Hello Friends! Are you gearing up for the holiday season?? Hope that you will Subscribe so you can spend the holidays ahead with us!
One of the best feelings in the world is having well stocked pantries and freezers - it’s truly something I never take for granted. I love that you guys make it one of your top priorities!
I have so much gratitude every time I make a meal out of our pantries and freezers. It is not something I take for granted either! Thanks for being here Natalie!
Your like a Mama Bear getting the Family ready to hibernate for the Winter. All the prayers, thoughts, organizing, prep are apparent to the importance of Motherhood. Thank you God for our Alaskan Family Harvest. All the work of your Families Hands. Mother's Truly are the Heart of the Home.
One of my fondest memories growing up was the big Golden Dinner Bells that was wrung before meals or Family announcements to gather us 14 Children to the Dining Room Table. When my Sweet Mother died, my oldest Brother who is a Catholic Priest, rang the dinner bell one last time, we all gathered at the casket to say Farewell. We buried the bell with Mom. We all thought when that day arrives Mom will be ringing the Bell so we can be together again. Mom's are LOVE
Oh Marcella, I was so touched by your story of your mother and her dinner bells 🔔. It inspires me to be a better mother. Thank you so much for watching and always taking the time to leave such kind comments. Much love ❤️- Lauren
Thank you for sharing that tender story with us. Wow.
I'm single and i all my life even when married with children kept fully stocked....living in northern maine is kinda like Alaska....we eat a lot of wild meat and love it all....just wish we had caribou here but we do have moose one of my favorites....i do all my shopping at Sam's club....and even being single in today's world i find myself still stocking my freezers & pantry it's a habit i have had all my life....the only thing i miss is raising my owen chickens, turkey's & pig's.....but being single it is no longer worth it as i dont need that much food.....thank you for sharing how you do your pantry
Hello Mary! It is always a good feeling to be stocked up just in case. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to connect with such a nice comment. Have a wonderful week!
Nice stock of food and harvesting your own is such much better.
We feel grateful to have a mix of both.
First! Just love this lady!...I admire your work ethnic and how much you love your family..You are a fantastic mother..Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much Joni! That is so kind of you to say. Thank you so much for watching!!
@@ThisAlaskaLife I was wondering if you & your husband process your meat? Or do you have someone else do it?
@@joni5243 we do it as a family. You can see it here ua-cam.com/video/cxHefTYvT-U/v-deo.html
Omg, I would give my right arm for that pantry, it’s positively marvelous. Lol
Well thank you Kay! No need to give up arms but I am flattered none the less. Have a wonderful week!
thank you again for the privilege for allowing us into your lives.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy it!
After looking at your pantry I feel like I'm slacking...
I hope you and your family have a blessed day
You’re not slacking! We all have different things that are put together at different times. Thank you so much for being here!!
@@ThisAlaskaLife Oh yeah with everything going on in my life right now...trust me I've been slacking! lol...it looks like a tornado went thru my pantry...lol (hubby been home alone for 2 weeks)...lol
Thank you for sharing and y'all such amazing family and layed back🥰🥰🙏🙏😏😏
Thank you so much Tarra! I am so grateful you're here to be with us!
Hi! 🇧🇴🦙so organised!!
Thank you! I love organzing!
Thank you for showing to us your pantry😊
You're so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. Have a wonderful week!
Hi from a suburb outside of Los Angeles, CA. What a dream!!
Thanks! We feel so blessed, thanks for watching!
Hello love your pantry so nice and orangized thank for taking us along I see the cat Luna meow.Take care all.
Hello Margaret! Luna always has to come say hello! Thanks for watching
Good morning Lauren and Mark and family and thank you for sharing your beautiful day 🌞 I'm still binge watching
Love your pantry.
Thank you so much!
I love your pantry! I'm amused by the fact that your pantry door and my front door are identical.
YAY! Door twins! That is so fun, thanks for watching!
