That opening was amazing. Seeing the beauty of Alaska is awe-inspiring. Thank you for letting those of us not lucky enough to live there see the magnificent natural beauty of your home.
I usually play solitare on my phone while watching most videos, your comment got my attention, you are so right. This intro was absolutely amazing! Thank you!
Can’t wait for the next video, does anyone else feel the same way!!!! I love the way they make you feel like your right there with them. Any great video guys!
Seriously, the Alaskan tourist board should be taking you on the payroll. Your openings are always superb but this is exceptional by any standards. Your choice of music just underpins the photography so well too. What talents the two of you have.
"Eric!!! You are just wild!!!" "What else would I do?" Aside from your hard work and creativity your manner toward each other is truly heart warming. The kindness and respect you share is invaluable. Your channel is the antidote for so much of the bs in the world. My thanks.
155 million views in 5 years is incredible!!! I have followed your channel since it began and haven't missed an episode. YT channels have been my only "TV" since 2012 and have subbed to many over the years. I've seen a lot come and go, sell out, or just up and quit, but your channel has only gotten better and better. Thank you for sharing your journey with us and teaching me so many things. It's helped me live a more self-sufficent and self-reliant life and ditch the old 9-5. I'm sure many of your subs can say the same! Oh, and thank you for not marketing AG-1 😂
WOW WOW WOW. Your opening montage is film-worthy. Absolutely brilliantly shot and edited. Oh, and the fish ain’t bad either! Gosh you guys have come a long way forward in everything you do. Much applause to you both from Australia. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇦🇺🦘
Arielle & Eric, you sure know how to live! Thanks for taking us with! You deserved a break from building… Everyone of your critters share in your bounty! Have an awesome week! 💞
If the Alaskan board of tourism doesn't try to buy the opening footage of this video they are missing out. This was beautiful! And the music was exceptional!
I'm not a fish person, but EVERYTHING you two make, looks like it's the most delicious thing out there, to eat! Congrats! On catching that monster King Salmon! That would have been one I'd consider to have mounted, to add to your home decor, next to your deer!! I laughed out loud, when Eric said the backpack felt like he was carrying a 10-year old child!! You make all your videos so much fun to watch!
Kids, this was by far one of my most favorite vlogs of yours! When Eric pulled up that big king salmon, I was shouting, " Don't drop him." She was huge! Thanka for taking us along.😊😊😊
Love your annual fishing vlogs. Just wonderful to see nature at its best. Your excitement is really fun to watch. That Copper River is ferocious. Living vicariously through you. Stay safe. ❤
I love this couple...they are so hard working, loving, thoughtful and respectful of each other. The scenery and wildlife are a bonus. I never miss a video.
I live in California and last month, I finally had a chance to visit Alaska and had a great time. I now have a better understanding and appreciation for this beautiful State and its people. Thank you for sharing your videos 😍
I'm chair bound, and watch a lot of utube. I have to say your channel is the best. Enjoy everything you guys do. You do everything i likr to do and watch. Thanks. Hope the vegetables and fruit trees do well.
I love seeing how much you two care for and love your dogs. Today I had to put down my 13 year old collie cross, Juno. She had invasive breast cancer. I'm heart broken. Your video has brightened my day. Thank you!
I so love watching you guys. Your joy is infectious. Your love and respect for one another and nature is palpable. You are so blessed to live that life while you are young!
When it comes to watching Alaskan homesteading, you two are the only ones we watch 100%. Never miss one of your videos. Truly inspiring footage of the scenery there. So happy your trip was successful. Got to fill those freezers. Please be safe. Till next time..
Look how far you guys have come!!! Isn't this the fishing trip where the first time you went you walked in and about died walking out with your fish? Love you guys!
This is probably my favorite place on earth! Congrats for doing so well! Could you tell me what knife brand Eric used to clean those fish with?? Or is it a custom knife? Thanks!
@@SimpleLivingAlaska I was on the edge of my chair through out the whole video! Remembering the ride you got and were so thankful. Also how dangerous that looked where you were fishing, and to carry up those heavy fish it wasn't easy. Thank goodness you found a better way this year.
