Great video as usual gang ❤
When I was a kid our local chemist made Creosote cough mixture. It worked because after mum gave you a dose you dare not cough again otherwise she would would give you more. It was horrible tasting 😂
Yay🎉🎉 I've been waiting on this 2024 calendar!!! I'm so happy that you guys have bought and moved to the new cabin and loving it!
Amazing as usual! Still my favorite You Tubers! Another great video!
Getting one now!
OH hooray! I have been eagerly waiting. Thank you!
My mom is 77 years young. She taught my daughter when she was eight years old what sun dogs were. To this day, my daughter, who just turned 27, will text grandma “SUNDOG” every time she see one. And my daughter gets a thrill out of teaching others to look for them and telling people that they mean a change in weather is coming. A MEMORY SHE WILL ALWAYS HAVE OF GRANDMA ❤️
Thank you young lady. Most of my fondest memories are of my Grandmother.
So sweet! ❤
My kids and I always look for them and are excited every time to find them.
First good snow seems to motivate a bit more? Did the stove draw and heat better after the clean out? Thankz for sharing!
What is a sun dog
@@slowethan1415 it is a rainbow that doesn't touch the ground
I know it sounds strange but I had a stroke 1 year ago. God blessed me to almost fully recover. I had no memory of who I was or where I was. The PT set a computer laptop in front of me. I could envision your beautiful site and I typed it in Though she said it took a long time but it worked !! Here I could not remember any thing but I could remember you. I then was able to type in others that I remembered during the coming weeks. You really helped me regain most of my memory. You make a big impact on people's lives.
That is very kind of you and we both wish you well :)
My goodness, that scenery is breathtaking. You guys are so blessed to be happy in Alaska. Thanks for including us on your journey.
And I watch for the content, not for pictures and scenery… so I get frustrated and fast forward through all of it. 🤷♀️🙂
@@lindashively2530 slow down. The journey is beautiful. Blessings🌏🌎🌍💗
I always look forward to your videos love the scenery and love watching your journey. Thank you for sharing with us.
I miss read your opening line as
My Pokemon !
Im like, yep, there would definatley be lot of Pokemon in Alaska !
🤣🤣🤣🤣
To someone who ve never seen snow and changing seasons like fall , this seem magical
I've seen change many times and it never fails to seem magical (to me).
Yes it is, a transition, but always quite beautiful.
Snow is beautiful but definitely overrated and a hassle after awhile.
Magical is the perfect word to describe Winter. Snow quiets everything, so it's so peaceful. The nights are bright because the snow refracts the light of the moon, and the skies are so clear the stars are amazing. Out here in the countryside, we can look up see the Milky Way. I love it!
@@jaebee9308 wow. that sounds really amazing. I wish I get to experience all at some point. Out here we just have harsh summer and rain , winter is negligible
You guys should do an arctic entrance on the deck, keeping the cold wet out on the porch,before going in!! Save the floors -keep the cabin warmer ❤❤ if you have to relocate the stairs to make it work!!
I agree! Good Call👍🏻
A retired Fireman gave us a woodstove hint that has saved us so much time and work and possibly a fall off our steep roof: He advised us to throw a large scoop ( we use an old cereal bowl full) of barn lime on top of red hot coals in your stove, about once a week or so. It reacts with the creosote and makes it flake off and our chimney is always clean and we haven't had to brush it in over 40 years. The flakes fall down the chimney and you just periodically clean them out. No brushing, no falls and NO CHIMNEY FIRES. We've never burned pine, which has a lot more creosote but I would think it would work on that as well. It's a very inexpensive safeguard. We love watching you two. You remind us of ourselves when we were younger.
Your production values improves with each episode now. Lots of work; greatly appreciated. Stay warm being cool!
It doesn’t matter how big or small your property is, there’s always something that needs doing. Keep warm guys
Your photography in this segment is spectacular. It is normally great, but it seems that this time the combination of drone footage and stills are balanced and very artistically put together. Great channel. Love your work.
