Mind you, I’m 68 years old. But I remember when I was 7 and caught a Northern in our little cabin lake outside of Duluth. It was a skinny little thing but my dad let me keep it. I was shaking with weird excitement and the photo my dad took of me holding it up caught my equally weird expression. It’s a classic. And yes, we ate it. My dad wouldn’t have it any other way. With bones. ❤️❤️ A thousand thanks to you both who continue to make me look back to my amazing dad and how he would have so loved you.
It’s sad to see Bo struggle, old age catches us all. We just lost one of our ACD’s we got both of them at 8 weeks that was 18 years ago the surviving sister is also struggling as well. They become your kids cherish the warm days for Bo’s old bones. Having the pleasure of your videos since you guys left Oregon the fact Bo and Bandit are almost with you guys no matter the time of year or the weather says it all about your guys character 👍🇺🇸🎣
In the Netherlands it is the same…..nothing on the tv! Like any other day of the week…. 99% of watching “tv” for me is spent on YT/Netflix and all other things like that. I only watch tv when I know there is a nice film on or a tv show I like. Wish there was a 24/7 simple living Alaska channel 😂✌🏻😜
Eric and Arielle it a couple of years and I must say that I've watched nearly every episode that you have released on the channel and it never gets boring! Really really enjoy watching.
New thought about it before while watching your channel, but my youngest great granddaughter's name is also Arielle. Never heard that name before and now know two people.
I’ve recently been going through some issues with my health. Watching your videos almost wipes away my worries and calms my spirit. I love the simplicity and authenticity of your videos...they take me back in time to a simpler way of living. Thank you for being a comfort in my life during a difficult time for me. ❤️
My favourite part was a hungry Eric saying the fish taco was HIS right before he gave it to Ariel 😂 true love right there ☺️ Really felt it when you lost the first batch of fish! Whenever I forage food I immediately almost taste it and start imaging all the ways to cook it so I can only imagine the disappointment ! Turned out well in the end though ❤️
Tip for the jet foot... instead of replacing the liner, sand most of the grooves out and use the shims to raise the impeller to a business card clearance. You dont have to replace it till you cant shim it anymore.
I'm so happy every time you upload, and enjoying very much this alaskan summer all the way to Germany! Thank you for sharing it with us and keep on doing what you're doing! :)
Greetings to you and my homeland..born German my parents are German lived there for 31 years (NRW) immigrated to the states almost 14 years ago! Stay blessed 💕
I'm glad we ended this beautiful day at the cabin fishing. I csn't believe how beautiful it is. I truly enjoy out timeat thecabin, good coffee, good food, and the best fishing. You really know how to dhow me a good time. Thank you, and God Bless .you. Love and Prayers
You videos is always enjoyable to me, the view of the lake when you were fishing is more than beautiful, it's extremely awesome and your videos are always the best in showing us how we are blessed with such a pretty vivid nature and we should be thanking God for it every moment of our lives.
This couple is very interesting. They are the most collaborative, industrious and productive folks that I have ever seen. The videos give me a wonderful window into what I wish my world could be like... if I was only 40 years younger with their energy, strength and endurance. Informative, inspiring, peaceful and quaint. I just discovered their channel yesterday and I have been watching them for hours over the past day. They will make wonderful parents to some very lucky children some day.
N.Pike are always fun to catch & eat ! Those pesky Y-Bones, I was taught twice, and forgot twice ! I don't catch too many where I live ! I love you guys, you are down to earth REAL PEOPLE , DOING REAL TRIPS IN THE WILD !!! I'll keep watching, if you keep posting your video's !
Good evening from Canada! I've never commented before but am a long time watcher. Lots of great pike info here for sure, but having lived in a mecca for pike all my life my only meager advice is that if you want the biggest (i.e. The Beast) of pike (as water temperatures warm up) the best way is to drop a dead bait (e.g. smelt or other local fish - 8-10") on the bottom and wait. Boring as hell but super effective. The big boys are mostly scavengers and not hunters. You guys are livin' the dream, thanks for sharing with us.
