- The transition from late summer into fall is fantastic in Alaska. Salmon spawning, wildlife feasting, hillsides prolific with wild berries and our first summer honey harvest from the bees gives us great reason to be grateful to live in such an incredible place.
We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀
Thank you for watching and supporting our channel! 💙

Back when I watched TV, there were 10 episodes of a favourite series, each lasting half an hour. Then that series would be gone for 8 months to make another 10 episodes. You guys make a show, longer than half an hour, with better editing and more interesting content every five days.... without fail. You are incredible! Thank you so much.
Its funny how watching tv isnt something to do. Its been so long ive honestly forgotten what shows i mightve watched but youtube was interesting to pass the time. Yah its amazing how people video.
Agreed!
Thats why UA-cam is so good!
andy only Well said. Eric and Ariel know how to tell a great story with the stunning beauty of Alaska. About the time I watch earlier episodes (because I miss E & A), they come out with something new. Much fun and appreciated.
And that’s why I watch their ads… they work hard on these videos
From a fellow beekeeper in Washington State… Great job! Keep at it and you will be rewarded more and more each year! Your bees look healthy and happy. One reason to primarily harvest only capped honey is that bees are pros at regulating moisture content. Too much moisture and you run the risk of spoilage. Too little and the honey crystallizes. Harvesting in-capped you are dealing with an unknown variable which is fine if you plan to use your harvest sooner, but if you are hoping for shelf life, only harvesting capped honey is the way to go. I love that you only used a large mesh strainer. Many keepers want that clear, golden look in their honey, but there is so much benefit to leaving medium to large pollen clusters, especially if you or someone you know suffers from allergies. All in all, you are doing great! I love watching all of your videos, especially those pertaining to fishing! One day I hope to make my way up with my wife and children for some salmon fishing. Thank you for putting these videos out for us to enjoy!!
Thank you for explaining! this is really interesting. 🌸🐝
Thank you for sharing, very interesting!
from a beekeeper in Connecticut, you don't need to pull the wax paper off the pollen pattie just score it on both sides bees will chew it up.
you could use the uncapped honey to make mead too, However that takes time to ferment
Yup, I can't eat store bought honey. And it tastes bad. But our own honey.... is wonderful.
@@w8stral store bought honey is corn syrup and honey mixed to make it go farther
The look on Ariel's face when she gets in with her big ol basket of berries is priceless....loved it!! and the wildlife footage was spectacular....could watch y'all everyday....be safe 🙂
My thoughts exactly 😆👍
Like a kid in a candy store. or Christmas morning. She's so cute!
Oh I know!!! She was so proud and happy.
@Tami
I respectfully correct your spelling of Arielle's name .... I know it's probably auto-incorrect at work again 🤗👍💞🙏
I thought the same thing!!
That transitionary section between the honey harvest and the blueberry picking was exceptionally well edited and filmed.
It was literally enchanting. People who dont enjoy these videos are missing out
@@abimol3802 completely agree. I have no desire really to live like this nor do I like fish but still watch every single video. The fishing and canning ones are my favorite!
My mother in law and I talk about our favorite youtubers, and tonight she said she found an amazing channel, a man and woman and she watched a video about the moose, that they live in Alaska and they have a tiny washing machine. I immediately said THATS ERIC AND ARIELLE!! She subbed and now we have more favorite youtubers to talk about 💙
Omg!! My daughter heard that lovely music and came up over my shoulder and asked "Is this National Geographic?" I said, no, but it very well could be! That wilderness footage was absolutley epic!
So cool! :)
@@SimpleLivingAlaska Hy. You should make yourself a Blueberry Comb. Makes it way easy picking.
Bo is sucha good boy. They both are, but I love Bo’s chill old man vibe.
😀 True, Bo doesn't move fast, because he doesn't have to. I wonder how old Bo is, but I bet he has always been that way.
@@charlesbaldo he's like 13-14
I think they said Bandit and Bo are the same age too. But Bandit is like the grandpa who still runs marathons. Bo is like, "Where's my recliner?" Lol
@@angelamarie4137 no wonder they named him bandit . Always on the move
You could really have another second successful youtube channel that featured nature scenes and calm music. I would totally have that on all day in the background as I did work-from-home. You have a great eye and ear for it....just sayin'!!! Love you guys and your videos. Very well done, as usual!!!
