- We get right to work cutting in the driveway to our new shop! With daylight on our side, we complete both the road and the pad for the Quonset Hut. We celebrate this first step of many, along with recent hatching of baby chicks with our first outdoor campfire at the property.
We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀
Thank you for watching and supporting our channel! 💙

I'm retired and one of my favorite things to do is sit on my couch and watch you two work. You do a great job. One of my other favorite things to do is watch Bo, Bandit, Pepper, and the chicks lovin life. Thank you.
I agree!
The same here it make`s my day seeing the fur babies and feathered friends
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Me too, love these guys
I was worried. It's good to see Bo again😂
Same ! He looks just like my childhood dog 😅
Me too!
Me three
He looks so sweet 😊
Me too!
Branson should be paying you guys for showing off the equipment. What a unit! Great work guys, can’t wait to see what lies ahead
Branson doesn't exist anymore. Branson tractors were actually made by Kukje of South Korea. Kukje was purchased a few years ago by TYM another Korean tractor manufacturer.
Two of the hardest workers around. In no time the homestead is growing. Love seeing Bo, Bandit and Pepper. The chicks are adorable with all different colors.
I really admire the both of you because you use your brains by investigating the project, then putting the man hours into it. Great job!
You guys are having too much fun and I love it.😊
Try some witch hazel and a citrus oil mixed and spray it on yourself. Mesquitos do not like citrus.❤
Love watching you two work together! You have such a wide expanse of knowledge. The little baby chicks are so adorable. That’s so exciting. Loved seeing your moose. Do your dogs chase them? Your pizza looked amazing. Love your channel. Your new property is awesome!
It would be awesome to be their neighbors.
Your channel keeps getting better and better!!!
From the editing to the content....yall are gaining so much knowledge coupled with common sense, makes it work. You both make a great team and I'm totally stoked to watch your progress!
Ariel’s video work is phenomenal!! It’s like watching National Geographic some videos.
We are going to need a nice long video just watching all of the new chicks. They look amazing.
Totally agree! I love little chicks! That black and yellow one was so adorable!
I've said it before and I'll say it again. You two blow my mind! Two of the hardest workers i know. It's like you both run on batteries that have constant full charge.😊 Awesome tractor work. And that pizza? OMG 🍕.
So look forward to your vids. Love that they pop up outside of the weekends. So much work plus new chicks and Pizza! Love seeing the moose, it is amazing to see how they seem to strip the leaves so delicately given they are such huge animals. Bo and Bandit seem to have settled so well into your new place. They almost seem more relaxed and playful despite all the work going on around them. The vid time seems to go by so quickly sadly, dont want them to end. 😀
Looks great guys. Make sure you think of water around the shop pad. Make sure it has a couple trenches for it to run away.
The opening montage was so fun! Love seeing all the creatures just vibing. Such a nice distraction from scholarship stress lol. That Branson is an absolute BEAST. I love all the Peppi shots we got this video! Beautiful shots of the bees. BABIES, they're so cute I could just eat them up like that decedent looking pizza!
Hi Arielle & Eric , I am an 80 year old wife/ mother / grandmother and I look forward to and thoroughly enjoy your videos … I admire your work ethic , your devotion to each other and to your fur babies … thank you for keeping me entertained , hugs from Canada 🍁
Yes grandma . Hard to find the devotion these days .
Thank you so much!
Eu também vovó, aqui no Brazil amo ver esses dois amorecos, como trabalham bem e tudo sabem fazer❤❤
Looks like all creatures and humans are having fun and enjoying the sunlight ... brings back memories 😊❤
You have so much more potential now with that new land. You’ve come a long way. Looking forward to the shop build.
The Branson is a absolute beast. What a game changer for your homestead. 😊Awesome job!
I've waited along time for Eric to say his arms hurt. He works so hard and so long and Arielle does to. You are both inspirational. Loved seeing the cat.
Will the gravel pit become the new root cellar eventually? It must be so nice to have so much space after the limitations of your previous property. Love seeing it all take shape!
i was thinking the same. That pit shouldn't fill up with water, should it? Your food always look so good.
They have a crawl space, I think they could use that as a root cellar. 👍
@@TheoriginalANGEK439I think they were leaning towards using the crawl space that way.
Since they use the insulated crawlspace as a root cellar, im thinking that pit could be turned into a sunken geothermal greenhouse.
Hey, what a great way to recycle that hole.
Can we say “yes” to seeing the cooking come back?!! Great job on using and taking care of your Branson!! Ariel your videography is so beautiful! ❤❤
hello we love your videos. my family talked with you at the home-depot parking lot. they was so excited to meet you. you guys have inspired us to be more self sufficient. much love
Awesome! Thanks guys keep up the good work :)
After watching you both work on the property, I have to take a rest. You folks are doing an awesome job and your videos are super. Thank for sharing.💥👍👌🐔🐣🐱🐈⬛🦋🦟🐝🌼🍕🥚🚜🌩
You are so much fun to watch! Love the little multi-colored chicks. And your new place is the best! When I lived in Alaska, the bugs were jokingly referred to as the state bird! Thanks again for sharing! You are remarkable!
