    I love watching alaska homesteaders. I just don't think I could handle the cold and dark winters. Everyone that does it is strong and amazing!

    Have you ever thought of recycling your chicken feed bags in stead of burning them? I use them to cover the inside of my coop. It helps with a second barrier against wind and cold. Took me four years but the inside is covered and it looks funny to see all the different bags I have bought from feed to sunflower seed to cracker corn.

      where do you think they recycle them so they are in the middle of nowhere think about it they would need room to save all the bags and haul them to town and find someplace and I don't Alaska has a recycling center everywhere I know here in the state I live they don't take them

    • @evelyndole4618
      @evelyndole4618 10 місяців тому +2

      Recycling instead of burning them by using the feed bags in the coop by stapling them to the walls as a wall covering. I said nothing about taking the bags to a recycling center.

    Couple things I noticed is you need to seal up the ends of those roof rafters. They're open to the outside and it's extremely cold. Another thing I would do is insulate the chicken coop and put plywood on the inside and the roof. Another thing I think you should be doing is instead of filling up the chicken's water take the water containers clean them every time so the chickens can have fresh water. And I would think about getting a heating source inside the chicken coop to keep them more comfortable.

    Looks like good egg production for winter. Do you have steady customers? Don't envy you when it comes to clean out this spring. In Va we use pine shavings which are pretty good for bedding.Good video.

    Tell us the financials of all this. You have a newer car, several out buildings, the all important land, and your actual cabin, yes maybe you built everything but did you get a loan for all this, I don't know of many people that could afford such a set up it can't all be paid for at your age.
