One of the best videos RUclips has . This is what life should be . Very lucky children to be in a family that works together like this. Wish I had a jar of that right now!
Man those kids are growing up great this is how we grew up helping around the house and nobody was to young to do anything because thats how rhey learn and become experts in anything theyre doing man your amazing parents bravo bravo bravo.
Nothing makes my heart sing than the "ping" of a canning jar sealing. I think I'm in love with your pressure canner. I now have 2 - 22 qt canners in my pantry.
I just loved when we used to butcher a deer. Always had so many people helping. Hope your family enjoys it as much as you do! Awesome canner! Blessings to you
This is simply awesome! Is it work? Yes. From the hunt, to field dress, to butcher, to process/grind/canning. It is ALL work! The trigger press is the easy part! But knowing you have YOUR food prepared the way YOU want it is priceless! Congratulations on every aspect of this video! I LOVE the way the kids are right there with you doing their part & not complaining one bit! The dogs were cracking my UP! LOL
People dont believe me when I say one large animal can feed a family for months. This is beautiful, and it's a life my fiancé and I want to live and teach our children ❤️ my family is from the islands, i was raised in an american city, but I swear my heart belongs to the forest and mountains and I want to live off the land as well as give back to it. This is absolutely beautiful.
You could make your own broth from the trimmings, all the connective tissue you are trimming is full of good collagen. Also the bones. It’ll take a bit more prep, but you could eliminate adding industrial produced broth from your own food and get rid of some unneeded chemical preservatives.
When I clean small game, the legs, liver, kidneys and heart go in the freezer. Every other bit of meat with bones goes into the crock pot. Day 1, Pick the meat off the bones and pick the tallow "cookie" off the top to use for frying. Day 2 is soup.
Love from India. I love canning.