Yes the colors are beautiful you have done so much this year on your new property I love it! Can't wait to see what you tackle next!!😊
Even small improvements can make a huge difference! Y'all always get so much accomplished in such a short amount of time, kudos to you both!!!🎉❤
I absolutely LOVE the reflective/meditative intros you guys have been doing on your videos. Thank you for sharing your beautiful scenery
I live in Wisconsin and was glad to hear you had the calendar made there. Love the front cover. Looks like you'll be ready for the winter. It came fast up there. We have 50's and 60's here daytime and 40's and 30's at night. There's already been a hard freeze in northern Wisconsin, but not in my area, near Green Bay along the shores of Lake Michigan. The Lake keeps us (somewhat) warm in winter, cool in summer. Always enjoy your videos and how you both make the most of the land foraging, hunting and using the bountiful wood supply that the land provides. It's a joy to see you working together. Take care.
Loved the washing machine with the ringer. I grew up with it and loved how you could customize the water levels and soap according to type of clothes. Do several rinses as needed. Wring out clothes folded then hang to dry. Even before perma press clothes they came out pretty wrinkle free and easy to fold. It was very satisfying. Todays units are efficient but impersonal. I enjoy watching your program and admire your creativity, tenacity and sense of adventure and humour.
I loved that too.
My Nan had one ❤️
Another epic video...from breathtaking landscape shots, to daily life around the cabin, which I find so interesting... this video was super fun to watch...never wanted it to end. Love love love your channel! ❤❤❤
Just beautiful. Why do I always feel like a kid in a candy store when your new video comes on? ❤
same!!!
Me too and im 70!
I stayed up to watch this video! My, my, y’all never ever disappoint. I love the videography at the beginning and I’m captivated throughout. The chickens are thriving and kitty looking outside was so precious. Y’all think of every little detail- from oiling the outside of the cabin, cleaning the oven’s creosote, and managing forestry! You’re amazing. I really appreciate your work ethic and the love you have for our last great frontier. I can’t wait to order the calendar. Every time I look at it I’ll think about your beautiful Alaska adventure. You make Alaska come alive again in my memories and in my heart. Thank you both so much. Sending love and blessings ❤️🙏🏼
Cleaning up the woods around your place is always a good use of time. It can mean the difference between surviving fire season or being a victim of it.
Greetings from Denali Park, Alaska! You guys are a HUGE reason why I finally made the decision to move to Alaska this past spring. I'm in love with your videos; from how you both appreciate the simple things in life, to your passion for the wilderness and self-sufficiency. Your channel has taught me to appreciate the beauty in everyday life. I was SO GIDDY when I noticed I was harvesting the same fall goodies (lingonberries, hawks wing, etc) as you both in one of your previous videos.
Great video as always, and happy shoveling!
Just a thought guys, you said you plan on supporting the porch overhang, have you thought about a Arctic entrance? You could add one, that would really help support the roof at the same time! You 2 are a hard working team and get a lot accomplished, great job guys. Absolutely beautiful scenery in Alaska and always wanted to see it! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
The drone photography in your opening segment was gorgeous. The wild geese on the pond also beautiful. I love your photographic selections. The cabin looks really nice with fresh oil.
I love your videos. Love seeing the boys and of course you guys. Eric’s comment about keeping the animals happy is one reason I love you guys so much! So seriously what are our chances of you all posting more often 😂.
Great filming!
My house barely survived a creosote fire in a chimney. It is a very frightening experience. The chimney started to make the weirdest whoop whoop sounds as if it was breathing…and glowed red in spots. After that, the annual chimney sweeping was never forgotten!
Maybe you guys already do this, but I think it'd be wise to keep check lists for the months and seasons that you could refer to so that important things don't get overlooked. I love and look forward to your videos each week. Keep up the good work.
I have a feeling she is extremely organized. They know their seasons and what needs to be done. I've lived in Alaska and it's hard to be lazy and survive.
