- We take to the woods for a retreat at an Alaskan Public Use cabin. Set in a beautiful location this small cabin kept us and the dogs toasty warm. The ice fishing for Rainbow Trout and winter exploration kept us well entertained and looking forward to another stay at one of these unique cabins.

does the cold shorten the battery/charge of your drone?
If you shout at each other while you fish it lures the fish in.....
Merry Christmas ❤...Love you both ...Love from India...Lots and lots of love....Santa will brings you all the happiness in your life ....Merry Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas folks
Happy holidays peeps 🎉🙂
My Momma with 6 kids, always said...it's a lot of work to go have fun!!❤
So true 😁
As someone from Africa, hearing people say it's 8 o'clock in the morning when it's completely dark outside, or 10pm and it's light out, is crazy to me. I would love to experience that some day.
Heck im in California and I think thats crazy! lol
In the Arctic circle there are months of darkness and months of light.
I remember having a BBQ at 2am in the sun light when I was living in Alaska for a bit.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you both.Love your videos.Enjoy watching you two.Your an amazing couple. God Bless y'all.
@@jessicathompson236 if If that happened in Africa, we would think the world is ending and just die before our time out of sheer panick😂
The lack of color when it’s cloudy is what grabs my attention. It’s so black and grey and white. Now when it’s sunny I’ve noticed there is a lot of blues. So Bob Ross was accurate when he added a bit of blue to his snow. 🙂
Glad you're okay Ariel, you're tough and beautiful. I love it. I hope you two realize how rare you are. PERFECT MATCH. I see you two...but you only work as ONE.
The contemporary Adam and Eve! I love tuning in to this show. I eagerly anticipate each week for their delightful content.
I am happy that Ariel, the Mrs., is alright after the spill on the trial...and I might add that I've tried not to laugh at other "spills I've seen...but the clumsiness is cute...and funny, but truly glad to see she is not hurting herself...
When I am sweltering in Australia’s summer heat I watch these winter stories and it helps me feel a little cooler LOL.
MERRY CHRISTMAS! Eric & Arielle, Bo, Bandit, Pepper & all the chickens 😁 Hope you have a fun relaxing Christmas. Thanks sooooo much for sharing your knowledge & journey. Love you guys...enjoy your beautiful environment 🍻🌲

"Amidst the tranquil embrace of a lakeside cabin, tranquility finds its home. My channel dwells in the comfort of such serene escapes, celebrating lakeside serenity."
Seems forced to use tranquil twice in one sentence and serene twice in the next sentence.
Seems like you’re tranqserened out for the day
Lovely words ,even if there are nasty people in this worlds 🌟.
Merry Christmas 🎄
My son-in-law turned me on to Bustello, GREAT COFFEE!. His family is from the Dominican and he says that’s what everyone drinks if they don’t have their own coffee trees.
You should consider carrying 2-3 sets of mantels with you. The remains is pretty much ash and if it gets bumped then the mantel is gone. (There is no way any of your trips will not be bumpy). Really enjoy your adventures.
Always carry several backup mantles for the coleman lantern. Once lit they are basically ash and don’t take any jostling.
That , I did actually know . LOL Merry Christmas.
So fun story I like to share about my wife. First I grew up in Idaho trouncing around the hills all through my youth. I met my wife when I was in the military. She is from the suburbs of Maryland. The suburbs there are pretty much city the are has so many people. For our honeymoon I decided to take her backpacking. We packed in about 20 miles to a very remote lake and spent two weeks there. We had to drive about 4 hours to get to the place we were going backpacking so we ended up getting there in the later part of the day then started hiking in. I had map, compass, all that and it started getting dark before we got to where I wanted to make the first camp. So I break out the Coleman lantern, get it lit and we keep hiking. She's got the light because she was a bit freaked out by the woods at night although she was doing her best to put on a good front. So, I'm leading the way with her behind me with the lantern. About 10 minutes later I hear a scream, then a small crashing sound....and it's suddenly pitch black. Of course bugs are attracted to the light and apparently one had flown towards the light and touched her hand. She screams and drops the lantern, actually she sort of flung the lantern away. Wasn't a big deal as I had a flashlight and always have extra mantles but it's a story we remember and laugh about. That was a long time ago as we'll have been married 31 years at the end of this month. We're now retired on 60 acres, in the woods of northern Idaho. She does gardening, canning, soap making, etc. That city girl changed quite a bit.
