- čas přidán 12. 02. 2021
- Join us in our kitchen for a day of non conventional canning in the midst of winter. We figure out what to do with our sprouted spuds, recreate a honey dijon mustard recipe, and repurpose wild elderberry sauce and high bush cranberry jelly into a spicy hot barbecue sauce. After all this preserving, we work up an appetite and Eric whips up homemade chips served alongside a juicy moose burger.

You have lived more in your short life than more who approaching 80's , and you have touched so many life in such a short period of time
I constantly can't stop thinking of the person I would still be if I hadn't found your channel : A extremely unhappy woman who hated her life and was so ashamed of her home, a woman filled with anxiety as a result of untreated trauma, a woman felt stuck and never saw a way out.
But you made me see the beauty in simple living and made appreciate my rural life even more, because of you I now know to bloom where I am planted
Finding your channel is a pure blessing to my soul and even if I eventually stop documenting my own journey, I will never forget you as an inspiration and my beam of light☀️.Thank you Eric and Arielle
Hi, Mayo…..I have found your channel equally inspirational and innovative. Both your channels provide unique points of view and methods for simple living. Thank you both for making my life better
@@anneelton5228 🤗💚
Did I hear, “how’s it going”? Eric says “it’s pretty chitty”! What a joker!!! 🃏 ❤️❤️😂😂
I BINGED watched your channel, today. Your reactions to catching that rainbow trout was CLASSIC. I was waiting for a new vid. Thank you. I am trying to be more self sustaining because store bought food makes me feel bad. At 64, I want to feel better and your channel has motivated me and helped me tremendously as to how to preserve foods.
Also binged! Better that netflix. Lol
@@elisawall7558 ...Same here. Alaska remote cabin and snowmobile binged last night...way past my bedtime on theis channel too.
I'm a chef and you have great favor talents. BBQ to me is clean out the fridge. Never to be duplicated
I love how you guys don't waste a thing.
That's the alaska way. Nothing is wasted.
Way to be!💥🙏❤🙏
Still looking for two wives; one that cleans and one that cooks..lol
@@agnesskibicka I guess so..2 subbie hubbies..would make great content..click bait..alaskan femdom preppers..lol
@@andreewert1142 If i could find one or two that could earn a decent leaving , I'd clean and cook. Raise a garden , hunt etc.
You make the BEST videos ever. It doesn’t matter what subject, you are ALWAYS interesting. Happy Valentines Day ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello from Japan 🇯🇵 I am Thai living in Japan I love nature and growing plants 🌱
Another fine day in the life of Eric and Arielle. A Bandit cameo, a gratuitous rooster shot, and his flock of hens. Some great food to cap it all off ! Rock on you two !
They are great.
Hallo, ihr seid gut. Aus den Patetos könntet ihr auch Kartoffelpuffer mit allen Zutaten fertig machen, braten und dann einfrieren. So hätte man im Winter auch etwas davon.
@@renateschultz9926Hallo, ich schaue auch aus Deutschland. Meinst Du, dass sie Deutsch verstehen?
The last two years I have stored my potatoes in insulated coolers stored in a unheated room.I need to watch for any moisture build up inside at times otherwise I am happy with this storage.The potatoes stay firm, no sprouting until May.I also stored my next year saved seeds in that also.
Tip: aging mustard helps to mellow it out. We made a batch of spicy brown type coarse mustard with jalapeños that was fiery when first made. It canned quite a large batch which lasted several years. After about 5 months, there was hardly any heat but all the flavor was still there.
Eric, here’s an old truck I was taught by my father in law, dig a hole in your garden that is at least 3 ‘ deep. Lay down plastic and straw, straw 2 feet , wheel barrow all of your potato’s and lay them in the straw, put another 2 feet of straw on top then plastic and cover with dirt. We saved 200 lbs over the winter and had potatoes until the next harvest! Worth a try, even if you do 20-30 lbs to see if it works! Good luck.
We got 6 inches of snow here in Seattle. I realized the importance of not dropping your keys in the snow. Thank you for giving us hope of a better life.
Food preservation is fascinating. I love how you don't waste anything. :-)
The hen house is looking good😁 Those ladies are thriving as are both of you. Be well and safe
You’re potatoes are the living
proof that we waste too much food. many of us would have thrown all of them away. Thank you for such informative and enjoyable videos
Whenever I have a free 30-50 minutes your videos is the first I go thru. I’ll make it thru all your videos soon
Great idea on repurposing the canning items to BBQ sauce and other things. Like the mustard recipe idea too! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the tips and homesteading hacks! It all seems to come so naturally to y'all! I love how you work together so well!
