I respect other views and opinions but the fur auction is as iconic as the sled racing in Alaska. That is still how some make a living for their family. It is very regulated just like hunting, and trappers are very good stewards of the animals on their line. Great video
Totally agree! They truly live a honest hard working life. It’s a beautiful thing to remember history and allow it to live through the next generation. It’s why canning and gardens and homesteads are making a comeback.
We can and should never let go of the tradition let have keep this nation going through hard times, the moment we do the whole system will fail us, as has already been shown. Plus let's face it simply is better for us in so many ways....mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Been watching Alaska's channels for about 5 years first time I seen any of the things you showed me.Thanks from Colorado Springs 😀
Wow the parade was great 😁 we love AMERICA 🥰 food looks great yum 😋 thanks so much for the bring along ,dog race was exciting 🐺 glad u were able to purchase a very warm fur I would like the coat the auctioneer was wearing 😊nice to c u having fun 🥰 you guys work so hard ,🥰
The Iditarod is something to see. All those dogs want to do is run. What a fun day you and Aaron had. Thank you so much for sharing. Hope you enjoyed your day. Take care my friend✌️🇺🇸❤️❤️
That was so fun. Thank you for sharing that with us!!
I have been to the Iditarod a few times, and a, volunteer one year. However I haven't got to see fur Rondy yet. Hopefully in the near future I will get to experience it as well. Love the dogs for sure!!!! Thanks Jessica for inviting us along on the adventure.
Loved seeing your day out and seeing the fur auction.... there is nothing like fur snowmobile mitts. Never ever cold.
Have your pelt made into something that you'll use every year, it will last your lifetime 🎉 that's honoring the old ways and the fur & life of that animal. Blessings TY for highlighting and sharing.
I'm from Quebec, which was very big and founded in the beaver pelt fur trade in the 1600s and 1700s. It's a way of life and warmth. Not fashion.
Live with thanksgiving for your pelt and eventual garment. TY for sharing, perhaps socially unpopular. But important to share fur = warm.
Sending love from Ontario 🇨🇦
Love this! Thank you for seeing and understand we are honoring the way of life that allowed so many to even survive up here. Being allergic to the cold my head and ears get the brunt of it when we are out. So I got a fox that will keep my head warm I’m excited to see how it turns out.
@modernhomesteadalaska Jessica, Can't wait to see your new fox hat. You'll be so warm, even if wet. It'll be for your lifetime ✨️ it may save your life one day, and it will save your health. Blessings ❄️ 🙌
This was such a fun video to watch. So many things to do in one day! That was the first fur auction I have ever seen. The fur trade has always been a way for people to make a living all over the world! God bless you all!
Lots of fun!
Thank you sooo much for the trip to the Rendezvou. We bought the collector's pin and went to that for many many years. Bet they didn't have to bring in any snow this year,
The real race starts up the hwy near Willow.
Peta is been trying to stop that for as long as I remember. The dog's LOVE to race they are raised on that. I've never been to Nome though. Maybe someday. It would be a thrill to watch them come in.
When you went to the auction I checked off the hides I have on the walls in front of me right now but they are animals Tom actually got himself. So nice to see downtown again. Thanks for doing that.❤❤❤
I wonder if our friends from Whitehorse were racing with their dogs? They do the sprints. Also, the fur trapping is a way of life for some in the north. It's done ethically & is definitely some of the best outerwear for those conditions
Oh wow that looked like a lot of fun ❤ i would love to see all of that .
Thank you for taking us along. There’s a lot of different things you can do. That’s really great .❤
Agree so many ways to celebrate
What an awesome day spent in your beautiful state! Thanks for taking us along! 💛
That was awesome! Too bad those furs didn’t go for a lot more money! They are incredible and very rare these days!🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦🍁
NEVER EVER heard of this event before the Race.Loved the jumping dogs before race start and wonderful fur sale.Many thanks.
Hi sweet one! What a wonderful and fun day!!!! I am so happy you and Aaron got to spend it together. OK...now I want to see your fur!!! LOL!!!! Big hugs and many blessings!
Thank you for bringing us along!! I would have bought the fox and what I think was a weasel (mink). 😊
This was fun to watch. Thanks for taking us along.
So glad we kept it short to give a preview and not drag it out. Glad you liked it
Such an iconic Alaska event. Thanks for sharing this friend. I remember going as a little girl at four and five years old to the Fur Rondy carnival. Thanks for reminding me of the fun.
Thank you my friend! That’s a wonderful memory
Love the Glacier Brew House. The fur auction have a lot of amazing furs.
Thanks bill yeah we do love that place!
What a fun show today. Great adventure.
