Supply Run to the Old Cabin | Hatching Eggs & Planting Potatoes
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2025
- We retreat to our old place to pick up a load of soil with the hope of harvesting a crop of potatoes this fall, while in town we have a laundry list of errands including picking up hatching eggs with the ultimate goal of expanding our flock once again. Sometimes life during an Alaskan summer can be hectic but we keep on trekking.
We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀
Thank you for watching and supporting our channel! 💙

Can you have too many chickens? We think not 🤪
It turns out it wasn't too late to toss a few potatoes into the ground, fingers crossed for a good harvest this fall. What is your favorite veggie you're growing in the garden this year? 🍅🥕🥔
We hope you enjoyed coming along for our day packed full of errands!
~ E & A
Tomato’s 🍅
All of them. 😊. First time leaving a comment on your channel. I've been watching you 2 for a while. Enjoy your new place.
🤣
A nice variety of tomatoes is my favorite this year. Also, birdhouse gourds. Wish me luck on a nice harvest.
What's The Reason For Feeding The Chickens The Wet Chicken Foon And What Is In Your Mix 🙌🏽
@@bradleeferrell917 are Tomatoes A Vegie or Fruit 😅
My favorite channel ❤️
I so totally agree!!!
I love to watch them when I need to decompress from the madness
Mine too!
I wish they posted more often, they are the best.
Amen to that. 🙏🙏👍
You two get more done in 24-48 hours than most people can do in a week. Your new place will be great as you build up. My wife has become a real fan of you. She refers to you as those nice Alaska people. She really enjoyed how excited Ariel was about eggs. Be careful and safe. Till next time...
Ya they get stuff done… did you see the gallon of coffee?😂
@@ramaicacarper6281Many of us love our coffee. It isn't like they're on methamphetamines. 🤦♀️
You two are amazing together, your videos are my favorite and look forward to them.
Wow - I am subscribed to many gardening/farming/homesteading channels, yet this is the first time I’ve ever had the sweet pleasure of watching hens scoop the eggs underneath them. Now that was so endearing! ❤
It is very sweet to watch that.
All I could do was say "Awwwe" when I saw them pull the eggs closer to them to keep them warm.
What are you going to do with the old property? Sell it, rent?
It would be really weird if a hen didn't want one of the eggs and pushed it over the edge. So unnatural.
💚 So exciting all those hatching eggs for the broody hens! What a beautiful drive to your old place and back..it's SO beautiful up there. Love your little potato patch. 🥔 Will you be bringing the high tunnel and more soil to your new place?💚
The ladies are so funny when you put a new egg in. They just tuck it under and smile. Thanks for the video, always love the way you treat your dogs.
I love how all of their animals are family.
Wow! Lots of thumbs up for that. The Hedemora is a rare Swedish chicken breed and a great addition to any backyard flock. They’re docile and good egg layers, laying up to 150 eggs yearly. The breed is also believed to be the world’s hardiest breed.
Good info
Even in the midst of frantic errand running we still get some drone footage of a stunning Alaska spring! Love Ariel’s chicken talk! I can hear the excitement in her voice! It’s coming together a little at a time!
Poor Bo, has to be lifted in the truck. You know he’s thinking; mom, don’t film me, the other dogs will laugh at me! 🤣 As always, beautiful scenic videography from y’all; mixed with plenty of homestead how-to. Y’all rock it every week. 👍
Hug to those doggies!
You two Rock!
For all the soil amendments that you have done that soil is golden!
These folks make Alaskan self sufficency look simple but these two are an exceptional team I think . Thanks for showing us what is possible . And how to thrive not just survive !😍🙂
Super late spring over here in Vermont as well, we lost about 95% of our local apple crop here about 4 or 5 nights ago, when the weather went down at night to 23 degrees F! It was supposed to be a light frost, not unheard of in beginning of June in VT, but we lost apples, blueberries, and most strawberries of local farmers and the little guys like me, of course. So sad, but it's that kind of year, and for every loss there's something to be learned, I think. I love that you're planting something on your new property, so cheering, and such a beautiful piece of land. I look forward to your videos, the nature and animal shots, and of course your sweet, sweet animals. Thank you!
Another beautiful road trip with you.
I know your next garden is going to be fabulous, but the lack of one at the old place is a bit sad. Can't wait for the new garden plans and beautiful veggies and flowers. And the nature footage!! Spectacular!! Awesome video as always!💕
I was shocked at how quickly without an active person around to care for it, mother nature was going to take it all back. The old place looks like it's waiting for it's next family to come, a little sad to see it like that
I am so looking forward to seeing how they develop the new garden and property, though! Change has to happen and you can see how happy they are!💕
@@jjallie18 me too!
Yay 🎉 another video!!! Just can't get enough!!!