What beautiful scenery!!!😍😍😍 That fishing was intense!!!😎😎😎 I Love it when y'all get shots of the planes landing and/or taking off from the water!!!💯💯💯 Much Love from FL 💖💞🌴💖💞🌴💖💞🌴
My son when he was 8 and about 4 1/2 feet tall and fishing for well about his 10th time caught a Pike that was the same size as his height. No one could even believe it. He of course needed adult help to get it into the boat, but apparently the fish just was very calm and not fighting which made me a bit nervous about it. Like was it sick or something.....And it is still a very wonderful memory. And it took a bit to eat that fish, we split it up with several of the fishing friends and it was very tasty. We have a picture of him lying down with the fish beside him. And it was also very thick around like a human thigh like your monster you are describing. So it is possible to get one :) I so love the Lakeside Cabin Adventures. Makes me feel like I had a little needed vacation as well. Thank you so much as always for taking us along. hugs
Another vid from my favorite channel you guys are spoiling us! Excited to watch this adventure of yours after I just got done spending 7hrs in the garden repurposing materials etc to build my own tomato and cucumber cages (several!!! 60 tomato plants and 20 cucumbers etc) I’m beat from the east coast heat and starving lol looking forward to homemade chicken and shrimp fajitas, a glass of wine and your video! Sending many blessings 😊
MY FAVORITE CHANNEL HANDS DOWN! I told my husband "sorry babe SLA has a new video gotta go in and watch it". 🙂 Absolutely love your fishing/cabin trip video's. You guys are SO fun to watch!!! #addictedtosimplyliveingalaska P.S. I hope you guys decide to put out a recipe book. Love our calendar but would LOVE LOVE LOVE a recipe book with your homemade hamburger buns, tomatillo recipe, cowboy candy oh I could go on and on and on. Great job guys on this video!!
Ive been fishing my whole life, pike as well. The reason why you're catching so many big pikes is the time. They are extremely active around twilight, as they prefer colder water (around 15°C). They, especially the larger ones, will simply hang out in deeper waters until it cools down, and then come up once the sun is starting to fade and the water becoming cooler again. So my tip for future trips: Go for other wish while its sunny, go for pike at dusk.
@@frederickmoller but Pike are invasive and they must be kept, no catch and release pike in Alaska. It's probably same in other areas/States. In NY they are in Bear Mountain streams for sure, remembering catching those vicious fish, not my fav but when off duty, not commercial fishing, we had our fun recreationally. I absolutely enjoyed this episode, I was rooting for them to catch the "monster".
Thanks for the great videos. My long time fishing buddy and I head out to Kitimat tomorrow for salmon, halibut, and ling cod, prawn and crabs. Looking forward to it after a 2 year hiatus.
Hello from Virginia. Canning mustard greens today. Raspberry jam too. I have chickens now. Think they will lay soon. 6 hens 1 rooster. You have given me inspiration.
I actually swatted by my face when you guys were talking about the mosquitoes. They are horrible here in Minnesota as well. They are missed in the Winter…
Aw Bo is such a good boy. I’d highly recommend giving him full spectrum CBD oil on the daily for his joints! It literally changed my 21year old cats’ life, he can now jump on the bed again with ease and everything. Love your doggos I can’t wait to move up to Alaska someday 😍🙌🏽🐺🌲
Love the drone shot as you guys were leaving. Cool perspective on what the territory looks like up there!! How beautiful!! Was hoping to see the rocky creek you have to wade through😉. Thank for sharing your life up there.
I have a friend that is from Alaska- she said she really misses it so much. She wishes she was still there. Can’t wait to give her the name of your channel, think she would love it!
"Pretty painful when it hits you in the face and you're going 30 mph" oh man!! That is rough. Super excited to do this with my partner and have some kind of fishing cabin experience(s) someday too. Really loved this video, all the ups and downs made it exhausting for the family I'm sure! But those tacos! 👌
Love your videos!!! On your hollow body frog, count to three before you set the hook. Your hook up ratio will improve greatly. I have been fishing only scum frogs for bass going in ten years now! The three count separates fish dinner from moose burgers!!!