It was good to see even Beau out hanging with the family. ❤❤
Great to see Bo again and Bandit just chilling on his outside bed was awesome. Pepper and the chicks and bees all look so happy (if you can tell a bee is happy). I am worn out but you go so much accomplished. I love the arial views. Double yum to that pizza.
As an over the road flatbed driver I say great job securing the foam load!
I don't believe that I am subscribed to a more enjoyable TH-cam channel than this one. Thank you both for your dedication to making this channel such a good and consistent view of huge part of so many of the things that you do in your life in Alaska.
You two are doing an amazing job. Love watching everything come together. So good to see Bo today. Thank you for taking us along. Looking forward to future videos. Take care. Make sure to get some rest. ✌️🇺🇸❤️
The editing of this video was just a masterpiece. So entertaining and beautiful. We enjoyed it immensely.
Eric, you are an inspiration to tractor owners everywhere! Both of you continue to inspire so many of us beyond words! Thank you for being the amazing people that you are! Be safe as you continue on your many adventures!!
Thank you!
I have never seen two people more compatible than you guys. Thanks for starting this weekend off with positive energy!👍🌲
All that soil your moving can be the future garden 😊 you two are my favorite you tube channel #1🎉
You two are having to much fun. Eric loving his tractor, Arielle watching the chicks hatching.
Nice having your own gravel. Looking forward to the next chapter of your build.
And the pizza look delicious.
Blessings to you both. 😊🇺🇲
Another beautiful video of summer at your new property.Tractor is playing vital role in developing your new place.keep working, cooking, eating, fishing, hunting, camping, canning, gardening and smiling.
Glad you’re getting the sun for your projects. It’s been raining in the Anchorage bowl. I love the professional brush trimmer (moose) you have coming in.
What an amazing job you are doing. So excited to see future projects.
The new chicks are so cute. When you had the one just breaking out the mama looked like, hey put that back. You both work so hard and you take care of Bo, Bandit and Pepper. That’s why I watch.
This is by far my favorite channel on TH-cam and I have watched every video multiple times. Your videos have such beautiful cinematography mixed with interesting and varied content. There is something quite compelling about the joy and enthusiasm both of you display in regards to living a simple and authentic way of life which most people will never be fortunate enough to experience.
Thank you so much 😀
@@SimpleLivingAlaskathe poster is 100% right 😊👍👋❤
I luv watching you guys!!! This property is providing so many of your needs, it fun watching you pull it together. I also luv your camera and editing. I look forward to your posts every week.
I am always amazed at the research and quality of work you both put into everything you create. I enjoy your videos and find this aspect of your new move the most interesting. Carry on!
In Minnesota, such sheet metal huts have been crushed by ice and snow and blown down. An interior truss arch system of your own lumber could reinforce the steel exoskeleton and optionally support insulation and interior sheeting.
Stronger than a pole barn wind and snow loads if it's bolted down properly.
@@robertfandel9442 Pole Barn specifications vary on snow load and wind load etc so that is not a definitive statement, some fail and some don't.
The end walls will support and shape the form of the structure. The sheet metal sections have built-in flexibility that must be constrained over a long 60-foot span and the combination of straight and curved panels weakens the integrity of the arch's 40-foot span. Wind could put everything in motion, and snow drifts are irregular, not a good thing. I can't help but love your creativity and adventurous spirit but be careful on this one.
The shop is going to be one of the best things y’all could ever do for your future use, storage and keeping your equipment from deteriorating in the weather and freezing! Your dreams are coming true and y’all deserve them all. Love the chicks, and the pizza party to celebrate. Be well and safe and much love to all ❤🎉. Can’t wait to see your next video!
That picture of Bo on the mug absolutely cracked me up! And those baby chicks were adorable!
You guys are making big strides and it's amazing to see this property slowly take shape - by the time you're done adding all these extra buildings (shelter for the saw mill and the shop and I assume maybe a separate garage or something + high tunnel or greenhouse), it will look like a little village from above! Also, what a difference this new place makes just in terms of the ground! I remember when you had to get gravel delivered to your old property because it was a muddy wasteland half the year and now you just have your own gravel right there. I'm excited to see where this goes and really looking forward to seeing your Quonset hut build. It sounds massive!
I’m beginning to think all this construction is just so Eric can use the tractor!
Of course I’m kidding. It’s all so amazing and inspiring. Love your video days❤️
That intro was 10/10, teared up at Bandit, Pepper, and Bo. So cute
You are absolutely brilliant. Your commitment to each other and the projects you work so hard on renews my confidence in humanity.
What a treat to wake up to in Australia ! Love this journey so much ! Good job guys thanks for bringing us with you !
You’d think I grew up on the frontier by the way I look forward to your videos! Excellent, as always. And, as a food lover, I always enjoy when you guys cook.
Always enjoy seeing Pepper, Bandit and Beau. Beau seems to enjoy the warmer weather. The baby chicks are sooooo cute.
