I love how you turn things into a learning adventure. I appreciate how you listen to and validate your sons thoughts and opinions. The boys will treasure these memories when they are grown and hopefully bring their families to your magical cabin.
Thank you for sharing your family's off grid cabin and all of your exploring the area. Everett thank you for showing us the Eagle. Lauren your bath tub brought back memories for me. As a young girl growing up in the mountains of West Virginia, we didn't have indoor plumbing. Lol We too had a two seater out house. It was a joke in the "holler" I lived in that we had the nicest outhouse of the entire holler. My dad took pride in keeping ours painted inside and out. He would scrub it down and repaint it every year and he kept "lime" dumped into it so it didn't smell. Every five years he would dig a new hole and move and rebuild the outhouse, liming and filling in the old hole. We bathed in a galvanized tub. When I was thirteen we got "fancy" and dad installed indoor plumbing and we had our first bathroom with running hot water that momma didn't heat on the stove. Great memories. We raised and preserved our food each year. You and Mark are teaching your sons invaluable skills for life. They will always be self sufficient and be able to provide for themselves. Again thank you for sharing your family.
Great video Lauren. Thank you for taking us along on vacation with you and your family. The tidepool finds are so interesting. Did you ever find something in the tidepools that were scary ? Hi Luna.
Lauren, I'm always so impressed with your videos. You're such a natural in front of the camera and always keep us informed and entertained. I'm so happy I found your channel.
You are an exemplary family. I think you are amazing, providing a Godly superior lifestyle for your dear children!
Thanks Marina! Glad to have you here cheering us on.
Oh Lauren, what a wonderful video, Thank you for sharing it!
I can't pick out a favorite part, I loved it all!! It just makes me so happy to see a family that loves each other & enjoys doing things together, what a blessing!!! 🌼
omg that is a gorgeous place..looks so relaxing! I has to lol bc I was born in 76 so when you said the cabin was built in the 70's it made me giggle. My grandparents had a Cabin in Luzerne County Pennsylvania that we would spend 2 weeks at a time in summer. everyone slept upstairs it was a huge room with about 12 beds..from single to full size. it's great; but when ppl snore you don't get much sleep lol...we had an outhouse as well. we took basin baths inside one at a time and washed our hair outside..we got our water from a fresh spring that had a protected area covered and we never contaminated it..we'd take what we needed put into jugs & carry it back up to the cabin..there were ppl that lived in the area..but we were secluded. our treat was having the local friends come for dinner etc..but the best was going to Knobels Amusement park. We have 1 last child..our son Jack who is 8..he recently went to Knobels..the cabin is still in the family and used as a hunting cabin as well..but those memories last a lifetime..Your boys will have the BEST memories. (sorry so long) 😐 ty for sharing this adventure!!!
Cooooollll!!! I absolutely loved this video with you showing all the neat beach combing finds, Info and adventures. I think this is my favorite! I can't wait to be able to do this too. Wow. Makes my heart sing and dream of this life. Love your cabin. You went into great detail of staying there and what you had to do to make it more comfortable with the water and shower and more. I wondered about how we were going to preserve the fish that we catch. Neat that you mentioned that you had them quick freeze in town for the trip home. I learned so much in this video even more about tying off the boat to adjust to the high/low tide. AWESOME. Again thing you for sharing your families adventures.
I agree. Please show more of the content.
Thank you for taking us with you on your adventures. So much for
Fun
WOW Everett what a beautiful eagle :)
Thanks so much for sharing your time with us , l love the outdoors and anywhere there is nature ❤️ and l still love learning. Have a wonderful week .
The memories you are creating! Learning so much about Alaska .. this Texan recently found your channel and I'm really enjoying it!
That was a great video of your trip. All the things you found on the shore. Are you ever afraid of a bear coming out while walking on the shore?
Oh wow that was an amazing learning experience. I felt sort of sad that you had to leave the cabin, I felt like I was there with you all. You have a way of really making us feel so welcome into your family life.
Thank you, this is one of my all time you tube vlogs. So much great information about an area I want to travel to.
Your low tide gathering was delightful! So enjoyable.
I just loved when Everett had the camera..and apologized for it being shaky lol..he's such a great kid! love him! The Eagle Show was amazing!!

