Fall at the Off Grid Cabin | Life in Alaska
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2020
- Fall is a short season in Alaska, nonetheless crisp days fill the air and vibrant leaves create a colorful landscape. With freezing temperatures the growing season comes to a halt and we embrace the wood stove for the beauty and warmth it provides.
We clean up the yard, protect the fruit trees with vole guards and prepare the beehives for the upcoming winter with candy boards, quilt boxes, and extra insulation. We end the night with a lovely harvest of brussel sprouts for a fresh meal at the cabin.

I just wanted to let you two know that I think it's really cool that you include the sunrise/sunset and temps for the day in your videos. It's interesting to see the difference from your place and where I am in Michigan.
I’m Off Grid in Hawaii... but I learn sooo much from watching you guys.... motivates me to keep trying new ideas and become more self reliant in this crazy Time!
I’m 82 and have never seen Brussels Sprouts grown. How wonderful. Love to eat them. You two are the best. Love parsnips.💕
Young people you created a little paradise over there! I could not imagine that you can grow such a different kinds of vegetables in Alaska! You are such a great couple in every possible way. Wishing you all the best for now and for the future!
You are so great together. Your lifestyle work because you both work together and respect/trust each other. Love the lifestyle!!!
How long do you cook your collard greens leaf for the wrap?
Well said!
I’m hooked to this channel. I just love watching you guys working together and enjoying the fruits of your labor together.
Same they are the best ❤️
I happened on to this sight by simple looking. I so totally enjoy watching this
Working and industrious couple.
I have watched Shawn James for months and he has nothing on you folks.
I love your hard work ethic and i have always said that you get what you work for and your reward is great.
I love shawn James but i am sooooooo glad i found you guys
I am 81 years old and a retired from pastoring. I pastored and preached for 50+ years and still preach many week ends.
Sure do love you kids and so much love watching your program.
You be blessed and highly favored of the Lord.
A make shift roof for your hives will help a ton! I have a very similar set up, and always struggled with winter survival until recently. I also insulate in teh same way. Also, I took a piece of sheet metal that I can tie down over my two hives, at a slant so water flows off and away from the hives, and i haven't had any issues with moisture since. Highly recommend it.
Great video! One real easy trick to help with the condensation! Raise the rear of the hive a little (3/4-1”). Then what condensation, if any, that does form on the top of the inside covers will run to the front, down and out of the entrance or through the screen bottom board. It won’t be dripping down on the cluster which is a death sentence in the winter no matter where you’re at. Good luck with it and keep up the great work!
Beautiful fall scenery, you guys have to be the healthiest best eating homesteaders on utube.😀🥕🥒🥬🧅🧄🍄🥦🍳🥗
White Tree Tubes Protect the bark from Splitting during sudden freeze/thaw Cycles.
As well as mice and voles.
You two do so much it’s amazing.
2 of my most favorites..parsnips and Brussel sprouts.. Fried with butter and bacon grease combo and alittle onion.. Until a little crispy and softened and then drizzeled with a balsamic glaze and sprinkled with bacon Oh my heavens.. perfection
You picked a good day to burn. Even the ashes add something to the soil. I sure hope your bees do well this winter - it is always so nice to see them in spring. I was so excited to see how well your brussels sprouts did! And your supper had me drooling of course. Love you two and really appreciate that you share your lives with us.
I'm not a fan of wasteful burning, the earth is suffering from climate change as it is.
Pea-tear Wingedlion oh please the reason for all the wild fires out west is because of tree hungers like you, now THATS wasteful burning!
Sorry. Tree-huggers have nothing to do with the wild fires. This has been caused, in large part, by poor federal land management and the unwillingness of the utility companies to upgrade their equipment and systems. Cost is tens of billions of $$s but worth it in the long term.
I live in the Bay Area and can attest to a major decline in air quality for about 8 million people. Scary to think of the long-term health affects.
BeckyP InCalifornia look up deborah tevaraz. Your wild fires are a combination of chemtrails falling to the ground and trees taking the barium/aluminum up in the root systems. Then add drought caused by weather warfare and direct energy weapons and you’ve got a recipe for disaster. It’s all planned and orchestrated and you guys are the lab rats.
The only climate change we have is purposeful and man made and it isn’t from so-called carbon emissions.
