Absolutely love y'alls homestead! Always looking forward to seeing a new video! Each one is always jammed packed with goodness and awesome content ❤❤❤❤
You should do an apothecary in depth series about herbs, tinctures, balms and the like. That was a lot of information to digest in such a short time and I’m sure that is just scratching the surface.
What an amazing video. I have been rivetted to my screen, oblivious to anything else...lol! What a life you have created for yourselves. Yes, it is hard work but, it is rewarding work. You have figured how to best use the seasons to get everything done or, maintained. I love that you have acknowledged the importance of having just enough chickens to manage. Many people, homesteading, are taking on too many chickens and their chicken coup looks sad and not clean. They are livestock and require adequate attention to be healthy so, good for you. I also enjoy your cook outs. You have learned to embrace all aspects to having a varied, active life and this is so great for your daughter. See how excited she was to help in the kitchen when you were going to serve the chocolate bread. Loved that. Each of you are contributing with what you are good at. I love the shelves, in the kitchen. Trouble is, I would become paranoid about using my supplies and seeing empty spots...lol. Thanks, guys. I had a fun time, all the way in Ontario, Canada. Cheers to all of you❤
Was waiting for your video all week 🤣💓 I really want to homestead in the future & you’ve given me so much insight to the lifestyle! I get so excited lol
This one was a little late 🤣 it’s been a busy week! We are so happy to hear you enjoy and it gives you some insight! We hope one day you get to homestead too ❤️
The most informative channel I’ve watched. I’ve got to learn how to do the Sourdough bread. It was making me hungry. 😂 Thanks for the videos. I’m anxiously waiting every week for a new one. Y’all are so cool.
Another wonderful and informative video. I just ordered a book on Apothecary and can't wait to learn all about it. I really enjoy your videos..keep up the great work.
UHH, I'VE REACHED A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF RESPECT FOR YOU 😮😮😮. YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF HERBS AND ESSENTIALLY EVERYTHING 😂😂😂 IS ABSOLUTELY MESMERIZING AND INSPIRING. I AM IN AWE OF YOU 😊. GREAT INFORMATIVE AND HELPFUL VIDEO. THANK YOU FOR SHARING. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY DEAR 🙏✨. PS I'D PROBABLY POISON MYSELF, IF I EVER TRIED THAT AT HOME 👀🤯😱😷☠️💀🤣🤣🤣.
This was honestly incredible. Thank you for sharing so much valuable information! I am in awe of your apothecary ❤ I just love everything about your videos. It was -15 here in Penobscot County yesterday morning! Take care and thank you!
Wao thank you so much for all the awesome recipes I love it actually I did the fermented garlic and we all got sick and we tried it and it really worked ❤ love your videos ❤ keep up the good job 👏🏻
I would love to learn more about herbs and how to identify them. I live on a mountain in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains and would love to take advantage of what these beautiful mountains have to offer! I really enjoy watching your videos ❤
That was incredible! Thank you! I added a new folder into my apple notes called appthecary! I created a note for each of these recioes and cannot wait to grow/forage/create my own remedies ASAP! Thank you for sharing! Where did you learn all of this? 💛
Great video as usual very very informative my wife carol is having problems with i think they call it diverticulitis so might try her on some ginger and camomile tea to help all the way from rainy belfast northern ireland from Michael and Carol 😊
I love the shelving, didn't take long to fill. You know your stuff about herbs and uses. Interesting! 😊 So do you forage all that you used or buy? You have a wide variety for sure.
Love all the recipes, you should create a recipe book! Side note: I learned the hard way, St John’s Wart also helps with fertility! Luckily, we were trying! 😂
Love to unwind after a stressful day with your videos. Just subscribed. Have been fascinated with the Alaskan lifestyle for years since watching "Living Alaska" and Sarah Palin's reality TV show from Wasilla. Just met a new resident of north Florida at the grocery store checkout who recently moved from Alaska and used to sit in the bleachers with Sarah watching their boys' hockey games! Thank you for being attentive to your hens' needs. How do you keep their drinking water from freezing? Also, how far is the nearest dentist? Take care and stay safe.
Very interesting about the herbs and remedies. I know it's not my place, but you could create an ebook and sell your knowledge on your personal website about it. Just a thought. :) Love the salmon btw; going to order me some right now.
Very interesting and informative. Could you put up some of your recipes for Elderberry syrup and pain mixture? Any others would be wonderful. Have you thought of making a recipe book for your herbal medicines and breads?
Hey guys love your channel...When u get time you should build a drive thru shed for your 4 wheeler and snowmobile...would get them out of the elements...👍👍😎
Thank you! We have had a Burkley in the past and melted snow. We do have a well here, but it will have to wait until spring for us to get it working! For now, we haul water 😊
Love your videos, I have so many question. Do you guys use a outhouse? Is there a library close by you can use? I assume you dont have internet service?? Will you home school? Do you know how to homestead from experience or reading?? Does the cold and dark ever effect your mood?? So impressed in how you live!!
Thank you! We do have an outhouse. The nearest town does have a library (1.5hrs away). We do also have internet, and currently homeschool. Homesteading from experience (10+years), never stop reading! The cold and dark is something you learn to live with, getting outside is big! One of our favorite things is a moonlit snowshoe around the snowy forest ❤️
You guys are so good at the things you need to do but I am curious about if a emergency happens like a bad chainsaw accident or a broken bone or something like that how close is the hospital or rescue services stay safe. You wonderful family
Amy the modern day herbal witch doctor, very cool. 🧙🇬🇧🇬🇧
Absolutely love y'alls homestead! Always looking forward to seeing a new video! Each one is always jammed packed with goodness and awesome content ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much! We're passionate about living this lifestyle and sharing what we learn. ❤️
Always a highlight of my week when I see that a new Holdfast Alaska video drops! 👍
Thank you so much! We appreciate you watching! ❤️
Amy, you should write a cookbook with tinctures and herb recipes. I would love that, and I'm sure a lot of people would.
@@terrywilliams8585And another book with all of her sourdough recipes!
Wish I was closer to learn the herbs and uses. I'm more of a hands on learner. Have a great day and God bless 💞
We're always happy to share what we learn! Have a great day as well 😊
There's so much info online now. You can forage & grow quite a bit no matter where you live😊
Amazing. Probably the best herbalist homesteader I’ve watched.
Thank you so much, we appreciate the kind words ❤️😊
Excellent video. So much information, I was taking notes!
Thank you for watching! We are so happy you found it helpful! ❤️
You guys Rock ! You should write a book with all your recipes
I second that! I’d buy it!
We are considering that! Thank you so much ❤️
You should do an apothecary in depth series about herbs, tinctures, balms and the like. That was a lot of information to digest in such a short time and I’m sure that is just scratching the surface.

