Ariel's face as she is about to take a bite at 18:22 and her smile afterwards is so precious! Way to go Eric!
Yes, it made me LOL. That's when no words are needed for a food review. :D
Yeah, but she said "an hour and a half later...", which I think meant the meal took 1.5 hours to make, and 15 minutes max to eat. Maybe she was hungry.
Ariel's facial expression after the first bite is saying everything, btw. it makes me hungry too. Awesome as always, greetings to both of you.
Your new house was nice and had been better built but I disliked a house sitting in middle of a cleared forest! Unattractive with trees and nature around it. Does that area have all the berries that you all like to pick? Can your chickens live that far north?
Haha I was thinking the exact same thing.
@@charlottemoore9811 Alaska has tons of wildfires so it could be a precaution to prevent their home from going up in flames. It might also be required by their local jurisdiction.
What internet provider do you have that you can get internet way out in Alaska thanks
Haha that first bite!
I wish more young people would watch you. I know every couple has there trials and tribulation. It's inevitable. Growing in each other and separately.
Your an awesome team. Blessings be to both of you and your sweet fur babies.
I’m 23 and have been watching their channel religiously since their first post 🥰
I’m 18 and I recently showed this channel to my bf lol. Love watching videos together or on a discord call and this channel is perfect for that.
I’m 23, been here since the root cellar build!
So jealous, I can't do this anymore too old. Remembering the days that I did, and enjoying the fact that you youngins are pioneering and thriving in your neck of the woods gives me great joy. God bless you guys!
Another beautiful video! You can tell Bandit really LOVES to go grouse hunting, he's so cute!
Also thanks for making me hungry!! 😂😂
I love your content and the both of you! Always one of the highlights of my week thank you so much for bringing this community together!
my sentiments exactly!
Me too! This channel is ONE of my Favorites!!
@@AndreaLovell2024 This channel has been my all time favourite since before they moved to Alaska. I love to watch their adventures but above all the loving relationship between them and the delicious food they create together. I'm 65 and in total awe of them, they are special people indeed. Michelle
The first pancake, waffle, crepe, etc. is always a "sacrifice to the small gods of the hearth". Always. :)
Honestly, your videos are a high point in my week! I love watching you living my dream that isn't possible for me right now. It's so nice to see a couple that works together and cheers each other on the way you do. (I have to admit that I love it when Arielle catches the most fish!) Thanks for all you do to share your adventures with us!
wow those waffle sandwiches look delicious!!! You guys don't cease to amaze me. Thanks again for sharing.
Did y'all know TODAY is national chicken and waffle day? Appreciate you sharing your experiences with all of us.
I feel like we are a bunch of kids waiting for mom and dad to get home to share with us everything about their journey and we sit here waiting everyday and we all are like stop everything their back lol as always we love you videos and we are honored to be apart of your life. God bless you both
I couldn't have said it better!!
You two will never go hungry with your special skills. Very impressed.
I'm always so excited for your videos my favourite time 🥰 but I'm always sad when they are short 😅🙈 I love when you do really really long Vlogs 😅🤌🏻
Out of the hundreds of CZcams channels I am subscribed to you guys are the only one that ALWAYS makes me green with envy! Never boring either!!
OMG that looks so good.
Would love to see a video on how you guys started out on this journey or someday a video with your parents on how they feel about your journey they have to be so proud. Or maybe you did and I missed it. 👍
Hi, if you go to the playlist tab on the main page there are over 350 videos including life before Alaska and setting off on the journey to Alaska, all super interesting 👍
@@steveackerley8545 thanks will watch
And don't miss the video where they ice fish in a tent and talk about the entire journey including the farm...these guys are having a wonderful life and they've earned every inch of it!
I don’t know how many people get it but foraging wild food & then making it into actual comfort food is THE most luxurious way to eat 😁 love it!
I need to go to bed for work in five hours but sleep can wait, thank you Eric and Ariel!
Have a great day at work 😁
I love that you told Bandit that he got the grouse. So sweet. How old is he? He’s running around like a puppy!
13 ;)
@@SimpleLivingAlaska wow he's doing great for a 13 year old dog. Hoping my raw fed dog lives a long time. I'm curious what breeds both your dogs are?