Really great photography. For us that will never have the opportunity to go there in person, we really appreciate that. Ya'll had so much fun and so did the animals. Thanks for sharing. We love the videos 🌻💙🙏🇺🇸
That was a great trip. I am so glad you shared all of your adventures with us. Beautiful scenery. You are so lucky to live in such a magnificent place. Keep the videos coming. ❤❤😊
I've never watched fishing like that before. It seemed dangerous. So glad to see you guys had some kind of harness used on your selfs. What an adventure, and you were successful. You guys are pros!
Thanks so much for this. My absolute favorite videos from you two. I am so jealous of you being able to do this as residents and able to keep so many for yourselves and the dogs and chickens. You edit these videos so beautifully as well! I absolutely love eating salmon.
Oh my goodness!! That intro is amazingly awesome!! Whoever is editing is very talented! Your videos are so good that every single one pulls you in, front row seat, and keeps you there for awhile! Thank you for bringing us along in your adventures! I really look forward in seeing your next one! ❤️❤️.
I think I can speak for most folks who watch you guys but we LOVE watching all your videos, but it was nice to see a fishing video again and then the processing.
Those opening shots were awe-inspiring. Alaska is simply gorgeous - thank you for sharing it with us! Congrats on the successful dipnetting and that MASSIVE salmon in particular. What a beast! I also love that absolutely nothing goes to waste with you - you just find a use for everything, be it for yourselves or for your dogs and chickens. Looking forward to the next adventure already!
It’s so beautiful how untouched this native land where I live is💚 my ancestors have lived here forever and when I see videography like this it always makes me wonder how they lived and survived this beautiful but wild land. 💚 beautiful as always
I like your channel. It is refreshing some of the things that you show. In this world today things get covered up, glossed over, and hidden from view. As some one who identifies as a country boy most people do not know what happens between catching the fish AND putting it in the frying pan. Shouting "grab the stick" and showing what the fish look like when you bring them home is refreshing. In other videos open carrying in the back country is also a refreshing to see. Thank you.
I absolutely love all your videography I'm happy to see you guys have a little fun and take a much-deserved break from all your hard work on your new property
Eric and Erie, you both deserve some kind of ALASKA AWARD for doing such a wonderful job fishing, cleaning and cooking all the fish you catch. I love the salmon Berger!
I rate this as your BEST, #1 episode you’ve put out!! Starting with the absolutely beautiful photography to the story line. WOW !! I got all excited when you caught that King Eric, and found myself congratulating you through the TV. Your show has never disappointed me. A big thank you for making it a full, hour long episode so we could watch your entire trip from beginning to end. Take care and I’ll be anxiously awaiting the next one. - Stephanie Mahar New Hampshire Well, you two both amaze me with your talents and extremely hard work.
Im a chef...and Where I'm from...king salmon goes for 30 to 70 per pound. What a blessing to eat that beautiful fish right out of the river! My little chef heart is excited watching this video! ✌️
Man I am so jealous of you guys. Your free and wild lifestyle, the fact that you guys are such a great team with shared hobbies, your enthusiasm for life. Gall dang it, you’re really living the life.
Ya know, years ago when you started showing fishing videos, I was so so about them.... NOW I am riveted and watch the whole thing and get excited when you net one! I've become into fishing through you guys!
I usually watch most yt videos @ 2x and I didn't even consider changing the speed on this one until almost 3 minutes in...thank you for the the meditative vibes and the glimpses of wildlife are superb !!!! I especially loved the family of swans or geese (whatever they were, they were beautiful and mesmerizing !!!),
The opening scenes were breathtaking..I showed it to my family! You two are both better than any TV show. I keep looking daily for new videos. I just love your channel
Glad Eric thinks the same about Pink Himalayan salt, it is definitely saltier tasting. I thought it was just me. Lovely video too, that king salmon was HUGE! Well done for catching so much. Looking forward to the next adventure, concrete pouring. Yay!! Stay safe both of you xx
The intro was beautiful. Thank you for always taking us along even to town. Love your videos and can’t wait until the next one. Love taking us and showing us Alaska .