Amazing photography, great accomplishments & happy animals that are settled right in! Thanks for sharing! Blessings to everyone 🤗💕🇨🇦
If you have a wood chipper you can use the chips for the chicken coop, then to mulch the garden. Of course a few more steps than just throwing on the burn pile, but so good for the garden to feed the soil and keep the weeds under control. So much work completed this week!
I love your calendars!! They make great Christmas gifts, everyone. Your photographs are stunning. Thank you for taking the time to create this gorgeous collection of Alaska for everyone. 🥰
Hello you two,what a beautiful place you got,very well rigged up for the winter,animals well taken cared of.All set for winter.That grate Eric installed is awesome.Have a great and safe day .Greetings from Canada
Home sick in bed and your comfy videos are just what I need
It's a good time of year to clean-up the woods....no bugs! 😅 Always nice to tag along with all your projects.
I live in Texas but have ties to Alaska through some family friends that lived there. I spent 2 weeks there as a young man and loved it. I think your forestry management is fantastic, some people do not understand it and do not realize how healthy and beautiful you can make your forest. Arielle, I have commented before, your photography and cinematography are amazing! I love your channel and watching you homestead! Keep up the good work!
always love when a new video is posted. you truly relax my hectic life when i watch your videos. blood pressure totally goes down and so inspired by the lifestyle.
Opening drone shots were breathtaking. I work in film & TV and your camera work is better than a lot of drone operators in the business! I bought my calendar and I’m ready for 2024-another reason this year can’t end soon enough.
It might be good to put an airlock on the cabin and the coop to keep some of the heat in when you open the front doors. I also watched some videos from nordic countries where they use that little room for other things like storing certain foods in the winter. Your place is charming and I love watching the seasons transition.
How you guys are able to get calendars, videography, etc.,done and still film your daily adventures just blows my mind! Thank you so much! Watching the opening scenes brings down my stress level so quickly! So peaceful, so stunning! I never knew those little rainbow spots were called sun dogs! I have a new wrinkle in my brain! Love this channel! (Hint, hint, how about a coffee table book of your photographs?)
That would be a dream!! I don't know if I could make time for that 😄
I’d buy one!
That's very so cool to have!!😊
I love watching you guys. I’ve always wanted to go travel to Alaska.
I love tuning into your channel each fall / winter and seeing all of your improvements year over year. You guys put out really great content that is a joy to watch!
That aerial shot of your compound really showed how much you've developed the place. Happy to see you getting all snug for the winter.
Just a home in the beautiful wilderness. I think when people say "compound" takes away some of the beauty.
@@ryaneschweiler5179 i don't
@@ryaneschweiler5179I don't personally feel that the word compound is negative. To me, it means a place that is off-grid, self-contained and self-sufficient, with different buildings.
There was something so satisfying about watching the clothes being washed & put through the wringer!!! Well, actually it was all satisfying. Y'all are amazing. 🤩
I just love when you include the date, sunrise, sunset and temperature information! Your photography is stunning. The season change seems so drastic.
Same! I like to read that info as well!
Alaska is truly beautiful and you guys show it off so well !!
I,m so glad to see you have so many long time followers and all appreciate the time you take to let us share in your activities,I am 91 Now and still mobile but a virtual shut in. I look forward to your videos.
Ordered a calendar, excited to see the pictures. Thanks for sharing, you two are awesome to watch. Always look forward to your videos and I love your new place. Take care and stay warm
❤✌
Whoo Hoo! Ordered your calendar! We love these! Thanks for sharing a bit of your lives with us all! You and your pet menagerie are the best!!!!!! Stay warm!
A beautiful piece of work - your faming of shots and editing is so good now. Loved the simple fire time lapse work! You both put in so much effort, and I just want to say I appreciate your art!
Thank you very much!
My husband and I are in Fairbanks right now for our honeymoon and we're absolutely loving it! Such an amazing state with so many beautiful places!
Can't think of a better way to enjoy my first cup of Coffee.
The scenery is beautiful.
Thanks for sharing.