Have recently come across your channel as of about 2 weeks ago and to say I love the content is an understatement! Love watching both of your adventures and your life in Alaska!
Welcome. These two people are amazingly funny and creative and just fun to watch. Who would of thought .. Spruce Grouse and waffles with gravy....
Hi I discovered them about 4 weeks ago and have been binge watching, caught update. Love watching them
Pizz_22
You'll have to start from the beginning! You'll be amazed at all they have done and the things they cook!
@@hellejensen8289 I've been watching them a year they are brilliant
@@lisagrafton2529 have started on the beginning and have been binge watching for a few weeks :D went back as far as their move to Alaska and love every video :)
Bandit is such a good hunting companion! He’s in his element, on duty, clocked into work 😂💪🏽
You really had to go the extra mile in the mud and brush to get us the great footage of your hunt, thanks! Wishing you great luck with your moose hunt this year! I always enjoy watching your videos of butchering and preserving your moose.
You are a great team and Eric your culinary efforts always puts a smile on Ariel's face , She gets a big smile from you with her baking efforts and rhe relishes , sauces and her desserts are pretty darned yummy as well . Keep each other safe , prosper and enjoy your adventures together .
I love how nothing goes to waste, minimal effort in creating something so delicious when you've quite literally just taken what you need and make a great meal out of it. Wishing you both many more meals and adventures in the wild.
Ariel’s grin at that first bite of sandwich!!!
I'm a newer viewer but I've been inhaling all the videos I possibly can. Thank you for sharing your adventures! This channel pulled me out of a depression spiral by reminding me to savor the small things. Happy and safe adventures 💕
Looked like a moment when you both were thinking - we are so enjoying our life right now! Lucky you two - and lucky us as you share.
Thanks for taking us on another adventure! Love your videos! ❤
Another Michelin Star meal from you guys. I always look forward to your videos. Have a good one guys..
Agreed
Your videos are so relaxing to me ♥️ you guys rock, best of luck with the new property
That looks incredible! Cooking outside, in cast iron, something you’ve dispatched for dinner makes it all taste better. Ariel’s facial expressions usually tells you everything you need to know about the deliciousness of the meal. Love you two.
The waffles look amazing! Kudos to you for managing the iron and the fire to make those come out so beautifully.
You two know how to cook and EAT!
Now that's a way to celebrate the best time of year - Fall!! An outstanding sandwich!! All the best you guys, stay safe, be happy!!❤
The muddiness of that trail is AWESOME!
I truly love these swampcountrey snowbillies. Keep up the great experiences my SLA’s
I knew Bandit had bird dog in his pedigree! You all did a great job hunting
And how fun and delicious you made chicken and waffles 🤗
Take care xo
Aww Pepper's silver eyes are not happy😂 Bandit did a great job and those are beautiful meat!
I wonder how the moose hunting went!
Well the kitty needs a treat!
"This is gravy train right here!" lol Those wafflewiches look amazing!
Fantastic video as always you made a great dinner, you always keep all of your knives so sharp. You couldn’t of got a fresher meal anywhere else. Love 💕 y’all!
Awesome adventures ❤❤
You two rock. I'm 65 and I love watching the two of you. You are doing all the things I wish I did. Bless you both.
Use coconut oil with your butter to coat the waffle iron and then it won’t burn because coconut oil has a higher smoke temp then butter. Looked darn delicious to me though! 🥰❤️🇨🇦
May you guys live forever! I don’t know what I’d do without your video every week!
You both cook such amazing meals. Well done.
I didn’t know Bandit was such a hunter? He’s so adorable when he finds the bird. Proud boy! Now the grouse and waffle with that mushroom gravy rocked my world!! I KNOW that was awesome! ♥️🙏🏼♥️
It's amazing to see the variety of food you guys harvest from nature over and above what you grow yourself.
Another amazing and relaxing video. Love you guys. Man I wish I had half of Bandit's energy.
What a great day to go Grouse hunting! Those Waffle Sandwiches looked so delicious. They made me so hungry! Makes me wish I was back in Alaska!! Another great video!!
