- Living off grid in Alaska part of the way we get our food is through fishing and crabbing. It’s time to drop the crab pots and see what we can pull up.

Great video Brian. The loved the shots you got off the bow of the boat. If I could get my hands on half the big logs you have down there, I’d be in hog heaven.
Thanks Ryan. If I could get a kick As mill I’d be on tickled pink😂 Hope you all have a great week.

@@AnAlaskaHomestead hello, guys great place to visit 😍😍😍😍
I have my brother live in Anchorage for over 20 years, he loves it there because
He loves fishing, hunting and camping . I visited him couple times and I’m from Ohio 😍🙌
Take care guys 👍👍👍😍😍😍
@@appleorange3041 cool
#1. Can we all appreciate that he takes the time to reply and/or like nearly every comment? Awesome!
It’s getting harder though. Getting a lot more comments these days. I do try. I feel it’s the least I could do for those taking time out of their day to watch a video and leave a comment.
I wish I had acted on a dream to move to Alaska. Being in the 60’s that time is gone. Always go for your dream! My experience has become advise for our children and push them to always go for it.
Great advice 👍
Water is beautiful..❤
22 years of my life was spent in Alaska, i loved it and miss it but it's a young person's state and hard to take as an oldtimer with creaky bones and a bad back.
I find it keeps ppl young. Not everyone is the same though.
I understand but for me it’s the opposite - the older I get the more I miss the dry cold of Northern Alberta. I live in Southern Ontario and the dampness is a killer. I don’t actually know if Alaska is a dry cold or damp. I guess that would make the difference.
@@wcolautti SE Alaska is a rain forest with the area getting 12-14 FEET of rain per year. Northern parts nea Anchorage and further are drier, colder and more snowy.
I Agree, I think me walking around this wilderness the past forty years has helped! I have had many folks from down south, shocked when I tell them I am 55 years old!
@@troyottosen8722 you're only 55 dude. Thats the new 40.
" Thank you Rocky, I um here " lol. That darn rocky anyway.
😂
You all look happy!😊 I know it's a challenging life. It's looks so beautiful though -
I love watching videos of people living the life they want to live, and showing others.
Thanks Wanda. We are happy😊
Looked like a good time out on the water. What a great resource to have in your ocean yard. That stump graveyard is something else. Good luck with moving those things.
Ha it’s definitely time for crabbing and fishing. 😋 Those roots are a nightmare😂
You guys have a great evening.
I live in Brazil, but i watch alaska videos and i love alaska, as i wanted an opportunity to live there our was going to change my life.
keep living THE DREAM! Thank you for sharing : - D
Victoria is a champ bring up them pots! No wonder they live on your brutal island... they are tough enough to handle it! Great job getting stuff done B! You gotta be on top of stuff if you want to thrive, not just survive. Awesome video as always! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks TSP. Victoria pulled those pots like a champ.
Very beautiful nature of Alaska! Great filmed! 👍thanks..
Use the resources you have around you..❤️👊 I could eat crab every night..😊 Have a wonderful week you guys..!!
Thanks Ron. You have a great day too.
Grew up in Wrangell. Crabbing has always been a favorite activity since I was small. Ryan’s wife Von is actually one of my oldest childhood friends. Love those guys, their channel is awesome. ❤ Boy your video makes me miss my SE Home.❤
They are an amazing couple. We enjoy spending time with them.
Thanks for explaining why you had to throw all those crabs back, had no idea regarding those rules
Yeah it’s sucks but those are the rules.
wow..the landscape is breathtaking...lucky u
You have an excellent crew! Especially Gunnar!No crabs left where we are! The Sea Weasels as cute as they are, have eaten them all.
Oh I know. Luckily we haven’t had sea otters move in. The river otters Sue enough damage as it is. Tons of small kings along the beach thanks to those guys.
Guy says ,,, she’s got crabs and I burst out laughing
Beautiful scenery. ❤
This is the best of the american spirit, much respect
Pretty much👍
I want to get out of the city and start living in peace with nature. God I envy you guys. God bless you and yours my man. Love your podcast. 😊
Thank you Steven.
