As a recovering alcoholic, we know that free time and boredom often leads to relapse. When I watch your videos I become motivated to do work and projects around my 14 acre property. Which keeps my mind occupied and busy. Thank you for the energy the two of you emit from your videos as you build your awesome buildings and property.
If you're getting old like me, a morning stretch routine makes you feel years younger before starting daily projects. Thankful to see these two working so well together and their energy is inspiring.
I’ve been watching you guys for a long time now….years. Your photography and story telling has just continually gotten better and better! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us and keep sharing the great nature photography…..you really are great at it!
That's why I keep following them after all these years, sometimes y'all might not be on the same page on every singe thing but you're always so kind. Goals.
Suggestion: start a second channel with just long scenery videos with ambient music. You have so much beautiful footage! I could play it for hours while I work. Maybe a spring, summer, fall, and winter videos of just scenery, then also wildlife in each season videos, a winter video with Christmas music…so many options! “Simple Living Alaska Scenery”
Loved seeing Bandit as well, miss seeing Bo and Bandit and think of them throughout your videos. Love how you guys lay it all out there, ask for help and tips and then take the advice. So cool to see technology work in this way as a win win for all of us. We get to see you, we get advice, we get other input and its fun and entertaining along the way. At this point I feel like I MUST comment on every video because they are so good and because I feel like you guys are my friends. Thanks for all you do and teach us. So much LOVE to you both Eric and Arielle. We love you so much. ❤❤❤❤❤
I love the opening footage of your videos. I’ve been housebound for almost 5 months this year and watching you has brought much delight for me. I live in an apartment in a city so at 75 will probably never use half of what I’ve learned from you two but you’ve provided hours of conversations and entertainment plus have brought back lots of memories! Loved seeing the Northern Lights. Thank you, I look forward to seeing each new videos!
is true but i have to say out of all other youtubers there is always one that of the couple that does more than the other one big time !!.. except for these two they both work together a lot and both do a lot never seen one or the other sit down or talking most of the video while the other do the work
Every time you show a montage of the northern lights I'm completely mesmerized... I can only imagine what they must have meant to the indigenous peoples of prehistory. What a magical landscape you have there. Your all black kitty is very sweet and obviously loves her chin scratches and cuddles. What a sweetie!
Eric, a few comments,from an engineering and safety standpoint. 1, (already mentioned) - put an end cap on the spare diesel line from the tank, until required. A knock from an animal or bird would be a costly environmental mess. 2, fit a bypass line around the tank filter so you can change/ clean filter without stopping generator and future oil boiler ( this is an optional suggestion) I have spend many years designing burner and gas flow control systems. 3, the the generator radiator fan blows outside through those hinged slats. Why? It will induce a lower pressure zone in the building and hence “ suck in” cold air or as you have seem chimney smoke. You can then use that warm and dry fan air to provide some heat into the hut during winter. 4 an intake “snorkel “ for the generator is a good idea. Bringing in cold dry combustion air from outside. Investigate “balance flues” for more reading Ps love what you both are doing.
I agree about the radiator fan most likely being the problem. That will be clean air so why blow all that heat outside? I suspect if you just close the outside vent you will be fine. Especially since the generator will not have long, continuous cycles.
Yah just close off the outside vent for the radiator. Free heat, kinda... Good news though. Your building is tight if that's causing negative pressure. I wouldn't worry about the intake unless your building is so tight just the intake creates negative pressure. That's highly unlikely, nothing's that tight. Plus you don't want icing carburator issues when it gets cold. Speaking of cold will the kero flow at sub zero temps? Luckily we don't get yer low temps so I know nothing about how well kero will flow in those temps. I know heating oil has issues at low temps and I believe kero is similar. If you didn't want the tank inside maybe you can build a shed around it and cut vents from the shop to heat the shed.
I love the new seed starting room. As a guy who starts hundreds of plants during the early Wisconsin spring months, I hope you do not have the moisture problems I deal with when the plants reach approx six inches. You do have cross-ventilation and that should suffice. I get condensation on the windows so it’s a challenge. As usual, I wait patiently for your videos; they are wonderful. You build sturdy structures . Speaks well of you both. The video technique of the bird moving closer to focus is outstanding!
