  • Alaska's winter landscape sets the mood for this week around the cabin. We work on starting our new diesel generator, talk about what we feed our chickens in the winter months and sprout fresh alfalfa sprouts to try with Simit, also known as Turkish bagels.
    We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀
    Thank you for watching and supporting our channel! 💙

    Let me like it first…. now I’m going to watch it.

    The way you guys care for your animals isn't just impressive it's really heartwarming.

  • @bigslim492
    @bigslim492 Před rokem +129

    Just a suggestion about the exhaust on your new generator: put a new pipe on it. That exhaust pipe is almost squeezed shut. If you replace it the generator will run a lot more freely and it will also prevent future problems.
    Also in regards to what another viewer wrote I too am really thankful for how well you guys treat your animals including your bees and the concern that you show for them and their well-being. That is something that shows me what kind of tremendous character you guys have.
    One final thing: I don’t know which one of you is doing the drone footage but it really adds to your videos. You are doing a great job with that.

    If you have any questions on your gen for testing/operation feel free to shoot me a pm. I've worked on diesel gens for offgrid homes and remote villages for 10 years and I'm located in Wasilla. There's a few tricks and tips to avoid premature failures and speed up troubleshooting if there's an issue.

    My husband and I want to compliment you on the way you care for your animals. We have watched a lot of shows and CZcams channels on off grid/homesteading. 100% your way of caring for the chickens is so important and shows how happy they are with egg production and their general welfare. Thank you for that and the advice of the things you feed and the little extras you do. Absolutely amazing, have a great day.

    On the theme of “quality of life” your videos bring that concept to many who cannot experience Alaska first hand and get to experience the last frontier through your channel. The nature scenes are phenomenal and your homestead skills are excellent. Thank you for making these videos.

    Eric, you now have a Kubota powered generator, looks like a Model D1105. It is a very durable engine; with good care it will last a long time. I've been a Kubota industrial engine dealer for many years...like fifty years. So wish I could help you with the maintenance and installation. Unfortunately I'm from Ohio...a long way off. Generator looks like it could be a Stanford Newage make. I have D1105 Kubota engines with over 20,000 hrs.' out in the field with very little repairs done other than regular maintenance. I watch your videos religiously and appreciate them very much!

    I think there is nothing more magical than snow sparkling in the sunlight. I grew up in Colorado. We went skiing multiple times every winter. Many of my most beautiful memories are of white sparkling snow, fluffy white loaded evergreen trees and pink and purple sunset skies. you have managed to capture my memories in your videos. So beautiful! Thank you!

    I don't know if this will help but we used to save any left over grease and cracklings and melt it with peanut butter and then mix in corn meal until it forms a nice consistency. You can add sunflower seeds, flax seed or sesame seeds to it as well or oatmeal. We called it Bird Pudding. But it's really just homemade suet. Hope that helps!
