Shopping for our Resort in Remote Alaska 

It always amazes me how you shop and ship things to remote villages in Alaska. We just take for granted that I can drive 20 minutes to get to Costco were I live. It does look like an interesting life.😊

Wow did that bring back memories. Hubby and I took care of a hunting n fishing lodge in New Zealand. We had to buy for 3 month and that supply shopping trip was daunting, but the store in town was use to it. We had to fly in by helicopter. That bill was over 1200.00 but that was 18 years ago. Kisbee Lodge South Island New Zealand. Your young man reminded me of my hubby. Silly but hard working. Hes a keeper!

Wow! When we lived in Bethel AK, we would go into town/ Anchorage for the sole purpose of shopping, to stock up basics and ship everything back by freight. Initially, I was mortified as we filled cart after cart with toilet paper, shampoo, snacks etc. That embarrassment faded soon, when I realized that other people also from the Bush, would be there with their overflowing multiple carts. Hoarding never seemed more normal 😊

You have my Upmost Respect. That's a lot of work several times a month. Wishing You and Yours Every Success Possible.😊

I wish this was longer , I would have enjoyed watching you put it all away at the lodge.

Y’all are so cute together!!! ❤

I used to work at Cafe Michele in Talkeetna before she closed down and we would make runs to the Costco in Anchorage every so often. After a few years there I moved back to the lower 48 in 2011 and Ive miss Alaska every single day of my life since. Hopefully one day I can bring my kids back for a vacay. I would have lived there permanently but I was really missing my Dad! Love your little Channel by the way, it makes me so nostalgic! 😭

Where I live there are so many restaurant supply companies. It’s just really cool to see the effort and time you take to handpick each item yourself and get it to your business and how much personal input goes into it.

Hey beautiful I sure enjoy you and your husbands videos they put a shinning light on my day. Glad you are here to do them and tell us about your community and yourselves

Love it! Your fiancé is so cute!

I know this seems like a bit of a struggle, but living in your town near a lodge in Alaska seems like a dream at my age ❤

This was soo interesting. I love seeing grocery stores from other countries and how they compare (I live on the other side of the world, literally). Thank you for sharing :)

The amount of grocery shopping you do is just mind blowing😮😮

You seem so nice and what a journey you take to get shopping. As a city boy it’s amazing to watch

Tillamook is some of the best dairy products in the Pacific Northwest. I love the couple content. Keep it up. Get the Costco credit card. That way you get a percentage back of what you'd have bought anyway. Then you get a simple single payment each month.

This is one of the videos I've seen in awhile anyway love the videos Salina

Did you know you can buy the croissants by the case? They are frozen so you can bake them fresh as needed and it is cheaper to buy them that way. You may be able to buy other bakery items that way also. But sure but you could ask

I’m surprised y’all don’t invest in a Soda Stream. It’d be SOOO much cheaper than lugging all that heavy soda up on the plane. How long’s the flight to anchorage?

Absolutely love your content! I dream about going to an awesome remote place like yours in Alaska or Canada! I desperately want to experience the remoteness (?) and nature you guys call home. Can you recommend a site or something to plan a trip there? Really want to take my gf there. Much love from Germany ❤

Our new store should be opening up around October/November, at the Tikahtnu Commons.

I've been following you for awhile now...😂 coincidentally, I was in Port Alsworth for week 3 of OHOP week of June 10 I wish I had met you ♡ take care!!

Omg you have Goya products ❤

So cool. Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉

How do you keep the refrigerated stuff from going bad on the trip back home?

I love watching these huge Costco hauls

Love the music choices you make!

How long will this much food last for, before you need to go for another grocery run?

I love watching you two. Don't know if I could handle flying everywhere. I am scared of flying.

Just wondering how you got the trucks into your village I've seen in the other videos? And how do you have electricity so remote?

Curious how you keep the food cold/frozen when waiting for air taxi?