Eric. Go with 3/8 fuel line or bigger if you have issues. 1/4 is fairly small for your gravity feed set up there. Need a fair bit of air intake as well. I'll get some pics and measurements from work tomorrow on this. We have louvered air intakes and running 4 cylinder Perkins diesels for back up power on chicken barns at work. Jeff.
Yes as cold as it gets there bigger is better 1/2 inch . This is not gasoline it diesel oil it get very thick. I have the filter inside protected and easy to clean keep from freezing.
Agree you will need plenty of fresh air intake for generator an other issue is to consider is the combustion on your log burner it will need plenty of fresh air to burn correctly. As they’re in the same room you may consider putting a room around generator.
12x12 generator room has two 30x30 intakes. One is directly in front of rad and the other is on side walls. Generators always have block heaters plugged in and battery maintainer. Have pics i can send. Second generator shed set up very similar. Hope this helps.
As I stated in another reply I'm concerned with the tank and lines outside in sub zero temps. Maybe even just below freezing. Flow is my concern, viscosity in cold temps. Heating oil has issues and kero I believe is essentially the same?
One of the great things about UA-cam is that it makes it possible for amazingly talented and hard working people like you two to be able to make a living at what you do best. Then the rest of us get to appreciate (and envy) you. 👏👏
You really outdid yourselves in this video. Just wonderful, enjoyed it so much. The Alaskan wildlife, the work on the generator, solving many problems. The work on the seed room, really nice. The northern lights! The chickens and eggs. The Lasagna, the kitty getting loved, hand feeding the bird on the porch. Battening down for the winter. Heart lifting, loved it! God bless.
There are only a few things that after seeing in person changed my life forever...the Redwoods, Yellowstone National Park, the Grand Canyon and the Northern Lights...
Fantastic episode! Your progression on the new homestead has been nothing short of incredible. You’re setting yourselves up for success and to thrive into the future! The best part is, no shortcuts and no compromises! Everything done with purpose and forethought for maximum efficiency! Well done! ARIEL, that was some of your best videography yet! Loyal viewer from Northern Minnesota!
Yes we have been seeing them (the northern lights) here in Wisconsin, but I am sure that what you are seeing is blowing are views away without the light pollution. First time replying to this channel and have watched for a long time. Nice job in your homestead, you worked hard and now it is starting to show!
Kitty has decided it is her turn to get all the attention after years of playing second fiddle to Beau and Bandit.What a sweetheart! Great video, you two are amazing in terms of how hard you work AND cook together!
This IS a complement. I just turned 76. You work ethic, your kindness to one another AND the Planet, not wasting food ect reminds me of the past i new in a GOOD way. I can only speak for myself. Todays world is Broken (my opinion only) to me. I only wish there were millions more like you. But yiou 2 will do just fine for now. God Bless. I am curious about the age of some viewers here, want to share
69 year old woman,sending kindness from Derbyshire Dales Uk to everyone who just needs a hug and a smile. These young people always give me hope and enjoyment. Beautiful camerawork and good honest lifestyle .
I just heard another heartbreaking story about a family caught in Helene in our area and two were killed in a mudslide. Families were in the same house because they thought it was safer than theirs. But in the end theirs was saved but this one lost. Everyone made ir out but two of the men. My heart is breaking for all the suffering going on around our small towns. Your videos are so helpful and it helps to know life is going on. The holidays are coming but since we had no damage, I cannot celebrate because so many have lost everything. Please keep our people in western North Carolina in your prayers. Thanks for keeping our minds off the awful catastrophe for a while. God bless you both, and I always love to watch anything going on with you two. God bless you and keep you safe.
The quality of your nature cinematography is incredible. As a Southern African resident, the Northern Lights litterally seems magical, as we never get to see something like that. ❤
I love how thorough you guys are, down to the tiniest detail. It seems like you feed off each other to keep pushing through projects. Your hard work is quite the love letter to each other. Way to be, sweet humans.
