@@blackmonday738 I wish but I have a S.O. and I have to think of her so I have had to put my plans to go back to Alaska on hold for a while but I'm still trying to get back.
I LOVE your little trip vlogs you guys do! It’s great to see you enjoy life and not only work work work. I especially love this one and the fishing trip ones. You guys are the perfect couple!
Skunk on the fishing portion but the ice sculptures were awesome. Fairbanks was the fist Alaska town I every visited. I left the airport and it was -50. I was not prepared for that level of cold. Also went on a dog mushing trip there. That was super cool. Great video guys.
Beautiful Ice Sculpture's. So many gorgeous ones. Some truly talented artists. They would be even better up close in person. I use to live in the NWT, CA. They had some amazing talent for ice Sculptures there as well.
We were in Alaska twice last year and one of those times we went to this. We love Fairbanks btw. Being from MN we are used to that weather, just not the lack of light. But these ice sculptors were awesome. We took this in and later in the night the northern lights. i would have lived in AK if my husband wouldn't have felt like he couldn't get a job there after he retired from the Air Force. He regrets that decision now. lol thanks for posting this a long time ago (i am just binge watching your channel). Miss AK very much.
Wow such beautiful sculptures ! Here in Edmonton Alberta Canada, we have ice sculptures done as well, and they're awesome! Your lucky to get to see them at night! We weren't so lucky as we forgot about it and went when it was all shut down due to spring, which was causing them to melt! Love your channel!
We have always wanted to live in Alaska but it just never happened. It is wonderful being able to share your adventures. We never miss a video. Almost feels like being there. Love every minute of your life, it goes by so quickly. Leave no dreams only memories. ❤️
Reminds me of the Rockies going from BC through the western states. How small we are when looking up at one of those mountains. It’s a feeling like no other. As a truck driver, I used to travel through the mountain ⛰ province and states . I miss them so much as I live in eastern Canada 🇨🇦. Love your videos. You two have a big set of cahoonas to do what you’re doing. Bless you.
Oh, I know what it feels to have real bathroom. Its such a fantastic experience. After 4 years of having a bucket (tiolet) and using a campground. I made a deal with Gary, I got to use tiolet first and he got to use shower first in the new bathroom in our cabin. Have more great times you guys.
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your world and your lives with me, I really appreciate it. I love that you take your fur babies every where you go. Alaska is one of my favorite states. and since watching your station. I have learned so much, and enjoyed every one of your post. God Bless you and your babies. Nita
Wow that was absolutely amazing. Thank you guys so much for allowing the world to see your new life in Alaska. I’m binge watching from the beginning and have made it to here and this by far was amazing.
Wow!!! Incredible ice sculpture show for sure!!! I love how the lights add such a dramatic dimension to the over all looks of the ice at night. Live the videos, and of course, love the million dollar beauty of Alaska. Hopefully one day soon to travel their for a great adventure.
Awesome video guys the ice was amazing.☺ I got friends in North Pole Farbanks area I can't wait to move up there next year going up for a visit in a couple mouths I'm so ready.
I love watching travel vlogs. I had to tell this yours is the most authentic and real without too much makeup to video! Just a real life video! Keep up the good work guys !!!
Congratulations on your channel being monetized. Awesome to see your channel taking off. We happily watched 5 minutes of ads in support of you guys. Such a beautiful, amazing, spectacular road trip. Very cool ice sculptures. Hard to pick a favorite but that caged guy was pretty unique. Whenever I have the opportunity to take a shower in a real tub/shower it feels amazing to bask in the hot water. Haha! That was really interesting seeing how you set those lines up. Good practice for next time. Have a good one guys.
Almost Homestead, didn't realize the ads were that long (I thought we just had one at the beginning). Thanks for your support! The ice sculptures were wicked, the one you liked was called "Perspective is key." Don't know if you could see it all that well but there was a person in a cage in a fetal position and then also the same person breaking free from the cage with a key in their hand! Some very talented folks :)
@@SimpleLivingAlaska I think youtube increased the ads. Every monetized channel that we watched last night had two ads before the video. Yeah that was cool with the guy on top with the key. Didn't realize it was the same person breaking free but makes sense now. 😄
Absolutely awesome video. When in Alaska we visited Denali by helicopter, a once in a life fantastic experience! We had hoped to go as high up as Fairbanks but our calculations were against this fantastic trip, so we’ve missed it. Thanks to your filming this awesome part of Alaska, I personally feel as if though I’ve been there a teeny bit. Thank you my precious loving video friends👌🥰
I love your videos. I feel a “connection” with you two because I do live in the SF Bay Area and grew up in Oregon. Would you two , the next time you see the Northern Lights, please please please record it. That is something I would love to see. I have a niece who lives in Kodiak Island and she has not seen them ( too far south I’m guessing). Thank you for your videos and photography!!
Watching your videos from the beginning all the way through & just had to comment on this one, as I’m in awe of the beautiful vistas around you. Can’t wait to see the rest of the videos & catch up with what you’re up to currently. Love all your content so far & all the funny bits you do. Keep it up! All the best from Brisbane Australia 😊
Wnet on a week long trailride in northwest Nevada about 60 miles from Oregon. On the return truck trip, we ate at a restaurant and everyone made multiple trips to use the miraculous flush toilet. 😆
Holy smokes, what an AMAZING event! There must've been hundreds of sculptures out there. Sorry you didn't catch any burbot. That would've been really cool...and delicious!
