Flying to Our Remote Alaskan Cabin

- Third time is the charm couldn't be more true for this adventure to our remote cabin. A broken boat, high winds, and the river's low water level made reaching the cabin seem near impossible but we take to the sky and finally make it there by float plane. The new wood stove gets its first fire, we fish for northern pike, and enjoy a dinner cooked outdoors over the campfire. Life is good at the cabin :)

You folks are living the life that I always wanted to experience, but was never able to get it started. I am an 80-year-old man who now lives his life through you two and your dogs. You make my life more interesting and just plain enjoyable. You have the most enjoyable and informative while being inclusive on the web. Many thanks
God bless you MrD !!!!! So true
Me too love to be able to get out there and enjoy nature but I am 66 yrs old can’t handle that cold weather 🥶
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes the same is for me. I would love to live in Alaska! But only in nice weather 🤣
Me too Lawrence !!!
Well Said , 👍👍
You guys are like children. You always find joy in everything you do. A compliment in case you're wondering. I think it's great. We would live in a much better world if more people were like you. Also, I have fallen in love with Bo and Bandit...especially Bo.
“Eric! Eric. THINK about what YOURE doing.”
I was on the floor with that one. If that isn’t me with my husband. And Eric said back “I’m just trying to live my life!”
Y’all crack us up so much. These cabin videos feel so dang cozy and I appreciate you sharing them the way you do. Thank you guys for another wonderful chapter.
Ahhh, and everything is alright and the day's so much better because Simple Living Alaska released a 1-hour video for us!!! ❄️❄️❄️🌨️🌨️🌨️🏔️🏔️🏔️
And it went by way too fast.
My feeling exactly!
You know something you just pretty much said it all right there I have never been associated with any kind of online anyting where we just pretty much had to build it all, I'm 71 and these are like my kids, they teach me something everyday. Man I've been moose hunting, fishing with a mouse, yo Eric you miss that one that was a big fish, broke down in a boat, had a bear try to get in the cabin it's getting to be Kansas winter. But have a good day and thanks so very much for the videos Jack
Exactly. I just made a fresh cup of coffee so I could settle in for this!
I know I love these too so much .. much love and respect for the both of you . 🙏❤️ Y'all are amazing.
I feel like a little child watching his parents when I watch your videos. I relate to just about everything you two put together and I can remember my childhood at mile 27 on the Alaska Highway. We hunted, fished and spent many a weekend fishing at little lakes like the one where your cabin is. I also appreciate your teamwork and how you enjoy life in the Alaskan wilderness.
I'm so jealous. Your childhood sounds awesome!
Oh hell yea. A whole hour?! Y’all are just spoiling us now.
Look, white, lumpy rain!
That was so nice of your neighbor to loan you his boat - kudos to him.
Ya know, maybe it would be a good idea to have a small boat just as a backup to leave at the cabin.
Wow! That stove looks really nice with the glass front.
Bandit has a really intense look while flying; kinda like, "daddy, can I try it now?". Meanwhile, Bo is just like, "dude, let me hug you & you hug me back".
Took 3 tries, but it looks like another fun run in the back country. Glad you had a blast.
Nowadays you can't loan nobody your boat then steal it
Just wanted to thank you guys for the massive time/effort you guys invest in these videos! They're always gorgeous, and I really love seeing updates on the shenanigans you guys get into. Such drama to start with in this one!
@@Mike_hocksbig69 Alaskans can do this without youtube
@@roibigdawg4606 correct, but these are Californians who relocated. Maybe educate yourself before rushing to defend?

Hey guys, for those Northern Pike, try using a Johnson Minnow with a white (rubber skirt - if you can find one)skirt. Today, most skirts you can find are only vinyl. They just don't have the same great action that a rubber skirt has in the water. Some folks also used a white grub tail.
I use only the 1/4 oz. size. The lure is about 3" long and 3/4" wide. My father, brother, and I have tried all of the other colors and found silver gets the most strikes and catches the most fish. We always used a 6" steel leader. If you are fishing in an area where those baby's grow to 15+ pounds, , go with a longer leader (12").