I wanted to live there. ..how beautiful Alaska is !!!! I love fishing 💞💞😍❄❤
What a beautiful place
I really like the way you and your neighbors help each other and share resources when possible. Some day I hope to see a video on the history of your island. Has it every been logged? How tall are the trees? I look forward to your next video....have a safe and productive week to come.
The history of the island. That is something we never covered before.
It’s all about helping each other out. The trees are 80 to 120 foot tall. Thanks for watching David and have a great week.
Just gorgeous! We will be visiting up there again, after a three year hiatus! Can’t wait.
Man, this whole Rona threw a kink in everyone’s plans.
Wonderful presentation .The rewards of crabbing are many. God bless.
Thanks
Thanks
2 of my favourite channels 👍
It was great being able to meet up with Ryan.
Such a beautiful clean place natural beauty plenty of food and you must feel truly free.. I wished I'd went when I was a younger man but never did I love watching these shows, # God's country
Thank you Phillip. One of my high school friends from Oklahoma took a fishing trip up here. He fell in love.
Fun. Thanks. ✌️👊
Loving your film-making Brian! like your new titles and branding moves. :) Great work Victoria.
Thank you
I'd have a hard time getting many chores done if I lived there.. I'd spend all day looking at all those rocks.
I HAVE spent all day looking at rocks on the beach 🤣😳
It’s great place to visit 👍👍👍
thoroughly enjoy your program,you guys seem like you enjoy life and nature .Cheers.
We do indeed. We live in a beautiful place.
very interesting, looking forward to receiving support
Thanks for an enjoyable video
Thanks OT
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you
Looks like SO much WORK!
It’s a trade off from a 9-5 job.
Beautiful place
Love your videos I subscribed and have watched many, I think it is a beautiful place right on the ocean, ya a bit crazy with the tide and the storms you deal with, I'm I00% percent off grid and love it :) fresh crab m....
Beautiful, while in the Navy we pulled into Sitka, stayed for couple weeks, for years I've wanted to go back to Alaska...
The southeast is a beautiful place.
Enjoyed watching 👍
Woah!
I've missed this one!
Just look at you there Brian, so young and innocent!
😉
Oh! And Gunner too! ❤
Oh. No Gunner was my fishing buddy. Sure do miss him.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead
❤
Great video Brian and Diana
Glad you enjoyed it
Like the place so quiet and beautifull sorroundings
Watching from the Philippines
Wow i suppose they’re all legal the second catch
Thanks
@@AnAlaskaHomestead you’re welcome and thanks too for your acknowledgement...
I also watch Ryan's channel. Cool to see you guys met up! That tractor looked like it was having a time with that stump. Good videos! Still waiting for a Brad and Victoria channel!
Yeah he’s a cool guy.
Great looking young Kings......I didn't know you guys had that many Kings in your neck of the woods!
The Dungies you can get should be HUGE compared to those down in WA state!
I LOVED the young lady's attitude and heart......AND the fact that she was armed!
Gunner needed some more loves......but then I'm partial to old dogs!
Cheers from the Oil Patch in Central WY
Yeah Victoria did a great job pulling in the pots. She was a little frustrated with couldn’t keep any. We are rebaiting them in a couple days so hopefully we will get the right kind next time.
Take care JR.
What a view
Gunner has the listening skills of a PFC that scored a 47 on the asvab! 🤣
😂🤣that a great way to put it
Bahahahahahaha
Hi from Melbourne Australia. Such peaceful music. Nice way to start the day. 😀🇦🇺
Hi Lynda, good to hear from you half way around the world.
Brian I notice your style of vlogging has improved the last few....good job!
Thanks Gail.
Thank you for sharing this video with such a beautiful landscape and and nature.
Boy do those crabs look YUMMY! Love your video. Thanks!
Thank you 😊
I just love you two. I been watching your vidoes all day. Alaskan is so beautiful an were you live I loved to live there you guys have put alot of work into your home stead.