Love watching you both. Top notch in relationship skills and how to work together to create your own heaven. Cherish the relationship….as it is very rare. ❤😊
Thanks so much for another great video! I loved seeing Bandit on the trail cam. Seems like maybe Pepper is getting even more love now. She is a beautiful cat and I love that you almost always slip in a clip of her! ❤️
I could just watch a hours long video of your auroras and the wildlife cameras all day and night. Magical! I have an old English porcelain red fox (from Rye) that looks exactly like your fox, love him!
As I was watching the stars & sky I couldn't help but think how far y'all have come. I recently went back & watched a lot of your older videos. It is amazing at what all y'all have accomplished. Hard work pays off! I am so happy for y'all & it is encouraging to me! Watching your journey also makes me stop & think about life. Y'all chased a dream & didn't let the unknowns stop you. Sometimes the unknowns are scary, but we have to live life! I found your blog from years a go titled Pursuit to Living. So true & glad I took the time to read it.
I really enjoyed seeing the animals at the beginning running around the property and in the woods. Also great to see you are getting ready for winter once again with your seed starting room just in time for the cold weather and snow starts but take care and have a wonderful rest of your week thank you Eric and Arielle.🏔️🇺🇲🏔️
Me and my sister were night fishing in the UK watching the northern lights...what a fantastic stunning wonder! A night I will remember for the rest of my life! ❤❤❤
It's always so good to hear that if you guys have a question you always ask people who seem to know how to help you so glad you do ask and get it fixed right you guys are great keep up the good work
Bandit is still roaming your property! The northern lights are outstanding this year, even down south. Youse guys have so much energy and smarts to match ... I'm amazed at every video you post ... wish I was younger, smarter and more energetic!
The Northern Lights are spectacular. It should be a good year for them. Seeing them will never get old. And to see the stars and constellations moving by is magical. I love your videos for so many reasons. I love you guys.
We just love the scenery shoots. You kids do an amazing job. Loved seeing Bandit in your scenery shots. Also, I think I accidentally got him confused with Bo. Y'all knew what this old lady meant. Some days, I can't get my grandkids' names right. But enough of that. Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to make these wonderful videos we all enjoy so much.❤
I have been such a voyeur of you guys, for YEARS! I look forward to your footage so much, and always get excited when there's a new video. I love how you thrown in some Pepper kitty 😻 and love that you've got the birds literally eating out of your hand❤
We don't see you eating any canned food anymore. Didn't see you canning either this year. Have you stopped canning. It used to be wonderful to watch you use food from your pantry. With the work you've had all season, it must have been very hectic to preserve via canning. However, something tells me you guys aren't canning on purpose. Would you share please. Not being nosy, 😊just living vicariously through you guys. Sad to see you guys without your adventure partner Bandit. You guys are amazing, and you gave them( your pups) an amazing life too.
I spent a couple of hours trying to get a new password into my online bank. It took two people to get it fixed. I put the phone down and noticed you had a new video! Just what I needed! Thank you! Also, I always read comments and I’m so proud that we can give back some assistance now and then. Thanks, all you other subscribers!
It was actually quite delicious, I was skeptical at first. It's not comparable to noodles but I would recommend it. I did drain some of the extra liquid two times while cooking 🙂
Can't wait to see what you will start in the seed room. The Northern Lights must be breathtaking to see live! Thanks for another incredible video that demonstrates just how resourceful you both are.
Just a note from an old HVAC guy. If you haven't yet you need to have a vent on that outside fuel oil tank. From a quick google search an AI overview states "Venting a fuel oil tank is important to prevent the tank from rupturing or deforming. When fuel is consumed, a vacuum is created that can cause the tank to collapse. This can damage the tank and potentially lead to a fuel leak". I've been retired for about 15 years so I had to check because it's probably been twenty years since I installed and outside tank. Loved the trail cam videos at the beginning, especially the weasel. With his white belly I would assume that he's starting to change over to his winter white fur.
