Let's Get this Move On | Mystery Tracks & More Snow at the New Property
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- We are eager to start the moving process even if it's still winter in Alaska. We pick up an enclosed trailer and move the Shelterlogic along with many other items to our new property. It's no surprise when we arrive we don't make it up the driveway on the first try but when we do we are perplexed by the hundreds of animal tracks leading up to the cabin.
We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀
Thank you for watching and supporting our channel! 💙

Having a partner that loves doing what you love doing is a monumental achievement!
Only way for a happy long marriage
agreed.
definite life goals
And, it's kinda like a Bob Ross painting - start w/ the outline, some basic colors, adjustments, etc etc. and then what unfolds, after years of work that is always present, one arrives with a beautiful painting that reflects not only what they've painted but their influences along the way. ...it also takes an element of idk if I'd call it lucky...but an element of 'meant to be'.
Amen!🫠
A low-ticket item for sometime when you have extra time (ha ha) is to mill some live-edge siding planks to install on that conex to camouflage it so that it doesn't look so industrial. Of course, your Quanset hut 'shop' is going to look out of place, too. I'm so happy for you that you're gonna have a HUGE kitchen, and a TABLE to sit down for meals. You mentioned bringing the chickens... are you planing on having a garden and/or a high-tunnel at the new homestead? I can't imagine y'all not growing your own food and canning it. That's 80% of the fun of your videos.
At the end of a hard week my treat is sitting down and watching your content. I love you guys and everything you do. The world needs more Eric and Ariels.
a billion likes
DITTO THAT Deborah from Debrah lolll
Ditto that Deborah and Debra from another Deborah.😂😅❤
Yes, yes, YES!
Same! My husband and I sit down to watch their content.
The view of the mountains during your ride was absolutely stunning. It’s so great that y’all are able to move just a little ( a lot )at a time instead of everything at once. That is such a great help to y’all. Boy was there some snow. The caribou at the end was awesome.
Glad to see Curly showed up to help pack up the trailer! He seems to show up only when there is fun to be had, so good to see him working for a change! So, can you eat the caribou?
Lol I noticed that as well! He hasn't made an appearance in a while ;)
I was looking at the screen like who in the world is that! 😂😂
WHAT? I watched entire video and didn't see any "Curly"---no idea what you are talking about???
@@doublerainbowsdoublerainbo7906 You can see some curly hair under his hat. I noticed it right away. I think it was put in to see of anyone would notice it! Yep most of us sure did. Way to go Eric.
@@doublerainbowsdoublerainbo7906 He first shows up at 6:36, and he doesn't stay long! A real goof off, for sure.
Huge. Tip for getting poles and tents out of frozen ground. Rock salt, let it do the work for you. Once you have it out, rinse off to get salt residue off canvas.
Adds a new dimension to the expression: "Working your socks off". The amount of work and effort you put in just doing this move alone is amazing! I never thought I would have so much eager anticipation for what is coming next for you. The very best with your move and what the next months will bring. Much respect and admiration to you both and of course Bo and Bandit.
Watching you both work together makes you realize how awesome it is to have someone who's shares your goals , you always compliment each other and show appreciation for each other's accomplishments Eric did a great job with this Ariel did a great job making this you both are so kind to each other true soul mates .BEST CONTENT ON YOU TUBE
Your new place is absolutely gorgeous!!! You both are an inspiration for the younger generation!
I’ve been waiting for this, I’m so excited for you guys. You work so hard, but I would rather work hard than be in a daily 9-5 grind. There is a freedom and peace of mind working for yourself that you don’t get working for someone else. You guys be careful and know that we are all supporting you, love to you both, the doggies, kitty, and chickens.
Moving is full on. Lovely to see how gentle you are with each other :-)
6:39 Eric rockin' an awesome wig🤣 LOVE IT!!!