This lure is a weedless lure. Frequently check the weedless barb to make certain is pushed passed the hook by about 1/16"-1/8"
You can cast these directly into the Lilly pads. The Northern will chase these things from the shallow out the deep. When retrieving, hold your rod tip high above your head (or stand up) as you retrieve the lure across the tops of the pads. Don't be in a rush to retrieve the lure. As long s you a reeling the lure in, it is laying on its back running across the pads so it won't get snagged on a pad. However, as soon as you stop retrieving the lure, it will flip back over and be hook down in the pads. I prefer throwing my minnow into the Lilly's and retrieve it back through the channels in the pads just below the surface.
If you miss a strike, throw the minnow back in the same place and try and try again. My brother actual lost his minnow earlier in the day, from a hard strike. However, when we came back through the same spot later in the day, he caught the pike that stole is his lure. When he brought the pike out of the water, there was his first Jonson Minnow hanging out of the other side of his jaw. You can't make this stuff up. A great fish story and I'm still telling it 50 years later.
When fishing shoreline with logs, downed trees, stumps, boulders, retrieve the lure so i just runs below the surface of the water. Deep enough so it doesn't leave a wake.
These lures are the best lures I have used to catch pike and pickerel. Are around dusk in the evening the hot action will keep you on your toes. Don't forget to keep those spoons nice and shinny with a decent silver polish at the end of each season. Bring EXTRAS! Because of the high action rate, you will lose some. Again, bring 3-4 extra lures and skirts.
Have fun. You will!!
Alan from NC
You guys have to be the cutest, funniest, most authentically cool couple ever.
I’m still laughing about the time a few videos back when Arielle tried to get on the deck before you put in the stairs. She got stuck, kinda like a beached whale, and desperately cried, “Eric.” Who came over and barely suppressing his laughter said, “I’m not sure what you want me to do here. Do you want to go up or back or what?”
And Arielle replied, “I don’t know.”
And now, “Eric. Think what you’re doing.”
“I’m just trying to live my life.”
That cabin turns you guys into a comedy duo. Thanks for taking us along. You guys make me smile more than anything or anyone I watch.
I feel your pain with the boat issues I'm in south louisiana and grew up on the bayou, life at times depended on our boat and they seemed to break down frequently. My dad would always say a boat owners favorite days are the day he buys his boat and the day he sells it.
If I were the envious type, I would envy you right now. Instead, I choose to be happy for you and appreciate you sharing your good life in Alaska with us. 🙏🏾
Holy hour long awesomeness!!! I love when content creators make videos like this I can really dive into and enjoy!!!
At our cabin, we save the coffee grinds for when we make coffee and spread them all around the cabin and deck. Has helped us a lot. Bears hate the scent. Have not had any bear sightings thus far!!
Gotta say you guys, Bandit and his water digging NEVER gets old.
Lol, I haven't even started watching. Just felt the need to say thanks when I saw the video length 🤩
😃😃me too😍
Same here!
I love the long vids
I did the same!
Same here! Lol
My favourite part is when beau snuggled up to Eric. Thanks for taking us on your trip.
A ONE HOUR SLA VID??? absolute treat for a monday afternoon.
Love watching your videos and y’all’s relationship. Also Bo is such a sweet old man, the way he puts his head on Erick is absolutely the sweetest thing 🥰
I love how you guys are with your dogs, they have the best life ever getting to run around in all that nature with you two
It's 6 p.m. in Texas here and I saw your download I was so excited and tell my husband stop I have to see them you two are so awesome and it really encourages me as a 56 year-old to work in my garden and just to enjoy life and but you two are doing it right God bless
It looks like the corners of your cabin are the areas of interest for the bears. Is it worth considering some right angled metal flashing for the corners, say 6" or so return down each side.
I was thinking that as well.
Thank you! Eric&Ariel... Love the hour long cabin video.... Your channel is better than anything on tv by a mile!! 👍🌲🏔
Well said Bruce my sediments exactly
I agree!
@@angiehorn3280 Yes indeed! 👍
So true! Absolutely appreciated!
@@lisasperle2981 Yes They put out awesome content!! 😊
Well my heart melted when Bo put his head on Eric’s chest. ❤️❤️❤️
an hour of you guys together on a trip in beautiful nature. like watching a super good movie. thank you!
