    Wow, that is expensive fast food. Hope Heather is finally negative. Thank goodness her symptoms weren't as severe as they could have been. My Mom just told me my niece has covid and now my sister and my niece's two boys have to be tested. My niece works for the school. Hope you have a wonderful weekend and you get that roof finally shovled. Unless of corse it has already happened, in that case woohoo!😁 love y'all!😘💖🐾💖🐾💖🐾💖🐾💖🐦💖🍗

      We only do KFC maybe once a year, every once in a while we get A&W from there there, the root beer floats are special. Be careful this strain of covid seems like it's going to get everyone, at least it's not terrible like the first round. The snow guy came and gave me a quote of $1000, I do have a big house and a lot to move. He said he will be here Sunday... we will see. Have a great weekend 💖

      If they can find there way in town there is lots of trees and bushes for food. That Momma is a regular to that area, She was on the river with her baby, I never seen them down there before. Heather is doing okay, I think she rather enjoys the Rapunzel life. Thanks, have a great weekend 🥰💖

    So pleased for you that Mary and yourself are keeping well, let's hope Heather will be fighting fit again really soon. Great that you can get such a variety of storage containers, all you need now is food deliverys so you have something to put in them. The cost of having your roof cleared is ridiculous. Throw Mary up there, she's young and healthy 😕. SORRY MARY. Keep well and safe, sending love 💞

    Praying that Heather feels better soon and test negative. I was watching the Costco part And I can’t believe your prime meat it’s so much cheaper than ours is at our Costco we are in Vegas and the meat prices at Costco are through the roof.

    • @AlaskanBearsVlogs
      @AlaskanBearsVlogs  2 роки тому +2

      Thank You, Heather is getting there, she is asking for more food, haha. I thought our meat prices were really high, Costco is cheaper on meat than our regular stores and you cannot get prime meat here anywhere, or at least you couldn't until Costco came along. Funny, I though meat would be cheap in Vegas.

  • @AloneinRemoteAlaska
    @AloneinRemoteAlaska 2 роки тому +1

    Do you think that the lack of food is because they haven’t recovered from the storm or something else? Thanks bringing us along! The moose are always a sight to see!!!

      @AlaskanBearsVlogs  2 роки тому

      The Costco trucks were held up by bad weather in Canada. Now the regular stores are being smacked with tons of recalls on meats and packaged salads. I don't know what else. I have learned from the past to keep a good 3 to 4 months on hand this time of year and try not to even go to the stores.

    Takes time to bounce back.
    That roof snow is major money for some. Hope no damage surfaces when late spring melts.
    Because our sun is so intense, ours slide off the roof. It sounds like thunder and can shake the house.
    Really glad my pitch isn't towards driveway.
    Hopefully produce improves in 7- 10 days.
    Those truckers don't stop despite the accidents.
    Stay safe and warm.
    Wish you luck getting help and thanks for sharing the moose and her calf with us.
    I hope they find food during this deep snow, impossible to forage and root.

    • @AlaskanBearsVlogs
      @AlaskanBearsVlogs  2 роки тому +2

      I do need a new roof which is why I am concerned, but have to wait for renovations, we need a special roof and were looking at doing metal, I wouldn't have these issues, LOL. I try to have enough food around for 3 months, we are always good on food, I did order some powdered eggs, gonna try those. Yeah, the guy looked at my roof and raised me to the $1000, it is a big house, and he will remove the snow from the yard around the house too. The trucking issues came at a bad time, we have lots of recalled foods too, it doesn't help. Sorry kind of going back and forth here, the dogs are distracting, 🤣

      @@AlaskanBearsVlogs i understand costs here..food and PPE aren't coming from the west with the weather they aren't used too.
      We aren't moving trucks up due to storms in the northern 48.
      Some of our products are raised here then processed in other provinces. They aren't returning timely. Most of our greens that come from the state's are recalled right now.
      Metal roofing is the way to go but still can't handle weight. It's about installation and gauge.
      I'm hoping ours doesn't have a slide when the dogs are out. Always looking up. It can extend two to three feet then refreeze suspended over head and too high to knock off.
      Added costs neither of us need right now.
      Stay warm and thanks for sharing.

    Isn't it annoying when workmen don't turn up and no explanation either, so frustrating. I hope you eventually get someone to sort out the roof and yard for you.
    I feel sorry for the Moose and all the other animals that are struggling to get around and find food. I hate to think of any animal suffering .
    The 5 days of isolation have now been put in place in England instead of 10, we are still waiting for the new changes to come from Wales. ( Scotland, Ireland , England and Wales have all had slightly different rules in place)
    Mary, what a beautiful and kind young lady you are helping the family with fuel etc xxx Take care everyone and stay safe.
    Sending warm wishes and hugs your way. Xx

      Heather is mostly okay, just cough and stuffy, runny nose. Best just to wait it out until day 10. I understand everyone is very busy right now clearing snow but yeah, don't say you are going to do it if you can't. I tried to get in contact with him again today, he came and looked, said he could do the snow removal Sunday, but jumped to the $1000 price. I hate to see animals struggling too, it's fun to see so many more of them in the neighborhoods though. Sending hugs from us Bears 🥰🤗

    Back in the day there were 'drivers' that didn't yield to the Moose on the road. These moose can get a major attitude IF they think you challenging them. Like in my time, you really are at the mercy of the Great Alaskan Highway. We always stored MRE's in case the chow halls were out of food. The guide lines change from state to state. I need to pay better attention to them for SoCal. Hope Heather feels better soon.

    • @AlaskanBearsVlogs
      @AlaskanBearsVlogs  2 роки тому

      I have seen moose do some damage to cars, when they are threatened, some of those moose weigh as much as the car! A lot of people keep MRE's here, we usually don't but we have a working pantry and some long term storage, over the years my long term storage is becoming bigger. I am trying my hand at using more powdered eggs. I would raise chickens if I had a good place to put them. Heather is getting better thanks.