You guys work so hard! I’m so grateful and envious you found each other. I only wish I could find a partner who loves and respects me the way that you 2 do. Such a pleasure to watch you. 🥰
The amount of physical work you guys do is beyond my understanding! I'm 76 now but I couldn't imagine doing what you do when I was in my 30's.
😂 Eric and that wig! 😂 Love it! So funny! 😂
I came to the comments just to see who else caught it!
Being excited about animal scat is the essence of the human experience, that’s what we love about you guys. Not so yippity bippity about the waist high snow, but we were very cheerful when a few flakes fell as we exited church this morning as it seemed so perfectly iconic of winter :) Cheers guys, super happy for your move and your future. The beauty there is breathtaking.
You guys bring such peace and joy to my life. The way you celebrate each other is so admirable. I hope everything goes smoothly!
America seems to have many opportunities if you're prepared to work hard. I WISH I WAS BORN THERE.
How exciting! What an adventure this is becoming! Loved the Caribou!
@Eric & Arielle THANKYOU !!!! How is it possible to sit here and watch you pack up your possessions and travel to your new home,abd enjoy it so much. You 2 are phenomenal in your energy & commitment. It's such a blessing to watch such a compatible couple go about their business with love & respect. Even if there's melt downs or aggravation off camera, the foundation of this marriage is as solid as a rock !!! You bless me every time I watch you in your videos. WHAT an adventure we are in for this Spring. Much love & encouragement from Australia 🇦🇺🤗💞🙏👏✌️👍😍🇺🇲
Eric’s save was so smooth! He knew, it was worse to lose the shot than to go face first into the snow 😂😂 good luck, yall ❤ I’m looking forward to seeing all your new new.
You guys never quite...whether it's projects to make your life better, fishing, hunting, and exploring. It's good to do it while your young, and your bodies recover from injury a lot faster. Be careful, stay safe, and best wishes for your move and settling in to your new homestead!
Thank you for allowing us to live vicariously through you and through your videos!
Wow, nothing stops you two! Great working together! That’s how you get things done! You will do it , one move at a time! ❤
You two are GREAT! Just remember, move is a four letter word! LOL Remember in the conex, vertical space is your friend. Think of something like your scaffold made out of 2x4's, about 2' X 8' x 6' tall. One on each side near the back with 2x4's going across at the highest shelf to keep them extremely stable. I made mine out of 2x4's and 3 1/2" plywood shelves on 2x4 frames with two cross braces and have not been concerned about how much I put on them. The bottom shelf sits on the floor for more stability. I think this is similar to what you had in the conex at the old place. Love your channel!
Looking forward to Caribou sausage in your near future!
It is always an adventure with you both, and I so appreciative that you bring us along
I love that you are so in sync. I'm 74 years old and now I am realizing I would have loved living this life keep it up!
LOL Eric ...the wig!!!😂 Beautiful, big, open yard at the new place! Go team! 👍🇨🇦😎🐾❄🔥
I had to look twice, I thought that I was losing it!🤣
I had to go back and watch a older video I was like when did he grow the hair. LoL
I can say that we all like your old (present) cabin, but I think we can all say that we have been waiting for this kind of vlog ever since you decided to make the move!! AWESOME Vlog today. LOVE the caribou!!!!
After horrible week of mental health struggles, this video brings me peace! I love you guys so much ❤
Sorry you’re not doing well. Please be kind to yourself!
Hang in there, things will get better! ❤🙏
Hi Cayce! Sending love from Ohio!
I appreciate that y'all never whine & complain!! Things happen, & you just keep smiling & working through it!! Thanks!! We just moved, so we understand what you're going through - exciting & tough!! 😵💫
I just finished today watching back all your old videos after stumbling onto the channel a few weeks ago, and now I don’t know what I am going to do having to wait a week for a new video. But very happy I get to enjoy one today :). Love all your content!
Sometimes they post more then 1 a week. A treat for sure
I recently discovered this channel and have been watching old videos nonstop. Can’t get enough of your adventures! My favorite thing is that the maddest Eric has ever gotten is saying “dang it!”