Another funny exploit from that trip as I'm old enough and retired so now can share it. I was never one to smoke pot, probably have smoked it 4 or 5 times in my life (I'm now 58). I got out of the military just before we got married so we decided to take a little pot in with us. We got fishing licenses as we were going in to a remote lake and I planned on fish being a good part of our food while there. Well, we found out when we came back out and I talked to a ranger that the lake we went to has zero fish in it (acid rain or something...). Se we get back in there, weren't eating a lot of food to begin with as there are no fish in the lake and everything we're eating we packed in...then we got stoned. Not kidding, we hiked 20 miles back out to the car because neither of us could stop thinking about the bag of Oreo's we'd left in it.
Bloody hell mate! Those opening shots are like the cinematic open to Oscar winning film! 😊 You guys work really hard for the amazing life you have so taking time out to just relax is one of the ways no to be so overwhelmed.
It's 32 outside and I'm sitting here in my jacket and sweats watching this video, thinking about cold it is there. Brrrr. GREAT trip!!
Wait, no bidet in the outhouse? Count me out!! 😂
I remember an elk hunt it hovered around 0f, didn't want to eat outside so we stoked up the wood stove in the tent and started shedding layers. Sitting there eating and my Dad had a battery alarm clock with a thermometer on it. So I asked how warm we got it. Yeah...we got it up to a toasty 15 degrees and we were HAPPY!
Oh I love seeing the dogs out on these trips......... They have been wonderful, loving and faithful companions to you both throughout their lives.. PLEASE give them both a HUGE HUG from a Western Australian.
I’ve been following you guys for years now, and I’m so grateful. It’s a little dose of serotonin when your videos pop up, and I have to say it’s fantastic to see how you have grown as videographers. Thank you!
Very squirrelly riding thru them trees. Arial says "no big deal" laying on her back with branches coming out of her head. Thanks for sharing even the not so glamorous shots.
Your videos are a highlight of my UA-cam viewing. The scenery and your life stories are amazing! Eric, your talent with wood, electricity and organization is outstanding. Arielle, your bread making and original recipes are so innovative! Thank you for a safe place to visit in UA-cam land. I am looking forward to 2024 and watching your lives and the dogs’ adventures!
Lying here with a spine injury I'm so happy you posted today! I really enjoy the cinematic intro, the preparation , the hard work, somehow even the coffee making :-) I will never go fishing , but always find watching you fish very "educative" . Thank you and wishing you , bo and bandit and your viewers, a relaxed transition into the new year
Выздоравливай поскорее! С Рождеством! 🎄💖💝🌟🎁
Thank you very much 🥰 we hope your injury heals soon!
I feel your pain! I had spine surgery almost 2 months ago and am looking at another! Hang in there. It's a long, bumpy road. Until we heal up, we can live vicariously through this lovely couple, learn a few new skills, and be more productive when we're back on our feet. Stay positive and keep your hands busy. I've found that to be helpful.
Please don't say "never". My late partner enjoyed many, many sea fishing trips (on boats and landbased) despite sustaining a permanent C4/5 spinal injury as a twenty year old. 53 years post injury of working full-time, traveling in our housebus, socializing, raising my children , fostering many more. And fishing. Did I mention fishing? He was good at it ... and a local recently commented, after hearing of his passing, that the fish were now safe! There are quite a few folks out there who are more than willing to make the effort to get those with physical challenges out there and doing it. Of course, his journey was not all beer and skittles...but he was brave and adventurous, and life owed him nothing. All the very, very best.
thank you!!!!@@SimpleLivingAlaska
Happy Christmas you two from Yorkshire, England. Thank you for sharing your beautiful world and your hard work. Very much appreciated xx
Eric, always remember to bring spare mantles for your lantern, very important! LOL I think we have all done that once or twice.. Nice little cabin, enjoy! I want to fish also.. Good luck guys and enjoy!
The bread, cheese and honey is an excellent meal. Your bread always looks so tasty!
Just stumbled across your channel. It's educational, entertaining, engaging. Feels like I'm watching friends sharing their experiences about their travels and what works to make it happen.
P.S. you two are an inspirational couple. Keep it strong, keep it real. Thanks.
