there, and these videos popped up, and I CAN'T stop watching them!! I have watched MOST that are posted on you tube so far, and LOVE ALL OF THEM!! They are so self sufficient, and seem to have every piece of equipment and tools for every eventuality! Amazing to me! They seem to accomplish every task with minimal issues! Love these two people!
One of my absolute favorite channels.
Root cellar for sure! A tip here about the orchard. What I did, one year before planting the fruit trees was to prepare the soil. I dug a deep hole, filled it with rotted pieces of wood, ash, manure, and green cut weeds. Build to a mound, let ferment through the rest of the summer, let the winter frost swale it out, then plant in spring. My trees are doing very well, they established quickly and started producing. Encourage veg growth for the first two, three years, then prune to ladder height. Flushes will start from year four. Patience is key here.
Good advice.
Fan Stanner great idea, thank you ☺
Your dinner makes me cry. You eat so well from your garden. I was curious if you plan on keeping seeds from what you grow to be even more self reliant. I know nothing about gardening and I find your channel so addicting and amazing. My favorite channel.
Kathryn Lassila thank you 😁 we are starting to work towards saving seeds, I am in the process of using older hybrid seeds so we can grow only open pollinated in the future. We did save some from this year's plantings.
What an amazing place. Alaska is literally everything I imagined and more. Thank you for showing us the real side, not just the tourist stuff lol. It's also a pleasure to watch a couple who work so well together in all aspects. As the kids say, you guys are " relationship goals" ;) Oh, and you guys are killing it with each new video! They just keep getting better, and I think you have the style nailed down perfect. It's no wonder your channel is growing so quickly.
Tater79bj thank you for the encouragement ☺ We are definitely finding Alaska is an incredible place! We always appreciate your comments and following along our channel.
Your dogs love eating lol.i get so emotional when watching your blog.i live on my own and I so love your union and love u have for everything.
Rental cabin seems like a potentially great idea, I have a feeling you have already a large interested customer base in your channel audience alone!
All that Birch Bark bagged up will make lighting your fires very easy even if the wood is wet.
You are great cooks always enjoy watching the stuff you cook.
I really enjoy your videos, Id rather watching then than watching HBO or NEtflix, when a see you I go back to whats natural and waht nature is all about. It refrheses me from living in a crowded contaminated city. God bless you so much !!
When my family and I lived in an area with mosquito's part of the year hat's with mosquito netting around them were a God send!
Love the videos. Keep them coming. I also love Bandit. Hes my spirit animal. 💖
Big happy dog does alot of supervising!!!
Cheers from Arkansas!!
Wow the second property was beautiful, the footage was beautiful, the wood chopping plans are beautiful, the salmon was definitely looking delicious and the top secret build project is definitely a project. Lol.
I stumbled across your show a week ago and I have not been able to turn it off!! I love how you two live your life!! Please don’t stop sharing 😁👍🏻🐝
Nice Birch trees there. Tap them for syrup in the spring.
@@darbabylovesprince 4:00 yeap. Only one kind of tree in that forest.
You 2 are so inspirational! I love the energy, motivation, planning ahead! Kudos! Love watching your videos. I look for each one, thank you
Still going through all the videos from old to new, but just have to mention it's amazing all the food you grow/hunt for yourselves, and watching all these is addicting!
I'm going to feel that Old fashioned ice House
Get a rooster tail for your chain saw. Its just a long plastic rod you attach to the back of the saw. They are like 5 bucks. Then, you will no longer need your tape measure. Measure from the tip of the rooster tail to the tip of your chainsaw blade. Should be 4 feet. Then you place the saw on the log, eyeball where the tip is and then put the tip of the rooster tail there and now you can measure out exactly 8, 12 or 16 feet fairly accurately.
I jus found you and I can’t stop watching!!
It always looks like so much wood, then remember you have long cold winters. I kind of thing you will be putting in a root cellar also.
The salmon and wilted veggies looked great, fits in with my Keto Healthy eats.
You Two are amazing.And i think it is a Root cellar so smart.
I know it's a root cellar, because that was the first video I saw. Your garden is magnificent. Enjoy
O.K. quick funny story. I'm listening to this video with headphones on. And I kept hearing a mosquito in my ears. So twice I took my earphones off and swiped around my ears. Realized it's your video. Good thing the wife is sleeping.