I love chicken ... I love how the mama's care for the eggs and chicks ... and I love when mama stands up and and all the little chicks come running out from under her. So dang cute!!
Good evening from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures in life
Thanks for showing Bandit and Bo. You know I am the biggest dog fan 💯🐾💖✔️. @Simple Living Alaska
LOL I just KNEW you guys wouldnt be able to resist at least a small garden!!! And Im glad of it.
You are truly my favorite channel. 💯🙏🕊️❤️🌻🌻👍 I have really enjoyed watching your videos while I recovered from Cancer. Thank You for sharing your experiences with me. You are an amazing couple. 💯💜❤️🌻🙏🕊️☕👍
Very happy to come home from work to a new video!!
The cinematography is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing this with us.😊
Hens are so sweet when they go broody. I love the way they seem to cuddle the eggs. ❤. The old Place looks so lonely. It served you well. When I was a member of the local grange the grange master planted a large garden every year and he planted it in straw bales. Everything from rhubarb to zucchini. For his potatoes he'd make a cage from wire, place some of the straw in the bottom, plant a couple of potatoes and fill the cage up with straw. You'd probably be able to find the details on line. He raised some beautiful vegetables. Love to all, human and critter, Lori from Springfield. ❤
Oh I must look into this. I have no space left in my garden but a bay ale I could use!
at least some potatoes!!!!🤛 can't wait until the new garden!!!
Alaska is beautiful! Thanks for sharing your 'fast lane' life and beauty of the state with us.
MAKING PROGRESS EVERY DAY, I LOVE THAT
Thanks for taking us on the road trip! I’m glad you have a small garden for the summer. I know Ariel is such a good gardener and a “plant whisperer”!
Bo knows... Bandit's ready! They're such GOOD boys. Always ready to travel and "help". When it's time, haul that tractor down to strip the garden soil and load it, m'be even the compost pile too. Good to see the chicken gangsters are out on bug patrol. I'm with you, summer time is cold brew coffee time. I keep two 1/2 gal jugs on hand and rotate the grounds screen basket between them. A lot smoother tasting coffee with cold brew too. For multi-day road trips, camping, etc. freeze up batches of cold brew and use that as your ice for the cooler. Exciting to see how the new place comes together.
new babies on the new place wd
Im a born raised city person but I love your videos. I am really in awe of all you do. Look forward to your weekly blogs.
I love how seeing how your energy increases when you talk about your animals and garden!!! Excited to see what hatches!!! 🐓 🥔
You live in the most Beautiful part of Alaska
with the greatest scenery all around you and
it is like a dream come true Thank You.🤠
The chicken clucking softly as she maneuvered the egg underneath her feathers was so endearing! I was wondering if you’d load the tractor to fill the trailer. But no, you did it old school!
Potatoes and tomatoes plants a few of tomatoes for you to enjoy in the summer time !!! BLT'S are what I am thinking of for you !!! Rhubarb will transplant A Okay for you bring that rich black soil with you and it will grow great !!!
I absolutely LOVE the broody hen episodes! I just giggle...Arielle you are an excellent hen mama!
You guys are my trip to alaska
Its so funny, as long as Eric has coffee he can accomplish anything!😁Love that you’re getting more chickens can wait to see all the new babies 🥰That soil really does look awesome, I would definitely bring it all to the new homestead in time. Love your videos ❤️So happy to see them come up on my feed. Have a great day guys!🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼
That cup of coffee in town really made Eric smile!
Your videos always give a loving family like vibe!!
The mountains and rivers are beautiful. Love seeing the wild life. So glad you had a safe trip. Are you going to sale the old place sometime?
Thanks for offering an escape from the world. God Bless you guys. You inspired me to start my own garden by the way. I used raised garden beds and absolutely love them..
It's sort of sad to see the garden that way. I know you have plans, but i remember last year how crazy it became. Oh well, on to new things. Also, I started laughing way too hard when I saw the name of the cat door. Chubby Cat 😂😂😂
I love how he just keeps working and let's her jabber. It reminds me of my husband and me when we are doing something together. 😂
Like 👍before i see the video😉 You are amazing ! Thank you from Greece!😎
Road trip!! 🛣The aerial view of the mountains was so majestic. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Peace.
Never want your videos to be over❤
Looks like you marked a lot of things off your list. Good job.☮️❤️ I hope the bees are going to do well.
Your channel is my favorite. Reminds me of my husband and I when we were your age. We sawed our lumber and built our house. We have always worked well together.
So glad you are able to gradually take and reuse what you need from your old property. You are really multiplying your potential with being able to continue to work with the property and projects on the old property for plantings, and hope it produces for you both! Best of luck with the hatching eggs! Can’t wait to see them ❤
I love broody mamas and the way they roll and tuck the eggs. So cute.