When you guys were out on the lake.. like glass... I love a lake like that!! It totally brought relaxation to me, just to watch it/hear it against the boat..etc.. So awesome. I absolutely LOVE that you bring the boys out with you so they experience things and live full lives. I know it's a drag to pull out the camera, film, go get it, place it again, film, go get it again, etc. I can see it's A LOT of work but I think most of your viewers, including me, appreciate EVERY SINGLE SECOND of the effort you two put into your content.
Hands down, this is my FAVORITE channel on youtube. This Canadian thanks you!!!
🙏🏾🇨🇦👋🏾
What I love most about you guys is that you show your failures as well as your successes.
Even when Ariel put too much cake and yogurt in her mouth and had to take out a bit - well I loved the humanity and reality of it. Keep on keeping it real. Much love from a melting hot heat wave in tropical north Queensland, Australia.
"Zag is not a word? I wanna do something with my life!" Loved this video! I work in healthcare all day everyday with many hours of overtime...thank you for being that thing that I look forward to!!!
We did construction in ids tower in Minneapolis. The shape of building was frustrating to work. We called them Zogs
Thank you for your service in healthcare especially during a pandemic. ❤️⚕️
@@fonkapollo the carpet and cubicles were gone when we arrived. We demolished a whole floor in 2 sections. Ceiling tile, grid, those huge lights, all electric conduit, and air ducts. Then we enclosed the entire area in plastic, zogs and all. Then removed the asbestos on the beams and then power washed everything. All nights. One guy was the designated lunch cook. 2 refrigerators, Tesco's, microwaves and griddle . Crew of 30 to 40
Zag:
verb (used without object), zagged, zag·ging.
to move in one of the two directions followed in a zigzag course:
First we zigged, then we zagged, trying to avoid the bull.
Zag is a word .you need a scrabble dictionary
You guys certainly get an A plus for perseverance. With most things in life, half the fun is not the end goal but the challenge getting there. Absolutely stunning vistas from the plane. I also loved Eric’s comment about the chocolate mousse “it’s good, pause, it tastes like a chocolate power bar so it’s not good”. So funny!! Thanks for a great and lengthy video. Smiles from Canada
Thanks for sharing your experience. Living simple is pretty hard work but having these lovely dogs around, sure makes it that much more enjoyable.
Oh my goodness~ this is fantastic! I was so nervous for you guys when you said the river is low. But I am so happy for the plane trip! I love that you recorded the simple things like playing Scrabble, washing the dishes, and boarding up for winter. ♡ the outtakes at the end. A tip for Bo's motion sickness~ make him lay facing forward. Laying across the plane will make him sick. I found this out the hard way when transporting my dog across the city on busses. Thanks for the hour long video today~ made my morning the best in awhile. Will I be recording lectures later? No, probably just watching this again. 🤣 Thank you as always for your spectacular effort in videoing and editting. ♡ from Korea!
Arielle, speaking about how cozy the loft is, that it makes you want to hibernate, maybe that’s why the bear is trying to get in. Really enjoyed long video and trip to the cabin. Have a great week.
Oh my gosh...you have the most awesome dogs on the planet! They're absolutely wonderful on land, sea or in the air!
I love your videos so much. They're getting better even every one. And this week's 1hr video is a treat. Thank you for you hard work and sharing your life.
Coolest feeling ever- just went on a little walk in Colorado and stumbled upon some rose hips and knew what they were from watching this video. You guys make life a little more magical thank you always 💖✨
I absolutely love everything you guys put out. I discovered your channel about a year ago and have watched every single video that you have put out. You guys are inspiring and bring so much joy to the world. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
Loved every aspect of this one, the boat issues, the plane ,the basic cabin amenities, the
food description, the scenery , the camaraderie that Arielle & Eric share and of course the canine scenes. A miracle the pilot can find your lake amidst the many in Alaska....
You're videos aren't just videos. They are way to escape my reality
Hello! Eric & Arielle, 🤗💕🐕🐕🛩️⛵🐻🦫🦈🔥🫕🍜🙏👍. Glad to see you and the dogs are doing well. As usual, this was an awesome trip. I had a great time. I love the fall or spring best, because it's still a little cool, and no biting insects. The aerial video from the airplane is absolutely gorgeous, just like the videos you show from your drone. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures and way of life with me and many others. These adventures are extra special to many of us who are older and not physically able to do certain things anymore. You both are such hard workers and very knowledgeable and always willing to learn new things. Your channel is such a blessing to so many people. May God bless you both always...