Love your canner, thought I had some nice equipment, yours is incredible! We raise our meat and last year we butchered an ornery bull, steaks and roasts were so tough I ended up canning it all (including the prime rib roasts) just like you guys did - stew & chunks boy is it good and so nice to have instant meals!
I didn’t watch all the video but I loved the thumbnail. Reminded me of me and my brother having to do stuff with my dad haha. Hated it at the time but boy do I appreciate and look back on it fondly now!
That's the most amazing pressure canner I've ever seen.....ever!!! If I released the pressure in one of my canners like that, I'd have blown-out jars. Also, don't be cranking on those hotter-than-boiling jars. If one goes, you'll be in a burn unit! I know you do a lot of jars, but be cautious. Only one mistake can leave forever scars.
Yeah, for my (lowly by these standards) 23 quart canner, I would get siphoning (where the contents can "volcano" out of the jar) if it comes out of pressure too quickly. I would do my pressure canning towards the end of the night, then just turn off the heat and let it slowly cool overnight. Never leaks. BTW, just an impressive setup they have there. I'd love to have the opportunity to do a moose hunt.
Those "hotter than boiling" jars are not under pressure. They are boiling like that because the have sealed and are under vacuum. But, you're right, the rings don't need to be cranked. Just a fingertip twist would be plenty.
I loved how I just came across your video again as I’m about to can wild game for the first time. I would love to get to your level someday. Awesome job to your family, you are raising them good👍
great informative video re: next level moose processing... I would be interested in seeing info video how to fabricate the oversize pressure cooker & how you test it to trouble shoot & verify safety
Having your children helping doing cleaning or cutting some chunks of meat is really cool... Because they learning about being helpful...great video I really enjoyed 😎
That canner is amazing. Great job all around! I'm envious of the amount if meat you are anle to harvest from,a moose and the gear you have for home processing. I'm in East KY, and even our biggest deer isn't a tenth of that. Great job! I'm editing my venison canning video myself today 😆
👍Amazing. I love how everyone is involved in the process to truly have an appreciation for the food...from beginning to end. Interstate homemade pressure cooker. Fantastic. Thanks for sharing. 💝
Just recently came across your channel and love it .... great family outdoor country living and I love how your boys are involved in everything you do so they will grow up very well educated in day to day life ! Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see all your new adventures !
That’s some serious financial investment into processing equipment, but I guess distributed over the years and amongst family members that benefit from it makes it a more viable option.
Just randomly came across your video, damn it! Now I have to go back and watch all your content, we have the same interest! Thank you for taking time to film and post the video! May God bless you and your family!
I really don’t have a reason other then I think it helps make a better seal, my wife tells me not to tighten them. I know the books say not to do it but we hardly ever have a jar not seal, also I go greater then finger tight at first and then back off to finger tight.
You want the bands to be loose so the jar can burp the air out so you get a vacuum seal once it cools. Then you tighten down the bands to make sure the lid is protected
@@diyalaskanlifestyle That operation is a well oiled machine everything! And one can see the joy and pride( for lack of a better word) in doing this as a family and in knowing that the family is well taken of for the year with some to give away as well!. I was so inspired by this
Great video! I love seeing people using the gifts arounds us to their fullest! Sure made me hungry, though... lol God bless and keep showing us how it's done!
I met a man in the Marines that is from Alaska and from listening to him and watching videos like this I have to say....I am so proud of you guys. You live on some of the least hospitable land of this great nation and you smile doing it. The indomitable American spirit is alive and well in our Northern brothers! God bless!
Man that is some serious canning going on there.... I noticed when I use my normal sized pressure canner they say to gradually let the steam go or the stuff you're canning can blow back out of the jar or explode.... I noticed yall had it still cooking in the jars when you pulled it out so be careful!
As a mom of 3 boys and the wife of a hunter this makes me so happy. Here in Hawaii i have no need for industrial sized equipment, however I need to say this is family goals and processing goals for sure!!! Subscribed in hope for that canner build video! Blessings
You doing this work as a family is awesome, your children will make for good providers for the families they go on to have, knowledge is survival when passed on & implemented
I agree with you! It's disgusting! Pets shouldn't be allowed near the food that's being prepared! If that food was to be sold, a food inspector would immediately shut down this operation because they really don't respect the rules/regulations of sanitation! It's beyond nasty!
@Gladiator Max6 First off I did not lie I never said the butt lickers touched the food!!! I said the were to close to the food and prep area were they do not belong!!! I would not want to ever eat at your house nor know your house hold!!! I stopped using a small pizza shop cause I walk in see a dirty cat on the counter were pizza's were made... The Health department closed them down guess other people like their foods clean too...
Carhartts, bunny boots, moose parts, dogs. You guys are legit. Longtime Alaskan and just found your channel) :) Good job! My very first week in Alaska (1970) I helped pack out moose quarters from Hope. Lotta miles since then and still completely in love with Alaska
i find it funny that these alaskan dudes put on rubber gloves when processing meat,(kudos for that) whilst some tv chefs stick their bare hands in literally everything.

Thank you
I’m not often impressed...But, I “can” everyday and know how much work went into canning all that. Loving the canner especially.
Many blessings💜
Never put your meat in trash bags or freeze then unfreeze only to refreeze it again
Respect for having the whole family involved. Such a good trait for the kids to pick up
Thank you and thanks for watching
Man those kids are growing up great this is how we grew up helping around the house and nobody was to young to do anything because thats how rhey learn and become experts in anything theyre doing man your amazing parents bravo bravo bravo.
I've been canning for decades, when our family was all home I'd put up 1500 plus jars a year. I LOVE your canner!
Nothing makes my heart sing than the "ping" of a canning jar sealing. I think I'm in love with your pressure canner. I now have 2 - 22 qt canners in my pantry.
That’s one heck of an operation you have going there. I love how the whole family got involved, just awesome. Sending blessings from Australia 👋
Thanks for watching
Great video on the whole process from start to finish, from Ireland
Amen!
Do you sell any of it?
@@josephfontaine8595 no, it is illegal to sell game harvested in Alaska including fish
Nice to see all family included in job. Good equipment also. Greetings from Serbia
Thanks for watching
That is incredible especially the pressure canner you built!
What a handsome family you have ! Thanks for sharing this process.

