- Fall in Alaska provides a bounty of wonderous food from the land. We forage high up in the mountains for Blueberries and Huckleberries, and low down in the woods for Winter Chanterelles and High Bush Cranberries. Back at the cabin we create delicious treats and canned food for the winter.

That "turkey tail" mushroom that you identified..you didn't say if it's edible... ???
Missed out last year but not this year I’ve ordered a calendar!
Thanks for everything you’ve done making them.
Hard to believe that it's that time again. This will be my third calendar. I really like them. 🙂
@@maryclendenin8565 it is and has good medicinal uses. Look it up.

Alaskans are incredibly territorial of their berry picking spots. My parents have had the same mail lady nearly 30 years, and once they asked where she went to pick berries and she didn’t talk to them for 3 months! 😂
Wow
hahah that seems a little extreme considering there are literally berries everywhere up here!! my backyard is filled with blueberries and raspberries during the summer. They're like weeds up here, can't make enough pies or jelly before they're back!
@@devinbrita3770 you are blessed fr. am a bit jealous
Maybe the mail lady thought pick berries meant something else.😳
@@devinbrita3770 Wow nice
You two should seriously consider a second channel just for cooking!
You drive me crazy seeing the scrumptious food you cook from scratch!❤
I'd love a cookbook! They make the healthiest dishes. Living in the states, you are bombarded with crap that's not good for you.
@@desireedusseau1769 also with all the preservation techniques it could be epic
I can't believe it has been 4 years!! Seems like yesterday you sold the farm and made that long trek to Alaska!! I feel fortunate that I have made the journey with you by watching your videos. You've come a long way and I love it. Can't wait to see your winter trips to the remote cabin!
I know, right? I had just discovered their channel because we got chickens & then they had to give away their chickens etc & move.
I live in the country on a few acres but have city/urban people here on our street that built huge houses & think we should be subject to HOA rules & called the county out on us 5-6 times.
But last time we allowed the inspector in our barn/garage to take pictures proving it was a livable space & the county no longer records their complaints.
I so wish we lived on 10-20 acres in Alaska.
Right? I’ve followed all the way👍 🤩. 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
I’ve been watching going on two years now and can’t believe their accomplishment’s, it’s unbelievable and absolutely luv every time I see they’ve posted a video, lol 😉❤️
I snagged a Calendar to show my support. Thank you for all the many pleasant hours watching your adventures! -Vince
What can I say? You two are about the best homesteaders on You Tube and that's a fact! Another Excellent espisode that I thoroghly enjoyed....Thanks so much!🥰👍👍👍
What a life!! Fishing!! Picking blueberries!! Foraging for mushrooms!! Can't get much better than that!!
And what to do on day 2? :D
@@nicknic28292490 woodworking, fishing, trapping!! Righttt!
How fun that Beau can pick his own berries!
I was just thinking the same thing. So cute telling him how he can pick them himself. I loved it. 😂😂
@@tahbooge beauteous Beau
My Goldendoodle Lucy loves to eat the blueberries right off my bushes. It is soooooo cute!!!
Remember, he caught a fish too!
Are his teeth blue?
Beau got the hint right away and had his own little blueberry party. 🥰
I love that Beau catches his own fish and picks his own berries! 7:25 so cute Beau browsing. Bandit is the builder Beau is the hunter gatherer. Roasted Poblanos will add a nice smoky flavor to your bbq sauce
He really is a special man 💗
My aunt & uncle had a chihuahua who loved picking huckleberries!
I like how Eric plays up to the camera all excited when he finds mushrooms. He's such a fun guy.
"Fun guy"...I see what you did there!!!🤣
Nice one..."fun guy".
@@ostrobogulous1 You are either a fan of Ross from "Friends" or a Science Geek. Either way is GREAT. made me giggle.
@@beckyp9700 Thanks! I'm here for ya!!!😁
@Ostrobogulos & @Becky P I know Arielle and Eric like a good vegetable Pun! 😁
I love it when you post videos on Sundays. We enjoy watching them on Sunday evenings with our kids. 🙂
That's so cute how your dog harvested his own blueberry snacks! Beautiful colors on the land!
