BUILDING A 16 x 12 TENT DECK IN ALASKA FOR OUR CANVAS TENT 

Thank you for watching and the kind words.

Thank you so much for the comment and suggestions. We are looking to add more content as you described the eventually start posting twice a week. We love suggestions and comments good or bad

Thank you for watching. We appreciate the comment. We are big fans of Our Alaska also.

Love our AK style footwear

We are a little overwhelmed at how fast it's growing. We are so thankful for all the support.

Fun. Thank you for watching. We'll check out/subscribe and follow your channel. We just got home from building our bed frame inside our tent. Time to edit tomorrow's video.

@@JayAndEleinne Thank you! A bed frame - sounds great! Happy editing. 🙂

Next time we are lifting walls on a birdhouse, the level will come in handy.

Thank you

Thank you Dusty. Gotta take a break and get caught up on Carrotology ;)

@@JayAndEleinne Take no breaks for POC's, they will be there when you're done with your project! You have a deadline approaching! But thank you, I'm honored!

We were very lucky to catch it early, that mistake only cost us about 15 minutes of work.

Was a lot of fun to build.

Can't wait to get the tent up and enjoy the view.

Great advice. We have spent a lot of time backpacking in black and grizzly country. 10mm with proper ammo and bear spray are always with us but we keep them off camera. We also just ordered some 147 grain hard cast flat nose for our 9mm (some local bear guides use it so we thought we'd try it since we already have a 9mm). I'm a good shooter, Eleinne is excellent. We are looking at 12 gauges and ready to get one. Air horn also a great idea, we've read about how affective they are. Thank you

@@JayAndEleinne Im glad you are experienced with your 10mm and 9mm. Good to have them in shoulder holster on your person. The 12 gauge has a ton of knock down and killing power. Get your 12 gauge chambered in 3".That will be a real kick ass gun! I wouldnt worry about what viewers think about your self defence tools. Thats just how it is in Alaska!!

@@dcranch4820 yeah i was more concerned about RU-vid regulations honestly. I'm learning about shot guns. Should i be getting a cylinder choke for slugs?

@@JayAndEleinne Shotguns may come with two barrels. A slug barrel and a longer barrel that has screw in chokes for bird hunting. If its just going to be for self defence the shorter slug barrel would be best. You can also just buy one that has rifling. These are super accurate when paired with the right slugs. Ive had a 870 Remington chambered in 3" for 30 plus years. They are great guns but Mossberg also makes a great shotgun. I watch hunting videos on RU-vid that actually show the kill shots. Also there are several other Alaska off grid living that show men and women carrying side arms during there daily activities. I would think you would be fine as your use is for self defence! Have fun shopping!!!

We did think about that. But the paint was much more expensive. And since this is a temporary platform coming down later this year we decided to go cheap.

@@JayAndEleinne makes sense.

Also allows you to reuse it for other projects

I'll look into that. Thank you

Thank you! We love it when other channels comment. It gives us the opportunity to find other channels to follow, we've now subscribed and look forward to watching your progress over the years.

@@JayAndEleinne aww thank you. We appreciate that! Not sure if you guys have heard, but there will be a RU-vid meetup in July in Wasilla. Bill at “My Alaska” and Chrystal at “Flat Tire Farm” are putting that together. 🙂

@@thesimplealaskans We did get an invite. We'd love to come but we will be so busy trying to get our cabin done. So for now it's a maybe.

@@JayAndEleinne Completely understand!

Everything is tied together to the post hardware. From there the hardware just rests inside the blocks. They sit in about 6 inches and then can be adjusted up or down by adjusting the nut. I've seen a lot of cabins up here built this way, and we will be using a similar but stronger method on our first cabin also.

No, the pond will be off to the side, but there are large windows on the side of the tent facing that way. The way the land slopes and where we want to access the tent with the least amount of steps kind of dictated the way we are doing it. Hopefully that will make more sense next week when we show the tent up.

I'm no expert on drones. But I use a DJI, currently the mini 4 pro, and love it. Based on the regulations that the government is putting on Chinese-made drones though I'd highly suggest looking at something non-Chinese-made. The only problem is you pay A LOT more for less quality, based on my research. Also, make sure you're a part 107 FAA pilot if you plan to use drone work for anything other than recreational. Posting on RU-vid is only recreational if you don't monetize the channel. Drone U on RU-vid is a great channel for detailed advice.

Sorry, we don't. I guess you could watch with the Closed Captions on. We have had that mentioned a few times with comments liking and disliking it. We are new to editing in this format so we are learning as we go and take every comment seriously. In the future, we will be looking to improve or change the audio format and volumes. Thank you so much for your feedback, it means a lot to us and is what keeps us bettering our channel.

Thank you for the input, we will reassess the music volume or having music at all in the future. We are still learning and trying to find the perfect style of video that works for us and we value the feedback from anyone watching.