Hi Jessica and Aaron! What a fun day.
Aaron was in great spirits with his flags. The restaurant sounds like they serve good food.
I’ve always wanted to see the dog sled races in person. Beautiful furs, so nice. I’ve always thought the Arctic Fox. The tanning process is very laborious. Thank you both for sharing your day with us.
Have a blessed night!
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate that so much
What great videos!
My daughter just moved to Anchorage, Alaska with her fiancé . Will be coming to visit at some point. Can’t wait to see in person this beautiful place you show me.
Love it! You will love it
hi Jessica and Aaron
I wonder if Jesse from Life Below Zero was running his dog team? ? The dogs are so excited to get running!! I'd love to see it just once along with Alaska!! And to purchase a fur too
Thanks for sharing. Learned something new.
Beautiful
Thank you
Thanks for sharing.
What a fun day. 🎉 I always find it interesting what different communities continue to celebrate. Of course, it's the richness of the land. Enjoy the fir( you'll have to show it to us once you are home) take good care!! 😊
Love it❤️
I am always pleased to see you having a fun time! I find the dog racing to be fascinating! I had my hands full trying to walk two cocker spaniels🤭. Until our next visit,
❤ Momma G.
Momma G! My friend I missed you! Hope you are doing well!
Like your video and the dog race 🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺👏 and fur actions 🥶❄️👍
Thank you it’s all so neat to see!
Hello Aaron and Jessica, I remember going to those many years back. It looks like you guys had a good time. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing,you all have fun.
Awesome.
Thanks
Love the hometown vibes of the parade reminds me of community gatherings when I was a child and the dinosaurs roamed the earth. (F74) lol
It’s such a cool city! It was very much like our childhood too.
Wonderful video, brought back many memories for me. My first date with my now ex-husband was exactly what you did. The dog races, fur auction, carnival and a good restaurant. I am sorry I didn’t make it back to Alaska this year to see this (On my bucket list). But the fond memories of Alaska and now your new video kept me smiling. It was a nice walk down memory lane since I’ve always loved Alaska.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love it!
Thank you
It was like being there with you. So fun.
no EVs,yeah.
well that was different! Not something you'd see here in Texas!
Hello Friend !
Hello my friend.
What will you make with your fur?😊
I watch alot of Alaska shows and really wanted to know if you were going to make a hat or a muff? I realize that life is different everywhere. Hawaii tradition are different then Alaskas. Enjoy your family and your adventures.
Hello Im sorry for asking this but Ive never seen in real life snow or a dog sled. Does the dogs get hurt when they do that? Ps Im from South Africa we only know alot alot of sun.
Not at all the dogs live for it. To run is all that way. There are like 100 vets on the race trail and the dogs are checked every day. It’s wild the priority and care the dogs get.
@@modernhomesteadalaska wow that is so so amazing thank you so much for explaining it to me now I know also. 🤗
What kind of dogs were there? I thought I saw greyhounds. What fur did you get?
They are Alaska Husky, they are very small dogs, it’s a little mind blowing actually. I would have thought big Husky style dogs.
I got one of the arctic foxes to have a head cover for all the ice/snow stuff we do. To try and keep my head warmer.
I know that those dogs live to race, and they are well cared for,....but I look at my dog that is reclining in a big fluffy bed. He is so far from a dog sled dog.
I also have mixed feeling about the fur auction. I would rather see the animals in the wild with their pelt on them.
I know that many people hunt and then use every bit of the animal, for food and many other things, but it hurts my heart to see this.
I am glad you two had a good day away from all the work at the homestead
I see your perspective I truly do. It’s good to have the perspective and understanding of a states history and how so many survived here for so long. I try to balance feelings and what Alaska truly is, from an honest place. I think you see that on my channel and have been so supportive.
I agree with you. The auction couldn't be left out of those video. My husband has an Alaskan Wolf Fur called. I told him to throw it away. It's an antique. I know exactly how you feel.
I like away you old videos. What happened ? I MISS OLD ALASKA VIDEOS
Sorry to hear that. Thank you for the previous support. We are Working out the changes to the channel. We will come into our own soon enough. And be the channel that is what we want it to be.
I'm glad you all put other things on your channel along with your family stuff. It makes your channel so much more interesting and fun to watch. Not to mention we get to see more of the towns and things happening around you and your sweet family.
Seeing the furs being sold was horrendous 😢 I can no longer watch your channel
Sounds good it’s called the Fur Rondy as part of Alaskas History. I’m ok with you not being Ok with that. I’m not going to hide what Alaska is to gain subscribers. That would be dishonest on my part. And that’s simply not who I am.
