    I have never seen a couple that works so well together. You two clearly show that it doesn't have to be her job or his, you do them together. I'm amazed at how strong Arielle is for her size. I really love watching your videos, I find your building projects creative and intriguing. Your cooking and gardening videos are equally educational and informative, and the food always looks yummy. I feel the love that you two have for each other and your animals. Thank you for showing the world what true love and respect looks like. Blessings.....💞💐🙏🏾

      I miss what these two have. Nine years in Montauk, commercial fishing. It's wonderful watching them. If you can, just go and make it happen for yourself on some level. I'm now in Central NY, my house high up overlooking city but I have wilderness behind me. It's as rustic that I can manage and I love it. So on some level, roughing it some is possible.

      I am a Christian but the "rat race" steals to much time away from my God, its hard. I always need help. I am also a "grown ass man" i shed tears as well, makes me smile most of the time. Observing this Family is like walking around with a bag of onions around your neck. All for the Joy.

    Hi tip for keeping the pups warm during your trips instead of blankets throw a bit of hay or straw under the blankets it will help retain the animal body heat and wicks away excessive moisture from the snow. We use it at the shelters when we make warming huts for stray cats/pups in the surrounding neighborhoods. Anyways love the work you guys always do for us.

    When you felled the big tree (27:38), Eric, you did it so cleanly, I had to show it to my mother. Her father (my grandfather) worked in the timber industry out on the Washington coast, and we both agree Grandpa would've been proud of how well you did. I then showed it to my father, and he said that he as a landscaper (almost 20 years pruning & felling experience) was proud of how perfectly you placed that tree. AND he said that his brother, having worked for Puget Power (the big power company for the county around Seattle) helping fell trees to clear power lines for decades before his own retirement long ago, also would've been proud of you. So that's five big thumbs-up from my family, three of 'em professional thumbs!

Backhoeed a artesian well dug our own sewer line and used a burned out car shell for sewer. No yellowpages to get help or couldn't buy on line when we were off grid.

    I really love the pictures you took of each other too. When you are my age you will treasure those memories and tell yourselves you were pretty bad ass too!!! I kept hoping when you were chopping the wood that none of the pieces would fly up and hit that big window! But you have skills!!! You made felling trees look easy. Just love how you bake fresh rolls and make such delicious meals in the cabin. Thanks for sharing your lives. Some of us can only dream of what living off grid and in Alaska is like.

    This trip looked like you finally had some time to really relax and enjoy it. The dogs too. The bone broth was a good. Idea for them. Loved the still shots. Way to go downing the trees. Cold enough for a snow mustache lol. Keep safe and warm. Hope the chickens and your cat are warm and safe..

    Arielle the end of the video almost brought me to tears. I've watched you both for so long, all the way back in Oregon, such a journey. I have 4 favorite channels; Simple Living Alaska, The Nomadic Movement, Eamon and Beck, Hannah Duggan. Every one of them started with Van life (except SLA) and now have old beautiful cabins they're turning into their happy place. Hannah is out in her van now, running from the cold 😆.
    I so wish I would have been more adventurous. My health won't allow it now, who am I kidding my health wouldn't have allowed it then. I really suck at having a body. I live vicariously through each one of you.
    Truly you both are my favorite couple, I admire how hard you both work. I would say enjoy it you two but you both are enjoying it. It's present in everything you do and that joy is contagious. So if joy is the only thing I catch in 2021 I would be very lucky. Thank you, sending all the good vibes💚

    So, let me see if I understand this correctly
    You moved from Oregon to a remote dry cabin in Alaska to drastically simplify your lives.
    Then you spent two years upgrading the tweaking everything on your property and new home to make it work for you.
    Then you buy a smaller and even dryer cabin four hours away from the middle of nowhere to get away from it all
    Do I have that right?
    PS Love you guys, be safe, and keep the videos coming

      @@CmoreAnts I'm sure once Cellular service reaches the new cabin they may have to find something more remote. I'm sure pilot license might be in their future.

      Resources are different at each spot they own. I feel a rental empire in the making for hunters and folks who want to “ get away” for a bit.

    • @KarmaTribe

      Remote, no electricity, a lake, no people, adventure, living the dream. When you crave that life you get it. Eventually children playing and fishing by the lake, Christmases spent with family not presents up at the cabin, a legacy of memories to be made, relaxing and admiring the life they've built together. What a hard-working blissful life.

    The reason I like this channel is that they actually live full time off grid. There are many other channels that make it seem that they do but they only live there part time
