My wife and I lived off grid in Texas.....in the wood. My wife died last year. All I can say... Young man.... Look to your side. There stands a wonderful woman. Appreciate these times
Great video. Most people think about the romantic idea of living off grid. But there's a lot of work involved however you guys being a team and doing it together makes it all worthwhile! Thanks.
Loved every minute of this one guys. Lots of us out here understand how much effort goes into shooting a 20 minute video. We’re watching so please keep it up. From one homesteader to the next. Cheers
@@SimpleLivingAlaska oh yeah, big ti e beautiful to see & I am learning so much! You two are an awesome couple that works so hard & plays harder. Just askin'~ would it be good for the birds to have more greens or would they waste your hard work? It just seems that you are blessed so with vegetation you planted!
@@SimpleLivingAlaska Do you 2 have a video about how your able to financially sustain this lifestyle?? Because that's the one I need to see. I'm in Oregon and that Polaris is right around 18/20g used. Good deals are out there but it's not everytime🤔🤔 I have a house "completely paid off" I could rent out and move. But that would not cover all the extra cool stuff🤑
@@503rpf They were lucky enough to be born in the bay area and got into the housing market there before it blew up. Then they used those proceeds to level up in Oregon before the boom happened here and leveled up even more. I looked at the ziilow info and they made like 200k on their Oregon property, likely near the same amount for Cali, if not more it being in the Bay area. Everyone in the West, outside of Cali, knows how Californians sell big and then move to AZ, OR, WA, Alaska, etc and live better than the natives do, driving up home prices in the process. Since then, they're earning a decent salary being influencers, but they couldn't have "retired" at 30 without that Cali deal, that's for sure. I like them and all, but their success--as they have stated in one of their earlier videos--is due mostly to luck in the beginning. Obviously, they have the determination to build off of it though, but it's still a little frustrating how they portray living in Alaska like this when for most Alaskans it is far less romantic and "simple." 20k tractor here, 20k offroad buggy there, 16k boat here, 10k jetski there. remote cabin here, rental property there. No "simple" people can afford that type of stuff in four years without a six figure income and an additional six figure savings!
You guys are the modern day pioneers. In such a short period of time it seems like this is so natural . The work to sustain life is constant and extremely hard but the rewards show on your faces. Your beautiful inside and out. Thx for sharing parts of your journey called "life"
This is the second video I've watched from your channel and I just want to say thanks for sharing your lives and home with the internet. Currently, the world is enduring a pandemic that is creating much uncertainty for many, including myself. Watching this video brought me back to the days when I could roam the wilderness only needing to be concerned for large predators, not microscopic viruses. Thanks for helping me get a break from the chaos!
I love every minute of your videos even the ones they just cooking building using the land cutting the trees fishing I really look forward I'm a disabled person and I just enjoyed your wife and you doing these videos thank you so much Steven John Castro known as Big boy
Nice to know that you read all of our comments. And you get a lot! We also appreciate all the videoing that you do and bringing the beauty of Alaska to us. I've never been to Alaska, but have wanted to drive there on the AlCan Hwy. I talked to a guy here in Wisconsin who said he drives there every year and runs his dogs in the Iditarod. First and only person I've ever talked to who was actually in the Iditarod. I enjoyed your video. It was nice to spend a day on your homestead.
I’m sure I would like living like this. I’ve been wanting to move to Alaska. They are surrounded by heavenly nature. Many modern people are drawn to nature, to their ethnic roots. Simple, self-sustaining life is a way to go. It’s good for the earth & life on earth. I view modern urbanization as something negative & very destructive, but that’s just my own perception of it. I’m happy for them, and maybe even a little jealous, because they’ve already begun their off grid self-sustaining life, means they are safe from the horrors that are coming in the future. These guys secured their bloodline, safely existing of-grid, not relying on any system, or on anyone. Living a healthy beautiful life. Good for you guys.