I love watching these videos that way I have ideas on how to organize and such whenever I get a pantry of my own😂
Thanks Brianna! Glad you got some good ideas!
Cup and market holder….brilliant!!! I put it in my cart and then my minimalist mind took over and said you don’t NEED or have SPACE for that so I took it out. Insert pat on the back…but I still love the idea!
Even with a minimalist mind it makes sense for me. I use it all the time when we host.
Well girl I think you're well stocked
For sure! Just got to eat our way through it and add fresh fruits and veggies! Thanks for watching!
almost half an hour of pantry storage i love it!!!
Glad you enjoyed the long form video! It was fun to show everything at once. Have a wonderful week!
Excellently organized pantry. Great job.
Thanks so much! 😊Thanks for watching Kim!
wow ! you have taken food storage to the next level .it is some thing to aspire to for all of us , no stressing
about decluttering . your youngest is so cute but maybe a warm sweater or something would help the little guy
stay warm in the stores ,
Hello Linda! We feel grateful to be well stocked. I think a sweater is a good idea, now if he would actually wear it is another story! I think he mostly just likes to make it funny when we are in the cold section, silly guy. Thanks for watching and commenting
Your pantry is so well organized and well stocked, as well as your freezers! It’s always a good feeling to be prepared for an emergency! Hope you have a great day!!
Hello Donna! It does feel so good to be prepared. We had a big earthquake up here a few years ago and it was a good reminder to be on top of those things since everything was shut down, and then the pandemic! Thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing. It's amazing to see how organized you are!
Thank you so much! I really love the process of finding out how things function best and look nice as well. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for that look into your clean, well stocked, well organized pantry and freezers. It's nice to know that you can live off the land like you do. I am amazed at all the meat, nice to have with the growing boys! Loved seeing all the 🍯 honey! Thank you, Lauren!!! 🌼
You're welcome Karenlee! I am so glad that you enjoyed getting a peek into all of it! Have a wonderful week!
Love Love love the pantry 🙂
Thank you so much Elizabeth!!
That door is so beautiful
Agreed! I fell in love with it long before the pantry was built and was so glad to have it incorporated. Thanks for watching!
I’m so jealous of houses that have pantries.
Luna's work is never done! It's hard keeping track of all her humans. I love your pantry! I wish I could be so organized.
Hello! Yes, Luna always has to check in on everyone! I am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and have a wonderful week!
wow your pantry is bigger than my kitchen x
It is bigger than my kitchen in our first house too. We feel blessed to have this space. Thanks for watching!
I didn’t know you could eat Bear! Just learned something new!
Black bear is edible as well as some brown bears. It really just depends on what they have been eating. This bear was right out of hibernation and had nothing in its stomach. If you shoot a bear that has been eating rotting salmon it is no good, if it is an alpine bear eating blueberries and plants you are usually fine. You do have to make sure you cook it 100% because of some parasites. Anyways, it is really sweet and we like making it into sausage.
Your pantry is stunning, I wish we had pantry’s in the UK like you do in the US. After the shortages here in the UK last year we turned one of our cupboards into a pantry. We also got a massive cheat freezer. It’s such a good feeling to have a good stock. I rotate monthly so it all gets used. It also works well as I only have to go food shopping once a month. New subscribers, just working my way through all your uploads xx
Welcome Sarah! I am so glad you found us and are enjoying the videos. We are so grateful you are here. The pandemic for sure strengthened my resolve to have food storage. We had a large earthquake a few years ago and that was a real wake up call. Many things were damaged for so long you didn't want to leave the house. It is such a good feeling to feel prepared! Have a wonderful week and I am glad you found a way to make a pantry and have some food storage!
You are well stocked. Enjoyed the tour Lovely home you have.
Thanks Diane! Glad you enjoyed coming along. Have a wonderful week!
Really wish I had a pantry in my house. I still try to keep organized with the little space i have.
Big or small, an organized space is so helpful. I just organized a small pantry for a client and it was great too. Thanks for watching!
