Clearing the Path at the New Cabin | We Move In!

- After our long road trip to Oregon and back we felt the weather was right to make the big move to our new home. With plenty of work to be done at the new property, we jump right in and get started removing snow around the yard and unpacking.
We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀
Thank you for watching and supporting our channel! 💙

With the amount of snow you get up there, it may be a good idea to invest in some snow chains for the tractor. It'll certainly make a difference when pushing the plow. Looking forward to see what you have in store for this new property.
I think the fluid filled tires Eric mentioned are how a lot of people handle lifting and pushing increases.
@@duanechadwick331think about sub freezing temps.
I agree that chains would be great.
A word to the wise on the backhoe. If you are not using the hoe, pin it with both of the pins. Less likely to damage the hoe or other property. Likewise, trying to hydraulicly moving the hoe without removing the pins will likely damage the pins.
I know that buying my Branson was one of the best things I have done for myself and those friends that I have been able to help with it. Just today my neighbor again thanked me for moving six yards of gravel for him last fall.
Be cautious about getting water or ice into the loader control lever assembly. It can break if you try to force it when frozen. Damage to the rubber boot allows moisture to enter the assembly. Packing the parts inside of the boot with grease helps to protect against ice accumulation.
Enjoy your new toy.
Thank you!
I would add to that, when it’s this cold out engines and hydraulics like to warm up a few minutes. Maybe you did and edited that out, but setting the throttle on a fast idle, maybe 1000 rpm for 5 minutes will add many hours of life to a diesel (& even gas) engine. I realize you were also racing daylight, I always am too!
Was about to suggest the same thing.
Looking good so far guys! Lots of work to do , you both will eventually get it done! So glad you’re keeping the chickens and the bees! Can’t wait to see the cat again also! Enjoy, love you both!❤
Just wanted to give you a safety tip. I grew up around tractors on the farm, never crank a tractor standing on ground! Many accident has happened that way. Just a tip from an old folk 😉
I’m a little sad you have left the old property 🥲 but looking forward to all the new adventures. Hope Beau and Bandit enjoy their new home. Happy Easter!
Wow, Eric and Arielle! Moving on the heels of that trip to get the Branson! You both are phenomenal! I am amazed continually by what you both accomplish in a day! I'm looking forward to seeing what this property helps you achieve! The coal furnace/stove is a beauty! Peppercorn, the chickens and bees will surely enjoy their new home! The boys will definitely appreciate the settling in, I'm sure. Congratulations on your new property! Your videography skills and editing are a talent in itself! Thank you for taking us all along!
The amount of work you guys do is mind blowing.. it's never ending but you are always up for the task.. incredible!
They don't have kids
@@rainbelledrops1858 and they make a killing on TH-cam. This is their jobs
If you are referring to the “boys”, means the 2 🐕 🐕!
When you have an abundance of funds you would be surprised what you can do!
Yay for the chickens! I’m glad you found a way. Good luck!
I love watching their chickens...they're beautiful.
All the time I've been watching you guys, I've never heard you tear each other down. That's truly unique. ❤❤
I'm sure they have a wonderful relationship but you only get to see 30 minutes of their day. It's a video so you can add and take away whatever you like.
Gotta admit I’ll be sad not seeing the old property. However, I’m SO excited for the new chapter! Watching Arielle start organizing the jars makes me happy! Lastly.. y’all be sure to take a rest soon, ok?💕
It is always so nice to see how you deal with setbacks. Unless there is more off camera your "well that just happened let's deal with it" attitude is such a blessing to watch. Thank you.
So exciting to move to your new home and hitting 700K this summer ! I hope the animals adjust in time and you two take such good care of them they will calm down.
Congratulations on a safe trip back home to Alaska and your new property
Your backhoe attachment should have a locking pin which will keep the boom from swinging left or right during normal tractor use. The boom and bucket should be in the fully retracted (up) position when not in use. You should've also gotten 3 point attachment hardware for using 3 point attachments. Removing the backhoe takes practice. I keep my backhoe stored in my barn on concrete with plywood under the bucket.
