- It all pays off in the end for our winter caribou hunting season here in Alaska. The journey took us through some of the state's rugged backcountry where we learned new terrain and witnessed incredible sights. We are thankful for the knowledge gained and the opportunity to harvest such a resilient animal that will provide us nutritious food for many months to come.
We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀
Thank you for watching and supporting our channel! 💙

Where have the years gone? Seems like just a short time ago that you two arrived at your little cabin with just a truck, RV and a dream. How far you two have come, UA-cam stars with hundreds of thousands of fans. I think we all love your videos because you are living your dream and sharing it with us.
Thank you so much for this adventure you shared with us!!! Love,love,loved it!😃👍But then again I always enjoy you both! Thanks again❤
all the love from Canada.
We love your comment!❤
U said it.
Eric is so lucky to have this woman I mean she just does everything they are just a perfect match for Alaska I just love this podcast
I like this way of compressing all these days in sequence into a compilation story that ended with a successful hunt. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you 🥰
It made for a great video build up. !!
Absolutely agree! Fantastic vlog.
Spoiler alert! lol
@@mike81989to be fair, the thumbnail sort of gave it away…..
Arielle covered in blood from cleaning a Caribou and says, "Lunchtime !" LOL!! YOU ARE AMAZING!!!
I wanted her to wash her arms so bad I couldn’t concentrate on anything she was saying 😂
!!!
Glad I scanned the comments. I guess I'm not watching this one.
That's was a great look proud and excited
My kind of girl.
I caught that too. Gave me a chuckle.
Great video...thank you for sharing your real life experiences...no commercials: coffee, AG1, Drevos smoker, Lion Energy ....just Eric and Ariel. You guys get it. You are the best! The Hollars and Sow the Land share life as it happens as well...no commercials.
I completely agree!
I’m a lifelong Alaskan, lots of amazing adventures with kids. You two Are. Doing. It. Right. Great vid, beautifully done. ☃
Thank you 😁
Wonderful video! You two are fabulous love your talent and persistance.
Was crushed to hear about everyone fav furry friend crossing the rainbow bridge but was wonderful of you guys to share sweet Bos time with us 😊 lovely videos as always!
Gotta keep that woman! The way she casually talked about her experience whilst casually waving caribou guts, precious!
He be smart never to step out on her!!!!! He'd be very smart. End up as polar bear food, 😅😅😅😅😅
I’m so sorry for your loss of BO ….. I sat here crying he was adorable as is his brother. Do tell are you planning to get new babies it will,be so awesome you are such good parents. Greetings from Spokane I love watching your show.
Right!!
@@Angelaselsthey mentioned in a video some time ago that there are some things they want to do that are not cohesive to having a dog. I’ve heard nothing since that though and they may have changed their minds.
@@Angelasels I didn't hear the part of the loss of Bo. It's hard when a pet is lost.
You two make the best videos! The stories, photography, and your obvious love of your life and each other is absolutely beautiful♥
Eric tying Arielle's hair back while she's elbow-deep in a caribou carcass is the perfect image of how they are the perfect couple. The way they share the work and lean on each other's strengths; how they support each other, and praise each other, and rely on each other is really quite touching.
The new generation of pioneers. You guys make such a great team . Be safe always . Keep on keeping on. Love your channel and content.
Perfect description! Love how they work so well together!
Your videos are the best! I watch them twice. Once with my morning coffee then in the evening before bed. I love how you are living and loving your lives.
That is very kind of you ❤
The most important viewing of my week always look forward to seeing you both
This long season hunt has made me think how grateful we should be for the food we have. To watch what you go through to harvest that meat is something that modern people usually don't have to do and it puts me in awe of you guys!
46:28 Arielle with caribou blood up to her elbows, “Lunchtime, right?” 😂
It has to be done if you want to eat them! It reminds me of going to India and seeing the women picking up fresh cow dung with it all the way up to their elbows forming round pies to slap on the side of the house to dry for cooking fuel later! That's what you have to do without wood, and electricity, and bottled gas! I saw they would stack them in a circle up and up forming a beehive looking mound and when it was tall enough covering that with mud to dry to protect the dung cakes from the rainy season. They would cut a small opening to retrieve however many they needed to cook a meal! Just imagine the women from the Western societies having to do this to make dinner!? I laughed as I thought they would send the kids out saying honey grab two cakes for dinner tonight!
Thank you guys so much for letting us enjoy your adventure. Enjoy for as long as you can.
