Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Minnesota! I found your channel beginning of Dec 2024 and noticed you have gained around 10k subscribers in 1 months time. That is incredible! Keep going! Thank you for sharing your content. 🙏🤘😎🇺🇸
Thank you so much, we are happy people enjoy them and are interested in our simple life! Merry Christmas and happy holidays, thank you for following along as well! 😊🎄
Great, great video, really enjoyed it!!! Merry Christmas from the northeast mountains of Georgia...36° here at 9:07 p.m., clear and windy...praying you all have a very good Christmas...🎄 🎅
You are so adept at everything you do. Did you learn all these things you do by trial and error, or did you educate yourself or have help showing you how? Your family has so much charisma, I find myself wondering, "What are they doing today?" Thanks for your lovely vlogs. They are very appreciated.
We are so happy you enjoy them! It’s been a learning process from years of homesteading with trial and error, and also learning from others. We’ve had some wonderful mentors over the years! Thank you for watching ❤️😊
recently found your channel, and I'm addicted! Already watched them all and can't wait for more. So straightforward and honest, and great how you explain everything you do. Would love to know more about how you came to this lifestyle. Maybe once winter is in full force you can do a q&a. Best wishes for the season.
it's perfect how you made that little house for the animals but I see there's little cracks were cold can go in do you cover those up or do you ever insulate
We put a thick piece of plywood on the inside to cover all the cracks and make more of a windbreak! There are a few layers of straw on the ground too ❤️
Nice to see you talk about energetics rather than one size fits all herb use. Also, I thought I had the market cornered on carving herbs with a Buck 110. Guess not.
@@holdfastalaska You did a great job with the energetics synopsis. I have many 110’s including one passed down to me by my great grandfather. Awesome knife. Loved your tallow walk through. We have to pressure can ours otherwise it goes bad quickly in this warm climate. Looking forward to your next vid.
Great video!! I’ve been watching a lot of your videos. I just had a quick question, will your daughter be home schooled or take online classes or how does it work out there?
Alaska offers a lot for homeschool families, and that is what we do. Though, there is a wonderful small local school here with about 10 students. She has the choice to attend there if she’d like, as well!
Typically, bears are hibernation this time of year. A good rule of thumb, though, is to always carry a weapon when outside cooking or with food in Alaska.
Glad that I found your channel, you guys are awesome ❤
Thanks so much, and thanks for watching! ❤️😊

I wish I could live like them.
There’s really little science that show echinacea works, but as long as people think it helps them, why not as long as they aren’t harmed.
Excellent video! I’m learning some good stuff. The infused tea sounded so delish! Thanks for sharing your life with us! Merry Christmas 🎄 ✨
It’s a favorite around here! Merry Christmas 🎄 thanks for watching 😊

Thank you! Thought it was a helpful piece of info for folks. That’s too funny 🤣 Buck 110 is my favorite everything knife!

Nice coop you built.
Thank you! 😊
❤Merry Christmas ❤
And a Merry Christmas to you too! 🎄😊
When I’m cutting wood I like to have buckets all around to throw wood scraps into and not have to handle it twice.
Great idea!
Good job
Thanks so much! 😊
Do you keep a gun when your outside for bears ? Great videos Hello fro TEXAS 👍👍
Yes we do! Even in winter.
Typically, bears are hibernation this time of year. A good rule of thumb, though, is to always carry a weapon when outside cooking or with food in Alaska.
So is the boiled tallow like lard? I know lard is great to cook with, 5hough I don’t think my cardiologist wants me to use it.
Tallow and lard are very similar, both being rendered animal fat! Lard is from pigs. I’d chat with him, you might be surprised!
Do you prefer tallow over leaf lard?
Yes we do!
How much was that 70# of beef fat?? I'm wondering how much of a price difference in Alaska it is.
We paid right around $2-3/lb! It is local Alaskan suet too!
Do you have to go to town to get internet service?
We do not, we have satellite internet at the cabin!
You channel reminds me how lazy I am!
Thank you for watching! 😊
