We are building an off grid homestead on a remote island in southeast Alaska. Our goal is to become more self sufficient and self reliant buy growing our food, raising our own food and though hunting and fishing.
We put videos out every Sunday on UA-cam to bring you a little slice of Alaska.
If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment or send me a message
"The boat's still there."
Four simple words, but IMPORTANT words. 😊
Ha not the anchor of consequence but it gets the job done😂👍
Glad you weathered the storm. Happy Mothers day Diana and mom. Have a Great week and Thanks for sharing.
Thank you and you too Mary.
Glad you're both okay & weathered the storm,yeah lucky for sure,the boats ok,you're ok & the cabin escaped,now the work begins,clean up is always a lot of work after such a storm,sending positive energy & prayers 🙏 🤙
Thank you
😊 we are loving the music.
Very happy you survived the storm.
Great video 😊
Glad to see that you guys made it through the storm okay. Those trees! Dang. The hoop houses held up real good for 50 mph winds. Very nice. Take care.
This storm is uncommon for summer time. Hope all is well with you guys.
Good point ! Their are many types of herbs...lol.
Great video !
Cheers and Happy Mother's Day !
From POW
Hey Redeood hope all is good in your neck of the woods. Take care.
❤thank you for your video. The garden looks so promising and the fruit trees are doing well. Scary how close the fallen trees are to the cabin. Love your music🙏🙂
That opening was just awesome and I really like the music throughout. What a crazy storm!! Sounds like there's hope for the garden! Wish you nothing but the best and save me some rhubarb cheesecake!!!😛👍😎🇨🇦💫
I hope the garden does amazing for y’all this summer!!
Glad you faired well in the storm. That tractor sure proves it's value again, and again. Glad the boat did well also. Happy Mother's day and thanks for sharing!
Thanks 👍
Looking at those tall trees surrounding your house makes me worry.
Edit: That driftwood would make some great and free firewood.
Me too
Oh my, I'm so glad you are alright! We've had crazy weather in the lower 48 too. Stay safe. Happy Mothers Day Diana. Enjoy the day with your mom, make great memories! What a mess you had, glad it wasn't worse!!
Thank you! You too!
Amazing video, nice sharing! Glad all was well. 👍👍👍
Always gets interesting when trees decide to come down. They definitely got lucky. Glad you weathered the storm well
So good to get another video from you, I worry about you 2 when you don't post lol. I really like the opening shots and music on this one, you did a great job! Beautiful!
Thank you so much
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY I think the beauty outways the potential dangers by a long shot. I can't wait to get back.
I agree
When Diana walked under that downed tree, it just showed the size n scale of those trees...wow. glad you're all ok. ❤
I'm sure glad everybody's okay and very lucky on the house or a cabin I should say looks like you need to get a bunch of people together and have a firewood party you got plenty of firewood, the place I live in California there are I think it's 8 Black Pines in front of the community if any one of them fell it would take out the houses across the street it's amazing how tall trees get you're such a shallow root system
Ha we should. Have a great day.
Thanks for the update
Happy mothers day Diana you look like you are losing weight glad yall are safe your UA-cam friend Robbin have a blessed day
Wow! How do you cut back trees away from a cabin that are pushing 120 feet...😂😅 Those homesteaders got luckeee...😮 The garden beds look awesome, fingers crossed for a plentiful harvest! Happy Mothers Day Diana😊 Love ya'll ❤️
Thank you so much. Hope you have a wonderful day.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead It just got better..
You guys need to start making things out of drift wood and sale them, it looks like you have an endless supply on the beach. I’m glad you guys made it through the storm, keep living the dream, much love!
Hey Jay, that would be cool. Hope the family is doing good. Tell Brenda we said hi.
Glad the cabin is good and most importantly you and the neighbors are safe! That’s incredible
I had to laugh Skipper snuffing the backside of the chicken ( white one)😂😂
😂
Stop that strawberry plant that's growing on the asparagus crown. Don't pick many or any more this year. Those crowns are immortal if you split them every 10-15 years.
I am glad no one got hurt
Us too
Looking good Diana
Remember to pull and twist the rhubarb stalk, never cut it. If you cut it, it will never spread and get bigger but, will eventually die.
Glad you made it through the storm relatively unscathed.
Thank you
Thank you for the video glad you both ok Thank you Mike
All good nobody hurt the rest is just making firewood…
Stay safe
ALL THE BEST…
Thank God for heavy equipment!
