Most of us have been tricked into materialism and comfort. The west has more material wealth and abundance than ever in history, yet depression, nihilism, drug addiction, and suicide are at record highs.
Wow,,You guys are awesome,,im just amazed watching you,,i enjoyed your grouse hunting vid too,,love the wild berries and jelly-jams,,i am going to learn to can food too ! Thank you.
I love your channel so much that I end up binge watching your videos on my days off, lol. I'm an inpatient medical/surgical/oncology nurse and I'm fascinated by the medicinal qualities and benefits of plants (fascination sparked by witnessing the effects of 'western' polypharmacy on patients). I'm so impressed with your knowledge base and really enjoy seeing how you grow, preserve, and use not only medicinal plants but everything you grow and forage. Thanks for another great video!
K B thank you so much 😀 we still have quite a bit we are learning especially in regards to food preservation and herbology. I worked as a dental hygienist prior to our move so although I think western medicine surely has its place I don't believe in blanket treatment and wish we could redirect our energy towards prevention (referring to dental). 😀
@@SimpleLivingAlaska My mom was a dental hygienist here in the SF Bay Area (Marin County) for 50 years. Mad respect; it's a hard job! She's the reason I became a nurse ;o)
Another name for the watermelon berries is "wild cucumber." If you have not tried the plant yet, give it a try as it tastes like cucumber. However it is better to get the plant earlier in the Spring when the plant is more tinder and less fibery. Also on the rose hips, they are perfectly fine to eat raw but it is best to spit out the seeds as some folks say that the seeds can be irritating to the digestive tract. I personally have never experienced any ill affects from eating the entire raw fruit but I never eat a lot at once either. But they are fine to eat raw as much as you like but just spit out the seeds. On the fireweed, you may or may not know that the roots are also edible and are quite good. Also are you aware that the leaves for tea can be fermented. Fermented fireweed leaf tea is an old Russian favorite from many years ago. I have yet to personally try it myself however. Enjoyed the video and gave a thumbs up. My wife watches your channel frequently. Hope you are successful in harvesting your yearly supply of meat. Wish you luck.
It’s Sunday morning and I’m in the middle of watching your video and though, I’d love some scones. My wife will be pleasantly surprised when she wakes up. Thank you for the inspiration and recipe.
@@Krazymarmo Self rising flour comes with baking powder in it. But if you use regular flour you need to add the baking flour to it. Google the proportion required per cup of flour. It may be 1 tsp baking powder per 1 cup of flour. This would be equivalent to using self rising flour.
Wow what a beautiful area, and I love the canning videos, especially ones with jellies and jams. The berries always tastes better from the wild for some reason. All rose hips are edible, I couldn't see them close up in the video, but it looks like those are Dog Rose (Rosa canina), they make really good jams and jellies, you're right they are quite watery. I just love your videos, your Root cellar is really quite wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing your homestead with us, Jimmy
Some folks might consider the .270 as a little light for moose...it will work just fine with a well-placed shot. The thing to remember is that moose are huge, and even with a destroyed heart and lungs it can take a minute or two for them to tip over. Use a good bullet (to me that means Nosler Partition), put it in the right spot, and you'll have meat. Then the real work begins, packing out a moose is no joke.
Lots of people are partial to a 308, but a 270 or 280 is fine. Similar size to my 1895 7mm Mauser (a touch older than Eric’s ‘old’ rifle), which also easily drops moose, and years ago a black bear.
My mom used to make pies out of what you call crow berries. One of my life long favorite pies. That was in the 70’s and I can still remember those berries popping as you bit into the pie. So good! She made jam out of those and the blue berries. Thanks for taking me back.
Really glad you guys are not caught up in the wild fires. Hope you guys have cleared all the spruce beetle killed trees out around your homestead. Keep that defensible space.
Another awesome video! Thanks guys for bringing us along! Excited to see the root cellar just before winter to see the full shelves and all you have saved for the long winter!
Oh no!!!!! Can't belive it, my old 270 Remington ADL(or BDL, I forget now,) that my mother gave me in high school in the 70's. Almost brought tears to my eyes seeing yours. Sold it when I went on a vegetarian thing at university(stupid me, grrrrrr.) rr Normandy, France
Hello! I just watched a few of your wonderful videos yesterday. They are so enjoyable, and I did learn a lot from you. I run a small organic farm in lower-northern Thailand where I grow mainly jasmine rice and banana. I also grow sweet corn and tropical vegetables such as long bean, pumpkin, cucumber, green okra, winged gourd, for example. Thank you for your efforts in producing all the great videos. Keep on doing a good job!
Wow! What an amazing moment! I never thought that you would make a response to my first comment to your videos. I have become one of your followers, enjoying my afternoon break with youtube videos, of course, including yours. Being energetic young people plus very skilled in what you do, both of you should be in the long run very successful in fulfilling your dream which finally will be a part in helping heal the world's environment. Congratulations!
I totally want to try that jelly. And all those teas would cost hundreds for organic wild grown and hand dried for a consumer to buy.. And here you guys are doing it yourselves
Very informative and fun, I have tried to grow haskap berries in the past, 3 times all died. My Naihbor has a big bush, no problems getting from them. Keep up the free living
A week and a half ago I took a bad fall on some steps and deeply bruised my foot. Binge watching y’all from the beginning has given me the perfect balance of resting off my feet to heal and motivation to at least get out and do something. Because #winteriscoming
Chamomile is very soothing and it relaxes you. If you combine it with little apple cider vinegar and lemon let it sit for 10 minutes and drink it, you will lose weight and brings out your appetite. Cheers
Loved seeing the scenery and wildlife. Excited that you are making the most from the berries and flowers natural to Alaska. Thanks for sharing your recipes and adventures.
It was my goal to make fireweed jelly this year, but fireweed did not do well in our area this summer! I have also been searching for crowberries on our hikes! You can eat raw rosehips, but you should cut them in half and scoop out the seeds. They have tiny hairs that irritate the GI tract. You can also dry them to use in tea. I use my dehydrator trays, even if I'm air drying. It's a good way to stack herbs and take up less space. A paper bag over hanging herbs can keep the sun off and bugs off. Once they are dry, the bag makes it easy to crumble the leaves and flowers off the stems.