I like watching fellow Alaskans as I have been one since 1970, right after service worked in the south east till 89 then came to Anchorage but as soon as I visited Wasilla area and I was hooked so moved to valley in 98 and never left. Your garden looks so good. I can live on beet greens!! I lived on a float house in the southeast and had sea food year round. I even had a garden on my float which was large. Seabass and all kinds of fish that probably never had a name, ( very ugly)/LOL I subscribed this morning cause your the kind of people I like even if I am 72
Absolutely! As a huge fan of the channel I often find myself watching many of the older videos looking at how things have changed in such a few short years, and all the changes are for better.
I'm subbing so I can watch Alaska, and I really like homesteading vids... It was something I always dreamed of doing, but a bad car accident 25 yrs ago ruined that, & been in a wheel chair for 7 yrs. So live well, joyfully and show us your dream comming true, and lots of beautiful scenery too. Thanks!
No reason that should stop you with enough modifications to your homestead. I'm blind legally with a few other visual impairments, I still plan on going off grid and maybe sail around the world someday.
I've been watching your guys' videos for a month, and I'm glad that I have been because I felt ready for the winter as it arrived. Just got back from our families places after the holidays, and our home was freezing, our (non metal) pipes just froze, our oven quit working, and I was stocked up with water and ideas to heat the house, wash the dishes, and everything. Your guys' attitude and work ethic has been very inspiring, so thank you for sharing your chilly lifestyle. ✨
Thanks for all the wonderful footage of your beautiful area. Mother nature sure knows how to decorate! You both are a wonderful inspiration to all generations on how to treat each others in a relationship. I can tell that you have a wonderful marriage. May the Universe Bless you with a life of Love & Joy!
Thank you two for taking the extra time to makes these videos that allow folks like me to live the dream along with you. I always look forward to the next video. Thanks again guys and thank you for supporting me as well.
I love stumbling upon older videos of your. It's so neat to see not only how much has changed but also how much you've stayed the same. Your authenticity is what draws people to you and keeps them coming back. Congratulations on an amazing channel!
Absolutely loving your channel on lockdown. Here in Va I’m happy to have found something that I love watching because I always wanted to move to Alaska to live off grid. You both are living my life I always wanted to live. Love you both and love love watching everything.
We should be thanking YOU for all of the effort and hard work you have done to document and teach everyone how to live off-grid. Thank You!!! NOW THIS IS LIVING!!!
What beautiful scenery! I enjoyed watching the dogs getting their exercise. What great dogs who are so well cared for. Another great video. Thank you so much!
Please keep up with your Volgs. I've followed from day One. I'm amazed with you both of you what you have done. in your first year. With both of your mind sets I can see your goals. Can't wait to see if I'm right.
Totally awesome videos, I currently live in Washington state. But use to fish commercially up there from the Bering Sea, out west, off of Unimak Island, prince William sound, S.East Ak., inside & outside waters of Washington state, Oregon coast, & San Francisco Bay for hering. I truly miss everything about Alaska. An amazing state. Even though the winters up there are, well challenging is an understatement sometimes. But that builds character I think. I'm up there in age now, 62 years young this coming January. But watching your videos kinda take me back there, without freezing my backside off in the process. And thanks for the education as well. You guys are very informative, and people that watch your videos can learn a LOT. So keep up the great work, you're both doing a great job teaching the rest of the country, and the world about the country in itself, "The awesome State of Alaska". Take care, & All the best to you guys. Sincerely, Virgil V. Jr. Ferndale Wa. 98248
..........I love to see a young couple living life to the fullest.....a good clean honest way of living....I subbed after two vids......Peace to both of you always.......
I'm at a point at the end of my life where I digest a tremendous amount of internet content. I find yours easy on the eyes. I've also studied and taught video production so I tend to pick things apart. It is a compliment that I so seldom comment to the screen "Ah, C'mon guys!" You're living a version of a dream that I'd have enjoyed. Thanks for sharing.
Hey! We’re watching you guys over here in Grady County, Oklahoma. I’ve traveled to all 48 states and Canada and even old Mexico in my 38 years of trucking. I havn’t been to Alaska or Hawaii yet. I wish I was young again like you two and could start all over. Watching you two work together is really cool. 👍
Thank you for sharing with us. I am from Malta and I have been watching back all of your videos. I am house and most of the time bed bound too due to chronic illness. Your videos are an inspiration and keeps me going to watch more. Some times I close my eyes and imagine I am breathing the fresh unpolluted air that you do.
