Lily is a great helper! She has the right attitude. I'm subscriber #24 on your other channel. Beautiful scenery. I'm glad it's not that cold yet here in Minnesota, not ready for winter but you have to prepare alot before it comes. Not an easy task but teamwork is necessary in your case. Have a great weekend!!
First time seeing your channel, am excited to go back and watch more. Beautiful scenery, similar to New Zealand, i am in Australia now, not as picturesque as NZ or you there, my son has a wish in life to see a moose, you are living on the doorstep of dreams of kids living in a desert!! Thankyou for lovely content.
Oh thank you Carol... You are nice. Lily and I have lots of fun together too. Sometimes we are trying to film and we start getting the giggles together. It's a good time
@@Alaskan6pack no I don’t I would be terrible in front of a camera. Hahaha I started a blog on our new homestead we bought. I hope we can sell this place soon so we can move over there.
Oh thank you!! We had fun. I am loving my new shop vac. So nice. After the excavator came in, it's been mud city around here. Once that dries it turns to dust and dirt in the cabin. Hoping for another video out tomorrow, more on winter prep around here. Thank you!!!
Your daughter is good help. Costco has a lot of great buys we don’t have one here. The closest is in Colorado Springs I live in 70 miles away. My vehicle wouldn’t make that drive. We live in Colorado. Have a blessed day.
Oh thank you! Yes she is prescious. She doesn't like me lifting too much weight so she will insist she does it. Yes Costco is great. My white van is old and trust me it's hard on it to drive to Anchorage! It has almost 300K miles on it.... thanks for watching 😊
Chris, we have homeschooled all of them since they were young ( like 5 yrs old) I love it because we can integrate real life skills with book education Plenty of skills needed to learn up here! Lol Thanks for watching!
Great video ladies. ❤. Lilly such a great helper and such a beautiful soul!! ❤. I did not know you had another channel. Will check it out. Hope all is well.
Well thank you. We do have fun. She is funny ..she doesn't want me to pick up the heavy items ..so she does. So sweet. Thanks for watching us. Yes, my other channel should be fun. I love shopping so I figured why not do a channel on it...fun times
We drive into Bangor for our Sam's Club haul. It takes us 3 hours each way. We go out every 6 weeks for fuel, propane and to resupply. I'm optimistic that once our solar is installed we can do quarterly hauls. Next year we're going to add chickens, ducks, and rabbits to our homestead. Watching you gives me confidence. Thank you!!❤
Oh my goodness I love it! Do you have a channel? Your life sounds great, self sufficient and you are growing your independence. Great job. You are doing it!!! 👍👍👍👍
If you can’t get it at Three Bears, you probably don’t need it. Get your fresh veggies, sharpen your buck knife, get some Kirkland products there, and pick up your ammo and a gun safe on the way out. It’s amazing!
Nice video, for the winter have you considered getting like a 50lb or 100lb bag of flour and a huge bag of pure cane sugar (I know not organic but pure cane is close). That would help because of logistics on getting bulky product to the cabin. You might be able to get white food buckets at bakeries (Walmart, Costco, Sam's or even 3bears) for storage.
Yes good idea. Do you have any thoughts on the best way to store lots of flour? I honestly just don't know. Any good ideas just let me know. Yes, bulk storage. I can look at Azure products too.
@@Alaskan6pack I think flour will last a year if in dry sealed containers. Food grade five gallon pails. You could also do rice and beans in bulk. Oatmeal too.