I've been binge watching your videos since I stumbled upon your channel two weeks ago. Such an inspiration. No merch, no clickbaits, just pure day to day homestead living. Next year I finally get a farm of my own, so looking forward to it. Nice to see gardening in cool climate. I've gotten so many ideas and tips how to and what to grow.
Well said, I couldn't agree more.
As I'm watching you two I was thinking how much you two definitely are a matched pair from heaven. I love, love your videos. You both are fun to watch. Stay safe and warm!
Loving the work you have done on the fireplace. I have the exact same owl trivet, smaller size. I love owls, and my happiness of you taking that little arboreal owl to the vet 💞
I freakin love that you put the date. So all of us southern folk can compare our surroundings , environment,and weather
It so amazing to see how far u too have come at your homestead, I've been on vacation and I've missed your videos, from your knowledge to the superb drone shots of beautiful Alaska. Nice cranberry find indeed. I love your Salmon trip as well. Looking forward to the devil salve your making for pain relief. I always look forward to your videos. U both stay safe take care and always enjoy where your at, it's a blessing for sure.
Your story gives inspiration to those who are planning to live in rural. We would love to share this with our customers who bought vacant land from us and planning to live away from the city. They will surely get awesome ideas from your videos.
All that work you guys did during summer in preparation for winter is now paying off... especially noticed while watching Eric light the fire in that refurbished wood stove ... nice work guys... love watching your adventures and admire your lifestyle
I lived in the Scottish Highlands during part of my childhood. As I get older I get less nostalgic for those rapidly shortening days at this time of year as you begin to prepare yourself for winter (mentally and otherwise). Of course, the flip-side is the glory of almost perpetual daylight in summer, especially when you're a kid and can just step out into it no matter how late you stay up or how early you wake. But the winters are a heavy price to pay.
Long after I left the Highlands I had reason to spend a lot of time in Scandinavia - sometimes well up into the Arctic circle - on work-related trips, and it always felt a bit like going home. However, delving into the history and traditions of the people who have the deepest and longest connection to those latitudes in Europe, the Sami, leaves one with few illusions about the harsh and unforgiving realities of such geographies. If you equate an easy life with a good life, it's definitely not the place to be!
Yea! You put the sunrise, sunset times and the temps back on! I don't know why, but I like it!!
Every time I watch your videos I get hungry. Your recipes look so good and healthy. You should write a cookbook. Hope your bees find the clover you will plant. I think clover honey is the best. Blessings to you both
Do you see yourselves living this way forever? This channel is so inspirational!
Watching this makes me want to sell everything in the city and move to a remote place, but then i remember that I dont have an awesome partner/friend/lover like you guys do (and thats the most important part that I can see)
Hmm looks like Joni and Iuri need to hook up 🥰..
Just go smaller you don't have to have as much as they do. Go for it while your young enough DO IT NOW!
Do it man. She will find you when you least expect it. Another awesome couple to check out is Sailing La Vagabond.
My little sister says the same thing but she can't find a man who is tough enough, loving enough or dedicated enough to live this life style with her. 😊
You awesome partner is already in the woods waiting for you.
You two are master gardeners, master chefs, and masters at living life at its fullest! Thank you for sharing and teaching all of us how to do the same. ♥️
You might want to use your favorite search engine to see what it takes to be a master chef. It's probably way harder than you know. Google or whatever you use and see how many cooking positions you have to master to become a Master Chef, These folks do seem to be highly competent in the kitchen, however you have to be tested and certified by the CIA(Culinary Institute of America) with a 10 day test at a Culinary School which you must pass. When I started Chefs training, there were only 12 Master Chefs in the entire United States, and they were all European. The first American born Master Chef was Certified in the 1970's, if my memory serves me well? No, I am not talking about the TV program, Master Chef, which is doubtful if any of the "winners" are actual Master Chefs. I am talking about Master Chefs certified by the American Culinary Federation. Google it. Is this too much info? Well I've worked as a Chef for over 40 years, so I may be a little too close to the subject. Sorry for the rant.
@@frankgerlach5059 , well, they are excellent chefs, then!!
I understand the frustration I must have caused you. I am sorry.
@@pullupullupullup4687 I think they are minimizing the food they have to bring in from outside sources, including herbs and spices. I love my spices and am all for using them extensively but I don’t think that’s part of their goal.