Enjoy watching your video
I'm with the root cellar ! The second property looks amazing....and I'm pretty confident you will ace the build! Fresh caught Salmon with homegrown Veges and homemade sourdough! You are both a great inspiration for a simple life.....
Karon McDonell thank you!!
When I was a kid, we didn't have running water or electricity until I was 11 or 12 ('59 or '60). I lived on a res. and we were behind the rest of the world, even in WA. (One gains many skills, so no fear when we have to again live an 'off-grid' life). Therefore, I grew up with root cellars, gardens, canning, etc. The ones I knew were dug down fairly shallow, lined, reinforced, with cedar logs, log cabin style, bermed up to the top of the walls a beefy sealed ceiling layer bermed over with the excavated + soil and gravel, and a typical cedar shake roof (also good for storing lumber, garden tools, etc). The access was from the leeward end, a 'tunnel', like a basement access, and a washed gravel floor. Very efficient and effective. Life is good when you're forced to live it, isn't it.
You guy's are awesome. Love watching your show. Keep going. I'm getting a little older now but I WISHED I'd had all these means if information at a young age. I would've probably done the thing y'all did. N yes I'm from the South.
I think you will store your foods in drost free underground (or in ground) dug outs.. Kind of a mini root cellar. A dug down barrel works great.
I don't miss those no-see-ums. Left AK 6 yrs ago, miss it. Loved skiing, fishing, hiking, ice skating, shopping at Fred's. lol
Root cellar!!
You two are just inspiring!! You are so ambitious,hard working and really work so well together. The other property is really looking like a nice spot. I like that you cleared more trees at home. Gives you more of a view,more usable land space and a fire buffer.
Bettina H. Thank you so much 😀
Another great video Guys. Root cellar great idea if you have access to a 20' sea container instant root cellar. Can't wait for the build video.
My favorite💝 channel..since i found it..i went back and have been watching them all ..You 2 are amazing
An outdoor kitchen will be awesome!
That's the thing about Alaska, no good fire wood. Aspen doesn't burn good, and spruce and fir burn up fast.
Keith Rose we have birch but yes you are right we predominately use spruce but it burns quick and fast.
I’m going with everyone else and saying a root cellar.
I love working with a chainsaw , it’s like having a gym membership but free and outside. 😂
Great job guys. Keep up the good work.
For us we have about 3 months left to get our busy work done. Then comes the cold. 👍
A Root Cellar ideal for storing a lot of food.
I’ve always love the smell of sawdust. I’m so jealous. I can’t wait to live off grid.
Seperate canning kitchen, is a great idea. - then root cellar,
Really cool second piece of property, definitely rental potential. And if you get some firewood off of it that's good too. Just love watching you guys, it's always a pleasure.
Thanks for sharing your channel with us,
Jimmy
Root cellar,, gonna take some work to keep the frost out,, lots & lots of brush,, shavings,,sawdust for a base.. those Aspen,,popular,, cotten wood,, don't last for crap,, get cedar if you can.. If it's too tight,, it can mold also.. Wish i lived closer, I have lots of tricks from 40 years of building,, planting ,, picking living off grid did it all long before you tube!! But guessing your gonna need a couple feet of compost under the root cellar,, unless you run lights for a little heat.!! Be safe,, keep that saw outta the dirt,, easier to cut half/3/4 the way and roll.. If you think 4 cords is enough,, put up 6.. trying to burn & heat with wet frozen wood sucks!!LOL There's some really nice wood cook stoves out there,, made to heat water,,
bake,, & last all night,, Amish made!! Aloha....
There’s lots of free rigid board insulation to be had, leftovers from all the construction going on in the wasilla area. Very easy to build a good root cellar that stays above freezing.
@@brucea550 yea above ground ,, attached t to the house,,root cellars need to vent & breath,, a cold room attached to the house they can control heat ... Then it's not a cellar,, it's a cold room... I've kept ice all summer above grown with sawdust which vents.. I've seen root cellars over insulated turn to running water down the walls because they were over insulated & can't vent... I've never built or hung with people in Alaska who stored food in a root cellar.. Not every place is fit to build one .. mud doesn't breath,, gravel might breath to much,, it would be a shame to loose all that food..I canned ,, left carrots ,, beets, strawberries in the ground,, had a cold room for winter squash potatoes cabbage apples..You can't have to much food or firewood!!! aloha
Yup, saw that once on the north side of a cabin, well insulated and a solar powered fan for the airflow. Was a slick setup. When it got hot in July they had a source of cool air for the cabin, as you mention the ice was still holding up.
