The tractor was your best investment for sure. Also the machine that makes boards out of trees. I can only imagine how beautiful this land will be once completed. Y’all are always totally amazing and such hard working people plus you never give up. Love 💕 y’all!
These two folks are what homesteading is all about unlike another so called homesteader on UA-cam who charges strangers to camp out on his "property" and do all of his work for him like digging a hole, planting his garden, building all of the structures on "His Property".
I completely agree! Been following these lovely people for years. I’ve followed quite a few channels that are similar to this, but unfollowed them when they started to use their channel to hock their Only F@ns accounts ( dont get me wrong, people can do what ever their heart desires. But there’s a time and place. I dont go on UA-cam to see half naked women in compromising positions… I’d go to OF if thats what a was looking for) I feel for the kids of those channels. I love how these two, work together. How Ariel is such an amazing role model for following generations. Eric, he treats his wife like a capable partner. You can see their love through the screen. I don’t live like them, but I wish I could one day! Maybe in 25 years when I retire!
This panel can put out close to 100 watts ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxOqI2yqX0XVrhR2BMJciTWrHJpG8FhJyg when positioned in the appropriate southernly direction, tilted to the optimal angle for your latitude/date, and connected to a higher capacity device than a 500. The built in kickstand angle is a fixed at 50 degrees. Up to 20% more power can be output by selecting the actual date and latitude optimal angle.The 500 will only input 3.5A maximum at 18 volts for 63 watts. Some of the excess power from the panel can be fed into a USB battery bank, charged directly from the panel while also charging a 500. This will allow you to harvest as much as 63 + 15 = 78 watts.If this panel is used to charge a larger device, such as the power station, then its full output potential can be realized.
I normally stay out of peoples business and let them do what they like unless there could be a real gotcha or safety thing. Becareful of galvanic corrosion between aluminum and steel. A rubber washer would stop it or some other sacrificial material would do the trick. The new place is looking great. You guys are expanding and I am VERY happy for you.
Its a rare homesteading channel that actually takes the advice of commenters. They should have made the array adjustable too, so it can be aligned better as the Sun moves & perpendicular when its heavily snowing, etc. The frame seems too light weight for the amount of wind they get, most Ive seen are sturdier. Im sure it will all work out.
@@Userxyz-z2d I do not disagree with some of your assertions. I think the wind will be OK if they have enough weight in the cargo container OR have widened base added to the container. So giving that kind od advice is what I do not do. No one needs arm chair quarterbacking.. My solar is adjustable, theirs is not. It is a choice. This is similar to their previous system, and their previous system was also at a steep angle. They need the power the most when the sun is low in the sky and only up briefly. The fixed angle they are using will generate similar power all year. This so much bigger than their last one. I believe they are good people. I just let them do what makes them happy. I think they are one of the more sincere/honest channels on youtube.
@@Userxyz-z2d The weight of the solar panels seems a lot for the frame they are using and with strong winds that might be a problem but I have not experience on the subject.
You are absolutely correct. I mentioned the same thing last week. I have over 50 years experience working on naval aircraft and ships. Dissimilar metals are bad news.
That storage unit with the solar panels on it looks like professionals did the project. When a couple works together almost anything can be accomplished. We are 70 & 72 years old and my wife is helping build a 6x6 foot well house, it will have a metal roof using leftover material from the new roof on our house. Love you guys.
Yay! It’s a good day when Eric’s on the Branson. You guys amaze me. Both of you have a tremendous work ethic. “If you quit then that makes you a quitter.” Is some darn deep Eric wisdom. You guys should put that on a t-shirt and sell it! I think Bandit needs a hillbilly hot tub to replace his mud bog. It’s warm and that boy wants to splash around. 😉
It's pretty reassuring to a mere mortal like myself that you two high-achievers make a few rare mistakes and don't try to hide them like so many other channels. As always, thanks for taking the effort to record and upload so we may share in your adventure. 👍🏼
Don’t you love it when a plan comes together! Never lacking in excitement and Wow, Eric & Arielle, you are both mastering the 🚜! I must admit, I was holding my breath when you were loading and securing those top panels! Once again, Congratulations on another amazing project! 🎉💞! Now let that 🌞 shine down on you !
Eating breakfast with my little cousins (they are 7 yr old twins). We have been binge watching y’all’s channel. Currently Cason wants to be “a tough cool awesome boy like Mr. Eric”. Kenzie wants to “be a nature pretty princess like Mrs. Arielle”. Your channel has such a positive influence on the word and I’m so thankful for y’all’s content. Many blessings and much love from TN ❤
Any plans to dig in the base of your high hoop cold frame to extend your growing season? Long term could be to double wall the plastic with air between layers + full spectrum lighting for winter months. You are one of my favorite channels - love watching your problem-solving skills!
