    Dear Eric and Arielle, I just want to wish you both a Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 and a Happy New Year 🎊. Thank you both so much for all the wonderful videos you have given us all. These past few years that I’ve been watching have given me great joy. Eric I can appreciate your work ethics . Your meticulous way you do your work around your property. I am retired from working construction at a utility company and ran a 960 Case Trencher year round in Minnesota for 29 yrs. Loved my outdoor job.Winter was challenging with frost grinding to get utilities in the ground for new homes. So I can appreciate all that you do in the elements you both deal with day in and day out. Arielle what can I say you never cease to amaze me. Your beautiful meals ,garden, and work right next to your husband.What a team you both are. I wish you a safe year ahead .

      In remote places like that, the next person might be dealing with a blizzard or something unforeseen and can’t go out to chop trees for heat. So leaving wood for them is just the right thing to do

I noticed all of the stuff you have to load up and bring with you to make it possible. All of the food you will eat, all of the cooking pans, right down to the veggie peeler, glass pan for the banana pudding. It must take you forever to collect and pack up when leaving and coming back. Thank you for all you do to make the videos, they are so well done and I always am looking forward to your next one. Stay safe out there.

I also have a wood stove that I start before I go out. Yes, I do kinda live vicariously through you guys. When I lived in Timmins, Ontario years ago, winter was fun with my snow machine and trail rides and winter wildlife and 'bush bars' and great people. I learned(poorly) how to cross-country ski. I'm not a hunter but friends gave me moose & venison 'cause I looked like I needed it(didn't) but I sure enjoyed it. Merry Christmas you guys! Be safe and warm!

No surprise that a bunch of biologists come out there to do field studies. I bet their notes made for interesting reading.
