I'm 71 yrs old. One of my deepest regrets is not living in a remote area like Alaska. I've been living in Florida all my life. I would gladly trade places with something like you have built. There must be a mountain man inside me. You have a great place and a fine family. Cherish it to the max.
Spend a winter up there and then say that.
Looks like a wonderful dog. Great breed for the location too, of course.
Never too late!
Great tour! Thank you. So glad you got a new puppy. 😊
I lived in N. Florida for over 6 decades . Packed up my belongings and headed to Alaska , but the pandemic restrictions put a damper on that , so I ended up in a remote small town in N. Dakota instead about a hour from the Canadian border . It's not Alaska but I'm not complaining . The weather has gotten down to -50°at times and 3ft. of snow with 6 foot drifts . This year there has been only about 2ft. of snow but the temperature has gotten down to -47 . I'm 68 so I figured it was never to late .
Your daughter is precious.
I love your channel, and I really respect that you don’t show your kid much! They deserve choice about having their lives broadcasted.
We absolutely agree! Thank you for watching ❤️
Just so you know, a 3-legged cat in Minnesota just watched this whole video and was absolutely fascinated. 😻
That is too funny! 🤣
That is an epic comment! Also watching their channel from Minnesota! Cheers 🥂
I have an Anatolian shepherd she is a very smart dog and she is very vocal.
She protects her area and her people(Herd).
She is also a bit of a loner. She loves to be with her people but doesn't mind being by herself.
Congratulations on getting Birch, she looks like she will be a good protector for your daughter. I appreciate that you allow us to hear her in conversations, while still keeping her private. Your property is beautiful and I love the cabin. It may be small but pretty and has all the necessities. I enjoy watching you living this lifestyle.
As someone who's doing it, I love to see others living the dream..............
Awe birch
Love the idea of the guardian dog for Leena. What a beautiful pup.

New subscriber here. I would love to have you as my neighbor - getting a gift of homemade sourdough and jam is everything!
Congratulations Dennis and Amy! The New York Post wrote an article about you and your youtube channel on January 20, 2025! You can easily access it online. So happy for you. And I enjoyed the cabin tour and the new pup! ❤
I would love to spend a season trying Alaskan living. I’m not sure that I’d want to do it alone.
I’ve been waiting for this ! What a great space !!
Thank you for the tour, what a beautiful and peaceful space ❤
Looks like the perfect place to be! Live the life you love. ❤️
Funny how we have exactly the same Shell petrol stations where I live in London
Your Homestead is beautiful. The new pup is precious 😊.
Thank you so much! 😊❤️
Lovely home and property! In the last episode, I was starting to wonder what everything looked like, so I was happy to see this episode. I also think your new edition to the family is super sweet!
What a great homestead! Don't need fancy! It's a home, and perfect. Have a wonderful day and God bless 💞
Beautiful dog very jealous, hello from Scotland 🏴
Here in Melbourne Australia we've had 5 days over 33c up to 39c. I'd like some of your cold snow, we don't get snow where I live. Just heat, too much heat in summer.
What a lovely cozy home, and a beautiful property. Thank you for sharing with us! Congrats on the new addition. What a love bug.
Such a sweet pup. You can tell she already respects dad. Good dog 😊
A girl and her puppy, they can grow together and will make a great protection dog for her. Thanks for the video

Hey guys thanks for the tour of the cabin it’s so cozy I look at it this way everything is functional and it works and less to clean a big win because I would rather be outside doing things then in a house cleaning all day I also have a homestead and alot of the work to be done is outside & Birch is such a great addition to the family a very well trained dog from what I see thanks again for sharing everything ❤
Love your homestead life: cooking, canning, your property and your sweet family. A #1 fan from Raleigh.
Love seeing your home! Thanks for the tour.
She's beautiful. Be sure to check with your vet and watch her hips for dysplasia. Our Anatolian was diagnosed at 9 years of age
It's great to finally have a great veterinarian team. I absolutely love your family and channel. God bless your journey. ❤
The best part of this whole video was that little sweet dog laying in your daughter's lap on the way home
Congrats on your new family member! Super cute!

😮 watching from Milan Italy... just incredible
Holdfast Ala this the first time being on the channel I think it is awesome channel
The Alabai is a beautiful breed. Fierce, strong and loyal beyond belief! The family you got her from has them socialized well to meet strangers, which is nice. Sometimes they can be unpredictable around other people and dogs that aren’t part of their pack. A true weapon in the right (or wrong) hands. Which in most cases is what you want as a working dog! Our neighbour’s take down coyotes that threaten their sheep. Theirs are very friendly with people but do not like other dogs. They’re working dogs though and not really intended to hang out with other people’s dogs which is very fair. I’d love one someday! Sticking with my mastiffs for now! She’s beautiful! Love the colouring. Our friend’s are all white (very dirty) 😂 Great video as always - she’ll be a great addition to the homestead
PRAISE GOD BEAUTIFUL JUST BEAUTIFUL
Awesome place, I love the rustic look. And that view is breathtaking even on video. I can’t imagine what it would be like in person. God bless y’all and keep you safe.
Your home is beautiful. And I'm in love with your new puppy too!❤ Thanks for sharing this new adventure. I am excited about the summer projects. I hope you'll be filming and sharing them with us.
Gorgeous cabin and fabulous land. I love your new addition.
NICE CABIN I LOVE IT. GOD BLESS.
Beautiful home and property. I love the new addition to the family. She will be an awesome protector for your daughter.
Thanks for showing us around.
Another great video! Adorable puppy, too 🥰
I thought our RV sleeping arrangement made it challenging for grown up time, but yours is way more challenging! 😂
Nice addition to your family, very smart. Your tour was great, Your making things happen, keep at it. ... PEI CANADA
Awesome Awesome Awesome! Love what you all are sharing and learning from you all of living with what is around you!!! Looking forward to all your upcoming projects and keep bringing your cooking, teas, medicinal remedies to the channel. Such a great family....
Don't think we didn't notice your homemade disc golf basket in the background. Good stuff
You are living out my dream, and I'm grateful you give us a glimpse into what it takes to homestead in Alaska
Such a cute space. I've stayed in many places like this in Big Bear, California, especially in the Winter, to get a few day fix, then head back home closer to the ocean.
Awww what a cutie pie . I love the ears so cool . Godbless you all
I love this channel, and I'm so happy for your family. I wish I was there. God bless and stay safe.
Hey guys, good to see you again.
Congratulations on Birch! I love her name and the freckles on her nose. We named our dog Maple. We love "tree names". I'm sure she will be a great protector for your daughter and all around pet. Your place is in a perfect spot. Your cabin is just about the same size as ours and adorable. We love the cozyness of living here. Take care. 😊
Nice....She will have a good home.......
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing!
A lot can be said about that couple...young, adventurous, fearless, smart, ambitious, hard working...everything it took to be a pioneer and to settle our country.
Great video Dennis and Amy, beautiful property, thank your for the tour, love your plans for it and tapping into the Birch Trees for sap and Birch water pretty awesome way to make extra income. Congratulations on your new family member, such a cute Puppy❤lucky Lena her new BFF............Love Blessings from Santa Fe, NM🙏🤟
