The arrival of winter brings the annual list of tasks for us to prepare for the changing of seasons. From new winter tires to firewood to emergency car kits and ice melt, there are a number of things on our list this year. We know that living in Alaska can be a unique experience, so we thought we would show you what we're doing this year to prepare for winter here in Anchorage.

I have a unicorn light in my office and it definitely makes me happier!!

After living through Hurricane Ian here in Fort Myers (no power/TV/internet/basically nothing for four+ days -- like living in a warzone), I 1000% agree that being OVERLY prepared is the best option. Even our little weather radio helped us keep up with local updates. Things can go from "normal" to nothing in a second. I spent a lot of my stimulus money on upgrading emergency supplies (power banks, rechargeable batteries and LED lanterns/flashlights) and don't regret spending one cent!

Sherri I ❤ your jumper!

Meanwhile in NZ I am prepping for summer. Off to Fiji for second time in four months! Enjoy the snow.

Here in Michigan when we do our winter prepares for our vehicles we put blankets or a sleeping bags and water and some kind of food that does not spoiled and extra socks and clothes case we do run out of gas and ice scrapers

@kathystoner4901 Год назад

Good job, getting an early start to prep for winter. We all seem to wait too long. Then wham!!

@Edera7795 Год назад

Dura flames are good as fired started. For those that have to worry about termites, DO not place the log holder up against your home. Maybe some salt in both of your vehicles

@dancieteague6854 Год назад

Great video. I do opposite. Here in Texas it gets triple digets heat. So have water snacks. Rechargeable fan. Carry extra charging bank. I broke down a couple days ago. Fan was used and snacks ate. So got to say you never know when you need help. I even carry small games and toys in case I break down or get stuck in road construction with my 6 year old grandson. Got to keep him happy. So in Texas I always keep things year round. Taught my kids same thing. We learned alot from each other. Be safe this winter.

@pigeonnesttunes Год назад

Yes! I live in Palm Springs, CA. I do the same with summer.

@andierob Год назад

I’m with Sherri..never ready for winter. This is why we live in Las Vegas lol. Enjoyed the video.. great ideas for winter prep.

@lcflngn Год назад

Thx for the reminder to keep tanks fullish! Actually just trying to prep for earthquake safety down here in NorCal, something never in our face urgently enough for a good reminder, but it is serious all year. Gas is one of those things for sure. Good luck this winter! ☃️🎄

@sabrinad.thomas3397 Год назад

Love this video on winter prep. I live in Chicago and I'm lucky that I can take the Metra into work and like you I never let my gas tank get below half a tank and I always get my car tuned up in October for the winter along with getting the oil changed. The only time I drive my car if I need to is on the weekends if I need to run errands. I also stock up on food so if we ever get hit with a blizzard and I can't get my car out of the garage then I have food stocked up at home and that includes plenty of canned food as well. I also keep a stash of nonperishable food at work in my office along with a small stash of cash just in case.

@SilvaFamilyTravels Год назад

This video was thoroughly fascinating to me. I learned so much!

@wmeadjr Год назад

It's fun watching you guys prep for winter. I don't have snow where I live, so it's interesting to know how you prep for winter season in Alaska. Stay safe and warm!!!

@rhondalockrey9592 Год назад

Great tips I need to get some door drafts for sure!

@AngiBelle1 Год назад

Wow, I've never lived anywhere that got that cold! Here in the Bay Area, it barely gets beyond sweatshirt weather. I spent my teenage years in TN where we sometimes got snow, but it was still rare enough that it was a novelty. It was so funny when it snowed one Saturday when I was in college. Usually weekends were pretty dead on campus, but that day, everyone was out playing in the snow like a bunch of kids! When I went to get lunch at the cafeteria, I noticed they had taken all the trays away....turns out, people had been stealing them to use for sledding! 🤣

@nitabackes9670 Год назад

Send me a picture of your snowman. I have an awesome handmade snow(wo)man kit looking for a new home. It no longer gets the attention it deserves here in my high desert retirement location, and could possibly be yours😊. Snowmen - that was part of my winter preparation when living in Alaska. That half hour spent during the first moist snowfall building a snowman (or longer if creating a whole snowman family😊), is then enjoyed all winter long. Being greeted by a smiling snowman every time I come home brings a smile to my face. This early winter activity will of course come after all the winter safety preparations you mentioned, but (for me at least) a necessary one for helping to get through the long cold winters. ❤❤

But where’s your kitty litter? After living in Wisconsin for many years I’ve learned to always have a super large size box of the cheapest kitty litter available in your trunk. The weight of the box adds to traction and if you get stuck you can put it around each tire to give the tire something to grip. Kitty litter also is made to be absorbent so it also helps if you get mired in mud!

