- After the long winter spring is finally among us. We sow seeds indoors, tackle laundry and check on our overwintered bees for the first time this year. Between the snowy showers and ever changing skies, we eagerly await summer and the midnight sun.

Am I the only one itching for simple living Alaska garden tour 2021?!?Come on spring and summer! Good luck from Texas!
I am super excited too. I love the gardening and canning videos.
Is watching Garland TX n needs more
OMG! Thank you so much for mentioning my Mushroom Kit!!! Please enjoy and know I will be here for tech. support if needed.
Wait until you plant the Shaggy Mane out in the gardens...it's is coming your way!
The camera work and editing in this episode are exquisite. Your episodes have become such a wonderful marriage of thoughtful photography and honest, engaging education. You both radiate joy, grit, humor, and love. Thank you for your videos!
Well said.
Eric, here's a project for you: Build a box to elevate the washer, with a lip around the top to keep it contained when it vibrates, add wheels for easy mobility & leave one side open to store cleaning supplies. That would make laundry day so much easier.
Hi, a little tip to jumpstart your growing season in the tunnel : water it. Without water, soil life isn't degrading your organic matter, so you lose a few weeks until they start doing it after the first watering. In warmer climate like France, we water tunnels that have permanent mulch all winter long, so that worms and mushrooms will create that much needed humus even in winter. Without water, they just leave.
The music. The snow. The trees. Magical❤️
I know from reading through the comments that others have said the same, but I must say it again, y'all do amazing videos. I love the sounds of the work, the farm and the beauty of your land. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Keep up the great work
Bandit's "sit" was perfect. So glad to see Bo and Kitty. You guys have three beautiful companions. Another great video - thanks. Bo, Bandit, Kitty, chickens, bees, caterpillar, birds and a gorgeous owl. You guys live in an animal heaven.
I loved the quietness. No music, no overly loud narrating. Just showing the simple life. Lovely 💕
27:07 A Northern saw-whet owl, these are so tiny and cute
I always click on your videos when I need a distraction and it works perfectly. The music, the scenery, you guys work hard to create such gorgeous content for us and it shows. Thank you!
I have so much respect for you both as you work so hard on your land , and I get very excited to see a new video, and I even watched your your videos twice , thank you for letting us into your life
The view of the snow falling from the Sky is Beautiful.
Yes it is. I've never lived anywhere it snows. The flakes seemed HUGE in this - very beautiful! X
I love that you don't include music when you're working. The natural sounds are much nicer ❤️
It's amazing how well you two have adjusted to off grid Alaskan life.
Watching the snow fall looks so peaceful. What a beautiful life you are showing.
Soooo happy that your beez have made it through the Winter. Take care Eric & Arielle.
As simple as they might look, those shots of nature around (B-roll) with that soft and well chosen music on it are just making miracle. It's so relaxing and good even by watching them through here.
Thank you very much. I really enjoy it.
Eric makes “fringe eggs” like my dad used to make. He liked that crispy around the edges and he called it “fringe”. Always looks so good when Eric makes them and brings back good memories to me!
Gday from Australia 👍
Big👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏to the one that puts the music with all the videos of beautiful nature. So creative! Thank you!!👏👏👏❤️
Hope you are not having troubles with the flooding. Stay well.
These guys make my day!!!! So dedicated & hard working!!! Love you guys!!!! Thanks for sharing your lovely life with us!!!! ❤️❤️
The owl was beautiful! Love your addition of the music in your edits. It brings you into the moment and I love it!
The slow motion and music was amazing!
You are the ONLY CZcams channel I watch anymore. So so so so so wonderful and stunning and calming! I’m obsessed!!!
@Abbie Landry, I am so excited when I see they drop a new episode even during my work hours I take a break.
Ditto!!
They really do have a great channel
There's just something about watching newborn plants that is so heartwarmingly special. Thank you for sharing with us.
This was magical, best yet.
I live in an apartment with no laundry hook ups, but after years of living in Asia. This is what they use over there. I thought one of those would be perfect, starting looking around and found one on Amazon for under a $100. Got that 3 years ago and it still works and does a great job. Picked up a 115v dryer and now I'm set. For all of you living in an apt, this is the way to go.
Where in Asia

Wow only $100? How well does it do with bulkier items?
@@chrisz.9974 You have to go to the laundromat for the big things.
