the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
You all are keeping me company for several months since my hubby died in June. So interesting. Real people. Love the ingenuity and the resourcing. Using everything. Your adventures are great.
That hurts my heart 💔 We are so sorry for your loss, thank you for your kind words.
❤I’m so sorry for your loss I lost my husband in July last year
I lost my husband three years ago. The heart is still broken but life still goes on. Trust in Jesus and allow him to take your heaviness. 🙏🕊
So so sorry for your loss hun!! There are no words for how I feel.. seek solace in God and take it one day at a time, one moment at a time, and it is OK to cry and grieve..
That solid track i thinks a seal ,lol jk
LOVED the end when Arielle spun around with the sparklers and just kept going off-camera! You two are the epitome of what life is all about: happiness, adventure, and love.
Whenever my grandmother added blueberries to pancakes, muffins, cake,etc., she always added a little bit of flour to them. Enough to coat them good. Then gently folded them into the batter. This helped to keep the batter from turning blue. In cakes, it helped to keep the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the cakes. In pancakes, another thing she did was to add the blueberries to each pancake as you cooked them. You added the blueberries as soon as you put the batter into the pan. Then flipped as usual.
Thanks to you, I get to experience Alaska once a week. Amazing!
Amen , beautiful country ty Jesus for content creators ❤️
I feel the same way, I have always wanted to visit Alaska!
Lol
Me too! Being in Brisbane Australia an 'all 🤩😃
Agreed, really priceless
When most other TH-camrs are so concerned about the perfect lighting you guys are just working away with the flashlight's like nobody's business 👏👏 and the content is still the best in my opinion ☺️ Good work. Keep it up!
Ariel releasing her inner child with those sparklers was the best!
An hour video? How are we so lucky?! I LOVE your longer videos! Also, great Home alone quote Eric!
Taking a break from Junior year nursing school studying to watch this. Sometimes I play y’all’s videos in the background to center myself! There’s such a calming presence that radiates for you two amazing people! ❤❤
Thank you 🥰 Wishing you the best in your future endeavors!
Sophomore nursing student here, and I do the same thing! :) Arielle and Eric really do bring us some amazingly informative and calming content!
You hit the nail on the head!!!
Old retired nurse here. Wishing you a wonderful career. #1 advice ... always be kind and if you get flustered hide in a closet and scream in a pillow then put that smile back on and get to work NURSE. Huggs
Nurses ROCK!
thumbs up on music and storytelling editing. good job we appreciate all your time & efforts
You should put the white bucket in the sink with the hot water in it. 🤔
Start off with the smallest least dirty items like glasses and such, then work your way onto the larger dirtier items. Place the dishes in the sink until rinsing. It's much easier.
"I grew up as a kid, Ariel" That made me chuckle. Thanks for another awesome video. I can't wait to see the transition to the new cabin. Happy New Year!
made me smile too haha. Eric went full " watch this"
I bought a kindling ring on amazon for my mom because i saw her sitting in her chair with a hatchet and trying to split kindling while watching tv. Since I didn't want her to accidently slip and cut an artery in her leg, it was a very sound investment. She loves it.
You are so lucky to be around snow. I have lived in Massachusetts for 46 years why whole life. We used to get harsh winters and snow over the last 5 to 6 years we have got hardly any snow it rarely gets to the teens and single digits. It is really worrisome. I’m glad I found your channel just subbed. Two years ago I got a great deal on some ll bean snow shoes they are still in the package. I would go nuts with them near your cabin.
I just love those sky views with the blue and pink...I could enjoy that!! I see why you want to live there.
an hour and 9 minutes!!!yay!!! Please keep up the long videos...can't get enough of you two!!
Right I LOVE this LONGGGG video.. They both are amazing
Yeah I agree!
Hey you guys, I hope 2023 brings you all that you wish for the coming year. Many thanks from across the pond in the UK for all the hours you have given us of your life in. Alaska. You helped me escape the loneliness of the isolation during Covid and the stresses that have come along with it. For me watching your lives in Alaska is real escapism and I know that it isn't the easiest of life for you but your positive energy, you resourcefulness reach right across the pond into my home. Many thanks for all the hard work you put into your channel to give us such enjoyment. May you, your four legged and two legged companions stay safe and well and so look forward to seeing your new adventures. 😀
Just rewatched this, and loved, while loading the trip vehicle:
'Coffee. Coffee. More coffee. OK, let's go.'
