Alaska Moose Hunt 2020

- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2020
- Hunting season is a full blown affair from the prep work to the excursion to harvesting and processing. Every year we are rewarded with the experience of hunting in Alaska's tough and vast landscape. Having the privilege to be among majestic wildlife is not something we take for granted.
This year Arielle harvests her first ever Alaskan cow moose. We both couldn't be more appreciative for a short season and the wonderful meat and so much more this animal will provide for us.
Our 2021 Alaska Calendar is available for purchase!

One thing about this channel that I admire is how you guys work as a team for everything.. it’s really nice to see your both on the same page.
Yes,They never fight like some other couples do ha ha
Yeah, I just thought the same thing when saw them butchering that moose. Really proud about their teamwork.
i see the love
I'm not a vegetarian and fully understand the process. I love your respect for your hunt and the sustainability for harvesting your own meat. I still felt emotional for the moose cow. It's definitely something to reflect upon as we, socially, have become more disconnected from our food source.
Extremely difficult to watch for people that don’t have any concept of where and how their food is sourced. I’m unsure as to whether I could do this, I’m a chef and have butchered various species but whether I could make the shot is a different question.
That's exactly what the powers want
This young couple are amazing. They educate their viewers as well make all programs interesting. I know their family are so very proud. I would be
Hi, I'm a 87 yr. old man from Ohio ( Gary ) and I really admire you two. I watch you every day and enjoy it. I used to hunt deer a lot and enjoyed it and really enjoyed the out doors. I don't walk to good anymore But you really have a keeper in that lady and I would offer you 27 Quarts of beans and 40 # of Hamburg and a gallon of wine for her. All kidding aside, thanks for letting me share your life.
Guys I used to live I Fairbanks and have hunted moose and caribou, so I know how hard the mosquitoes and the processing really is. You guys made it look easy. Great vid.
Ahh, the mosquitoes?!
The amount of people who can set up well composed time lapse shots, narrate and edit a story, yet also hunt/butcher a moose is likely a pretty small group. I wish you two and your channel the best. Living in the part of the US were the low quite possibly may not have fallen below 70 in the last 5 months I had to chuckle about your 'getting hot today' regarding 70F comment.
That’s what we call hot in the UK, you get used to cooler weather and don’t cope well with hotter temperatures lol it all depends what your used to. At the moment it’s 55f and it’s still pleasant for us on holiday
this channel is exactly what ive been looking for as far as content. hard work, real life survival, perfect explanations/ demonstrations, NO PROFANITY, just a hard working couple living the life from what the videos make it out to be. I never thought Alaska would be such a beautiful place. Great job and amazing content!
🎉rzactlu😊😊😊0😊😊😊😊yyýyyhhhh92🎉5
I have watched you two for the last couple years and I must say very inspiring. I grew up commercial fishing and hunting with my family here in kenai and I'm proud to say i am keeping the tradition alive for my kids. Super glad to have you guys in Alaska we need more rad people like you two.
I know you hear it all the time, but I just found your channel and have truly enjoyed doing the “channel marathon “ to get caught up. You guys are really impressive. Wonderful to see people who are so responsible and self sufficient. Have already learned so much! Thank you for sharing.
Congratulations! We just packed our moose out today. It was epic. No Polaris, but 4 horses did the trick! Gotta love this Alaska life. Blessings from the Kenai Peninsula!
Congratulations!
Shawn, if I'm remembering right .. you have a guided moose hunting trip planed for this Fall ? think you mentioned it in one if Jim's videos.
Todd Anderson I'm waiting for the final decision, but it looks like it will be postponed until next year because of the pandemic.
Shawn will you be hunting elk this year with Russell at Raspberry Rock?
Shawn great to see you watch this channel also. Just like your channel, these two soul's are doing a brilliant job, like you of course. My two favourite and only Self Reliance, snow, You Tube channels. Kind thoughts from Australia xx
@@MySelfReliance thats shitty man sry to hear that.
You two live more in a month than most people do in a year , love your adventures your parents must be very proud of you , Adelaide Australia , big fan 10/10
When hunting, the easy part is the actual hunt. Now the work begins.
Congratulations! Well done!
Those chickens be gangster on the carcass tho...
Honestly... I don't care if I'm first or one hundred and first... I just appreciate the parts of your lives that you share... A lot of good meat for the winter... Congratulations!!
How in the world did a couple from the Bay area develop all this outdoor knowledge and desire? Love the content.