I second that.
I think they even could sell their videos to National Geographic
That is such a great idea i would love to see that!
Definitely. It would be lovely to fall asleep with that type of video playing, very relaxing
Definitely!! Such breathtaking footage and perfect music to accompany it!!
"the spatula is my absolute favorite kitchen tool because just when you think yoy don´t have anything left there is always something left" Ariel, 2022. Please, somebody put that on wikiquote hahahaha
There is something so wholesome and heartwarming about Arielle's smile when she sits with her bucket full of blueberries! We are blessed with wild Maine blueberries. They are smaller than blueberries you buy in the store and we prefer them!
That scenic interlude was gloriously filmed and really highlighted the beauty of the land and fauna. All those fish! And we saw a bear! Thank goodness for a drone and a good lens.
Omg yes, this is the 1st time on here for me I've seen them film wildlife, I was in Awwww. Thanks so much. I'm pretty sure I asked awhile back about the bears. Either way I didn't want it to end. Beautifully Narrated.
And the music was perfect!
@@teambabeable Yes the music gave it that extra touch! Beautifully done and so relaxing to watch.
Music was hauntingly beautiful, superb choice! Nature in Alaska seems godlike to me, in a really primeval way, it reminds me of something that we all hold in the deeper consciousness of our species, of a simpler, more dangerous time. It's the cycle itself, life and death, spring and winter, rot and birth. It makes me feel connected.
A beautiful, almost poetic, expression of what one feels when witnessing such wild, breathtaking, natural beauty. Thank you for putting that feeling into words.
The footage that you took starting at the Rivers and going down through all that nature area was absolutely amazing. You should just edit that out and make your own little video of just the nature part of it and post it. It was absolutely amazing.
It's always awesome to harvest honey. Last year my Dad had about 10 Gallons of Honey. Truly Blessed.
Bo looked so majestic sitting on the rise among the bushes. The blueberry pie/cobbler had me drooling. It's always a nice surprise when your new episodes pop up. Always entertaining.
When your pup was splashing in the puddle it interpreted to APPLAUSE 👏🏼 😂😂 very fitting
A water pup. Part Blue tic,???
Fresh honey, lovely blueberry pie and beautiful freshwater. The scenery is breathtaking. You both are doing a great job, thank you for taking us along. 😁
Now you need a milking cow for fresh whip cream for the pie. 😊
The nature shots were stunningly beautiful! I’ve never seen so many blueberry bushes, what a great harvest!
The pie looked great, too. I’m sure by now you’ve already made blueberry pancakes with honey - that’s where my mind went straight away!
Aw, this was my favourite episode so far, I think. 🥺I want to go blueberry picking in the mountains of Alaska!
The nature shots are awesome! Spectacular! Amazing! Wow!
This is the single most beautiful video I have ever seen of Alaska, you captured the beauty and excitement of beekeeping and your capture of scenery is beyond words. My soul is touched. I hope you win awards for this video. Fan for life
It was one of the best videos yet. That scenery was just amazing
Brought many childhood memories of my own blueberry picking . Watching on my 81st birthday.
Once again, Bravo! I love the fact there's nothing pretentious about the two of you. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into Alaskan life. Be well, stay safe, love from Texas.
Somehow the music you chose really evokes the end of summer and compliments the scenes you chose to share! Beautiful small honey harvest. We love berries in our family and my d-i-l loves blueberries best of all... she grows quite a few.
Everything you guys post are like mini film. Incredible, as always.
People don't realize how much work goes into filming this type of content. First of all there is the actual filming, which involves batteries and data cards, tripods, cables, microphones, etc, etc and then there is the editing which very time consuming. I love the way these guys make it so easy and natural. You feel like a third person who has come along for the adventure.
I love that the bees are addressed as “The Girls” 🐝
The bear was awesome ! Alaska is breathtaking ! So worth the hard work you do to live there.