WOW YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST ❤️!!!! This video was 8-9 days old uploaded & had nearly 2000 comments when I left my comment yesterday . Thinking 🤔 you’d never see it or even care, “YOU SELFLESSLY STILL CAME BACK, READ AND LIKED ❤ MY COMMENT”. This speaks volumes for what kind of people you really are😉. I’ve been watching & commenting on TH-cam since 2005 or 2006 & I can honestly say that Most TH-cam content creators don’t do this. Most will post vids look 👀 at the first 200 comments or less & never go back. Nor do I think they care that much about their subscribers. But you guys aren’t the average ordinary creators :
NOPE 👎 U GUYS ARE EXTRAORDINARY! THANKS ERIC AND ARIEL
I LOVE ❤️& RESPECT YOU GUYS MUCH MORE NOW! U’RE NOW MUCH COOLER THAN I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT !!! 👏😁
Eric and Arielle you guys are the best! My wife and I live in Willow AK. We love watching your teamwork and how you love each other and adventure together
We also use wood for our primary heat and we found we boosted out burn times by about 10-15% if you rake your coals as close to the front (or back, depending on the air intake location) and then set the logs in parallel and layer them so they burn the logs from front to back like a candle. Helps us not have to get up at night as often 🪓❤️🏕️
Sometimes Bo just has the saddest eyes when you're putting him up into the car or something, like he's certain he could have done it, just these ol' bones :
I’m looking forward to your move. I loved watching you begin your life at your current home. I can’t wait to see your new garden plan and new builds. Here’s to a happy and healthy 2023! 🎉
This is my favorite channel!!! Definitely admire your hard work ethic and love for each other and your animals.
"This is frosted. Frosted Flakes." What a funny delivery haha
The new cabin seems to be an awesome well built structure . Your jointly inquisitive minds in running the firewood
fuel types comparison is what keeps me watching your channel. Of course, the endless variety of meals prepared
and impeccable filming of the Alaskan scenery helps too! All the best Arielle & Eric in 2023 . 👍🙏🏻🥣🍗🐕❤
You two are just plain fun 💚💚
Rewatching. I really appreciate the wood burn time study!!!
Ermine, mink, and other critters will wreak havoc on chickens so you will have to reinforce their run and coop areas with 1/4-inch hardware cloth to protect your hens and roosters (at your new place). Mink will bite them through the heads and necks - they are fiercely mean critters.
Kindling cracker is the way to go. Better way to keep your fingers
Thank you so much for this long video, what a treat !
I wish you both a very happy new year, thank you for what you bring here, it’s one of my favourite corners of the internet !
You guys are a great team made for Alaska! Love your resourcefulness and ability to roll with any punches!
Let’s go 2023 🎉
I love all the information you guys put out! Random fact, a lot of hunter/gatherer tribes used to kill trees while they were standing by peeling the bark away at the base. This would season the wood for them so they wouldn't have to process and store it to season.
That's very interesting! Thank you for sharing!
It's called "Girdling," we used to do it for Deer Camp (month Long) Definitely Kills & Seasons the Tree 🌳
Thank you for the gift of a one hour episode. It's exciting to see the new cabin. Those snow covered trees with the pink sky were stunning. I think you guys are going to flourish there. Wishing you a wonderful New Year! And again, thank you for sharing.🙂❤
Wow, your cabin gets really warm.
Yay for seeing ravens, foxes, and dogs in the trail cam.
You are the most beautiful couple,many of people can learn from you.
Truly enjoy the longer videos ❤ my fave part was Arielle realizing the romance of a bath 😂
Bandit is a handsome lanky boy, Bo remains just a squishy puppy face.
I love them.
Y'all would be great parents
I was so impressed with the speed and technique with the hatchet. I've only seen cutting in half, then in half again...
I always look forward to your videos, you both are so unpretentious and amazing with what you do. Probably one on just a very few true homesteaders on YT.