Your place is sure home! The chickens,the garden,& outbuildings! And inside the cabin is so homey,cozy & fixed so nice! All the canning & preserving & freezing food!!
You guys seems like such good company for each other. Lovely to see such a well matched couple
Zaatar is actually a Middle Eastern mix made of oregano, sumac and sesamee seeds .. some people add other things but that is the base mix. It's used primarily on "fatayir" which is a baked flat dough .. you add oil to the zaatar and spread it on the dough and bake - pizza like. In recent years I've seen it used more and more as an "exotic" spice mix in cooking. Anyway, your breakfasts always look so delicious and hearty.
Why would anyone downvote this channel? It's so wholesome, educational, entertaining, loving, funny, etc. They're just living life.
Your filming and editing has grown exponentially. I always look forward to your videos. Bringing us along on and allow us a view into your lives is very much appreciated. Thank you!
The cinematography was exquisite this episode!
They get better and better with every episode. There are you tubers out there that rival tv
Zatar is a spice mixture used in Middle Eastern cooking....
Excellent- pictures i can't say- but have seen
They always are, in deed..
You beat me to this comment. I especially loved the caterpillar and the green eyes of that cat.
Although the last several months have been filled with ups and downs, your videos provides me with inspiration to move forward.
I like this video layout. It was very well spaced. I prefer the non quiet. But, I do realize a lot of people like the scenery with time to take it in. This one was perfect. On the other hand... the clip going to the Bhive Bo wasn’t leaving mom behind just for her camera shot... them dogs have great personalities, the cat too.
I've said it before but it bares repeating , whatever that one camera that you use for those outside , slightly slowed down scenes is frick'n awesome ! Like Hollywood grade ! I could watch hours of that .
So glad the bees are alive! Snow is still on the ground and falling from the skies... gosh, it's gorgeous there.
There's those good boys !!! Good to see 'em able to stretch their legs outside. Happy chickens, scratching away at the soil too. Nice to see the hives did ok. Good meals, as always too. Spring is nearly here !!
Amazing Video. Thank you
I don't know what it is about the sound of chopping wood that's so satisfying!!! Hearing the wood crack and split 🪓
There are only two seasons up in Alaska... winter and July!
Sounds like where I live too 😂😂 we joke we get one day of summer!
I was lucky to holiday in Alastair a few years ago one September ( I'm from the UK ) its beautiful had some glorious warm days and some drizzley days bit like here lol
I could watch you guys everyday, you are the ideal couple, so much respect and love for each other. Lx
The little twin tub washing machine reminds me of my first washing machine here in Hungary. My washing was by hand, in a big, white dish, I also bathed in for 3 or so months. Then I bought the little machine which did a mighty job for 4 years...until I gave it to a family, and bought a front loading washing machine. Ahh, bliss.
Kitty needs a kitty friend!!!!🐈🐈🐈🐈💞💞💞💞
Can you please do a sit down get to know you? I’d love to hear about your journey with adapting to life in Alaska and how you make it all work! Love your channel!
Yes it is!
The snow and music 👌🏼 was magical.
🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳
Zaatar is one of our favourite spices. It goes with bread, and dates. It's so healthy too.
Thank you, Arielle and Eric, for taking us along with you. I’m thrilled for you and your hives!
I am glad to see your bees are doing so well.....the music you select for each video is very nice and enjoyable....thanks for your hard work in preparing these videos!
The way you live is wonderful. It is surprising how many things you can do in this small cabin. Really hard work. 🥰
I just love watching your videos.
Another excellent episode from my two favorite people. Very calming and peaceful. Thanks guys for sharing the peek into your life as the snow starts to melt and the garden prep begins!
Just like everyone else in the comments,,We are 55-62 and desire land and the simple life ! We learn so much from you guys !
Nothing better than srarting off with good kindlin.. Goin to be a warm video
So perfect for Easter, He has risen and it shows in all this beauty and perfect cinematography Thank You for this video.. Would like to see a video with beautiful music and no talking just natures' beauty of Alaska........... so peaceful
Glad to see that the bee's are doing well
Loved the video, obviously the pets, bees and the wild life stole the show! We had a lovely cat like pepper his name was Percy. We had just lost our old cat Pip and my youngest son was devastated. Unbeknown to him, my sister who was over from Canada on a visit arranged for him to have a kitten, (when he was old enough to leave it's mother.) The owner put a ribbon 🎀 on him he was so tiny he sat on the palm of my hand. I can still see my son's face when he first saw his new pet. My husband loves your dogs but has a soft spot for Bo. All the best keep safe.
y'all have worked out ways around your challenges. I love the cooking segments. Good luck on this growing season. Thank you both for these videos.