Add the berries before the wet ingredients in your scones. Baking powder starts reacting as soon as it gets wet so you will get lighter scones if you leave the wet ingredients until last.
I learned something new to day I've never heard of watermelon berries. I read the comments of other viewers they don't realize you are getting paid for all the footage of your activities & work.Both you and your husband are smart business people you've got it made in the shade.
How wonderful that you can find so many eatable things in the wild and make jams, jelly and tea. It was a nice trip to find these things such beautiful areas.
I just subscribed a short while back but because I watch so much of it I get confused which are the ones that I really like. Now you kids are a breath of fresh air and watching to to of you team up to enjoy your life style is very rewarding. I heard some ow's in the video... looks as though the black top ended a little soon for this old man. I am 72 and lived in alaska most of it that is a good life. Down south is too restricted for me. I had a float house when I lived in the southeast of alaska... prince of wales island. So many logging and mining camps that I could tow my float to and live my life with my dogs. For some reason I connected with them better than people. I tend to isolate a bit. I worked as a mechanic and I worked when everyone was sleeping so I might or not talk to anyone but another mechanic and for meals when in camp. My dogs loved my cooking but I got tired of it a lot. They ate what I ate and for large dogs lived a long healthy life. I hear about root cellars and always loved getting food from there. I caned most of my meat cause refrigeration is hard on a boat/float. They loved crab or halibut and moose or venison. I tended to fish mostly cause I have a hard time killing for the simple killing thrill. I spent three tours in vietnam and I ain't been the same for some reason. I grew up at my dads place and he made me the farm animal and taking care of all these animals wasn't fun to me. I got to where I just didn't get along with people much. I like being out for a while but I don't drink and that made me a square peg in a round hole. I guess some people can live that way and its fine with me but don't tell me I have to. I like the nice clean home... not sure I'd fit in cause my place is clean but I have a large dog and hair gets in every thing.. it don't bother me cause he listens to me play my guitars and howls/ sings with sometimes and he is better than me at it. Well I really enjoyed your video and got to say that is a slice of heaven
A very unique but rewarding lifestyle you've chosen! Curious if you have also ever considered "falconry" to your rural habits? I do know the Gyrfalcon is optimum for this (especially in that mountainous berry region), however a more southern-midwest variant... the Harris Hawk might be easier, because they can hunt in pairs. Food for thought, and continued success!
You guys rock and I think you have the best channel. You look so young but yet are so knowledgeable, surpassing most everyone out there. The only other people that remind me of you are people I have served with in the military, as most modern people don't have the guts or knowledge to do what you are doing. God Bless and the best of luck on all of your plans.
As I mentioned earlier about the kitchen shelves, you should install sides & fronts to your root cellar shelves to prevent the jars, etc. from falling off during earthquakes! Too much work to get all of that tasty stuff to have it ruined by gravity, lol!
Anthony Bourdain with the last season of Parts Unknown ,before he offed himself, in one of the episodes he packs a bunch of chefs off to Newfoundland for a food cooking spree. What they did with moose tenderloins, and other regional harvest and forage, will make your jaw drop, well lubricated with drool... Check that episode out. Moose are a pest in Newfoundland with no natural predators. Probably a great place to release wolves to thin their prevalance.
That mud and rocks weren't fun, but oh so rewarding. The fruits and the view, wow. They window screen used for drying is perfectly fine. Smart thinking. The scones looked yummy and those jellies did as well. Thanks so much for sharing your life. Love you guys.
When my grandmother would come to our ranch during canning season she would take the screen door off and wash them then use it dry apricots. She would move them with the sun
Dried rose hips makes a good tea. You can substitute a lot of the lemon (if not all) in cooking with rhubarb if wanted. Crow-berry contains more iron and fiber than blueberry but less sugar. Both berries contains LOTS of other beneficial substances. If you store in preboiled glass containers using preboiled tools you only need a total of 25% sugar in the jam for it too hold for several years. Specially in your fine underground storage.
Your doing a good job stocking that new cellar . There is an abundance in nature if one is willing to do the work collecting and preserving it. Your living a life style I have enjoyed for many years. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Best wishes. Paul
i think they sell the blueberry rakes on amazon now. SOOOOOO handy to have to speed things up. only downside is you pick up debris which you have to sift out. An air hose attachment works well for the leaves and lighter material. Just a helpful tip I've learned in the last few years. Great vid guys!
Wow!! The scenery is just spectacular! I stumbled upon your videos the other day and have been binging ever since. I really love your lifestyle. I live vigorously through you guys.
Good luck getting across those creeks you crossed this fall, the rains will make that same area, almost impassable. Those swamps will be like even worse!
blaahster knowing we went there on the driest part of the year, we are smart enough to assume how water levels and trail conditions would change during fall or a less dry year.
I love how you let Alaska speak for itself with all the panning footage of Its vistas making it an integral character to your vlog. The content is very approachable and informative. Well done you :)
Another fantastic video! Thank you both so much for letting us experience parts of your life adventure; very much appreciated. I really like your ingenuity, dedication and work ethic. I also like the quality of the videos and how you explain what you are doing. That produce you’ve been working on should be really helpful and healthy - especially during winter. Many thanks and kind regards from Australia. I can’t wait for the next instalment! Regards, Jeff. 👍😀
You can eat rose hip raw. Some people are bothered by the seeds, but when they are completely ripe you can pull the flesh off the seeds easily.another interesting thing about watermelon berries. the plant is also eatable. it has a cucumber like flavor.
If everyone were like you two, this world would be a better place!......
Ur right, they are my favourite couple on YT.
Misterbillll thank you, such a nice thing to say 😀
Most of us have been tricked into materialism and comfort. The west has more material wealth and abundance than ever in history, yet depression, nihilism, drug addiction, and suicide are at record highs.
I agree Misterbilll. My favorite too! A sweet and smart couple. I love their videos.