Very beautiful scenery 😊😊😊😊
Thank You for sharing your piece of Alaska with us . We are so blessed to have you making this great content
Excited to see that your new calendar is out. For the last couple of years, I have put the calendar in my office in the rehab hospital that I work at in northern Ontario, Canada. As an Occupational therapist, I see lots of clients/patients that see your calendar and always comment how beautiful the pictures are. Thanks for sharing.
There's just so many hours in a day to try and get everything done. You guys really capitalize on what time you have. The winter(ish) drone footage🛰 is spectacular👍🏻All the best to you Eric & Arielle .... take care 🚜🌲🔥🪵🔥🪵🔥🏡✌🏻
Absolutely stunning photography. I love watching your channel.
I wish I was 40/50 years younger and braver to be like you.
These videos are just the best. Truly professional level of production and the mix of Alaskan landscapes with day to day life is perfect
The grit foot mat is genius ideal, thank you guys for sharing your lifestyle in Alaska, you guys are awesome, always enjoying watching vlogs.
What a GREAT Job you guys have done!! Love the quick “fixes” with the grate and primitive cat box under the deck!! Nice Work!!!
Best Brushpile starter to use is half oil at diesel and a large tire so tire with decent wheel and set it in the middle of the fresh pile and add everything else on it just keep piling the pile wait till the snow is underground
Awesome episode as always! Michigan's cold weather is creeping in slowly. Thanks for sharing!
Don't batteries off gas
The scenery is absolutely gorgeous.....God's artwork at his finiest!!!!
Another beautiful video from my favorite couple. Thank You for making my evening special.
Thank you guys for another beautiful and interesting video! I've been following you for a few years, or maybe for more than a few years now and I'm amazed how much you manage to get done in Alaska. I'm from Sweden, so I'm used to snow, and I think it's beautiful! ❄☃ I can't wait for your next video! 🌞😊✨ Keep warm and take care!
I live vicariously through you guys. I absolutely adore you ❤. Hope you have a beautiful winter ❄️ in your new digs.
I hope you guys are proud of your accomplishments. Even in this sort of time at the new place. You make things look so much easier than they are. I love watching your videos. It takes me to places I wouldn't get to see otherwise. You make such a great team. Cheers
Happy Winter season!
As always, stunning photography and videography.
Love from Maryland,
Jeanne
Airelle, the calendar is just beautiful...absolutely magical...wonderful way to promote your unique home...and country..the animals are so diverse...and you and Eric embrace all..xxxx thankyou...
Am so looking forward to seeing the garden coming on, seeing you both making your mark. Cant wait! Stay are, God bless x
You both are a delight to have vicariously on you tube my heart burst with joy and i really love the content thank you for all the effort to make it so easy to watch God bless you every day ❤❤❤
What a wonderful, peaceful home for the two of you 🥰🥰🥰
I love the shot of the swans! I think they are some of the most beautiful birds ever. And I love watching them with their young. You two are so good about showing your viewers the beauty that you are living in. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us. The eye to detail that you two use to make the shots even more beautiful and Eric your talent with putting the perfect music with certain scean are almost magical. Seriously, you two are so talented and we are so very blessed to be able to just sit back and enjoy the show!
You guys work so hard to ink out a living in the harsh yet beautiful Alaska and seem to be having a blast while you're doing it! Keep the videos coming because we are ALWAYS ready to see what you guys have been up to since the last time we "talked". Stay safe and warm.
I assume you saw the cat go underneath the house into your crawl space just after you opened it
Thanks we just found her ;)
I agree with the listing above, use your overhang to create a entryway. That will support your overhang and protect your door from the wind. That will cut down on the cold air rushing in.
This video brought back all my memories of living in Two Rivers for 22 years. I'm actually tearing up, I miss it so much. (In Oregon now.) You guys are amazing! It is country for young people though. Old folks like me would have a hard time. I love the part with your cat sitting at the flap, dismayed at the snow. 😂 Stay warm and safe, you two. Deffo going to check out the calendar! ❤
You should pour a small concrete pad for a laundry station. You could hang the clothes line over the pad to keep everything out of the mud, and make it large enough for the hoses and the washer etc. ❤
You two have done so much work on your new place. The place looks really awesome.
