All I can suggest for the back woods is what you probably already know: get some seeds or seedlings of native species that won't be as susceptible to the beetles, and spend a bit of spring/summer planting them. Not all at once, but for every tree taken down, maybe at most half a dozen? They'll compete, some will feed moose or deer, but eventually some will replace the felled trees, and help stabilize the soil of the hillside.
You two compliment each other so well,it's so nice to see. I'm sure each of you know how lucky you are with that. I look forward to your videos. Thanks for letting us in part of your life 💜💜💜💜
Glad you got the pizza in there near the end. Here I thought there was going to be a video of yours without food! Cutting down dead trees and hauling away the wood seems like a good project for late winter. Even though it looked like hard work, at least it was easier to do this time of year instead of in summer with all the mud. I love how you guys have no commercials in your videos. I think that is one reason they are so relaxing -- no annoying interruptions!
They might mean that they have no in video sponsorships, often people have both ads and sponsorships as revenue streams but these guys are rarely (if ever) advertising something in video unless it was sent to them
Hi guys, uses for tops and rotten timber. You can use the tops and brush to make charcoal, a 60 ltr drum inside a 200 ltd drum can be used to cook timber in the 60 ltr drum (turning it to charcoal) which is a very good smokeless fuel. The fire in the 200 ltr drum providing the cooking heat. Rotting timber is great to go into the bottom of raised garden beds and breaks down into excellent humus with lots of nutrients. I hope I don’t come over as a know it all, but some of these things I wish I knew myself a long time ago. I normally would not say anything but I respect and admire your enthusiasm towards your chosen lifestyle and each other. Pizza by a bonfire is also a good way to use brush to. To life.
What a fast job. I wouldn't have thought about cutting trees all day in the very deep snow. You two really deserve a long comfy nights sleep. Thanks for sharing your exciting adventures with all of us.
Eric: "You have to keep the fire kinda small" Also Eric: "Those are twenty-foot flames!!" I absolutely love your guys' content... and honestly, I have to say I don't think I've seen a couple on youtube work harder than you two. I need a nap now.
Beautiful video. Snow. Burning fire. Pizza and a a cuddle in the great outdoors. Life can't get better than this. Thanks for sharing. Spring squirrel noises are hilarious. They are driving my cats nuts as I started the video. Lol
This brings back memories of cutting wood all summer to have enough for winter. Cutting, hauling, splitting and stacking. That with shoveling snow seemed like never ending jobs. Kudos to you for doing it all.
Thank y’all for the forest preservation you are applying, those tops and limbs if left on the ground become fuel for any fire and gets extremely hot. That pizza looked yummy. I admire your work ethics and your admiration for each other. Be safe and much love for all humanity.
You guys are always inspiring me to go outside and do more…having that said tho today we finished our high tunnel and the next week it’s gonna be setting everything else up with soil and raised bed etc! I’m very excited to expand my garden! Sending many blessings to you guys and everyone I r he comment section 💗
They say AMC is the best at the moment, But do you have an idea how well it would do? I just retired and set aside $83k to invest aggressively with mainly AMC and NIO. Kindly let me know your thoughts.
@Tiny Alumbaugh Hi, please could share more insight for someone who has been in the red for too long? Also I could use some referral, how do I reach the expert that assists you? Are they consistent?
I'm interested in forest management and you're nailing it. A good example for everyone. Using up that dead wood in your forest means less fuel should a forest fire ever break out. Your slash pile of waste wood was a very safe distance from the forest but you stayed to keep an eye on the fire and made a pizza lunch moment out of it at that. The best thing about that time of year is if someone can handle some cold - no bugs and easier to haul the wood from some spots. I hope to see more of your forest and approach to managing it, and seeing what you use and how you maintain that equip :D My mom has 33 acres of forest and I help with wood duties at the inlaws. I've become way better at that thanks to youtube. Anything more I can learn... I wish my back was as good as yours. It's inspiring how you two help each other with everything and that you put your all into it. We can learn from that too. Cheers!
I was eating homemade pizza while watching this….and you two remind me of us when we were your age. What a great team you are. Even though we are probably 30years older than u now….We are still going out getting firewood and cutting lumber. It’s a great life. Thank you for sharing yours
If you have so many beetle kill trees that are complete losses, maybe think about renting a wood chipper if you don't already have one. Turn the trees into wood mulch and during the non-snow season put the wood chips down on your driveway and work paths. You could also turn it into compressed 'logs' for your wood stove.
My family and I look forward to your videos each week. Love the great content as always, keep it up! Thank you so much for sharing so much of your life with us.
I am just so blown away how hard working you are. I mean it’s just two of you maintaining that forest and after a long day of working you still had energy to cook and make pizza. Amazing!
Imagine doing all this work when people did not have chainsaws and snowmobiles. I actually have done this 40 years ago when crappy Soviet chainsaw broke down and me and my father had to fell 100 cubic meters of wood with 2 man saw and regular axe. But we managed to do that and cottage on the bank of the river we built with that wood still stands even though we sold it to new owner decades ago.. Keep up good work and I am glad you have better equipment and tools nowadays.
Bo knows... Bandit's ready !! Lots of hard work accomplished there. Nice team work you two. That red sled is a tough little bugger. And, the pizza looked too good. That hit the spot after a hard day's work.
Oh my goodness....I am tired just watching you! BUT this is what we have lost sight of....good, hard physical work like our fore fathers. Good job you two. I am sure you were powerfully hungry ea day you were done for the day. You know with the luming problems of this present day world you will be fine as you know how to be mostly self sufficient! Blessings
I want to thank you for all the wonderful videos that you put out especially love the ones when your garden starts coming in I used to have a garden but now I live in an apartment I miss it so much just wanted to say thank you
