Вставка

- As the snow melts the mud gets deeper! And since Spring is here it means tons of projects around the property. Our solar and water supply are up and running.
Thank you for following along on our adventure!
Katie & Chris
Your videos are brilliantly produced. Everything flows together so naturally and effortlessly. I know it is a lot of hard work for you to make them that way. Thank you. Very well done.
Thank you for your kind words! 😊
That moose is thinking where did these Hoomans come from? This use to be a nice private estate ..
Haha yep!
Just found your channel and like the content gunna catch up on all videos
Welcome! We are happy to have you. We are very busy and have more content coming! 😄
I hope to see how you develop your spring. But I’m glad you have good water available close by for now.
@kathleenpitt1981 look for that video next weekend 😊
Wonderful that you have a natural spring so close! You Two make a good team and love see the progress! 💜
Yes, it has been nice. It is quite the drive to get there, but it has been worth it for good water. We have recently capped our spring on our property, so we do not have to leave home for water! We will have a video on that adventure soon!
Nature videos at the end are awesome!!!+
Glad you enjoyed it! We love seeing the animals and scenery here 😃
Hey Chris.....you should get a Milwaukee sponsorship!!! Thank goodness for battery tools!
Haha! I would gladly take a sponsorship, I could use a few more tools that I don't have, like a battery-operated table saw. They will get a lot of air time when we post videos of us building our cabin...😅 we will more than likely never have grid electricity in our area, so the battery tools really are an advantage out here not needing to run a generator. Just recharge spares with solar and keep on working. Our entire rv is run off a 10kw lithium battery bank recharged by solar. It has made life a lot easier out here.
Thanks for sharing! Really enjoy your channel!
Thank you! We are glad you are enjoying it 😊
You have a great channel, look forward to following your progress.. Doing a wonderful job on the editing btw. Take care
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are glad to have you😊
Groovy video🥰🌻🐝
Thank you! 😀
Nice looking moose. Can you coax her home and into your freezers.? Wishing you a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings together. Greetings from NE Ohio on the southern shore of the Great Swamp Erie. Peace
The great swamp, Erie. Haha, I haven't heard that one. The moose was only 50 yards from our freezer! We hope to put one in it next fall. To get a resident hunting license in alaska, you have to live here an entire year first. So next season, we will be out hunting the big game!
@@northtoalaska2022 Erie is the shallowest of the five Great Lakes. In the late 60’s and before the formation of the EPA many near shore areas of Erie were swamps with overgrown plants and rampant pollution. The pollution and chemical spills were so frequent that the Cuyahoga River caught fire TWICE ! Fairly problematic since the coast guard fire boats routinely pumped water from the river to spray on burning vessels.
@catgynt9148 This is interesting and terrifying at the same time! I can not imagine a river becoming flammable from pollution.... I hope they have got a better grip on it now and are working to keep it cleaner. That is terrible.
We have a well at our house. The water is pure and cold all year round. Always nice to have water with NO additives in it. Take care and stay safe: From Petawawa, Ontario. PS: nice to have the wildlife around as long as they are not a pest.
Ahh, yes ! We both grew up having personal wells at home. It's hard to beat fresh well and spring water! We love seeing the wildlife, and so far, we have only had friendly encounters. Thanks for watching 🙂
Wonderful scenery - Great that you have spring water so close - New to your channel, and doing a marathon of your vids - Good stuff... Keep up the good work - stay safe and Thanks for sharing..... We're in rural central Ontario, Canada....
Thank you! I bet it's beautiful where you are!
It is fantastic that we have a public spring nearby that the locals can use. We actually found a spring on our property that we hope to collect water from! The video will be coming soon 😀
I just found the channel, watching from beginning. Saw central Ontario… my folks had a dry cabin in Gowganda, which was pretty remote 55 years ago when they bought it. Unfortunately my Mom sold it after my dad passed but I grew up spending summers there. The spring brought back memories! Gowganda had a public spring where we went to get water. It was such cold, clear refreshing water.