After my 70+ yr. old husband saw you use the Kindling Cracker, a year or two ago, he got on line and found one for our cabin. It works amazingly well! He can cut a lot of kindling without a lot of strain and pain on his arthritic body. I've been to Alaska twice, once in 1968 (Alcan highway was large rocks back then), and both of us went for a month in 2014. We always enjoy watching you two!!
MUST’VE MISSED MY NOTIFICATION ON THIS ONE.....This video was 7-8 days old when I saw it in my algorithm. U already have 2,000+ comments so I doubt you’ll ever see my comment. BUT IF BY CHANCE U DO, THEN U’RE THE COOLEST FREAKIN ALASKA TH-cam CHANNEL EVER
👍😊👍!!!!! Well you are anyway but I mean about checking comments 😉!
Anywho guys I was gonna say, loved the video, I’m envious of you guys.
I’d love ❤️ to live in Alaska especially for the Hunting, Fishing, Trapping, Gold Panning/prospecting, Hiking, snowmobiling, photography, exploring, it’s definitely a paradise for all of that for sure!!!!!! 😃
I’d love to see you guys panning and sluicing for Gold! I guarantee if I was there I could make a pretty chunk of change $$$$
on Gold I could find in those rivers and streams! They say that less than 10% of The worlds Gold has been found so far & I know Alaska is still loaded in unfound Gold and precious gemstones 💎.
My thoughts
ABOUT THE CHICKEN COOP BUILDING..... Looks like it will be awesome, you’ll definitely have to make it 100% Predator proof. Especially for mink and weasels who can squeeze into very small holes 🕳 and openings. I’d go around the bottom of the building and underpin it to keep rodents from getting under it and possibly chewing a hole 🕳 in the flooring plywood big enough a mink or weasel to get in. U also could add a couple of very small 12-16 inch wide windows one on each side of the building up high on the wall. Just so the chickens 🐓 could get some sunlight ☀️ & vitamin D. Also so U could open the windows so they could get some ventilation in warmer months of summer. If I done that I’d add some heavier duty small square wire like “strong Rabbit cage wire” over the outside 0f the building over the windows. Extra protection to stop climbing & keep Ariel predators from coming in the window screens while you have them open in summer months. U also could get that thick rubber floor matting that pops together like a jigsaw puzzle 🧩 to lay over them plywood floors. This will prevent the chicken urine and manure from rotting out the floors. Or you could roll on several coats of epoxy over the plywood to give it a water & moisture proof protection. But looks like A great building for a chicken coop guys 😁👍
Good morning! This is another fantastic video, learned so much from you both it makes me wish I we’re young again. I would know so much more on woods and starting fires. You both are incredible, what I admire most is your creativity and determination. Your plans for the new year sounds just great… hope to have many more of your awesome videos to see you. You sure are the very best on TH-cam… when you post a new video, my heart warms up with joy and eagerness to enjoy.
Thank you. ❤
I love Eric's praise of a good cup of coffee. I can relate! Also, I vote for the 'kindling cracker'. It literally sings when you use it. I'm making bean, mushroom, and kale pasta tomorrow! All of that and New Year's fireworks too! Cheers! Here's to 2023 and to you and me and everybody!
I just wanted to say my 7&8 year olds just love your channel! We've watched half a dozen videos so far. My oldest said she hopes to be as cool as you guys 😂
What an absolute gift, an hour long treat! Happy New Year to you both. You have no idea how much joy you bring to me! My favorite TH-camrs by far.
Here I am, in Australia, a 39°c day predicted this weekend, watching your snow filled videos. I can't wait for winter, cooking on fire!
You guys are awesome
Also if you flour those frozen blueberries with some of the dry mix that also helps
I agree. The areas around blueberries in pancakes can take longer to cook, but adding flour seems to fix that problem. Although, I really like to just add them to individual pancakes right before I flip them.
Can’t say it enough! LOL.
Love your content, the editing and all of the adventures. Thank you for sharing ❤
Absolutely love your channel!!! My husband and I are in love with your new property! You may find the wildlife to calm down once your there permanently with your dogs marking their territory and just activity in general?