I love how you take such good care of sweet Bo. Bandit definitely has more get up and go, so happy go lucky, but Bo has slowed down. So glad you include him and show him love. We had a golden retriever, Gunther, for almost 16 years…he was my baby.
Still amazes me how well you two work together. Just a word of advice to Arielle, yell “look out” before you toss the log section down the hill, not after
a friend of mine owns a couple properties, he cut down all standing dead wood. make firewood and lumber, properly stored, high and dry, it last forever basically. 1 in 5 or so he left to rot in the forest, but cut down to improve wild life and the biodiversity. but keeping it safe to walk in and to make sure no live trees got hurt. lastly make sure to plant some new trees, your property look good for softwoods like pine or some Scandinavian birch. Love from Sweden
My wife grew up in Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Her Dad told stories of the days when the lumberjacks were in the area around 1890 to 1900 and were clear cutting the White Pine forests. The lumberjacks would cut wood in the winter then haul it on large sledges. The summer was much like your property and boggy in the spring through fall. Moving the logs on snow in the winter was much easier as you are finding out
Wow! You sure have a load of snow still. That was a lot of wood gathering and that sled sure can take the abuse. Sweet Bo loved the ride with his Dad. Always good to see what you two are up to. 👍🥰❤️
You know I think you guys are just so awesome I love how you try new and different things you're not a bunch of giggly people but you guys know how to experiment with growing your seeds every year and the things you ca n up and all the fermenting you guys do you both are so educational y'all do so much it's just so awesome to see you guys in action I think you're one of my favorites
Eric, get yourself a set of external circlip pliers for removing and replacing those retaining clips on the drive shaft. Banging them on and off with a screwdriver you'll end up scoring the shaft. they come in straight or bent nose. Always handy to have in your tool kit. You can also get them for removing internal circlips.
@@goranbreskic4304 haha... I spent over 20 years in an engineering trade. I see someone struggle a bit to do a job, when it's much easier to have correct tool, usually a simple and inexpensive tool.
My sister sent me the link to this episode. I subscribed. I love the way you two work together. I'm an arborist. My wife worked with me. We did very well until September, when she got sick and died. The best part was the end, when you were holding each other. Don't ever lose that!
As a kid I lived on the east coast near the Vermont border (to give you a weather reference). With all the time I logged on a snowmobile, I never spent one second working while doing so. Probably because I never owned one. Snowmobiles are like kids, they're great fun to play with but at the end of the day, giving them back to their owners is the best way to experience them... I'm kidding, a little. But that's totally true of snowmobiles, and most motorboats.
Have been Praying for You don't know how close your to the Russian Border line but have been Praying for YOU BOTH and the puppies !!! I love what YOU BOTH DO here on this channel!!! It is the one video that I have watched that does come across the CLEAREST AND AUDIO BEST TOGETHER !!!
Ariel: "Did you get whacked?" Eric: "Yeah" Great video! The ending was great especially bringing the "Old Man" to the party in his own limo. Thanks for the upload!
The sap comes after the insect's attack the trees. Falling in tree well has been known to result in the death of the person who falls in especially if they have a backpack and or they are on ski's. Very hard to get pack and or ski's off because they fall in head first. From experience you can make a safe and solid pad on snow just by stomping on it with ski's or similar or by snowmobile running over it several times and leaving it for an hour. Leaves a very hard surface, ergo anyone who has experience with avalanches is familiar with that. Finally brush piles make reasonable homes for small animals. Cheers and stay safe, an other great video.
GOD protect you guys, please be safe when you do this kind of work. It so sad to see how many dead tree you have, take years to have a mature ones. Love your videos, Alaska is a beautiful place, love summer ( maybe because I getting old and like warm weather, ha,ha,).
LOVE the snow scenes! it is a lot of hard work taking care of your forest on your land, but it also looks like a lot of fun on the snow with snow machine!
My grandson and I love watching your videos. When we sit down in the evenings so many times we are watching you. We have seen some 3 to 4 times. Thank you for your real true life.
Hauling the wood with the Skandic over snow work so much better than trying to lay logs down in the mud to try to get traction, great thinking! Damn I can't believe how deep that snow was back there, the Arielle stepped in almost looked like a yote den. When Eric was back there with the Skandic going forward, reverse, forward.....that totally did remind me of Austin Powers in that damn golf cart....LMAO!!!! Nice rewarding, hard working day right there!!!
What a nice couple of days' work! I always work-up quite an appetite watching you work so hard. Feels like I'm burning the calories too. Pretty sure that Bo is one of my soulmates. 💗 Thanks for sharing.
Brush piles in the woods also makes real good habitat for rabbits. It gives them shelter and protection from predators.. unless there is a reason for taking the time to drag it out I would just make big piles in the woods. Just a thought .. it’s a lot of extra work unless you just want the fires
There`s always work to be done in Alaska it seems, what a duo the two of you are, boy that skandic is a real work horse., that is one heavy duty plastic sled you have there, a real time saver, it sure is easier to float those logs over the snow. I knew there would be a meal at the end, I could pay $25 for a pizza, and not get anything close to that beauty Ariel made, It looked like it was cooked to perfection, we all just love your videos, keep em coming, thanks for sharing your adventures with us, all the best to ya both. Eric it was kind of funny, Ariel throwing those big chunks of wood at you, watch out she says, you guys are the best, following along from U.S.A. Michigan.
You two have the best clarity of picture and sound and the best presentation of all the channels we follow.
💯 % agreed 😊
Suppose other folks use older models of go pro
For sure!! I feel like sounds is almost like asmr!
Really enjoy the 'no-narration' segments. Just you guys living life. We've always enjoyed your format and your content. Thanks!

