    Eric is such a great partner my dudes, he's so proud and encouraging. Arielle is also excellent at communicating when she raised her voice and said "Im sorry I'm not yelling at you, I'm just scared". Its the communication for me ❤❤❤

    • @johnyb9884
      @johnyb9884 Před 8 měsíci +40

      I completely agree. It’s important and not difficult to express your feelings. I appreciate her saying “I’m not mad at you………

      As a hearing impaired og I talk loudly sometimes in normal conversations with people and I have to be reminded of my loud voice. So yeah I’m not yelling. Lol 😂. Moonttellthat dad “don’t talk loud”

      Nice catch for team work. The last meal looked so good. Don't want to give away the ending.

      As a Brit with a weird fascination with Alaska, it's a hard agree. A&E are the most consistent and watchable Alaskan CZcamsrs. Make sure you hit the like button on every video they post (it helps them, a lot and is free and takes just a second).

    Seeing Eric’s excitement when Arielle caught her fish was priceless. 👍

    Arielle talking about the fish as if it’s a cat or dog she found on the street “we’re going to keep it I’m going to keep it “ 😂 love how freaking excited she was to catch something like a little kid lol

  • @rossy83

    Ariel was like a kid in a candy store with that lake trout. I just love how you two work and play together. The northern lights were super fantastic!

      We love the Vids & Research! Yeh Lake Trout in Canada & US seem to like the white 4" Tube with a spinner or spoon at front, summer or winter, I think 20 feet deeper summer? Let me know what you think? Tight Lines 😃🙃🧜‍♂

    My nickname for Eric is McGyver...he has the tools, ideas and attitude to take care of whatever is thrown his way. Ariel is his perfect counter part. "The Dynamic Duo" ❤

  • @himynameishelen
    @himynameishelen Před 8 měsíci +16

    When Eric handed Arielle that fish, her reaction was like she was being given her own new born baby! Near tears, totally in love, "he's beautiful!" I love your passion, lady- made me laugh out loud

    The best channel on CZcams 🏆Every single thing-what you’re doing, the cinematography, the editing-is just top notch. I didn’t know watching two people living their lives off grid in Alaska could be so entertaining and compelling!

      Oh me. I know how wonderful it must be and how dangerous.
      Please please hire a guide!
      Taking a young child into that environment can and will be so very dangerous! 😮
      God be with you guys.🤲 🙏
      I’d love to be young and strong enough to be there. But it’s much safer watching and hearing the adventures from Eric and Ariel.

  • @jenniferreilly4098
    @jenniferreilly4098 Před 8 měsíci +77

    Omg! I’ve been watching you guys for years and this is hands-down one of the BEST videos yet! The excitement of catching that beast of a fish was contagious, seeing the mink & the otter made me smile, and the Northern Lights were spectacular!!!

    • @LauPulstar
      @LauPulstar Před 8 měsíci +2

      True facts!!! It was a great video. It has some of eveything. I love how they post videos of "failed" hunting or fishing trips to keep it real AND to show that sometimes it Is all about the journey. But that makes me extra joyful for them when they are succesfull

    • @bobuncle6962

Anyone reading this please, if you haven’t already, go back to the beginning of the uploads of these two wonderful people that clearly love one another Very Very Much!
      I am old now. I’m 73 this month April, 2024

      Everyone with eyes, this couple love each other. And the Beautiful things We get to see. Well I think anyone that has read this far understands. These living Life to the fullest, is worth by watching their lives, unfold……….!

    Love it. When Areille mentions in the beginning of the video that they are making sure the path is clear to cabin before subjecting the dogs to a possible cold ride. It shows you can have fun in this type of climate, but it can turn serious, and you should be prepared.

    The excitement about the trout was infectious! Glad you kept it its gorgeous! I love your partnership so much you're so genuinely happy and excited to do things together and give eachother credit and it's very heartwarming.
    I was out in the field today and it was raining and in the 50's and all my classmates were complaining about the cold, we even saw snow on the top of the mountain. I found it amusing that the negatives were just waiting for me to experience vicariously! Even more amusing I had fried rice for lunch!
    The northern lights were stunning and the otters were adorable! I'm not yelling I'm just excited!
    Love from Arizona!

    Could Ariel get anymore excited about fishing ? That adventure was really something. Glad the dogs get to go and enjoy it also even with the extreme cold. Speaking of cold, equipment freezes up so you just deal with it. A big hammer solves alot of problems. My wife and I sure enjoy our favorite Alaskan couple. Be safe. Till next time.

    Not sure if someone's already said it but the numbered tag on the lake trout you caught is called an anchor dart tag aka "Floy tag". ADFG would definitely be interested in getting the recovery information: tag number, location, date caught, size (you measured total length in vid, not fork length), and sex if you remember from when you cleaned it.

    What a fun video, looked like a great trip. Eric, it looked like Arielle's "20 minute conversation with herself" about the correct jig payed off!! That was a BIG fish! My favorite thing about the two of you is your enthusiasm and zest for life. You two have figured out what life is really all about. Thanks for taking us along.

    Hello, besties!!! Goodness, -27° is BEYOND!!!! Y’all crack me up with your adventures in the cold. Literally, that’s the only reason why Alaska isn’t overrun with nuts like me. Hang on to your hankies, tho. I’ll be there one day. 😂❤

    Pay'n'Save was still around in the 1970s and I think the early 1980s before it vanished from western WA...which was when I was a little girl. I'll be 52 soon! Also, thumbs up SPECIFICALLY for "chickening out" on how far out on the ice you were willing to go. You're not desperation-fishing for pure survival; you have other food to eat, so you don't *have* to take dangerous risks. It's great to see such wisdom in action!

    You guys have evolved massive in production quality. Also very heart warming to watch the manner you speak to each other. I'm sure you have your own demons, but you're pushing through a very important message here for individuals. Listening, encouraging, acknowledging and so on.
    Wish you all the best from Europe.

    Our family would go out to one of those Forest Service cabins with another family and celebrate New Year’s Eve. Super fond memories for me. We’d have the snow machines and the dog team and do a big bon fire on the lake for New Year’s Eve night! So loved seeing you guys out there!

    Another awesome video. The wildlife, northerlights, scenery around the cabin, the cabin, music and last but not least the trout which i was laughing so hard when Arielle was pulling it in.
    I myself like trout which i used to fish for but, I'd have to say northern pike is my favorite.
    Thanks for another great fishing adventure.
    Blessings to you both. 😊🇺🇲