I am soooo excited for you both! The caribou are beautiful animals and catching them on the trail cam was so great. Can't wait to see what you two are doing in the coming months
Prayers for your Dad and Grandmother. You look good Jared. I think you have finally found your peace :) You will have your dream herd one day. You have a great life ahead . You are such a good person. Peace.
So excited for you both on such a big upgrade! It’s going to be awesome to see everything you get up to!
Relationships are kind of like a Bob Ross painting - start w/ the outline, some basic colors, adjustments, some rules of the Art form (trust, integrity, compassion and empathy, patience, accepting imperfections etc etc.) and then what unfolds, after years of work that is always present, one arrives with a beautiful landscape that reflects not only the tapestry of individual brush strokes but what their joint painting creates along the journey. It also takes an element of idk if I'd call it lucky...But, an element of 'meant to be'. One is never too old to find such friendship gone ablaze.
Sooo enjoyed todays video! Thank you for all of the hard work you two do to make these happen!
Love the new cabin and very exciting for the move but have to say I’ll miss the current place too.
Ariel, hope your back is ok! Eric, you ROCK that wig! 😂
These videos are always so amazing no matter what is happening. So so much snow. Hope your doggies love the new place too.
A few weeks ago it was 60°F and I told everyone it was a false spring. They laughed, and this morning I woke up to 20°F 🤣 I'm so excited for the move! Good luck!
The warm weather messes with people’s common sense I think lol
I agree with Deborah below. The world needs more of y'all!! Have been watching for long time and this new move seems to have totally reinvigorated the two of you. You both look physically younger.
So excited for you two!
Caribou in the front yard, wow!
It’s going to be a fabulous Spring! Woohoo!
GOOD VID!! YOU TWO SHOULD ADD MORE BLOOPERS AT THE END. ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE A NICE MEMORABLE LAUGH. LOVE ❤& PRAYERS FOR YOU GUYS & PUPS & JUST ALL THE ANIMALS. ❤❤❤
The view of the snow covered mountains as you began the trip…was absolutely breathtaking! I have a tremendous amount of admiration and respect for the work you did to make this trip happen. Your teamwork is truly inspiring. And, the BLT’s looked soo delicious. I crave those once Summer tomatoes are available. Can’t wait to see your next trip. Blessings, Susan
Yaaaay!!! Absolutely amazing job, starting the huge task of DIY moving, and off grid, to boot. Hang in there, it's one of the top 5 'hardest things in life,' right up there with dealing with a death. You have a ton of great momentum, I wish you all the best this spring. And keep eating 'blots' and cooking up treats, you two DESERVE it. I hope it's a snowplow you are getting!!! That would make lighter work for the driveway, for sure.
From Sweden 🇸🇪 ... Started searching for planting videos because i find them calming at night and found this channel and could not stop whatching , i have been watching before and after work and cant stop .. you guys are amazing and your videos makes me feel im right there with you and i love it !! ❤
It's great to see your work. Difficult conditions. You have good tricks.
You are good at planning ahead.
A snow blower is really necessary.
Difficult work becomes fun to do.
Oh my gosh…that’s a boatload of snow to clear! Wow! Best of luck with the move. Excited to see what you do with your new, beautiful property and cabin!
I do admire you two , you are living your lives your way and it’s not easy but you make it work for you, your modern day homesteaders.
I didn't realize you were moving permanently to the new property. Are you going to sell your current homestead? Good luck to you both on your new adventure. Love watching you two.
From watching other videos I understand they haven't decided what to do with the old property yet.
No they are going to give it away.
Jesus.
Like the show and the music a lot! You two are great together no matter what you decide to tackle. Hope your back is better Ariel. The caribou were a bonus to see.
