Only In Alaska | Unexpected Baby Moose & Snowstorm
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 04. 2021
- We take advantage of the unique opportunities we are presented with living in Alaska by repurposing a baby moose into food for our critters and the local wildlife. Before we can relocate the carcass and our game camera heavy snowfall forces us to change our schedule. Life in Alaska constantly reminds us we must always be ready for the unexpected.
We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀
Thank you for watching and supporting our channel! 💙

"Give back to the earth" is not a phrase I hear often anymore.. Thank you for reminding us
Definitely
And then get back to each other🥰
A true partnership is when you can dump a carcass together and still snuggle ☺
😆😆😆
LOLzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
Love this comment 💪🏽💙
A friend will help you move.
A *true* friend will help you move a body!!
Hahahaha the best comment in a long time
Bandit is like "ya it snowed!" Beau on the other hand is like "oh it snowed ugh!"
I've definitely got that Bo energy.
Bo is so adorable, I just want to hug him.
And Bandit!! They’re both so precious. Really different in energy level, but two sweethearts!
@@martylaughery9138 Yes Bandit is hilarious, he reminds me of a cartoon dog.
When I see a Simple Living Alaska video.. my heart warms and I know I will experience happiness for a while.
I love the tight sense of community in Alaska and how everyone is helping each other with what they can. Wish more places would be like that
There or! Hurricane Harvey brought (In Texas) out the3 best after the hurricane, water was 84: inside my daughters and son-in-laws house. People bringind ice, water, food, and just helping out total straingers.
It's because there's no diversity and people feel a sense of community
Be the change you want to see. If you want a sense of community, get out and meet your neighbors, volunteer, help someone who is elderly or a single parent. It can happen anywhere.
Beau, doesn’t like to play outside. Every time your in the yard in the winter he’s AOWL. He’s like I’ll watch the house n wood stove 😂
My favorite CZcams channel, it's just so pure and real. Never any crazy music or funky edits. You guys are great. Thanks for bringing us with you with everything you do!
You two are so humble,so real!! You use such wisdom! God bless & keep you!
And no unnecessary drama. Just regular day (Alaska style) to day life with a couple of hard working people.
took me a bit to get used to this channel but now it's one of my favorites, maybe because they are getting really good at documenting their adventure!
@@vernareed2692 you
My admiration for you both just keeps growing. Your work ethic, your willingness to reuse, repurpose, and be consistantly aware of our earth and its needs, and as you say, give back, is such a wonderful way of life. To share these parts of your philosophy is such a gift to everyone, and I thank you for it.
In this episode, Eric & Arielle show how easily they can hide a body (even in four feet of snow)!
😂 my thoughts exactly!
😂
LOL... dang man... had me chuckling good
Lol epic
better idea would be to take it to canada. RCMP can't solve any murders here
The cat eating the fly was too cute. Kinda threw their head back like they were taking a vitamin.
It doesn’t seem to matter what issues come your way, you always have positive attitudes and smiles on your faces! I think that’s why all other Alaskan videos can’t compare to yours!
It was zero degrees two days ago in Palmer. This Alaska winter is taking its sweet time this year
In the winters of 1977 and 1978 when we had that much snow on the ground, the Army Core of Engineers came in to clear our roads. We also had Helicopters rescuing people and taking them to shelters here in SW Ohio. Never want to go through that again.
You guys need a pole barn or shead to store all of your vehicles and snow removal equipment in. Wow, what a job ya'll had😲😨🥶😰
Have a blessed day, stay safe and healthy 🙏🥰👍👌🙏🦅🔔🗽🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
You guys are soooo disciplined. If I had driven to the nearest big town I would have got a heck of a lot more than ziplock bags. I would have shopped and shopped! 🤣
I'm with you!! I can't imagine driving that far on those roads to buy 75 Zip Locks 😳 😆😆
If anything, that tells a lot about the price of gas in the states. Anywhere else in the world you'd be damn sure to make that trip worth more than 20 bucks worth of ziplock bags.
@@Bramble20322 Wasilla gas prices are around $2.89 right now.
When you all have to pay $1.80 a litre then you can complain.... (3.78 litres in a gallon- $1.80 x 3.78 = $6.80) (in Australia 🇦🇺)
@@kateymateymusic1 ...and just a touch dearer in New Zealand!!
Bravo! As always, you guys delivered a beautiful video. So many people try to hard to do a video and fail miserably. You guys are 100% natural. All that snow would of made me cry!!! I'm done with snow too!!! Love the dogs going through the new snow. God bless and keep safe and warm!