I just love watching your vlog. Besides being such an adorable couple, I've learned so much about Alaska from you all. I also love the education you both give to me from gardening tips to how to clean a fish. Not that I'll ever use that tip, haha, but nonetheless good to know. I think it's the time for you all to build a huge room addition to your homestead cabin. You can add an inside shower, sink, and commode, but still have them supplied with water like you do now. You need that for the winter time. Enjoyed the video! 💞👏🙏
The plane landing on the water reminds of the time you came to the cabin, by plane, cool experience.....the drone shots were awesome 👌 Don't kick yourself over lost fish, it's food for everything else, but lesson learned....Spectacular vlog tonite 😀
Wow! Love your channel. Beautiful filming, editing, the drone footage is amazing. You two are truly talented. Blessings and much aloha from Oregon.☮️🌎💜🌎☮️🤙
Bandit just kills me with his energy level. I wish I could have the energy level he does at his age. Great trip! Glad y'all got some pike this time around. If it weren't for the chickens, do y'all think you'd consider spending a winter at the cabin? Also, what happened to Bo's back? Hope he's ok.
Curious about what happened to Bo's back? The fishing was awesome. Do you leave a light at the trail head so you can find it in the dark? Perhaps you can make up an all natural bug repellent? My parents toured AK and also talked about the voracious mosquitoes. One tour bus was stopped dead by a moose leaning against the engine to drive off the biters. Will you be going back to some glaciers? Those are my favorite videos.
The lure you took off your pole and said it was a crank bait is actually a Kwikfish . Usually used for salmon and steelhead fishing . Just an FYI . Love your show
Your channel and my other favorite, Sampson Boat Co, uploaded your episodes within my Sunday morning here in the Philippines - so my Sunday got to be five stars from zero. Thank you very much Eric and Arielle.
When your using the plastic frog try this: Once it hit count 1-5 and than set the hook. Took me a few times to figure this out but once you count to 3 or up to five then set the hook my catch ratio increased like crazy. Enjoy watching you two!
Also try cutting some of the tail off. I would say about half, It seems to help some as well when using the frogs 🐸 and rats 🐀. Good luck fishing and enjoy your time at the cabin. God Bless
Rubber frogs "do not" hold up to a northern pikes teeth... they are designed for bass that have totally different teeth. Try replacing if you insist on using a rubber frog, replace the rubber legs with strips of pork rind or strips of beaver tail. Your frog will last much longer
Another great video. Y’all are by far the ones I look forward to every week. I once had a whole stringer of bass eaten by turtles in Texas. It sucks when you lose fish😤. What happened to my buddy Bo’s back? Did I miss a video?
The one thing I don't miss about my three years in Alaska is those damn Mosquitoes!!!! Another great fishing trip. The Pike fishing makes me wish I was back in Alaska!
We call mosquitoes the "city birds" where I live because our town is surrounded by wetlands. When we moved here, the neighbor called them "bats" and said "don't get carried off by one." I thought he was joking until dusk. Lol
I sure hate to see it fade out & y'all are gone but what an exciting video!!! God's handiwork is sure seen by the careful editing you do! It's gorgeous there. Thank you so much for sharing your blessed life with us!! We appreciate you all! Bandit, walking on the side of the water, you sure do love your fur babies. I do too! Love y'all & pray for this life to continue in safety & health, as you're alert & aware in Jesus name, Amen. See ya next time...🙏❤️🙏🤗🥰🙏❤️❤️☝️👵
Another great adventure in beautiful Alaska ❤️. Pike is one of our favorite fish too. Some days I wish I had half of Bandit's energy, he's just so fun to watch enjoing every day & adventure. I just want to spend one lazy day snuggling Bo he's so sweet. ❤️ from Michigan
I couldn't help but notice a big chunk of Bo's fur had been shaved off his back as he was leaving the cabin near the end of the video. I hope he is okay. I remember about a month ago he was mysteriously missing from a couple videos. I am guessing he may have had some kind of surgery. I hope Bo's doing fine. He seems like such a sweetie!
No surgery, just a small skin issue. Bo is doing fairly well but he does prefer to spend a good amount of his time indoors and usually that is why he may not make it into a video (simply because we are outdoors). We appreciate your love for him, he is a sweetheart ❤
I could only imagine how hard it is to fish and film....but thank you for doing it! I LOVE the real life filming....odd camera angles, and all. It really takes me back to being on the water fishing!