Can't wait to see what you both have in store for the new place. 🙂
Thats is one FULL wood burner 😀
You guys rock. Glad you had a good get away/new year's weekend. Here's to lots more adventures in 2023!
Word to Eric:
Never call Ariel a bad cook. 😅
I can’t wait to see you guys when you move there and bring the chicken’s it’s going to be a awesome 2023 on your channel ❤🎉😊
Love the adventures you take us all on with you, You both are an inspiration the way you two have a bond with love for each other. Hope all your dreams come true this year.
Living the Alaska life , God Bless...
As a lifelong resident in the upper Midwest who lives out in a rural area a skid loader is such a vital tool to have. Snow removal goes so fast, you can buy attachments that pull trees, drill post holes, picks up brush and trees, etc, etc. Best of luck with your new place and thanks so much for letting us tag along. Best wishes for 2023.
I agree ❤
@@mti2035 look into the side door loaders. So much easyer to get in and out of. Or a tractor PTO come in handy.
Amen. Hard to beat a skid loader for clearing snow on a small lot.
The tracks you asked us to identify is the pretty white bird you were just hunting I’m not sure of the spelling but starts with a P… and we love our kindling splitter because I can help my hubby. Happy New Year Eric and Ariel cheers from Ontario 🇨🇦

Great video Eric and Arielle
Good vid, good people, good audience, good information!
Your new cabin looks awesome 😊 can‘t wait for all the new adventures. I love watching everything you guys do and cook 🤤
Thank you. I so look forward to your postings. I love seeing Bandit, Bo any your loving relationship. Love seeing you do activities and survival together. Also, love the scenery you post. Alaska looks soooo peaceful. Thank you and GOD Bless🐞🙏👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🙏🐞
I'm watching you from Turkey. I don't know any English and I learned a bit by watching you. There was a huge earthquake here.
Onion hack we just learned. Set a wet paper towel near where your cutting the onions. The gas from the onion is attracted to moisture, your eyes are the nearest moist source when slicing, but the gas will be attracted to the wet paper towel instead. Tried it today, it worked, no tears. Felt bad for you Eric when you were slicing.
What a beautiful cabin! I can’t wait to follow your journey to moving to your amazing cabin in the spring. Your vlog is so entertaining as always. Keep warm. Best ❤
I absolutely love your videos. I look for them each week. The only problem is I could watch you much more often.
One thing I wanted to say is I absolutely adore how kind you are to your dogs and how good you are to them. You can really see how much they mean to you with how gentle and thoughtful you are to them at all times. Keep up the good work in all you do.
Keep the good work up
Gays,waiting for 2023 as a great year.God bless you with happiness and warm wishes from Pakistan…
Oh I love a road trip, thanks for sharing with us!!
You guys are such an inspiration 💗 Love all the beautiful scenery!
Yeah Alaska has many much different nature, and all of it beautiful.
Happy New Year to you guys as well!! Wishing you both and the fur babies the very best of everything this year. Can't wait to see all the progress to come on the new cabin :)
Wow alot of Spring Happenings on the Ridge I'm excited to see what next week's begis

Thank You for another cold but fun adventure. Happy New Year to you and your fur babies! 🥂🥂🥂
Seems like Ariel wants an outdoor tub!! Woodfired soaked tub would be incredible
I say burn what ya got. Just stay warm! That's what I do.
Enjoy watching ye and the fur babies only hear one bark
Oh my goodness! Over an hours worth of quality viewing....Thanks much!
How lovely.. I wish I was there!💎
Me too
Thank you for shoing this
Tip for you! Everytime we buy something use a sharpie to write the date, price paid and where purchased on the item! It helps a lot!
The lovely thing about this video is that you both looked like it was a holiday, you were relaxed and chilled which is so nice to see as we know your day to day life is not like that and I think it was because it was a longer stay than your usual little breaks.
Thank you so much for bringing this to me every week. I long for the day when I can live away from the hustle and bustle of the city. You all give me that inner peace while I wait.
A good visit...
Thanks!!! Enjoyed!!
👍🐺🧙♂️🦊👍
We installed a Blaze King Princess cat stove a few years ago, and LOVE the long burn times we can get on that thing. 18 hour burns and 24+ hot coals.
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures in life