I've been refreshing my feed for this episode all afternoon. So excited to watch 😁 I don't know the upload schedule but I had a feeling there would be one today. Can't wait for spring 🌼💖
The visual storytelling keeps improving. These videos have such great quality and amazing content. I can’t wait to see what you guys have planned for the summer!
Love watching your videos
Can't get enough of your lovely videos! Thank you so much for sharing bits and pieces of your life in Alaska 💕
I just love watching you all cook. Your food always looks so delicious. Really loved the beginning of this video. The shots of snow falling was so beautiful. So excited to see that you are getting ready for Spring!
a message for the ones who dislike this video:
I understand you. It hurts to know that you are not able to live this kind of live, not everyone can. So, please, enjoy and I stop the hate. I am just happy watching this guys living their live. Just watch and enjoy
and also, the bees are alive :)
People dislike for the algorithm as well.
Love you two kids, stay safe and happy
I had an older version of that washing machine from the 70's when my husband and I lived off grid in Washington State. I too loved it, especially the wringer. The clothes barely had any water left in them at all. We used water off our wood stove to fill it and I would drink cup after cup of green tea while I did the wash since the water was hot and available.
Very exciting the bees made it through looking forward to the bee updates in the future.
Nice to see the cat again!
Plants are sprouting and looking good. Busy time ahead of course you both stay busy all year long. More good looking meals on the table
Za'atar usually refers to a spice mix. It typically has sumac, thyme, oregano, and savory.
I always get all excited when you get ready to eat . To see how the food tastes and then you cut to another scene always ?? I about fall out of my chair in disappointment. Because I would like to see you try your food. Everyone wants to see your faces on how good it is.
Great to see spring is around the corner. Love the music you played at the last. The Fight. Thank you guys! Take care!
I am really excited it's time to start gardening again and I am looking forward to all of the lessons learned from the season before be put into the new plantings, There's always something to learn about or discover (even the small stuff) The bee's 👍 I forgot about them 😨 ... Wishing you a Happy and Bountiful growing season this year, 💟 watching and learning along the way, Thank you for sharing your journey.
I’m in Alaska and I couldn’t help myself and started a ton of seedlings😆😆 they are all over my counters and I’m enjoying watching them grow!
I am consistently amazed at your camera work. You have a happy talent for showing the beauty in things that might be considered mundane.
Thanks for sharing. You manage to teach without a lot of drama, although, I can see the reality and emotions of your life blended in.
Splendid video! Music, animals, bees, cooking. Eye candy!
Someday, please show us your milk supplier's operation and more about what you do with it.
Amazing what comes from all of those small seeds! Full of design and genetic information producing plants and fruit!
Love the snow falling,in South Africa where i live we never get snow. I really love the content that you show us seeing Alaska through your eyes, you two are doing good. Thank you💞
Beautiful snowfall scene. Another example of fine videography.
Mung Beans make AWESOME sprouts, easy to grow and DELICIOUS

Nice updates on your beehives and laundry machine. I was wondering about those two things. I’m glad to see your bees survived this year and your laundry situation had improved so much for you👍 I know exactly how hard and time consuming to do your laundry by hands. So exciting to see your garden getting ready. I need to do the same here. Thanks for sharing your great video. I enjoyed very much😊
Love everything about your channel.
Master chefs! Videography, photography,
music, just to name a few!
I love your washing machine!
You two are amazing!
I'm always impressed with how well your knives cut. Have you talked about favorite knives for cooking and prepping food?
Woo hoo! So happy when you post a new video. Once again, I feel Bo is my kindred spirit!
Love the little owl. Your filming is wonderful. Appreciate all the hard work.
the snowfall is so therapeutic to watch :) love watching your videos :)
The snow is so beautiful! It will be spring soon!
Another amazing video- the photography is absolutely amazing & beautiful Guys. I can't wait for your Spring/Summer to come for you so you can be outdoors growing beautiful vegetables- your chickens & dogs will just revel in it. Cheers Denise - Australia
I was chopping wood like this every winter until college. .... god, I DON'T miss it a bit!