Mind you, I’m 68 years old. But I remember when I was 7 and caught a Northern in our little cabin lake outside of Duluth. It was a skinny little thing but my dad let me keep it. I was shaking with weird excitement and the photo my dad took of me holding it up caught my equally weird expression. It’s a classic. And yes, we ate it. My dad wouldn’t have it any other way. With bones. ❤️❤️ A thousand thanks to you both who continue to make me look back to my amazing dad and how he would have so loved you.
Precious memories!!! Love hearing it, delighted! God bless you & yours ❤️❤️🙏☝️
It’s sad to see Bo struggle, old age catches us all. We just lost one of our ACD’s we got both of them at 8 weeks that was 18 years ago the surviving sister is also struggling as well. They become your kids cherish the warm days for Bo’s old bones. Having the pleasure of your videos since you guys left Oregon the fact Bo and Bandit are almost with you guys no matter the time of year or the weather says it all about your guys character 👍🇺🇸🎣
Nothing on TV in the UK this evening and I been thinking to my self its about tile for simple Living Alaska to release a video. Thank you.
Spy who loved me on ITV!
TA Outdoors is another great channel. His Dad is hilarious!
Never anything on the telly here in the UK 😂
And even if there was, I'd much rather watch Eric and Ariel!
Try smacking the top of the television and then cracking open a beer.
In the Netherlands it is the same…..nothing on the tv! Like any other day of the week….
99% of watching “tv” for me is spent on YT/Netflix and all other things like that. I only watch tv when I know there is a nice film on or a tv show I like.

I found them when I was laid up after a bad car accident. I agree. The videography is amazing and just keeps getting better.
Many Blessings
Bless you and your health many prayers
I've been disabled for 10 years. Watching them reminds of how life used to be.
Ditto to that post
Thanks for taking us along!
The underwater fishing footage was absolutely amazing!!!!!
It is amazing right? For a second I thought it was a frame still and when it shoot away it scared me 😂
My favourite part was a hungry Eric saying the fish taco was HIS right before he gave it to Ariel 😂 true love right there ☺️ Really felt it when you lost the first batch of fish! Whenever I forage food I immediately almost taste it and start imaging all the ways to cook it so I can only imagine the disappointment ! Turned out well in the end though ❤️
I can’t think of anything better than spending a Saturday night being part of your adventure! Thanks for sharing. 💕💕
Yes indeed!
Poor old Bo @8:38 .. I know the feeling when a flight of stairs seems like Mt. Everest .. hang in there buddy❤🐾🐶
You're truly living the dream. Even the mosquitos don't seem to spoil the experience. Thanks for bringing us along.
I enjoy seeing your weather reports including the time of sunrise/sunset. Please consider including them more often. Much love to you all!
Tip for the jet foot... instead of replacing the liner, sand most of the grooves out and use the shims to raise the impeller to a business card clearance. You dont have to replace it till you cant shim it anymore.
I'm surprised you two don't wear bug nets. They are worth their weight in gold in such conditions! You can enjoy your activities in total comfort.
You two are the best, you bring us so much serenity in these difficult times!
Thank you for taking the time to include us in your trips to the cabin.
" It was as round as a human thigh!" 😆 Love fishing stories
I'm so happy every time you upload, and enjoying very much this alaskan summer all the way to Germany!
Thank you for sharing it with us and keep on doing what you're doing! :)
Greetings to you and my homeland..born German my parents are German lived there for 31 years (NRW) immigrated to the states almost 14 years ago! Stay blessed 💕
Really miss gersmannn this is it
The first minute plus of footage of this video is just "WOW".
I know I always say this here but the cabin videos are my favorite! For some reason it makes me feel like I'm also on a weekend getaway.
I'm glad we ended this beautiful day at the cabin fishing. I csn't believe how beautiful it is.
I truly enjoy out timeat thecabin, good coffee, good food, and the best fishing. You really know how to dhow me a good time.
Thank you, and God Bless .you.
Love and Prayers
Breathtaking light at midnight! Still wish I could see it one day. Love the episodes at the lake cabin! 🧚♀️🐞
I always enjoy watching you two and your fur babies. Thank you for the awesome video.