Great video. Love to see you guys get your hands dirty and use your heads to get things done. You have a lot of work ahead of you but you will look back on this and smile and be very proud of what you guys accomplished. There will be tough days but stay positive. Enjoy life to the fullest. Take care.
Thank you 🙂
I'm curious if you have enough wind to justify putting up a wind generation system to make up for no sun days?
I hope the spring on your place works out for you. That would be awesome.
Wells are so expensive up here
Thankfully it did work out for us! We have already developed it. Will have a video out soon on it to share 🙂 we are very grateful to have it... like you said, wells are very overpriced in this state...
Just found your channel, best wishes to you in your journey!❤️❤️from south east pa. ✌️
Haha, small world, we are originally from the southeast pa! Thanks for the best wishes! 🙂
@@northtoalaska2022 how about that!🙂✌️
Enjoying your site! Just curious why solar panels instead of wind turbines? With the short amount of daylight in winter along with the frequent rain/overcast sky wouldn't wind power be a more reliable year-round energy option? Thank you for your wonderful videos, very best Mary Ann
Your channel is a good learning tool for what to expect for prospective buyers. I can't wait to get my land
Thank you! We certainly hope that we can help others who are looking to do the same thing. Everyone will have quite a different experience as each piece of land is vastly different from the next.
Best of luck to you and your endeavors!
You should use cpvc nipples and then female adapters instead of male adapters at the bottom of those tanks. The male adapters are weak spots where they transfer from thread to slip. Just a little plumbing experience. Anyway keep up the good work 👍🏻
Thank you!
If you put some mulch on the mud spots, it will help a ton .
Ahh yes, the mud was so bad for a while. Maybe eventually we can get a chipper to make mulch.
❤❤❤
Glad you are enjoying all our videos 🙂 thank you!
I hope you ve got newer pannels now..old ones are quite bad in shady time...i m dumping some 250w ones for 550w new ones..you also win extra space..
We will upgrade to large bifacial panels in the future. This is a very temporary setup, we are working on building a home to live in at this time.
@@northtoalaska2022 i know!:) good good..
Looks like you could use that to power a solar death ray.😮
Please get a wide mouth funnel for those water runs it’ll save you time
We have developed a spring at home so we no longer need to use the one in this video. Thanks for watching 🙂
Det finns skogs kedja egentligen gjorda åt skogsmaskiner men dom är bra
Durring the winter can you use wind power to charge batteries for power?
That is a good possibility! We will look into that in the future 🙂
👏👏👏👏💪
Why did you not mount the solar panels on top of the RV.
Please please tell me the name and model number of those chest rigs you are running. Love them. Oh just started binging your channel. What part of the northeast are y’all from?
Hello 👋 we lived in Southern Pennsylvania prior to alaska 🙂 the chest rig chris has is made by Hoskings holsters in Idaho. They have a great website, and they have an Amazon store aswell. The product is top-notch quality. The other holster we can unfortunately not recommend, and we will be replacing it with a Hoskings holster. Hope you are enjoying our videos 😃
@@northtoalaska2022 thank you for the information, I just ordered one…
Just the usual domesticated moose. Make him the next pet lmfao.
Lol 😆
😎👍👍
So what is strapped to your chest 9mm ??
10mm. 9 may be insufficient for brown bear attacks.
Heck yeah bro I take it you have other stuff too but in safe keeping
you're in alaska now, you can't call it mud season. you have to call it break up. that sounds more alaskan. lol
Kind of like calling snow mobiles snow machines 😅
Why do we have so many UA-camrs going to Alaska ??? lol. Big NOPE foe me ! enjoy the mosquitoes !
Hi Benny. We can not speak for other youtubers, but here are some of our thoughts. The mosquito bloom lasted about 2 to 3 weeks in our area, not bad if you use spray or proper clothing. Alaska is the most free state you can live in, period. Low to no taxes, no building permit or regulation, relaxed laws. You do what you want how you want when living outside city limits in alaska. Water, wild food, and wood to build/ heat with are very abundant natural resources here as well. We personally did not move here to become "youtubers" only to build our dream. Out of curiosity, what state do you feel is much better? Have you ever visited alaska? Thanks for watching 🙂