I get an unexplainable feeling of peace when I watch your videos. Thank you for this and thank you for always taking the time to record the amazing vistas that you encounter. I come back again and again to see them. Please continue to put emphasis on the scenery and wildlife. You are both incredible people and a beautiful couple. My dream is to live your dream one day!
I love watching your vlogs! With all the stress out in the world, it brings me peace!
I really appreciate how you see the beauty in nature everywhere and share that with us! It’s obvious in the shots you get of plants and berries and vistas in general! Thank you for that 😉
Snow, pups, airplanes and beautiful Alaska!!! ❤️
The bloopers were just absolute gold☺️
Absolutely loved this adventure! It was like a movie. Thanks for taking us along on the plane ride and beautiful scenery. You guys rock!
I am so amazed at how chill the pups are on that plane!
Every time you guys pet your dogs, I reach over and pet my old dog. He's always by my side. I can't imagine a world without him. Envy you guys your cabin so much. I could sit out there by a fire and read or listen to music all day. A hammock would be nice too. Hope you get your boat fixed.
You have such amazing people following your adventures. I enjoy reading their comments. So positive and uplifting.
I agree these guys really bring out the best in people, I love to read the comments too and thank-you so much for your inspiring comment and God Bless..
What a great video after a long hard week. The boat adventure, the plane ride and just being at the cabin. Your videos are so therapeutic and I love that it was an hour. I’m so glad I found your TH-cam channel . You are touching so many lives. Please keep sharing.
Walked away from wall street twenty years ago and raised our six kids In Interior Alaska. It has been filled with much adventure. What I appreciate most about your two failed starts to get to the cabin is that it is so representative of the adaptability requried and how truly "it is not the destination it's the journey."
What a beautiful thing you've done for your children!!!
I love when you post long videos! I literally said “Nice!” out loud… by myself! lol I always make a snack because you guys make me hungry! Thanks again for taking the time to make these videos! They’re well done, and you guys are awesome!
i always like when Eric is cooking; how he pays attention to everything. And when Arielle is a little gooofy, makes me laugh.
You two are an adorable team! I love your adventures and your beautiful bond shines through it all. The love you share and how well you work together is admirable to say the least. Thank you for sharing your beautiful Alaskan journey with all of us. Really appreciate your hard work and your amazing job creating your videos. To Eric and Areial! Thank you!!!!!!

We live in Maysville and have been to Eureka Springs many times and yes, it is very quirky 😋
Eureka Custom Concrete,LLC. & James Couch im from Siloam Springs! Love all of yours & my area!! My grandson got married at Eureka recently!
@@vernareed2692 Oh wow! A trip to Eureka Springs is overdue. My wife has been battling cancer and recently had surgery but is on the mend and it's on our to-do list 😊
@@JamesCouch777 yes definitely time! Should be beautiful now! God bless you & your wife,& complete healing for wife quickly,in Jesus's Name!!
@@vernareed2692 thank you and blessings to you and yours!
As someone who's owned a boat for pretty much my whole life, engine issues or throttle issues seem to come up at the worst possible time. Glad you still made it out. :)
Your dogs follow you even on a plane !!Heartwarming to see how you take care of your animals! 👍👍
This is a wonderful video - I binged my way through your entire channel this year and it's honestly been a fantastic experience from start to finish. I even went back to re-watch the video of your arrival at the cabin and it's incredible how you transformed the place in so little time. You've been doing an amazing job of it and I have tons of respect for how self-sufficient you are. Keep up the great content!
Side note: Since you mentioned the rosehips, in Germany we use them for rosehip jam, which is the standard jam we put in jam-filled donuts... just in case you feel like baking anytime soon! ;-)
I just love your dogs. Such kind, sweet old gentlemen! Wonderful trip to the backcountry. The scenery and colors were incredible!
I would love to see a walk through of you getting your home set before you leave to head to the cabin? Do you have someone who takes care of your chickens or do you have an automatic feeder? What are some procedures you have in place to make sure you do not have to worry while you are away from home for a period of time.