That Buck 110 sure seems to get used for a bit of everything. A classic knife.
We love it!
Much love from Arkansas 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Love back from Alaska!
One thing I love about this channel? Is that you don’t swear and take GODS name in vain like so many other channels.
I would love to learn more about herbs and how to identify them. I live on a mountain in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains and would love to take advantage of what these beautiful mountains have to offer! I really enjoy watching your videos ❤
Your videos are awesome. You should think about posting them online:)

Thank you for the suggestion! We are definitely considering making an ebook of recipes and herbal remedies 😊
hello, love your show. Consider storing your "goods" where an earthquake won't destroy your inventory and supplies.
CHuCK in Alaska
Incredible. So impressive. What a gift for you and your family all those natural remedies. Do you make your own hair and skin products ? X
Very interesting and informative. Could you put up some of your recipes for Elderberry syrup and pain mixture? Any others would be wonderful. Have you thought of making a recipe book for your herbal medicines and breads?
We are considering a homestead recipe book! The herbal remedies used are in the description of the video up above ❤️ we hope you find them helpful!
Hey guys love your channel...When u get time you should build a drive thru shed for your 4 wheeler and snowmobile...would get them out of the elements...👍👍😎
Thank you so much! That’ll be a project one day! 😊
Another wonderful video. Always so inspiring and informative. ❤
Where do you get all your herbal supplies from or do you grow your own?
Can you do a tiny cabin tour ?
I am sure you have learned a lot over the years on making your salves, tinkures and syrups. Do you have a good reference guide you could recommend?
You should make a herb recipe book
We are thinking about it! 😊
is there a 'natural' alternative to Loperamide ?
There are lots! We like blackberry leaves, peppermint, lemon balm, chamomile, garlic honey. ❤️
Great job! Can you do anything about so many adds?
Thank you! We are not super tech savvy; let us try and see if next upload we can limit ads or move them around! ❤️
You are a walking herbalist encyclopedia! Have you all ever used a Burkey water filter? Do you melt snow at all for cleaning, etc?
Thank you! We have had a Burkley in the past and melted snow. We do have a well here, but it will have to wait until spring for us to get it working! For now, we haul water 😊
❤

What happened to your other dog? 🐶

The two chickens look like Sussexs.
That sounds right!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👋
❤️
My question is, do you home school you`re little girl?
It would be nice if you put the camera a little closer to the jars and kinda what your doing you know us pld people we can see as well lol😢
We will definitely do that next time!
I am a fan, but I cringe when you pour boiling water i acold mason jar...i expect a loud cracking sound!
My husband does too, haven’t cracked one yet though! 🤣
So much information on this video. You are so full of great knowledge. Ty for sharing it with us
Do you share your p o box?
Have a blessed week.
Hola pretty woman desde Puerto Rico Hello
Appreciate the videos, but please check the pronunciation of the word calendula. 😊
Thanks for pointing that out! It's easy to get a little tongue tied when you're working with so many herbs. 😉
You guys are so good at the things you need to do but I am curious about if a emergency happens like a bad chainsaw accident or a broken bone or something like that how close is the hospital or rescue services stay safe. You wonderful family
Absolutely fascinating! Always exciting to see a new video from you guys. So envious of your beautiful life 😍