Everytime I see the quonset hut since you insulated it, I think of Superman's "Fortress of Solitude." One thing I use to do with cabbage is to make freezer coleslaw, sounds weird, but it's really good and you can keep it frozen for up to a year. Lots of recipes on the internet for it. It's a pickled cabbage. It's crisp when it thaws and fresh. ❤❤To all Lori from Oregon
I love that the bird trusts you enough to eat right out of your hand! I'm glad you got the bugs worked out of your generator. Looking forward to watching you use your seed starting room!
Insulator here. You guys are one of my favorites on yt! Hilty makes a real nice foam gun you can use over head with bigger cans. When insulating a ceiling you want a small gap for moisture/condensation so mold/rot doesn't happen.
I checked the previous video of the roof construction. They used an adhesive water shield over OSB with metal roof on top. Another concern might be that even though there is metal roof flashing between the quanza building and seed room roof, wind driven rain or snow melt could get up under that flashing and into the roof structure. Just my opinion.
Great content guys , love the show. We live in very cold climate also -20 to -40 °F. Be careful of the filter on bottom of tank as it could gell up or freeze up from condensation or water in diesel or #2 heating oil ( off road diesel ) .We cut 50/50 with kerosene or run straight kerosene. If in a pinch in super cold temps tilt tank in opposite direction of filter a bit and any water will run in opposite end. Usually only happens during a quick warm up or thawing event though. Good luck and great job all around.
Hi Eric and Ariel!! I wanted to tell you that my wife and I believe you two put out the best videos! Perfect amount of scenery, with in-depth coverage of what you're working on. We also love the soft background music played on occasion (probably Ariel's choice 😊). Much better than listening to someone's favorite playlist...lol Love you guys, and keep up the great videos!! From, F&V in Ohio.
We have all heard about the astronauts stranded in space due to a perplexing space vehicle problem. I think we should just send Eric. He is the master of natural fixer of things. Love your problem solving videos! God bless!!
One thing i really admire about you guys is the attention to detail you guys put on any project weather small or big , you two never leave any stones unturned to get perfection .
I was feeling down but you guys made my day. I loved the whole video and I’m sure you miss your Bo and Bandit.. your cat looks just like my cat Mike who I had to put down because she had cancer. I have been watching you for a long time now and just love it all🤗 thank you ☺️❤️☮️
Love the time lapse of the Northern Lights and the stars at about 17 minutes in just beautiful with out the light pollution of cities. The cat looks like it was enjoying that snuggle.
You two are super amazing with figuring things out and getting them right. You’re ROCK STARS for sure. I was so happy that you were able to get all those fish on your last vlog great job. Love 💕 y’all!
You two are my favorites to watch. Eric, I love how you have the gift of calm & peace within you as the critters, (your cat & the birds) that feel comfortable coming to you. I love it.❤
Heartfelt thanks, Arielle & Eric, for igniting passion in our lives! We're overjoyed to have 1 adult hen and 3 thriving young ones in Texas, despite the loss of one. Nixina's remarkable egg production - 20 initially, a remarkable double-yolked egg, and daily delights since - brings immense joy. The chicken-keeping journey is incredibly fulfilling, spreading happiness and contentment. Our organic brown eggs are a true marvel. That mouthwatering lasagna was a treat! Wishing you a tranquil winter season filled with love and light. I look forward to your upcoming videos. Your endearing cat is a sweet delight. May you be blessed with health, safety, and happiness. ~Mar.
You need some kind of roof ventilation in the seedroom. You will get mold on the inside, on the Osb when the isolation is straight up on the innerroof. Love your channel.
Controlling the humidity and moisture in the air will be paramount! The dry air of northern Alaska should help, the question will be too much moisture!
The opening trailcam footage was awesome....it was bittersweet to see Bandit. What a great Aurora segment! Breathtaking. Love the seed room....well done guys! Cheers from Ontario Canada 🫶🇨🇦

Thank you, you are more capable than you know. You got this 🥰 one day at time is all it takes.