My son has been in the Army next year be 21 years. He is in Washington State. He bought a home in New Jersey of all places lol
But it a beautiful place. He wanted to be transferred to Alaska but they sent him to Jersey I watched a video of you talking bout been in the military.thats why I was telling you about my son. I've got a grandson that's in the Marine's too. Keep up your good vidoes I love the Wood Stove Wedesday. watching. at this time
the one about is Alaska reality Fake. Love from Berea Kentucky.
Well tell your son we appreciate his service to our country. To make it 20 years you’ve had to put up with some mega BS. 😂 I never was stationed in Fort Lewis. I’m sure that’s a great place. I’ll keep my opinions to myself about New Jersey 🤣😂
Thanks for the great comment. We hope you have a wonderful evening.
You guys rock!
Keep on keep’n on
God Bless
Thanks Chas
Can yall adopt me?.....just kidding. Dungeness crabbing is a lot like blue crabbing here. Without having to worry about those pesky kings. But fyi my Hope's of moving up there are probably no longer. Just had the third surgery on my foot and starting hyperbaric treatments tomorrow. You keep posting I'll keep watching.
That’s a bummer. Hope you have a speedy recovery. Keep me updated👍
Wonderful weather and wonderful fun with health from Pardubice🍺🤣
We had a great time. Thanks.
That was fun to watch. To bad it was the wrong type of crabs.❤💫✌
I know 😫
That was fun! Too bad no Dungeness, but it was interesting seeing the kings. I’m hoping we can get out again this year to go crabbing...one of the best reasons to live here! I’ll also check out that other Alaska off-grid guy’s channel. Sounds cool. Really beautiful drone footage too, wow!
Thanks, Ryan has some great things coming up. I can’t wait to see his mill in action. We re baited the pots yesterday so hopefully we will have some crabs in them tomorrow.
Very cool!
Wow...I admire people who really know how to live off the land... contrast to city folks living in a material world, insane taxes and corruption. The music adds a nice touch of tranquility.
Thanks👍
Thanks for the nice vid. Living the dream. Looked like she was using halibut harpoon to grab lines
Ha she was, I didn’t have my gaff hook
You have good neighbours in good hands
So good
Thanks
I didn't know that you can't eat a king crab nice too see them and Victoria muscle them up in the BOAT GOD BLESS
Oh yeah she pulled them pots in like a champ.
King crab must have been out of season.
YUMMY!
Please load this music on a dvd player and listen to it all day. Have fun
Glad you like it.
Deer looked mighty tasty. They better look out come season. Are you allowed to dig a small canal to pull the boat into on low tide? Man that was sad to see those crabs was not the right ones. Your friend Victoria done an awesome job. She shonuff Got-R-Done! Stay safe my friends and have a great week!
Ha mmmm deer. I’m going to try to make it to Fairbanks this moose season. If I don’t deer hunt video this fall 😂
Victoria did an outstanding job.
Hope you guys are staying safe. Have a great week.
what a brave people you are Love from India ❣️❣️
Thank you
I was born in Alaska but was moved when very small. I do not have much memory of it. I think of maybe going back someday. I wrote a mostly fictional book (Weak Love and Strong Love) that had a Russian tsar as a character. After choosing him as a character for the book, I read somewhere that in reality he was the tsar that sold Alaska to America. I was very pleased and found it significant I had picked him for the book and then found out he had been the one to sell the state I was born in to America.
That’s pretty cool. It would be neat to come back and visit where you were born.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead Thank you for the opinion. I believe a trip to Alaska is probably in my future if I can make it happen and would be one of the most rewarding things I could do.
I'm so happy to find your channel. I love An Alaska Homestead. It's my new favorite channel. Good luck and SUBSCRIBE!
Thank you and welcome to the channel.
Nice work mate would love to get up there one-day great job
Thanks
ZZ Top from the Pole !
I would take some IBC totes and put them out abit on the water and fill them with rocks . and top part i would put concrete . and then you can easily build an bridge from land out long in the water to the concrete foundation . And the boat can be tied to bridge all summer
Rocky is like good morning 😁 I just figured out how to subscribe. Keep the videos coming I love this
Good to have you with us. Have a great day and a great 22.