I never want your episodes to end… thank you so much for letting us enjoy this journey with you. I am so glad you are keeping the roe now, I use to nearly cry when you threw it away in the past, so delicious ❤
I literally can’t wait for your videos! Thank you for the National Geographic grade videos of all the gorgeous Alaska wilderness, the wonderful creatures and wildlife, and of course your 2 fur babies. You are so informative, creative, talented, and sweet to watch. Your elevation ship is a treasure to. Thank you so much!
Here in Australia, we only see wild salmon in a tin can, or the Atlantic salmon in Tasmania is farm-bred. We follow you every week with great anticipation, and you never disappoint. Your stories and action are exciting and entertaining, especially fishing and foraging. Your cinematography is outstanding. We are very envious of your lifestyle and adventures, so living vicariously through you has made this old man and his ‘young’ wife appreciate what we have experienced in our long life. Good luck in yours, and give the dogs and cat a cuddle and a treat. For these three, are stars in their own right.
I sometimes think, “People have to be crazy to want to live in Alaska where it’s so cold, with short summers, and so on”, But then I see videos like your entrance, and understand totally. Beautiful, beautiful filming and editing ❤❤❤
Beautiful scenery Alone. My word we inhabit a wonderful world. Those mountains? we were absolutely blown away when we travelled by vehicle through the Canadian Rockies, huge mountain ranges, each one seemed bigger than the last one. Great video to wake up too and have the first morning coffee with. Thankyou for all your work putting these videos together. Love them all. Looking forward to seeing what you have been up to back at the cabin.
I’m so excited to see that you guys got to got to hit the Copper for fish and that you did so well! Congrats on the King! What an experience 😊 We fished the Copper for so many years and it was always nice having enough fish to feed our family for the year. Excellent video footage as always ❤️
You'll have such an awesome video library to pass on to your grandkids of how it all happened. Hope you live a long happy life, thanks for inspiring this old Alaskan to get at it again
I am an Australian, living rural, on a large grain farm. Most of the time it is hot and fairly dry here. I have always had a fascination with Alaska and love watching your videos.. one day my husband and I will visit Alaska
From the opening drone scenes .. to the flowers .. all the hard work.. then the payoff cooking and eating the 'mixture of creatures' on your porch .. well, this was one of your best. I've been watching from the beginning and I'm still amazed at your versatility and talent. Well done!
Brilliant fishing guys. You really put the effort in - and it is so good to see your enjoyment of the fish too. Your enthusiasm is infectious and your obvious enjoyment of what you do together is lovely viewing. Thanks for having us along on the trip.
Beautiful Alaska , it’s fun to go camping especially when you get to catch salmon . Thanks for such a wonderful video . You are having such a haul , you can’t even stop to eat .😋
I love seeing Alaska thru your eyes. And so happy every time you catch your limits! Its great to actually have these repeat trips w you so we can actually get to know more about the local and the fishing, hunting, or whatever foraging you do. Thanks as always.
I've been to Alaska once and caught a 90 lb halibut. What I wasn't planning for was Alaska getting in my blood. It's grandeur is beyond words and I find myself wanting to go back. I love it! This video just lit the fire to return. Thanks for an upbeat attitude and some great fishing!!!
An epic film. The opening views and wildlife in mid-July made me weep due the beauty. Congratulations that the fishing was such a success at 85 pounds! Thanks for all the good information and fishing tips. Very happy that you are using a rope, tying off, wearing life vests, and using the fish backbacks ... so much safer than before your other dip fishing trips!!! Very happy that you had a mini-vacation in the middle of all your house projects. CAN NOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT VIDEO!!!
What a great intro. The scenery you capture is stunning. BTW I have a few favorite parts in this . Of coarse the scenery. Another, It took me a while to stop chuckling when Arielle was climbing up the path with 40 lbs of fish in a back pack . I like that Eric was making available and using a form of fall protection, and the wear life vest. Cutting and cleaning the fish was also a favorite too. It was very considerate of you all for showing this video with fishing. I know you have a lot of work to do with winter season on your mind. Thank you.😀
Oh my gosh, your video work is AWESOME 👌. I enjoy watching you 2 and the pure enjoyment you have in the adventure. So entertaining 👍😁. That king salmon was a monster. Well done!! Thanks for taking us along!