I feel this. Stay strong!
If you're getting old like me, a morning stretch routine makes you feel years younger before starting daily projects. Thankful to see these two working so well together and their energy is inspiring.

Best TV show not on TV. These are the best shows I watch all week.
Totally agree

It’s so refreshing to see a young couple work so smoothly as a team!
That's why I keep following them after all these years, sometimes y'all might not be on the same page on every singe thing but you're always so kind. Goals.
@@nenequesadilla A lot of respect and love there !!! and they take such great care of there animals,,
You two work so hard, you’re a good example to the younger viewers.
the only thing i dislike about your videos is when they end 😍
The kitty knows you’re still in mourning and gives you extra love…
Suggestion: start a second channel with just long scenery videos with ambient music. You have so much beautiful footage! I could play it for hours while I work. Maybe a spring, summer, fall, and winter videos of just scenery, then also wildlife in each season videos, a winter video with Christmas music…so many options! “Simple Living Alaska Scenery”

But they work dang hard for that life.

Oh I was just about to write the same thing. They have more sense than I ever had and consequently learn so much. Such a great couple.
Which is why I continue commenting!
The last scene with the bird is amazing
My hat is off to Erick he is a gifted man I don’t think there is nothing he can do💪🏻

Eric, a few comments,from an engineering and safety standpoint.
1, (already mentioned)
- put an end cap on the spare diesel line from the tank, until required. A knock from an animal or bird would be a costly environmental mess.
2, fit a bypass line around the tank filter so you can change/ clean filter without stopping generator and future oil boiler ( this is an optional suggestion) I have spend many years designing burner and gas flow control systems.
3, the the generator radiator fan blows outside through those hinged slats. Why?
It will induce a lower pressure zone in the building and hence “ suck in” cold air or as you have seem chimney smoke.
You can then use that warm and dry fan air to provide some heat into the hut during winter.
4 an intake “snorkel “ for the generator is a good idea. Bringing in cold dry combustion air from outside. Investigate “balance flues” for more reading
Ps love what you both are doing.
Yes, Mike's right about the fan set up, needs a dedicated fresh air supply.
I agree about the radiator fan most likely being the problem. That will be clean air so why blow all that heat outside? I suspect if you just close the outside vent you will be fine. Especially since the generator will not have long, continuous cycles.

I was really hoping to see that greenhouse go up, but the seed starting/grow room is just as rewarding. Can't wait to see how this winter goes!

Bandit is still roaming your property! The northern lights are outstanding this year, even down south. Youse guys have so much energy and smarts to match ... I'm amazed at every video you post ... wish I was younger, smarter and more energetic!
Me too!
Yup, they're wired fer this...
Loved this week’s visit… the trail cam and Aurora interludes were spectacular! Thanks for taking us with! 💞🍁🍂❄️💞
The Northern Lights are spectacular. It should be a good year for them. Seeing them will never get old. And to see the stars and constellations moving by is magical. I love your videos for so many reasons. I love you guys.
Love Trail Camera's. Never know what you are going to capture. Thank You for letting Us be apart of your home and lives. ❤
I love how you all are always together in what ever you do.very hard working couple
Eric, you're so impressive. Is there anything you can't do?!?!
I know, right? Wish we could clone him!
@@Yesica1993 im sure that's illegal 🤣🤣🤣
Arielle's close-up, head lamp/safety glasses grin at 13:46 😂 The pure excitement of production & accomplishment!
We just love the scenery shoots. You kids do an amazing job. Loved seeing Bandit in your scenery shots. Also, I think I accidentally got him confused with Bo. Y'all knew what this old lady meant. Some days, I can't get my grandkids' names right. But enough of that. Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to make these wonderful videos we all enjoy so much.❤
My late grandfather was known for sometimes going through three generations of names before he got the correct one!