Well they are girls lol
The best thing in the world is pancakes with homemade blueberry jam. I live in Norway and every year we spend days and sometimes weeks in the mountains harvesting blueberries to use in everything from baking to jams. Alaska looks like home to me🥰
I LOVE how bandit is always working on that pond trying to make it a little bigger each day to fit some salmon and trout in!
Whoever edited this video with the music and scenery videos did such a great job! I don't know if it was a joint effort or if you divide the editing task but I have to say I felt pretty entranced with the breathtaking scenery and the music really did it justice. I loved it! thank you for sharing!
That was Eric thank you :)
Great blueberry harvest! Here in NE MN, we usually pick about 10 gallons a year, but not this year, due to our extreme drought. If you haven’t heard yet, a good way to remove leaves from your blueberry pail is to wet a towel and place flat on a piece of plywood that is slanted. Scoop the blueberries onto the wet towel and the berries will roll down while the leaves stick to the towel.
@Myth Tree No laws here, but when a season is good, there are dozens of acres of berries and what we pick is a drop in the bucket in the whole picture of things. This year, we had a drought and very few berries, so most people, including ourselves didn't pick anything, to allow the wildlife to have something to eat. We are aware of wildlife needs.
I have just finished video number 584. Watching on my lunch break it has taken a little over a year. I am not going to lie, at times I have said to myself watching Eric “Don’t do that!!” and then Eric will say “well that didn’t work”. Your adventures are a joy to watch. Eric, thanks for sharing your new tools (new to me). Some I have purchased for my tool collection. Arielle, your horticultural expertise is remarkable. Please be careful and take care of each other. About five years ago I was taking down a tree with my chainsaw. Made a perfect notch and felling cut, calculated the exact place it would fall. Then as I was walking away to take a break a gust of wind came up and the tree hit me in the back. My first ride in an ambulance to the trauma center. Seven staples in my head and many cuts and scratches. Stay safe my friends.
I have a whole new perspective in life when I come home from a long days of work I can relax and watch my two favorite couples encouraged me to take care of my garden in my yard a little bit better God bless you both and thank you so much
What a great beginning to the fall season; honey, berries AND pie! Season swoon!! 😍🤩👌
Guys, when you’re knee deep in it and there is an endless amount of things to be done it is easy to forget where and what life you’re living. With all the great content, truly appreciating everything Alaska has to offer, I doubt that you don’t appreciate (most) days that you live there and have the great life that you do. But, standing on the outside looking in, you two are living the dream and seriously kickin it. Don’t ever let the never ending chore list or impending inclement weather cause you forget that nearly 500K people have subscribed just to see what you’re experiencing. Cheers, Dan and Elle
Paused this vlog at 17 minute mark. The montage from 13:00 to 17:00 is stunning. How beautiful the different scenes from wildflowers to wildlife; just fantastic. Music is hauntingly beautiful and creates the perfect emotion to match the video. Fabulous. Well done....... can't wait to watch the remainder. You two are great.
Picking blueberries…. Once in Maine when I lived there. My first wife Maria Dee (Roberts ) had once picked them as a seasonal job in Maine. The very last time she picked them were for the Kennedy clan ( JFK’s family) because every year someone from the Kennedy compound would come to that particular berry farm to buy them. It’s a lot of work for sure!
I made blueberry jam for the first time this year, I used Pomona's pectin so I didn't have to add as much sugar, and berries from our highbush blueberry plants, it is my new favorite jam and I'm sure I'll be making it every year from here on out.
Again... just feeling happy watching you two. Life can be so simply yet satisfying. Thanks for bringing us along to see all the beauty and abundance
The photography was spectacular and the music was perfect. Bear heaven those berries. That was a lot of honey from the 3 frames. The excitement on your faces and in your voices was awesome. Thank you so much for sharing this. 👍👍😊
Congratulations on your honey!!! I remember my first honey harvest years ago. This season I pulled 274lbs from 8 hives!! If you have any questions feel free to reach out.
The secenery is so breathtaking. I love to see how beautiful God made things for us to enjoy
Amen!
Thanks for reminding me of the summer and fall experiences of Alaska. ❤️❤️❤️I lived there for 30 years and am now retired and living in northern Nevada. Nothing compares to the subsistence lifestyle! Just found your channel and feel like I am home.