Alaska is stunning this fall, I just started watching your channel about a month ago and i have just finished watching all of your videos and I'm glad I have watched all of them because you manage to capture some breathtaking footage of Alaska, you both are so amazing at all if the tasks you have accomplished in ur cabins and garden, I hope you both have another amazing year in Alaska, thank you so much for the wonderful content you both put out.
Thank you 😊💗
Just had surgery and can’t lift or do any physical work for a few weeks so I’m foraging along with y’all “mentally” 😂 thanks for taking me along ! 🥰😍 hugs to those pups!
Oh WOW! It’s really fall… such beautiful colors! BLUEBERRIES RULE! Eric & Arielle, thanks for bringing me back to my youth when we’d pick our way up the ski mountain in NH and ride the chair lift down with all our buckets full! My mom would use the picker! THANKS! 🫐🫐🫐
You two are just the best. Incredible blueberries, mushrooms and deliciousness. Terrific production as always!
All those Blue Berries in Alaska in that cool spot and not a single Bear 🐻!
What an awesome score !!!!
😁👍
Beau picking his own blueberries brought me so much joy 😂❤ I also cannot believe Bandit is 13!! He still acts like an excited 1 year old.
I believe the dogs are getting a great dog food of natural goodness right from nature, it will make a difference in their health.
You guys so awesome. I watched love is. Have you own garden. Home make. So peaceful. Thank you. Appreciate 😀❤️
I'm going through a hard time so I really needed this, thank you ❤ Love from Hungary!🇱🇺
So sorry friend, we in America are praying for all humanity through these torturous days, praying for these leaders to compose themselves and make wise, courageous decisions on behalf of the people on earth. They want our vibrations down, let us rejoice together and lift our vibrations high in a victorious way. Much love to you and your family and friends, know that you are loved!
OMG - Beau is amazing, LOL! The way he’s picking and eating blueberries is hilarious :-D
Bo eating the berries was too cute.
You folks make me hungry every time I watch you canning up you harvest. You two make a wonderful couple. You compliment each other. Love you channel.
Beau is such a precious, gentle boy. What a sweet soul ❤
My mom would make us go out in the rain to pick blueberries at our old cabin. We were pretty grumpy about that. Maybe if there was fresh coffee and that beautiful view? Great video, as usual. Bandit is a rock star. ❤️
Hooray! I’ve been hoping you would post a video! Thank you!
Autumn in Alaska is beautiful! Those berries are amazing!
highbush cranberry is definitely an underappreciated plant. glad to see someone out there is collecting them.
Great harvest! Alaska is breathtaking. God bless you and your family 💖
Blueberries are the very best berry! The bushes are soft. No thorns. And they are
Delish!
You two just amaze me on your survival skills, and living off the land. Arielle was right when she said you learn by getting out there and then research. Bo amazes me on how he makes up for being his laid back self by foraging and fishing. Bandit, however, is out running a marathon and hunting.
I hope you love and peace and strength.❤️
Oh my gosh! You are in full autumn. So gorgeous ❤
Wow so huge of black raspberries picking in the mountain it was really like it and enjoy pick fruits berries, i love mushroom full of health benifits . ❤❤❤❤❤ 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
The slow shots panning the ground texture really amaze me. I am entranced by the way you capture the slow beauty of whats around you. Thank you both for being an inspiring team and I am so grateful we can see Alaska the way you guys do!
Yes, exactly AB; ..."capture the slow beauty of what's around you" says it perfectly. There are so many of her video shots over the years that have stayed with me that can't be put on a calendar.
I've been using this recipe for over 20 years! It's from the back of the Martha White Flour bag! I have used every kind of jam known to man to make it - even used Nutella once! It's a family favorite and at Thanksgiving it's made with homemade cranberry sauce! Oh! I'm getting the calender right now! LOVE your show! You and Erin from Wild Wonderful Off Grid are the SMARTEST ladies on RUclips!
The colors changed quickly up there in God’s country!🍂🍁
Nature will provide as long as one looks, listens & learns. I’m a chicken, I’m to afraid to forage for shrooms, so I end up paying an arm & a leg for store boughten mushrooms.😬 Thanks for uploading the video. Cheers, Doc✌🏼
Watching Beau reminded me of my mom's little American Eskimo dog, when it was just a puppy, eating blueberries off the bush when we were picking. The dog and Mom are long gone now, but it was still a great memory.
