I just really appreciate Bo. He's almost always looking at you guys like "I am too effing old for your shenanigans. I'm gonna go take a nap." He is my spirit animal. A very good boy.
Thank you so much ... l will never get to see this on my own [83y-o] but your video is next best thing. How brave of Beau to guard the entrance in case a bear or Godzilla came along.
If you have any real amount of snow, the snowblower is the way to go. It's what we used in Maine when we'd get 2 and 3 feet at a pop. We'd run out of room for snowbanks on our long driveway, that was never a problem with the snowblower. Many parts of Alaska just don't get that much snow, 6 of the last 7 years we just drove over it and packed it down, didn't plow/snowblow once. Funny side note, I was teaching in a Yupik Eskimo village, my roommate had family in Buffalo New York. He showed his students pictures of all the snow they got and they were absolutely astounded. Alaska is lots cold but not many places get all that much snow. Enjoyed the glacier footage and also really like the woodshed.
Great video. Always run your small equipment out of gas by turning off the fuel valve and run the engine until it runs out or gas. Ethanol in gas will plug your carbs solid with muck. I own a small engine shop and see this constantly. Thanks for the glacier video.
Bo is such a loyal and wise old dog, he can feel a lot more and knows so much more than the young Bandit who will run with you without complaining anywhere. If Bo goes back, it doesn't mean he's scared, he's just smarter because not everyone has to go anywhere anytime😉💫☘️
Guys - he is not just an old soul - he has an old body now too. He knows he has limits now that his hoomans may not understand. So he tries to pace himself without scaring them so they don't leave him at home. As long as he can pace himself, he should be OK. When he stops doing that, he may have to stay at home when they go on adventures.
Really like how u displayed the date, sunrise, sunset, & high & low for the day. I think it’d be cool for all your videos given so much of the content is outdoors. Especially garden related videos. It just gives viewer perspective, & helpful if you are not watching as they’re released or going back to older ones. Oh & that dog is awesome! Bo u rock
Gotta be careful using warm water to melt ice on the windshield. When I lived in NY I 100% shattered mine when trying to get out quickly because I was late and thought it was smart lol.
I love that you guys have so many projects you’re working on/in the middle of and you still make time to explore the beauty and adventure together. Such a healthy life balance, what it’s all about, happy trails!
It's amazing how much work it takes to just take care of the necessities - but it's good work! Love that the woodshed is doing so well -and beautiful shots of the snow and the glacier! :)
Just wanted to thank you for sharing the astounding beauty in Alaska with us all. If done right won't have to go far to get a moose for this year. Already looking forward to seeing the next video. Blessings stay safe and warm up there
My wife at the time about 30 years ago and another couple talked about moving to Alaska, but never happened. I really wanted to go. So I continue my life here in Florida dreaming of living the life you two have made for yourself. Keep up the great work, you guys are great to watch. Take care
Your dogs are just as crazy as you both. Wow I'm glad I live in florida...burrr. Please don't take that in a bad way.. that is so beautiful. I'm so glad you're taking us on your journey. I would never see this if it wasn't for you both. Thank you so much 💗🙏🤗
You guys are living my dream life. I'm still stuck studying at uni for another 1,5 years but your videos are pulling me through. Love from the Netherlands!
I am like Bo. I would have sat outside and waited for the family to return. Wow! that's a lot of shoveling. That little truck is a work horse! Thank you for showing me a little piece of Alaska.
Who knew it would be so much fun watching 2 people work their butts off. Bo is such a chill dog. I don't know if he totally trusts the pack leaders judgement haha
Hey you two. Love your videos! I live on 6 acres in Minnesota and was thinking of giving this lifestyle up, but your videos changed my mind. You guys give me so mush inspiration. Thank you.
Cool video :) - Neat to get to see your place here "overall" and how things connect more too. And just how you've got things set up for winter. Nice looking wood shed, I agree :)
That Glacier was amazing, what an experience that had to be. It's weird to have such an overwhelming "homesick" feeling for a place I've never been. Alaska has always been and will be my dream destination. I thought with my wife living there for 8 years that she would want to move back ~ nope. Thank you for helping me to live vicariously through your videos, I am really grateful. Haven't enjoyed any snow for the past decade since moving from Ohio to here in Oklahoma. I know it's a lot of extra work but it was always nice to have and helped to insulate. You two are such a good team, you're a couple of go-getters for sure. ~God bless~