Egg nog! We were in Walmart the other day and they had none. My son wants a sectional in his room i stead of a bed.😮 Wow! That’s a lot of snowblowers. Even in NY the stores’ inventory wasn’t close to that amount. Mother nature is trying to tell you something. A contractor we know uses those buckets from buying paint and we’ll grab some from him if needed. My wife loves Ryobi so for Christmas I’ll see what new attachments are out there. Did I see 30.00 for a flannel shirt? Pet food isn’t cheap. We have cats. Thanks for taking us. The hurricane hit the Big Bend and Panhandle. We were safe on the east coast. Just some tornado watches and a warning. Nothing happened. What’s your new channel? Till next time Sarah.😊
Hey there! New shopping channel @ShoppinginAlaska We love Ryobi too. We have lots of small portable fans. The batteries charge up fast and last a long time. Yep flannel shirts expensive at that store. Hope you guys stay safe ..some crazy weather out there.... Have another homestead video coming out today later Woke up to freezing temps this morning
I thought you had a second channel but it’s in the same channel I thought it was a different channel winter is coming in Alaska bye bye summer I will be sharing this on my Facebook page publicly have a great weekend homestead living Alaska here from Ontario Canada ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦😎
Mike, you are so supportive to our family. Thank you for the extra steps you take for us. We should hopefully have another homestead video out tomorrow too! Been a busy week here You take care and thank you!!!!
@@Alaskan6pack I will always support your other channel too you are most welcome I love supporting great people ❤️❤️❤️❤️you are my family on UA-cam well I move into my new house in one week it’s huge in ground pool it’s beautiful and it looks out to Lake Ontario more room three bedrooms three bedrooms the house is only six years old all the appliances come with the house everything is brand new.
@@Alaskan6pack sometimes I wish I was from United States because you get to live in a beautiful country called Alaska all year round I have seen some videos on Anchorage Alaska don’t really like it there but I love it Here in willow Alaska totally different part of Alaska I sometimes wish I was younger like 30 years younger but I had a great Business to run
That's crazy!! Well I think everywhere prices are going up unfortunately. I remember when a gallon of milk was like 1.99 back in the day. Boy I would love to get those prices back! Lol Thanks for watching!
Our viewers are so generous and nice. We usually put the money towards things we need If money is meant for one specific person then of course they get it... It's always appreciated and used wisely
Aussie bites are in the regular bread aisle, where the dried fruit and stuff is too. Seems like most prices are comparable to my costco in Indiana. There are things here and there that are a few bucks more. Like our heavy cream is like a dollar less, the tortillas are same price
Ok cool I will look there next time! Thanks for the tip. Wow, comparable to Indiana surprises me. Well I guess shopping at Costco overall does save money though.! Thanks for sharing!
Alaska is certainly beautiful. Question, what does Harley like? Lily, what do you need for your parakeet to keep her cozy thru the winter. Hocking family what's on your wish list for Cristmas? I'm thinking Xmas flags!!!haha. Great video.
Harley likes bananas! Lily would love a cuddle hut for Coolant I am sure. Wish list for Christmas...hmmm..... I will think about that. Wool clothes are great and we still need to purchase winter gear too . Thanks for watching us!
@@Alaskan6pack I have found a lot of employees will shoot an answer but they don’t really know unless they have a computer in front of them looking the actual item up.
I am new viewer to your channel and your new channel.I have a question for you how do you keep your frozen and perishables cold when you do your shopping since you go to different stores at the same time
Welcome and thank you Susan!! To be honest it's so cold here we don't have to worry much. It has been freezing in the mornings. Sometimes we will cover our groceries with a blanket between pit stops. Good question. We used to live in Oregon and I would bring ice chests for shopping trips in that state...too hot even in the mornings. Different environments... hopefully that makes sense,!
That's probably the right order to get stuff, especially when we have a couple of carts going... I will do that next time. Great tip and thank you! Thank you for watching us too!
Absolutely. This is my personal take on it. Depending on what professional job or industry will depend on your income. Most jobs here actually pay pretty well... So you make more and you spend more..it's on the same platform I guess. The North slope workers make decent money, medical professionals, and actually flaggers and road workers do well too! So as long as you watch your pennies, don't overspend or stretch yourself...you will probably be fine... Hopefully that makes sense! Good question though
lol hold on a second!!!! favorite socks for the boys? lol boys could not care less about socks lol they are your favorite socks for the boys lol lol love the channel but thats a very Ma thing to say :)
It's kinda funny when I was kid we had drive 4 hours one to get a month worth of food and there was no Costco or Sam's club or Walmart, we had a pick and pay and just regular food store very cool that thing are different now and I grew up in Montana not Alaska lol
Another Alaska channel said NEVER GET COSTCO TOILET PAPER. Her plumber said only use Walmart TP. COSTCO' does not break down & is very harmful to Alaska systems. ALL SYSTEMS. Sewer & septic. FYI. God bless you all and many prayers. 🙏🏻 I always buy Costco pickled herring. Omgosh its incredible!
