Your videos are a perfect blend of education, entertainment, and inspiration, and I look forward to each and every new adventure you share. Your content has taught me so much and has been a source of joy and motivation in my own life. The way you present your experiences and the beautiful Alaskan landscape is truly captivating. Thank you for all the hard work you put into creating such wonderful videos. Keep up the amazing work-I can't wait to see what you have in store next!
Your channel is by far the best on TH-cam. Love to watch what ever you folks are doing. Cooking, fishing, hunting, Canning, even building. Plus the chickens.
I wish I could live in a place like this when I retire. Every morning, I can hear the chickens crowing, feed them and pick up eggs. In addition, there are a few more farm animals such as goats, sheep and possibly a dog and cat.
Thank you for sharing a small piece of your amazing life with me. You’ve inspired me to take up gardening and cooking. You two have such a zest for life. 😍
Arial, the jelly's look delicious and beautiful as does Eric's pickled pike. Your dishes are phenomenal. The salad looks so refreshing, farm to table. Well done guys. You are not surviving, you are thriving!
21:41 Holy moly, look at that color. Beautiful salmon. Also, I saw Eric take the skin off, which I personally think is the best part. You can just put those in a pan until they become crispy and delicious. Adds a great crunch
You guys are our favorite TH-cam channel, we grab our coffee and a snack every time we see a new video launch! Thank you for taking us with you on fishing trips and harvesting the spruce tips and all the wild grown goodies! Thank you!
I remember making apple jelly from the peels leftover from canning apples and applesauce. My grandmother was great at using everything to it's full potential. Growing up during the depression made quite an impact.
Ceviche is AWESOME! I have made it with fish and also shrimp! One tip I Iearned is soak your seafood in a separate batch of citrus juice, once it is "cooked", drain it, then mix the seafood in with the other ingredients with fresh citrus juice. This cuts down a bit of the bitter taste and makes it way more fresh tasting. Some Mexican recipes use octopus or calamari. Love the video! You two are so awesome! Your videos are so relaxing they are like free therapy for me! Keep up the great work!
Cooking and preserving wild foods like fresh salmon and pickled pike in Alaska truly highlights your connection to nature and resourcefulness. Your dedication to preserving these flavors and traditions is both admirable and inspiring. And I am Floating Village Life.
You are living as we were all meant to live - eating fresh self obtained food in a large variety with only food used no additives. I try so hard to imagine what it tastes like and all I can come up with is FRESH CLEAN TASTY. I'm so happy for you.
Thank You for the wonderful lesson in cooking and preserving. Reminds me of the time when I would help my maternal grandmother canning and pickling fruits and greens and veggies of all types. Having those homemade items in the middle of winter sure was awesome.
❤❤❤I’ve been saying this a lot lately, but I can’t help it, y’all are doing the traditions that we just love watching! ❤ It just feels like home watching y’all process the fish you caught, gathering things from nature or things you planted and then canning it and cooking it and then eating it. I could watch this every day! I think many of us who watch you long to live off the land and just seeing you go out in nature and gather all this amazing food and spices and then make amazing meals out of it, it’s just so exciting and refreshing to see! I still can’t believe how easy y’all make it seem! And it seems so fun! I know y’all work very very hard but we can see that you are living a joyful & peaceful life! 🙏🏼🕊️☀️🙌🏼 I hope you never change for the audience! I hope you stay true to what you love doing and just keep being your same wonderful selves because that’s what we love to see! We don’t need to be entertained… we just enjoy watching this lovely couple living life to the fullest!!❤ seriously, you guys are awesome! I pray that God Will continue to bless you in all that you do!❤🙏🏼🕊️☀️❤️
The bee on the stem shot was awesome. It's so cool that the time you spent at your first cabin was for learning and the time at your new cabin is for expanding that knowledge. You don't have to struggle so much processing your food as the equipment is all set up in one place outside. You have electric, water, space, and fresh air. I really enjoy watching and learning from you. Thank you
thx so much for the garden scenes Arielle.i really love it when u r in their talking about ur plants bc u have so many,and that in itself is pretty awesome that u and Eric take care of so many.
I love how productive your new property is in the garden and the wild plants, your jellies look amazing and I love how imaginative you are when making a meal ❤
WOW, you guys have it goin on!, as a hunter and fisherman that is why I started watching, but your knowledge of foraging, preserving and cooking game, vegetables and wild stuff is becoming more important to me. Keep it up.
I just got done with schoolwork for the day. Im totally burned out on school but i trudged through today. I turned on the TV hoping there would be a new Simple Living Alaska video. There was, so i did a little happy dance! You guys are so great to watch. You aspire me to work harder. I love to watch your adventures and projects. Your food videos always make me hungry. I always look forever to a new video from your channel!
this shot of the pines up so high and reflected in the evening light makes it look like the tops of the trees r floating in the sky,way to go Arielle,its so cool looking,thx.