I hope everyone that enjoys being a part of your life prays a prayer for you both as well your families your parents did a nice job your good kids
Yes! 🙏♥️🙏👵
That pie looked FIREEEEE 👌
And finally honey!! Over 2 years of subbing and watching the bees and no honey and finally pays off for you guys.
The music and scenery reminded me of a favorite series!! (Game of Thrones). They could have easily filmed some of it there! How awesome to actually have honey from your own bees that you have cared for !! That pie looks delicious! I’d like mine with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream!!
Your interlude was absolutely gorgeous. I also can't get over how shiny, thick, and beautiful your animals' coats are. They are definitely getting a great diet and wonderful care!
A simple thank you doesn't seem enough for all you two do to bring Alaskan living to us. I'm just so thankful and appreciate that you share a life that most people want but cannot have. I can go fishing, work in the garden, can food and enjoy Alaskan outdoors. 💕
I’ve been following you for years and it’s way overdue to say how much I appreciate you. I appreciate the care you demonstrate for all of your animals , for your land, and even your tools. I appreciate what excellent cooks you are and how adventurous and eagerly you experiment. The quality video and audio of all your episodes is exceptional ! Blessing on you and thank you . I’ve learned a lot from your videos. P.S. that’s a pic of Buster Keaton. I’m using my husbands computer ❤️
We appreciate that!
We never washed our equipment until after the bees licked them clean of honey and wax. Always feels good when you harvest your first honey!
My uncle was a beekeeper. He even put the honey spinner out for the bees to clean before he washed it and stored it for the next time!!
Wow, this is such an amazing way to clean the items used. 😍
What a great video today! I finally got to see how honey was harvested. The flowers and wildlife were incredible. The bear and salmon, and the blueberry harvest was so fun. Enjoyed the vlog immensely today! Winter is coming 🥶
Two favorite parts: Beau, my show dog….love it. When Aerial got back in the vehicle, put the basket in her lap and smiled. She looked like she won the lottery. Great video.
Congrats on the honey! So exciting! I had a top bar hive for one year. The bees absconded in October, of all times. So I cleaned out the hive and ended up with over half gallon of honey for the first year(and some great wax). I could never figure out why the bees left...no mites,no dead bees, just a dozen dead ones left out of many thousands. My neighbors said it was quite a sight when they left.
We go blueberry picking every year at Hatcher’s Pass. That’s one of my favorite places to go for the beautiful scenery!
I'm looking for a special lady to pick everything up and move to the wild in Alaska u up for that give me 2yrs so I can get finances in order
@@alanharmala4529 LOL
@@alanharmala4529 do it!
OMG --- BLUE BERRY PIE! ...Slap me and call me silly!!
Viewing that basket full of blueberry brings back memories of my childhood some 70 years ago. We took our milk pails and headed to the pasture where a coulee was full of juneberry bushes/trees. When the pails were full it was back home, my mother fired up the old cook stove and turn out a fresh juneberry pie. Looked very much like your blueberry treat. Thanks for sharing.
If I was only young...so glad I get to live this through you both!
Widowed, 77, with canser, know the feeling
Just a thought; A quick and easy "splash guard" could be just using cling wrap or even aluminum foil wrapped over the canister top. You two make amazing content! Thank you!
How exciting! I've been so anxious about seeing your honey harvest :) Really happy for you - what an amazing treat it will be what ever you decide to add it to.
Yikes your footage is so beautiful! The bear!!!!??? Just wow! The water, the fish, the scenery...all of it just breathtaking. Thank you so much!
I loved the sound of the first two blueberries falling into the bucket, and then the sound of all of them falling in :) What a perfect spot to pick, too! Bo even has blueberry stain on his muzzle! :) Bandit is such a character
Your honey looks so yummy! The scenery is just absolutely beautiful. I’ve never seen so many fish in a river, it was just so cool seeing so many. The blueberries look delicious and I think between you both y’all probably ate a pint each...lol... Thank y’all for taking us along on your adventures!
hahah I just did this yesterday to my bees. Removed honey, added pollen patties and syrup. I have dried honey down to 17% before using fans and having the frames near the wood stove. Your extractor is awesome. I have a really really old hand crank one and a little newer electric one. Once we have our wood heater going steady, we will be extracting ours. It is always exciting getting honey from your bees. A reward for our hard work keeping bees. I am so happy for you guys. Great video.
damn... 17%? thats so high... here we take honey out of hive and its usually already at 15-16% or even lower. i have seen it as lot as 14% of water
I love how bandit is always playing in the pond.... what an awesome life!