They might have lived in Bay Area but they might not be from there. Also, as a Las Vegas kid born and raised. We went where we could to fish, dirt bike, hunt for many things and live off the land. Normally city kids don’t end up knowing anything valuable. It’s al about parenting.
Born and raised in Alaska and I love your videos. You both work so hard for everything you have/achieved
If you have an ice fishing sled, put it in the back of the ATV. It takes up little room, and you can put stuff in it. If you harvest an animal, you can put it (or parts of it) in the sled and drag the sled. The sled has handles and attachment points that an animal does not. It keeps ground debris off the meat, and it pulls so much easier.
My dad went moose hunting every year. One year he got a huge bull moose. He got the head stuffed and it hanged on our wall for over 10 years . We use to use it as a Christmas tree and decorate the antlers and put gifts in them lolol. Our cats would jump up on to it and sleep in the antlers too. My dad ended up selling it to the museum of nature in Ottawa Canada.
Of the 5 or so 6 channels that I watch and subscribe to, and I’ve really narrowed it down, Your’s is the most authentic, and real life experience that I have enjoyed. I am honestly impressed by what you have been able to accomplish as a team in this video, and I am consistently impressed by how much you both pack into a day. My old Foxfire books, even if updated, would not hold a candle to this. I think you both should seriously think about a video series, or some type of permanent log of your accomplishments. It is truly impressive- what you both have been able to accomplish. And I mean this comment as sincere as I can offer it as a family law lawyer for over 37 years: It is a very, very rare thing to see two people in a relationship work together as cohesively and as a team as you do. This is worthy of some reflection by you both- and maybe it helps to see yourselves through the lease of the rest of the world sometimes. But you should see what we see. Congrats. Keep up the great vids. I am so much enjoying them in my retirement. Great. Good for you.
You guys are pretty brave, and honest, to video and show this side of self sufficient living off grid. I will probably never go that far in living a self sufficient life but I admire your commitment. All the homesteading channels I watch stop short of filming the animal processing aspect of this lifestyle - there's a lot of criticism out there and they just don't want to deal with it. But it is a reality and one which you face honestly and respectfully. Good luck to you.
Simple living maybe but for sure adventurous! Thank you for bringing us along.
Ariel, you are funny and i love the way you eat those berries. I watch every episode with much grater interest than anything else. Great work guys and stay awesome.
the way the stomach expands in the sun in that sped up section is fascinating
Congratulations!! What an incredible adventure. Over 200K subscribers, so fantastic. You both do such a fabulous job bringing us along with all you do. Can’t wait to see more!
You kids crack me up hahahahaha! Sticking your eye in the stream.... there ya go!!! 💕😃💕😃
Man, I hope I get a cow moose tag this year! You guys' videos are motivating!
You are ameazing guys I love you this is my favorite RUclips channel!!!!
two of you are very lucky,you love what you are doing, you choose it. Love this couple
Keep sharing these videos with my wife hoping she gets the hint. Y'all are awesome. Keep living the dream for those of us who can't.. not yet anyway . 😏
@@donaldmiller8629 what the fuck are you saying my man, if you want a woman that likes what you do, find one that actually likes what you do, if you marry someone that doesn't, it's not her fault it's yours.
I keep doing the same but I just get this scared look from her hoping I'm not serious....
Just cracked a beer and opened RUclips only to be surprised with a new vid, cheers ya'll this one's for you!
Thank you both so much! It's really refreshing this is reality, and in our mass consumer driven society. Your way of life. Brings to life, the old saying of you don't work 💪, and you don't eat. Thanks
For me this lifestyle is the definition of freedom
Publish a 29 minute video 3 mins ago and there is already a “thumbs down”? Keep doing you; we live in Wasilla and support what you are doing.
Me too. 50 years in Alaska and a lot of stuff. But I just love their channel
There will always be trolls
Must be the vegans.
Probably a PETA lover. You should see the comments on Alaska Life on FB when a photo of someone that has had a successful hunt is posted.
I'm a PETA lover. People for the eating of tasty animals...
What’s wrong with our society is not enough living like y’all!!!! Glad you got meat for the freezer! I grew up living outdoors, in fact, I remember checking my trap sets before & after school in PA in the mid 70’s! Times sure have changed! ❤️ from Texas!
Timeline sounds just about right. When I got my moose, alone, it was 5 hrs. to gut/skin/quarter, and no trees to use as tools. I too was fortunate enough for it to be winter (north of Kotzebue), and was able to pull the snow mobile/sled right up to the pieces and load them directly. My father was working on his at the same time. I matched his speed, but, his finished pile was purdier. LOL They both ate equally well. Congrats on a fine cow for the freezer. Heart/tongue soup on the first night after the kill is tremendous!! It was a tradition my father introduced me to on my first caribou hunt.
