    My father was from Kennebunk Maine from the 30s. He used to tell me stories about him and his family of 17 (15 kids) living off the land and hunting and fishing and my grandma baking once a week and laying all the goodies on the large dining table to rise and cool covered with old clean sheets. I envisioned a log cabin as a child but it was a regular house on a hill. Lol haha I live in New Port Richey Florida and the cost of living is so high here $1700 to $3000 a month just to rent a very average apt or home. You guys are so informative and I adore your channel. You both are so smart and resourceful. It's nice to see a married couple who have great values and are living a happy sustainable life. I'm gonna be 49 and my hubby 50 so Idt we would want all that work but I love vicariously through your videos every week. I love your knowledge of herbs and plants please continue with more of that. Thank you for being awesome and btw your daughter seems happy healthy and is living a great life! Amazing job mom and dad.

    Great story. I wish I had the adventurous spirit when I was your age. My husband and I did move to the country on 12 acres to raise our 2 boys. We never once regretted it even though we were told we were crazy by every member of our family. There is nothing like homegrown vegetables you planted and nurtured!!!

    As a very frugal retired 66 year-old from Central Mississippi, who hunts fishes and gardens mostly these days. I am impressed with the your ability to be able to do what you’re doing. If I was a younger man, I probably would give that a shot myself. I love the outdoors, but of course Central Mississippi is a long ways and a very different climate than Alaska. God bless!

    I just discovered your channel and I’m glad I did!
    I really appreciate you sharing your amazing journey. It gives me hope for the future when I see young people getting back to the things that make life so fulfilling. Learning/living these skills and passing them on to daughter and viewers, is a great contribution to society at large. Thank you.
    If you ever need content ideas, I think it would be awesome to see a video that goes through your process of deciding where you wanted to settle and how you went about locating land in that area, how you knew what questions to ask to make sure it was a good fit for you, etc. A sort of “if you don’t know where to start” here’s how we searched for and found our homestead. (AK is such a huge state, I wouldn’t even know what area to begin to looking)
    Your video and audio quality is spot on. Thank you for that.
    Wishing you all the best, from the opposite end of the U.S. climate spectrum, the Sonoran Desert. ✌
    PS, loved the apothecary episode…we share that passion.

    You popped on my feed recently. I love all things Alaska so I subbed. Thanks for the intro video. I am going back to your oldest and watching. i so hope you can sock away some RUclips money and make infrastructure changes on the property. I think it must be so exciting to finally be at your dream point and begin building what you dreamed of. So few people actually get or do that. Good for you!!!!!!!

    Hey y'all, I'm new here. Thank you for giving us a history on y'all. I'm in Louisville Kentucky, hence the Southern accent, even in typing. Lol. Can y'all do an in depth story on why y'all chose homesteading? How y'all met, how do you make money to live? How did you purchase the small house? How did you afford all the equipment? I'm 56 and can't figure out how people save enough to buy all the big boy toys. Those are a few things I'd like to know.

    • @holdfastalaska
      @holdfastalaska  Месяц назад +1

      We simply wanted the lifestyle! To support our homestead we have ran various small home based businesses, from agriculture and herbal products to commercial fishing. I have even done remote real estate work. The equipment we saved and bought when ready (the tractor you see was rented!). With the sweat equity we put into our first property, we were able to buy the farmhouse to fix up. We hope this helps! ❤️

    • @anissia1210
      @anissia1210 Месяц назад

      ​@holdfastalaska Ok so you had alot of money from the sale of the first property. That makes sense. What work do you do now to feed and clothe everyone?