My favorite way to cook, "what do I have and what can I make with it."
If this just came up in my feed with this title & I didn't know who it was, I'd never watch it, but I watch all your videos & throughly enjoy all of them! Please keep them coming!
Ditto!
Y’all are my favorite. I love your videos so much!!
Same
They are the best!!
Agreed!
Same too!
Same
Very good ways to further your food storage. Try fermenting the mustard on the counter for a couple days, helps the seeds crack easie when you blend the mixture. I still have some taters left also, I feed the sprouts to the chickens. They don't mind extra snacks in these frigid temps. Stay warm friends!❤
I admire the way you both work and create a home and together.
I love listening to the lids pop as the jars seal, so satisfying ☺️
Tip for the chips. Soak the slices in salt water for 30min before frying.
Very productive day! Dinner looked delicious.
You guys are very busy living your dream, thanks for taking the time to allow us to share your dream, 🙏
Grating bottled potatoes and making hashbrowns is one of my favorite camping memories with my grandparents. Quick cooking for the cabin trips.
Well, I'm pretty sure there's not much I can say that someone else has not already said... With that said, I just freaking LOVE you guys. You're the very best at what you do, how you team up, love each other, take care of Bo, Bandit n the birdies & just EVERYTHING!!!!!!🙏💕🙏🤗💥💥💥⛄
👵67inHotFL😎😜😁
I love how you two work together! And, I love that you share your journey with all of us! Blessings to you both and the fur babies!
I love how you have evolved. No loud music. You love each other so much and all your family on your land. You stay busy which is good and away from other people. I have enjoyed your videos for a long time. Love your doggies (babies). Will you get more dogs soon? God bless you guys!
Just when I was grumpily thinking "I bet there's nothing decent to watch on CZcams ", I see the smiling faces of two of my favourite people! You guys always instil calm and also a bit of a nudge to get off my backside and do something useful 😄
I'm in the planning stages of autumn planting- my entire summer garden, apart from garlic and lettuce, was a disaster this year.
I'm not sure if I already mentioned this, but on the website Nourished Kitchen there is a great recipe for fermented mustard; I think you would enjoy it
I love how you reused an unloved flavor to make a dynamic bbq sauce! I hadn’t heard you say “cowboy candy” in awhile, so that was nice too. Lots of work, thanks for another beautiful (in its own way) video.
Those purple potatos are so pretty!!!! The BBQ sauce and mustard looked yummy.
The little things like throwing the snow at the camera adds so much to your videos. It’s fun for us when we see you having fun and being comfortable.
Those are some happy chickens..I know we raised three hundred at a time on the farm when I was a kid...
I know that I want a taste of the bbq sauce...A meal is good when shared....And becomes great when shared with loved ones.....My very best for you and yours...Jim
Such a peaceful flock! Love their sounds.
You two are such an inspiration! Thank you, for another rad video and sharing your journey with “us”! 💓Happy Valentines Day!!! 💓
You guys are such a beautiful set of soulmates! 💕 Sending love to your boys too, Happy Valentine’s Day, Beau and Bandit, from Eureka Springs, Arkansas! -Sara
I'm from siloamsprgs ark!
Happy Valentine’s Day. Thanks for the great video as usual. Glad we got an update on the root crops. I liked both mustard and BBQ sauce. I used to make to order for large batches of Ribs in GA. Easy with the cane sugar syrup and molasses there. I realize you cook a lot like I do whatever is to hand or needs to be used, but I would really enjoy a cookbook with your great photography and some backstory. I think a lot of your viewers would purchase. I know you have lives and it takes a lot for something like that but what the heck I’m greedy. Love the channel thank you.
Watching the older videos i love them
Love to watch the canning with different recipes 😋
Great channel, teaching us what to expect. Watching someone be resourceful is relaxing 😎
You guys work so well with each other...both of you're a match made in heaven. I
am learning so much from you guys, thanks.
Happy Valentine's Day. I can see you've had a great day. I love watching your preserving and eating. Better than a cooking show any day. :)
Love you guys. A breath of fresh air. Authentic!!!!!!