I am 82 years old. When I see the drive and energy you display in getting objectives accomplished, I just watch in utter amazement ho you appear to go seemingly non-stop. I know you stop to eat, to drink a coffee, but you do that standing. But at least you get the areas clean of snow to be able to move around and be able to store things at the right place, no use moving things twice! Congratulations on what you achieve, including getting the tractor. On the way doing that you almost drove past the house where I live, right in Chilliwalk, BC. I very much enjoy your videos, and thank you for sharing your experiences!
So glad you have everything on this one channel... So many divide their vids into different channels but yours is so interesting with a bit of everything ❤❤
A rear mount snowblower would be nice on that new tractor
Thanks Eric & Arielle! Love tagging along on your new challenge. It's another phase in life to be exited about, scary or not. We are approaching another phase too 😉 it's so exciting, invigorating, and look forward to what each day will challenge us with. Thanks again for sharing...LOVE YOU GUYS 🥰
( from SW Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 )
I couldn't have said it better myself! I, too, am coming up to a new phase this year, moving 1600 km across the country
Hi, where in SW Ontario? Happy Easter from Oakville.
As a Swede Who lives in a country that is 2/3 arctic
so i like the video. It's like being at home.
North part of Sweden and Norway (Scandinavia) has winter
9 months a year. The snow depth is in some places 3 meters (9ft 10).
The temperature can drop to -45° C (-49° F).
Wonderful to see people who live like we do.
Thanks for the upload.
Woke up here in the UK and it's Easter Sunday morning and saw this Easter video gift from you. Thank you Ariel and Eric, better than any chocolate egg! A new Alaskan beginning for you both and not forgetting Bo and Bandit.
You know ya love this channel when you are watching another video n see yal and click on over 😂❤❤❤
Looking forward to seeing the layout of your land without all the snow. It’s been raining and cold for two days here in the South. I’m sure my cold would be your heatwave 🤣. Hope y’all have a wonderful Easter weekend! Take care and God bless! 😀❤️
Yay! You're in your new cabin! Love your love for each other , your teamwork and can do attitude, and your love of adventure. Bring them chickens home😊
I’m constantly amazed at the knowledge you both have! Eric with his ability to put together a heater, troubleshoot a generator and change break pads on the fly…Arielle whipping up homemade noodles and breads. The veggies you grow are flawless. Don’t forget to retrieve that beautiful soil when the snow is gone.
So happy and excited for you as you begin this next chapter. Best wishes and enjoy the ride!
Oh I know you guys have a ton of work to do getting your new place like you want it… but I’m excited for you.. how cool is that having moose in your yard 👍🏻 I know your going to be glad that you kept your chickens too.. happy, happy ,happy for your guys
Probably the first YT’ers with a “Watch Moose” , protect them from bad things….slumming for free food (I’m trolling as I have know idea if Moose are that way at all)
Happy Easter!! what kind of shop are you going to have
I never commented before but wanted to mention two things: First, congrats on moving in - you both must be so excited; and lastly so cool to hear you purchased from DS Stoves, Gordonville, PA - the area that I was born and raised. I hope the DS Energy Max 160 serves you well in the shop, Eric. Please update us on its performance later. :)
Thank you so much!! We will keep you posted ;)
Really happy for your new place. The thing I notice immediate is space, space, and more space. What a great beginning for a homestead. That snow plow blade did a remarkable job of clearing & piling the snow too.
Snow clearing with your tractor is going to be a blast now after all your years of using a snow blower and shovel lol
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH!!!🎉🎉🎉 Moving is DEFINITELY hard work!!!😅😅😅 I'm glad y'all have made your move Safe and Sound!!!🙌🙌🙌 I can't wait to see all of the things that are coming!!!💯💯💯 Much Love and Prayers from FL 💖💞🌴🙏💖💞🌴🙏💖💞🌴🙏
Glad the chickens and Pepper are in the next load. Beautiful new home! Your videos are always inspiring and entertaining.
Man I would have needed like a month to recover from that trip to get the tractor and here you guys are just going full steam ahead with your move!
I’m loving watching the process! I’m sorry you have to wait for the snow to melt to get your shelter thing back in place.
