I was going to say Eric you are one lucky guy to have Arial by your side in regards to the things she can do but then i realised your both lucky to have each other and to have found a partner that shares the same dream. I really enjoyed this video thanks for letting us tag along.
I'm flabbergasted at just how far you have developed your property in just a year. Good old hard work never killed anyone. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Sharing: I Liked that you cooked in the garden, My Mother kept a salt shaker hidden just for vine ripened tomatoes once in awhile I would catch her eating one and she would just smile and not say a word .. Thank You for sharing these recipes 😍
😂 I was loving that too lol! Focaccia bread will now be forgotcha bread. I just have to make sure I don't actually call it that when talking to a customer.
As a child growing up, we canned everything my Dad could get his hands on in the Summer. These times with you brings back some very SPECIAL TIMES. Thank You for you knowledge.
I can't tell you how much I love you your videos. I live New Orleans and the idea that a young family like yours are the living their best lives by the work of your hands, gives me hope for our future. May your children's children rise up and call you Blessed!
One of your videos popped up on my recommendations the other day. I liked it so I watched a bunch more. I'm now hooked on your foraging, harvesting and cooking videos. Your videos are addictive lol.
You're not the only one. Same plan as mine. Lived up there for a few months running the Dalton...like a postcard everywhere ya look. 5 years or less is the plan.
Going back and watching these summer videos in the dead of winter is what I’m living for right now. Looking forward to the sun coming back. Hello from Fairbanks!
Hello to the two of you, In these years, I believe your families understand your choices. I would hope they did before Covid19. I have been living a permaculture lifestyle in northern Quebec for 18 yrs. I follow your posts and am so delighted to watch your progress. Winters are long but gardening is life. When we began this lifestyle no one understood us. Documenting your journey pleases me, we have VSH tapes, we are in our 50ies now!!
You guys should learn how dehydrate thoses morrels. They come back fantastic in milk, very ideal for how I've seen you guys cooking with them. Keep up the good work. loved your orchard videos.
make your own balsamic glaze. 1 cup port wine (the cheap stuff), 2/3 cup balsamic vinegar, 1 cup sugar.. heat over medium heat to reduce to desired thickness. Some folks add herbs and such, there are a bunch of recipes out there, but the plain reduction is great drizzled over some aged parm cheese
You should have a cook book! I forage a lot of my own foods and such. I live in WA State and am constantly teaching myself new things about what Mother Nature has to provide for us. You guys are amazing and such an inspiration. Maybe a list of books you read or some recipes? I would love to know both if you're willing to share
Awesome menu! It is amazing to see how light it is for us living in the lower 48. Thanks so much for sharing your daily lives with us. It gives me hope we can get "back to the land" and have a nice, simple and fulfilling life.

A very healthy way of living. Things must be going extra good Eric because you've been so relaxed the last two videos. Never noticed how tense you were till I saw these recent videos.
I have finally finished binge watching all your Alaska video and now I'm up to date. Great content and editing. Your channel should hit a million subs soon.
Agreed! I live on a property right on a large river 16 years now and counting and before I added several bat houses on trees right at the river I could never sit down by the river and relax without tons of spray on, citronella candles etc. --
I agree. I had several at my former property out in the woods and I was rarely bothered by mosquitoes as the bats were feeding away. The small investment = priceless outdoor comfort.
"Scientists have discovered that some small bats can catch up to 1,000 or more small insects in a single hour. A nursing mother bat eats the most - sometimes catching more than 4,000 insects in a night." You have a great set up for a few bat houses 100 or so metres out in the bog around your property...
Your story gives inspiration to those who are planning to live in rural. We would love to share this with our customers who bought vacant land from us and planning to live away from the city. They will surely get awesome ideas from your videos.
Morels are so good. People here in North Idaho covet their spot munch like their Huckleberry patches. Having fun going to the beginning and catching up to present. You have both come so far. I'm loving seeing places I've been. Thanks and God bless.
Simple Living Alaska with CHEF Eric . Eric that was a Classy Gourmet Moose dish . I'm trying that recipe . Arielle, what is your recipe for those dang Aphids ? I would like to try it out or is this the 1st time for your high tunnel ? I'm amazed at how quickly you can start harvest ! What a treat Mother Nature can be !!! BTW .... I'm loving those intros with breath taking video of Alaska & the music is perfect !! Don't change a thing there 🎶🎶 I can't thank you BOTH enough for all the hard work that goes into creating a channel that is PURE and DOWN TO EARTH . ❤👍
I need to move to Alaska. I spend a couple days in Anchorage as a layover on my way back from Okinawa and I loved it. While there some friends and I climbed flat top and left our stack of rocks. My wife made 14 pints of strawberry jam over the weekend never tried rose petal jelly. I use wood chips that they sell for pet bedding in my smoker.
Hi guys, finally I found in this video how to cook bagel (sour dough) in water and then bake in the oven, what I asked you. Maybe the recipe is a simple sour doug... I will try it, thank you very much. Anyway, we, my husband and me, continue watch your episodes every evenings and really enjoy what you do all together in the garden and in the wild life too. Keep going!
Well that made me hungry 😋. Everything looks like it's growing great, just love the garden updates. 19 hours of daylight wow that's a lot. I just love that second piece of property it looks beautiful. You guys be careful and stay safe, thanks for the video, Jimmy
Rose hip syrup is well worth making too for that fabulous delicate Turkish Delight flavour. It makes a fantastically refreshing drink diluted with water and is a great source of winter vitamin C.
I just want to tell you both that your videos bring such a calmness for me. Right now I need that more than ever. Thank you guys for sharing a little of your life experiences with us! I really wish you both happiness!
What a meal- you both sure know how to grow/ cook & eat. You certainly do live in Paradise as below comments have said- but you work really hard s well keeping up all your stocks. Great Channel. Cheers Denise - Australia