Great job!!! Everybody gets to enjoy the potatoes.❤🐓 Sauces look fabulous!!👍👍
All the comforts of Home. Love to you both!
I love your creativity in the kitchen. It's a good example of not letting anything go to waste.
That Bbq sauce looks great, l love a sweet & spicy flavor 😷🙏
Have you considered cutting out a trap door in your floor climb down build 4 walls to wall it off from the rest of the area under the floor and use it for your root veggie storage?
This is the first year I've been successful growing potatoes, I have so many and will definitely be canning them! You two are awesome ♥
I bought a 50 lb bag of potatoes last year. It was right near Thanksgiving time. Cooked up 10 lbs for Thanksgiving. Canned the other 40 lbs. It was my first time canning potatoes. I taught myself the water bath and pressure can last year. I'm hooked.
“Really chitty”!?... I love it! 😂
I look forward to all of your videos, I love how simple you're life is. I've always loved how beautiful Alaska is but I could never imagine living with the extreme cold weather you get.
I love watching your videos which are very straight forward ...instructional...I wish that kind of life...
Thank you two for carrying us along on your Alaska adventure. You are so informative and so interesting in everything that you do on your farm. I anxiously await each video.
I was told by an old farmer to store potatoes around 38°. If they sprout simply break sprouts off and put them back in storage. Scab can be caused by ashes and if they where planted where there was a pile of brush burnt. Love the videos.
On the way to 1 million subscribers!
I never want your videos to end!!
You guys should have your own TV series!!! GOD speed. JC
Absolutely love you guys so much!!! Watch all your videos, you guys inspire our canning and bread making so much. Thank you for sharing your awesome life with us all!! Appreciate you guys so much!! Keep up all the great work💕
When I get a notification of a new video I know I’m about to learn something interesting.
Aloha from Hawai’i
Love your guys videos!!!
I've never seen potatoes grow such long sprouts before, wow.
Def my favorite when it’s a food related video.. Love the recipes and how delicious everything always turns out..
Yes, I’m 76 and I always canned a three year cycle of food
I remember when growing up are parents sent us down to our root cellar and desprout all the potatoes 🤭🤭🤭
Good times 😂😂
I was thinking from your last video you guys should make your alaskan photos into puzzles you guys have some of the most beautiful cinematography ive ever seen i would love to have a puzzle.
Everytime I watch you canning I get the urge but it doesn't take long to go away. Still it's great for those who are loyal and smart enough to do it.
Could you make potato flour or starch also, I make mashed potatoes with sour cream and freeze them in nuggets. The reheat beautifully. They would probably travel to your cabin well.
I have found the only way to preserve potatoes is use garbage cans 50 gallon drums you put in a layer of sand your potatoes sand Alara gunny sack Moore's and more potatoes more sand Larry gunny sack and you continue the process until they your Barrel is full I've never done it myself but I've had potatoes out of those barrels a year later and it was like they just came out of the garden
Paul, do you use totally dry sand or slightly damp sand as is generally recommended for storing carrots?
Gunny sack..Where do you get those these days? Heard the old saying "She would look good wearing. nothing special bit just a gunny sack." lol
@@bossforever1865 I think they can still be found in farm supply stores.
@@bossforever1865 The material is called burlap and can be found in most craft and sewing stores.
You guys leave in the paradise! What a beautiful life. I enjoy so much watching your channel. Thank you
You two are the biggest inspirations to my partner Carl and I. Your videos have become part of our very early morning routine of coffee and inspiration! Thank you!
Wonderful video y’all!! Just a side note, down here in SW La we would use dat awesome mustard and marinate our wild game meat with dat and buttermilk. Adds a lot of flavor. Ayeee!! SW La fan!
I watched a YT channel that is in Russia. They dig huge holes after harvesting the potatoes and beets. They bagged the potatoes and beets in those netted bags. Then they layered the bags with straw in between each layer. This was like in Siberia so it gets really cold there. They covered the holes with dirt into domes. This kept them all winter without freezing. The holes were not really deep but slightly below the frost line. Perhaps that could work for you.
Y’all are in a bog, right? What’s the channel?
Water table is too high there.
Thats how people in the south at least prior to 1950 did it. Dig a hole line it with gunny sacks, stored all kinds of root Veg, then covered with straw then dirt. go out and get them as you needed them . Making sure you recover . It's sorta primative root cellar, Or poor mans.