Love to you all, till next time, Dee from NZ xxxxxx
Loved it we love all your videos but we learned something new thank you for sharing
Hi Friends, what a fascinating place filled with learning! Does the Family actually own the land the Cabin is on?, there doesn't seem to be boundaries. Thankyou so much for sharing this wonderful week away. 💞
We do own the land. It isn’t too big on either side but goes back quite a ways. The cabins down the beach are on Native land and they do 100’year lease.
That was fun!
Also I love seeing your boys outside being kids and not sitting inside. It’s wonderful and the memories you are making is awesome.
Great content! Thank you for sharing it with us 🤗
Wow such a fun time
You all are living the life! 👋
Thank you so much for watching! Doing our best to enjoy Alaska
Wow WOW wow, your knowledge of all the sea life is amazing,and what a wonderfull place to go with your family(although ive seen you at the cabin before) im sat here in my typically British rose garden! Which i love, but oh my gosh what a life you all have totally amazing! Xxxxx🇬🇧💖😄🇬🇧
A really exciting childhood these kids have. Great job.
Yes they do, they are so lucky! We are grateful to be able to raise them here in Alaska!
Fantastic video. Thanks
Very interesting. Thank you
Your Boys are going to have some amazing family memories there! That eagle show was super cool!
Really interesting video. Thanks for sharing x
I would go yabbie hunting on low tide with my pop. He would pump up the sand and my job was to grab them before they burrowed into the sand again. They made great fishing bait.
Always love the scenery and seeing the animals..of the sea and sky. Another great video.
What a great video, Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for sharing this awesome video. It was so much fun to watch. Everybody stay safe and well. Enjoy the rest of your summer.
What a cool cabin you have! Do you guys have to worry about bears eating your food there? Your boys look like they have a blast!
So interesting and a privilege to join you in your off-grid cabin experience. This is something that's rarely possible in a small and overcrowded country like mine (UK), so it was extra fascinating to see how you make everything work for you.
My grandfather was a commercial fisherman, in northern Ontario, this reminded me so much of that. We lived on an island for 4 months in similar surroundings. Love Everett’s part of the video, he did a wonderful job. You are set for fish for awhile, doesn’t get much fresher then that. 😊
just love this video thank you for sharing love from pa
What a magical place for the boys to spend time at and loved you got out on the lake bed at the low tide and created that game with the boys, educational yet fun. Keep up with the great videos.
That’s the ocean. 😉
The SHOWER
That was a much fun to watch🤗
What a Amazing an Beautiful video,,just to see the cabin an the view was Amazing so peaceful. Congrats Mark Wow that salmon was huge. Beautiful eagle. Love how you all explore when it's low tide all those little creatures so neat to see. I can see why you all love the cabin it's heaven. Super Great video. Happy 4th of July to you all. Luna so happy her family back home 💞💞💞💞💞🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Omg thank you so much for sharing your week with us. This is one of my favorites, it was so amazing and educational to watch. It was great to see the boys discovering the ocean life and awesome to Mark catch that king salmon. Alaska is so beautiful. I now, want a piece of Alaska.
hello this looks great looking inspiration
Have you ever touched the wrong thing? Is there anything that can sting you or bite you to cause an Owie during a low tide?
What a neat tradition to spend time at the cabin and make so many memories. And of course, the views are absolutely beautiful.
You are so awesome! I really enjoy watching your videos. You have a wonderful family.
My son's never were the kind of boys who liked getting dirty, so exploring the beach wouldn't be on their to do list. No internet, for a week, they'd go crazy!
Lol that tin bath reminds me of my childhood bath night in front of open fire 50+ yrs ago think I was about 7 when we got indoor bathroom
Me two mine is 69 yrs ago
@@mandywhitton time fly
It cracks me up how much Everett hates wearing shoes. Seems like I never see him in shoes hardly lol
Love this video 😍…..so many fun adventures 😃
I loved Alaska's only winery there in Homer. Brought a few bottles home with us. Next time I want to try that bakery!! Love doing Alaska with your family
"Tide pooling" -- love it! The bitty creatures are the best. Adore your dedication to packaging the fish and the technique. Congrats to Mark! Do you ever use/eat the seaweed in cooking? Thank you for sharing this amazing holiday.
