They show us how to use products in different ways. Even if you go to a farmers market to get the ingredients. I've never been a fish person, except for canned tuna😁, but I once had fresh salmon with a sweet glaze, like they made, and enjoyed it very much! I didn't enjoy the price!
I know right!? 😆 Love it! I would much rather watch Eric,And Ariel stuff their face than others on that Mukbang thing going on!? Not sure why that even exists on here. I like to learn not just watch people eat garbage food.
@@duanechadwick331 "abrupt?" lol... dude, I've seen these two hunt and fish in ice and snow and process an entire moose by themselves. I don't think saying "stuff their faces" (with delicious food no less) is gonna ruffle their feathers or slow these two down. 😎
You guys are the best!! Keep doing what you are, our world is slowly disconnecting from the grid and it is important for people to know how to co-exist with their environments. More people look up to you than you realize, keep it up!!! ❤️🔥
It's so satisfying watching you both fillet the salmon, I was totally salivating watching Eric cut the salmon for the sushi 🤤🤤😋 And you gotta love that wasabi burn!!! 😄😃 Omg i love salmon!!!! 😍😍 Sending love and happy vibes from NSW Australia
This is probably my favorite channel, its therapeutic watching you two live such a peaceful life off grid. You guys are an inspiration to me and my partner. Now I want some fresh salmon 😆
I can’t tell u how much my wife and I love you guys. Down to earth and cozy. Wish we were young again. Better than network tv by far. Please don’t stop.
This is our must watch as a family. I have 4 kids and as soon as we get the notification of your videos we have to watch it together 🤗 and we enjoy attempting your recipes as family cooking nights roll around. THANK YOU!
The garden is beautiful, the food looks delicious, and the pup in the mud, what more could I ask for while eating my dinner?! Thanks for letting us have a little glimpse into your lives.
Oh my gosh! I miss living in Alaska! I loved going to Kenai and dip netting for salmon! My team part was cleaning the fish, right there on the beach. Being a Cajun country girl, this was a new experience for me, at its best! Being poop-bombed by seagulls, I just had to laugh at myself. There is no room for vanity in the real Alaska! And, I too love the beautiful color of the salmon filets. If y’all ever decide to have a fan come visit y’all, please consider me! I may be 62, but I’m a hard worker, and love learning new things. Blessings!
What a wonderful treat to see how your garden and chicks are progressing. I absolutely loved the sound of the crunchy fresh greens in the salad. It surely speaks of summer delights to be enjoyed . The flowers as you were picking spruce tips are a beautiful display of natures gifts.
Great video, again!! About 80% through I realized my face had been smiling the whole time. I kept smiling right to the end. You are a joy to watch. Missed Bo. All the best from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦!
Ok, you again with the salmon. Again?! Well.. thanks! 😁. Never boring, never old. Still mesmerized by your ways and your doings. Still an awesome ride with you two! Thanks for sticking around and making every upload worth it. Keep rocking in that free world and please say hi to Alaska from me. 🧚♀️🐟🍀
Lol right when you laid those salmon leftovers into the chickens' feeder, they stopped in their tracks like, "Whoa, hold up, is that fish?! 😋" Only a few of them were interested in the regular chicken feed, but the whole flock came over for the salmon.
Chicken loves all protein and the joy when I let them out after a long winter in their shed is wonderful to se. Jumping after flies and buds in the trees, digging for worms and bugs in the soil... But in wintertime they get a boost of fish to get some extra protein and there is nothing left exept for the spinal column and a well cleaned head!
Great job making the sushi 🍣 Nigiri is pronounced nuh-gee-ree. Just a friendly fyi 😊 Also, don’t forget that the fresh fish can contain tape worms and other nasty parasites. Freezing is recommended to avoid them.
Ok Google says nuh gee ree but in Japanese "I" is pronounced like "e" and "e" is kind of like the Canadian "eh". What they were saying sounded like an African country. Like Nigeria or something 😂. Either way keep up the great work
This is so true, wild salmon is the worst offender for parasites. Last year they made a cured salmon with alcohol and that was OK but this this is probably not good.