This is the only place where I automatically click on every new video you guys are the coolest way to rock the adventure life in Alaska. I went to Alaska once when I was 13 and I still remember it to this day and you are really showcasing how gorgeous it is up there be well and be blessed
I want some !! I could just imagine the smells from the fire, the meat cooking and when the onions and mushrooms went into the pan, well I was there in heaven!
Great work and many thanks for sharing 👏👏👌👌
I swear I gain 5 pounds or more everytime I watch y'all cook. LOL👍
Great video, guys! Love how you take an idea like chicken and waffles and make it uniquely your own.
That Looked sooooooo good. Ariel's expression said it all.
I just love watching the both of you……what a fantastic couple!
Another great video to celebrate the hunt and fall. Wow grouse and waffles look delish. Ariel's first bite look after is priceless haha.
Wow, the weather and the trails change real quick, huh? Stay warm and dry!
"The whole... thing...is outstanding." plus the look. Totally made me giggle!
Eric & Arielle, Thank You for another cool and Yummy video! Those sandwiches looked absolutely scrumptious! For a minute there I thought you were going to get stuck in the mud.... but NOPE! 🙂 Until your next video ~~~ Stay safe, healthy and happy! 🍁 🧇🧇❄
Bandit is an elite athlete. So fun to see him in action!
Love this, hunting, preparing and cooking your means all the White sharing your recipe. OUTSTANDING

"Unfortunately, I hit this one and it wasn't dead all the way........ so I pulled its head off" LOL that got dark quick.
Good job on the grouse hunt, boys!
You take clean, healthy food from nature and all with respect to nature.

This is a gourmet meal you guys, looks fantastic.

I just love Bandit's hunting prowess. That mud is tough tho.
This is so dope! You recreated a popular meal with non traditional meat and mushrooms you collected. I Never thought about adding gravy to chicken and waffles but now I’m curious 😯. Great video as always
Your making me hungry again. Just love to watch you cook. Take care guys ❤️
Hunting/foraging/farming/preserving/outing/site seeing/photography/making videos/skills developing/self employing ....ect, never seen someone who use the nature n it's treasures this fully like you guys do....its awesome.❤👌👍😋

I don't know about anyone else, but my mouth is watering like crazy right now! That looks SO good. Great video guys, it looks like you had a blast.
Always thought Bandit looked like a bird dog. Poor Pepper just wanted so bird lol.
Thanks for sharing
Wow! Looks yummy!
Just so you know that looks better than any chicken and waffles I ever had I happened to love grouse 👍😁😉🐝
Oh yummy😋 Love watching you cook❤ I'd love the recipe for your waffles.
Keep on rocking' in the free world!
That just might be the best food Ive ever seen cooking that grouse. And that Chanterelle mushroom gravy looks to die for seriously. Man who wouldn't want a bite of that. Great hunting and good success. Nice !
Love the content, keep it coming!
Longtime watcher, fist time commentor. Started watching your videos from the beginning. Decided enough at the root cellar build pt1. And you had just uploaded 3 minutes ago, perfect timing. I love what you all do to take care of yourselves. Watching from St. Croix USVI 🙃🌴
Chicken & Waffle Sandwich....WOW!
My mouth was water!!!! Wow!!!
07:14 - Inner Monologue: "What are the tall food servants doing over there, why are they taking parts of birds that are rightfully mine?"
Come on, we all know that's how cats think... Wonderful vlog as ever, already working out how to do something similar with either Partridge or Wood Pigeon.
Love your vlogs guys. Keep them coming. I'm new to your channel. I've just watched your epic egg pickling session.....absolutely amazing. Love and blessings xjx
I found them from pickling eggs, too! Watched everyone of their videos. They are the best!!
@@addywalkup6494 I also watch Justin Rhodes, Sow the land, Hollar homestead and three rivers homestead. They have all taught me so much. Love and blessings to you Addy ❤ xjx
An awesome couple that works together as one and accomplish one another without a doubt. God bless ❤
Love it.. You made me hungry just watching you both enjoy what you caught cooked and ate. Thank you for another wonderful video..🐕🐕🐈⬛