What a treat! Your nature shots were simply divine.❤ I'm so glad you got to take a break from work to fit in that annual tradition, a well deserved time away. I'm not a fish eater, for various reasons, but am the granddaughter of a fisherman who caught off the Great Barrier Reef. So do remember the differencethat wild fresh caught makes. Fresh water or ocean. Fresh caught wild Barramundi steamed with butter, salt and pepper was our family go to meal. I love the way you two use as much of the fish as possible, nothing wasted. And have a good supply to see you through the season. Great video!
every. single. video. outdoes the last. I don't know how you do it but I love it. Thank you for the time and effort you put into editing and filming these!
I agree that the opening of the video is breathtaking! You both are wonderful fishermen and thanks for taking us on your adventures! I was so sad to see that your salad for that delicious meal was iceberg lettuce! I bet you can’t wait to harvest your own lettuces again!
Another amazing fishing trip. When I first started watching it I thought oh no, they are going where the last time I was afraid you were going to fall in! This area looked a little safer than the last one. Loved how you figured how to carry the fish back up the cliff. Such a good idea.
The absolute right way to grill Salmon is always: skinn down, skinn up, skinn down! The King is King Salmon! Enjoy your 45 kg of fish! Lovely video! Best regards Peter Eriksson Sweden Europe ❤❤❤!
Your fishing videos are some of my favorite videos you guys do..I love it! My parents are in Alaska right now being a tourist and fishing..they did the long road trip from California and they are having the time of their lives.
one of my favorite bits of the salmon we harvested growing up in alaska was the salmon skin - we always de-scaled it when processing it, took a little bit longer for each fish but absolutely worth it… like extra crispy fried chicken skin when we fried the salmon with its skin still on 🥰 and we always made our popular filipino fish head sour soup 🥰🥰🥰
Just returned home to Texas from visiting my son in Anchorage. My second time since he’s been there. This time he went fishing and came home with, if I remember correctly, red sockeye. I pan fried it with a bit of avocado oil and seasoning. The absolute best salmon I’ve had in my life! He’ll be coming home soon. The experience with him and now seeing your video, it is definitely worth dedicating a trip there, just to fish! Magnificent! 💜
Yet again, stunning videography!! The salmon looks delicious too 😋. Thanks again for your hard work planning and preparing the content every week. We really look forward to seeing it. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
You two are so totally in sync. Your presentation is so well choreographed, like a ballet. Awesome respect for each other. You are each others equal. And you have fun together. Dont't ever lose the lustre and wonder for each other. ❤😅

so much effort and time must go into that little segment, absolutely beautiful!

Absolutely
Totally agree, the days seem to be long until I see the people I’m following have new videos.
Absolutely I love getting my notification ❤
That intro was a show all by itself. Even though I've been to Alaska several times it never gets old.
So true 🙂 we are fortunate to see her beauty everyday.
@@SimpleLivingAlaska absolutely!
For real. Nat geo better watch out
"I've got to know what I'm capable of" - Arielle, I don't think there's anything you're not capable of. Absolutely love watching you two ❤
Seriously, the Alaskan tourist board should be taking you on the payroll. Your openings are always superb but this is exceptional by any standards. Your choice of music just underpins the photography so well too. What talents the two of you have.
I literally was thinking this fact. Alaska is benefitting from these two n they need to be acknowledged.
Yes they should
"Eric!!! You are just wild!!!" "What else would I do?" Aside from your hard work and creativity your manner toward each other is truly heart warming. The kindness and respect you share is invaluable. Your channel is the antidote for so much of the bs in the world. My thanks.
Oi Wendy, obrigada pois penso igual. Eles são extraordinários, em tudo. Abraço do 🇧🇷
It really is such a great channel!
You guys have the BEST editing on your channel. I mean it! Whoever is editing your videos is amazing and deserves a raise. Loving your content always.