You got that right!
been waiting for this episode glad to see you guys weathered the storm
👍👍 thanks Guys
The soil in Alaska isn't particularly stable either, making conditions challenging. I'm sure they're relieved that the storm didn't cause total destruction. On the bright side, now there's an opportunity to build that wrap-around deck they've been wanting. Nature has already done the heavy lifting, and there's plenty of timber available for milling. Your mill will come in handy. 😉 Happy Mothers day.
I’m sure they are too. If nothing else they have firewood for next winter.
Almost makes you miss tornado season had a few misses here in sw Oklahoma, be safe n live free and happy mothers day
I seen OK had some tornados a week ago.
I'm in SE Oklahoma, weather has had my fruit tree limbs bouncing off the ground here!
Wow those were some really huge trees! Garden is coming along. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for visiting
Good morning from Prince of Wales Borough.
Hey Jay. Always good to hear from you.
My wife and I made it a mission to get back to Alaska in the winter to see the Auroras. But, we had a nice show here Friday night. I wish we got to see that as often as you do. Happy mothers day! I'm glad that cabin escaped unscathed.
That’s awesome.
Happy Mother's Day 🌹🌹
Wow my head goes to oh look free firewood.
Happy Mother’s Day ❤
Thank you
Happy Mother’s Day.
Thankyou B and D , have a great week .
You too
Gifts of firewood for sure. Spared.
Good morning from the Houston TX area!
Morning!
Don't fret about the asparagus and strawberries growing together, mine did that and after 4 years I had bumper crop of both. The only problem was having to be careful when cutting the asparagus.
Good to hear y'all r safe! Btw, isn't Rocky the "taco" chicken?? 😁✌️😻🌻🇱🇷
Happy mothers day enjoy
Thank you
❤ glad your safe 😊 🇺🇸
It seems to me that right after a big storm is the best time to go beachcombing. I don't imagine you find many glass balls, used by older netters, these days. But you may find buoys and such wreaked from others moorings by the storm. I saw a couple well weathered boards while you were pushing everything back with the tractor. Your fruit trees are doing great.
We do find a lot of buoys and other teams that float.
Skipper wants some chicken nuggets lol!
😂 he just likes to watch them and eat their little treats they poop out 🤮
Thanks. ✌🏻👊🏼
No problem 👍
That's awesome that your fruit trees are leafing out. They're alive!
Who's cabin amost got smashed? That was crazy. Are you guys building a greenhouse this year or traveling with the boat more? Or both? I'd have a hard time deciding which I'd rather do. 😅
Yeah we are so happy the trees are doing good.
We’d like to do both.
... lucky ....
Them trees are no joke...Think i would do some major homestead tree clearing if i were living on your island....If anything just for piece of mind not to mention heading off any disasters...Think if they blew over that easily in 50mph winds its only a matter of time....Hopefully any major storms are over for a bit...Looking forward to seeing what comes next...ya'll enjoy visiting on mothers day, stay safe, be well....
Them trees don’t play😂
Would you do some cutting up of these trees or leave it up to owners?? What happens if urgent? & owner is overseas?. Anyway clean up is tiring but necessary. The garden is looking good. Happy Mother's day for Diana & her Mum.
We left it for the owner
We don't get wood washed up like that here in Arkansas. Can y'all cut it up for firewood?
😂 no I guess you wouldn’t. Some people do use it as firewood, we do not though.
did the wind come from a different way thats why they came down? cutting them up is a very tricky thing not for just anyone good way to get hurt can any of that on the beach be used for fire wood? great gardens, burpees has a squash that goes up not wouldnt take up as much space tell her
No the wind wasn’t different. They did cut down a lot of trees near that tree.
Thank you Jesus they didn't hit your house!
We are so glad no trees came down on property.
Plant some potatoes and sweet potatoes❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've never tried rhubarb. What does it taste like?
Kind of like sour strawberry… we used to pick it wild as kids and dip it in sugar before each bite 😊
Yes you need something to counter balance its bitterness.
how long have you lived in ALASKA ?
Been back about 10 years now
And that’s why people need to get over their unhealthy obsession with trees, sure they are beautiful but they should be cleared back from building far enough that they can’t hit it, only have small trees near houses.
Are you guys like a caretaker for the island?
No
Is there a reason you dodnt put the washed up stuff on the landward side but put it on the seaward.
Just thinking if you have another high tide it will block the road again.
Maybe it is some local rule.
The tide, current and wind will take the debris and move it to a different area.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead thanks.I originally come from a smaller warmer island called Guernsey so understand.
Loving the videos. Best of luck.
Will keep watching.
@@chipmarley thanks
Happy mothers day Diana you look like you are losing weight glad yall are safe your UA-cam friend Robbin have a blessed day