Ah - too bad there weren't any dungies around! I caught a mess of those baby kings at the beginning of last year as well. Hopefully that means good things for the future king crab population! Tight lines! Captain Zac
I agree for the kings coming back. This was the worst year we had for dungies. Then to make matters worse someone stole three of my pots.🤬 Sea otters have been spotted in the general area. That my the reason our season wasn’t good. Hopefully they move on and don’t decimate the crab population.
Brian I have to tell how much I enjoy your videos. I love the way you love Gunner and all of God’s creatures you live with. Woodstove Wednesdays is a blast with Diana. You have me laughing too! Was wondering if it is possible for you to put out shrimp pots?
Thank you Bill. We can put out shrimp pots but the area for shrimp is further away and I’d need a pot puller for that plus a couple of pots. Some day maybe.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead Do shrimp reside in deeper water or different bottom conditions? I have been catching up on all the videos you have posted and am a little sad that when I do get caught up I will have to be patient for your new posts. Keep them coming brother!!
@@Bill-wq1ob Yeah they put pots out between 200-400 feet. That a lot of line to pull by hand. lol
Hate to see that on them crabs in that pot Brian but cool that you follow the fishing rules, lots of folks don't and I hate that too!! Always dig the fishing and boat videos my friend!! Y'all have a good week and stay safe up there sir!! Dan
Thanks Dan. I hate throwing them back to but to help the population grow we need wildlife management.
If you put all your household waste into a net tied to a long rope with a marker at the other end drop that into the water at the same place every time you can attract crabs and fish to the same spot then set your traps, just have a go and see, you might be surprised at the results, fish and crabs always go to places they know where food is, just the same as us 😁👍
Sounds good.
New friend here from Philippines.
Glad to have you here. 👍
Looks like you could benefit from the installation of a crab davit, to assist with lifting those crab traps. Easy to install, not expensive, removable and will save your back and the side of the boat. Great videos!
A boat with a bit of freeboard would help so the pots can be pulled whilst standing up would be good and far safer.
loves her side arm!
Issued to everyone @ 18 yrs old, or on the way to the outhouse
Wow..I want to have a new friend here in your place..Alaska....I'm faye from the Philippines..
Hi Faye.
Wow you need some catch and cook next time, what a great video!!! Well made, great music and love your soothing voice. Great job, I'm subscribing
Soon, especially when the salmon are running.
“I’m always wet” lol
Hahah Ryan is how I found your channel..
So jealous. We love Alaskan crab. We have lobster and clams here in Northeast. No big crab though
I would loved to have been able to keep all those kings and save them for the season to cook. I’d make good use of those 🤤
I know it would be nice.
What was that soothing guitar music? I would love to nap with that on.
I horrible at not posting the names of the songs in the description and I forget by the time the video comes out. Sorry.
Great video ty🥰💐
Thank you
My buddy just bought 40 acres in tok. They plan to farm and substance hunt etc.
Just saying as a forty year resident of Alaska, you could have picked a much better place the the interior, Tok!😳🤪🤣
We use the folding king crab pots up here for through the ice. If you pay shipping ill send you my extra's closed our commercial season so i dont need the 15 or so ive got.
Thanks that’s awful kind of you. They only open kings up for a a couple of days in this area. However as you can see they are making a comeback.
We need more action and some hot steamed crabs big enough to eat. I'm starving.
I eat crab only on special occasions awesome that it’s normal diet for you guys
It does seem like we are uppity when you phrases like “crab again”😂
Awesome place to live 👍❤
Thanks
Excellent video quality, interesting content, subscribed..
Thanks Greg
Hi new subscriber here in he U.K. , my dream is to move to Alaska, such a beautiful country .
Welcome. Love hearing from folks across the ocean.
It’s pretty special.
I hope to visit Alaska one day.
You should. It’s a nice place to visit.
Thank you so much!
Yes someday
“She got crabs!!!” Lol.
Cool video
Them stumps can be sassy. did you ever think about the whistle and chooch method? Could try the old snatch and whirl technique. Frigsaking will woller out a tractor, boy howdy. i seen the back woods hicks do it with a log and a horse, I'll tell you what.
There is definitely more than one way to skin a cat.
You are truly blessed to live in such a beautiful place. Good job Victoria🍻
We love it. She did a great job.