That would be Eric 😁
@@SimpleLivingAlaskaI am glad to read it is Eric!! I am happy for ur success but channels lose their luster to me when they get all big business
@@SimpleLivingAlaska
And what a plethora of incredible shots and droning ARIELLE supplies him with. ❤❤❤
Credit where credit is due ❤❤❤
@@SimpleLivingAlaska Well done.
155 million views in 5 years is incredible!!! I have followed your channel since it began and haven't missed an episode.

Oh, and thank you for not marketing AG-1 😂
Z@lam4330 AG-1,,, 😂😂😂😂. Especially with sides of fast and junk food. To each his own.
Only problem with watching you guys cook fresh fish is we end up extremely hungry! Beautiful trip. Your videos keep getting better and better.
I always have a hunger after these vids. I'd be a real porkus if not real careful
WOW WOW WOW.
Your opening montage is film-worthy. Absolutely brilliantly shot and edited. Oh, and the fish ain’t bad either! Gosh you guys have come a long way forward in everything you do. Much applause to you both from Australia. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇦🇺🦘

Shows how talented they are 😊
I’m using their pickled eggs recipe. Thank you both for your entertaining videos.

Amooooo.

❤I thought it was one of the best ones too! And it was so awesome seeing how excited they were!❤
Ariel, Eric, you are both fantastic outdoorsmen! I love how excited you both get when fishing! So amazing to watch you two doing anything together ❤
So true, They are the Best, IMO!
Love your annual fishing vlogs. Just wonderful to see nature at its best. Your excitement is really fun to watch. That Copper River is ferocious. Living vicariously through you. Stay safe. ❤

We would have died if it weren't for that lovely gentleman that rode us and our fish back the 4 miles we walked in 🙂
This is probably my favorite place on earth! Congrats for doing so well! Could you tell me what knife brand Eric used to clean those fish with?? Or is it a custom knife? Thanks!

Can you imagine being a pioneer and trying to navigate that river? Wow.
Remarkable fishing harvest is back👍 My favourite RUclips couple working hard and living their dream! All the best from Finnish Lapland 🇫🇮🇺🇸😎
From the opening drone scenes .. to the flowers .. all the hard work.. then the payoff cooking and eating the 'mixture of creatures' on your porch .. well, this was one of your best. I've been watching from the beginning and I'm still amazed at your versatility and talent. Well done!
Intro made me speachless. I literally got shivers.
Brilliant fishing guys. You really put the effort in - and it is so good to see your enjoyment of the fish too. Your enthusiasm is infectious and your obvious enjoyment of what you do together is lovely viewing. Thanks for having us along on the trip.
Hi Ariel and Eric!
The photography is stunning! I love the drone shots. You two are the best RUclipsrs out there.
Beautiful Alaska , it’s fun to go camping especially when you get to catch salmon . Thanks for such a wonderful video . You are having such a haul , you can’t even stop to eat .😋
I love seeing Alaska thru your eyes. And so happy every time you catch your limits! Its great to actually have these repeat trips w you so we can actually get to know more about the local and the fishing, hunting, or whatever foraging you do. Thanks as always.
You guys are still rocking! Thanks for bring us along with you again to the Copper River. Opening montage almost stopped my heart!
I've been to Alaska once and caught a 90 lb halibut. What I wasn't planning for was Alaska getting in my blood. It's grandeur is beyond words and I find myself wanting to go back. I love it! This video just lit the fire to return. Thanks for an upbeat attitude and some great fishing!!!
An epic film. The opening views and wildlife in mid-July made me weep due the beauty. Congratulations that the fishing was such a success at 85 pounds! Thanks for all the good information and fishing tips. Very happy that you are using a rope, tying off, wearing life vests, and using the fish backbacks ... so much safer than before your other dip fishing trips!!!
Very happy that you had a mini-vacation in the middle of all your house projects.
CAN NOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT VIDEO!!!
Y'all always do a great job! Impressive everything that you do!
Wasn't expecting a fishing video this summer. Nice!