That is the most beautiful scenery out there especially with the snow covered trees they were awesome but the scenic views were absolutely beautiful and the snow mobile rides were exciting all i can say is it is
so very breathtakingly beautiful there and hunting the caribou for food
was a learning experience as always another great video of Alaska
Thanks Arielle and Eric take care.🇺🇲❄🤠❄🇺🇲
Thank you ❤
The trees look like giant snow creatures!! Wow stunning scenery-this was my first Caribou hunt!!! Experiencing things I never thought I would through your channel. Amazing. Thank you.!!!
Arielle, I love how you stop to acknowledge the beauty in the details around you! Keep on keeping on!
Loved every minute, paused at so many wonderful views, you make us all want to come on your adventures, even looked forward to the harvest of the caribou, Alaska is one place I have always wanted to visit, you feed my thirst, I am disabled and won't make it in this lifetime, but I hope we meet up in the next! Thank you both for sharing snippets of your life with us, we appreciate all the work that this takes. Love from Australia xxx
Well done! You are the epitome of good hunters: always careful and law-abiding, and you take down what you can eat, with respect and attention to nature and environment. SO impressive, always.
Arielle, you seem to have such an incredible, almost chidlike, joy with which you experience the world- it's so pure and honest; you live with your whole heart and it's so wonderful that we get to see these glimpses of you shining, like you just laughing at the birds taking flight! There aren't many people out there being their authentic self like that; thanks to both of you for letting us come along on your trips like this :D
You got yourself a caribou, Eric and Ariel! Awesome Sauce! The scenery is beautiful. Hope you all and Bandit are doing well. Thanks for sharing this adventure!
We all had subsistance licenses back in the mid 70's and we got a big Caribou on the Alaskan Peninsula. Processed him over the fish hold on our seiner and split the meat between our boat and my skipper Paul Harder's Dad Ole's boat. Utterly fantastic meat!...even the liver was great!
I'm so happy right now - a nice long video from my favorite channel ❤
It’s obvious the care and time you took to film, produce and post this video. I know all of your viewers appreciate it. What a super experience, one most of us will never have! Congratulations!
Congratulations on your first Caribou. What beautiful scenery with the snow covered trees.
Blessings to you both. 😊🇺🇲
What a video! Vsual whiplash!!!. Weeks of hunting compressed into less than an hour and then suddenly, Eric gets a Caribou. There were wolves sneaking around and tarmigan flying all over the place. Ariel having a chat while gutting. And trees that look like someone blew foam insulation all over the forest. .Hundreds of miles on the snow machines. loved it. I feel like an Urban Wimp now. Great editing job. Suzi
We need to get you to 1 million followers!! The best channel on UA-cam!
I'd never get anything done. The views are so distracting!!! Just fabulously beautiful!❤
Oh my this is so me somedays 💗
@SimpleLivingAlaska I can imagine! You are both inspiring, and I love how authentic and upfront you are about your day to day journey. Thank you again for sharing your lives in Alaska with us dreamers!💗
Another great video! Somebody is getting very good at capturing some spectacular views that show their love for the beauty of God's creations! I also enjoyed the compiling of several hunting excursions during the season, that showed that every hunt isn't successful, and that in hunting, perseverance is often needed. It also showed how quickly an uneventful hunt can turn into a success story! Way to stay with it, and I'm glad that Eric was able to connect with a solid shot on a nice caribou. I love the teamwork that you two have on getting things done, regardless if it's during hunting, cutting wood, cooking, or construction projects. You two work very well together, and that's one of the reasons I like your channel so well. God bless you two, and I'll be looking forward to your next video!
What a fantastic video. This is definitely my favorite channel
What an adventure! So glad your perseverance, as you aptly mentioned, Eric, paid off! Arielle your sentiments at the end about the balance of understanding and respect you both have for these hearty animals, their beauty and endurance, but also your appreciation for the sustenance they provide. Looking forward to your caribou recipes!
Thank you, I absolutely agree and so very thankful for their gratitude to nature for providing sustenance and beauty.
I'm glad that trip worked out well for you. Thanks for the adventure!
Felt sorry for the marten who was caught in the trap . Wish I hadn’t seen that. The other one that was dead looked bad also. Hope the trapper was checking his traps every 24 hours .
WOW the landscape is Beautiful !!!!!
So cute, Eric says, "Well he's in my spot so we have a problem"😅
This video is how I had imagined all of Alaska looked during the winter! White and wild! I kinda felt sorry for the trapped Martin, and I've never seen one in the wild. All your time and efforts finally paid off. Great job!