Wow didn't expect your move so fast, but how nice just in time for maybe Spring?😊. The tractor was a good buy and makes work so much easier especially with more acreage. Can't wait for the new adventures on your new home. Once again congratulations on your new home. Be Blessed. 😊🇺🇲
Awesomeness You all made it back to Alaska, with Tractor in tow… that’s a lot of miles.. and challenging to the body and the vehicle…
Everything is coming together! In the spring when you all are ready to move the shelter logic, you could screw either spruce poles or lumber to the legs of the shelter logic and drag the shelter logic into place on the wood as skids. We attached 4x4 pressure treated skids to our shelter logic it helps keep it more ridged as well.
Is your wood/coal furnace something that can heat the slab of your shop/ like radiant tubing? If so, here’s an idea… attach a greenhouse to the end of your gable shop wall and run some radiant tubes in a different thermostat zone out into your greenhouse beds, this would extend your growing season. I would first dig out an area and line the area with rigid foam on the ground and up the sides of the perimeter of your greenhouse then fill with soil, and tubes.
We love love love your episodes and look forward to them weekly, especially the longer shows 😊 we really appreciate you two!
What a beautiful Moose!
She looked like she was just about ready to drop calf
Congrats on the move to your new home. Cant wait to hear the plans, especially for a new garden. So excited to see what you will be building, loved watching the old place start as a bare patch that you grew into an awesome place with all the building work you both did. Gonna be a ton of hard work but I am certain you will make it work. Very happy for you both. Hope Beau settles soon, bless him. Stay safe xx
It's incredible how you two are able to make the drudgery of moving look fun! I really enjoy keeping up with your video's.
“Everyone’s stuck!” Bandit…ZOOM! 😂
Wow, wow, wow. I’ve said it before, there’s nothing you two can’t do together, and with grace!
Eric looks so happy with his new toy, it is a beast!
,
I’m happy to hear the chickens will live on too..Happy new home! Can’t wait for the next chapter video 😊
some see a flat tire... but really... "free bolt!"
You guys are so inspiring. Thank you for sharing this bit of your lives with strangers around the world.
you need to look at getting a set of chains for the front wheels on that tractor; it will make a big difference in how much snow you can push with a set of chains on the front wheels
I love the chemistry & teamwork you 2 have determination of living your dreams can't wait to see the chicken move have a great week👍
Wishing you all the best in your new home. Can’t wait to see all the great things you will do to it.
Your problem solving skills never ceases to amaze me, as well as the research you do when acquiring a new piece of equipment. I love how people in the know give you advise. What a great online community you have.
Oh, how exciting! I wasn't expecting a "moving" video. I am re-living my younger days when I watch you. The memories my husband and I made are wonderful. You will always cherish your memories as well. Thank you so very much for sharing your life with us. We love every video. Can't wait for your next one. God bless you both!
Love the new tractor! They're expensive but so worth it! Also the animals will adjust to the new place soon! So happy for y'all!!!
Hello from the U.P. Michigan. 👋
Just got another foot of snow a week ago. Pretty sure you are warmer than we are.
Have 2 gallons of maple syrup finished so far for the season so that's, that. 😆
I’m I love your videos. I always have! I am completely convinced that you must write a book about your lives moving to Alaska! Sure you are busy, aren’t we all! I think your focus of this book has two points, first the bravery you possess to move to Alaska AND how you covered the cost to do so! How could you be so brave, so adventurous and so confident to move forward as you did! Just as Dick Prennicke did videos of his life in Alaska in 1968, you could be the new pioneers!
How did you summon the courage to move to Alaska?
How did you find a place or location that you wanted to live?
How did you buy your first home site?
What adaptions did you make?
What challenges did you face?
How did you improve your homesite?
Tell us about your solar choices! We’re you happy with your purchases? What would you do differently?
What challenges did you face growing food?
How devastating was the root cellar?
Paint the picture of your struggles for fresh water, outhouse, and income to pay your expenses!
You love the outdoors, bring us along to experience your highs and lows, explain what you’re thinking as you work through your problems and your celebrations!
