I LOVE how the dogs vie for your attention!! Its also so satisfying to see that the dogs stay around you when they’re out!! LOVE the GSD’s!! Thanks for showing them “observing” your work!!😂😂😂
You'll get there. One foot in front of another. Everyone is having weird weather. I guess we're just going to have to adjust and deal with it.
You sure will be busy come spring and don't feel bad asking for help. Back in the day that's how friends, family and neighbors got things done. Helping each other out.
Take care . See you on th next one. ❤❤
Absolutely! Thank you 🩵
So good to get caught up with your progress in digging out from all the snow you arrived home to…..always look forward to your videos 💕
Thanks for joining us.
Maybe you can buy harnesses and get your dogs to pull the wood. They'd love having a job & save you a ton of work.
Craig actually built a sled for them. Now I just need to find a couple harnesses. 🐾
you guys really need a tractor or good skid steer so you keep your road dug out and make threw winter easier because you are putting a lot of work into just keeping warm and feed
Equipment sure would make things easier. Maybe someday we’ll be able to get one.
Great job hauling your wood to your wood shed
Stay safe. Stay warm. Enjoy yourselves! Love each other.. and the dogs!!
Man I felt for you Craig having to drag all that wood and stack it! I never liked the process of stacking wood but it always feels and looks so good when it’s done! Nice to see you two back home! Take care!
Thanks, it is a lot of work but rewarding.
How comforting to know no matter what the weather you will always be warm with that beautiful fire going, one less thing to worry about. Its all going to come together. I am excited to see the progress you make during the summer and fall before next winter. One foot in front of the other they say..
Sometimes I just need to be reminded, this is only temporary. All this snow just makes things seem hopeless right now. It is coming together slowly. Spring is around the corner and then hopefully we'll see some real progress. Thank you 💛
learn to harness those dogs, and have them pull the wood. you might be able to make a rope harness for the wood pulling. Worth a try. Try using your ashes to make the snow trails less slippery.
Great idea!
You should build you a big wooden sleigh and get your wood on it and pull with 4-wheeler
My dad always said: How do you eat an elephant? ONE bite at a time. You will get there, just take it one task, then another, and another and before long you will get it all accomplished and looking for something else to do.
Your dads a very wise man 🩵
Yes, he was!@@ouralaskahomestead
Everyone’s Dad, or Mom said that!
Wonderful advice ❤❤❤
@@ws775that's not true
👍
You have some serious guard dogs there. They sure didn`t like it when you bumped your leg and said 'oh oh oh. Dogs to the rescue.
Yes, they’re always watching out for us. Good puppers 🐾
Take some of your ash from your wood stove and spread it on the walkways. The ciders will give you some traction.
I think we'll try that next time we clean it out.
Maybe in a few years, you will have a little better time at getting the winter wood supply? It was nice to hear your son getting his goals started. Back in he 1960's, I grew up in eastern Oklahoma, my parents started their homestead of about 3 acres, with the out-house, when I went to college in fall of 1970, they finally got indoor plumbing. I now life about 20 miles to the east, in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Thanks for sharing. Peace, Long Life, & Health to All.
Had we not left I think we would have had time to be more prepared. Last summer was spent building the house, this summer can be used to get more settled in and prep for next winter.
JUST BEAUTIFUL LOVE THIS. HAH MAYBE A BIGGER AND FULLER SLED WITH HIGHER UP BARS TO HOLD MORE WOOD. LOL YOU ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE. THANK YOU GOD BLESS BE SAFE.
Great idea!!
How fast do those tides come in?
Mannn I will never complain about moving our cord wood to the pile again!!! What a work out!😮
Hang in there.. summer's comin. 🪵
Quick! We’ve seen a handful of vehicles that have got stuck and flooded. You need to be mindful for sure.
Your walk on the beach was enjoyable to watch. The chunks of ice are pretty cool to see!
There's a screw or something fell off the battery when you pulled it out of the ATV. Look on the video. Good to see you two are back😊
I’ll have to go back and look at that section then see if I can find the piece. Thanks!
I am sure it's good to be home. But yeah overwhelming chores....one at a time will get r done 😊
So true!
Great video
Get some harnesses for them puppies , teach them to tow the sled....