Thank you-I NEEDED your post today!!!

I so love watching u both fish.back in the day my husband and I went fishing often.now he has gone I get the pleasure of watching u both

That would be so fun to know!
Thanks again, my friends.
Just enjoyed a forty minute cool weekend on top of the one unfolding here.
Ahhh Ive been waiting for this trip. You guy should make it a tradition!
Looked like an awesome trip.
Happy Midsummer from Finland 🇫🇮❤️
hyvää päivää from 🇨🇦🤩

Ohhh I just love watching you guys live off the land. Those pikes were awesome!! Great job. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
The editing on this one is amazing guys. Thanks for the consistently amazing content!
I always enjoy your adventures and THE FOOD!! I’m often hungry after watching one of your vids. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for another great trip! I truly enjoy how genuinely excited you two are awhile catching fish! Can’t wait to see how the pickled pike turns out.
Absolutely love you guys!!!! The length of your videos is amazing thank you I learn so much!!!

I'd buy that cookbook in a heartbeat!
And the dip!

I’ve always hated pike, but they’re fun to catch. Always caught the big ones on simple spoons in the middle of the lake.
I will never forget the first pike I caught, on Lake Champlain, Vermont side, when I was ~9 years old. Awesome experience!
Absolutely beautiful, you two have a great life and I hope you enjoy it for years to come ❤️👍
Love these videos. You guys live an incredible adventure every day. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Y’all are such a beautiful couple. Y’all make a wonderful team. God bless you both.
Thanks for the great videos. My long time fishing buddy and I head out to Kitimat tomorrow for salmon, halibut, and ling cod, prawn and crabs. Looking forward to it after a 2 year hiatus.
Ohhh that sounds amazing have a great time..now I want crabs 🦀
You have the best videos I've ever seen
Love what y'all do! Thank you for sharing your life with us. Cheers!🍻
Just love the way you both go get ur own stuff together outstanding video ❤️
Hello from Virginia. Canning mustard greens today. Raspberry jam too. I have chickens now. Think they will lay soon. 6 hens 1 rooster. You have given me inspiration.
We also have beef cattle
What a wonderful trip. Thank You for sharing. Looking forward
I actually swatted by my face when you guys were talking about the mosquitoes. They are horrible here in Minnesota as well. They are missed in the Winter…
Wow so so challenging and yet amazing. Love everything about your videos.

You guys got the life. The pikes were great but the bugs are beat. Great vid.
Love the drone shot as you guys were leaving. Cool perspective on what the territory looks like up there!! How beautiful!! Was hoping to see the rocky creek you have to wade through😉. Thank for sharing your life up there.
I have a friend that is from Alaska- she said she really misses it so much. She wishes she was still there. Can’t wait to give her the name of your channel, think she would love it!
Always fun to go off to a cabin! Love it when y'all go out there! Reminds me of my childhood going to our cabin!!
What a good life . Just keep safe always. Thanks for sharing your good life. Love from the Philippines 🇵🇭
"Pretty painful when it hits you in the face and you're going 30 mph" oh man!! That is rough. Super excited to do this with my partner and have some kind of fishing cabin experience(s) someday too. Really loved this video, all the ups and downs made it exhausting for the family I'm sure! But those tacos! 👌
Love, love, love your content!
Blessings from the dry dusty and thirsty deserts of Tucson!

I also love the education you both give to me from gardening tips to how to clean a fish. Not that I'll ever use that tip, haha, but nonetheless good to know.

You need that for the winter time. Enjoyed the video! 💞👏🙏
Your Drone takes beautiful videos, thanks for sharing with all of us as we really enjoy your company!
The plane landing on the water reminds of the time you came to the cabin, by plane, cool experience.....the drone shots were awesome 👌 Don't kick yourself over lost fish, it's food for everything else, but lesson learned....Spectacular vlog tonite 😀
Awesome video! Never disappoints! Beautiful sensory💜💜
Mississippi watching
Wow! Love your channel. Beautiful filming, editing, the drone footage is amazing. You two are truly talented. Blessings and much aloha from Oregon.☮️🌎💜🌎☮️🤙
Bandit just kills me with his energy level. I wish I could have the energy level he does at his age. Great trip! Glad y'all got some pike this time around. If it weren't for the chickens, do y'all think you'd consider spending a winter at the cabin? Also, what happened to Bo's back? Hope he's ok.