Animals need continuity, I am quite certain because you two give off the vibes that create the security they need hence the quick adaptation to the new place. Amazing achievement as usual. Cheers.
I don’t exactly know you guys experience with felling trees so please forgive me if I’m being redundant in my suggestions. If you’re dropping small trees this doesn’t apply but on something you wanna drop in a specific direction do this. When you make your front “wedge” cut to direct the tree, make your back cut start 6-10” above the front wedge and cut at a downward 45 degree angle towards your wedge cut. What that does is keep the tree from falling backwards the opposite direction you want it to go. Sometimes nature does what it wants and no amount of technique can stop it. Love your videos and can’t wait to see the continuing progress on the homestead!
We did three rows of four, and built a wooden cover to hold it. Hubby has a peaked room up top that houses part of the converter, and all the rest of the electrical goodies are inside the connex. So far, it’s been a wonderful off grid system. Even put our washing machine in there. Wish I could figure out how to send pics. You both work amazingly together. Ariel, I love how you stop to give hugs to Eric. I do the same to my husband of 40 years. Yours is my favorite channel on You Tube. Bless you both❣️🙏🏻
Very happy you're upgrading the solar. I've had a Solark 12K for almost 3 years now and couldn't be happier. Totally off grid with almost zero electricity bills. Good job.
I would mount steel roofing on backside of panels to break wind a snow coming from the backside. Keep pitch same and snow will slide to ground instead of packing up on the roof.
Great job, guys. One big suggestion: you need to have a way to protect the solar panels from the inevitable winds that will come. Just looking at your mount, the first thing that came to mind was to engineer a way to slide the whole assembly down the side of the container. Then you could strap it in place until the heavy winds pass. But I'll wait to see how you figure it out. Used to live up there in the '70s. Sure miss it. I'm living vicariously through your vids. Great place you two have there. Cheers.
You guys are now for sure in my "can't wait till you upload a new video" rotation! Such great videos! Content, info, length, editing, personality... everything! Keep 'em coming.
Ariel, you're so right! It is a movie screen. Drape you a white sheet over the panels when it gets dark at a decent time again. Build y'all a nice cozy fire and enjoy movie night outside. Projectors are so inexpensive now. I am so looking forward to the shop build! I cannot wait to see what y'all have in store for it and imagine all the projects that will come out of that spot. Congratulations on the solar upgrade as well!
It was great watching the two of you assemble what you had carefully conceived. Once again, you are thoughtful in your processes, using good judgment in your construction. Arielle is a hoot, driving the tractor like she was born to it. Eric, you learn and apply knowledge, building considerable knowledge base. All this makes for a wise use of resources and success in your endeavors. As usual, thanks for making us part of your Alaskan experience!
I just love watching the two of you work. I can’t wait each week for your program on your channel to come around. It brings back memories for me of when I used to work with my dad, him cutting down trees and me stacking the wood after chopping it all. Love to you both. Vicki QLD Australia ❤❤
coming together nicely for you two. Just a suggestion for next time with cables and pulling, put a coat or something like a heavy towel over the cable. If it were to break under tension, the coat absorbs the energy keeping it from whipping and could save you from injury or worse.
Holy cow! You both never cease to amaze! You guys did an AMAZING JOB! 👏 It looks better than professional. Such hard work...omg A couple who are true inspiration of just what 2 people can accomplish. You both set an exceptionally high bar and your on top of the world. BRAVO 👏 I'm really excited to see your beautiful homestead flourish. Sending positive vibes and blessings from Northern Indiana
Another little tip when you’re drilling through steel plate, you should drill slower, and even use a little oil for lubrication. You will not go through as many drillbits this way. Takes a little longer, but saves money in the long run.
You should cover the rope with some type of arrestor like a tarp or sleeping bags, in case that rope snaps while using the pulley setup. Good way to get your head taken off if something lets loose.
We stole your chicken coop idea. We stole your sprouting feed idea. We are stealing the solar idea. We don’t feel bad about it 😂😉 You guys are great, give Bo and Bandit a belly rub for us!
Try building the solar frame with a hand crank so the panels angle can be adjusted to capture more Sun. Lots of homesteaders hav put in Solar arrays & they can be more versatile. Ck out Red Poppy Ranch.
Awesome job ... remember to anchor the container down with ground anchors. The solar panels will act like a giant sail and in high winds may turn it over.
It’s crazy to see that huge array of panels up there after these last years looking at those two you have used since you moved up there. Super happy for you and really enjoying watching you both use that tractor! Thanks as always for the effort you put into brining us all along with you! I can’t tell you how much it means to at least be able to watch people live as you wish you were living.