I love watching you guys. I live in Wasilla and it great to see people living like you guys do. I have started using some of the tips and tricks you guys share. Not everyone understands what it is like to live up here. You guys definitely show what Alaska living is like unlike the other fake shows like history channel and discovery channel shows people.
I live in Homer, and it's exactly like that. It's so refreshing and, especially compared to the kilcher's show. I live just a few miles from them, basically in town. They are wonderful people, just get portrayed as people they aren't.
I couldn't do it but it's like a wonderful dream watching them (but then again I am over 70).
K
@@nathanasimpson one of the Kilchers saved my uncle’s life back in the late 60’s - might have been Otto. Anyway we try to watch their show but it has moved on from what it was in the beginning.
I lived in Michigan, done all except the moose.
Seeing you guys work as a unit I can see all of your tasks completely accomplished.
I truly enjoy your videos. Be careful you two, keeping looking out for each other.
You are such a joy to visit...that's what it feels like to this senor girl still in emergency stay home order in North Bay Ontario. Only recommended to go out for groceries or meds! So you can see how special it is when we get one of your videos. Thank you so much.
I agree.
These two are one of the best couples on CZcams, and the BEST of life in Alaska channels!! ❤️😘👍
@@martylaughery9138 Yes Indeed.
North bay my home town . Say hi to lake nippissing and the whole west Ferris area, especially Campbell ave for me . Be well all.
@@gurugossip7450 Gladly. :)
You've done a good job with the baby moose. Nothing wasted. Wish you and your friendly neighbours a great year in beautiful Alaska.
This much snow is aggrivating. I just cant deal .... I would just stay inside and do nothing. You guys should have a clip of doing nothing but chill and cozy up with your pups 🥰
Love your videos... Can't wait for garden season 😍
Arielle and Eric, thank you so much for sharing your egg pickling video a few days ago. I’d never made them, but there’s a sale at our local restaurant supply store, so why not? I tasted the dill brine I’d made (Claussen dill pickle juice, diced dill pickles, minced garlic [whatever they’d used] as well as additional mustard seeds as well as Gaujillo chilis). I’ve waterbath-canned the jars and dated them for 3 weeks out. ‘Feels like a future Christmas present to myself. 😉 Thank you for sharing your moose carcass breakdown as well as your shelter. MUCH better than the usual “Costco tent”. Thank you so much for sharing yourselves and your life’s journey. Bless you both!
I love how many homemade food recipes they share with their viewers! That chili looks sooo freaking awesome and yummy
I love your videos! I wish you could post more often, theyre so relaxing and really help my night time anxiety before bed (: ❤️ GREAT JOB
What a score of a bounty for you and those good boys! Those will be some very happy dogs over the next few months' time. Lookin' forward to seeing the pix you end up getting. As soon as it warms up a bit, the scent will travel well.
For someone that has never seen snow that blows me away,just watching what you have to do on a daily basis,wow.keep it it up.love watching.o and I live in Queensland Australia
Despite everything, awesome attitude! Great score with that moose! Glad to see Beau! 🐶 😊
Always amazed that you have to keep lighting your wood stove. When I lived there, we kept the fire going all day and night.
I thought they do that
We tend to let it go out or our cabin gets too hot
@@SimpleLivingAlaska that's some great insulation
I just love how well you two work together.
Love how you both communicate with each other so well! Great score on the moose.
Sometimes, when I get done processing a baby moose and clearing a ton of snow, I like to sit down and leaf my way though the Burgess Spring 2021 Garden Catalog. Another awesome video, love them dogs!!!
Thanks for another great video. Look forward to the next one as always. 😊
I’m new to your channel, but I long to find someone who wants to live like this with me! So happy for you both and keep on doing what you’re doing ! Oh and the doggy time is the best!
Man, here I am putting in some spring crop outdoors and you all are still getting snow! Alaska is beautiful, but I would be going crazy not having my hands in the dirt by now! I wish you an amazing gardening season and excellent video!
Every one of your videos makes me hungry 🤤 Y’all are always cooking such delicious looking foods!! Thanks so much for making such amazing, entertaining, and educating videos. I love getting watch each one!! You both look like you’d be amazing folks to be neighbors and friends with 💜 Please keep it up!!
Love these videos!! It’s what they give back to Mother Earth and real living.
I appreciate and enjoy the beauty and real life of how you choose to live.