Taking out the dead trees leaves space for the others to grow without intervention.

Here in the uk there are advertisements on this channel.
Was thinking exactly the same about the food, love these guys.
You must have premium subscription, I had a few commercials during the video, here in Texas.
Yup! Gotta have the food!
This also would have been a great time for tomato soup and grilled cheese.
They might mean that they have no in video sponsorships, often people have both ads and sponsorships as revenue streams but these guys are rarely (if ever) advertising something in video unless it was sent to them
I love how they are doing this full time now, such quality content.
What a blessing. I know it took a whole lot of hard work to get all that meat in the freezer but sure was worth it. Enjoyed the video. Thanks

When you burn the spruce do you get much creosote and tar buildup in your flue.
Do you have access to much hard wood fire wood?

That squirrel in the intro really got my dogs interested 😄
Nice to know squirrels are so demanding everywhere, even in Alaska and not just my own back yard!
the hug at the end was the best
The hug by the campfire at the end was the best!
It's alot of hard work, yet you make it look simple with a smile in place! Getting that wood while the snow is still down was genius!🤗💪
Bandit looked "loose as a goose" running. So sweet and expected you didn't leave Bo out of the fun.
You made my day! This is what life should look like. Lots of teamwork, and hugs at the end. Thank you!
The quality of these videos is just *chef’s kiss*
All that work, pausing to get fantastic shots! Thanks kindly for for that
Big happy dog watching the work being done like it was a union shop!!
Cheers from the great state of Arkansas!!

I can’t believe how well you two work together. Such a dynamic pair.
Every time you are doing dangerous stuff I remind myself that you posted the video so nothing bad happens.!!!! You made it out alive. 🥰
Thank you for sharing your day I always look forward to them yall are such hard workers ❤ and your eye for beauty never disappoint
I enjoy your videos so much i call you guys my friends in Alaska thank you and you'll my favorite ❤ 💕 💗

This is my favorite channel... Ariel & Eric😘😘😘
a friend of mine owns a couple properties, he cut down all standing dead wood. make firewood and lumber, properly stored, high and dry, it last forever basically. 1 in 5 or so he left to rot in the forest, but cut down to improve wild life and the biodiversity. but keeping it safe to walk in and to make sure no live trees got hurt. lastly make sure to plant some new trees, your property look good for softwoods like pine or some Scandinavian birch.

Hard job today. Little sled made quick work of bringing home the wood. Nice bonfire.
Pizza sure did look wonderful.
A side benefit to logging is the weighted sled helps groom your trails.
Yes we have a great trail now :)
Love the wildlife and also like the high/low temps, sunrise/sunset at the start of video.
You know I think you guys are just so awesome I love how you try new and different things you're not a bunch of giggly people but you guys know how to experiment with growing your seeds every year and the things you ca n up and all the fermenting you guys do you both are so educational y'all do so much it's just so awesome to see you guys in action I think you're one of my favorites
One of the best parts. Love when you work with wood
Watching you guys wears me out!! Hopefully you sleep well after all the work you do!
Thankyou Ariel and Eric .
Eric, get yourself a set of external circlip pliers for removing and replacing those retaining clips on the drive shaft. Banging them on and off with a screwdriver you'll end up scoring the shaft. they come in straight or bent nose. Always handy to have in your tool kit. You can also get them for removing internal circlips.
I have no idea what you just said, but I love this type of comment. So beautifully practical.
@@goranbreskic4304 haha... I spent over 20 years in an engineering trade. I see someone struggle a bit to do a job, when it's much easier to have correct tool, usually a simple and inexpensive tool.

I keep those smaller diameter stems for fire wood, since you don't have to split them, just the thinner branches go on the burn pile.