You are my favorite couple to watch I am a construction carpenter/millwright/plumber/electrician/cabinet builder and I appreciate watching all that you do I’m 67 now If I was your age I would Love to do what you do You are a great inspiration to folks A lot of folks have your dreams but lack the funds Congratulation on achieving what your heart desires WITH a lot of hard work🤙🏻🙏🏼❤️🤠
Tip of the day, when dealing with a thick fluid like hydraulic start your pour with the spout at the top and gradually roll the bucket down as your fluid drains, you won’t have the gurgling. Hope that helps.
Neat tip.
Either that, or if you are using the full contents of the can, make a hole in the can top opposite the the spout, it will introduce air, it 'glugs' as the air that is trying to replace fluid through one aperture, which is why it glugs, also then the fluid will empty in half the time.
Loved the opening sequence guys!!! The homestead is really coming along. You have terrific ideas, a great work ethic and clearly are loving life! Hugs and cuddles to Bo, Bandit, Pepper and give some extra greens to the flock. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
You both are so industrious. I am always in awe of how well you work together towards your goals. Thank you for sharing your adventures here on TH-cam. I get excited when I am notified Simple Living Alaska has posted a new video!
Next-level editing, guys! Loved the music, the photography, the everything. Thanks for letting us into your world.
Seeing those Chicks reminds Me of learning how quickly they go from Egg to fully grown Bird. Love those broody Hens. Great video, thanx for sharing.😃
Great work as a team again! The tractor is a workhorse! Broody hens and chick always make me smile.
Thank you for demonstrating regular, routine and required maintenance of your equipment!! We all need to normalize and show love to our gear [read: investments] and get friends/family involved on the processes and importance of respecting the things we have so that each piece can last us as long as possible!
the intro song mixed with your editing was perfect! *chefs kiss*
You're getting the full value and more of the tractor, and with the purchase of those 40foot longlogs, the work you will achieve this summer will be immense. Makes for longer, greater videos for us!
just started watching but wanted to say your editing is great and the Matte of summer and your edits with music top notch. Great Job A!
You two have to be one of the best couples I've ever seen. You two have something I was looking for all of my life I'm a 65 year old disabled man who always wanted to do what y'all are doing but unfortunately I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and COPD. Also the women that I have in my I had in my would never have done what y'all were doing. Consider yourselves lucky to have found each other and work out so well I'm glad I came across your
Love that independant black cat!!
The drone shots of shed drive really gives a nice perspective.
Was getting worried that you were going to make a video without making me hungry. You never fail me. The pizza looked great. You are making great strides. Hope you can get a bunch done before snow flies. Be safe. Till next time..
Arielle is always working and active. A very hard working lady
Enjoyed the drive-by of Eielson AFB (mile 26 Alcan). I spent 18 months there in 1967-68 -- memories.
Your both doing great job on your new property,can't wait to see your new shop,will be so nice in the winter to work inside.
Some excellent footage and great editing ! Exiting project too. You guys rock ❤
I really enjoy your diary of living in Alaska....you're living my dream of 45 years ago! LOL I decided, much to my dismay, to join a big company in Seattle. Sometimes we don't understand the mistakes we made until we're down the road a few years later. Regardless of my failures, your endeavor's thrill my heart. Enjoy your journey, keep memories for your grandchildren when they show up! 😉
You guys are simply amazing!!! Every week, I cant wait for a new video, cuz I know about every 4-5 days there will be a new adventure with you guys!!! Love you, and love all you keep doing to improve your new space, even though I was sad when you were leaving your old space!!
Superb progress, looking good. Chickens look very happy indeed. Proper maintenance on the beast too. You are putting the prep work in to buy yourselves a richly deserved better outcome than most. Loved the "summer" graphic mask too. A joy to watch. Be well all.😉
You guys are such hard workers! It was good to see Bo. I love your videos! Can't wait until the next one.
Yeah get on with the build, hurry up you two, chop chop!
Can't wait to see this structure built
Eric, your editing was AWESOME! You really have a gift for filming and editing. I am always so impressed with the quality of your videos.
Y’all did such a great job on the driveway and pad. Thanks for sharing your life. And that pizza looked amazing!!!!
Nice shot of the dark-eyed junco at 8:32.
Maybe Ariel can plant flowers along the edge of the drive later bring in more bees
My favorite channel always excited for new videos!
40 acres… what a dream. I have about 3 3/4 acres… the possibility is endless! So excited to see the result! OMG those little 🐣!!!
FYI That clear used hyd fluid is good for treating wood, I did my deck trailer several coats.
I love your videos they go by so fast, even though they’re quite long videos it’s like a blink of an eye. You guys are rocking it all the time.❤
The shop adventure begins! Definitely a lot of work ahead of you, but how amazing it will be when finished! So much room for storage, project work space and so much more ❤❤

Prince Eric and Arielle..that's hilarious. I never realized it till now 😆

Looks like the hole of your gravel pit could someday be your root cellar😊
My favorite videos without question
Good Morning. That tractor you guys bought has been so much help. Your goals all look so doable now. What a team you are. God bless and keep the videos coming.
In floor heating. That was a surprise : )