Truly inspirational. You guys are living the life.
Ordering a calendar as soon as the video is over. We love Alaska and enjoy Ariel's photography of a much loved state.
You two have definitely made Alaska home! The old boy does great for his age. I can’t believe how fast the last 4 years have gone by. I started following you just before the big move. I always learn something from you both.
Southern Oregon we have another couple weeks before the chanterelle pop or the yellow feet.
I loved watching Bo eat all the berries he wanted. So cute. Bandit is amazing at 13!!!! He is so healthy :)
Aw, love seeing your dog delicately pluck and eat blueberries
Beau picking blueberries 🫐 is probably the most wholesome thing I have ever seen 🥰
My favorite RUclipsrs!! Always so happy for a new video from you two. Beautiful Autumn Alaska!
Old man Beau is wise in the ways of picking berries. It's so cute haha! Loved the video, thanks for taking us along for the ride 🤟
Those fall colours are just gorgeous. Thank you, thank you for showing it to us. One day, will have a fall visit to Alaska.
Hallelujah! The Lord provides. Learning what you can forage and eat is such a great and worthwhile skill to have.
I was really hoping you would have a video out today. I just love how you go out and harvest. Makes me wish I was a little younger. Thank you for taking us along on your adventure. You make my day. Give Bo and Bandit a hug for me. Take care. Love you guys. Have a blessed week❤️🍁🍂
I love the excitement you have when foraging for your food! You guys make my day.
Bo eating berries right from the bush is so cute
I'm ordering 2 calendars. I discovered a couple weeks ago my son subscribes to your channel also. So 1 calendar for his place and 1 for me. Thanks for sharing all the beautiful things in Alaska!
Spending the day out on the mountains looks heavenly! I am happy you are getting in some nature before the snow flies. Be well!
You have the clearest voice I've ever heard on RUclips; it might be a weird comment, but that's the first thing that popped to mind when I clicked on the video!
Also, subbed for sure. How could I not? Happy people living an inspiring life!
You guys remind me of one of my favorite childhood books. Blueberries for Sal. ❤
Such a great book! My kids love it!
Tim Horton coffee ... Yummie. I remember it from when I visited Canada. And their cookies ... amazing delicious.
I love how you both savor your food and how you seem surprised when it’s delicious. I love your videos.
Always such a pleasure to watch you and the dogs on your adventures. We found some huckleberries in Colorado this summer, but nothing like the harvest you're getting up there. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures with us, hope to get to a point someday when I can retire and enjoy similar adventures. Appreciate you! 🙂
Cranberries and rose hip’s together make a wonderful jam
You both are so amazing. I love your channel. Your area is so beautiful. But everything our Lord touches is that way. ❤️ Foraging is a very useful skill to have. You both have many important ones. Thanks for the videos :)
Karin, even the parts Jesus didn’t touch are so beautiful. In fact, a godless universe is exactly like yours, just short a god. Never miss it.
@@oldpossum57 The world you are referring to is one I want no part of. I serve the God of light not darkness.
Those autumncollors whow🍂
You guys have given me the perfect end to my week, thankyou!
nature is so amazing and beautiful providing life for all.
Love your beautiful videos, your babies are so cute and smart, thanks for the beautiful scenery and day of blueberries picking and mushrooms hunt, and the glorious food, y’all are blessed with the harvest. Much love to all ❤️🙏🇺🇸👏
I watch lots of your videos,love the Alaska life,love you guys.
From South Africa
Fall is awesome! I ❤️ the way Bo picks berries. My kinda guy. Enjoy yourselves...winter is coming.
Looking over at my 2022 calendar right now. Love the photos you chose for it, will be picking up the 2023 for sure. Only one of the years I worked up there did I get to see the tundra change colors in the fall and it's absolutely gorgeous.
A beautiful video; my grandchildren are learning to forage. I attended a foraging class with them. I know they'll love this video. Thank you..
the landscape shots were simply amazing! Autumn is really colourful I really enjoyed this video.