This is how most Gardeners’ in Ireland will store potatoes but they do it in a heap above the ground as water table also too high. It works great but temps only as low as -15C.
I put my sprouted potatoes into buckets or plant pots with potting soil. I then place the containers of potatoes on a desktop near a N. W. window sill and grow them until planting time. When the weather is ready then I place the plant containers outside in the shade till they adjust to the light. They grow well in pots or grow bags. I do this with sweet potatoes too. They like growing in my house and it gives them a jump on the season. Try it you’ll like it.
Another great video!! Can’t wait to see what you grow in the garden this year and how you can, cook and use all the harvest! Love these videos!! Love you guys! Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️(I’d love to see how you two celebrate any Hollidays!)
25 minutes and 5k views. You guys are doing something right!
Have y’all ever considered a podcast? I could listen to you guys talking to each other about nothing for hours, homestead related or not. ❤️🙏🏻
I love your videos. I can’t stop watching them. 😃 peace love and light.
Arielle you are so amazing! I could learn a lot from you! And Eric you are so nice and so good to your wife.... You are both a Star to me love every video you show! You are both very good company! Love you both.
Amazing! Inspired me to try making mustard tomorrow! Super excited 😀
You guys are my favorite frontier foodies !!
That's awesome t-shirt idea!
Both the mustard & bbq sauce looks delicious! Love the way you don't waste anything!
You guys are killin me! It's like a constant stream of delectable culinary experiments
The chickens say thank you and it looked like a good day for canning I used to put a bit a pinch of kosher salt in mine in the first boil just make them taste a little more🤓🐝 the potatoes
Wow allways good to here from yaw too
Discovered your channel over the last month and it's been a pleasure. At 62 years old, it's never too late to start eating better quality food and start cooking the basics at home. You guys are quite an inspiration. I think that if people spent more time watching your videos and less time watching TV news, things would be in a much better place. Thanks for the inspiration!
Such a nice video,this video brought back fond memories growing up on the farm, so often mom and her friends would do canning,we grew are own garden,so I know the feeling from garden to canning to eating what u reap from your hard work. Yes back then people worked a job 8 hours and came home to more work,but I agree with Eric and Arielle that it's nice and so rewarding to know where your food came from. Liked the mustard recipe,that's something I've never attempted,but now I think I will. U too have come so far since I started watching u,now I try and look for all to watch take care u too.
Love your videos!! I have some potatoes that I’ve been contemplating canning, looks like Monday will be potato canning day!!!
The food never fails to make my mouth water!
PrefosteredSundays, Off topic, but love the kitty in your pic!
They definitely make some yummy things. I'd never even considered making my own mustard. Pretty cool!
@@cmi7439 @C Mi Thank you! His name is Snow and he is absolutely adorable. It's so cool how they make so many things from scratch. Until now I didn't even know what made up mustard.
@@PurtyPurple Very adorable! I had a white kitty that I called Snowy years ago. He was a love bug.
Y’all are my favorite people. Wish I was on your level of canning and simple living. Love watching gives me hope to get there someday.
YES. Save those things for planting. If they've made it this long, they'll last till Spring for planting. Promise. We've done almost the exact same ourselves. Just because they sprout doesn't mean they're bad. Love you guys!!
There is always one early hater thumbs downing your videos which I don't understand! If you don't like them then move the heck on.. no one needs that negativity! Love you guys and your success is so well deserved. Love each and every video you guys release. Thank you!
*Throws rocks at the haters
By now, I bet they don’t take that too personally. It’s too bad there isn’t a “meh” button as well. Maybe a hand waggling back and forth?
Man those moose burgers looked amazing!
My aunt always keeps her potatoes in a big box full of sand and she had them really good for all the winter.
One of the best channels.I can`t wait for new episodes.Even today in my country similar products are prepared for the winter.All this reminds me of the days from my youth, when we lived with less stress and ate healthy food.Greetings from Canada.
Was one of the first subscribers of your channel. Seen all the videos. Keep it up.
If Freight were free from Alaska to Florida, I would ask you to sacrifice those potatoes and ship me them now because it's planting season here in Florida and they would do very very well😉🌞🌴🇺🇸🐾 @Simple Living Alaska
I know
I love a good burger!! And always lots of onions on it! Yum
Really likable couple doing interesting things living vicariously through them