Seeing your videos makes me miss Alaska so much! Living in Texas is great, but I can't wait to go back. Thanks for your awesome videos. They're really inspiring me to try to live a self sufficient life.
You guys are the bees knees of off-grid living..
My Favorite way to prepare Brussel sprouts is to half them into a cast iron pan, season with ground black pepper, Kosher salt, Garlic powder and olive oil. Roast in oven until there is a char on most leaves. They are awesome!
Love roasted Brussels sprouts. Cabbage is delicious roasted in cast iron too.
Timothy Zub me too!!!!
Level up with a bit of balsamic glaze on top. Divine!
Me too, except in bacon grease,
@@moregardening5014 Liquid Gold make everything better!
You guys have evolved into a cooking show, which is just amazing. I’d love to be your next door neighbor, and come to dinner. It’s truly amazing. I am wondering if either of you have any culinary training, or organic training. So, that is the second question for your Q and A that I have proposed. (The first, if you have been inundated and have forgotten is about Eric’s side arms. Why he wears a semi in some situations, and a revolver in others. I hope you can answer in the winter when things might be slower. I’d very much like to know the answers to both. Great! Love your work and dedication, so much. - Liam
Such respect for what you two do
The chickens love the brussel sprout leaves, but you could steam/saute them with garlic for yourselves~SO good!
"You could throw them like ninja stars.....BAP!!!" - Ya'll are too awsome.
Sprouts shredded and steamed and added to mashed potato with fried onion & garlic and layered with cheese and baked is delicious
Living the high life. Thanks for taking us on your Alaskan adventures
Just home from back surgery and your video is up, healing will be faster today. Love the wraps. I love Brussel sprouts. Also I guess I am the only person around here that likes parsnips. "We will not falter - We will not fail." Thanks for the video. God Bless Stay Safe
I can't wait for the potato harvest!
Or just go to the grocery store
@OrangeDiamond33 One could harvest potatoes now and they would be fresh, or one can go to the store and get potatoes that have been in storage for a year. Fresh and not sprayed with Round-Up or other pesticides is always best. This Idaho girl can get free potatoes and I still grow my own organically.
Those Brussel sprouts looked great! I didn’t realise they would grow on such a large stalk. Glad you were able to find the root for your salve. Those cranberries were beautiful. Good luck with the bees and orchard trees over the winter, I hope your hard work in protecting them pays off ☺️
Devil's Club salve ROCKS !! It's not only good for inflammation... but, you may find relief from some skin irritations as well, like a rash, etc. Stiff joints, it seeps down and helps with that as well. Great stuff. That meal looked amazing (hold the walnuts, however). Good luck with the bee preservation. Hope they thrive through the winter for ya. Brussel Sprouts are amazing when you fry up some bacon, and cook them (covered) in the bacon grease and some garlic... garnish with the bacon afterwards. Great stuff. Keep rockin' it you two... love your videos.
My friend used to put her bees in her garage also in Fairbanks Alaska. I used to borrow some of her bees to go in my garden in the spring. I really miss Alaska.
Fall is my favorite time of year, harvest season is such a rewarding period ...but it's also gives me a little melancholic feeling, like knowing times ahead will be a lot less nice.
So interesting to see this lifestyle!
U guys are just awesome.
I have been following your vlogs since the past 3 months and ur vlogs really help to get my mind my clear abt how to live life.
Watching you guys has helped me to think about how i want to live my life.
Thanks a lot guys.
God bless both of you.
That's a good setup. For the bees. Panel board under your bottom board. Helps with screen bottom boards.
Great combination of music and drone footage! I love when you include the sunrise/sunset, date and temp information!
treat your bees for mites.
since you got new packages this year, there’s a good chance that they came with mites.
It’s one of crucial things to do for their survival.
Your topic's are so interesting, I feel like I'm learning when I watch you on UA-cam. I appreciate how you explain what you are doing 👍😊. Thank you so much for the enjoyment sharing your lives with me.
The time lapse of the fire - to be able to see it physically burn down - is SO cool!
and the size of those brussel sprouts! YUM!