Costco picked herring! Oh my that does sound pretty good. We love anything pickled. Jeff loves pickled eggs. Vinegar is so good for you. I did not know that about Costco TP. Thank you for sharing that!.... Well off to move more firewood. Hopefully another video out on Saturday 😊👍
I have never heard of "the chefs store" I think there is food delivery in bigger cities like Anchorage, Wasilla, etc... not so much in the smaller more remote locations
Oh I will definitely do that. Thank you so much for the tip!! We try to eat non toxic and pesticide free as much as possible! It's so sad that's hard to do these days.. Thanks again
When you show a product tell what size it is or how oz. Or qts or pints and how much it costs! As long as you dont spin the camera around, i wont get seasick!!
I think the stores that actually charge for lids, are just horrible. Back in the day they would have sold them together. Not separate them and charge for each. I know all stores do it now. I guess they are just trying to squeeze that last little bit out of you.
Yes I agree that things were very different back in the day. Packaging, marketing and prices were all so different. I wish more items were packaged in glass, but I know the cost is the issue most likely
I don't get why don't you buy more so less trips in?? I'm mom of 8 they are grown now but I shopped only 1x a month n sometimes went even longer it just hubby n I now n I still go shopping every 2 2.5 months but freezer alway kept full with meat
Wow a mom of 8, that's awesome...! Next trip will be more. This trip we just couldn't afford more. Self employed so income fluctuates... that's just how it goes
I am going to call it, even as a new viewer. Please, get an external mic or be aware of where your hand is. It's very hard to hear when your hand covers the microphone part of your phone.
@@Alaskan6pack Thankfully you didn't take that the wrong way. :) We had our first snow here in Edmonton Alberta today. Thankfully only a few flakes fell. Is it me or does it seem like it was just winter?
Yes you are correct. Up here in Alaska though it's a pretty good place with great prices When we used to live in Oregon I would go to Trader Joes and WinCo...but they don't have those stores here. Only Walmart, Costco, Fred Meyer, Carrs, 3 Bears...
1ST time watching one of your video's. 1 minute into the video~ I really gotta tell you your music was sad...made me feel like this was a sad time. I will admit it kind of threw me off for a bit.
Ok, well we are definitely not sad in my family! Thanks for your input. We do a mix of songs on each video usually. Let me know what type of music you enjoy
Hang on I'm confused your living off grid but you shop at huge stores and buying loads of stuff ... toilet paper? What about a composting toilet living off grid. If the shit hits the fan you guys are screwed
@Alaskan6pack no I haven't lived off grid and probably misunderstood the meaning of it. Im really in awe of anyone who does especially where you live and the challenges you face with climate distances to travel etc. I'm just glad I can walk down to the shops to get what I need. Best wishes to you from the uk hope the coming winter is kind to you
Oh it's all good....! I have lived city life and am now living this way. So I enjoy helping others if they have questions or anything... it was a strange transition for me for sure a few years back. Thanks for watching us and supporting our channel. It is 5 degrees F this morning...getting cold for sure!!😊❄
Your prices in the U.S. are outragous....that stuff in Germany is a 10th of the price...you are all getting hugely ripped off. Let me guess you use your credit card to pay for it.
@@Alaskan6pack Omg, I almost died looking at your prices in the meat section....$6 (€5,70 ) here in Germany for the one you picked in the same weight. I wonder if those are union prices.
Not sure. We prefer wild game of course. No luck this year so far. We went to a local butcher shop the other day and got some better meat. Thanks for watching,!