LUCKY stumble! These two are the best and the videography is second to none!!
Thank you 😀 We appreciate you checking the channel out. Happy Holidays!
Hey guys glad to know you're okay!!❤ I heard a story about a woman in Alaska going into the ice looking for her dog and got scared. They said a man and woman with 2 dogs! 💔
God bless her and her family!💔@@SimpleLivingAlaska
You should go back to the day they moved to Alaska and watch every episode! Seriously, you will not regret it!! It’s the very best channel on UA-cam!❤
You really should watch it from the beginning when they leave Oregon every episode is great fun and entertaining😃
Thank you both for taking the time to share your story with the world. I hope you can appreciate the joy and inspiration you bring to so many.
The silence at the river was amazing now let's make like horse manure and hit the trail 😁😉🐝
Can’t believe you guys kept those little fish 😂😂😅😅😅
Hey, thanks for the great Christmas video! I'm spending Christmas alone this year, so it's always a treat to queue up on of your vids and live a little vicariously. All good wishes to you for the coming year; so glad you are well positioned there in your new home for what promises to be a crazy ride in 2024.
Merry Christmas Joanne!
merry christmas from texas! ❤️
These remote ice fishing trips always make me jealous lol. We are hoping to have one next year in Alaska to make some memories with our kids 🎉
I love fishing for and eating fresh rainbows!!! Those little ones would have fried up and eaten just fine.
El mejor cafe =The best coffee
What a great little trip. I wish you and your wonderful family (Bo, Bandit, Pepper and the chickens) a blessed Christmas and a New Year full of love, adventure and successful projects. Love you both…..❤️
What a wonderful way to start my Christmas Eve!
Thank you both SO much for everything you do. You're an inspiration, I've learned quite a lot as you've learned over these last several years, and I look forward to every new video....and when there aren't new videos to see, I watch old ones.
Ditto😊
Me too!
When you said "Bass-o-metric", my mind went to the old Saturday Night Live skit about the "Bass-o-Matic".
Bathymetric 😁
@@SimpleLivingAlaska ha ha!! I was close!
So much fun! Yea. There's the beautiful remote setting; The Cabin and State of Alaska resources; The play with the snow machines; The fishing; The smart and beautiful Arielle with her always cogent narration; BUT above all of this, for me, (not gonna lie) there is Eric's cooking. I'll tell ya. I just love to see Eric and his frying pan. Whoo We! The best! Aand thank you so much for the Happy Christmas wishes. From now on Every Day ~ a little more light. It is THE WAY. So much fun. ～✨🌸🌟🎄‼️👍‼️🎄🌟🌸✨～ (nahampsha)
Merry Christmas to my favorite Alaskan couple. Thank you for all the wonderful and exciting adventures. You have taken your viewers on and I can’t wait to see what else you have for us in the new year.
Yay this is a great Christmas Eve. My favorite favorite channel ever whoop, whoop, merry Christmas to you guys and all your animals too.🎁✨🎁✨
Same here. I saw that WHOOP WHOOP. TX550
Watching do it comes off me feed. Every time I refresh page this is on here
Bustelo is the best. It's what I drink everyday.
The biggest problem I have with your videos is they end too soon. Merry Christmas! Thank you for posting today. It made my day.
You guys have all the good stuff in Alaska. There’s something unique about your videos that others don’t copy it’s like they are intentionally not scripted or edited out to the point of boredom. The conversation between the two of you seems honest. Anyway I enjoy your videos every time. Merry Christmas everyone or happy holidays if that suits you better
You know it's going to be a good day fishing when they are biting that well and you still haven't dropped your line in the second hole ✌️
I drink either Cafe Bustelo or various grinds of Community Coffee out of New Orleans. Community even offers a coffee/chicory blend.
I make Bustelo the old fashion Puerto Rican way we use a cloth strainer with a wood handle or plastic. Delicious way to make it. I put it through the strainer twice. I have not had yaucono I see it all the time in the supermarket. I will try it. Your trip looks amazing. Thank you for sharing your lives in Alaska. I live in NYC. Happy Holidays God bless stay safe.
I love how you always leave cabins in cleaner better shape 💜 Hope you have a peaceful Holiday Season. 😀
Sourdough bread and warm Brie cheese with honey for the win. I live in Guatemala and drink great coffee everyday.