Yes, as kids we frequently ate ripe off the plant Rose Hips, back then I knew about their high Vitamin C content!
I believe the wild roses of Alaska are prickly rose (rosa acicularis).
Rose hips are edible, but the seeds will upset your stomach, so you need to strain them.

R.A Williams words of a wise hunter. The funny thing is so many people take moose every year with a .270.
Sackmatters very true. My nephew took his first moose with a 30-30.
On the 270, would suggest using a 180 grain definitely nothing smaller than 150 grain. 😜 size matters
I've harvested 2 Moose with a 270. Dropped right where they were standing.
Lots of people are partial to a 308, but a 270 or 280 is fine. Similar size to my 1895 7mm Mauser (a touch older than Eric’s ‘old’ rifle), which also easily drops moose, and years ago a black bear.

And all the rest of berries, flowers 🌸 and guns ( no like ) but necessary in Alaska. Thank you, love you guys. More videos.
Thank you guys. Love watching you do the things I cannot do any more. Love the wilderness
Those are some crazy marshy paths thank God for your winch!
I hope that you two and the fur-babies are doing ok with all the fires going on. Wishing you the best and love your channel!

You guys, that video was spectacular. Beautifully done. And your dogs, just want to hug them. So sweet.
Looks like a fun day! I live in North Carolina. Going to learn more about foraging in my area this year.

i think they sell the blueberry rakes on amazon now. SOOOOOO handy to have to speed things up. only downside is you pick up debris which you have to sift out. An air hose attachment works well for the leaves and lighter material. Just a helpful tip I've learned in the last few years. Great vid guys!
Wow!! The scenery is just spectacular! I stumbled upon your videos the other day and have been binging ever since. I really love your lifestyle. I live vigorously through you guys.
Ruth Nuon thank you ❤
Good luck getting across those creeks you crossed this fall, the rains will make that same area, almost impassable. Those swamps will be like even worse!
blaahster knowing we went there on the driest part of the year, we are smart enough to assume how water levels and trail conditions would change during fall or a less dry year.
I love how you let Alaska speak for itself with all the panning footage of Its vistas making it an integral character to your vlog. The content is very approachable and informative. Well done you :)
Wow so beautiful! Berries looked delicious!
Another fantastic video! Thank you both so much for letting us experience parts of your life adventure; very much appreciated. I really like your ingenuity, dedication and work ethic. I also like the quality of the videos and how you explain what you are doing. That produce you’ve been working on should be really helpful and healthy - especially during winter. Many thanks and kind regards from Australia. I can’t wait for the next instalment! Regards, Jeff. 👍😀
Jeff MT09 thank you, you have no idea how much that means to us 💚
You are most welcome. I’m so pleased my message has helped in some way. You are both so inspiring to me and many others. 💜
You can eat rose hip raw. Some people are bothered by the seeds, but when they are completely ripe you can pull the flesh off the seeds easily.another interesting thing about watermelon berries. the plant is also eatable. it has a cucumber like flavor.
Great video. Amazing scenery. Enjoy all your videos! A cook book of your recipes might be a project in the future.🫐