@@Alaskan6pack It is interesting....guess if I ever move there, will have to save my money because you go broke fast and looks to be you have to have a round figure for income to live....thanks for the video. For a family of 4 here in Germany I spend around €400 $450 a month ( and thats on the high end...I could do lower if needed and still live confortable. 49 cents for milk) . This is not by being a saver or shop only for what I need but also wants as well.
Wow. Yep save up. It's easy to go broke fast here. Especially with food prices going up, etc...that's why we are trying to grow our own food. Hoping for a huge greenhouse next year ( if we can afford it)! Lol
Probably not. I still worry about what is in bubbly water. Oh well I guess it's better than soda! I don't drink soda, so every now and then when I do drink it, it's just too sweet for me... Thanks for watching us!!😊
Great video!! It’s always fun to see the scenery, it’s gorgeous!!
Oh thank you. Lily and I always have fun. Sometimes we are filming and we get the giggles... it's always fun though!
Great Alaska scenery and good video!!
Thanks, glad you liked it!

For the dairy products you are not you checking the Best Before dates, you definitely need to especially if you’re going to a big haul .
Hey....great video. I have just started my list for winter stock up, would like to get it done later in October. Thanks for sharing....🇨🇦🌷
Thanks for watching. I bet yours will be a long list! Do you guys have a channel?
@@Alaskan6pack no I don’t I would be terrible in front of a camera. Hahaha I started a blog on our new homestead we bought. I hope we can sell this place soon so we can move over there.

Thanks for watching
Aussie Bites aren’t in the bakery in our Costco(Seattle) They’re in with the other pre-packed cookies and snacks. They’re organic and delicious!
Oh my, they are sooooo good.
I am going to buy like 5 packs next time.
I love all the seeds and fiber in those 😊
They have a large selection of drinks at the Costco Business Center. Waterloo too. Great vlog today!
Hoping to hit that store before the snow hits!!!
Stay tuned. It may be on my new shopping channel. Thanks for watching!
@@Alaskan6pack followed your new shopping channel! keep up the good work! 🙂
Yeah! That will be a fun channel. I already have some good ideas for next year. Thanks for watching us!
Loved this shopping trip 👏👏👏👏
Oh thank you!! We had fun. I am loving my new shop vac. So nice. After the excavator came in, it's been mud city around here. Once that dries it turns to dust and dirt in the cabin.

Yeah Debbie!!! Thank you... We will have another homestead video out hopefully tomorrow
Thanks! This helps, so much! We’re headed up next week.

We drive into Bangor for our Sam's Club haul. It takes us 3 hours each way. We go out every 6 weeks for fuel, propane and to resupply.
I'm optimistic that once our solar is installed we can do quarterly hauls. Next year we're going to add chickens, ducks, and rabbits to our homestead.

Aussie bites are where palmiers and other snack treats are in the aisles. 😊
Ok thank you, we will check again next time.
Thanks for the tip! .. hoping we eventually find them
If you can’t get it at Three Bears, you probably don’t need it. Get your fresh veggies, sharpen your buck knife, get some Kirkland products there, and pick up your ammo and a gun safe on the way out. It’s amazing!
I agree, 3 Bears is so convenient and they have lots to choose from.
Their staff is nice too!
Nice video, for the winter have you considered getting like a 50lb or 100lb bag of flour and a huge bag of pure cane sugar (I know not organic but pure cane is close). That would help because of logistics on getting bulky product to the cabin. You might be able to get white food buckets at bakeries (Walmart, Costco, Sam's or even 3bears) for storage.
Yes good idea. Do you have any thoughts on the best way to store lots of flour? I honestly just don't know. Any good ideas just let me know.
Yes, bulk storage. I can look at Azure products too.
@@Alaskan6pack I think flour will last a year if in dry sealed containers. Food grade five gallon pails.
You could also do rice and beans in bulk. Oatmeal too.
Yes. We have lots of rice. Need more flour though
Egg nog! We were in Walmart the other day and they had none. My son wants a sectional in his room i stead of a bed.😮 Wow! That’s a lot of snowblowers.