Was just seeing his back too. Hope it wasn't for removal of cancer or something bad like that
ja man......bo........
last dance i think.......
can't take no more losses of furry buddys........
✌
You love this Channel too! Woot woot! This is how I imagine life.
That’s exactly what I want to know, what happened to Bo‘s back? Both are so cute and I Hope everything is fine?
@@TheWickerShireProject - Yes. I've been with these guys since they first moved to Alaska. Great people in my opinion.
What A Life u 2 have created for yourselves. So good to hear the actual joy and happiness in your voices.
Curious about what happened to Bo's back?
The fishing was awesome. Do you leave a light at the trail head so you can find it in the dark? Perhaps you can make up an all natural bug repellent? My parents toured AK and also talked about the voracious mosquitoes. One tour bus was stopped dead by a moose leaning against the engine to drive off the biters. Will you be going back to some glaciers? Those are my favorite videos.
I saw Beau’s back too. I hope they respond.
I saw it too and posted the same question. Hope he is okay. Looks like he had surgery
it seems to be a small skin issue ;) i'm glad it's nothing too serious. I love the 2 doggies
Love it, love it, love it!!!!
The lure you took off your pole and said it was a crank bait is actually a Kwikfish . Usually used for salmon and steelhead fishing . Just an FYI . Love your show

Another great video. Y’all are by far the ones I look forward to every week. I once had a whole stringer of bass eaten by turtles in Texas. It sucks when you lose fish😤. What happened to my buddy Bo’s back? Did I miss a video?
Love the videos. So much excitement out there. Thank you for bringing us all the great photography ya'll 💐💙🙏🐕🐕
The one thing I don't miss about my three years in Alaska is those damn Mosquitoes!!!! Another great fishing trip. The Pike fishing makes me wish I was back in Alaska!
We call mosquitoes the "city birds" where I live because our town is surrounded by wetlands. When we moved here, the neighbor called them "bats" and said "don't get carried off by one." I thought he was joking until dusk. Lol
I sure hate to see it fade out & y'all are gone but what an exciting video!!! God's handiwork is sure seen by the careful editing you do! It's gorgeous there. Thank you so much for sharing your blessed life with us!! We appreciate you all! Bandit, walking on the side of the water, you sure do love your fur babies. I do too! Love y'all & pray for this life to continue in safety & health, as you're alert & aware in Jesus name, Amen. See ya next time...🙏❤️🙏🤗🥰🙏❤️❤️☝️👵
"Bandit, do you wanna..."
Bandit - "Yes"
"Beau, do you wanna..."
Beau - "Nah fam I'm good, you kids have fun"
Awesome video again👍 Thank you so much for making my day that much better😁
Is Bo doing okay? I love his big old face and gentle disposition. I hope he’s okay. Great video!
Another great adventure in beautiful Alaska ❤️. Pike is one of our favorite fish too. Some days I wish I had half of Bandit's energy, he's just so fun to watch enjoing every day & adventure. I just want to spend one lazy day snuggling Bo he's so sweet. ❤️ from Michigan
What happened to Bo? Noticed his back has been partially shaved off…
Damn! That headlight change out was amazing!
I couldn't help but notice a big chunk of Bo's fur had been shaved off his back as he was leaving the cabin near the end of the video. I hope he is okay. I remember about a month ago he was mysteriously missing from a couple videos. I am guessing he may have had some kind of surgery. I hope Bo's doing fine. He seems like such a sweetie!
No surgery, just a small skin issue. Bo is doing fairly well but he does prefer to spend a good amount of his time indoors and usually that is why he may not make it into a video (simply because we are outdoors). We appreciate your love for him, he is a sweetheart ❤
@@SimpleLivingAlaska I was going to ask the same question. I always search the comments first. I think I'm the only one that does that.
I could only imagine how hard it is to fish and film....but thank you for doing it! I LOVE the real life filming....odd camera angles, and all. It really takes me back to being on the water fishing!
And the clear water allows us to see your fish also.
