    Hey! I live down here in the SW Arizona desert, you had better believe I subscribe to your channel and any channel that deals with homesteading in Alaska! seeing your beautiful state, watching you all fishing, even doing your chores always makes me feel so good. Just makes me wish I were 50 years younger and doing it myself. I am looking forward to when you get your Mom there to stay with you. May God Bless and Protect you all always!

But the big addition that most states don't get the pleasure of celebrating,, Mud Season. Vermont, with lots of New England granite reall close to the surface, the plow keeps hitting it,, Mud Season turns the roads to a creamy brown soup. Quite beautiful.

    Hello Stacy and Gary, I love these types of videos. I realize that is easy for me to say. I am sitting in my living room watching Gary chop the wood. 🙂 I am curious as to how you preparing for winter. Do you stock up on food supplies? Other channels I watch say they try to have 2 to 4 months of food on hand in case they get snowed in and can't get out. Do you have to do that where you live? If so what are your goals for storage? Thank you for the videos. They are always fun and entertaining. Appreciate all the work you put into them. All the best to you.

    • @LivingFreeAlaska
      @LivingFreeAlaska  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      We live one mile off the Parks Highway with 2 grocery stores within a 15 minutes drive so unlike many of my fellow Alaska TH-camrs we are closer to civilization so we don't have to worry as much. BUT we still have a good stock of food in our bulk pantry as well as our freezers. It doesn't take much to create a food shortage around here if the barge/ship's breaks down or is delayed by weather or the highway has a full closure. We kind of take the approach prepare for the worst in case SHTF but still rely on local stores for most. Also our freezers are definitely very full with moose, salmon and halibut this year due to our several fishing trips and the recent roadkill moose that we were blessed with so that reduces great pressure off of us in case a disaster does happen. We are prepared. Also our new way of eating we don't need much from the stores anymore either... as we only eat meat and fish. Hope that helps answer your question! Thanks Bill for stopping by and chatting with us. We so appreciate it!

      PFD is our Permanent Fund Dividend and is where the State of Alaska pays its permanent residents annually an income from interest it makes from oils revenues. Alaska is one of the only States it pays its residents to live there. It pays out every October and this year every resident will receive $1718. Last year it paid out $1300 per person. Many businesses will run huge sales during this time hoping folks will spend it on their products. Last year was our first year receiving it and we chose to put it back towards heating our home and will probably do that again this year. And yes the blues were amazing!!!!

The best advice is to keep watching and also look for some of the smaller Alaska TH-cam Channels... it's definitely not easy living up here and I feel the smaller channels bring the "real" to real life. Not knocking the bigger channels (we hope to grow big too) but you need fair and balanced watch time to see how we all do Alaska differently... because there is no one way to do it! Again thanks for the suggestion and stopping by! Keep following that dream and I will pray for you to turn it into a reality!!!

      It really depends on how much wood we are burning. If we aren't burning we can go thru our 500 gallon tank every 5-6 weeks... hence why our wood supply is so important to keep up on. This is good to know and we will definitely look into Newmans auto-fill. I would rather spread it out over time to drive down the cost if possible. Thanks for that information!

      This wood we are splitting can be burned this winter as it's been down for two years now. We have a fan blowing on it until the snow flies to help finish the drying process now that it is split open.

    Weight loss requires a significant reduction in calories consumed. It's not the desk role which has kept you fat. It's what you have eaten for years and have not changed your eating habits enough to impact on weight.

      If you’ve seen other videos of ours you will learn I’ve lost over 35lbs this summer from eating healthy and the Carnivore way of eating. To put in context… I was only referring to the fact my husband had lost more than me because he is a man. I’m very proud of what I have lost and continue to lose.