Our winters are usually mild here in north central West Virginia. But I bet it’s really strange for Alaska. So good to see your channel growing. God Bless You all.
Thank you 😊
We find shark teeth in South Carolina. They are not easy for me to see, but I enjoy looking. Alaska is so beautiful. Maybe one day I will visit, but right now I will enjoy the great channels that y’all provide.
Oh wow! Shark teeth! I'd love to find one of those.
Beautiful dogs! Shepherds are my favorite breed.
Mine too!
Four dogs in Alaska that don't pull a sled.
I guess I need to get some harnesses and train them. Maybe I should add a few more to the pack and we can be the first German Shepherd Iditarod team lol
may need to train a couple of your pups to mush ... get them to help haul the wood ... and any other thing you need pulled into the woods ...
That would be fun!
Good luck. Spring is coming and hopefully the snow will start to melt for you. Take care✌️🇺🇸
In hopeful manner.
Fingers crossed!
Hard at work, like always. Love the channel. Sending warm regard from South Africa. Stay safe, stay warm.
Thanks 😊
Thanks for the beautiful views of Alaska, probably be the only way I’ll ever see it. It’s been at the top of my bucket list to come visit or even move there but life happens. I love your channel ❤
Hopefully you can make it up someday. 🤞
Just found your channel from the suggestions list. You two are the real deal. Hard workers. I'm a little confused on why your driveway is in the state it is but I'm going back to watch the older videos and get caught up. I like seeing channels that are actually homesteading vs all these city folks moving up there and just buying all the equipment or hiring all the chores out. I want to do this same thing but I was starting to think if you're not rich it can't be done. Looks like you've relit the fire under my dream. Great video.
Always chase your dreams!
I saw the other nut for your battery fall off and down through the wheeler as you lifted the battery out. Those square nuts aren’t easy to find unless you have an old battery laying around
Thanks, I’ll have to go see if I can find it. I’ve got one of those extendable magnet sticks that’ll hopefully pull it out.
How beautiful!
Just an FYI When ocean water freezes, the ice contains very little salt because only the water part freezes. Beautiful beach photos.
Thanks for the info! I didn’t know that.
Thank you for sharing. Always look forward to your videos!
Glad you like them! Thank you for joining us.
Good to know history about the highway. Thanks for sharing and good news on the growing subscribers ❤
Thank you 💛
Wish we were there to give you a hand. Hope some of that snow melts soon to make things a little easier. Enjoy your channel. All the best!
Wish you were too! Thank you.
Stay warm great pic of the beach,no swimming yet 😂
Not yet! A guy I work with swims all winter 🥶 I hate cold water.
Love your guys videos. We stack a lot of wood ourselves also. We just use the linking log technique on the ends to hold it in place. We burn about 3 full cords during our michigan winters. Cant wait till next video!!
We go through a little under five usually. Next winter we will be ready!
Good morning from Belize, Central America. Am just wondering why you don't stack the firewood sideways, which has been proven to be much safer, and you would carry more. Also why use your hands to pull your sled, when you could put the rope around your waste and let your body do the pulling?
Yer starting to get tired yer woods falling off it's sled. Hope you both have a good evening.
That was my last trip. You’re right, I was getting tired by that point and didn’t stack it very well. Thanks for watching.
Great video beautiful land spring is coming 👍👍🌎👍
Hopefully it gets here quick! Thanks for watching.
Sled dogs? We haven’t seen any sled dogs…… The dogs say as they make their owner do the pulling😅.
😂
Tell your son, thanks for his service
He’s actually decided to go straight into nursing school. The hospital where I work has a great in house program to get him started.
Happy Friday to you both. Thank you so much for the new episode. Yes sir you need to be able to ask for help as your health is so important with so much to do when the snow does melt. Too bad you couldn’t hire a student to help, they could earn a little and possibly get credit at school depending on what course they are doing. Either way you rock doing these episodes with so much to do. Loved the solution to get battery out!!
Thank you!
on the ends if you go 180 degreez on each layer it wont fall down
I’ll try that next time, thanks 😊
Add a piece of para cord under the battery and up to the top, tie a knot and leave a loop to crab. I do that to my motorcycle battery, works great.
Great idea!