Could you please help me on how you make it in Alaska if prices on everything is so expensive
Absolutely. This is my personal take on it. Depending on what professional job or industry will depend on your income.
Most jobs here actually pay pretty well...

Should have picked up a spare paper filter for the shop vac.

Wow a mom of 8, that's awesome...! Next trip will be more. This trip we just couldn't afford more. Self employed so income fluctuates... that's just how it goes
I am going to call it, even as a new viewer. Please, get an external mic or be aware of where your hand is. It's very hard to hear when your hand covers the microphone part of your phone.
Oh no worries I really appreciate that input!!! Sounds good. We will try to improve on the audio
It's snowing here today!!
@@Alaskan6pack Thankfully you didn't take that the wrong way. :) We had our first snow here in Edmonton Alberta today. Thankfully only a few flakes fell. Is it me or does it seem like it was just winter?
Oh no...I feel like it was just yesterday!
You are not alone😊
Love to have your husband to build my new house
Oh thank you, very kind of you!
coscto is not always the cheapest.
Yes you are correct. Up here in Alaska though it's a pretty good place with great prices
When we used to live in Oregon I would go to Trader Joes and WinCo...but they don't have those stores here. Only Walmart, Costco, Fred Meyer, Carrs, 3 Bears...
1ST time watching one of your video's.
1 minute into the video~ I really gotta tell you your music was sad...made me feel like this was a sad time.
I will admit it kind of threw me off for a bit.
Ok, well we are definitely not sad in my family! Thanks for your input. We do a mix of songs on each video usually.
Let me know what type of music you enjoy
Hang on I'm confused your living off grid but you shop at huge stores and buying loads of stuff ... toilet paper? What about a composting toilet living off grid. If the shit hits the fan you guys are screwed
Hello there! I am curious, have you ever lived off grid?
@Alaskan6pack no I haven't lived off grid and probably misunderstood the meaning of it. Im really in awe of anyone who does especially where you live and the challenges you face with climate distances to travel etc. I'm just glad I can walk down to the shops to get what I need. Best wishes to you from the uk hope the coming winter is kind to you
Oh it's all good....! I have lived city life and am now living this way. So I enjoy helping others if they have questions or anything... it was a strange transition for me for sure a few years back. Thanks for watching us and supporting our channel. It is 5 degrees F this morning...getting cold for sure!!😊❄
@Alaskan6pack not much warmer here in the UK haha. I'll keep following I love seeing how people live in other countries wishing you all the best
Thank you for watching us!
Your prices in the U.S. are outragous....that stuff in Germany is a 10th of the price...you are all getting hugely ripped off. Let me guess you use your credit card to pay for it.
Nope. Cash or debit card. We don't charge stuff anymore. It's too much of a trap.
@@Alaskan6pack Omg, I almost died looking at your prices in the meat section....$6 (€5,70 ) here in Germany for the one you picked in the same weight. I wonder if those are union prices.
Not sure. We prefer wild game of course.
No luck this year so far.
We went to a local butcher shop the other day and got some better meat.
Thanks for watching,!
@@Alaskan6pack It is interesting....guess if I ever move there, will have to save my money because you go broke fast and looks to be you have to have a round figure for income to live....thanks for the video. For a family of 4 here in Germany I spend around €400 $450 a month ( and thats on the high end...I could do lower if needed and still live confortable. 49 cents for milk) . This is not by being a saver or shop only for what I need but also wants as well.
Wow. Yep save up. It's easy to go broke fast here.
Especially with food prices going up, etc...that's why we are trying to grow our own food. Hoping for a huge greenhouse next year
( if we can afford it)! Lol
Ok woah you said healthy soda s?? Is there such a thing!! Lol
Probably not. I still worry about what is in bubbly water. Oh well I guess it's better than soda! I don't drink soda, so every now and then when I do drink it, it's just too sweet for me...
Thanks for watching us!!😊