@@diyalaskanlifestyle I'm still looking forward to a pressure canner build video. I'm still seriously impressed
Canning is truly a lost art! Hope to see a video on the pressure cooker. Great video.
Love this video. Love the family and love that you guys looked out for someone else.
Thank you

Wish my canner cooked that many jars at one time, genius! You have a hardworking team to help too!
The Weimaraner stole my heart ❤️
God Bless!
All I can say is WOW, mind blown. Awesome job
I love how you’re involving your children!
Thank you, it is important for them to be involved and learn how to work
@@diyalaskanlifestyle I totally agree 💯
The Alaskan way of life... its hard to live there ( im Alaskan born and raised) they are not involving them they are teaching them to live
Earn ya keep. And learn to survive and provide.
Free labor😂😂😂
One big Alaskan happy family and very nice video thanks for sharing .
Okay, so now I've got canner envy!

I was thinking dog food, added to the internals you don't want to eat. Dogs would be happy and no waste.
I worked in hotels. They used to do it. They had a massive pot slow cooking for 48h. Very nice at the end
Wow, very impressive operation. You all have this thing down. Enjoy!
This is amazing. I love how everyone is involved teaching the old ways
Love from India. I love canning.

Thanks for watching
This is AMAZING. Puts my All American to shame, lol. Truly Blessed . And so Awesome the Family pitches together. Allot memories to be had👍
Thank you, this psi cooker saves a lot of time last year we canned 7 jars at a time if I remember right
I was very impressed with my American when I did 16 qts at a time lol .... now I want one of those !
I didn’t watch all the video but I loved the thumbnail. Reminded me of me and my brother having to do stuff with my dad haha. Hated it at the time but boy do I appreciate and look back on it fondly now!
When its comes to to persevering meats you folks don't mess around ! Great way .
This process was so cool! Thanks so much for sharing!!! Great Team Work!!!
I am incredibly impressed. It's cool you guys gave away 3/4 of the moose. You guys are AK life goals
That's the most amazing pressure canner I've ever seen.....ever!!! If I released the pressure in one of my canners like that, I'd have blown-out jars.

BTW, just an impressive setup they have there. I'd love to have the opportunity to do a moose hunt.
@@500dollarjapanesetoaster8 that's a good tip to can it in the evening.
It is not recommended to tighten the rings when using regular flats (as opposed to reusable) after taking them out of the canner.
Those "hotter than boiling" jars are not under pressure. They are boiling like that because the have sealed and are under vacuum. But, you're right, the rings don't need to be cranked. Just a fingertip twist would be plenty.
That is impressive, I would of never thought of building a giant pressure canner like that. Taking it to a whole other level.
Amazing work and excellent team effort from every member of your family! That’s the way it gets done in our family as well. Love the canner!
Thank you
I loved how I just came across your video again as I’m about to can wild game for the first time. I would love to get to your level someday. Awesome job to your family, you are raising them good👍
Thank you, we just put another video out of smoking and canning red salmon if your intersted in that
Think you'll do a video on how you made your canner? That's impressive.
Yes I will, soon
Yes please!!
Would to see it too
Yes, pls!

Yep
It's good to see the whole family working together.
Dude we need some plans on how to make that pressure cooker. That is epic.
I wish I had a family like that and so glad to see the kids working as well and not just sitting around.Awesome video.
Definitly a family affair...love that the whole gang is involved in Operation Moose!

Can we call it "Operation Bullwinkle"?
Love the way you got the family involved so they know how the food is made glad they are not squeamish
That pressure canner is a BEAST! I thought I was cool with my 14 quart All American.

I literally cringed when you released the pressure on the canner. I really expected the lids to blow off. Yikes!
Same!
Same! I thought there'd be a lot of siphoning.
Me too
Me too. Jars exploding, siphoning, etc.
I agree no one should try that at home 🤣