If you like trout skin crispy as I do, leave the tail on. My favorite part! Merry Christmas, you two. ❤️
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you both!!
Merry Christmas! I have been watching you for years, since the beginning and hope to watch for many more! 💚
We've been gifted a Christmas video by the BEST! Happiest Christmas to you all! 🌲
Happy holidays!
Warming my heart to see the handsome pups cuddled up in their blankets!!
Merry X-Mas! And Bandit is young at heart and for sure more energetic than any 14 year old large breed dog I have ever seen! Bo on the orher hand just has a mellow soul!
Arielle and Eric, thank you for your hard work making videos and letting us share your adventures in Alaska. I'm always excited to see your notifications pop up. Have a happy safe holiday season. ⛄
It was fun to see our favorite public use cabin. Especially the drone footage! We figure you probably read our journal entries. Fun!
Merry Christmas to both of the most incredible couple on UA-cam that shows how to live in beautiful Alaska. They know how to teach and survive in the wild. They are creative artists and I like them.
More of you, Arielle and Eric and Bo and Bandit. Love all four of you.
❤❤❤❤
Merry Christmas to you kids! I hope your new year is full of fantastic memories, lots of laughter and success with all your projects! I prefer to drink Cafe Bustelo- but I'm a creature of habit. I wouldn't like not being 100% sure my coffee is good lol. I always love your Winter Wonderland videos. So beautiful.
p.s. I never thought about spicing up my bree! I'm going to try that!
Merry Christmas to everyone ❤ currently going through Chemo (it’s all gonna be okay) and your amazing videos keeping me happy and entertained! Thank you so much 😊
🙏🙏🙏

So beautiful, almost like another planet
So love these ice fishing trips, nice catches. Arielle hope you didnt get hurt.
The cabins remind me when i was a kid and winter camping so much fun although the scenery wasn't as beautiful as yours.
Have a Blessed Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 🎄🎀🎁
So fun!!! This looks like a cabin that would be fun to visit in the summer.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to Eric and Arielle and all of your faithful followers! 🎅🍾
Be careful arielle please don't get hurt.
Merry Christmas. Thank you so much for posting today what a treat to spend Christmas Eve with you guys. Love the winter views and the food as always looked amazing
Have a good Christmas guys and thank you for all the great videos 🐶🐶😺❤
17,000 views in one hour. Can you imagine how much enjoyment you've brought people over the past couple of years? I hope you take a break, put your feet up and think about it. Not many people have the impact that you have. Have a good Holiday, and thanks!
Eric is such a size queen lmao
Oh my…you two have THE BEST adventures!!! Thank you so much for sharing them with us!! I can’t even imagine getting to see and do all the incredible things that you have done and do everyday!! 😍🥰
And, wow! How delicious your fish must taste--right out of the lake and to the frying pan and to your plate! I’ve never had fish like this but I can imagine it is worth all the efforts you go through to catch them!!
Wishing you many Christmas Blessings!! ♥️🎄🎶🌟
Merry Christmas I love going fishing with you guys. Great catch. The cabin was fantastic nice views. The babies look great
Always waiting for your newly loaded videos.love the beauty of Alaska
Cafe Bustelo is my favorite as well! Nothing beats is for me!
Merry Christmas y'all. hope you have an even better 2024 keep up all the great videos
You both are having such a great time fishing. These cabins that you go to are all different. Enjoyed the video a lot. Until your next video,take care and be safe. Wishing you both Merry xmas and Happy New Year.(Judy NB)🎅🎄🇨🇦
Lantern Tip: Store extra mantels in the base of the lantern case.
Yaucono and Crema is our everyday coffee in Puerto Rico. Another real good one is Alto Grande. Most of the time, back in the days, you can only find the beans, but now is also ground. It's really good. Clean flavor. Trust me, not only I love coffee, I'm also Puertorrican!!! Lol
Thank you for making these videos. You two are so wonderful at the art of making your lives look so easy at times when we all know you work so hard. You’re a bit of happiness for me when I watch your videos. So thank you❤️ hope you two have a wonderful new year.
Thank you so much!
Merry Christmas! I’m having a cup of bone broth, listening to the rain and watching your Christmas video! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a safe Happy New Year! Hugs from Texas!