I love your pantry and your expansive variety of products. You are so organized! No second guessing of what you have and don't have. Hello to you and your family! Until next time...❤❤❤
Thank you so much Deborah! I feel so blessed to have the space and all the food in it, I don't take any of it for granted. Thank you so much for watching and your kind words, we will see you soon!
Thank you Lauren for sharing you clean, organized and well stocked pantry, looks amazing. I’ll love to have a big pantry like yours. The overflowing pantry in the garage and the freezers are well stocked, ready for winter..
Thank you So Much Fabiola! We are so grateful for this space but it doesn’t have to be big to be well organized. Thank you so much for watching!
You should stock up on the jimmy dean sausage and freeze it next time you’re at Costco… that way you’ll have some if they don’t have it!
Thanks! I have 2 in the freezer now. I never had to do that in the past so I was not even thinking about it until recently! Thank you so much for watching!
Excellent video!
Thank you Linda! Glad you enjoyed it. Have a wonderful week!
I come from a long line of canners. We have always removed the ring from the jars as to not conceal a false seal.
That is such good advice, thank you!
Mmmmm moose burger 🤤 ❤️ haven’t had it in a decade or more, I don’t know anyone nearby who hunts
So yummy!
Salmon patties. Nummy. Im curious about the moose meat. Being mid western we dont have it. Pheasant. Yum. Duck yum. Venisson. Yum.
Agree on all of those, YUM! Moose meat is right up there with it, you would like it if you like all of those other things!
Love your pantry and that door!!!!!!
Thank you so much Melinda! Grateful you're here!
One word. Amazing. Just amazing.
Hi , love your pantry , I’m so jealous! One little note , after watching loads of canning videos I learnt that it’s best to remove the rings from the jars once they have cooled down after processing…apparently if you leave them on it can conceal a failed seal and you could end up using some food that has not been safely preserved …..I haven’t started canning yet but hopefully will soon.
Love all your videos with your lovely family, from Becky in Western Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks! I too have learned that recently and now make sure to remove the rings.
This was awesome!! I admire you for harvesting so much of your food. It's a lot of work but definitely worth it. Well done Hamm fam!!.
Thank you so much Lynne! I am grateful you are here to watch it and thank you for the comment. Have a wonderful week!
I love your channel! Whitetail deer season opens this coming weekend in Mississippi. We are down to our last package of deer sausage. So we are ready for a deer. Thank you for sharing.
Hello Julie! That sounds like perfect timing for deer season. We just got a deer, working on editing the video now for the Alaska Boys channel. Thank you so much for watching!
Gracias por mostrarnos tu reserva de alimentos para el invierno.
¡Gracias por ver! Estamos muy agradecidos de que esté aquí con nosotros.
Your pantry is beautiful !! Love how organized you are !! Looks so pretty and appealing!! Love your family life and enjoy your clogs !! 😀😀😀😀
Thank you so much!! We are so grateful you're here!
Wow , what a great pantry. Beautiful!
I love how organised you are even though you have a busy house. If your ever in the uk and visit wales your welcome to come and organise my food and pantry storage
Thank you so much Mandy! Organizing is really something that I love. I had clients before Covid and just took my first client since the pandemic. Not sure how much time I have to do it now with this channel but I really do love doing kitchens and pantrys the most. Would love to visit the UK one day!! Thanks for watching!
I love the fact that your working pantry was so thought out, you planned i5 so well. The door! Oh.my.goodness. I love it.
I need to get to my overflow/long term pantry and organize it. Funny thing, that’s number 1 on my list for today. I had to watch this first! Thank you for doing this video! Have a great day! I’m not sure which one of the boys was at the end but, he is adorable! Of course they all are! Hugs and God bless you and yours.
I hope organizing went well! Thank you so much for watching! It was Hunter at the end, he was too funny so I had to add it!