I was wondering if I should be a wet blanket pointing this out, but you beat me to the chase. 😉 If the meat is sliced thinly enough, the worms can be seen embedded in the flesh against the light, but the eggs are probably too small to be seen. Even in Japan, fish meant for sushi are frozen to kill parasites before they are cut and served.
I been watching your channel before I decided to sale our house and did my early retirement at my job. I use to live in Kodiak and Fairbanks. My sister live in Achorage for 32 years. Her family just fish and hunt but you two inspire us . We are moving to Fairbanks in July 2 just waiting for the Ferry. It’s a very expensive move but we love Alaska so much. We just bought 4 acres 4 bedroom dry Cabin. Thank you so much we need more young people like you two. Gresham OR
You two are living such a beautiful life. Fresh caught salmon & fresh picked salad from your garden. You two are truly 'living the dream'. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
❤ I absolutely love the way you two interact with each other. Great video, it's bc of you guys that I make spruce tip syrup, garlic scape pesto,+ Fireweed syrup .
I always love watching your videos. They remind me why I love the outdoors and why I enjoy gardening, harvesting and just wanting to try so much more things. Amazing guys! Can't wait for your next hunting, fishing, and harvesting videos! 🤞🙂
Happy sunday indeed! I was hoping for an upload from yall, and sure enough yall delivered a great one yet again. The sockeye looks amazing-I look forward to the day I get to visit Alaska and try some for myself :)
Mercy, talk about the fruits of your labours - heaps of home-grown greens, salmon you caught and processed, your own seasonings and dressings - amazing!! You must feel so good about it and proud!! Be happy and stay safe!!💖
Another great video- love that you show what is available and convey responsible foraging. Love seeing bandit channel his inner puppy and play on the water. Is Bo ok? Just didn’t see is adorable face❤
Of all of the vlogs I watch on UA-cam there is only one other I’ve not switched off before the end. Having had a couple of trips to Alaska I know how special it is, I envy you. Horses for courses, but you have me hooked. Your ability to keep the story flowing and never get boring is admirable. Long may you continue to enjoy your space on the planet, the effort you have put into it makes it well deserved.
Your having dinner, Simple and luscious , makes me hungry even though it’s It’s 1 AM and I’m ready for sleep. Your way of life is an example for this wide world that’s becoming madness…
It’s great to be part of a group who value “Simple Living” which does involve hard work, but a satisfying work that has actual tangible rewards like growing your own food, raising chickens, hunting, building your own buildings, being allow to learn from failures, which really aren’t failures, they are learning experiences. When these happen, it makes you seek out a new way. We have all been privileged to be invited into your semi-daily lives and it’s a great alternative to increasingly bad television. We love you two, even though we’ve never met. We love your pets and all you have to teach us. I just want you two to know we care about you both, even though we ask where Bo is. I know, he’s happy in the house. LOL.
The video and your prep of that gorgeous salmon was wonderful for folks like me who will not be likely to ever get to your area. It was fun seeing how much you both enjoyed the super fresh sushi and the other item which I can’t recall it’s name. I admire your hard work to provide food for yourselves and your dogs. And, the meal that Eric prepared…fresh garden greens and super fresh salmon…terrific. Thx for sharing your life. Susan
This has been on my bucket list. I've talked to a couple of airline crew, who on their off days would fly up to Alaska catch salmon and make sushi out of it immediately. Each one said it was amazing
Awesome work guys! I chuckled a bit on the sushi section-that must be delicious salmon rolls. Btw, it’s nigiri with a G not a J. Love the little spruce cones harvesting. I didn’t know we can eat get them!
I'm a gal from Hawaii living in a Florida world. That sushi looked awesome. I also make my own sushi and sushi rolls. I like making sashimi on a bed of thin slice cabbage. That is good. Love your channel.
I am working so hard to get my life to the same place you guys are at. Thanks for being an inspiration. I want to live close to the land, harvest wild game and have a great time with it all.