Thank you so much Arielle and Eric, for this new video ! I was very happy for you that you harvested so many fish (that king salmon was a beast !) !
What a great intro. The scenery you capture is stunning. BTW I have a few favorite parts in this . Of coarse the scenery. Another, It took me a while to stop chuckling when Arielle was climbing up the path with 40 lbs of fish in a back pack . I like that Eric was making available and using a form of fall protection, and the wear life vest. Cutting and cleaning the fish was also a favorite too. It was very considerate of you all for showing this video with fishing. I know you have a lot of work to do with winter season on your mind. Thank you.😀
Oh my gosh, your video work is AWESOME 👌. I enjoy watching you 2 and the pure enjoyment you have in the adventure. So entertaining 👍😁. That king salmon was a monster. Well done!! Thanks for taking us along!
What a treat! Your nature shots were simply divine.❤ I'm so glad you got to take a break from work to fit in that annual tradition, a well deserved time away. I'm not a fish eater, for various reasons, but am the granddaughter of a fisherman who caught off the Great Barrier Reef. So do remember the differencethat wild fresh caught makes. Fresh water or ocean. Fresh caught wild Barramundi steamed with butter, salt and pepper was our family go to meal.
I love the way you two use as much of the fish as possible, nothing wasted. And have a good supply to see you through the season. Great video!
This is even more motivation to schedule a trip to the Copper River during the Sockeye Salmon season! Thank you
every. single. video. outdoes the last. I don't know how you do it but I love it. Thank you for the time and effort you put into editing and filming these!
These music intros are so good! 🔥🔥🔥
You capture the beauty of nature in its totality beautifully
You guys are literally living the dream life!! Hell of a catch!!!
Yep, what a blessing to have such abundant fishing so close to home.
I agree that the opening of the video is breathtaking! You both are wonderful fishermen and thanks for taking us on your adventures! I was so sad to see that your salad for that delicious meal was iceberg lettuce! I bet you can’t wait to harvest your own lettuces again!
Another amazing fishing trip. When I first started watching it I thought oh no, they are going where the last time I was afraid you were going to fall in! This area looked a little safer than the last one. Loved how you figured how to carry the fish back up the cliff. Such a good idea.
The absolute right way to grill Salmon is always: skinn down, skinn up, skinn down! The King is King Salmon! Enjoy your 45 kg of fish! Lovely video! Best regards Peter Eriksson Sweden Europe ❤❤❤!
Loved doing this with family when I was a teen in the 70's.
Your fishing videos are some of my favorite videos you guys do..I love it! My parents are in Alaska right now being a tourist and fishing..they did the long road trip from California and they are having the time of their lives.
one of my favorite bits of the salmon we harvested growing up in alaska was the salmon skin - we always de-scaled it when processing it, took a little bit longer for each fish but absolutely worth it… like extra crispy fried chicken skin when we fried the salmon with its skin still on 🥰 and we always made our popular filipino fish head sour soup 🥰🥰🥰
Your cinematography is and editing are wonderful. I am sure /I am the same as many, I live vicariously through your work. Thank you!
Just returned home to Texas from visiting my son in Anchorage. My second time since he’s been there. This time he went fishing and came home with, if I remember correctly, red sockeye. I pan fried it with a bit of avocado oil and seasoning. The absolute best salmon I’ve had in my life! He’ll be coming home soon. The experience with him and now seeing your video, it is definitely worth dedicating a trip there, just to fish! Magnificent! 💜
Yet again, stunning videography!! The salmon looks delicious too 😋. Thanks again for your hard work planning and preparing the content every week. We really look forward to seeing it. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
What a dangerous river and what great fish. Glad you are super safe. Love Alaska because of your videos.
Always enjoy your fishing videos! Thanks for taking all of us along your journey.
The fishing is always my favorite.
You two are so totally in sync. Your presentation is so well choreographed, like a ballet. Awesome respect for each other. You are each others equal. And you have fun together. Dont't ever lose the lustre and wonder for each other. ❤😅
That’s why you go to Alaska, we know you all have projects but that’s why we love you, the adventures you bring us. Thanks for sharing.