These kids are like my bucket list when you're 70 you don't have a bucket list no more. It's too bad we don't have a chat room where we could talk to the other people that's in here cuz theres quite a following. But myself I don't know how to do that on my phone but that's about the only thing that's missing here is a connection with the community, I work with these kids I take breaks with these kids Fall is in 10 days. I am instilling their home life into my home because on a set income a lot of their philosophy and terminology are slowly also becoming a way of my life and a survival for my life which is just absolutely fantastic I just appreciate them so much thanks Jack
Hi guys! Just wanted to say that the transition between the honey and blueberry segments was beautiful. The music choice and video of the bears was wonderful. Loved how it ended with sound of the wind. Great job!!!
My dad is a bee keeper too and has one of those spinner things. He gets 200lbs of honey a year bc he has a lot of hives. Nothing like fresh honey for allergies and of course the taste! He also builds everything - bee boxes, paints outside according to year made or added etc. he is a retired engineer so he likes to be busy
Wow, you guys literally have a free range zoo in your backyard, this is a beautiful vlog, loved the intermission before you picked blueberries. No wonder why you guys moved to Alaska, simply beautiful, exciting and serene
I like how Ive watched your dog over the years just slowly make a pond haha
Wow!! Your filming skills have really become quiet amazing! My wife asked at one point it it was something you all actually filmed. I swear it was almost like we were watching discovery channel. Amazing job guys!!
her smile with the bucket of berries in the side by side. pure joy
Those shots of the bears are incredible
Just got back from a week backpacking in the North Cascades, and there were so many blueberries and huckleberries!!! Great time of year to pick berries. Love the video!
So awesome to see the results of all your hard work come "gushing" out.
The videography, music selection and editing of the B roll was genuinely emotional and I don't say that easily. Nostalgia for a time I never experienced, anemoia.
Absolutely incredible you guys. Every one of your videos blows me away, but this one was something special. It will be a rewatched favorite of mine for sure. The footage in the middle is as good as anything Discovery Channel has ever created. The footage, music, the editing…just breathtaking. Thank you.
Blueberries 🫐 are the best! Thank you for brightening my day with your video. This is my favorite channel and duo. 🥰
The footage of this episode is the best I have seen yet of Alaska!! I miss it so much, so glad able to see it on UA-cam! The music choice was awesome!
honestly, i love him just, "diggin a pond, diggin a pond" activity. he needs a puppy to teach it to. teach a whole litter to make a breed of Alaskan Beaver dogs.
The whole video was great, but the montage is the middle was absolutely stunning. It truly showcases why being close to nature is so wonderful. Thank you much for this.
I love this episode! Have been waiting for you to harvest your honey! Just Love everything about you two...missing living up country and also have friends in Alaska so love watching your adventures.😊 did notice your other cat was gone. So sorry...thanks for the entertainment☺💜✌
The cinematography in this video was breathtaking! I’m so thankful that you are sharing all this beauty with us!!💟☮️
Ps… that was one of the most beautiful blueberry cobblers I’ve ever seen!!
You two work so hard to collect your food for the next year but you also find so much enjoyment in it as well. Very lovely footage of the hillside picking day. Thanks for bringing us along and for giving us a fantastic education!
God your images are beautiful, it's art.
The music reminds me of a tv show of my childhood called "Les Filles de Caleb" (french canadian series based on Québécois way of life at the end of the 19th century). Actually, your lifestyle is almost the same with few more technologies.
Your chanel is my favorite. You put so much effort into it and it shows. The final product is amazing.
Spawning season is fascinating. Everyone getting all fed up for winter.
Also, the Bo and Bandit fan club.
The dude is totally living out his inner child and his excitement truly touches my soul❤️ I’m here for it❤️ these people love what they do and it shows❤️
The berry pie at the end reminds me of John Kirkwood, an English chef, who does the edge crimp in the same fashion. Of course, so did my mom and a gazillion others I'd wager. Looked mighty tasty and worthy of your labor on the mountains.