Hello!
Chicken math = never enough chickens.
Wow! Mother Nature is amazing
I love my early morning wake up calls to get ready to hit the road !!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
THANKYOU from Ipswich Queensland Australia. I love every addition of National Geographic you film and post on here for me and all other folks worldwide who will never see Alaska any other way than thru your lives. Big hugs to you both, Eric & Arielle and Gods richest blessings of provisions and protection for you and your creatures and homestead. Travelling mercies also for every day. 🇦🇺🤗🙏💞✌️👍👊👏🇺🇲 He knew you before He did knit you together in your mothers womb.
Rain, broody hens, garlic, berry plants, potatoes, fencing and a compost heap - it's beginning to look like your home! YEA!!!!
Thanks, Eric and Arielle! Today, I learned so much more about chickens! Maybe, just maybe, if I were younger, the knowledge would help me eliminate my fear! 😉 Can’t wait to see the little hatchlings in 3 weeks! 🐣🐥🐔As for the slower growing season, we have experienced frost here in New Hampshire in late May and early June. Set farmers back as some young plants were lost and fruit trees were damaged. My brother, further south in New Jersey had to wait to even start his tomatoes… climate zones appear to be shifting. Your drone footage was simply beautiful as always!Thanks again! Oh and once again your planting of potatoes brought back sweet memories of my youth as we always had a hardy crop! 💞
Love you guys and your attention to your special fur babies.
Love your quick adventures with a wonderful cup of coffee. Brought tears to my eyes to see the high tunnel standing there looking lonely. Glad you are taking some of your good soil. I know you are transitioning to a new home with new adventures but seeing the old cabin tugs at our heartstrings. Love any news about your chickens. New adventures. Red currants and wild raspberry jelly is one of my favourite things to eat. So lovely to get currant bushes. Great video of the beautiful Alaskan wildlife.
16:26 This man is a unapologetic legend. Let's go.
My Rhode Island Red hen hatched two chicks two weeks ago and then I gave her 6 more eggs that should hatch in another week! My rooster is a Barred Rock. Both breeds lay lots of large brown eggs, so I hope most are hens because roosters go to freezer camp. I keep the chicks separated from the rest of the flock for the first three months. I have a separate area inside the hen house.
I'm from kahoka Missouri i love how you all share your videos to us all over the world
I'm so excited to see you planting ANYTHING! Was kinda sad when you said you wouldn't be gardening for awhile, so YAAAYYY!! You two are the best kind of humans!❤✌My favorite veggie in the garden this year is a kind of pumpkin with no shells on the seeds. It's called "Kakai" from Baker Creek Heirloom seeds. Also "Kajari" melon from same company. Seeds from them are always fantastic, fyi.🍀P.S., Your chickens are so adorable😊
The cinematography is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing this with us.. The cinematography is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing this with us..
The worst part of this post... Having to wait 3 weeks to see all the Babies😍 So exciting to see what hatches. I grew up with chickens and can't wait to have them again one day. I will just have to live vicariously through you tubers until then lol
Was upset to see the old garden and was missing the harvest already. Thank you for setting out "something" for us to watch being harvested.
It must be tough to walk away from all the infrastructure you put so much hard work into. But if you need to move on, it's best to do so while you are young enough to "weather the storm". I wish you two all the best, as you move onward to the next chapter in your life. Take care Eric & Arielle🚜🐔🐓🐣🐤🥚I'm growing broccoli, wasabi, and peas for the very first time, but my two favorites are tomatoes(Cherokee Purple) & peppers(snacking small ones called Lunchbox red, orange & yellow). 🍅🫑🌛🌜👍🏻✌🏻
E & A: I am new to your channel but cannot get enough of watching you two amazing kiddos! The LOVE and RESPECT you have for each other is wonderful and comes through on your videos.
I find myself watching all day long, gobbling up your videos, for this old retired gal, I find myself laughing at your great sense of humour!
You are both such hard working and so knowledgeable, articulate and great looking pair.
Seems both of you are amazing chefs in the kitchen including a food item to cook or can, you make me hungry! I am so impressed!
Love you both, I hope sometime soon we'll see some babies? God Bless and Keep Safe in Alaska.
Beautiful broody hens. I learned something new from you, I never knew that brown eggs were crossed with another breed. I’m loving the new property .
Not ALL brown eggs...just their brown eggs, because the Icelandic chickens they have don't lay brown eggs.
@@joannathesinger770 Makes sense. Thank you.
Fantastic viewing every time can’t wait every week for this
As always you deliver the most exciting videos to me. I get so excited to see a video pop up and I have the stop what I'm doing and watch it. Ariel u captured Alaska's beauty in your filming and I just want to say thank you for sharing your life with us.❤
Loved seeing Bandit's pond at the old house! He worked so hard to make it.