I so get what you say here...but lucky me, have been here most my life (formerly Okla!), live near these guys, have been to Byron....I even have a Ranger. Your heart is on the right track and I truly hope you have a chance to see this place yourself.
@@susanapplegate9758 Thank you so much, it is so beautiful there. Since I was about 9 years old, I've been in love with Alaska. I did a book report on it in 4th grade and that is what started it all. :)
Those moose hanging around while you were taking care of the snow were just waiting for you to clear out so they can back to your garden haha. I would put the fence back up if it was me. Nice snow toys you have.
Thank you for the hike and adventure! Storm ! Oh boy!! Wood shed looking great! A lot of work! $2.39 / gal....not too bad, but I imagine that could all change...getting ready for the big snow!
The glacier is amazing!! Thank you for sharing that. Alaska is truly a beautiful place. I’m sure the snow creates a lot more hard work but it is beautiful. Stay safe from NC.
One of the things I enjoy about your videos is the beginning when you list the temperature and sunrise and sunset. I find that so interesting. My family and I live in Pinellas County, Florida. We just went through a pretty nasty tropical storm this week. I love the difference between where we all live. You guys are exploring a glacier and our high temps today are 85F with lows of 71 F. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us
I lived in St Pete for 13 years (from '82 to '95). Haven't been back since but miss everything that area has to offer. The only thing I don't miss is making the trip between St Pete and Tampa (where I worked) on the "Howard Frankenstein" bridge. When they opened the new bridge it wasn't quite as bad though. Take care and enjoy Pinellas County for me.
i'm like bo's age in human years, and i'd be like wtf am i doing at my age. i just love that dog. i've watched several video's and bo's expressions are priceless, it's like oh no ffs not again, leave be alone let the ole boy sleep.
Having trained a lot of dogs over the past 25 years, I am quite adept at reading dog behavior and expressions Allow me to interpret Bo's expression at, during and after the glacier hike.... Don't EVER make me do this again!
Congratulations again to the couple I admire the culture dai!, The wife is always present with the husband in the achievements of the very good couple a strong hug to both Brazil connected in you hehehe
Thanks for the video. All that fluffy snow make me a little jealous. We have a few more weeks to wait in Utah until we get enough snow to go snowshoeing.
You have such fun toys -- six wheel Polaris, two snow mobiles, a snow thrower. Admit it. They are not tools, they are toys. You enjoy scraping the snow off of things. You love hitting the snow off fence lines. Admit it. Bo and Bandit are such wonderful pets and good companions. You also enjoy being with each other. It is so silent right after a snow storm ----- when the snow is still in the trees. I love walking through two foot deep snow. I know, I am like a 76 year old kid. It is so fun when it first snows. I love it when it is really cold outside, like at night, and tshirt weather by the wood stove. One time I was standing by my wood stove in my long underwear, in the cabin, surrounded by new snow. I heard scratching on the closed door into the kitchen. It was spooky. The only thing I could imagine was Big Foot. My heart started pounding. Something was in the kitchen. Something was making scratching noises. I grabbed a ski poll, holding it with the point down. I jumped up on a big chair and swung the door open ... only to find a very tiny little mouse scratching at the door. It was so cute I had to laugh. The eiry silence of new fallen snow does strange things to the imagination. Have I ever told you the ghost story of Kibal Charly..............
I am just truly Amazed at how beautiful our home Earth is. That Glacier was Amazing. I could almost taste the pure Cool Water and feel the cold and smell the clean air. Thank you so much for taking us your subscribers on this Beautiful Journey. Adore you both! Kindest thoughts from Australia xx
Wow...loving the glaciers & those caves. Watching you clear the snow off your homestead was chillingly beautiful...but you may keep it all there. Not looking forward to that crunchy, cold, frozen tundra. Yikes. You guy's are doing a bang up job.
Just finished walking my dog in my shorts and a t-shirt. Not to rub it in or anything :) Sonoran Desert is wonderful winter weather. Several decades ago I lived in Kenai. A lot like you guys are living now. I was a much younger man. Watching your videos brings back a lot of memories. You guys have a safe and happy winter season :)
Stunning! Thank you for taking us along! You are not the only 1 having trouble with snow blowers this year..lol It amazes me how people lived in this type of area's 100+ years ago..1000 years ago.. no machines to help them.