Just amazing watching you working together…..I’ve been watching you two for years… take care and enjoy life there….
Here in Europe we are going through a very worrying time
Time mark 13:03.... When your cat was methodically and peacefully looking outside through the cat-door... SOOO CUTE. 😊
Thanks for sharing your experiences. They create positive content that inspires and creates hope.
God bless ya.
The Travis over n out.
When i was younger....i used to love playing in snow.Playing on my ATV....plowing our driveway with it.But now at 65.......I HATE WINTER.......SNOW....COLD.You have a great spread there.I just subbed and so far very enjoyable content.Thanks for your sharing.
You guys always have the most amazing photos of nature. Thanks for sharing them :)
My mother had one of those washers. Amazed to see they still exist. Lovely video
Your coop and run are so awesome! I do worry about the condensation, that will cause problems for them when it gets really cold. Ventilation at the peak of the roof will help to mitigate that. You guys are inspirational!
Those bantam roosters can really cut you up bad with their spurs.
The arial views are fantastic…please do more…so nice to see such beauty that we’d never would get to see ourselves.
I admire your fortitude in the cold weather….as we get older it’s less appealing to us. No one can say living in Alaska is easy….I enjoy Modern Day Alaska videos also…..
If you attach a piece of rubber over your lock in the chicken coop it’d keep it from freezing….
Some of the best footage I've ever seen. Love this channel!
Yes I understand getting things ready for next year. I cut 10 cord wood this year so I didn't have to go without heat.. I think we all try to get ready for the following year. Living off the grid is a lot different than living in the city, I sure enjoy life this way
You two are so amazing and work so hard and it sure shows!❤️❤️🐾🐾🐾🐾
gorgeous, beautiful intro... congrats getting all the work done that you did in this video... and with your calendar too! amazing pics. continued blessings.🕊
Your aerial footage is breathtaking 😮
Beautiful scenery. I love when you use the drone! So much work to do. Y’all will get it done. Take care and God bless y’all. 😀❤️
Only two seasons in Alaska…. Winter and July!
I got my husband watching your channel now as well. We love the scenery and watching you get projects done. ❤
Pepper, at the cat door: “Not this white crap again!”
❤❤❤❤
Made me laugh out loud!
You guys rock, always a joy to watch you both work together to make your Alaskan dreams reality. Stay warm, looking forward to the next video .
Always great to see what you’re up to and understand the prep work involved for the change of season. Thanks for sharing the good life in Alaska.
Great video, certainly have the place looking great. Your winter is almost here but I sure youll be ready,,oooh how do you put up,with all that cold weather and so much snow. Brave pple😊
Very beautiful winter I love this winter ❤❄️❄️❄️
Winter's arrived!Thanks for meaningful vlog as us
With all that's going on in the world, you are a sight for sore eyes and music to the ears.. blessings.happy moments and bless times...❤🇹🇹🙏
That grate you installed in front of front door to catch dirt and snow from boots is brilliant! And absolutely yes, those little improvements to the box that protects the generator that you showed us, the hinges, the little open space to protect the cords....I absolutely understand when you’re working around the house, trying to make your home give back to you and to make it strong and wholesome, those little things make it home and make life much more enjoyable for your work and love is in it. God bless you both and be safe
I'm enjoying your home! I have a wood burner here in Omaha NE, and I found a way to clean the glass in minutes with water! No chemicals! You crumble up about half a page of newspaper, dip the paper in the water (don't soak it, just a quick dip), then dab the wet paper in the ashes from the wood burner. Doesn't take much so not too messy. Then you wipe the glass with the newspaper and the soot comes off in seconds, like magic! If it's really dirty it might take a few runs. I found it on a youtube video from England, but don't have the video now.
WowI remember those old washing machines bring me back 😊
I am 44 and I still remember those washing machines. Speed Queen and White Westinghouse were the brands we had on my island of Curaçao 🇨🇼. We still have the bottom shell of the Speed Quueb
