You both look so young to be so knowledgeable, obviously your both very talented in everything that you are doing. I think it’s just perfect the relationship you have. Do you really agree on everything ? It’s just been so good catching up on your episodes I feel like I’m watching them backwards sometimes. I’ve especially loved to watch the canning and the fishing episodes. I’m learning so much, I can’t wait to watch the next episode, it’s so well thought out. Thank you it’s done me the world of good after being in critical care with covt for two months and having not been able to hardly move or my oxygen levels drop considerably, it’s been like a breath of fresh air watching your programme. Thank you with all my heart.,god bless you both. X
Couple quick tips on those string repairs- you don’t need to fight to thread the needle, it can be put in the same way it pulls out. Also, giving it a quarter turn or so before removing the needle helps it grab in the hole better. The rubber cement does no good, as you mention. Just spray it with your soapy water. Dish soap (not diluted) also can be very useful for getting a tire to seal to a rim. Also, those red plugs are ‘ok’, but swing by Napa and get blue ones, they seal way better. I’ve made a lot of people happy in my lifetime (several on the Alcan) just from having that kit with me, not counting my own uses.
I always forget to add how much I enjoy the music of all your great videos. The purple vegetables are supposed to contain anti-cancer ingredients, so it’s good for us. Your guys show to be health conscience and that is not only excellent for you but for the world. Learn so much from you. Thank you.
Purple, blue and red veggies and fruits fight inflammation. Y’all are truly amazing! Thank you for being so thorough with your videos. You explain things so well. Thanks for sharing. Y’all are living my dream!
I’ve said it before on other vids, but you so remind me of my dad, his way of teaching and all the little tips. ‘If you can’t fix it, ride it on the rim and buy new tires’😂 I appreciate your knowledge and that you share it.
I was thinking the same, or sometimes if there is a lot of liquid strain it, thicken and serve as a gravy on the side...it would be delicious over your amazing pie
Trick with the tire kit is if it's a small puncture and you can't fit the reamer tool in there, drill it out with a drill bit smaller than the reamer so you can fit the reamer tool in the hole.
I have had good luck with the tire repair kits, but I have never used them on a sidewall. If you find that the plug doesn't hold in the sidewall you may need to try using a tube in the tire.
I love watching you cook with all your canned stuff... so much energy! Cast iron I love too... but you will find as you get older cast iron is so heavy and hard to deal with lol
Shoveling snow in shorts. Your dogs are not only beautiful, they are so well behaved. You are right: the stronger the color with fruit/vegetables, the more antioxidants. Prunes, surprisingly, have more antioxidants than blueberries. Stew pie looks delicious. Well done, as EVERYTHING you two do!
Mid Autumn (Fall) here atm in Aus and I'm envious of the snow. Living up the top of Australia we don't particularly have a winter so I'm just sitting here and dreaming of snow.
Erica you always come up with something delicious that is so perfect in my eyes and according to what I know which is close to what you do but the idea of it I can taste it because I know you do such a fine job hang in there sweetie keep on working with us and teaching us
I just found your channel and I’m glad I did! I’ve always wanted to live off grid and having somebody do it for me I can do it vicariously now! You guys are awesome! I have been watching a bunch of your videos and I love how simple your life is. You definitely got a friend in eastern Kansas now! I haven’t come across a video that shows what you all do for money… That’s the only question I’ve got for you now! Now back to more videos!
RHankD RHankD thanks for watching We are glad you enjoy! For income currently we have stocks and have real estate investments. Hope to get back into farming to also produce another income.
Preciosa Arielle, among many of your abilities, you’re also a good cook 👩🍳 and watching your cooking certainly brings back memories and a faint desire for cooking. Now myself alone I stay for the very simple and healthy food which should include Alaskan salmon.
just a tip on tire repair, i always burn the x-tra cement off the plug after i am done, it creates a better seal with the molten glue, and it burns itself out pretty quick.
That pie just won my first choice...now I'll have to make one..beef 😏 all organic..(from the store)..one day a home stead would be awsome!.. learning lots of tips from ya all..ty from Oregon state
@@PatIreland That purple potato wanted to live! I just wonder if we gave these robust potatoes a place to start over, like a pot of soil, would they transplant well and have offspring? I can't even find purple potato seeds, I only saw traditional white, read and yellow. I'd rather plant purple.
Totally enjoyed the video... I'm subbing! You inspired me to make a venison potpie and I learned how to fix a flat in a Polaris in a way that even I can do!
This reminds me of growing up in upstate NY. We live in north Georgia now...quite different. Those potatoes look amazing! Thanks for sharing and I look forward to Future videos!!
I've never used one of those plugs before but we have had around 6 flat tires s in the past 5 months so I think I'll pick up one of those kits. 11:06 LOL! The meat pie looked tasty. We had Shepherd's pie last night. Basically mashed potatoes on top of meat and veggies in a rue and baked. So good.
I love your oven, you both are genuine people. I will encourage you to continue to listen and care of each other I have many hopes for you. Sleep easy!
Lovely yummy healthy food,.. making my mouth water.... please get some.. onion seeds.. bake in the sunlight (they turn black) n use e'm in your meals, good for your health n gives a good taste. Stay safe.. keep smiling, GOD BLESS. (correction: Fennel flower seeds also known as onion seeds are already black and can be planted or consumed by adding into food)
Bummer, guys!! We've been there done that living in a rural area ourselves. You just have to make adjustments and go on wth your daily life.... Also, beautiful potatoes👍
Purple potatoes are awesome! I wanted Purple Viking, but I was too late ordering, and I got Russian Blue (still purple, though it's called blue) instead. I had never heard of purple potatoes until 3 years ago when I learned how to garden and grow my own food. I was fascinated with the colour change when cooking--they start out purple, the water turns turquoise when boiling, and violet when you do baked. I was getting all my friends to watch me cook them so they could see, LOL. Super nutritious potato!
Tammy Marie purple varieties are our favorite not just the color but we find they store the longest, at least 6 months! Purple Viking has a really pretty stark white flesh but I'm a sucker for the purple colored flesh like the Russian Blue.
Another great video Eric and Arial, Arial your a wonderful cook and your cooking makes me so hungry.. have you thought about nitrogen in your tyres? I don't know if it would work in the snow or even if you had a source. But I have used nitrogen in my tyres for years, if you get A puncture the tyre will not go flat a dx fast. But you only need to top up every 6 months or so, but that's in suburban, Victoria Australia. Hug's to you both your dog's, cat's and the poor common outdoor ally cats. Poor things living in the cold barn lol.
12:34 Why didn't you pre-bake the bottom pie shell first ? Now the bottom of the pot pie is going to be SOGGY☹️😔 "Soggy Bottom Boys"...I love that song👍🏾😁
Donald Hofman, that doesn't surpise me. I have heard they are treated to not grow the sprouts. We like to buy certified organic potatoes for planting, can't wait to plant them this spring!
I lived in Fairbanks in 1967 and it got very cold, but I loved it. Where you are at, it should be more moderate, I hope. How are you doing with all the Quakes going on around you? I hope that your elevation is high enough to stay out of the water.
Prepsteader Bob at Content Creators told us about you. I came to through my support your way. I joined your channel to follow along. I heard you are from Oregon, I live near Hillsboro. I will be watching more vids.
Just found your cannel. It seems that you have been living off grid for a while and have mastered this Lifestyle.I am eager to find more adventures that make your Life so happy. I have a question for you: I have watched a number of similar shows and I always wondered why there are no kitchen cabinets, no closets and places to put things. It seems to make these cabins so cluttered and busy. I grew up in an other country and I am not used to see everything I own on display.
I like purple kool-aid because I’m health conscious. 😂 Nothing better than working in slush. We keep a ton of those patch kids here. Along with some green fix a flat stuff for our trailer. I don’t use fix a flat on my in town truck but we do on the trailer and ATV That pot pie looked good. 👍
Bleeding Heart brewery in Palmer makes beer with beets- for my money that the best antioxidant! Been using it near daily for a couple years now... people say I only look a few weeks older than my actual age. 😏
Heya guys. I was wondering will you be doing a video on natural plant life as medicinal uses. I live in New Zealand and the Maori people who are the indigenous tribe here use a lot of plant life as medicinal practices such as (Dodonoea viscose) the leaves and bark is good for indigestion, gout and rheumatism. It is also used on wounds as a healant, reducing swelling and good for burns and scalds. (Usnea barbata) as an antibiotic. (Cyathea medullaris) external inflammatory condition, burns, cell regeneration,
JPEG NZ we are learning quite a bit about herbal medicine and do in fact use many plants that we find, I am not sure if I am overly comfortable with talking about it as of yet, although I think I will be in the future ☺
Ok what was up with the geeky laugh at end of talking about the tires. It made me shoot coffee out my nose. Lol.
Watching your old videos. Glad they're popping up. The venison stew pie looked so good.