I think your both really hard workers and have a great life style. You make a wonderful couple. When I was young I always wanted to live on a small holding with our six children, unfortunately it never happened as my husband had a bad accident at work. I’m enjoying watching the both of you having this fabulous life, working so well together. I’m 66 years old and thought I knew a lot about baking and freezing foods but you have both definitely learnt me so much more about growing your own vegetables and canning, so thank you I’m enjoying every episode since I found you on u tube. Maureen from England
I am so glad I found your channel! It beats anything in tv these days; no cursing, no violence, No politics and most of all no pressure! Just beautiful scenery and wholesome living! You guys are an Amazing couple. Thank you for sharing your lives with us!
I grew up in Alaska in the 70's. Dad was stationed at Elmendorf AFB. .Was a great time I had there then. I enjoy your videos of your homesteading. I always wonder where where you are at. Keep up the posts. Nice to watch.
I've been living like you off grid since 2010 in MN with just a broke small freezer I use as a cooler and still working on cellar so potatoes and garden stuff doesn't freeze is key. And meat.
You two are so brave and creative to venture out and build such a self sustaining lifestyle, I thoroughly enjoy each and every video you two share with us.
You guys are so awesome.. when your video shows up I get all excited and can't wait to watch... When I was in my twenties I wanted to do exactly what you guys are doing.. So now I'm in my sixties and living this through you... Thank you.. everything's starting to look beautiful...
It's never too late, I am 2 years from 60 and we live off-grid at 9000 ft in the Rockies, we get 9 ' of snow in the winter and grow a 1/2 acre garden every year (using a greenhouse for winter growing and have goats, chickens, ducks, turkeys and a guinea hen. We live 9 miles from the nearest asphalt road... love it! I wouldn't want to live any other way of life...
I wish I did this when I was your age but as an Englishman with my wife living in the hills of northern andalucia Spain I'm not off grid but we take advantage of all the in season fresh produce and can and freeze for the winter. It's as close as we can get and take the dogs out in the olive groves and not see a sole all day I wish you well
My husband died 7¾ yrs ago and we always wanted to go to Alaska but due to our declined health we didn't make it. :( I have been watching your videos for a year or so I watched your move from Oregon. You inspire me this spring my Grandson, Daughter and I are going to grab a garden. I bought so many grow bags some 8'x16' some 4'x8' some 4'x4' and some 2'x2' rightnow I have so much soil in our garage and all the bone meal , potassium, vegetable vitamins, coffee grounds and eggshells crushed for the calcium. I'm rewatching all you videos to get refreshed as to what you do. I LOVE YOUR LITTLE FAMILY!
I know this was 2 years ago but I watched it. Every now and then one of yours pops up that was awhile back so I sit and watch it . Sometimes things I seen before gets answered . I really appreciate all the work you do to make these videos . I do enjoys watching what your day is like . I know it a lot of work but your videos go by to fast! Stay safe I know all about carrying We do and we live in a huge city in suburbans but fixen to move to a bit smaller town now that we’re retired !
I am very envious of your simple living. Being in Los Angeles all my life, this is just a reminder again that there is more better and healthier lifestyle outside the major metropolitan. Love the end portion and see why you choose your lifestyle. Polaris should pay you because that looks a lot like a Polaris commercial. God bless.
Im all for the smoked ham n eggs! A lot of my breakfasts consist of such. Could possibly be a mater or another green on the side, but not necessary. Grinding them into a pulp, is a false sense of making them palatable!
I do laundry just like you do, I have my grandmother's two old laundry tubes and her mother's original wooden wringer, love doing it outside and the clothes smell so much better when they are put on a line to dry, love the channel, 👍🇨🇦❤
I enjoy your site, because you explain in detail what life is as "off the grid" and it makes me wish I could do it. It's too late in my life, but I like watching.
Hello from Down Under I have just discovered your channel. You are so living the dream and I love the way you are living off the grid with such a simply life's journey. I have learnt so much from the videos watched so far. Cheers and give your beautiful dogs a belly rub from me.