Yes, I've had ceviche. Many times. Fish, shrimp, octopus. Really good stuff. You always make such great meals but today, for some reason, it felt like you hit it out of the park! I was dying with envy - the food and jellies and pickled pike and everything else looked so delicious. I chuckled when Eric said the garden and property are "coming along". That's the understatement of the year. Your property and garden is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
Oh my, I am so jealous of your garden right now. And this is only the first season.. Those amazing greens, I would love to taste them. My grandparents had a garden and I so miss tasting all the seasonal good veggies. I am stuck in city life for now and I really miss homegrown, superfresh veggies. There is nothing like it. No matter how fresh the supermarket says it is, its not the same.
Your garden is amazing. Such a selection of goodies. I do love fish but I tend not to buy them. Many, many years ago, I was fishing at the Whiskey town lake and I caught a big Dolly Varden. I don't remember us eating it but we must have. It was on my first cast . Don't remember what I was using for bait. Oh, that is a good memory of a catch. I'd like to gather leaves for a tea someday. Thanks so much for your visit.
The Pike: Really good to hear about those desolving bones. I like too, that you don't put much sugar in. Nice to hear about the flower tea, along with lemon juice tip. I loved Ariel feeding fish bones to the chickens. If I have time I always watch them eat stuff like that, it's so satisfying!
A day that brings a new video form you guys is always a good day. I look forward to them every week. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful life with us.
Glad you learned how to debone a pike. Several different methods but they all work and the best thing is you can eat them without fear of getting a bone caught in your throat. Finally pickled pike is amazing!
I love your videos,look forward to seeing them as soon as they come out, I love watching you two on your adventures together,and the scenery in ALASKA is amazing. Thank you very much.
Just a suggestion to save your back while working over your fold up table. Add some small pcs of either plastic or steel pipe that are about 12” long to the legs of the table. It will bump the height of the table up and makes it so much easier on your back! Love your videos!
I love to watch you work together so harmoniously you really show a lot just in this, plus all the other amazing things you share. Your home loves you I can see, and it's no wonder!
Great episode! Canning, fried fish, fresh salmon, fresh salad, jelly making, outstanding scenery, sleepy chicks, explosive garden plants! Everything is looking healthy and happy. You even have peppers getting ready to harvest.
Thank God I finally found you guys again. Thank you for all those tips on survival methods that you take to store away for extreme cold times. Stay safe. Amen
I love it when you guys make a meal. I have always told my daughters when we sat at the dinner table that we were eating like kings and queens. So blessed! Now my grand children will say when I ask them. What are we eating like? kings and queens! Thank you guys for sharing your life and adventures.
Awesome video. I will be having visions of all the wonderful food you will be eating now and during the winter. The jelly, the teas, the cerviche, the pickeled pike, the syrups, there is so much. I will have to watch this one many times. It looked so delish! All your work in the garden really paid off. The salad with the salmon, so fresh and beautiful. Truly wonderful, start to finish. Thanks for all your efforts.
Awesome dishes from your fishing trip and the harvest from your garden. Makes everything taste super good when you catch and grow your own. Thanks for sharing the video 👍
I'm extremely impressed with your raised bed vegetable garden and the produce that you are already harvesting by mid-July. Your dedicated efforts to get it started paid back double-folded indeed.
I find the music with the beautiful shots of animals, insects and scenery so relaxing. Also love watching you live our dream life. And it pays you a living….bonus for all of us!
I just keep checking every day after day 5 to see if there is a new video from you two! Love the garden and all the things you build and work on! Your lives are so busy but in such a delightful way!!! Life!! Enjoy it!!! Thank you for sharing!!
Good to see my favorite couple again. Looks like a busy days ahead getting ready for winter. makes me hungrey watching you preparing food. I know you two will get the job done.😊❤❤👍👍🙏in my prayers to get all done without any problems.
You guys are just too cute!! I love each and every video you put out, there is so much going on in them! I especially enjoy when you are cooking outside! And when you can different things. We did a lot of canning when I was young and remember going to sleep at night listening and hearing the jars ping! It was a good feeling.
The low-angle shot of Arielle harvesting, so beautiful : ) Living the dream. I know you two work insanely hard, but you absolutely reap the benefits too. I'm in awe and envious and am pretty certain I could not do what you do! Kudos and bravo.
I’ve had ceviche made with tilapia and ceviche made with shrimp 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋 I hope you have a garden tour soon. I really enjoy that. Very peaceful. Take care guys and stay safe.
I just love your relationship. I know we only see the pieces you show us, but I don't think you can fake that kind of connection. It's really sweet.
I agree. Ariel is the most loving person.
Live together Love together Play together. That’s strength..
❤