Wow I hate shopping to begin with nevermind having to fly to get food and then fly it home 😲😲😊

How do you keep frozen veggies and milk , ice cream cold during your trip? Is the airplane taxi quick. Yikes all that food. You almost need a person in Anchorage to do the shopping lol Alaska is just another whole different world 😊

Please can you show us what you cook at the lodge and your pantry please

Started watching more admittedly cause you guys are so cute together he seems like a very very good man. For a very very good womsn. Amazing ppl are amazing

I don’t know why I’m shocked you all don’t have a wholesale restaurant supply company up there.. That said, I was also thinking the bill would be higher.

Dearest Salina, just curious how that sailboat traveled to the water in front of your lodge? From a map it looks as if there is no ocean access. Tia

How long does it take to get all the stuff back to the lodge? Do any of the frozen things defrost or is it really quick?

how much does all the transportation cost for everything including you guys

question?, do you guys have to pay for the air taxi and the car when you get to land? if so how much do you spend?

Do you rent a vehicle when you are Anchorage?

❤❤❤

Ohhh! This was before you were married! That's why it was fiance.

So our cases of 7UP in Chicago IL is more expensive then Alaska WOW

How cold is it there that that ice cream does not melt? I know its Alaska but its still late spring.

Wow u fly twice a week! How much is a flight?

I would love to vacation at your resort! I am terrified of bears do you see many in your area?

Is that your family car or do you have to rent a car every time you go to ankage

Is there a reason you shop at Costco and not a restaurant depot or food purveyor like Shamrock Foods or Sysco?

how much are allowed (personal bag) not by weight of other supplies. could you get away with say 5 lbs. on your lap? i used to load planes with post office and each box each bag no matter was considered 5 lbs...

without an intention of insulting or talking ill , i recommend your husband to make a visit for mental health wellness and stable behaviour , he seems to have gone through a lot , it might be urgent and you'll figure that out afterwards Salina , with all good wishes to you both

So when yous fly do you take any of your perishables in your plane. Or does everything get flown in a fly plane that's not yours

Random question…. Why did your husband tear the cardboard box for the bacon when putting the empty ones back in the fridge? Is there a reason or does he just like to rip boxes lol

Oh is that e Whole food area refrigerated ?

It’s nice that you have a strong Fiancé to go shopping with you.

Restaurants cannot buy from Costco legally in USA. Distribution companies only

How much does the air taxi cost? Would it be cheaper if Y'all would have your own😁

Do you keep a car in Anchorage?

What does it cost to fly it all back to the lodge

I will never gwt over hour husbands smile. So gorgeous

How do you get the icecream back with out it melting?

Who comes up with the recipes for the lodge?

Alaska is a awesome beautiful state awesome people but there's no way I could live there to expensive for food also I live in state of Missouri, food is way che aper in Missouri

For a 12 ok of coke here in ne ohio it’s 8 dollars so a case Isn’t so badly priced

Who is Jared? I haven’t been keeping up. Is he from Michigan? That’s my home state.

So, is there a Weight limit for flying the groceries & cargo back to the village? Does your grandpa fly you each time?...

Lovely video x

💜

Handsome guy!

I'd like to learn more about your (now) husband. Did I hear you say he lived in MI? How did you meet? Is he from Alaska? If not, how does he like living there?

Where in michigan is he from .. we live in Grand Rapids.

$119? Not here in NY. That was pretty cheap.

To bad you can't get Sysco to deliver...

How often do you need to do a run like this?

Are there cars at the airport that you rent for the day to do all of this shopping?

I would love to work with y’all but don’t know if I can stand the cold 😂😂

Where in Michigan are you from

Rather than having to trek to Anchorage Costco, have Costco ship to you. If they won’t, petition to Costco to build a Costco in your small town which would be convenient to those living in surrounding towns.

Hi from Mississippi

Isn't there a Food Wholesale Distributor that services all the small town grocery stores that is cheaper than Costco?? I'm surprised that all your groceries etc., will fit into your lodge airplane...What is the Air Taxi?? I can't imagine having to do that kind of shopping 2x/week during your busy season...that is a lot of work packing that stuff ...