Your best Vid yet!!!....So awesome!....And I liked the Eric and Ariel ice carving....LOL (ps: The commercial before, was for an Alaskan Fishing Trip Company...How cool is that?!)....Oh! Good luck with that Burbot fish!
Wonderful video!! As a newbie to your channel, enthusiastically working my way through your posts, this was a total surprise. The filming, editing, music are amazing. Thank you for sharing your life with an old man at the southern tip of Africa.
❤️it I’m not all the way through the video yet but y’all should make that drive in the summer. Those shots on the bridge over the lake is a REALLY pretty view in summer!
Krystle Cox, I believe it! We want to take the Denali Hwy in the summer but would most likely check out McKinley Park again, it was definitely our favorite spot on the trip :)
OMG! The view of the mountains the light the ...... OMG! Instant top of bucket list! OMG! I know I am repeating myself.... but.... OMG! Can you fall in love with a video of a place? I am utterly blown away. I WILL see this! Thank you 🙏. Best of all I made my comment before the ice sculptures. They are truly amazing. The light I was referring to is the air/light glow/ texture... I don’t know what but it was definitely a inspiration. Thank you. You are truly blessed.
For Fairbanks area ice fishing you need powered drill, ice is usually very thick , sometimes in lakes it could be 5'+! Drilling 5' with auger is extremely tiring option!
I would hate for me to break down on the roads you drive. There is nobody around. All the roads you showed were so isolated. Great video! Love watching them.
Rita Raynor, it was definitely a less traveled road at this time of the year but there were occasional cars and I believe we had cell service the whole way! (Although breaking down in never good).
I know the newscasters make everyone think it's pronounced Den ALL i...but it's Den AL i. Or McKinley :) Great vid, glad you went up when it was cold :) Didn't you love driving thru the summit!? You sure got some fantastic video there :)
WooHoo!! Hot running water in the shower!! Lol!! Loving your channel! Found it a few days ago and have been binge watching your adventure! New Sub! I have been looking for homestead land in the lower 48, but now I am considering this area! Thanks for sharing!!
Dan 821 thanks for following the channel! ☺ We liked Alaska for many reasons but one was the ability to be able to harvest wildlife for oursleves and the animals. There is not as much of the farming resources we were use to back home but there is still quite the farming community up here.
What stunning ice sculptures guys!!! I was in total awe and it being so bloody hot here in Australia, I reckon I could have sat my bare bum in the ice and or snow lol. I'm sitting here in a very light summer dress with the fan on full blast beside me. There's the difference between our weather. I'd rather be there cause I hate the summers here. Michelle
@@SimpleLivingAlaska Believe it or not but we are in our first month of Autumn and it is still as hot as Hades here. Today is supposed to be 36 degrees celsius which is in the 90's F. I can't wait for it to be mid winter lol. I get so envious of your vids when you are deep in snow lolol. Stay happy and safe both of you and of course the fur babies. Michelle
What struck me as hilarious is you said there was only a microwave and coffeemaker in the room but no stove so to boil water you had to use your camp stove! Lmao!! Why not just use the microwave or the coffee maker to boil your water? Guess you never thought of either of those things since you never use them, this electricity thing is sooo different for you guys! Lol!!🥰❤️🇨🇦
Simple Living Alaska I haven’t!! I haven’t spent a lot of time up there either!! Wish I have spent more, currently I am a slave to the system in the lower 48. Not for too long though, just bout got enough saved to split and build on our place there. Now that I see you setting burbot sets though o am very interested in fishing up there!! Burbot is good eating!! We eat it here in Wyoming. Poor mans lobster.
Great video! I live in Fairbanks and have yet to make it to the ice sculptures. Great channel you guys! Been following for a little while now. I use to live down in the Willow area. Been up here in Fairbanks a year now. Your ever back stop by Big Ray's there on Airport ,would be nice to meet ya!
AKSCurrey's Alaskan Adventure, Thank you and nice to meet you! We enjoyed the trip up there and will most likely venture up that way again, we are loving Willow as well :)
Cool road trip... so do you miss those hot showers yet? LOL That was the one and only thing I missed living out in the woods... The out house and all become the norm and the real world showers and flush toilets become foreign after a few yrs... I miss the atmosphere in Fairbanks... small town and very much a bush oriented community, at least it was when I left back when. A couple more times drilling with that hand drill you all will spring for a motor one... LOL zips you right in the holes and makes life so much easier... AIH had them for a long time.
AK Washkeeton, the shower was nice for sure. It is strange how easily we became accustom to our lifestyle without modern conveniences. If we lived further north we would probably buy a gas powered auger in a heartbeat, it hasn't been too bad here but past 2 feet is pretty intense :)
Thank you for sharing. We got to meet the winning team. It was really funny, because one of the creators is from California and works inside of a freezer 😂
Can't believe I lived up there for 2 years and never done 1/16th of what you guys have done in the past week
Jim Woods, we are trying to take full advantage of our free time, Alaska is an incredible place :)

Well Jim I hope by now yr living the dream goooooo.

Great video guys.
That is so beautiful ! What a fun thing to see. Yes, night is the way to go! Lit up !
The ice fishing was a fun add. I watched to the very end to see how many you caught and it was still a fun ending. Well done.
How great you got to see the ice art! Creative and amazing!!
Beautiful Ice Sculpture's. So many gorgeous ones. Some truly talented artists.
They would be even better up close in person.
I use to live in the NWT, CA. They had some amazing talent for ice Sculptures there as well.
Love how you guys remember to enjoy life!

We weren't so lucky as we forgot about it and went when it was all shut down due to spring, which was causing them to melt! Love your channel!
