The transition from late summer into fall is fantastic in Alaska. Salmon spawning, wildlife feasting, hillsides prolific with wild berries and our first summer honey harvest from the bees gives us great reason to be grateful to live in such an incredible place.
We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀

Back when I watched TV, there were 10 episodes of a favourite series, each lasting half an hour. Then that series would be gone for 8 months to make another 10 episodes. You guys make a show, longer than half an hour, with better editing and more interesting content every five days.... without fail. You are incredible! Thank you so much.

Music was hauntingly beautiful, superb choice! Nature in Alaska seems godlike to me, in a really primeval way, it reminds me of something that we all hold in the deeper consciousness of our species, of a simpler, more dangerous time. It's the cycle itself, life and death, spring and winter, rot and birth. It makes me feel connected.

I have just finished video number 584. Watching on my lunch break it has taken a little over a year. I am not going to lie, at times I have said to myself watching Eric “Don’t do that!!” and then Eric will say “well that didn’t work”. Your adventures are a joy to watch. Eric, thanks for sharing your new tools (new to me). Some I have purchased for my tool collection. Arielle, your horticultural expertise is remarkable. Please be careful and take care of each other. About five years ago I was taking down a tree with my chainsaw. Made a perfect notch and felling cut, calculated the exact place it would fall. Then as I was walking away to take a break a gust of wind came up and the tree hit me in the back. My first ride in an ambulance to the trauma center. Seven staples in my head and many cuts and scratches. Stay safe my friends.

@astrat824 2 года назад

From a fellow beekeeper in Washington State… Great job! Keep at it and you will be rewarded more and more each year! Your bees look healthy and happy. One reason to primarily harvest only capped honey is that bees are pros at regulating moisture content. Too much moisture and you run the risk of spoilage. Too little and the honey crystallizes. Harvesting in-capped you are dealing with an unknown variable which is fine if you plan to use your harvest sooner, but if you are hoping for shelf life, only harvesting capped honey is the way to go. I love that you only used a large mesh strainer. Many keepers want that clear, golden look in their honey, but there is so much benefit to leaving medium to large pollen clusters, especially if you or someone you know suffers from allergies. All in all, you are doing great! I love watching all of your videos, especially those pertaining to fishing! One day I hope to make my way up with my wife and children for some salmon fishing. Thank you for putting these videos out for us to enjoy!!

Great blueberry harvest! Here in NE MN, we usually pick about 10 gallons a year, but not this year, due to our extreme drought. If you haven’t heard yet, a good way to remove leaves from your blueberry pail is to wet a towel and place flat on a piece of plywood that is slanted. Scoop the blueberries onto the wet towel and the berries will roll down while the leaves stick to the towel.

@gtfangel 2 года назад

@Myth Tree No laws here, but when a season is good, there are dozens of acres of berries and what we pick is a drop in the bucket in the whole picture of things. This year, we had a drought and very few berries, so most people, including ourselves didn't pick anything, to allow the wildlife to have something to eat. We are aware of wildlife needs.

The very last time she picked them were for the Kennedy clan ( JFK’s family) because every year someone from the Kennedy compound would come to that particular berry farm to buy them. It’s a lot of work for sure!

Congrats on the honey! So exciting! I had a top bar hive for one year. The bees absconded in October, of all times. So I cleaned out the hive and ended up with over half gallon of honey for the first year(and some great wax). I could never figure out why the bees left...no mites,no dead bees, just a dozen dead ones left out of many thousands. My neighbors said it was quite a sight when they left.

I made blueberry jam for the first time this year, I used Pomona's pectin so I didn't have to add as much sugar, and berries from our highbush blueberry plants, it is my new favorite jam and I'm sure I'll be making it every year from here on out.

God your images are beautiful, it's art. The music reminds me of a tv show of my childhood called "Les Filles de Caleb" (french canadian series based on Québécois way of life at the end of the 19th century). Actually, your lifestyle is almost the same with few more technologies. Your chanel is my favorite. You put so much effort into it and it shows. The final product is amazing.

My dad is a bee keeper too and has one of those spinner things. He gets 200lbs of honey a year bc he has a lot of hives. Nothing like fresh honey for allergies and of course the taste! He also builds everything - bee boxes, paints outside according to year made or added etc. he is a retired engineer so he likes to be busy

One of your best videos! The scenery was totally 💯 awesome! Good to see your harvests, quite a bit of honey 🍯 and wild blueberries 🫐 . I’ve never seen that many berries go into a pie before, but that looked so so good!

🏞🏕 Wow what many a berry blessings and free sunshine to get your vitamin D for the winter. What a gorgeous place, and such a beautiful day, with pure air and nobody else around. ❤ A wood burning stove, absolutely wonderful. Good food. Blue berry pies and muffins, and even pancakes in the dark season.