Omg,Ariel,I keep going back and watching all the intros.,you r great lady,keep them coming pleass,please, Eric's drone coverage is awesome,ty so much
Wow what a job. Well done ✅ with the baby moose awww bless his heart 💜
We LOVE you guys. I am close to 74 an love what you have done on the homestead. I wish we were younger to keep doing what we really want to do with our lives. We just retired so these golden years are just starting. Again Love you guys.
Oh my gosh! Those corn muffins and Chilli must taste ausum after being out in that cold snow all day!😋! Spring is just around the corner!
Wow ,that’s a lot of snow. Love from a snowless part of the UK. 🇬🇧
I love it when you guys make your own bread. Everything you cook makes me so hungry
Yay, sharing that baby carcass is wonderful, like the natives,every part will be consumed. Nice snow mobile trip, that snow is DEEEEEEP! Venus cat trap.pretty cute!!❗️
What a great video! You two are living a beautiful life, and you work so hard!! You produce such interesting, well edited videos. The chickens are gorgeous, the dogs and kitty are precious, and you two are like a well-oiled machine when you’re working together. What a fascinating view of life in Alaska you share with people like me who will never live that life. May God always bless you and keep you safe. ❤️🙏🏼 Thank you for sharing your joy with so many!! 😘👍
Well said!
What a beautiful winter day and thank you for sharing your life with us
Living in Alaska is a full body workout!
I love the random cold and snowy bout last week and now it’s darn near 50°! Late snowstorm, that’s for sure.
Love how you show the ups and downs...!
You two deserve tje blessing for your dogs, you do amazing things!
I'm impressed with how well behaved your dogs seem when there's fresh food around. That moose meat will be a nice change from fish for the lads.
I'm glad to hear from y'all! I heard about the snow storm and was worried. It's gorgeous, but overwhelming! That baby will be living on in your beautiful pups! Take care and be safe! ☮️ Peace and love 💜 from Kimberly in South Dakota 💙❤️
I've been watching your videos completely out of order but this is what I have hoped for since I can remeber. I've always had chickens we live pickling eggs!!! I live the life you lead and congrats on learning every single step of the way.
Y'all are so lucky with snow ❄ I love it and Thank you for sharing ❤y'all adventures and be careful 💗
U guys r so cool… so informative.. cudos 4your lifestyle and I love that u take your babies with u everywhere
I am addicted to you both.You are so natural in your everyday activities. Please do more! I am learning to be more patience watching you get stuck (haha}. You are making many more trails than you are trying to.
Love all your videos! Yous are such a lovely hardworking couple ❤
Col video guys. What an adventure getting those snow machines through that snow. Take care!
Yeah you guys have gotten some late snow storms this year. I guess it’s making up for last years weak sauce winter. It’s spring here in Oklahoma and already 70’s trying to add garden boxes to my garden and I’m already sunburnt this week!
It's been 80 some days!
“Do you want to build a Snowman? It looks lovely but I can see it’s difficult to manage. Your opening shots immediately brought memories to me...... of Christmas cakes my mother used to make at home...... Royal icing, white and shining like your snow and with little frosted fir trees for decoration. Mum used to take orders for her cakes and one of my jobs was to do the soaking with brandy or whisky:). She could never make enough of those cakes and I remember the dining table covered with beautiful cakes ready for collection.
Christine Auld the cakes sound so good! So pretty! Love the picture you painted with the description!!
Looking at all the snow and cold plus unexpected snowstorms... when are you going to build a sauna? You've got enough wood to fire it up and enough snow to cool of in most of the time of the year.. I'd think you would really benefit from a good sauna!
OMG SO MUCH BEAUTIFUL SNOW I AM GLAD IT DOESN'T SNOW HERE LIKE THAT LOL LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS YOU ARE SO ADORABLE COUPLE
Always happy to watch your videos!! Thank you!! 🇺🇸
Omg you guys, this was a fiasco! And I loved every single minute of it! SO THANK YOU FOR SHARING 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
I love how you guy live …that’s a dream ,so peacefully 🤗to watch …Blessings 👋
You guys have that down to a science! Great job!
You guys have some amazing kit. You certainly need it, love watching your exploits.
I love you you are such a strong woman and you have such a beautiful conscience about the environment. Sometimes I miss your program but I love catching up with you guys, you are the absolute best people and my favorite channel I am sure.
Just a shout out here from Otis, Oregon. I know you are from Oregon, living off the grid myself! ❤️
I love you guys... I have laughed my ass off at this video... The two of you on snowmobiles taking turns getting stuck was about more than I could take...lol
You guys are hardy stock! I don’t even leave the house if there’s more than 3” of snow on the ground. Great video!