Living in Alaska is my ultimate life goal. I visited last July and I never cried leaving a place like I did leaving Alaska. You guys are my inspiration ❤️ not sure how I found your channel but I’m so glad I did.
One thing i have learned from binge watching your videos is that i would rather have the quiet sounds of Alaska or whatever is going on in the video rather than the music. 👍🤩. Thanks. Enjoy your videos.
Been watching Shawn James " My Self Reliance" but enjoy your videos much more. so I subscribed. Just more happiness in watching a couple living their dream
Hi from France, merci pour toutes vos belles vidéos que je regarde avec beaucoup d’admiration et vous avez beaucoup de courage de vivre en Alaska et de profiter de ce que vous donne la nature en toutes saisons. manuel
Happy Whatever Day!!! When people live their lives in the nature it pretty much does not matter what country it is (maybe just postal code will tell the truth Lol ) and btw Alaska used to be Russian :) Good luck guys! You are such an inspiration
When we lived in north Idaho and central oregon we had to do alot of what you all do trying to get our animals and our home yard ready for deep snows cold all that comes living in a bitter cold environment. It's tough but fun as well it's like is worth it . I really enjoy your Alaska vlogs Alaska was always on my bucket list of course. Have some close friends who are living the Alaska dream right now. Stay safe and happy.
Love 💗 watching your awesome beautiful life , I’m so glad to have found your videos and I’m hooked on your TH-cam channel. How much joy it must be to wake up to your homestead everyday and see what you grow to your animals ect.. Everyone should try and live this way to save the planet and ourselves from all the chemicals that others feed and put in there livestock to sell at the markets to the public. Way to go for your awesome job and TH-cam video channel.👏🙏👍💕🐓🥦🥬🍠🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰thank you for sharing your experience and journey, keep up the great work.. can’t wait to see what you do next. Loving this lifestyle and love you.💕💕💕💕💕💕👍👍👍👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I have so much fun watching your videos. My husband core drilled in Alaska for many years back in the 80s and 90s. I never got to visit because of all the flying costs. I imagine us doing what you are. We did settle in Idaho but never become self Sufficient.
I love your videos! Such amazing beauty! Y'all are already producing lots of food. All that sunshine and your expertise is showing up as a fabulous garden.
Thinking about your fan situation in the poly tunnel: how about grading the tunnel so that one end is higher than the other? That way, you get natural air flow without using power.
I love your videos. There’s no arguing or drama. You two work well together. The production of the videos are put together nicely, very interesting and full of great ideas and information. Hope there’s many many more videos to come. Signed-Snow loving Moutain girl from Texas.
I have been watching you two for about two months now or longer , like every thing you you do !!!!! I'm retired now I was masonry contractor for over 45 years all over the world.. I go up to Alaska once a year to do mission work in dillingham of course you take the fishing pole .... if you can buy a cheap concrete mixer you can use it for a lot of things ,I mix my potting soil for my nursery in one and bird seeds , and chicken feed,, corn, alfalfa pellets,, it works grate, you are building like mad ,you will be able to used it a lot !!!!!!!
Awesome video ! you need a gun rack for that 4 wheeler, that poor (looked like a Ruger 10/22) needs a home !!. You two do a great job with the videos i just wish there were more.
My wife and I lived off grid in Texas.....in the wood.
My wife died last year.
All I can say...
Young man....
Look to your side.
There stands a wonderful woman.
Appreciate these times
Robert Jones we're sorry to hear that. Trying to appreciate every day we have ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss❤️
Ooof
Robert Jones I am so sorry for your loss ❤️
The Lord bless you and keep you!
😆So you litterally made 'Green Eggs and Ham' 😂 love it!
This vlog may be 3 yes old but it was a joy to watch the gosling jump into their pool for some leafy greens! Y'all are doing great!
Great video. Most people think about the romantic idea of living off grid. But there's a lot of work involved however you guys being a team and doing it together makes it all worthwhile! Thanks.

My mom and I love your channel, kind of became a tradition to watch a couple of videos before dinner.
Love from Moroccans in the Netherlands
Wow, what a life you two have together. A real partnership! God bless.
Look at Bou walking for distances and getting out on his own. You both are smiling and kind of giddy. It's amazing what a few years can change. ❤

Bo and Bandit are the coolest off grid dogs ever!!!