Everyone loves the dogs, explain your thoughts and the well being of them and how that may limit your trips but they enrich your lives! The cat is fun but all cats are so independent!
I really want to know more about your decision to buy the other property when you already had two properties! How much is enough? Why
You clearly show your flair for cooking delicious foods, teach us more! How did you learn to cook? How did you learn to can? How did you develop your style? How did you learn to draw the audience in as you do?
You two poses magic in your hands and words, you have such an easy way of describing your experiences and I’ll be that each and every subscriber would be delighted to buy your first 1,000 copies and then the rest of the world would discover you and beat a path to your door to buy your book!
You two are clearly so much different from all of the other liar liar pants on fire! I just adore you and ask that you seriously consider writing a book of your experiences!
God bless you all! Happy Easter
I would definitely buy their book!! ❤
Won’t it be nice when you get the last of your things up to the new place? 🤗 I know there is an urgency to ‘get it done’, so I am praying for strength, health & good wisdom in all the decisions you’ll be making ahead. Best wishes for the future, love following your adventures & just your ‘everyday life’! You both amaze me!💪
Happy Saturday guys! Im always look forward to your videos. It's got me asking the hubby to move to Alaska 😂😂
You guys are amazing. Hard work and adventure are in your blood. Great new tractor
Congratulations on the big move! Do y’all know the neighbor situation? Do you have any? How close is their main structure? Do the have kids? Etc…I’m feeling nostalgic for the original homestead already. You both put in so much backbreaking work just to start over again. A work shop is a must on an off grid property and now you finally have one! The tractor is perfect for the size of your property. Be well and stay safe, Doc✌🏼
You should see the glorious toe fuzz my Goldens grow!
It’s wonderful!
I love their Grinchy Toes!
Wow, Congratulations on moving into your new place! That tractor is way cool. Hoping both the pups and all your other animals will grow to love the new, much bigger space. Blessings and Happy Easter 🐾🐾🙏💜🌎☮️🌎💜🙏🐾🐾
Glad to see y’all making progress even with all that snow! Exciting time!
🎉🎉🎉 CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉🎉 ON REACHING 700,000 SUBSCRIBERS TO YOUR AWESOME CHANNEL @SIMPLE LIVING ALASKA ERIC + ARIELLE, BO & BANDIT, KITTY AND THE HENS🐾🐕🐶🐅🐆🐈🐱🐔🐣🐥
So excited for this new adventure... Thanks for taking us along.
Good morning to both of you and it’s Easter Day here in the Philippines ❤❤❤
I am so happy for you both! ❤❤❤❤
What an adventure! You two are amazing, thanks for sharing your life with us!
So excited for you guys! Congratulations on the move 🎉
Keep up the great work❤
Congrats on the move ...wishing you beautiful memories in the new place!!
What a beautiful cabin , love the stillness and how quiet it is . Pure heaven .
Yay! I'm so excited for you all! You have so much more room at the new place....I can't wait to see the progress! ❤
Happy Easter. Can't wait to watch later tonight
Looking for something to watch and you guys drop a new episode! 😎👍
Congratulations and looking forward to seeing what all you do with this new place.❤️🦉
I was so excited to see you two moving into the new cabin already! I'm happy for you both
You always look like you're having so much fun with life! I'm happy you have a new, larger home. I am also always struck (impressed) by the amount of vehicles, machinery, equipment (large and small) needed for an off-grid life in Alaska. We have a vacation home isolated in the forest on a large lake in northern Minnesota which has been in the family for 100 years and has always seemed remote. Maybe it was when I was a kid in the 50s, but now a plowed road is closer, we were connected to on-grid electricity 30 years ago (still frequent blackouts with every storm but usually fixed within 24 hours), our water and plumbing is reliable, and 50% of the time we have mobile phone connection, so it is not anything like your situation.
Initially concerned about your move up here into the Interior, however you are certainly well equiped. What an exciting summer ahead. I hope you quickly make local connections to share in doing projects. With this late winter it will take awhile for the ground to unthaw. Nice you are able to mill your wood, but if you ever need some nice larger rough cut wood for heavy duty framing we REALLY like Northland Wood off Cushman Road in Fairbanks.