Hi Lauren & Luna, This Alaska Life, Wow your so gifted and talented at creating this nice pantry! I love how you has everything so clean and well organized!! Your hair has lots of volume, healthy and beautiful! You're one smart lady! I enjoyed watching this pantry tour! Another great video!
Well thank you Bernice! You are so kind to notice all of those things. Keeping things organized keeps me sane so I enjoy the process of figuring out what functions and look beautiful at the same time. Have a wonderful week!
Thank you very much, Lauren!
@@ThisAlaskaLife Thank you, Lauren!
Love love your tours……would especially like to hear more about the long term storage too and the amounts ans items. We all need to be more prepared but some tiimes don’t know where to start ….and you guys are on top of everything.
May l kindly ask what you need to be prepared for? I don't live in the remote US but l did grow up in a fairly isolated area in Australia and we certainly didn't stock pile anything, it's just not what we do here so l was wondering why one would need months and months worth of pantry items (meat l can understand as we always had a whole sheep or whole cow butchered and packed in the freezer but that's just how we got our meat). Hope you don't mind me asking. 🙂
I was given the long term food storage when my sister moved out of the country. But I do have some resources that can help, I will look into them and share them sometime. I remember as a child when my Dad lost his job for a long time and we were very thankful for the long term food storage and we lived in Texas at the time. Thanks for watching!
@@ThisAlaskaLife : That makes alot of sense with your family finances taking a hit when younger and seeing how your Mum was prepared for that period of difficulty that it would be what you do for your family especially having 4 hungry boys to provide for l totally get it (oh and of course l understand that you get snowed in).
What a great tour of everything. Thanks for sharing! Look at that snow 🥶 really enjoyed seeing the homemade pantry lot of interesting items in there
Thanks for watching! Just wait for the real snow, we got 14 inches a few days ago!!
Super inspiring, as always!
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful
Love your pantry. So organized. I'd love a big pantry. I know it's a must for you in Alaska. Love your videos Loren. Missed Everett. He's adorable.
Thanks Carol! I feel blessed to be able to have all of it. Sorry for no Everett, I should have had him say hello after his play date! He will be back for next video!
I love the binders you have for your recipes! Your pantry is awesome! Your so organized love it! This gave me lots of great ideas to organize mine. Thanks for sharing 😊
I’m so glad you enjoyed it and found some ideas. Organizing pantries and kitchens is probably my favorite thing when I help clients!
You have a talent for it for sure! 😊
Hi Lauren, thank you for the pantry tour I loved it. The door is so pretty & perfect for your pantry have a great day 💜
Thanks so much Kim! I am so grateful to have my dream pantry after dreaming of it for so long. Have a wonderful week!
It is amazing. Please make a video how you make a moose meat in a jar. I'll wait your next video. You have great boys.
Thanks! Here is a video from the last time mark did the moose canning ua-cam.com/video/HDwWHEC7j8c/v-deo.html
Enjoyed the tour
I absolutely love how organized your pantry is! Maybe one day I’ll have a “cantina” (pantry) room all for itself! Cantina is what my Italian MIL calls the pantry!! Absolutely beautiful and the door is gorgeous!!
I love your pantry
Hello Kim! I love calling it the Cantina! It really is a dream come true to have this pantry. It is really something I dreamed up and feel so blessed to have it!
I love how organized you are! I got some great ideas from your pantry set up as well as how you have your freezers designed. I found some containers on Amazon today to help organize my little chest freezer. Thanks to you I'm very excited.
A while back you did a tour of your home, i didn't have a chance to comment then, but you have a very beautiful home, I really like your style.
I missed seeing Everett in this video, he puts a smile on my face. You're raising some great kids. Thanks for sharing your awesome family. 🙏
Yay! Love a good organizing project! Makes life nice to have a place for everything! Thank you so much for your kind words about our home and family, I am very grateful for it all!
I love how organized you are! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Colleen! I try to be to keep my sanity!