Does anyone make cheese in Alaska?

Who;s car are you driving in achorage?

How does the ice cream not melt between Costco and your resort?

You are going to need a Boeing 747 to get that all back to the resort.

Tip and a word of caution: please for the love do not, I repeat do not show your recepit! Because it's got your last 4 digits of your credit card number. Just tell us the amount, but you do not need to show us. :)

I never seen meat like that not fridgerated, and the milk too wtf?

Do you check expiration dates ?

That is a gorgeous man.

I love when creaters spend the whole video looking at themselves on the camera instead of at the lens while recording 😂

Hello 🖐️I'm Kat from the Ozarks (Missouri)... I LOVE your channel and the smile y'all bring to my face 😊🥰... I've been Tuning In for a month now ❤... I DO want to share, I have a "newly" acquired Oncologist; they're suspecting leukemia 😞... I'm 57 with one son, daughter in law & 2 awesome grandkids Haylee (10) & Richard (6)... I've unknowingly been sick with this for a year 😞. .. docs wouldn't listen to me about symptoms I was having; now my white blood cells are crashing.... Bone marrow biopsy this week will tell complete story, 🤔... But I'd LOVE to share some recipes I think would be a hit at your lodge... Just with simple Pantry Staples... 😊... Do you have an email for your Subscribers? 💞... Many Hugs!

you guys should find farmers and buy bulk beef im gunna tell you as someone how raises and sell my beef you can get a about 1000 pound of meat from a cow .

That would suck to have to do that much shopping all the time for groceries and the husband doing all the work while she holds a phone 😂

Its not a life like it's portrayed, it's so difficult 😪

First

He is so hot, like how did that happen ❤

I really like your videos but when you are showing receipts please make sure you hide your Credit card information, other then that keep up the videos

Wear your hair down more and hey why not a perm it a better look for ya hey I have five sisters just saying she looks better with her hair down so what 😊

Irks me watching couples and one just stands there throwing orders looking lazy and ... Yup same goes if it was him standing round throwing orders doing jack shit I'd say same thing..Gal help u got two pairs of hands aswell think of it as exercise like gahhhdamn why the man gotta do it all u can't even pick up a small box of anything. Just point here there grab this grab that 4 of these 6 of those with ur piece of paper

her man is attractive.....sorry lol

ok.. a couple of things.......1) the music when you aren't talking is unnecessary, because 85% of the time you were talking anyways, and the music was too, too loud compared to your talking voice, necessitating us to turn down/turn up the volume... .....2) you bought alot of perishables.... milk, sour cream, yogurt, frozen veg, ice cream....... but YOU DIDN'T EXPLAIN HOW YOU KEEP IT COLD/FROZEN FROM THE STORE TO THE RESORT! 3) you explained at least SIX TIMES that you were buying for your resort and not for personal use......... we get it...... don't be so repetitive!. 4) you did not explain how you store all these perishables at the resort..... do you have a walk-in frig/walk-in freezer? We don't know, cuz you didn't tell us..... 5) how long will the food from this trip last? We don't know, because you didn't tell us..... we do know the staff arrives soon..... next week maybe? but how many staff do you feed? We don't know, because you didn't tell us........Do you personally fly down to Anchorage every week to do this shopping during the season? You didn't buy any fruit. No blueberries, bananas, apples, oranges, melons...... You also didn't buy any fresh veg....... tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, avocados, beets, green onions, lettuce, brown/yellow/purple/sweet onions, shallots/garlic........... do you grow your own at the resort? We don't know, because you didn't tell us............what about toilet paper, paper towels, napkins and cleaning supplies? You didn't buy any, why? You didn't tell us.

Very interesting, you guys are kinda funny, I’m not sure if your fiancé is joking or he’s honestly a bit slow and doesn’t catch on very fast…..