Remember where those pallets were burnt or your SXS tires will find the nails. Great meal as always. Thanks for the video
We were just talking about the plan for our bees this year. We do almost the very same as you do. Except with out the bottom shim. We also use a pillow case but put fiberglass insulation in it as a attic box. I havent made the candy boards yet but will do it next week and normally we will wrap them around the end of October. Its always a little sad putting them to bed for winter. Good luck with yours this winter
Different countries have different cultural traditions.I come from Mongolia, a girl on the grassland.Welcome to my village.
Hi guys!! Everything you guys make is amazing!! Thanks for taking the time to film and upload for our pleasure! Thank you both for continuing to open y’all’s doors to your wonderful lifestyle 💗💗
One of my favourite UA-cam channels that I always learn a thing or two. Other than the mountains your terrain and plants is about the same as we have in northern Ontario, anyways I end up being very hungry watching your videos, you two Rock, Thanks!
Frederick Moller here in Killarney Ont our temps are often the same as theirs. Here it's zone 5b because of the La Cloche range.
You guys are not only surviving but you are thriving since your move to Alaska. Great job guys! Hats off to y’all. Sending love all the way from VA.
Dang ... those are some beautiful brussels sprouts! What a meal guys .... you have a wonderful imagination when it comes to cooking ..... such delicious combinations. Nobody can say your meals are boring .... they are an adventure in cooking. Take care .... bon appetit!
The production behind these videos is getting so good (especially the drone footage) good job guys 🙂
Yaaay 😍 I have been waiting for a new one from you guys! What's on your to do-list before winter comes? 😊
I’m sure takes some skills to do everything, it is meant for some people, I love to watch everything you two do together,.. Alaska is so beautifu!!, you guys are awesome teaching all this work, I enjoy very much everything you do
I have never seen or known of a young couple who does so much for the land and get so much from the land ya'll I'm extremely Proud of ya'll stay awesome thumbs up my friends I think that the amazing bee hives will do great
You guys get SO creative with your cooking-it's wonderful to see! The homestead is certainly coming along :)
I have chanterelle mushroom envy. Gosh, that was a lot of lovely mushrooms you found Eric!
Seems like the brassicas do very well up in Alaska. Its a joy following your channel. Thanks for sharing.
You two are so talented in every way. Such hard workers. Your food always looks amazing!!
Those Brussel Sprouts look amazing!!!
Highlight of my weeeeek!!
Bo reminds me of the dog (Nana ?)
in Peter Pan...Just making sure everone's doing ok!
Lovely to see the fall season and the prep for winter! Those high-bush cranberries were huge!! Enjoy the jelly - I'm drooling in remembrance! Awesome job, as always, and dinner looked wonderful - I know people have used collard greens as wraps, but I don't usually see it here in the NW - I'll definitely have to try that. :)
Never did I think in the Alaskan winter there would be little mice awake and a threat to your tree's and bees. I thought everything hibernated in winter. @15:17 Ariel and Eric those Beetroot are Amazing. Love fresh beetroot grated with raw carrots yummy. Another brilliant video. Thank you from Australia x🐀🥕🥔🐝🐝🐝😇
Why do I feel like this is the 1st time I've seen Eric without a hat? A handomsome noggin you have there, lad!
From Kenya love watching you
Jambo!
I absolutely love watching your channel. It is always nice to see how you make a wonderful meal out of your own garden. You both a very inspiring.
I don't understand why watching this video makes me cry. you two are so sweet, God bless you and everything that you do.
Your opening, the scenery and the banjo, then the drums, that was beautiful -- like the opening of a great movie. Wow. Your dinner looked soooo good. In fact it looked so good, it is easy to forget how healthy it is. Thank you for sharing.
You guys do such an amazing job at editing... Love this. Such great shots with music and whatnot.
That dinner looked awesome! Hunting season opens here in Florida for modern gun in November and I'm hopeful there will be venison in our freezer. Looks like those greens used as grape leaves turn out great. Thumbs up for you all even the chickens. 🙂
Best is to put them in a small shed and cover with blankets to keep wind chill and snow away.
Your dog is hilarious. He is in the middle of the camera with the look of why are you guys bothering me. lol
I really need to step up my game....
The fast forwarding of the burn piles was very cool.
Yes, it was amazing. Fun to watch over again. 👍
Yes, it was amazing. Fun to watch over again. 👍
Looking forward to winter with you both. Been a hot year here in the desert love your videos. They saved me.
Wouldn't it be good to make a smaller version of the wood shed over the bee hives to keep the rain/snow/moisture away?