I have never had to repair a tire, love that you showed all the steps :)
I am so glad I found your channel! I have a fascination about Alaska, and I am going to enjoy it through your channel. Thanks
Hmmm, your cooking skills are amazing!
To thicken the broth, add a couple of tablespoons of flour to the mixture...
I was thinking the same, or sometimes if there is a lot of liquid strain it, thicken and serve as a gravy on the side...it would be delicious over your amazing pie
So glad I went back and rewatched your videos. 👏👏👏👏
Very interesting to see you repair your tire Eric ! And the cook seems to be preparing some snack for both of you....
Nice crust and stew pie good eating .
Trick with the tire kit is if it's a small puncture and you can't fit the reamer tool in there, drill it out with a drill bit smaller than the reamer so you can fit the reamer tool in the hole.
Yo are both so very talented and a great couple . All the best.
Tony from Thailand
That pie looks awesome
I have had good luck with the tire repair kits, but I have never used them on a sidewall. If you find that the plug doesn't hold in the sidewall you may need to try using a tube in the tire.
Yoshaki the plug is still holding, but that is a great idea on using a tube, since the tires are brand new. Thanks for watching!
I love watching you cook with all your canned stuff... so much energy! Cast iron I love too... but you will find as you get older cast iron is so heavy and hard to deal with lol