Excellent question. I hope they answer
They told me before that they just leave out extra food and water.
yes... I was wondering about the cat, as well.
@@boymomx3OG our dream.
why would they want to put that type of information on Utube..
That's so cool! Bandit and Bo are so calm on the plane while flying.
Your Bandit looks like a Catahoula...good to see him do so well in Alaska...I am in Yukon and had a some doubt about bringing my Catahoulas up here when i moved but they also seem to be doing ok. I realy enjoy your videos and all the cooking, gardening and canning tips.
thank you for always taking us with you on all your adventures, it's new one every single day with you guys! loved the scrabble bits in this one.
love from iceland 🤍
Found your channel last year and I’ve binge watched all your videos and always wait for new uploads, your videos inspire. Love from Papua New Guinea ❤️
For me this video of your trip, was almost like me literally being there with you and I didn't want the experience to end so soon. This was an hour of intense awesomeness
Hey guys thanks for keeping it real. I have to tell you my attention span has taken another level watching your postings! No fast forwarding needed as to the editing on your end. Watched this twice😃. Hope the issues with your boat throttle assembly is minor? Can't wait for the next posting 👏👍!!!!
I always love your adventures out to the cabin. The educational nature of your channel is what keeps me coming back. Whether the homesteading at your property or your excursions to the cabin. Keep up the great content and I can't wait to find out what you discover from the information on the surveyor's marker.
Ariel you hit proverbial nail on the head, when you said that it is quiet 🤫at your remote cabin. It's great that you and Eric have that quiet place to go to.
Well what a wonderful trip, I so enjoyed being the in back seat with the pups watching out the windows. You live in such a wonderful place and I so much appreciate that you allow us to be there too. I think my favorite moment has to be Bo putting his head on Eric, the affection and love is so precious. And where did you get the mini scrabble set, so much fun! Thanks again!
Yup....I agree....that picture 📸 of Bo and Eric was a Christmas card perfection 🥰
So , how long will it be before Eric gets his pilots license. I've noticed most TH-camrs complain about planes flying over but he videos them in admiration
Its very expensive to get in that game- many many flight hours. might not be worth it.
From the look on Eric’s face, I can see a pilot’s license and a float plane in your future! 🤣
Maybe but then they would have to change the name of the channel to "Complicated and Expensive Living Alaska".
Yup
I just commented something very similar before reading the comments. It's pretty plain to see isn't it?
I was thinking the same thing! It would be so cool if they both learned to fly and got a float plane.
I loved the whole adventure. It reminded me of when my family would join my father in the forest when he had to spend the summer there. I loved so much. The thick quiet and the aroma other trees, sil fresh air. Loads of fun and stream fishing with my dad.
Eric is like Batman he can do anything..but his wife is the shit tho wish I had haft of her strengths .you guys are amazing, I’ve been up watching all of y’all videos for 2 days
Lifelong Alaskan, I love love love flying in a float plane (last trip was Halo Glacier area, Katmai to walk among the grizzlies). You guys took the dogs! Love that. Thank you for another really awesome vid. Tenacious. You are tenacious. Hope to meet you some day :)
Its so nice to see you using the good old Colman camp stove, they just always work and seem to run on anything when they need to
Your outtakes are hilarious! Good video guys.
What an adventure! And amazing footage--I'm so happy you share both your difficulties as well as your successes. It's pretty damn amazing. Sawing a tree is a crazy huge pain in the butt! so amazed that Eric just kills it. I loved the outtakes at the end, too :)
Okay okay!!! You guys absolutely are beyond amazing!!! 🥳 after this great video I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say "1hr videos from here on out!!" 😊🤣 not only do we all learn something knew but you inspire new recipes for me to try! Thank you both for being so awesome.
Just when I thought I'd be productive😄
Honestly I'm not mad. Thank you guys for taking time to edit this 1 hour long video. I'm sure I'm not the only 1 who appreciates it.
I just started my vacation today and 1hr of this was a real treat! Thank you
Yay for vacations! Hope its good.