Mike Dauth thank you, we get excited about uploading them and really enjoy the interaction ☺
It's never too late, I am 2 years from 60 and we live off-grid at 9000 ft in the Rockies, we get 9 ' of snow in the winter and grow a 1/2 acre garden every year (using a greenhouse for winter growing and have goats, chickens, ducks, turkeys and a guinea hen. We live 9 miles from the nearest asphalt road... love it! I wouldn't want to live any other way of life...
Not too late! I live alone in a cabin 40 miles from them and I am 71.
Beautiful couple! The best life lesson, youtube channel. Thank you for sharing. Love you guys!
I wish I did this when I was your age but as an Englishman with my wife living in the hills of northern andalucia Spain I'm not off grid but we take advantage of all the in season fresh produce and can and freeze for the winter. It's as close as we can get and take the dogs out in the olive groves and not see a sole all day I wish you well
My husband died 7¾ yrs ago and we always wanted to go to Alaska but due to our declined health we didn't make it. :( I have been watching your videos for a year or so I watched your move from Oregon. You inspire me this spring my Grandson, Daughter and I are going to grab a garden. I bought so many grow bags some 8'x16' some 4'x8' some 4'x4' and some 2'x2' rightnow I have so much soil in our garage and all the bone meal , potassium, vegetable vitamins, coffee grounds and eggshells crushed for the calcium. I'm rewatching all you videos to get refreshed as to what you do. I LOVE YOUR LITTLE FAMILY!
Could not fine a decent thing on the TV. We saw your refreshing video's from Alaska. We are hooked.The best to you both.
I wish I was younger, I would be doing what you are doing. Keep up the great videos. I hope they inspire others of your generation.
I LOVE how you have your dogs trained!!!
I know this was 2 years ago but I watched it. Every now and then one of yours pops up that was awhile back so I sit and watch it . Sometimes things I seen before gets answered . I really appreciate all the work you do to make these videos . I do enjoys watching what your day is like . I know it a lot of work but your videos go by to fast! Stay safe I know all about carrying We do and we live in a huge city in suburbans but fixen to move to a bit smaller town now that we’re retired !
I am very envious of your simple living. Being in Los Angeles all my life, this is just a reminder again that there is more better and healthier lifestyle outside the major metropolitan. Love the end portion and see why you choose your lifestyle. Polaris should pay you because that looks a lot like a Polaris commercial. God bless.
You folks are just outstanding. Thanks for taking us along 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the scenery!
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS A MAN *82 years young in a wheelchair I watch every one of your videos
Im all for the smoked ham n eggs! A lot of my breakfasts consist of such. Could possibly be a mater or another green on the side, but not necessary. Grinding them into a pulp, is a false sense of making them palatable!
Understand that I'm not a juicer, but I do believe there's a little more to juicing than that.
The view of the country is unbelievable!! Thank you! God bless you!
watching u feed feeding the chickens reminds of being a kid feeding my chickens great vid ...peace out
I rewatch your videos. I have my favorites, love the photography and the cooking. Thanks for sharing.
I do laundry just like you do, I have my grandmother's two old laundry tubes and her mother's original wooden wringer, love doing it outside and the clothes smell so much better when they are put on a line to dry, love the channel, 👍🇨🇦❤
I enjoy your site, because you explain in detail what life is as "off the grid" and it makes me wish I could do it. It's too late in my life, but I like watching.
Hello from Down Under I have just discovered your channel. You are so living the dream and I love the way you are living off the grid with such a simply life's journey. I have learnt so much from the videos watched so far. Cheers and give your beautiful dogs a belly rub from me.
freeman61 Hello! Thanks for checking us out 😀 The pups sure love belly rubs!
You both are very hard working but you make it look easy. Love watching.

Great video showcasing your land. I retired 2 years ago an I envy you both👍

Y’all are living a WONDERFUL LIFE! ❤️
Living in Alaska is my ultimate life goal. I visited last July and I never cried leaving a place like I did leaving Alaska. You guys are my inspiration ❤️ not sure how I found your channel but I’m so glad I did.
after seeing your garden Im going to plow mine under
Larry Lovegren lol don't do that haha!