Never say never. Bucket List for Barbara.
@@PopsieLouisiana59 OK .. Your lips to God's ear, with an end run around some roomy-tizzy :)
I love your appreciation...you have a young heart for sure ;)
Smart dog. Beau say " Feel free to leave me at home. I'll watch the fire."

Aren’t they the same age, though? Thought I saw in another vid that they’re both 10 years old.
@@mcohen8025 they are.
I’m with Bo waiting at the entrance!
I thought Bandit was older. Bandit is the one with the white beard. Beau looks so much younger to me.
Beau/Bo has such an old soul. I really can relate to him.
yes. me too. i would never dare to walk into that cave!
@@angelat4639 He ain't no dummy.
I so agree with you!!
I heard him say, 'Hey guys, next time let me tend to the chickens.' Ha
Guys - he is not just an old soul - he has an old body now too. He knows he has limits now that his hoomans may not understand. So he tries to pace himself without scaring them so they don't leave him at home. As long as he can pace himself, he should be OK.

I hope Bo wasn’t too tired after the long journey. He’s the goodest boy! 😘
*_"Bo got scared"_* ... He is a gentle- or genteel soul, isn't he... ♥
This is one of the few channels where I cant wait for long videos. Really enjoyed getting a glimpse of a Alaskan life.
A wise old dog, Bo is. He knows what's good, and what ain't. Woodstoves... good. Glacier caves... not so much.
The pattern on the ice @8:45...Bo?
Smart fur baby. Teaching the other real baby!!🙏❤🙏
Beau is the younger one, right?
Bo is such a good sport, he’s an old boy but still loved his adventures
How old is he? I thought Bandit was the older one
The cave is beautiful!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Carhartt should definitely sponsor you guys!
I thought they did.
That would be very nice! :)
Shopping is limited and Carhartt is sold at Fred Myers (our version of Walmart). 👍
@@AnAlaskaHomestead do y’all have Tractor Supply Co? They carry a lot of Carharrt
@@syd3086 no not where we are.
I love Bo. What a sweetie. Bandit seems carefree . Both so loyal. Enjoy your posts
Just cannot express how much I enjoy your videos. God bless. :-)

Poor Beau. He is precious too! I love how you share your family with us
Thanks for taking me with you. How beautiful our world is...Many greetings from the Netherlands! Enny
Now, winter has come when it snows in earnest~
It's busy, but it's so nice to have a couple together!
Be strong and healthy~!!^^
What a marvelous life you get to live! Thank you for taking me to a place I'll never see in person!
Nothing stops Bandit! He seems very adventurous...
Wow! Those glacier's were just unbelievable ! Beautiful🏔️
Gotta be careful using warm water to melt ice on the windshield. When I lived in NY I 100% shattered mine when trying to get out quickly because I was late and thought it was smart lol.
yeah.. this is my exact thought lol i was always told that it's bad to do that.
Awesome wood shed!