Stumbled onto your channel a few days ago, now I am hooked! Been binge watching and loving every minute! You two are living your lives your way, and I am so impressed with all that you do!
Ok let me start out with saying the cast iron was beautiful!!!!!!!!!! Bandit was just a bog swimm'n and everything is growing so good! It was so much farther along than I expected. You have 12 -14 weeks left to the season and this is the fastest the garden has ever been that I can remember. I'm hoping for the best year yet for you two!!!!!!!!!
Always look forward to see what you create from your catches. Your dinner at the end made me so hungry. (We really need a smell - a -vision). The garden is looking wonderful. Great to see the chicken's thriving & babies getting bigger. Always look forward seeing the dog's of course. Bandit cracks me up he's always got a helicopter tail when he plays in his little pond!! Really missed seeing Bo hope is okay since we didn't get to see him . ❤️ from Michigan
Never heard of making syrup out of spruce tips. Sounds tasty tho. The salmon were so beautiful. I can't bring myself to eat raw meat or fish, but by your comments, it was really good. Your garden is looking so nice. You guys make good use of nature's bounty. Love watching all the food processing and harvesting.
You never ceases to make your viewers hungry, when you cook anything! You could cook tree bark and make it look like the most delicious thing there is! That's what is special about your channel. I realize a lot of your equipment and special vehicles couldn't be possible without doing UA-cam and having so many followers, but sharing your experiences, which I'm sure can be a filming pain sometimes, brings hundreds of us to Alaska, and allows us to share in your enjoyment, when we will never be able to do what you do. Thank you for that! Do you watch any homesteader youtubers, and if so, which ones? Do you follow, and watch, and chefs or outdoor cooks, to find new recipes?
Love that end with the hug. You two are so sweet. Garden spectacular! Where is your other dog? I hope everything is ok. I know he's older. I have my special furry friend as well,she's a little thing. Best of luck this fishing season, I'm from Idaho now left the dessert of Las Vegas. Love the pines here, it's a beautiful place as well.
Id be happy eating the scrapings off the bones! 🤣😊 Such beautiful fish. They are so yummy- enjoy and thanks for sharing the joy and the work that you put into the joy! 🥾🥾🐾🐾🥰
I so enjoy your vlogs! And very grateful that you share your lives with us. Your zest for life is so catchy! The love and respect you have for each other is so refreshing. I keep watching my favorites to see if you have put out new videos and am so happy and excited when I am told a new one is out lol. You two keep putting out new videos and I'll keep watching them!
Just an FYI, all Wild & Hatchery Salmon contains parasites, especially tapeworms. I highly suggest you freeze your fresh Salmon for at least a full week before consumption. This is just a friendly advise. I worked many Japanese chef and most of the Wild/Hatchery Salmon they serve has been flashed frozen.
Thank you for the information. I wondered if fresh salmon could have parasites like other types of fish. How does one flash freeze their fresh caught fish?
And also a little hint with your knife: don't chop or cut, but slice. That's why classic sushi knives are long. Long, gradual slices will keep your rolls in good shape.
This was the first time I've heard one of you say "mmm" immediately after taking a bite! No surprise it's with sushi. We love your videos, thank you for sharing!!
Amazing produce and preperation. The salmon looks fantastic, wow!. Watching you preserve this world's most healthiest food is as much my enjoyment. Wonderful video!
Dinah, salmon caviar is the darn bestest tasting caviar of them all. It’s fresh, salty bubbles of joy and I love it on my sushi. Not easy to buy in country towns in Australia lol so I have to go without when I make sushi. Michelle
@@maybee... Blue Gabe and Kelly Young are two of my favourite you tubers but Eric and Arielle are my all time favourites. I’ve been following them since just before they moved to Alaska. If I didn’t have a disability and perhaps younger than I am at 65 years old, I’d travel to Alaska for a long holiday. Michelle
do you guys ever plan on taking a vacation or some time away from Alaska? maybe some where super different and interesting.. india, norway, ireland, japan.. i'd love to see you guys having fun in different places in the world here and there haha
YUM! I'll be right over! You never disappoint with your tips and wildlife and education on foraging plants. I admire how you live and try to be self sufficient as much as possible. Your garden looks fabulous. I love greens and your are superb! Thank you once again for a qaulity video. Blessings!