Thank you both for all you do so that your many viewers can get a taste of Alaska. Hunting and fishing trips are always exciting thanks to you both. Work on the homestead and cooking and the beautiful scenery footage just makes it all complete. You two are absolutely amazing.
The views there in Alaska are amazing. Thank you for sharing. I can always count on you to have beautiful filming🥰. Your my favorite channel and you made my day today. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Take care from Cape Cod Massachusetts ✌️🇺🇸
Thanks for taking us along! What beautiful country.
As always, thank you guys for sharing your incredible adventures. Watching is the best part of my week!
Wow again! Picking up diner on the way back was fun to watch. Just can't get enough of your Alaska. Don't ever stop.
Love your videos, I look forward to them every week.
FANTASTIC ❤
Opening with the most beautiful snow scenes ever shown anywhere. Looked like a painting with the snow so thick on the trees.
I always love all your videos but there’s something really special about this one. Your tenacity is inspiring. Congratulations on the hunt.
Awesome couple & awesome life!
I simply love your channel

Congrats on that nice bull. I loved Arielle taking on field dressing like a pro, saving the edible organs and all. That's a lot of food and one always gets dirty making good eats. Just got to get in there and do what's necessary. I love your channel and I'm sure I'm not the only one that cried for that good boy, Bo. What a beautiful life you live.
Yay! So happy you guys got your caribou. Every year you will become more and more skilled at finding and dispatching them.
Eric and Arielle! Another great video! Fresh meat is AWESOME! It is AMAZING what you 2 can do! We are so glad that you take us along with you on your adventures! Thank You! Until your next video ~~~ Stay safe, healthy, warm and happy! ❄️🦌❄️
Fun and beautiful video! Thanks for taking me along. Be safe. KC Don 😉
Your caribou hunt made me envious. So happy you were able to get one. Sure there will be future videos showing you making caribou steaks. It will be most interesting to see the trail cam pictures next year. Glad you were able to take Bandit along on the trip. Be safe. Till next time...
Can't wait to see your trailcam footage 🐺🦊🫎🐇🦅🐿🐦⬛
Hopefully the bears don't mess with the cams they do that🐻
Great video. You guys are awesome. Thanks for taking us along. So beautiful.
Great video. Thank you for taking us along.
Love watching the older vlogs now with bo in them
We miss him very much too ❤
Naturally Flocked Christmas trees!!! LOVE It!!!

Congratulations guys! Eric you will tackle anything and get it fixed you are amazing. Love ❤y’all!

Arielle & Eric,
Congrats on the Caribou. All the hard work paid off.... and as always, "You guys rock" 😁❤❤
Another absolutely breathtakingly beautiful and amazing adventure! Well done you two! I love each and every one of your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with all of us!❤❤❤
Living your best life guys, thanks for taking us along.

Many blessings to both of yall,such an exciting video.Great job you two. GODBLESS
Ariel (with blood on her arms up to her elbows) lunch! Thumbs up hahahahhahaaha perfect!
Alaska is so beautiful always enjoy watching you guys. 🇬🇧💕
I stopped watching this video when you came upon the live Marten still trapped in a steel trap. I wish you had never shown that part of your trip. It brought back terrible memories as a teenager when I trapped a red fox (alive) with the first and last trap I ever set. Needless to say I had to dispense with the fox. Afterwards I received $45 for the fur but I could never trap or hunt again. I guess if it came down to survival then I could still hunt and fish but since that morning so long ago I want no part of it. My wife and I have enjoyed watching your videos of your Alaska journey for several years but this is one video I will never finish.
Damn i feel sad for that Marten having to suffer in pain and agony and hunger in that trap for god knows how many days...how is it legal still ???
Just imagine if it was your dog or a cat
How is Marten different from our normal pet ? Just because he is wild animal ?
OMG this was so good and I didn't want it to end and I could have easily watched another hour. You guys are unmatched when it comes to anything Alaska.
Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us. Wow perseverance really does pay off. Enjoy the fruits of your hard work.
I generally like your videos but It was sad to see that Martin stuck in a trap. He seemed like he was in a lot of pain. Cruel, I had to stop watching.