What an incredible woman.......such a great life!
Cool kit + delicious meal 👍
I love your purple potatoes ( and your videos).
At +30C it's devine to see snow and cold weather. Thank you for sharing your experiences
That stew pie looked delicious.
I’ve been watching so many of your videos that you’ve become at least 1 in every 10 suggestions in my recommended videos list 😅🥰
Venisen pot pie,,, I love pot pie,,,,
Thank you showing how to fix a flat tire I've never seen how to do it.
Mid Autumn (Fall) here atm in Aus and I'm envious of the snow. Living up the top of Australia we don't particularly have a winter so I'm just sitting here and dreaming of snow.
Love your lifestyle and the way you take care of your dogs.
I have never seen a purple potatoes before. Thanks
Good job Eric and thanks for good tip to fix flat tire ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍
Erica you always come up with something delicious that is so perfect in my eyes and according to what I know which is close to what you do but the idea of it I can taste it because I know you do such a fine job hang in there sweetie keep on working with us and teaching us
Now that is one hearty looking pie!
I am making it through more of your posts. You are equally yoked. I'm really enjoying following your channel.

Purple potatoes are high in anthocyanins. Like all colorful veg.
I bet it tastes delicious!!!
Im sure it smells better than Cambells. Dinner looks delicious.
Just saw the root cellar build and now watching your wonderful videos! Love your off grid life. Keep the videos coming! God bless!
Hmmmm, never too old to learn, being from Africa, I have never seen a purple potato...super surprised. Regards from Johannesburg.
Oh no yellow snow!
I've never once shoveled snow. But even I know to watch out for the yellow snow.
just a tip on tire repair, i always burn the x-tra cement off the plug after i am done, it creates a better seal with the molten glue, and it burns itself out pretty quick.
That pie just won my first choice...now I'll have to make one..beef 😏 all organic..(from the store)..one day a home stead would be awsome!.. learning lots of tips from ya all..ty from Oregon state
Anthocyanins in blue and purple pigmented foods are the super healthy antioxidants