You know you've made it when a little bird comes to hand to feed. 👌👏👏
🪶
I have been such a voyeur of you guys, for YEARS! I look forward to your footage so much, and always get excited when there's a new video. I love how you thrown in some Pepper kitty 😻 and love that you've got the birds literally eating out of your hand❤
This is my first time i enjoy night sky that much on UA-cam ❤❤
Gorgeous intro. Really love watching your winter prep. 😊the Northern lights have been spectacular and have been seen much farther south than usual.
We don't see you eating any canned food anymore. Didn't see you canning either this year. Have you stopped canning. It used to be wonderful to watch you use food from your pantry. With the work you've had all season, it must have been very hectic to preserve via canning. However, something tells me you guys aren't canning on purpose. Would you share please. Not being nosy, 😊just living vicariously through you guys.
Sad to see you guys without your adventure partner Bandit. You guys are amazing, and you gave them( your pups) an amazing life too.
Nothing like waking up in the morning and seeing a new video from my favorite youtubers. Good Thursday morning from the Philippines. 🙃
I spent a couple of hours trying to get a new password into my online bank. It took two people to get it fixed. I put the phone down and noticed you had a new video! Just what I needed! Thank you! Also, I always read comments and I’m so proud that we can give back some assistance now and then. Thanks, all you other subscribers!
I never would have thought to make lasagna with cabbage leaves… I’m going to have to try that!!
We called that lazy cabbage rolls lol…
It was actually quite delicious, I was skeptical at first. It's not comparable to noodles but I would recommend it. I did drain some of the extra liquid two times while cooking 🙂
@@SimpleLivingAlaska Thanks, we had to know how it turned out! 😊
Can't wait to see what you will start in the seed room. The Northern Lights must be breathtaking to see live! Thanks for another incredible video that demonstrates just how resourceful you both are.
My corgi was enthralled with the trail cam footage ❤ It was lovely to see Bandit again. I hope you are both keeping well. Love from 🇨🇦
Just a note from an old HVAC guy. If you haven't yet you need to have a vent on that outside fuel oil tank. From a quick google search an AI overview states "Venting a fuel oil tank is important to prevent the tank from rupturing or deforming. When fuel is consumed, a vacuum is created that can cause the tank to collapse. This can damage the tank and potentially lead to a fuel leak". I've been retired for about 15 years so I had to check because it's probably been twenty years since I installed and outside tank. Loved the trail cam videos at the beginning, especially the weasel. With his white belly I would assume that he's starting to change over to his winter white fur.
I could watch your videos all day long, every day of the year!
Everytime I see the quonset hut since you insulated it, I think of Superman's "Fortress of Solitude." One thing I use to do with cabbage is to make freezer coleslaw, sounds weird, but it's really good and you can keep it frozen for up to a year. Lots of recipes on the internet for it. It's a pickled cabbage. It's crisp when it thaws and fresh. ❤❤To all Lori from Oregon
The northern lights are amazing. Your seed room is going to be amazing when it is finished.
Wow! What a beautiful light show
How is this channel not sponsored by Home Depot? It’s the best diy channel out right now.
I love that the bird trusts you enough to eat right out of your hand! I'm glad you got the bugs worked out of your generator. Looking forward to watching you use your seed starting room!
Insulator here. You guys are one of my favorites on yt! Hilty makes a real nice foam gun you can use over head with bigger cans. When insulating a ceiling you want a small gap for moisture/condensation so mold/rot doesn't happen.
@ tylertexx9344 Agree. Will be difficult to add a gap now. I didn’t catch how the roof is constructed.
I was thinking that also about the gap. I didn't know if it was okay with a metal roof and being so far north.
I checked the previous video of the roof construction. They used an adhesive water shield over OSB with metal roof on top. Another concern might be that even though there is metal roof flashing between the quanza building and seed room roof, wind driven rain or snow melt could get up under that flashing and into the roof structure. Just my opinion.
Great content guys , love the show. We live in very cold climate also -20 to -40 °F. Be careful of the filter on bottom of tank as it could gell up or freeze up from condensation or water in diesel or #2 heating oil ( off road diesel ) .We cut 50/50 with kerosene or run straight kerosene. If in a pinch in super cold temps tilt tank in opposite direction of filter a bit and any water will run in opposite end. Usually only happens during a quick warm up or thawing event though. Good luck and great job all around.