I wonder if y'all understand how much joy you bring us when you drop a video. Thank you. Thank you.
Definitely always a treat❗️💛💚
Loved the tender hug at the end.
So cute. "Fofice" (portuguese).

I came for the salmon but stayed for the pickled pike and that rose/blueberry jelly. 🤪👍👍👍👍👍😎🇨🇦
So nice to see the video's from the garden again. I can't wait to see all that is harvested over the summer.
Ariel you are a cinematographer! Pure bliss watching your intros!
I wish I could live in a place like this when I retire. Every morning, I can hear the chickens crowing, feed them and pick up eggs. In addition, there are a few more farm animals such as goats, sheep and possibly a dog and cat.
You can do it!
Rough week in my life this past week, but you two always show me there is always hope for the future.
😂😂😂…” what am I saying “…I love how authentic y’all are
I got a chuckle from that as well. Still smiling as I type this.

crispy salmon skin is the best!
Yeah i wonder why they took the skin off
@@huntakilla1234 , Many times I’ve seen them cook the skin and eat it separately! They know!! 🤩

I love these preserving / jarring / canning videos by y'all... Keep up the great work - never stop improving!
Ariel and Eric. I have watched your video's for three to four years now. And you too are quite a team. Thank you.....
They are really a great team
Your garden looks Awesome. loved all the preparation of dishes you made and the canning. Had it and loved it. Great video once again!
Sure, Miss seeing Bo staying close to his momma and protecting her while she's working in the garden .

Wow great jellies and recipes. Loved them all. Eric made bandit a Norwegian ridgeback. Lol . Can't wait to see a tour of the garden
It is cool how you 2 went there and studied the Plants around you for their usefulness.
You could hear the freshness of the lettuce when you were picking them. Enjoy all your hard work with great meals. Charles Dowding is a legend ❤
I love how you care for your fur baby's we all enjoy both of you so very much. I know Jesus is watching over you both

I actually was thinking the same thing while watching. What a change from the first cabin - I've enjoyed every moment of it.
I'm 69 years old, and back in the 50s/60s, my brother and I used to dig the dandelions up in our grandparents' yard, and they would make wine with it
It sure is nice to see all the good food.
Your garden looks terrific!
thx so much for the garden scenes Arielle.i really love it when u r in their talking about ur plants bc u have so many,and that in itself is pretty awesome that u and Eric take care of so many.
I love how productive your new property is in the garden and the wild plants, your jellies look amazing and I love how imaginative you are when making a meal ❤
You know the chickens loved the rest of the pike 🤤
Man, garden is kicking!
WOW, you guys have it goin on!, as a hunter and fisherman that is why I started watching, but your knowledge of foraging, preserving and cooking game, vegetables and wild stuff is becoming more important to me. Keep it up.
I cracked up when I saw the little rocks lined up on Bandit's back!! Wonderful video, as always :).
I love that you guys try different recipes from different parts of the world. I especially love the cooking episodes!
No wonder your channel is so popular you never fail to impress us with your content

Yea! Thank you so much for sharing! Your amazing ! God bless you!
There is nothing like fresh fish - SO much better than any frozen or store bought- your salmon looks so yummy!

Simply the best summertime outdoor cookin' and eatin' show on the Tube!!😎
It's so cool that you can harvest so many things that just grow wild on your property! That ceviche looked amazing as well!
We had some of that Merlot lettuce as part of a lettuce seed mix this year, it is a crazy colour and texture - very cool addition to green salads.
