I watch lots of ALASKA homesteaders, but you two set the bar for honest and creative off-grid homesteading! Thank you for sharing your life. I look forward to every video.

I'm disabled and I'm the largest paper weight in the world. If I could walk I would be living like you two. I think you both are freaking rock stars. Cinematic quality is the best on KZread. I know I watch KZread day and night, and nobody comes even close to you video you create.

I have health issues too and so I surf KZread Premium for ~10 to 20 hours per day. I don't own a TV. I have my gaming PC that does all other PC functions too. I agree the video here @ Simple Living Alaska is like 1440p when it is actually 1080p and because I run 1440p I realllly enjoy that setting but the 1080p is so good too. As for content I'm a bit starved. I follow 16 KZread Premium Channels and that keeps me moderately busy but I watched them all and I am doing re-runs of all of them again. I really enjoyed the Outdoor Boys and Truck House Life. Any recommendations for new content that I can watch

Eric & Arielle, your work is never done but you sure do know how to live! Love the beauty of your area and how you share it with us. Thanks for taking us with you! You are a breath of fresh air! Absolutely love your posts and your culinary celebrations! See you next week! Stay safe, stay warm! ❤

Really enjoy your channel! Hope you are staying warm! Beautiful country up there...God is so creative!😊 Thanks for sharing!

New episode, how exciting; thank you so much. My hubby and I have been looking forward to it! Question: Have you possibly got an episode on the channel showing recipe for your flatbread? Have a great evening.

Great video!!! Especially loved it when you gave the rest of the family a special meal for all their "hard work"... I have to admit that I had gotten spoiled with the longer videos you've been treating us to lately but any video from you is wonderful. Thanks so very much!!

That opening sequence! 😍 Such talent at capturing such a beautiful place. You two work hard, and "play" hard in your time away having fun hunting and fishing, and eat well. Looks a near perfect life plan. ❤

Beautiful opening. Arielle has come so far with videography. Incredible footage, drone, whatever they use to film!

After seeing how hard it was to build and now how difficult it is to clear the snow off, I have a feeling that many people will be turned off to building a quanzit hut. I was holding my breath while you were in the process of clearing the snow off of it. May God keep you safe.

Surely that structure can stand up to a significant snow load - why even shovel/clear it?

@SLK648

6 ай бұрын

​@@rmclogger9856 As the structure is open at both ends it doesn't have the structural strength it would have when closed in. The snow load they had is probably not a problem, but if you have the time to clear the snow, as difficult as it is, why take the risk of an end collapsing? Once it's closed in I would expect they rarely if ever need to clear it.

Today it was 65* with full sun and only a few kemtrails in Florida. Only 40% humidity. Great for drying laundry outside. I am so glad that others love the outdoors as much as we do, just a different climate 🥰

The style of filming with the close ups and lack of additional noise was very much appreciated. It's different from your usual style and short, but it left me wanting more. I love just 'coming along' and witnessing your day to day life in the frigid North. Very relaxing! Thanks!

Hey Eric and Arielle! First of all Thank You for another awesome video! Your drone footage is AMAZING and your cooking and baking is just plain YUMMY! Your furbabies, Bo, Bandit and Pepper are so sweet! You have the best flock of chickens, and the amount of eggs you get is outstanding! Thank You again for sharing your off grid life with us! Until your next video ~~~ Stay safe, healthy, warm and happy! ❄️❄️⛄️

Those Alaskan mountains and skies are gorgeous! Great introduction. Blessings dear ones🌱

From where I stay in Africa, your lifestyle is so interesting and may I say even extreme! But you tackle your days with purpose and successfully complete the routine tasks as well as noticing urgent maintenance projects that need attention eg the chimney and patio roof... And then you always have enough energy to prepare super delicious meals for yourselves and your animals! Eric and Arielle, you are amazing👌🏻 Thanks for the beautiful scenic shots!

Hi folks waiting for your blog all week amazing work from you guys always great 👍

Awesome video! ☺ Really loved seeing the hard work in snow clearing mixed with the importance of eating well. And wow, those Alaskan views are just breathtaking! Can't wait to see more. Keep up the great work! 💚

The joys of a metal roof surprised you didn't slide off the Quonset. I'm a painter I slid off of one of those I don't like getting on those even if there is not any snow

You guys don't get appreciated enough on just how well photographed your videos are. beautiful drone work. beautiful B roll stuff. great atmospheric music choices. I'd love to see a video of someone else filming you making one of your videos. Keep up the great work

Mmmm, livin' the good life! In addition to loving your cooking and hunting/gathering content, I especially enjoy your stunning montages of the drone footage of the beauty of the land there. The images are so captivating and the music well chosen. I would watch your videos just for those alone. Ariel, you're a gifted photographer and videographer. And your work just keeps getting better...love, love, love it.

Pretty much the same thing here in northeastern Pennsylvania. We had a few (3" - 4") inches of snow about two weeks ago and then it got cold so it stayed white for about a week to ten days. Now it's high 30's to mid 40 degrees with typical cloudy winter skies. We live in the Susquehanna River valley at about 450 ft. above sea level so I imagine that there is snow up in the 2400 ft. mountains to our north. Winters here are definitely warmer than they used to be here in our area at least.