You guys have become my favorite channel on UA-cam. Thank you both for being who you are, and sharing it with the rest of us.
Hi Eric and Ariel!! I wanted to tell you that my wife and I believe you two put out the best videos! Perfect amount of scenery, with in-depth coverage of what you're working on. We also love the soft background music played on occasion (probably Ariel's choice 😊). Much better than listening to someone's favorite playlist...lol
Love you guys, and keep up the great videos!! From, F&V in Ohio.
We have all heard about the astronauts stranded in space due to a perplexing space vehicle problem. I think we should just send Eric. He is the master of natural fixer of things. Love your problem solving videos! God bless!!
The scenery is amazing and the wildlife is amazing . Love the hand feeding of the birds.
The northern lights are amazing. You did a great job sealing everything up. Nice and snug. Well done. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The Northern Lights are spectacular! Lasagna looks good too!
Seeing Bandit on the trail cam brought a tear to my eye. X
4 mins is the earliest I've ever been!
The wildlife photography is awesome guys!! Cool video and the cabbage lasagna looked really good!!
💖💖💖 beennnn waiting for thisss I’m so excited for your seed room!
One thing i really admire about you guys is the attention to detail you guys put on any project weather small or big , you two never leave any stones unturned to get perfection .
You need roof vents and a gap 0:39 between the roof boards and the foam. It prevents mold
I was feeling down but you guys made my day. I loved the whole video and I’m sure you miss your Bo and Bandit.. your cat looks just like my cat Mike who I had to put down because she had cancer. I have been watching you for a long time now and just love it all🤗 thank you ☺️❤️☮️
I love how you work together to get things done. Nice video
Love the time lapse of the Northern Lights and the stars at about 17 minutes in just beautiful with out the light pollution of cities. The cat looks like it was enjoying that snuggle.
You two are super amazing with figuring things out and getting them right. You’re ROCK STARS for sure. I was so happy that you were able to get all those fish on your last vlog great job. Love 💕 y’all!
You two are my favorites to watch.
Eric, I love how you have the gift of calm & peace within you as the critters, (your cat & the birds) that feel comfortable coming to you.
I love it.❤
Love your videos, Eric and Ariel. It's like watching a national geographic program. Lots of love and blessings xjx
Actually? BETTER THAN National Geographic! :>)
Heartfelt thanks, Arielle & Eric, for igniting passion in our lives! We're overjoyed to have 1 adult hen and 3 thriving young ones in Texas, despite the loss of one. Nixina's remarkable egg production - 20 initially, a remarkable double-yolked egg, and daily delights since - brings immense joy. The chicken-keeping journey is incredibly fulfilling, spreading happiness and contentment. Our organic brown eggs are a true marvel. That mouthwatering lasagna was a treat! Wishing you a tranquil winter season filled with love and light. I look forward to your upcoming videos. Your endearing cat is a sweet delight.
May you be blessed with health, safety, and happiness.
~Mar.
I love how happy you two are
"Super un-fun" ❤❤❤😂 my absolute new favourite phrase !!
Love you Ariel.
You need some kind of roof ventilation in the seedroom. You will get mold on the inside, on the Osb when the isolation is straight up on the innerroof. Love your channel.
Controlling the humidity and moisture in the air will be paramount! The dry air of northern Alaska should help, the question will be too much moisture!
Do the windows open from the bottom and from the side? Controlling the humidity will be the key.
oh the wildlife scenes are great,thx so much guys.and that ferret,minx whatever is so darling.
You two amaze me how well you two work together. Also, my cat enjoys watching your shows with me.
The opening trailcam footage was awesome....it was bittersweet to see Bandit. What a great Aurora segment! Breathtaking. Love the seed room....well done guys! Cheers from Ontario Canada 🫶🇨🇦
Thank you! You always make my day! Love your channel! God bless your family! Amazing!