My husband & I always wanted to go see Alaska, but he passed away. I found you guys about a month ago. I love to see your adventures. Thank you.
That glacier was just so amazing and beautiful.
What an awesome video! Thank you! I’m always looking out for your next one
All I need is snacks something to drink and I'm ready 24/7 to binge all day on your great vids. Love love love your vids.
My wife at the time about 30 years ago and another couple talked about moving to Alaska, but never happened. I really wanted to go. So I continue my life here in Florida dreaming of living the life you two have made for yourself. Keep up the great work, you guys are great to watch. Take care
Your dogs are just as crazy as you both. Wow I'm glad I live in florida...burrr.
Please don't take that in a bad way.. that is so beautiful. I'm so glad you're taking us on your journey. I would never see this if it wasn't for you both. Thank you so much 💗🙏🤗
I love the Byron Glacier Ice Caves! Love watching your videos when you go explore areas. Gives us great ideas for our weekends here in Anchorage!
Great channel! just checked it out!
Byron is so close to Portage, it is great any time of year !
@@susanapplegate9758 So true!
Poor Bo, he’s gotta look on his face like, “we gotta walk some more?” Lol
He said Mom and Dad y'all go ahead I'll stay here. It's the first time I seen this one it's beautiful thank you.Mama Long Greenville Tx ❤️🥰🙏🏾
"this is glacier water right here..... hmm surprisingly a bit warm.. and salty.... BO!!!! NOT OVER THERE!!!
I just love the both of you and your adventures together. Thankyou for sharing. Love from Southern Idaho.❣️
Wow from someone who lives Sub-tropical climate that glacier was beyond belief - just amazing WOW !!!!
Always interesting, the Byron Glacier is amazing! Thank you for beautiful filming, and editing 😊
You guys are living my dream life. I'm still stuck studying at uni for another 1,5 years but your videos are pulling me through. Love from the Netherlands!
What an amazing, beautiful video! Almost 30 minutes of Alaskan beauty!
I am like Bo. I would have sat outside and waited for the family to return. Wow! that's a lot of shoveling. That little truck is a work horse! Thank you for showing me a little piece of Alaska.
Great video. Nice to see you go for a hike and enjoy yourselves instead of working all of the time. Take care and stay safe. XXX
You are such hard workers! Enjoyed the glacier beauty and the reality of snow off-grid.
I love your channel and videos. I ordered your calendar today because of the high quality of your photography. I know it will be beautiful.
At 58, all that snow is way too much work for me! Glad you are young, healthy and strong!
Who knew it would be so much fun watching 2 people work their butts off. Bo is such a chill dog. I don't know if he totally trusts the pack leaders judgement haha
Bo is so cute! Hope his paws are ok on those rocks!🐕🐾What awesome caves so beautiful😍❄❣

They're the rocks that were crushed from a glacier. Not having much time in the Stream to round off edges.
😂😂😂😂
Is it ok for his paws to be going through ice water with no time to dry off and walking over sharp rocks?
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
I've never trained dogs, but I got the same vibe from Beau. I also trust dog's instincts without question...I would have been right behind him. 😃
Congratulations again to the couple I admire the culture dai!, The wife is always present with the husband in the achievements of the very good couple a strong hug to both Brazil connected in you hehehe
That Ice Cave looked so AwEsOmE!!!
What you have created is so beautiful. I could watch for hours.
So happy you guys have a woodshed this year!
That glacier is just spectacular! 😲
Wow, pretty amazing!❤️❤️✌️
It's remarkable how many structures you two have built in such a short amount of time!
Thanks for the video. All that fluffy snow make me a little jealous. We have a few more weeks to wait in Utah until we get enough snow to go snowshoeing.
Poor Bo...not the most adventurous of your two dogs. Love them Both!
“You can see where the glacier has collapsed😳Beau was the smartest one....just sayin’🤣
Nice to see someone whom can spell the dogs name lol!

Thanks for sharing Eric and Arielle. Beautiful place this time of year, some day. Thank you.
Beau might be my favorite dog! Alaskan car wash, indeed!
Poor Bo I would be scared too. He did really well going up the rocky terrain
I had to add.. the Glacier was incredible
Fascinating to see the inside of a glacier! Enjoy all your video's.
Bo living his best life!
Wow so beautiful to see the snow falling. Chickens look nice and warm:)