Have been watching you guys forever. A couple of times a week my wife yells out "there is a new Alaska on" We normaly go up to northern Quebec and eastern Algonquin park in Ontario to pick. I don't think that we have ever seen so many blueberries as we did on your last video. I have never been there, but my Dad drove a motorhome up there and told me that you really have to be there to witness the beauty. Thanks for bringing us so close to everything that is so breathtaking.
This was a great day with you two...gallons of blueberries and mushrooms (I would never tell a soul about that secret berry spot.) The close ups were beautiful, especially Beau picking and eating blueberries - he's such a sweet guy. Then, we had joy in the kitchen....again! Thanks. Suzi
Wild blueberries the health benefits are wonderful
Nice seeing Bo have such a good day 🙂
Those blueberries are huge! Those are the size of the wild high bush blueberries I forage for!
For being such a young couple you guys are really self sufficient I think it is amazing. Great job.
Alaska's bounty never surprises me great score on berries and mushrooms,and rose hips. Your camera shots are amazing.👍🇺🇸😎
Happy 4th year! Many more happy ones to you both 😊💜💜
Thank you 😃
Blueberry Pancakes, Cobler, Pie, Jam. Awesome. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you for the jam bar recipe. You two rock the homestead lifestyle.
Love fresh, mountain blueberries. We used to pick them in the Ozarks of Arkansas. Nothing like fresh blueberry pancakes with blackberry syrup.
Autumn in the tundra is always sooooooo beautiful. Thanks for taking us with you.
In Eastern Canada. Blueberry Season is in July in Ontario. August- mid September in Nova Scotia.
Cranberries are harvested in October. Just before Thanksgiving.
Glad you were able to harvest so many blueberries this year. So late in the Season. They sure love the rain and plump up from it.
Thanks for sharing your jam bars recipe. They look delicious.
Thanks for the videos.
Yay! I love your videos when you go out to forgage. Smart to put a bell on Beau's collar. I am thinking the calendar would be the perfect Christmas gift for my parents. Thanks again for another great video! ♡ from Korea
It’s amazing how much the earth provides for us if we learn what to look for. Watching Eric enjoy his food is always entertaining lol.
Absolutely beautiful! I would love to order a calendar, your photography is amazing. Those blueberries are making my mouth water, they look delicious.
What ever you do don’t leave us. I learn so much from you. Take care. Hey are you going to the cabin soon??????
You work so well together it's great to watch you two on your venture. Your lucky to have each other...
Love to see what you forage . Our blueberries are done in July..Humm
We purchase your calendars every year! Love y’all, get so many compliments on the pictures Arielle! You’re so talented girl 🤗
Wow! I was amazed by the amount of blueberries. But then I saw all of the mushrooms and was about floored. Great haul!
Aw I love how energetic Bandit still is at his age. And amazing calendar! May have to pick a bunch up for Christmas. 😍😍😍
Love wild Blueberries! Great job foraging.
Another great "getting out there in nature" video. I'm so envious of your wild blueberries, although my (june/july) wild blackberry harvest was epic. I didn't can too much though, and regret it.
We mish blackberries, yum!!
I’ve been watching for years and now I’m moved up to the valley so to go from not really knowing much to seeing familiar places in the videos is pretty neat :)
Love it ❤
When using the blueberry rake you get some leaves. Pour the Barrie’s into a second bucket in front of a fan. The leaves will blow away while the berries are heavier and fall into the second bucket.we pick them in Grande Cache AB. Canada. Works great.
Love your channel 👍❤️
Loved this episode! So many blueberries! Since you can create your BBQ sauce with anything, I might suggest some cinnamon in it. Those bars look amazing!
Hi! I'm a new subscriber. Timmy from Truck House Life spoke very highly of you on his live today and even recommended you. Which I is rare! So far, I'm loving it! I'll never live in Alaska or even homestead again, I'm a little too worn for that. So, thank you for letting me live vicariously through you ❤
That turned out to be a SUPER GREAT trip!!!😎😎😎 I Love seeing the food y'all make!!! 😋😋😋 All of it looks SUPER DELICIOUS!!!💯💯💯 Much Love from FL 💖💞🌴💖💞🌴💖💞🌴
you many never see this post...but, cranberries and biscuits are one of our favorite holiday breakfasts. Beautiful fall colors!