One thing that I admire with you guys, TEAMWORK. You both operate whatever machine or equipment you have. I’m so excited every time you have a new video. I enjoy long videos. You are so fun to watch, no matter what you do. Love you guys and the fur babies ❤❤❤❤
I would have placed the conex far enough away from the trees so if one ever comes down it will never hit the conex. It's only a matter of time before one of those surrounding trees comes down due to ice/wind. Hitting the conex itself may not be a big deal, but hitting the solar array might. It's a cool array mount. Did you look at building any system where you could custom tilt the panels for different times of the year? That would be a sweet setup. Looking forward to the quonset hut build, I've always liked those buildings
The look on Eric’s face when he dropped the bolt from the top of the ladder 😂😂😂 I felt that in my soul…. I don’t know how many times I’ve done the same damn thing😂
I am so glad that those solar panels are up ! You two are very smart, brave, and such hard workers; but, some projects put me on edge ( I'm old enough to be your mother). Your channel is the very best. You have a " way" with our presentation and your content is always excellent! Thank you.. Lee
Fantastic, congratulations with the connex and solar panel project! You guys are doing great and I am waiting in anticipation for your next project. Kind regards👍🏻
YOU TWO ARE SUPER, Love every thing you do. You think everything out before you do it. you are number one in my book. Thank you for taking time for the videos and keeping us informed.😊❤🌹🌹🌹🌻🌻🌻
I just can't say anything hardly I'm just Spellbound since I found this show. I just love these two and they put on such a sensational show. This is the only show that is "can't miss"
💚 Wow, that looks great, a pretty large array of panels, should serve you well. Love that color you got for the Conex. Yep, the tractor is a great investment!💚
Wow amazing how good you are to put all that together ! It's perfect an your tractor is really helpful! You don'tneed another man helping you Ariel equal two of them!,😅😊❤ Good job guys !👍👍👍
What a surprise to see you today. You just made my day. The solar panels look great. Thank you so much for sharing. Looking forward to the next video. Love you guys take care and stay safe✌️🇺🇸❤️
Yes, you work sooooo well together. Eric said it, “ we are not afraid’ , you are young, strong and brave. Enjoy it all and always BE CAREFUL. An accident would be disastrous. The 2 of you did good.
Love our SolArk systems we have 2 for 7 years. Keep your array run under 300 feet to the Inverter. We also installed EMP shield on our SolArks to protect against EMP and Lightning. Just a thought. You will not regret capturing early morning sun. We did the same thing, early morning is when your panels arw the coolest and most efficient. It is also when you use the most electricity and your battery bank needs recharging. That Tractor is the Bomb....great choice. Ariel is such a trooper and you all never stop amazing us with your hars work, knowledge and teamwork.
We really enjoy following you “kids” on all your projects and adventures… Can’t get over how you research, plan all your projects. Sanity check… wouldn’t you need a larger Fire Break around your structures? Be safe and take care my friends..,
Gosh, guys! I was really excited as I watched you guys travel to get your tractor and bring it back home. It is so clear that it is probably one of the smartest investments ever! What a workhorse!
Nice job, I hope you will make sure the wind can't blow over the conex and solar panels. Maybe some concrete ankers into the grould or the ankers that the utiltiy company's use to secure poles that screw into the ground.Thanks for great video's.
you'll definitely need chains for the rear of your tractor this winter. maybe order them now so you don't have any supply chain issues when you really need them. things look great!
I just love the building and the progress a new property takes, the other property start anew, now this one is a fantasy unfolding. I will say i was really worried how high the panels were, i put my head under my pillow and peaked out. 😊😊😊
Awesome job guys! The setup is sure to do ya'll well when you get it all hooked up. The array is setup great, capturing as much sunlight when needed. Love ya'll ❤️
What a great couple! You two plan everything out and it always comes together! So happy for you both and this new property of yours! Lots of entertainment coming in the next few months! ❤
ty eric for wearing safety gear whilst using the chainsaw, it is considered so dangerous as a tool here in australia a licence is required to operate one
Looking good. But that is one large solar sail. I'm thinking a little more bracing on the ends and some cross bracing on the back. You don't want is racking and don't forget you like in earthquake country.
If you get a thumb for the backhoe attachment it will make live easier. Thanks guys great channel. "Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom." ~ Marcel Proust

“Thrilling “ probably a understated description.
Wow amazing how good you are to put all that together ! It's perfect an your tractor is really helpful! You don'tneed another man helping you Ariel equal two of them!,😅😊❤ Good job guys !👍👍👍
I love how well you work together.