@@brianjay9811 got ya ! We have Scottish salmon here in England. I don’t know anybody who fishes for them, they are mostly farm bread and grown. That’s why I am interested in what you guys do. Thank you for sharing. It’s very much appreciated. 👍❤👍🇬🇧
@@TheoriginalANGEK439 I'm a salmon nut. A friend treated me to two Alaskan cruises, and was blown away to witness me eating salmon for breakfast, lunch, and dinner almost every day we were on the water...
Please be very careful! Salmon needs to be frozen before you make sushi. We had a trip to the emergency room when we first moved here. Research it online. There is something they carry that will be killed in the freezer.
@@StephenShreds yes, a lot of the salmon I caught in the years I was in Alaska had these little parasites. Freezing for a week or cooking until the internal temperature is 145 degrees or higher is recommended to kill them. You are still eating them, they are just dead. here is another little tid bit of useful info. A lot of the store bought salmon that are pen raised have them as well.
Awesome video, everything looks amazing, garden looks great, chickens look happy..Bandit loves that mud hole 😜 so cute, wanna kiss him...food looks delicious....missed Bo and cute black cat....excellent video
when you eat Nigeria you do not dip the rice side in the soy sauce you are to dip the fish side in it. Also, you should put some Wasabe on the rive before you put the salmon on it also you wrap the seaweed around the Rice and fish. I got corrected on how to do it when I went to Japan back in the 1980s for my job.
Watching Eric and Ariel stuff their face with fresh salmon and caviar never gets old. Love it! 💕
Stuff their faces is kind of abrupt. Consuming with intense gusto is more gooder.
They show us how to use products in different ways. Even if you go to a farmers market to get the ingredients. I've never been a fish person, except for canned tuna😁, but I once had fresh salmon with a sweet glaze, like they made, and enjoyed it very much! I didn't enjoy the price!

Makes me jealous! To catch, process, and then make your own fresh sushi OMG !!!! 🤤
You guys are the best!! Keep doing what you are, our world is slowly disconnecting from the grid and it is important for people to know how to co-exist with their environments. More people look up to you than you realize, keep it up!!! ❤️🔥
I'll second that!!!!
We sure do from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean
They are so inspiring and I definitely look up to them.
Agree completely form me in NZ . 👍
@@toripunk7652 Same I LOVE this channel so much!
May we all find as much joy in life as Bandit does playing in mud puddles.❤
It's so satisfying watching you both fillet the salmon, I was totally salivating watching Eric cut the salmon for the sushi 🤤🤤😋 And you gotta love that wasabi burn!!! 😄😃 Omg i love salmon!!!! 😍😍
Sending love and happy vibes from NSW Australia
Would love to see you guys come out with a cook book “Simple Living Alaska Cook Book.”
Yes! This would be so awesone
Oh my gosh! Your garden is fabulous!
That freezing rain on the greens at the beginning was beautiful!
This is probably my favorite channel, its therapeutic watching you two live such a peaceful life off grid. You guys are an inspiration to me and my partner. Now I want some fresh salmon 😆

The balance of such awesome cooking, resourceful building, foraging and harvesting, and just plain living is so nice. What great way to live.

stuffing their faces to hug transition -- goals
You guys are gonna live forever eating like you do. Few fish I like as much as salmon. But to have it fresh what a treat

long as you cook it.

I have since started making Poki Bowls.
Dinah, salmon caviar is the darn bestest tasting caviar of them all. It’s fresh, salty bubbles of joy and I love it on my sushi. Not easy to buy in country towns in Australia lol so I have to go without when I make sushi. Michelle
@@maybee... Blue Gabe and Kelly Young are two of my favourite you tubers but Eric and Arielle are my all time favourites. I’ve been following them since just before they moved to Alaska.