You guys are real pioneers!😃👍
Heck yeah! Get that path out to the outhouse!!! That Chilli does wonders! Lol!
Great choice of music with that drone footage, so calming
Greetings you awesome, hard working couple. While I understand that waking up to that much more work for the day may not be appealing, it must give you a great sense of security knowing how all your hard work (growing, canning and preserving food) and chopping wood for times like these really pays off! What an amazing life you two have built for yourselves there. Thanks so much for sharing the videos with us.
Your hard workers that's why I love alaska and it's people your tough. Thanks for saving the moose meat .
Love your videos. A story in each episode.
So good to see you guys again (you to Ariel and Eric 😏) That was a baby moose! Hope the chili was half as good as it looked. I was all set to watch a movie then saw your upload - watching you guys is better than a movie anyday! Thanks again for sharing Kitty, Bandit and Bo.
You said it!! They’re the best!!! 😊👍
Isn't it great when you can do life together with your best friend?
I love you guys when it comes to survival you 2 knock it out the park 👍🏽👍🏽awesome couple I’m sure you have your challenges but all you show is living a peaceful life .Living your Best Life 🌹❤️❤️❤️👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I grew up in Alaska and lived in Wasilla for a bit! These videos are so nostalgic for me, when he pulled out the snow blower I smiled at the memory of snow blowing my drive way
Why move away?
@@MrJonrocker I really like it there and I can see myself retiring in AK but it’s wasn’t the best career movie for me to stay
@@Hinshawlizzy Understood. After bouncing around the world, I cant picture myself living anyplace else.
I have enjoyed your CZcams so much.
Loved all your activities!
Wow, you know you've gotten a lot of snow when you need a snow blower to get your snow blower out!!
Haha 👍😂
Could be wind, but it looks as though you have some significant heat loss going on around the center area of the ridge line on your roof. Just thought I'd mention it, used to work in plumbing and heating. At :01 second mark.
the dogs seem amazed by all the manipulations and efforts of human beings and at the same time supportive :-D
Your joy and positive attitude is infectious ☺️🥰
Nice, a new video!
You guys are so amazing !!!!! Working so hard for food ! Everything is homemade !!!!
Share with us your chillie receipe !It looks so good !
I love watching every single video of you. It's so interesting and I learned a lot thanks to you.
Greatings from France 🇫🇷 😊 In French "moose" is called "élan"
What about “orignal”?
Your videos are like ASMR. Very relaxing. 😌 Great video!!
Jordan calls your chickens "land piranha." And if I'm not mistaken, I recognize the land you were flying over somewhere beyond the lake. If so, thank you for that. I'm just sitting here looking at the view and the snow, and I keep having to wipe tears to see. Absolutely cannot wait. So much awesomeness in this video, I could go on and on. Big, happy ❤️'s over here. Great video, guys!
Going to be 75° today in Beaverton Oregon, and I’m looking at our cherry tree full of blossoms. More power to you guys. Hope it warms up for ya soon
I just started watching your videos for a few weeks & I am thoroughly enjoying them. I am a 67 yr. old now home bound woman who's only outlet has been writing stories for fanfiction & CZcams videos. I am also a big fan of My Self Reliance with Shawn James who got me very interested in these types of videos. I also wrote a story for fanfiction called 'LIFE' about a young woman making a home in Alaska right outside of Fairbanks. I only wish I could have discovered this type of life style when I was a tons younger as I would have made it my life making a home as you all are now living.
I appreciate your sharing your lives with me as it is my outlet out of this house.
Thanks muches.......Jamie Crabtree-Messenger.......Chattanooga, Tennessee
Love the droon footage you show. It’s so beautiful there🤩.
I can’t imagine trying to navigate in that much snow... I’d be on my face a lot 🤪🤪🤪
Living my dream thru you❣️
Nice dump of snow. So jealous right now. Nice of the grader operator to plug your driveway. $9.50 to fill a 20# bottle in Alberta. So much fun in that snow. Pin it and drive it like a rental. Standing up driving helps. Now to see the camera photos. Cant wait to see what shows up. Thanks for the video
Your videos are so awesome,,, learning a lot about how you guys live and go about your work....
That drone footage tho!
You handle every bounty with such grace and care
Now that’s a lot of snow!!
So enjoy how you work together. Wish more people would. We have camped many times near Willow. Hubby fishes there. We love the area on drives.
"I hope she doesn't get stuck again."
...
"Yep, she got stuck again."
This made me laugh so hard! Thank you for sharing your life with us, as a Uni student in a city, it brings me a lot of peace !