Great tour!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Love your pantry! I’m so jelly and wish I had a beautiful house and pantry like yours 🥰🥰 thanks for another video ❤️
Thank you!! 😊That is very kind of you. Do you like to organize and decorate your home? I think everyone can make a wonderful home with what they have. Sometimes all you have to do is think of one project that would really make a difference in how your home feels and then work from there. Sometimes it is as simple as decluttering and organizing, that can help you love it. Anyways, sorry to go off on a tangent, I just love creating functional and beautiful spaces soo much!
@@ThisAlaskaLife I like to organize and decorate but it’s hard to keep it that way. I also try to do some decluttering on a weekly basis but sometimes life happens. Husband kids 👨👩👧👦 and dog 🐶 I wish I can have someone just come to my house and redocorate and reorganize things when the seasons change so it can look nice and fresh. Maybe if you’re in nyc and wanna visit I can pay you to do it because you seem to enjoy it. Do you still go over to peoples houses around to organize and de clutter? Or not yet because of the pandemic? It’s also nice if my son, Julien (12yrs old) and daughter, Kristina (8 years old) enjoy it as much as you and I 😂😂😂😂😂 thanks for going on a tangent because I guess I did that too 🤦🏻♀️ thanks for sharing! You don’t even know how much I appreciate you replying back and getting to know your viewers 🥰🥰🥰 thank you so much!
You are ready for winter. Great food storage system.
You got that right! Thanks Jackie!
I would like to know which burger yall like best.
Moose is my favorite but the deer that my Son Bennett just shot has been the best game meat I have ever eaten. My least favorite are sheep and caribou.
you have a nice house
Thank you so much!
Lauren this pantry is amazing and so tidy love it 🤩
Thank you so much ☺️ I really do love how it looks and more importantly how it functions for our family! Thanks for watching
Such great meat you have. Great storage!
Pioneer Woman new cookbook is fantastic. I’m not the best at using cookbooks but I have made several of the new recipes.
Thanks for the recommendation! I will have to check it out!
This is such a cute pantry! And seems like it would be super functional! Love it!
It is super helpful for being able to find what we need. THanks!
When we defrosted our freezer we use buckets of hot water inside with the freezer lid closed. It works really to speed up the defrosting.
Thanks for the tip! We will need to try that !
Your pantry is amazing 🤩
Thank you so much!
Finally !! Just kidding. I love your pantry, Thanks for sharing. Have a great day.
It’s about time!!!! Thank you for watching!
nice pantry
THank you so much!
That was interesting to see all the different kinds of meat. Have a great day.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a magical pantry ! You didn't know it was magical huh? Lol.Loved it,and the door is so pretty 😍. One of my daughters has an old antique door for their table.Its got a thick glass on top.If you keep a couple of tp cardboard tubes,you can easily put your cords in them😉.Thanks for sharing! Hugs from Missouri 🤗
Hello Candi! It really is magical and I feel so grateful for it and all the food in it. That table sounds fun, I love using old things to give a home character. I will have to try the tp tubes!! Thanks for being here, I am so grateful!
New sub from Texas. Beautiful pantry!❤xo
I hate defrosting freezers. I purchased a frost free last time.
Good idea! It is a pain!
Great loved it, your so organised, I need to clean n sort my freezers out, will get it done soon, 🤣, exciting to see your channel is growing, 🤩👍😊
Thank you so much Pat! It feels good to get everything sorted and organized!! Thanks for watching
You have a beautiful pantry! Every place I've live at hasn't had a walk-in pantry. I do have a large laundry room with shelves that I could use as one.
I do have a cabinet that has a lazy susan that's I use for canned goods & boxed foods. I also use a couple of cabinets for baking goods and snack foods.
You are so organized! 🤯
Thank you! I feel so lucky to have this space. Sounds like you are making good use of your space!
Love your pantry ,freezers. So organized! Wish I was so organized. I think it's great how your family hunts and processes your meat, plus foraging for berries and mushrooms, making apple sauce. Do you all have nut trees,like black walnuts or hickory nut trees? Those are my favorite things to gather! Stay safe and blessings to you family.