If I didn’t have a disability and perhaps younger than I am at 65 years old, I’d travel to Alaska for a long holiday. Michelle
@@bohemiangypsy99 Make me drool Michelle.
@@dinahquillen8709 😝😝😝😝🤪 I made myself drool when I typed the comment lolol.
I love ❤ watching both of u . U are brave to stay on the edge an catch fish. U guys are great.
I missed the other dog. Enjoy seeing you guys eat.
Me too. I asked about Bo???
@@annahevans8888 They most likely keep him inside I think he is a older dog.
@@charlieretro Eric has said before that they are actually the same age, I’m pretty sure.
I like the way you really use as much as the animal as possible…. Shows respect for that animal.No waste.
Your garden is beautiful!!
I don't care what anyone says...you picked the right place to live...so much beautiful forage.
That looks delicious! Always enjoying your videos !
I am notifying UA-cam to ban you because you guys make me so hungry with your wonderful recipes. Another excellent video!
do you guys ever plan on taking a vacation or some time away from Alaska? maybe some where super different and interesting.. india, norway, ireland, japan.. i'd love to see you guys having fun in different places in the world here and there haha
YUM! I'll be right over! You never disappoint with your tips and wildlife and education on foraging plants. I admire how you live and try to be self sufficient as much as possible. Your garden looks fabulous. I love greens and your are superb! Thank you once again for a qaulity video. Blessings!
If I was to buy a fillet of salmon in England it would cost me a small fortune, especially smoked salmon. You guy’s are lucky to get it for free. 👍♥️👍
Hip-boots, fishing gear, fuel, boat, engine, license, time - trust me, it still comes at a cost....
@@brianjay9811 seriously. Ok you put me right. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍♥👍
@@TheoriginalANGEK439 But, the more you do it, the cheaper it gets. That's the trick. (c:
@@brianjay9811 got ya ! We have Scottish salmon here in England. I don’t know anybody who fishes for them, they are mostly farm bread and grown. That’s why I am interested in what you guys do. Thank you for sharing. It’s very much appreciated. 👍❤👍🇬🇧
@@TheoriginalANGEK439 I'm a salmon nut. A friend treated me to two Alaskan cruises, and was blown away to witness me eating salmon for breakfast, lunch, and dinner almost every day we were on the water...
The greens look amazing. Awesome salad. Missed seeing your other dog. Hope he's OK.
Please be very careful! Salmon needs to be frozen before you make sushi. We had a trip to the emergency room when we first moved here. Research it online. There is something they carry that will be killed in the freezer.
Is t it from worms?
@@StephenShreds yes, a lot of the salmon I caught in the years I was in Alaska had these little parasites. Freezing for a week or cooking until the internal temperature is 145 degrees or higher is recommended to kill them. You are still eating them, they are just dead. here is another little tid bit of useful info. A lot of the store bought salmon that are pen raised have them as well.
Correct parasites. My wife was so sick we had to go to the emergency room. Freezing will kill them.
Glad someone else said it. The Japanese never ate sushi salmon until the 1970s when Norway started making farms for salmon.
Yeah only farm raised don’t have parasites.
Well, even I want to hug Eric for that meal. It’s always such a pleasure to watch your videos. Every single one. ❤️
Awesome video, everything looks amazing, garden looks great, chickens look happy..Bandit loves that mud hole 😜 so cute, wanna kiss him...food looks delicious....missed Bo and cute black cat....excellent video
I noticed there wasn't a Bo citing. Hope he's doing well
It all looks so nice...wonderful vegetable garden🤗
when you eat Nigeria you do not dip the rice side in the soy sauce you are to dip the fish side in it. Also, you should put some Wasabe on the rive before you put the salmon on it also you wrap the seaweed around the Rice and fish. I got corrected on how to do it when I went to Japan back in the 1980s for my job.