Amazing teachers . God bless you both
You guys are living my dream!!
I wish that I could live like you do. I'm 77 now so it's too late to start but I admire you two and love your life style.
It’s so beautiful! I just told the Lord I wish I had a man I could live in Alaska with! I love your lifestyle!
One thing i have learned from binge watching your videos is that i would rather have the quiet sounds of Alaska or whatever is going on in the video rather than the music. 👍🤩. Thanks. Enjoy your videos.
New subscriber here. Love your channel! Beautiful homestead.
Truth Finder thanks for checking the channel out 😀
Been watching Shawn James " My Self Reliance" but enjoy your videos much more. so I subscribed. Just more happiness in watching a couple living their dream
I LOVE OUR 2ND AMENDMENT !!
Hi from France, merci pour toutes vos belles vidéos que je regarde avec beaucoup d’admiration et vous avez beaucoup de courage de vivre en Alaska et de profiter de ce que vous donne la nature en toutes saisons. manuel

Thank you for the videos. Takes a lot of work to make things look easy..lol. Really enjoy watching and sharing your world.
Happy Whatever Day!!! When people live their lives in the nature it pretty much does not matter what country it is (maybe just postal code will tell the truth Lol ) and btw Alaska used to be Russian :)
Good luck guys! You are such an inspiration
When we lived in north Idaho and central oregon we had to do alot of what you all do trying to get our animals and our home yard ready for deep snows cold all that comes living in a bitter cold environment. It's tough but fun as well it's like is worth it . I really enjoy your Alaska vlogs Alaska was always on my bucket list of course. Have some close friends who are living the Alaska dream right now. Stay safe and happy.
Love 💗 watching your awesome beautiful life , I’m so glad to have found your videos and I’m hooked on your TH-cam channel. How much joy it must be to wake up to your homestead everyday and see what you grow to your animals ect..
Everyone should try and live this way to save the planet and ourselves from all the chemicals that others feed and put in there livestock to sell at the markets to the public. Way to go for your awesome job and TH-cam video channel.👏🙏👍💕🐓🥦🥬🍠🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰thank you for sharing your experience and journey, keep up the great work.. can’t wait to see what you do next. Loving this lifestyle and love you.💕💕💕💕💕💕👍👍👍👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Barb Mcfarlane thank you!!
I have so much fun watching your videos. My husband core drilled in Alaska for many years back in the 80s and 90s. I never got to visit because of all the flying costs. I imagine us doing what you are. We did settle in Idaho but never become self Sufficient.
OMG, thought that was your breakfast you were spooning out at the beginning.
I love your videos! Such amazing beauty! Y'all are already producing lots of food. All that sunshine and your expertise is showing up as a fabulous garden.
Thinking about your fan situation in the poly tunnel: how about grading the tunnel so that one end is higher than the other? That way, you get natural air flow without using power.
I love your videos. There’s no arguing or drama. You two work well together. The production of the videos are put together nicely, very interesting and full of great ideas and information. Hope there’s many many more videos to come. Signed-Snow loving Moutain girl from Texas.
the washing took me back 70 years - the way my ma did it
At least you don’t have to worry about snakes. The water looked so clear and pure. Nice video.
What an awesome life you guys are going for! Love the nature of Alaska!
I have been watching you two for about two months now or longer , like every thing you you do !!!!! I'm retired now I was masonry contractor for over 45 years all over the world.. I go up to Alaska once a year to do mission work in dillingham of course you take the fishing pole .... if you can buy a cheap concrete mixer you can use it for a lot of things ,I mix my potting soil for my nursery in one and bird seeds , and chicken feed,, corn, alfalfa pellets,, it works grate, you are building like mad ,you will be able to used it a lot !!!!!!!
Awesome video ! you need a gun rack for that 4 wheeler, that poor (looked like a Ruger 10/22) needs a home !!. You two do a great job with the videos i just wish there were more.
My new 'go to' channel. I wish you many blessings.
OPEN JUICE AND CARRY 😂😁NICE
Great show! You folks are very dedicated to your life obviously! Good on you.
