November 13, 2023 Greetings Good Living Alaska; I just finished binge watching your 8 post with much delight. I would like to recommend that you create a play list of all of your videos so that it is easier for a new person to watch them all in order. My parents moved to Anchorage in 1946 when I was 2 (like Harrison). My brother and sister were born in Anchorage. We lived there until 1962 when I joined the USAF. I can imagine my parents moving with a little baby and all of the struggles and difficulties of the times. I now live in the Veterans home in California. I would like to introduce you to some of my You Tube friends who are like-minded. First is "Home Free Alaska". And the other is Holladay Homestead who just moved to Homer (I think) 3 or 4 months ago and are raising 4 very young boys. Both of these families are home-schooling there kids and I’m sure could be much help to you. May God bless you and give you strength and wisdom. Bill Patton

Try to stock up on staples your family normally uses like rice, beans, canned goods. With flour and yeast you can make your own bread. That way you don't need to go out in those treacherous roads so often, especially with your little one! You'll also save money in these days.

It's fun to be at the very beginning with a new KZreadr, isn't it? One day quite soon they will be so big they won't be able to answer us so personally. The video where they bought the land with the abandoned cabin and air stream jumped to 53k views! Happy for this lovely family.

Watching you guys Driving on ice scares me. Loved Looking at all the Costco items. That boy is so cute!

Glad you choose to share your journey on YT. You are surrounded by some good families that have done well with what they face. Hope you have a generator and always have fuel. Eco Flow run specials and occasionally will sponsor a vlog. Please consider when 50% off. They are life savers year round and depending on model powerhouses. I know you are new filming, too pretty for the light to go dark on your eyes. Realize you might be relying on your phone over a camera and Costco lighting is never kind wearing makeup. Sherry w this Alaskan life had the same issue until she and Mary found a camera with a brighter filter. Going to look for the chocolate. We don't always have the same inventory in 🇨🇦 That coat was perfect. Both Lauren and Becky bought for the last trimesters. Kept warm. Love the property btw, can't wait to see those trailers and bought once the snow melts. I'd store those tires in the house to sell. Stay warm and enjoy your Thanksgiving 🦃❄️

I love watching your videos. I just found your channel. It makes me miss winter in Alaska. So much beauty in the snow on the mountains and everywhere. I miss driving on the ice road on the frozen rivers. That was a lot of scary fun. We used to drive 50 to 70 miles on the frozen Kuskokwim River in western Alaska going down to Bethel. Yes, Anchorage roads are crazy during the winter in the big snow storms. Have a blessed Thanksgiving.

the building material and food is going to be the highest prices for you in that cabin, then comes the gas, propane and electrical service for living up there, a friend of mine has a large home in Denali. its costing him about 4000.00 month in food, fuel and electrical, his placing solar on the home and its going to cover abut 80 % of the electrical cost, that s 80% of the cost , but were seeing for the future

I think there is a law that requires people to stop at the Speedway at Girdwood / Alyeska on any trip to Anchorage. I know I always stop. Several other people I know also make the mandatory stop.😂😂

Hi gang. First off, NO we don’t miss dealing with winter. No heated gloves, snow pants, scarves or shovels at our Costco in Florida. We dealt with winter too long in NY!🤣 Your Costco has got food stuff ours doesn’t. How you liking all the snow so early in the season from what I understand? Anchorage got a lot of snow. What do you do for Thanksgiving? Have company over? Harrison is a cute kid. Well, till next time. Take care.

Your channel popped up because I enjoy Somers In Alaska, Bush Radical and Girl in the Woods. Now I've watched about 6 of your videos. Just love your family and channel. Some questions, did you live in Homer that first year? How far do you have to drive for your work? Was it hard finding the blue house you live in? Those home shows only show houses $500,000 and up which I still can't afford myself. Anyway, your Thanksgiving vid was great. We used to do that in my childhood on Dolly Sods, Randolph County WV. . Wow! And we'd be playing Cat Stevens for entertainment on our 8 track player. About 55-60 years ago.❤ I can't wait to see how big your channel gets. It's grown quickly!