When going hunting we soak the liver in some milk overnight and use it for breakfast the next morning. Nothing like fresh liver for breakfast with some onions, peppers, tomato, mushrooms and some scrambled eggs. Eating that with some pot bread made on the fire!! Beautiful!!
Wow. Absolutely amazing. You two are incredible. But the way your wife went into that moose, no gloves, arms covered in blood, and smiling as she rips out the heart... daaamn. Now THAT'S a woman. God bless you on your homesteading journey
I really love the videos that y’all make. Always look forward to new ones. Very educational.
Haha! “Wait, you cut my tarp!” Cracks me up! I am always trying to salvage our tarps at our cabin! Tarps are such a tool in off grid life in Alaska!!
You guys are amazing. Doing incredible things together as a happy couple. You are one. Happy day to you both.
Love how you two work together!!
The butte is nice this time of year! Great shot of the valley, pioneer peak and twin peaks. I’m a local blacksmith/bladesmith in Anchorage and I would love to make you guys a knife!🔥⚒💪🏻
I literally can’t stop watching! Found this channel a few days ago and im hooked. I will be heading to Alaska when im ready to retire to live like this ❤️. God bless y’all and keep up the great content.
Love the time lapse shots. Shows the work n respect for the moose you two put in
New sub here. I love your video making style... You guys are genuine and honest about your adventures. Thanks for bringing us along.
Congratulations! Arielle, so happy for you! What a wonderful feeling to have gotten a moose! And what a blessing that Eric still has a tag to get a bull.
I was flabbergasted by how far you had to travel to get back to the Tundra. That Polaris is a beast!
Hope Bo, Bandit and Pepper got a moose treat!
I actually like the fact that you show so much of the reality of hunting and processing what you take down. No romanticizing. Just the practicality of it all. Some people might find this distasteful but reality isn't always nice and tidy.
I love y’all fishing & hunting videos. Honest videos failure or success. Thanks again for taking us along.
Congratulations! All I can say is WOW. 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙
I had to cover my eyes when you were going down that hill. Lol. Glad everything went smoothly.
Good job Arielle. Such a great video. I felt like I was watching an adventure Hollywood movie.
I loved and envied the premium quality life you guys are living. Nothing beats this. More grace
Congratulations! Those 6 wheels are awesome.
Arielle, you freaking badass, you. Nicely done, girl.
What a treat for the chickens!
LOL, I just realized their names are the same as the Little Mermaid characters. LOVE this channel. You two are life goals for young couples
Congrats! We've been out at Jim Lake in Butte hunting last weekend and this, and no moose yet. It's been beautiful weather, though, and we've seen some incredible birds and gotten out on the water. I know you will enjoy the fruits (or meats, as it were) of your labor!
Another amazing video and congratulations y’all 🥰🥰🎉🎉
From Australia........thank you both. I recently found your channel and have enjoyed every vid. so far. You have a awesome woman, bloody tough. One thing i noticed, you both love your food. LOL But crazy good show guys
I love your transprarancy, , Killing your food is not easy, and it shouldn't be, it is part of our respect for the life that we take that feeds us. it is right and proper.
I'm really happy for you two for bagging that cow, moose hunting is big here in northern Ontario also, I know that you will be enjoying your winter meat supply, thanks for taking us along!
Keep on living the life. Great content, great channel.
nothing is "for granted", love to hear how you manage so well
Iam so fascinated about your lives in Alaska. I still wonder why you have chosen a life of hard work. I understand it's close to nature and freedom. I envy you for this. Keep inspiring and excited with your vlogs. Stay blessed. Keep carbon footprint low.
"You cut my tarp!"
Man, that's just what my wife would say!! LOL!!
Watching with love all the way from South Africa.
this family hits it on the nail head every time. loove you two. hannk
I don't know what I'm more excited for. This video, or the future processing and recipe videos!
Awesome Arielle!! That is a wonderful feeling. Yes nerve wracking as well but you are back home and safe (man those hills) and can start the winter supply. Love how you both use every bit you can. Love seeing all. Love the compassion for the polaris. Can't wait for the processing.
Congratulations on the moose, Arielle and Eric! I remember when you guys were so happy with the roadkill moose. The Alaskan landscape is so beautiful.