I just want to say your such a cool mom . Your boys have such wonderful things to learn and do in your state . I love these videos .
That's a beautiful place to go, hope your doing well and having lots of fun
I love this video!! You both are wonderful parents!! ❤️❤️
What a great cabin get away!!! Kiddos have a blast!! Fun memories and good food !! Love the painted rocks and the treasure hunting !! Lov love love !! Y’all are so blessed!! 😀😀😀😀😀😀
Gary watched this vlog today. His eyes were wide and he had a great smile on his face. When I asked him what was his favorite part he said "All of it". I had to explain what it would feel like if Mark's All most Record Breaking speared Salmon flew by the window in the Tallons of the Eagle. It would be the most unexpected ending to a good campfire story. A GOOD OL, o schucks story. When you said 75lbs worth of Salmon, I think it clicked how big it must have been. What a bountiful trip. It was so much fun hanging out with your Beautiful Family. The Beach combing was so much fun
One day Mark took his friend Jerry to the cabin for a really quick trip to fix something on the boat. They got an octopus and were so excited! They cleaned it and put it in a gallon ziploc bag to take home and set it on the porch. A few seconds later an eagle flew by and grabbed it and flew away!! I had forgot about that story until I just read this. Thank you so much for spending time with us!
Love it.
Hi Lauren and family i have to say im enjoying your videos i love the views you have its such a beautiful place to bring up your family love from ireland 🇮🇪❤️
Thank you so much!
Wow! What an adventure! Thanks for sharing!
This was the coolest video. So interesting. The fish look delicious and the eagles are beautiful!
That looks like the best way to spend a week with the family ❤️ so nice to get out into nature and “unplug”. That king salmon catch was huge!! And all the tide pool finds we’re so cool to see. Thanks for another fun video
Wonderful video .. so much beauty , lots of adventures and good fishing ! Looks like so much fun . Eagles that close we’re beautiful !!
Love your videos so much!
@24:10 As a newcomer to your channel who happens have a lot time on his hands at the moment, don't suck the air out of the bags. Instead just press down a bit. Works just as good.
Thanks for the tip
So cool to get to see all the different critters! Thanks for taking us along for the adventure!
Question- do you know how Mark's parents ended up finding Soldovia/decided to build their cabin there all those years ago? Like did someone take them there or tell them about it originally or was it just somewhere they sort of stumbled across during their own adventures?
Lauren, you now can bring your big basin tub into the shower house to bathe for more privacy. 😅
P.S. You need to all carry on you a Thermacell Portable Mosquito Repeller, I heard they work pretty good at keeping the Alaska state bird at bay. 😉 Also, I watched a sushi chef fillet salt water fish, he said to try to not use any fresh water after cutting the fish because it will start to break down the flesh causing to to be mushy or less firm, you can even see the reaction if you have to rinse the fish with fresh water then it will immediately start to change the color of the flesh, & if you do then put it into some salt water as it will firm back up the flesh. So, Im wondering when you package your salt water fish catch, if you added salt water instead of fresh water to the baggie before freezing if it would make a difference in the quality of your fish.. Test it out. The channel of the sushi chef is Outdoor Chef Life. He sometimes travels to Alaska to film & now has a condiment product made with Alaskan kelp & chili oil available on amazon & other stores. 😊
Been waiting two days for this thank you Lauren Mark and family xxx
Absolutely fantastic video, jammed packed with fun and education all in one. Congratulations Mark on your salmon victory, it really was an impressive catch 👏👏👏. It's a amazing place for a holiday, but you are also teaching the boy's great survival lessons and how to live in harmony with nature. Have a wonderful week, and a big hug for Luna 💞
I really enjoyed watching this video and all the little sea creatures. Your family is awesome!
Awesome video! Great family time together ! Lots of fish to take home! Love the tide pooling adventures! Beautiful salmon Mark!
What gorgeous scenery 😀
This video was fascinating! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures and knowledge with us!
Good Morning family and happy Sunday
What an awesome family spot for vacations! Y'all are so blessed! Everything is seriously so cool.
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing!
I think that was my favorite video ever! My husband and I always wanted to live in Alaska. We live in NH. We have been looking the last few years to find a getaway cabin just like that. Only we don’t have a plane or boat lolGreat video.👍🏻💓
