Generators, Winter Chicken Feed & Sprouts | Alaska's Winter Wonderland

Alaska's winter landscape sets the mood for this week around the cabin. We work on starting our new diesel generator, talk about what we feed our chickens in the winter months and sprout fresh alfalfa sprouts to try with Simit, also known as Turkish bagels.
We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀

    Just a suggestion about the exhaust on your new generator: put a new pipe on it. That exhaust pipe is almost squeezed shut. If you replace it the generator will run a lot more freely and it will also prevent future problems. Also in regards to what another viewer wrote I too am really thankful for how well you guys treat your animals including your bees and the concern that you show for them and their well-being. That is something that shows me what kind of tremendous character you guys have. One final thing: I don’t know which one of you is doing the drone footage but it really adds to your videos. You are doing a great job with that.

    Eric, you now have a Kubota powered generator, looks like a Model D1105. It is a very durable engine; with good care it will last a long time. I've been a Kubota industrial engine dealer for many years...like fifty years. So wish I could help you with the maintenance and installation. Unfortunately I'm from Ohio...a long way off. Generator looks like it could be a Stanford Newage make. I have D1105 Kubota engines with over 20,000 hrs.' out in the field with very little repairs done other than regular maintenance. I watch your videos religiously and appreciate them very much!

We have watched a lot of shows and KZread channels on off grid/homesteading. 100% your way of caring for the chickens is so important and shows how happy they are with egg production and their general welfare. Thank you for that and the advice of the things you feed and the little extras you do. Absolutely amazing, have a great day.

    I don't know if this will help but we used to save any left over grease and cracklings and melt it with peanut butter and then mix in corn meal until it forms a nice consistency. You can add sunflower seeds, flax seed or sesame seeds to it as well or oatmeal. We called it Bird Pudding. But it's really just homemade suet. Hope that helps!