Awesome hunt! Congratulations. So good to see Bandit, he looked so cozy and warm tucked into his blanket. Eric the rule should be whoever gets the spot first gets to keep it and I'm positive Bandit agrees with me. 😅
I really enjoy watching your adventures and to watch Arielle just dive in there and then bring up lunch afterwards is just 100% awesomeness. What a woman and you are a lucky man! Keep it up guys :)
You guys are a joy to watch and follow. You are living my hearts dream. You guys are so intelligent and inspiring.Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Your videos are so inspiring. I look forward to them! Your love language to each other is magical and these adventures you take us on are amazing, to say the least. Thank you for sharing your family, it’s truly one of a kind ❤
We really enjoy tagging along on your Alaskan adventures, WE LOVE IT AND love you guys Ariel and Eric . You guys make it seem so easy and so fun in the middle of the tundra . Hunting and fishing so much fun xo
I like how you grouped the hunts together and made a long video. So excited about your caribou, congratulations and great job. So proud of you guys always succeeding at these things after persevering and so fun to watch!
The sound of the wind makes me feel sooo cold even though I’m tucked under nice warm blankets while I watch you two adventurers on UA-cam. Oh, the scenery is stunning!
What a beautiful compilation of caribou hunting! The scenery is so beautifully spectacular! I thought Eric was going to hit that tree for sure.! thank you for sharing your adventures with all of us.
I love that this vid was shot over a couple of months in the hunt for caribou, showing the actuality of it. So happy for your success! Looking forward to the processing and recipes of the catch. Love from Australia, xx
So happy you got a caribou!! You two are just so great to watch, team work. Beautiful scenery, great content, love when a new video comes up.
Some years back I read that caribou or reindeer (european name) travel in a very particular way. Firstly they always follow a trail but they travel in separate groups. Females or does always go first in a large group and then the bachelors males follow some days later in another group. So it makes sense you didn’t see any bucks with the does and that you found two males along the same trail after the does had passed through! Exciting stuff!
Always excited when you post
Congrats Guys! Before you know it, it will be gardening and fishing season! I started planting, yesterday. It's going to be a blessed year. 😊
So glad that you two are out and about. Our family is stuck at home with colds. Looks like fun! 🌞🐾🐕
We hope you get better soon 🙂
What an amazing trip! The views were spectacular! Happy you finally got your caribou!
Can't wait for the Caribou processing video, the animal processing... Process, is some of my favorite content yall do. Its also something I love when I go hunt, it's tedious and a long day(esp when it's multiple animals) but it's probably the most rewarding part of hunting when you see all of the meat and other by products packaged/canned in your freezer/pantry.
Following you two since the beginning and was waiting for this day: first Caribou! The full season video really gave the sense of the journey and makes the ending more satisfying. Congrats to both of you.
Now I cannot help but think I will make some Dutch oven elk stew this weekend. As a kid in Alaska caribou was always my favorite stew.🎉❤🎉
Just the best in videos. You are a well matched team and I do enjoy all of your adventures. You are both lucky you found each other. Thank you.
Beautiful scenery and the snow! Here in MN we've had very little snow...8 inches. Thanks for filming on my birthday February 8th!
You two just keep getting better and better what a great team you two make you are both so lucky to have found a each other and live the live you do be safe and thank you for sharing .
The winter landscapes are stunning! Love it…..
This was such an epic video-thanks for taking the time to craft such a great sequence, and YAY-your perseverance paid off! Your gratitude for being able to live your lives the way you do is lovely and inspiring.
I love Ariel “It tastes like cat food” but she kept eating. Love your show.
And Eric agreed with her,,, it tastes like cat food !!
Thanks for the video Arielle & Eric ! It's always fun to follow along with you guys (from the comfort of a warm chair. 😜)
Greetings from Pakistan.Wow what a beautiful morning,clear blue sky,snow capped trees mountains,road with a amazing road journey.
Perfect days for Caribou hunting.What a beautiful compilation of caribou hunting.Hard works always payoff,congratulations of your first caribou hunt.
Keep traveling,hunting,cooking, eating,working,camping, fishing, gardening, canning and smiling 😊
Hey Eric and Ariel Erik made a great decision not to mess with someone's trap line !!!! Beautiful place !!!
Would a trapper get mad if Eric had put the Marten out of it’s misery but left it there?
@@Darby0642 yes he would that's is the trappers life ...bread and butter for Hyde.....you dint mess with someone's lively Hood !!
@@D62121 I’m from Australia so know nothing about this sort of thing as traps are banned here. It just seems so cruel that the poor animal was left to suffer when an alternate solution was available.
The last two minutes were extremely well formulated. Keep track of them. I think you will cherish them for years to come. Congratulations on your persistency and thanks for allowing us to come along the adventure!