I have experimented with insulating my raised beds that have root crops and it works well, especially years with a lot of snow.
@@brucea550 yea need to never walk across your garden if you left in root crops.. I put a good foot of straw planer shavings,, sawdust from a mill, whatever i can find,,,,,, covered with a good tarp & stakes down the sides of the beds so i knew where stuff is planted.. when we need crops ,,,shovel down to the beds dig a bucket or 2 full what ever,,, Never expose on bitter cold days,, add new stakes forward,, cover back over with snow.. If you have mice & moles I set traps in a wooden box like 8 inches tall holes in the ends covered right under the tarps,, eat damaged food first ,, best carrots ever...We usually get 80 + days below zero here,, but no permafrost,......e ..
Hi,l love watching everything you guys doing, my favorite gardening, wish l was there,l love your 4 legged family 💐👍
Not sure you’d get tourists/summer people to rent there, but definitely local people who would rent it year round. Just gotta keep the tweakers out.
here we call em flatlanders,, Northern Maine!!
Buce A we have considered that option too!
I say your either gonna build a root cellar or a bear cash...both things are very Alaskan!!!
maybe combine both?
Meow to you too, kitty!
Your second property is really nice.
building a root cellar? that will be neat if you are, cant wait to see! wow, how fortunate that you have two properties! As I watch you, I am in awe of all of the things you guys get done in such a short time! And did I mention the LOVELY LOVELY quiet.......sigh....
It sure takes a lot of work to prep for winter. Spare parts are must.
Root cellar, beautiful scenery !!
That’s what I was thinking as well.
I'm a guessing y'all have been out there long enough to know when there's light you work till it's gone. Hopefully you'll get done with your winter prep early and have time to relax and think on what you missed and how you can correct it before the snow sets in. Seems to me that y'all are in the right mindset to make your dreams happen. It's a joy to watch as y'all get closer to the end.
Wilber Peebody thank you! We are trying to make the most of the daylight :)
You guys are working machines
She throws those logs around like they're WEIGHTLESS.
Love your channel . Two of the hardest working couple in the world. Please invest in some safety chaps.
Simply Living Alaska, great title, great watching, I really love your way of narrating everything you do.
I just found you and am overjoyed!
You have a BEAUTIFUL garden!
I'm looking forward to starting from scratch on your story! 😁
Shirley Courtney thank you 😀 Appreciate you watching!
Hey guys absolutely love the channel you guys are great! But having alot of friends in the forestry industry and hearing about lots of saw accidents from professional lumberjacks and how fast they can happen you really should invest in some chainsaw chaps and a hard hat with a brim to protect from kick back accidents happen so quick and I'd hate to see that happen to you guys especially with how far you probably are from medical care might be a good idea not have a tourniquet and big blood stoppers
Thank you for sharing your videos.
Everyone is saying root cellar but I don't see how that's gonna happen isn't the ground rocky...I don't know I'll just wait and be surprised.
Since someone mentioned Bach Flower Essences for your cats on the earthquake video and with your interest in plants and foraging, may I suggest Alaskan Flower Essences as tapping into the plant and elemental kingdoms could unfold as a related area of interest for you? A step even before that might be spagyric tinctures, a precursor of homoeopathy.
I hope it is above ground , insulated and earth berm root cellar. The wood walls will root over time sadly. I was hoping some of the logs where for a car port and metal roof !
That looked like some good grub!! I'd say a root cellar or a underground freezer (not sure how deep the permafrost is ha). Also, I guess you could go out in the winter and cut big ice blocks and store them in the cellar, that would keep the temp really cool at that point. P.S. if you ever do use ice blocks, cover them with saw dust (so I have heard).
Yes Root Cellar for sure.
The Aspen trees at your second property are indicative of better soil quality compared to the sites where white spruce is dominant.
Yum-dinner looked scrumptious. Are you building a cache? Perhaps a dug out root cellar. Nice second piece of land..
You could use Lg. Paper clips to hold up your tomatoes and other
veggies!