Awesome to see a protein source right at your front doorstep! Always a blessing when groceries come to you! Can’t wait to see what you do with the property over time! Remember, it’s a marathon not a sprint!😉
Wow, 8 hrs one way, so let the moving begin, can`t wait to see all the new builds on the new site, the new cabin is just gorgeous.
I’m ready to see Eric make his French roast coffee and relax. You children work so hard. You seem so joyful doing all this hard work.
You, kids, are fantastic. I love you guys and gals. Both the dogs are cool too. I wish you the best. God bless you both. Youth is not to be wasted. Keep up the good fight. I know you will make it .
This is the beginning of all your dreams....I'm so happy for you guys!😊
All these years hunting caraboo and now their in your yard ❤😊
I know it’s a lot of hard work for you but I’m so excited for the two of you. Can’t wait to follow in your new adventure. Make sure you rest up in between. Good luck. Love you both. Take care. Give those puppies a hug for me. ✌️❤️🇺🇸
I love the old round washing machine. We had one in the 50' - 60's when it was finally replaced with a Maytag washer and dryer. The old round one had a wringer on it and us kids used to love to help run the clothes through the wringer. And, then outside to hang all up on the clothes lines. Great memories.
Good luck with the move, always a hectic, stressful, yet satisfying experience. Can't wait to see your new home base evolve. I'm so excited for you guys!❤
You guys are amazing. I and my wife loves to watch you. I love Alaska for fishing for the mountains, wildlife and beautiful views. You guys are amazing!
This will be a really exciting time over the next few months and I am looking forward to it. Stay safe friends and it would be nice if you could count on the help of a friend or two, you seem to have accumulated so much over few years! But knowing how well the two of you plan when taking on different projects I have nothing less than impressed with the way you are able to complete certain tasks. Until the next time.✌️👏
The viewers will never know how hard it is to arrive at your camp at dark and face the challenges that winter throws at folks who live in the bush or off grid.You are both real Alaska sourdoughs
Been there done that
from Dave in Manitoba Canada
You two are unstoppable when you work together toward a goal!! I am so happy for, and proud of you...Thanks so much for sharing this new adventure - this glimpse of your lives :) You are truly living your dreams. I love that you manage to keep your sense of humor in the midst of all that hard work - I am sure it is a key element in the success of your relationship and accomplishments, along with the kindness, care and respect you show for one another. Not to mention all the fun and adventure you manage to have! Take good care of yourselves and stay safe and warm!
Had to add that I love it when you include the outtakes at the end - they always make me laugh
AWESOME, RUDOLPH`S FRIENDS HANGING AROUND YOUR NEW PLACE.
That new home is a great upgrade for you both and more flat land to build on, should be quite an adventure!
When I was in the hospital a few years ago, I was weak and unable to eat the unappealing food. My son brought me a bacon and tomato sandwich. It was so delicious. I always say that BLT saved my life.
Lol who noticed the wig😂
Extra cute with hair
Oh my gosh....the move has begun! How exciting. You two get so much done. Its amazing. You two make such a great team. The moose or caribou. So cool! Cant wait till then move video. Blessings
Take care of your backs. You two work so well together. Excited for you both as you do the big job of moving north. Cheers to all the work will be so worth it. Glad Bo and Bandit are doing good. Loved the Caribou at the end. Thanks.
We have truly enjoyed watching you guys from right about your move from OR to AK. Sort of like living vicariously through you! Makes us feel a bit younger again. Love your new property and though we only have 5 acres to tend, hoping maybe the new acquisition might be a tractor. So, so many things they could help you with!
I’m so excited to follow you on this next move ❤
Its one long, long time since I saw a washing machine with a mangle, Takes me back to the years after WW2, when my mother used to do the washing with a poss-tub, then have one of we three brothers wind the mangle handle while our Mom fed the clothes through before hanging them up to wind dry. My Dad bought, in about 1954, a twin-tub washing machine, which included a spin-dryer, and My Mom thought she'd gone to heaven.