Good evening from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures in life and the farm

MY FAVORITE ALASKAN OFF GRID KZread COUPLE!!! 😁👍🏼

I don't know if you realize how truly lucky you are to have met a woman like her, let alone your true "soul mate"! I love your content and your interactions together! ❤

All the food has my mouth watering. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the memories. Lived in Palmer AK 50 years ago. Old couple in North Alabama.

Frozen hair. Frozen mustache. So cold the snow squeaks. Scary snow removal. Great video!

God I LOVE the shots of the puppers all cozy in their blankets!!!

Hello from Kerrville Tx. Drone shots and music awesome! Then all the sounds of your every day life in the cabin awesome. Sometimes words don’t need to be spoken. Thanks for sharing your life with us!!

So happy to see everyone doing so well. Nice moustache Eric! Thanks for giving us a much needed Tuesday treat. Be safe.

Just love watching your videos. Your homestead looks so organised and peaceful. Lovely to see you feeding your pets what you eat. ❤

Man yall work incredibly hard. God bless you both. Dinner and dessert looked delicious “for the hour ahead” lol. Stay warm ! I just love the music and scenery. Your talent exceeds most in so many ways. Glad you share

"Eric & Ariele's Canine Geriatric Facility" squeaking a stuffy duck is a MUST for an old dude on a cold day....❤ (Love the video graphics and the FOOD, as always. Hope you guys enjoy Alaska life even half as much as it looks like you do! Be well!)

Fantastic video as always. I could have watched this for hours. Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventures and life with us.

We can't get enough of you two. Always love watching every show ❤

Eric, when you can take two fish and bang them together like baseball bats, I think they are a little beyond the point of being referred to as "fresh fish". LoL

Love be the first one to like your videos....lol...tks now I must watch...been waiting for it. Much love from Blue Ridge Mtns of North Carolina.

Pepper is such a gorgeous cat & Bo & Bandit are the most handsome pups around! Thanks for sharing them with us over the years as well as your amazing adventurous life. I look forward to "visiting" with you all each week. 💜🤗

❤ I always, always enjoy you both! From the care you take of your animals and each other to your adventures and your cooking! I have to say it again I love watching you create in the kitchen, it looked delicious! 😋 ❤❤❤

"This video is a great reminder of the beauty in every season

A fine Alaskan day!

As always great viewing thank you both.

All's right with the world in you neck of the world. Thank you for taking us along.

You'll never run out of project work and from the looks of all these recipes always have a tasty fireside meal!!😎🥶

Love the music and scenery you show in your vlogs. I get to see Alaska thru y’all’s eyes. Thank you

You two work so hard! I love watching your videos…best ones that showcase your area…stay safe and warm!

We have found something we do not like about your videos! They are over way way too quickly. Love your videos! THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR DAYS WITH US!

I really enjoy hearing pauses of silence and just hearing you work. It’s very relaxing, like asmr 😊❤

I think there is nothing as glorious than a rainbow made from a beautiful Alaskan sun sun setting on the glinting white snow. Never seen anything like that before and it was so beautiful!

I lived in n Minnesota for a few years, watching you guys freeze your butts off brings back memories of when I was a young dog like you. As you get older that cold gets harder to deal with. Plan for that but keep on keeping on, love your channel, the drone footage is awesome.

Yes--- and here you are-- good for us!!

I keep loving the straight down air views of this beautiful area you live at. Dinner time and no one was forgotten. Awesome video

Once again I come here to say how much I adore how you treat your animals! Making them a special meal warms my heart! ❤

The ‘squeaky snow’ reminds me of growing up in upstate New York and the many years I spent in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Squeaky snow only happens when it’s below zero. Also the drone video is fabulous! It really captures winter in Alaska.

Always happy to see you guys. Hard life but what a beautiful way to live your life peacefully..

Living the American dream😊 The opening scene was amazing! Thank you!

Great episode. Your cooking demonstrations are the best. There is no harder working couple than you two.

You guys are the best ever. Im so happy when your sharing all your honest hard work and loving your two pups! I think when your fishing is the most amazing! God bless you and all your endevers!

Your love of Alaska shines through in every single video you post. They are a great enjoyment week after week. Thank you so much! 🫶🏾

After a hard long day of work, watching this is the surest way to relax. Thank you.

I look forward to your videos so much! It’s so fun to watch the wildlife and beautiful scenery. You two are an example of living to the fullest. You continue to amaze me with all you’ve learned living in Alaska. Love the animals too. Stay warm ❤❤❤

I could watch the aerials and listen to the music for hours... Thanks for a peaceful time out from a busy day.

Thanks for sharing. Truly positive experiences. Enjoy watching your way of life and the hard work you put in to keep it going.

Thank you for the beautiful scenery. It always brightens my dreary winter days. Your cooking always looks delicious and filling. So many eggs. I enjoy seeing your babies (Beau, Bandit, and Pepper) doing well. I really like your mugs with your initials on them. They are snazzy.

You will soon be at a million👍🏻 Y’all have earned every bit of good fortune that comes your way. Thank you Eric for the beautiful camera work, i feel like I’m right there!

I love all your videos and some of my favorite are of Bandit when he's bugging his big brother and Bandit when he's trying to catch his reflection in the water. That guy is so funny! 😂 I don't have favorites, though. I love them both the same. ❤❤

Wow I love seeing your place from the air and those trees covered in snow is breathtaking. Wow all that snow removal is work. Of course all your babies look amazing. They are so precious. Don't know how y'all stand the minus temperatures. Y'all are amazing

I always love the video's you guys put out. The scenery is just beautiful.