Nice video
Thanks
🤗❤❤✌
Hey Guys , Just watching your New Episode And Seen Your Trailer And If You Plan On Buying A Bigger One Please Keep Me In Mind . ( Im In Anchorage )
I'm Selling My 10x10 Double Sled Trailer And Then Will Be In The Market For Another One For My Side By Side This Summer.... Welcome To Alaska ! ! !
She Will Keep Testing You ❤ .... You Guys Are Doing Great ! ! ! .
No plans right now to get rid of it but I’ll keep you in mind if that changes. Thank you for joining us 😊 And thank you for the SUPER THANKS Donation 🙏 we really appreciate it.
Hard work.
It is but its worth it.
The price for that one cord of wood!!! Wow!!!
Definitely can’t do that on an ongoing basis. This summer we’ll get plenty split and be ready.
@@ouralaskahomestead Good. Do ya'll have a wood splitter? That would help tremendously!
@@patdavis8018 no Craig does it all by hand. The last winter at our old house he fell the trees, drug them outta the woods, cut and split eight cords by hand.
@@ouralaskahomestead maybe sometime he'll consider one
400$ a cord, that’s rough. Keep chipping away at the chores, you’ll catch up.
Enjoy the day.
Buy whole logs and cut them up ,it's cheaper!
How many acres do you have, and is the wood their worth cutting down for your own firewood?jost wondering.
Yes i was wondering that. Seems quite a bit on the property
Only three acres. We will buy a load of logs this spring and process them ourselves so we have plenty next winter.
I don't understand why you don't use your side by side to transport the wood lol
Can’t get it down the driveway, snow is too deep. It just sinks.
Fresh water it floats , salt water sinks
Good to know! Thank you
Think with a few runs you could probably get the Honda in over that snow.
As soon as you get off the little path we’ve made you sink down past your knees. I’m afraid it would just sink and be high centered sitting on the frame.
@@ouralaskahomestead that’s what winches are for!!! Great content, keep up the good work!!
PRIORITIES. Just something to think about.
Yes, leaving for those few months put us behind on prepping for winter but helping family after such a devastating fire was the priority for us.
My Alaska ( Bill ) Just Bought A Mini Bobcat If You Contact Him From His RUclips Channel I'm Sure He Would Be Willing To Clear Your Driveway .... He's Wanting To Get Hired Out Probably To Make Those Monthly Payments On That New Bobcat , Lol .... Goodluck And Let Me Know If He Helps You Guys ?
Thanks ,
Dave From Anchorage .
Bill’s a good guy and I’ve no doubt he’d be willing to help if he could but he’s over six hours north from us. I believe he lives fairly close to Remote Living Alaska and Mitchell’s in Alaska.
well what do when snow that get slick or ice on walk i use sand and spread it on and when melt it all good its just a little sand
I should bring some back from the beach to use.
You need some of those grippers on the bottom of your boots.
I’ve got me some now!
You need to get you a snowmobile and then Blue will UA would slit and then you’ll be able to pull all that Core would through the snow and make it so much easier for you then you won’t have to use your little ass a TV or your other machine with the snow plow you’d be able to move a little bit more faster around the snow if we had a snow snow machine and made your trailer the white trailer to haul wood through the snow
Snowmachine would make things much easier
You have a wood shed do you use the roof for your solar panels
No solar panels yet. It faces the wrong direction. Probably put them between the house and outhouse to get the most sun.
Psalm 30:2-4
King James Version
2 O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3 O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4 Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. Gods blessings are over you .
Why are you not cutting your own wood?
We usually do. We had planned to get a load of logs delivered and process them ourselves but we ended up leaving in the fall. Right now there’s no way to get them delivered with the driveway snowed under. Only option was to get a cord that was already split for right now.
$400 for a so called cord of wood is criminal
Most of our time was spent building the house last summer so not enough prep for winter. This year we’ll be ready. No way I can afford to buy it on an ongoing basis. Would much rather put in the work splitting it myself.
Looks a cold day. Obvious comment huh! Phil🇬🇧
It was cold for sure 🥶
Enjoy the videos. Maybe if your wife would help ? just saying.
She works very long hours at the hospital and when she is home she always helps. She doesn’t really like to be on camera either so that’s why you’re not seeing her as much.