Nice adventure with the float plane. Your cabin is really cool. I think you are going to get that big pike one of these trips. The new wood stove makes a cozy light. Thanks for the fun you provide,
If really big 40" broil, pieces and dip in melted butter like lobster
A cabin out in the true wilderness is so peaceful to be at,whether you catch fish or not , enjoying one's life is what counts, great video, God Bless.....
I so admire you two living for your life. And those 2 dogs, just make me smile all the time. They look like - yep just another day in the bush. So cute.... I wish you many more years of your beautiful lifestyle.
What a wonderful ending to the video! lol you guys are amazing folks and I can't thank you enough for sharing your life with us! It's a beauty!
Y'all actually relaxed! That may be the first time I've seen it! Heehee! Bandit was hoping for a vacation bog and Bo's hugs were the best! Peace ☮️ and love 💜 from Kimberly in South Dakota 💙❤️
Bears love to clean their claws on the corners of cabins. Some sheetmetal on corners slows it down
Also..hide your openings behind full sheets of plywood, they love to enter as a challenge...lol..we have had our first snow as well n temps
In20-30...high rockies of CO.
Water levels were super low in our neck of the woods also. I couldn’t hunt off my boat this year because of it and had to use the ATVs. Take care guys and stay warm, winters coming fast.
Great channel and the generosity of the people who live in Alaska is incredible. I have traveled there and find it very intriguing...a place where people care and men and women are real.
I’m telling you those dogs are so photogenic and precious. I just love watching them take everything in. Great stove and the cabin are just great! You two are brave tasting those 20 plus year old food. I would like to try it, too!🙏🏼❣️♥️❣️🙏🏼
You guys spoiled us with this one.. pretty sure every one wants hour long vids now.. hahahaa love it
Your videos always brighten my day. I so admire your work ethic, your teamwork, and your resourcefulness. God bless all of you. (Poor Pepper, she never gets to see the cabin.)
I spent my younger years in Alaska, Fairbanks and Eagle River areas. I’m in grad school now and can’t wait to have the opportunity to move to Alaska and try my hand at off grid living. I’m a single mom so I worried about my son having just turned 2 when I got bachelors in the spring of 2021. By the time I graduate with my PhD, I’ll be around 30 and he’ll be around 8, which should be easier to manage a schedule and task delegation. I haven’t found any channels with single parents living off grid, thus far, this channel seems to be the most practical. Thank you for sharing knowledge, both failures and success in off grid living. Found your channel and fell in love during the start of the pandemic in 2020 while searching for content that was wholesome and reminded me of better times in my life. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for taking us along on a beautiful trip! Fighting thru all the obstacles and sill plugging through!
I'm not gonna lie. I missed Eric saying, "I'm not gonna lie," on this one! Still a great video!
That bear was looking for _'JUST THE RIGHT BED'_ to sleep in. Sort of a role reversal of _'Goldilocks'._ 🤣
You guys need a float plane!
Thank you so much for taking us along for that great adventure. And for making a cup of coffee look so dang delicious! ❤️ (Oh, zag is a word in the scrabble dictionary. Lol.)
Made myself a coffee when I saw that
Did anyoe else thought that this was the plot for a terror movie? You know, the nice young couple that goes to a woods cabin and cannot get back because the river froze! Lol! I was worried of all the effort it took for you to get there, but finally you did it as always, and got to live different experiences and took us with you.
Absolutely love your videos!! One of the top 10 channels on off grid content !! ❤️
Wow!!!! This one was special. We knew a prospector who made jam with those high bush cranberries. The jam had a strong flavor but delicious and tart. Loved it. Thank you for this adventure. So enjoyed the plane trip too. Oh ,man, the whole video!!!!. Karen from Canada
Being at the cabin in the peace and quiet just looks so heavenly, I'd give anything to just disconnect and go away to a remote cabin for a few days. Love the videos, was so excited to see another cabin visit video!
These cabin "vacation" videos are for sure my favorite. It's so fun to see you guys just having fun and relaxing and being goofy and sweet. On another note, Eric needs to keep that beard for a while because damn. Handsome man!
Love seeing your way of living. So peaceful but hard working. Love from Denmark 🇩🇰
Miss Alaska sooooooooooo much. Awesome to see the natural beauty the state has to offer. Thank you for these videos.