Awesome! So excited for you guys!
This move is so exciting. I am so excited for you guys. What an adventure☮️❤️
Congratulations on the move! 🎉 Our two dog's grow that extra fur to, here in Northern Michigan we call it "Grinch paw's" 😅😁
Dog paws: does that fur shed as the weather gets warmer?? My Australian shepherd grows it too, but I always have it trimmed when he goes in for grooming!! Should I just leave it??? 😬
Much excitement! The pups will adjust. Having familiar items around and their smells will help. Very happy to see you are bringing the chickens. I know it will be more work initially, but worth it long-term. Have you guys made a decision on the bees yet?? Thanks for another lovely video!❤
It’s so much fun following your adventures - Happy Easter!
Your videos are always a treat. Thanks for making them. Super excited to watch you build your new place out.
WOW, Eric & Arielle, your energy levels are amazing! Yet again, you make what most of us would think of as a daunting and overwhelming challenge simply and exciting adventure. You both seem to have mastered your tractor in no time flat! Kudos for all your hard work and Congratulations for setting your course and following through with your move. Can’t wait for your next video! Happy Easter! Maybe it’s an Easter Moose who was setting up your Egg hunt!!!
Haven’t even watched it yet but I already know this episode is 🔥 as always.
Right on!Happy for you guys that you have a nicer cabin!
Wanting to see more it would be great! Love the adventure, love your adventures.
How exciting a new place to setup! I totally understand the work you all have to do, we’re getting a pod to put our things in temporarily while we get new hard wood floors in, it’s a lot of packing up ugh! Best wishes in your new place, lots of new memories we get to see! It was cool seeing the moose in your yard. I’ll stick with the deer 🦌 in mine lol. Awesome video! Thank you!
You all work fast! I wasn’t expecting the move so soon. Can’t wait to see what all you do at the new place. Will you sell your old place or the other two properties or turn them into rentals?
My English Springer Spaniel had long fur between the toes. It's to protect the pads. Here in Scottsdale AZ, she needed it for the hot days walking if we ran out of grass. I'd freak if the groomer forgot, & cut it all off. Ugh. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You guys are awesome! I’m so excited to be apart of your new journey. Can’t wait to see your dreams come true on your new property
Woot, woot!! Moving day. Cannot believe there is still so much snow.
You guys are amazing with the amount of work you get done! The new tractor is really something and much needed for you. Your new cabin is really nice. Moving is exciting and a lot of work, but gratifying to see it take shape.
Thank you for this; sure love watching your adventures, changes and co-workings!!! I wish the very best for yous as time presents its self!!
Have a wonderful Easter you guys. Pleasure watching the progress.
Just when I didn't think it could get more exciting!!! I love that you just sprung that on us!! So great. Now I cannot wait for the next. Eric your face when you were unloading that first tote with the red beastie .. like a proud dad 😂
Such a joy to watch and as usual, just great filming and editing .. no superfluous scenes .. straight to business!!
Woohoo!! Bring it on Spring!
Yay!! It's so great to you at your new place. It'll be better once the chickens and kitty are there!! 💗
I just love the simplicity of your channel. Excited to see the new place without a ton of snow.❤🎉
I absolutely love watching you guys. ❤😊
First comment! Yay. Love your vids guys, keep it up!
Good to see you putting your new red tractor to good use straight away, looks like it's going to be a great asset there at the new cabin. Thank's guys for the video update.
Great Job...Never a dull moment with you two....
Best couple on TH-cam. I love how real you both are. Hard working and amazing people. I am excited to see how the new homestead comes together and changes; especially with all that you learned from your first Alaska home.
I left a question about highway horses on last video as I was curious to the location of them. They could be wild ones or some that escaped from where I live. I really admire watching how hard work pays off. I look forward to seeing how you uncover the potential of the land once again.
Yay! So happy for the moving progress!
Very exciting video! Can’t wait to watch your adventures with the new home! Thank you!
Super excited for you guys. The new properties looks promising !
