  • Hunting season is a full blown affair from the prep work to the excursion to harvesting and processing. Every year we are rewarded with the experience of hunting in Alaska's tough and vast landscape. Having the privilege to be among majestic wildlife is not something we take for granted.
    This year Arielle harvests her first ever Alaskan cow moose. We both couldn't be more appreciative for a short season and the wonderful meat and so much more this animal will provide for us.

    One thing about this channel that I admire is how you guys work as a team for everything.. it’s really nice to see your both on the same page.

    I'm not a vegetarian and fully understand the process. I love your respect for your hunt and the sustainability for harvesting your own meat. I still felt emotional for the moose cow. It's definitely something to reflect upon as we, socially, have become more disconnected from our food source.

    I have watched you two for the last couple years and I must say very inspiring. I grew up commercial fishing and hunting with my family here in kenai and I'm proud to say i am keeping the tradition alive for my kids. Super glad to have you guys in Alaska we need more rad people like you two.

    I know you hear it all the time, but I just found your channel and have truly enjoyed doing the “channel marathon “ to get caught up. You guys are really impressive. Wonderful to see people who are so responsible and self sufficient. Have already learned so much! Thank you for sharing.

    The amount of people who can set up well composed time lapse shots, narrate and edit a story, yet also hunt/butcher a moose is likely a pretty small group. I wish you two and your channel the best. Living in the part of the US were the low quite possibly may not have fallen below 70 in the last 5 months I had to chuckle about your 'getting hot today' regarding 70F comment.

    Guys I used to live I Fairbanks and have hunted moose and caribou, so I know how hard the mosquitoes and the processing really is. You guys made it look easy. Great vid.

    this channel is exactly what ive been looking for as far as content. hard work, real life survival, perfect explanations/ demonstrations, NO PROFANITY, just a hard working couple living the life from what the videos make it out to be. I never thought Alaska would be such a beautiful place. Great job and amazing content!

    Congratulations! We just packed our moose out today. It was epic. No Polaris, but 4 horses did the trick! Gotta love this Alaska life. Blessings from the Kenai Peninsula!

    Hi, I'm a 87 yr. old man from Ohio ( Gary ) and I really admire you two. I watch you every day and enjoy it. I used to hunt deer a lot and enjoyed it and really enjoyed the out doors. I don't walk to good anymore But you really have a keeper in that lady and I would offer you 27 Quarts of beans and 40 # of Hamburg and a gallon of wine for her. All kidding aside, thanks for letting me share your life.

    When hunting, the easy part is the actual hunt. Now the work begins.

    You guys are pretty brave, and honest, to video and show this side of self sufficient living off grid. I will probably never go that far in living a self sufficient life but I admire your commitment. All the homesteading channels I watch stop short of filming the animal processing aspect of this lifestyle - there's a lot of criticism out there and they just don't want to deal with it. But it is a reality and one which you face honestly and respectfully. Good luck to you.

    Honestly... I don't care if I'm first or one hundred and first... I just appreciate the parts of your lives that you share... A lot of good meat for the winter... Congratulations!!

    Of the 5 or so 6 channels that I watch and subscribe to, and I’ve really narrowed it down, Your’s is the most authentic, and real life experience that I have enjoyed. I am honestly impressed by what you have been able to accomplish as a team in this video, and I am consistently impressed by how much you both pack into a day. My old Foxfire books, even if updated, would not hold a candle to this. I think you both should seriously think about a video series, or some type of permanent log of your accomplishments. It is truly impressive- what you both have been able to accomplish. And I mean this comment as sincere as I can offer it as a family law lawyer for over 37 years: It is a very, very rare thing to see two people in a relationship work together as cohesively and as a team as you do. This is worthy of some reflection by you both- and maybe it helps to see yourselves through the lease of the rest of the world sometimes. But you should see what we see. Congrats. Keep up the great vids. I am so much enjoying them in my retirement. Great. Good for you.