My wife and I are so excited for you two. The move has begun. I hope the caraboo come around during hunting season.
You two are just AWSOME the amount of work you can do in such a short time
HOPE YOU'RE BABIES ARE DOING GOOD
Big move you two! Absolutely amazing. And those caribou!!! It’s like watching everything unfold all over again. ❤❤
BLT in the middle of winter, YUM! Thank you. God Bless and stay Safe.
Arielle, I’m with you with the back pain (I hauled too much soil around on my property in prep to extend my veggie garden and hightunnel reup! So I’ll remember the cure for back pain, that you mentioned 😅
I love all your new horned pets. Visitors from the North. Reindeer resting from thier skybound trip around the world with the bearded red guy.
I loved it when one of the dogs looked like they pulled up their blanket, they definately live their best life!!!
I admire you guys team work, the love you have for each other is amazing. Congrats on your new journey am excited to follow. May God Bless and keep y'all safe.
Would you please show a reference, on a map, of where you are moving FROM to your NEW location, or maybe I've missed it in a previous post.
Ariel, Eric…I am inspired Every Time I watch you guys! It doesn’t even matter what the video is about. I think it is because of the Amazing relationship that you share with each other. You guys actually glow when you work so hard together. It’s quite rare these days. I recognize it because I have the same type relationship with my husband, even after almost 30 years (although without all that work anymore lol). It reminds me of my Sunday school days where it says somewhere in the Bible….”And the two shall become one”. It is truly rare and beautiful to watch.
Boy y'all dug in an got a lot done! Hard work! Scenery an snow is so beautiful I love it! Hi Bo and Bandit!
Tenacity and adventures - non stop. Brilliant.
27:27 I love Ten Towers. Always some great music.
You guys work so well together! Thanks for sharing!😊
At 9.53 there was a beep. Happened for me during a thunderstorm and I had to rewind numerous times to make sure something in my house wasn’t beeping. Awesome scenery up there.
WOW WOW WOW, It's finally happening! love the caribou.
That view of the mountains is breathtaking.
Lovely new place...great seeing it again. Happy for you two, 🤗 YaaaaY ! Proud of you'll, on your hard work, I applaud your teamwork. 🥳 Glad you took us along. 🤗 Mmmm, BLT's, been decades since fixing them. Hugs n prayers, be safe and stay well. 🙏🏻🙌🏼 💖 Shalom all.
I LOVE WATCHING EVERYONE OF YOUR GUYS VIDEOS YOU GUYS WERE MADE FOR EACHOTHER YOUR THE BEST TEAM EVER!!! SUPER EXCITED FOR U GUYS..
Recommend always putting the spare tire near a door if needed. You don’t have to unload part of your load. Enjoying the channel. Tks for sharing.
You 2 are amazing. Perfect together. Stay safe always, enjoy yourself. Thanks for sharing your lives with us.....❤
Thank you for sharing your life with all of us. I love watching your channel. It is so refreshing to see you both working together to achieve your goals and dreams. Both of you show the world that life can be really good and it takes team work. Blessings always.
As always, I look forward to your new video each week. Sorry to hear about your back, hope it is better really soon. The caribou are amazing right in your yard! Can't wait for your next video!
You brave, beautiful people. Love watching you work, and your meals are delicious.🎉
I love the sound of crunchy snow
Brought back soooo many memories. :) We lived in Glennallen for 19 years.
Spectacular mountain & scenery shots! It always amazes me at how much "stuff" we amass in a short time but a move brings it into focus. Well organized move, guys ! The driveway at the new spot is going to take some work to keep clear every winter. I hope your next surprise is a big farm tractor with a plow. The caribou seem very tame for some reason. Those BLT's are making me hungry . Great video as always ! 👍👍👍✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
I am amazed with the snow. When you are working out to the container and the snow, The banks were to your armpits. Oregon still loves you both!! Congratulations on the moving!