People should eat whatever they like... it's not for you to say.
New subscriber here. I've enjoyed catching up. You guys age belies your wisdom.
Amazing color in those potatoes!
Totally enjoyed the video... I'm subbing! You inspired me to make a venison potpie and I learned how to fix a flat in a Polaris in a way that even I can do!
This reminds me of growing up in upstate NY. We live in north Georgia now...quite different. Those potatoes look amazing! Thanks for sharing and I look forward to Future videos!!
What i use when my sauce is too watery, is use buck wheat flower. It thickens like crazy and give a fantastic taste.
pierre godin thanks for the tip we will have to give that a try!
You guys could get a Berkey gravity fed water filter for back up water, no electricity.
Might have to invest in a proper snow shovel soon! Looks like you guys are adjusting to Alaska well.
Looks amazing! Miss all yer' cookin'!
Looks good enough to eat. First time watching. Bobblehead sent us over to check your channel out. Will watch some more. Hello from Oklahoma.
When you roll your crust you should salt and pepper it.
Wonderful cook looks delicious
I am curious if we can see inside your high tunnel again soon!
Laura LaMontanaro our garden season is over now, we do have a few more videos and will be showing the high tunnel when we clean it up 😀
I've never used one of those plugs before but we have had around 6 flat tires s in the past 5 months so I think I'll pick up one of those kits. 11:06 LOL! The meat pie looked tasty. We had Shepherd's pie last night. Basically mashed potatoes on top of meat and veggies in a rue and baked. So good.
That sounds wonderful we have not had shepherd's pie before. We decided to leave that in at 11:06, glad you thought it was funny too!
I have a lot of vehicles, tractors, trailers etc. and used to have flats all the time until I started using 8 or 10 ply tires...cut way down on flats.
That looks delicious, I’m hungry now. 😂
11:51 You're missing sliceed carrots or baby carrots, mushrooms, peas, corn kernels in that pot pie😜😋👍🏾
I love your oven, you both are genuine people. I will encourage you to continue to listen and care of each other I have many hopes for you. Sleep easy!
mtnhayes 😀 thank you!!
Lovely yummy healthy food,.. making my mouth water.... please get some.. onion seeds.. bake in the sunlight (they turn black) n use e'm in your meals, good for your health n gives a good taste.
Stay safe.. keep smiling, GOD BLESS.
(correction: Fennel flower
seeds also known as onion seeds are already black and can be planted or consumed by adding into food)
I've plugged the sidewall on trailer tires with good success.
Bummer, guys!! We've been there done that living in a rural area ourselves. You just have to make adjustments and go on wth your daily life.... Also, beautiful potatoes👍
Instead of draining off your liquid, you can sprinkle in some tapioca or arrowroot to sop it up as thickener.

With a piece of pie like that it would make a few meals for this cat...
Good stuff you guys, looking forward to catching up on some older videos and I am subscribed so I will know when you post something new.
Roger Bettencourt thanks for joining us!
Purple potatoes, yes... Yellow snow, no.
Luv your channel. Keep up the good work.
I came over from Bobbleheade homestead . I've enjoyed your videos.
Thanks! We enjoy filming and sharing with you all😁
Hello from Ohio. that snow looks very cold. we got our first snow this weekend. that pie look yummy. thanks for sharing and peace be with you
Awesome, we haven't had much snow!
Wow that pie looked awesome
Those purple potatoes knock me out.
I bet some JB Weld would have fixed that connector.
WISH YOU GUYS WOULD SHOW HOW THE LOFT LOOKS LIKE NOW. CURIOUS TO SEE HOW YOU ARE UTILIZING THAT SPACE???

That’s a beautiful meal pie crust awesome Girl 👧 you are smart
How I envy their lives
Have you considered covering your front deck? Seems it would cut down on having to shovel snow in the morning. Love your channel!
12:34 Why didn't you pre-bake the bottom pie shell first ? Now the bottom of the pot pie is going to be SOGGY☹️😔 "Soggy Bottom Boys"...I love that song👍🏾😁
yum
Looks tasty!
I bet it was great:)!
Expecially-😊
Yum 😋😋😋 that meat pie looks GOOD!
Commercial farmers spray the potatoes to kill the vines before they dig them!

Khadijah Brown we are near Willow, nowhere near as chilly as Fairbanks. We do have earthquakes too but we are in the 1500' elevation range.
Watch out where the catahoula goes, don't you eat that yellow snow! :P Love watchin' your vids. Your catahoula is lovely, from a catahoula lover! :)
Prepsteader Bob at Content Creators told us about you. I came to through my support your way. I joined your channel to follow along. I heard you are from Oregon, I live near Hillsboro. I will be watching more vids.

Thank you! Bears are hibernating now but since we have been in Alaska we have not seen any believe it or not, moose are a much more common sight.