Great team work you two, looking forward to the next project starting.
Arielle and Eric have been doing
a really great job on the land and
they are living in paradise out here
and Thank You for your videos.

What a surprise to see you today. You just made my day. The solar panels look great. Thank you so much for sharing. Looking forward to the next video. Love you guys take care and stay safe✌️🇺🇸❤️
Yes, you work sooooo well together. Eric said it, “ we are not afraid’ , you are young, strong and brave. Enjoy it all and always BE CAREFUL. An accident would be disastrous. The 2 of you did good.
Love our SolArk systems we have 2 for 7 years. Keep your array run under 300 feet to the Inverter. We also installed EMP shield on our SolArks to protect against EMP and Lightning. Just a thought. You will not regret capturing early morning sun. We did the same thing, early morning is when your panels arw the coolest and most efficient. It is also when you use the most electricity and your battery bank needs recharging. That Tractor is the Bomb....great choice. Ariel is such a trooper and you all never stop amazing us with your hars work, knowledge and teamwork.
You all are amazing! I just love your new place! I can't wait to see the next new adventure! 👏👍🌞
We really enjoy following you “kids” on all your projects and adventures… Can’t get over how you research, plan all your projects.
Sanity check… wouldn’t you need a larger Fire Break around your structures? Be safe and take care my friends..,
Gosh, guys! I was really excited as I watched you guys travel to get your tractor and bring it back home. It is so clear that it is probably one of the smartest investments ever! What a workhorse!
Way to go Ariel. Up o a ladder on top of the Conex. Would never know you don't like heights. Great job both of you.
You two have a lot of patience & great work ethic
Now your next tractor implement….a grapple! Love your videos, you both do such a good job
Good job on moving the hen Co-op, now the chickens have a warm place for the winter. And lot's off eggs for winter great job...
Good job!! You are becoming experts. The tractor is the hero on the property❤
Being that close to the snatch block and cable gave me flashbacks of having a snatch block come apart yrs ago. Lucky nobody was hurt.
Amazing video as always guys keep up the great work!!
Nice job, I hope you will make sure the wind can't blow over the conex and solar panels. Maybe some concrete ankers into the grould or the ankers that the utiltiy company's use to secure poles that screw into the ground.Thanks for great video's.
you'll definitely need chains for the rear of your tractor this winter. maybe order them now so you don't have any supply chain issues when you really need them. things look great!
I believe he needs beet juice in his tires also and maybe some tire weights also ❤
That is the best system with mounting on the cargo trailer I have seen-and storage for equipment!
Now all you need are Fuel Tanks (2) one for Diesel and the other for gasoline (aka petrol).. and make a shed for the outdoor fuel tanks.
To say that my heart stopped a couple of times is an understatement. I think I held my breath the whole video.
I just love the building and the progress a new property takes, the other property start anew, now this one is a fantasy unfolding. I will say i was really worried how high the panels were, i put my head under my pillow and peaked out. 😊😊😊
my engineering mind says maybe some additional bracing from the top of the frame to the back two corners of the conex.
Dropping the nut...a pause...’dang’ 😂 priceless 👌 looks awesome, great job 👌
I'm so happy for you guys. It's an awesome property. Best of luck to you both 😊
I do miss the garden videos and the canning but I'm loving seeing what yall are oing on the new property.
Awesome job guys! The setup is sure to do ya'll well when you get it all hooked up. The array is setup great, capturing as much sunlight when needed. Love ya'll ❤️
Aww that ending shot with Pepper is so cute, love it
I agree Eric, perfect set-up! I loved how your dog was wanting your attention with his tug toy. Loved seeing the cat! Hope you both have a nice week.
I much admire you guys. You never get tired.❤
What a great couple! You two plan everything out and it always comes together! So happy for you both and this new property of yours! Lots of entertainment coming in the next few months! ❤
I love you problem solving skills. Time and time again.
ty eric for wearing safety gear whilst using the chainsaw, it is considered so dangerous as a tool here in australia a licence is required to operate one
Love how you 2 have so much fun doing a hard project.
Looking good. But that is one large solar sail. I'm thinking a little more bracing on the ends and some cross bracing on the back. You don't want is racking and don't forget you like in earthquake country.
Anchor the container down so the wind doesn't blow it over. Cool project!
If you get a thumb for the backhoe attachment it will make live easier. Thanks guys great channel.

Love that tractor. It’s worth every penny and every minute you spent traveling to get it. Y’all amaze me with every project. Take care and God bless! 😀❤️
Alaska time!
I love watching you guys. You are awesome and in my prayers
Thanks guys, what a great vid. I'm really anxious to see your coming projects.