Bull shit ,animal CRUELTHY 👎👎👎👎👎👎
@@inekev6566 learn how to spell cruelty not cruelthy.. 😂😭
My life is the total opposite of yours. I eat a mostly plant based diet and live in a big city but i really love and appreciate your way of life.
Looks like you guys always have fun 🤩
my favorite youtube channel :)
So happy that you guys finally got a Moose down with a tag! Great job guys!!
Oh. My. Goodness! Ariel, you are amazing! Loved this video. Thanks so much for sharing your life.
Hey how you doing guys this is crazy Cuban from Miami Florida I'm so happy for you guys
So happy you guys got a moose!!!!!
Nothing better than a frosty cold beer after a hard day of hunting and butchering. I love your channel, I dream of a life like yours some day
Hi. Absolutely love your videos. Please keep them coming. I look forward to seeing these videos. Beautiful Alaskan views and awesome people. Thanks again.
wow, our hunting doesnt start til the 10th. Thats awesome you already got your meat. Way to go
Love your content!! Just had to share I got a Polaris ad break as you guys were towing yours down the river 😂
I like that you eat what you hunt and you share your adventurous life with us city folks.
Eric I like your choice of beer. I haven’t had one in 16 yrs but I still remember the flavor. Bless you both and congrats on the harvest. Doug
Love how you guys showed the cutting process. More people should show the process
Eric: ... Bear Grylls ..in the camel's stomach..(hahaha good one...never thought you'd watched that programme. It's a staged programme.)
Well done... You guys now have meat supply for the winter..😻😻😻👍
That will be good.. protein=body warmth...
One wonder whether any swamp buggy maker would like to sponsor you guys.Good to see you try it around around the wildness of Alaska..
Keep safe and stay safe.
I LOVE WHAT YALL ARE DOING IVE FOLLOWED YOU FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS NOW!!! AND WHAT A LEAP OF FAITH?? AM SO PROUD OF YALL AND HOE MUCH YOUVE GROWN!!!
You guys work so well together.
Awesome video! This is super fascinating for someone who’s never hunted before. Thanks for sharing 🙂
This is really fascinating. I like how you showed us the initial unsuccessful attempts, then also when you carved out the whole carcass. Really opened my eyes to the amount of work that gets done to get that all that meat.
love your content! Thank you for sharing with us.
Congrats on the moose this year. Thanks for sharing guys. Always look forward to seeing your new videos each week.
Congratulations guys! I hope your canning some of the meat it’s awesome. Cut into chunks add 1/8 to 1/4 tsp salt in pint jars. Ready to eat over pasta. Yum Boy do I ever miss this. I miss living in Fbks/ North Pole Lived there for 20 years.
My fam has been here 50 yr and my sis is a teacher in North Pole. She's an amazing gardener...can you believe she grew ARTICHOKES up there!! :)
If I remember correctly, I think they did can some of the previous moose they got when they "got the call".
Was that a Corona beer at the end? I'm really surprised you can get a Corona all the way up in Alaska! Great adventure... thanks for sharing...
You are so strong and versatile!
It must take a great determination to go hunting for a moose. What a team you make!
No coments on all your ammunition. I know nothing on this subject.
Enjoy and take care. ❤
Great job on the hunt and harvest. It’s a lot of work and the Ranger was helpful indeed. I have a Ranger 800 as well and one thing to be aware of is the little block relays under the hood. They can go bad or short from time to time and leave you with no lights. I’ve unplugged and tapped them before until I had a replacement to get by but now have a spare. We enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work and stay safe. - Tom “Outdoors and Country Living”.
Congratulations on a successful hunt. You’ll get to relive the memory of the hunt with every moose meal. I’ve been fortunate to draw two moose tags in Montana. My favorite wild game meat by far. Love to see your embracing of the Alaskan lifestyle in the short time you’ve lived there.
Congrats!! We just processed a moose recently and, well... is it weird to say that I can smell this video?! 😂
Hannah Gordon I understand. We process our own meat too.
What a wife!!! A helper and beautiful.
Maybe he is the helper and she is still beautiful what are you 2 hundred
I LOVE you guys ...together and I second mr 9728's encouraging comments about you two :)
Well done. I know it's a huge thing being able to hunt a moose successfully. The cost of food is so much now & even more so in Alaska. Without this ability to hunt life is very different & harder. It's certainly a lot of work getting your meat this way. Not much goes to waste either. Even the chickens benefit hugely & the meat they don't eat will provide a place for maggots to hatch which will in turn provide food .