Ariel is a wonderful pastry chef. My pie crusts are never that "pretty."
Great video!! Ariel looked so happy with her basket of berries and that pie looked absolutely delicious. I love blueberry pie😊
You have an incredible eye/sense of photography for capturing Alaska’s beauty.
This is by far my favorite video that you have made. I've never been to Alaska. The summer is short but so beautiful. You guys work hard for your harvest and have so much healthy food as your reward. Blueberries are my favorite fruit. I only eat them when they are in season. First they come from eastern Texas, North Carolina or other southern states, then they come from Michigan or other more northern states and now they come from Canada. I grew up in Michigan. My grandmother always went to blueberry farms and picked them for us. I currently live in a part of Texas that can't grow them. It's time to eat apples now, the Fall fruit from the northern states south of Canada.
Congrats on the cinematography in this video guys. Hats off to you, i actually felt like I was in Alaska watching that bear hunt the salmon with you. Incredible!
The visuals in this video were beautiful. It’s so cool seeing all the animals in their natural habitat. Thanks for sharing a slice of your life with us.
Watching the bear hunt for fish was awesome. Loved seeing all the footage of nature at it's best.
Amazing. That clip before the berry picking was incredible. Your video and editing work is far, far better than many professionals. Just loved it!💖
My husband's Grandpap had 50 hives when I met him 50 years ago. I always said when I retired I would get some hives, but have not yet. I love your joy when caring for the bees and Eric's joy when stealing tastes of honey.
Such beautiful content. You actually do most of the things we learn in film class. So intuitive ❤️
The up-close shots of you making the blueberry pie were priceless! No words or music needed. It was simply "perfection". And I bet it tasted divine!
Yeah, I love those scenes like that, or when they mumble the dialogue (in editing). It's a great contrast, and pretty unique.
indeed.
Bo always looks so sad, I love the dogs and the scenery is absolutely amazing 👏
Can I come and visit? I promise I'll leave eventually 😌
It's not sadness, It's wisdom.
That was a beautiful video! The scenery and music were perfection. The dogs were cute, Bandit playing in the mud and Bo eating berries. It was fun to watch you extract the honey and bake that deep dish pie. I'm looking forward to the garden harvest this year.
it is amazing how you can do that without a suit, you are such a kind soul. Wish there were more people like you.
What I've been here two or three months now I've never really seen a show like this it's quite addicting it's something I do right before bed for an hour each night it's just an absolute must to go back to the very start thank you so much it's very enjoyable
Alaska has everything you could ever want in wild food
Nice to see that you're using the 'Berry Scoop' that I mentioned last year. It saves a lot of time yielding many more berries. I worked on my sister's commercial blue berry farm during harvest time for 4 years in the 1960's . Oh, blue berry honey is great!
Cheers, Dr. Skip
Every time Eric stuck his finger in the honey I was laughing and think, "keep your fingers out of the honey!" In a school marm way
Me too, I was thinking "that's unsanitary" until I remember it was just for them to eat & they already "share cooties". In my mind I am able to purchase all the items they grow, purchase, & preserve. I gotta get some land...sigh.
@@toyajackson556
You sound like you never licked a beater. I'm sure everybody who loves this channel is thinking about how they can get some land... we could all be next door neighbors, and still never accidentally run into eachother, LOL.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 of course I licked beaters, then & now. And I am definitely trying to figure out how best to get some land, inspired by them.
Wow! What a stunning time of year! And a bear and an eagle shot! SO STUNNING!! Over 200K views because this is an absolutely stunning video! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Only those who are in tune with the land and mother nature can capture a picture of it as it actually is & share that pic with others. For anyone who is stressed, feeling anxious or suffering PTSD, I would suggest that they just lay back and watch your videos to calm their mind & spirit. Thank you for helping us to see the beauty of nature through your eyes and allowing us to live the dream of living in a place of peace and contentment with you. I look forward to seeing your next video. Like the old Calgon bath commercial....I let your videos "Take me away"☺. Sending you blessings, peace and love from the heart of Texas.