Oh wow you were walking on a carpet of bunchberry in the beginning of the video. Cornus canadensis. Same family as white pink and red dogwood trees except it a groundcover
She's a good worker that pretty young ga
i really love watching you both...i want to experience sowing seeds and let it grow in a cold place as yours....fr. Philippines
Wow what meal!! Great video work,
Awesome
Hey guys, I absolutely love your videos and learn so much from you! Thanks for all the effort you put into them. I was wondering what you do for income. I know you said you have only one or two monthly bills, but how do you cover other expenses? I just ask because I hope to live this lifestyle some day as well. And just food for thought...I think you guys could make a really awesome podcast about your off-grid experience! Thanks!
Chole Porter hello! Well as of now our profits from UA-cam cover our monthly bills, we moved up to Alaska with a large savings while we build our rental cabin and work towards other small incomes (chickens and bees) hope this helps!
Sounds like you planned well in advance and are creating even more opportunities for yourself in the future. That's awesome. I really appreciate the reply! @@SimpleLivingAlaska
I have those same plates. 😊
Not sure about having a large marshy area on the property. Seems like a breeding ground for mosquitos. Looks like quite the project! Have fun
Wow you guys ! You put out fantastic videos I can appreciate the work to put together. my guess is a Root cellar ?. You work so well together . thanks for bringing us along. Oh and hopefully soon you will get offers to demo products you use like a log splitter, Tractor. . 😀 I think you would do awesome products reviews. Love your Vlogs ! Take care be safe Craig from BC Canada.
Would be really cool, if you
did an off the grid challenge with one of the top 10 wrenchers on you tube to pimp your truck for AK use… e.g. all free lifts winches, light systems etc. Can You “Mod in the “Boonies”. Love to see Tavarich, Goonzquad, or Hoovie up there with a few pallets of goodness.
the fire flowers are harvestable
Ok, one simple question. You have every piece of equipment you need to live there. So why not a log splitter? Relatively cheap and portable. They are a huge time saver.
MOSQUITOES! Jokingly named the Alaskan bird haha!
Serenity Woods haha yes we are learning that this year!
No see ums attacked my son's eyes on first day and he landed in the hospital on steroids. The white of his eyes swelled, looked like a goldfish. lol
@@michellepernula872 yeah they are bad too!
It is said by those who live in the Alaskan Bush, that having a Winters worth of wood stacked up, is a better feeling than having a pile of money in the bank !
I remember you mentioned that you plan to add a small extension to the cabin so you can move the solar batteries and the water tank outside to make the cabin more organized and clean since these things are within the cabin right now.
J D we did say that and may still plan to do something like that, our biggest issue is what to do when winter comes if the room isn't heated. I appreciate you following along and remembering that :)
The short time to build is something that is getting to me.
Alaska Dream Life yes it takes getting use to...lots of time for planning and little time to actually work!
3:13 I had headphones on and literally swatted at my left ear 😂
My wife and I talked and we agree. That meal was “salmon pesto flatbread.” #madeitup
Rob Anderson haha sounds good to me!
У Вас так хорошо! Хочу к Вам )))
I bet the kitty wants some fish!
A root cellar. I have already seen your project videos.
Oh wow!!!
Loving that second property!
The garden is doing wonderful!!
cut a lime in half and stud it with whole cloves skeeters will run for the hills
Food looks great
Wood time. That’s what I need to do also.. LOL. A root seller? Dinner sure looked good. Have a great day you two..!!
Alaska is so pretty!
I know storage has to be underground or an insulated building of some kind. Now I’m curious.
You guys need a pickaroon for all your firewood work. I'm just getting into felling our blown down ash trees (damn you Emerald Ash Borer!). A homemade pickaroon is in my future for sure.
What do you use to protect yourself from ticks etc? I sure enjoy your episodes. The right people doing the right things.
ed henderson thank you 😀 we haven't seen ticks here.
Build a cache! Or build a bear-proof root cellar. The bears love to dig up a food source!
Thanks for sharing
I love 💕 those logs
You could start a blueberry patch from cuttings at your place along with rasp canes mmmm 😋 yummy
Hey what's up guys I just saw your videos and keep it up you're doing great I love it can't wait for the next video I think I have an idea are you guys going to be doing all underground refrigerator how people used to do back then ?
Root Cellar!