Exciting weekend for y’all! I can’t wait to see how many potatoes get harvested and to see those new chicks! This is a channel I look forward to all week! Blessings ❤️
Your channel and all you.put into it is the the highest quality I can find. Thanks for sharing all you do
We hope you let them hatch some babies❤
Ya'll sure have become professional videographers over the last few years. The musical interludes are great as well. Really enjoy you sharing some of your life!
Just minutes after I was jonesing for a new episode of your Alaska adventures you happened to post this one.👍🏼 I hope you get a good hatch of new chicks and the perfect mix of male and female to select from and build up your numbers.🐣🐤🐥🐔🐓
Ohhhh thank you for all the scenic video!! It is fabulous!!😊😊😊
Alaska has spectacular views thanks for sharing to some of us who unfortunately can't make the trip.
It's always exciting to see what your plans are next.
Hopefully you'll have a lot of little Chickies before to long.
Be Blessed 😊🇺🇲
I just wanna thank you guys for always including footage of your dogs; I'm autistic and one of my obsessions is dogs, and Bo in particular always brings me such joy
By far my favorite channel! Any other plans for the old property?
Yes we have some work we will be doing down there!
I love the positive coffee vibes “ooh that’s a good one, Let’s go!!” And “we’ve got coffee, so anything is possible!”
You guys are an amazing partnership for our youth to aspire to.
If potato’s have an extra long chit, plant it lengthways at same depth as others. No need to go as deep as it is long. 👍🏻🥰🥰
A proud woman from Sweden here!!
Silverudd blue and Hedemora eggs! 🤩👏🏻👍🏻 I've got silverudd myself! Fantastic lovely little girls!!!
Did you bring the bird feeder you made in honour of your cat that passed up to the new place?
We plan to ❤ his name was Hunter.
@@SimpleLivingAlaska sorry I forgot his name. Sweet Hunter, a piece of his spirit will be with you.
My goodness, I love clucky hens. That little noise they make.
It's funny you get 5 chicks then they grow up and you get a few more then you end up with a rooster. And your hens want to sit and you let them because nothing is cuter than a momma hen clucking to her chicks......🐤 before long you're up to 40! Then you think next spring I might get ducks. 🦆 😳 😁
I love watching chicken brood over their eggs! It's so amusing and u got some really nice eggs! The old place is in bad shape, just more proof of how hard u worked to keep it in shape 💪💪💪! I'm know ur grateful for the rain even without ur amazing garden! 💓💞💓💞
It made me kinda sad to see the old place getting broken by the weather.
We will be back to fix her up ;)
Thank you. Love watching.
I thought that your new cabin was further north from the old one? So why does the snow go away faster up north?
I always enjoy your videos. Thanks
👋😎👍
Another breathtaking drone scene with wonderful music accompanying. The broody hens seem so willing to do their duty. Your black Tundra is an endorsement of the ruggedness of Toyota trucks. Love your episodes.
Hi love y’all pls pin ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Also first
When I was running the sawmill I worked on several CSA farms. Sometimes the logs had been on the ground for a long time. The bark would fall off the slabs as you stacked them. The chickens knew that was the dinner bell ringing. They would be on the slabs in a minute to eat the bugs that had made a home under the bark.
A&E 😢 I never knew how attached I had become to the old homestead until I saw it again and it looked so abandoned and lonely. I can accept change, but somehow this one was hard for me. "We" put so much work into it, putting on the siding, laying the concrete floor for the stove, building the bathroom and outhouse, planting, reaping, canning, cooking. Man it was a lot of hard work "we" did at that place over the years. So forgive me if I shed a tear 😢 for leaving it. Sigh! I wonder if I'll ever see our little cabin in the woods again.🤣🤣🤣 I am sure you thought you lived there by yourselves and did all that work just the both of you. Oh no, you have a gang encouraging your efforts. Be blessed🙏 and stay sweet ❤ 😂
Alaska is so beautiful. I'm glad I can say I've been there and seen the beauty firsthand.
I like the positivity and reminder that anything is possible that I get from watching you 2. Your chemistry and how well you work together is inspiring as well. I've watched you guys for years, and hope there's decades to come!
For a city girl. tis is a first I have seen on eggs and chickens....very interesting....thank you.....
Dont drive to long, its not safe to drive if ur tired ✌️
Dont want to lose one (2) of my favorite youtubers ✌️
😊😉🫠🙃🙂❤️💜🩵💙💚🙏🙏🙏this is my favor channel to watch because you both are so adorable together and I just enjoy watching the way you both take care of your chicken and your adorable dogs your friend always Rosa olbera from Texas it was 105 hot here today and all week it's going to be in the 100 I am so glad for air conditioning lol
The old place looks sad and lonely. I hope you find new people to love it.