Did you have much scrap left over from the wood shed?
Seems like now would be a good time to dig the holes & put the logs in the ground before it freezes again.
Yes great Idea!! That would help for being in alaska!!! I'm from Pennsylvania 🐝🐝 love my Bees
More folks should keep bees. It would do wonders for the environment and hopefully allow the bee population to thrive again.
Hi Arielle! Hope you can also do a video about homesteading and off grid living as a woman, like how you deal with feminine products and things like that. Hope you two have a great week :)
Great job educating people that controlled burns, brush clearing, etc are an effective way to manage the fire risk. Here's hoping officials in California are watching.
Siempre me disfruto sus videos y estos paisajes tan bellos muchas graciaz por compartir . Siempre los veo
Que imagens lindas de lugares lindos, parabéns ótimo trabalho amigos, legal,
lets hope they will "bee" okay
im sorry ... lol
Pretty gay.
I love your videos, I live my younger years all over.Thank You Both.
Maybe consider investing in a wood chipper or renting one instead of burning the brush? Wood chips could be used as bedding/ground cover for your chickens and in your gardens to help retain moisture.
Have you considered building a removable "shed" over your beehives? It wouldn't need to be airtight, but a least a windbreak would keep it from getting hit from freezing wind and snow build up.
The onions that didn't 'fold' can be canned or pickled.
While I agree that would probably be best in terms maximizing usefulness of the brush, there might not be enough of it to justify renting a chipper, or there might be too much of it to justify the time spent processing, with only 2 people, when they have plenty of other chores to get done.
On the show ALASKA’S LAST FRONTIER, they wrap quilts around their bee hives for the winter
That sounds like a gay idea
@@OrangeDiamond33 Insulating a hive is a great idea. Either with bought 'bee cozys' or improvised. Anything to reduce the heat loss will reduce their honey consumption, which means less water being released into the hive and water/cold combination kills bees.
Gonna GetYa Since bees are insects and produce no heat whatsoever I’m curious what heat you’re preventing them from losing.
@@OrangeDiamond33 I know that bumble bees are able to thermoregulate/generate their own heat which allows them to functions at temps other insects can't. I think honey bees may bee the same. (ref Bernard Heinrich "In a patch of fireweed")
Matt Very interesting. I’ll have to check that out.
Alright. Just stop. Make enough dinner for all of us or none at all. I could taste the moose meat wrap filling from here.
pickled brussel sprouts are amazing!
love all of the videos and then you add your making of meals which is the topping on the whole thing. just love it all
I want their version of 2020....😕
When I first saw the title I thought oh no someone fell and hurt themselves then I started to watch the video and realized you ment the season fall glad I was wrong.
I did the same thing!
Karen Frantz Lol
I thought the very samw thing.
me too but then I thought it was because Im from Australia but am pleased when I realized it was a season rather than an actual "fall"- lol
Watching your responsible attendance to chores, maintenance and new solutions really motivates me to get off my slovenly butt and get productive. While I am not a homesteader and don't even have a yard, we downsized to a tiny living arrangement and want to live a more mindful, minimalistic, frugal, independent and orderly life.
Great video folks. Looking forward to seeing the first snowfall scenery. Its almost time to rest and enjoy what you have built for the winter.

"Salve" is pronounced "sav", kiddos.
It depends where you from, he pronounced it ok to me that’s what we call it in the UK lol everyone is different
Interesting, it is saLve in New Zealand too.
Yeah I didn't know what they were talking about until he defined the word. It's 'sav' in my dictionary too!
@@llamafromspace That is so weird who knew lol. I've never heard it pronounced that way.
No it’s not. Very dependant on where you are from. SaLve here in australia
The fruits of your labor are paying off nicely.
You guys are living the dream! Love your videos and have been binge watching the past couple of days!
Not to be too critical, but salve is pronounced "sav" or "sahv". no L. I still really like your videos though. :)
I looked it up... As I thought you were correct... But apparently either pronunciation is correct.
Says whom?
I just went to dictionary.com. Not a big deal folks. Just an observation. I didn’t see that salve was correct. You two are very hard-working individuals. Keep up the great videos.
@@JulieChave46 oxford dictionary
@@jenniferr2057 My Oxford, Cambridge and Google dictionaries all say Salv ( with a hard v) as the correct pronunciation