@karenjordan5731 Год назад

I love watching you guys!

@Kathleensailorgirl Год назад

I would add emergency blanket , otherwise great list. Stay safe 🥰☃️☃️❄️❄️

@LeggLife Год назад

Yep! That is something we keep in each vehicle as well

@livingweirdestherc6644 Год назад

We do winter prep here as well. We live up on a hill and it gets dicey getting out.

@gandsmeyer2957 Год назад

Watching this vlog is interesting. Since we live in sunny California, we don't have a need for many of these things.

@Video-ox8uf Год назад

these are good winter prepping steps for the winter in general ☺️ thx guys.

@LovinLifesJourney Год назад

Thanks for the motivation to prep for winter. We have been cutting firewood like crazy but we have other things that we have to get done soon too. I'm definitely getting one of those things to stop the draft under the door!

@theanxiousmomma Год назад

I guess I should prep for winter too 🙄 lol I’m not ready!

@pamelap8462 Год назад

I needed this! Great tips and well- just fun!

@LeggLife Год назад

Thank you so much for watching!

@jacquielousbookqueue Год назад

we always kept a bag of kitty litter in the back of the vehicles in MI so if we got stuck, you could pour it down for traction - it always worked great when we lived back in the woods. (My mom got stuck every year, 😀). I have the cloth door draft guard and have to wash it often so am very curious how you like the slide on version. i didn't know that existed!

@MsLittlemommy Год назад

keep a shovel and a blanket in the car and jeep

@lisaanderson8235 Год назад

Oh heck yeah, SAD is a thing. It's sooooo cloudy here in SE Michigan from November to March. ☁️☁️☁️

@pilotpete6478 Год назад

I had to get something similar for my sliding glass doors. No more draftypoo’s! Have a great weekend, much love from Fort Lauderdale 🔅🌴

@bbwphotographer76 Год назад

Buurrrrrr (covering up with fuzzy blanket) snow!!! Hahaa it was 55F this morning at 6am in Phoenix! Some people already have puffy coat on 😂😂

@rosemichel7559 Год назад

I cannot relate, I live in Las Vegas and seriously i do not even have a coat. Hoodies, hats and gloves is the extent of my winter wardrobe, growing up in the northeast, i did have to deal with snow and scraping windshield, thank God I do not have to do that anymore.

@caitandrews533 Год назад

I liked this video too =) make a note to check for expired items in the emerg kit yearly - those hot hands will expire for example

@vickielopresti5767 Год назад

"It's beginning to look alot like Christmas!" Preparations for Winter, is mandatory! Even here in Pa! Time to at least put out a Christmas Reindeer or gets lights up while you still can, outside. Vickie from SE Pa

@WinningThePoohbear Год назад

Great video!! Here in Indy, we prep similar. Just about every year, I buy those car emergency kits, or something related and give them as Christmas gifts :) Also, I always refer to Sad lights as Happy lights lol and yo may have mentioned this, but a small bag, that has to be brought in and out ( I know its a hassle) filled with some bottles of water and snacks in case you get stranded for a little while,

@rchiariello Год назад

Yes, definitely need snacks... for emergencies only. 😉

@Traveling_with_christina. Год назад

i think with the tiara she's trying to say she wants to go on the wish

@bbwphotographer76 Год назад

Questions… do you need a tarp to cover up the wood outside or is it covered with the carport? Do you keep a plastic shoe/boot tray inside by door for snow/mud shoes? Do you have to plug in your car in Anchorage? Think for the battery life.

@expressedforlife3018 Год назад

Have you checked out the LED road flares?

@ViolettVlogs Год назад

Sherri is just trying to be Elsa… why you gotta ruin her fun Adam?! 🤣

@LeggLife Год назад

Ha! She needs to choose, either she loves winter and wants to be Elsa with a tiara, or hates she hates winter. My guess is that she would fall more on the hates winter side.