Hello Cathy! I am so glad you enjoyed coming along for the tours. We do not have any but trees in Alaska that I am aware of! Just lots of berries.
Dried fruits should always be refrigerated. Also most balsalmic vinegars and maple syrups.
I would love to have a pantry.
I just found your page and love it so far! I have just one question about your overflow pantry…..do you worry about keeping your food items on the same shelf as cleaning products? Ok, second question….when can I come visit? Lol. Love your place and organization!!!
Hello Tracey! So grateful to have you here, so glad you found us. I don't worry about the cleaning supplies next to the food as long as they are both in packages. I wouldn't want them next to the bags of flour. Maybe something I should think about though. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to connect!
You need to do some cooking videos with your game meat.
We have a lot of cooking sprinkled into our other family videos but I think I will do some more dedicated videos to cooking in the future!
You are so organized!! I wish I was better organized...
It takes practice. I have not always been this organized but it helps me stay sane!
#pantrygoals Love the pantry door!
Thank you so much Serena! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
What a great video Lauren. I wish i had a pantry. Its more convenient to keep track of things. I have 2 questions to ask you. Do you ever get mice in your garage pantry area and what does moose meat taste like ? Does it taste like beef ? I have had venison, caribou , mule deer and elk at one time but not moose. Thanks for sharing and your cat is so nice. Be safe .
Hello Shirley! Glad you enjoyed the tour! We have had a few voles in the garage but thankfully they have never gotten into the food and Mark was able to capture them quickly. We probably need to put the bags into 5 gallon buckets just to be safe. We did have them in the chicken coop eating the chicken food at times! Moose is very similar to deer. Very mild in flavor and almost no fat. It is different from beef because of the lack of fat but it tastes really good! We plan on doing a taste test video this winter with all of our meat.
Enjoyed the tour! You are so well stocked and organized,your family will never go hungry, Enjoyed the tour very much,till next time.
Glad you enjoyed the tours Christine. We feel very blessed to have a well stocked home. Thanks for watching, see you soon!
I can't imagine having that much cupboard space. I'm jealous.
Where would you reccomend donating moose meat in alaska? My dad loves hunting & tagging a moose would be a lot of fun for him especially to have it mounted, but I know our family wouldn't need all the meat & we don't want any of it to go to waste.
Lauren, love your pantry. They are both so nice. Tell about your meat...I have eaten deer, elk and bison. And caribou. Elk and caribou only once.. Which is your favorite and why? Thanks for sharing.
Hi Cindy! We plan on doing a taste testing video sometime this winter but I am happy to answer briefly here too. Moose is my favorite overall, it tastes good and mild, no bad taste if it is processed correctly. My son recently shot a deer that has best meat I have ever eaten, better than beef, but it is small and wouldn’t feed us very long. My least favorite is caribou and sheep because they can be decent but more often they taste gamey. Bear is very sweet and nice if you get it at the right time. Thanks for asking, have a wonderful week!
.my you are so together
Following....
Thats an amazing and HUGE pantry! But thats perfect for when you get snowed in! How long do you think you could go without shopping with all that food stored?
Hello Tereza! We could go for a few months if we absolutely had to but we would desperately miss fresh fruits and veggies. It might be good to do a challenge sometime and go a month and see how we feel about what we have stored. Thanks for watching!
Impressive, but more importantly your organisation is amazing. I live in New Zealand and I don’t think anyone here has that much food in their house 😁
Thank you so much!
Hi Friends,
My mind is blown, this video was like "but wait there's more" 😁 Do you not have Uber Eats in Alaska? I just keep our stuff in those ugly Costco boxes and shove them in the pantry, out of sight out of mind 😅. Your pantry is gorgeous, would you mind popping over to mine when you are done and getting my life sorted, thanks in advance 🙂
I think we have Uber eats but I have never used it. I would be happy to overhaul your pantry! We all have our talents! Thank you again for the books for Everett, you are so kind!
