After a hard days work it’s always nice to unwind with a relaxing walk on the beach.
Some interesting trivia: Alaska has more coastline than ALL lower 48 states combined!

You'll get there. One foot in front of another. Everyone is having weird weather. I guess we're just going to have to adjust and deal with it. You sure will be busy come spring and don't feel bad asking for help. Back in the day that's how friends, family and neighbors got things done. Helping each other out. Take care . See you on th next one. ❤❤

I LOVE how the dogs vie for your attention!! Its also so satisfying to see that the dogs stay around you when they’re out!! LOVE the GSD’s!! Thanks for showing them “observing” your work!!😂😂😂

@waderue 4 месяца назад

you guys really need a tractor or good skid steer so you keep your road dug out and make threw winter easier because you are putting a lot of work into just keeping warm and feed

@ouralaskahomestead 4 месяца назад

Equipment sure would make things easier. Maybe someday we’ll be able to get one.

Take some of your ash from your wood stove and spread it on the walkways. The ciders will give you some traction.

@ouralaskahomestead 4 месяца назад

I think we'll try that next time we clean it out.

@anafredbrutout3648 24 дня назад

learn to harness those dogs, and have them pull the wood. you might be able to make a rope harness for the wood pulling. Worth a try. Try using your ashes to make the snow trails less slippery.

Great idea!

@DanielSkinnerDETTPKS 4 месяца назад

Maybe in a few years, you will have a little better time at getting the winter wood supply? It was nice to hear your son getting his goals started. Back in he 1960's, I grew up in eastern Oklahoma, my parents started their homestead of about 3 acres, with the out-house, when I went to college in fall of 1970, they finally got indoor plumbing. I now life about 20 miles to the east, in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Thanks for sharing. Peace, Long Life, & Health to All.

@ouralaskahomestead 4 месяца назад

Had we not left I think we would have had time to be more prepared. Last summer was spent building the house, this summer can be used to get more settled in and prep for next winter.

@lindahill9215 4 месяца назад

There's a screw or something fell off the battery when you pulled it out of the ATV. Look on the video. Good to see you two are back😊

@ouralaskahomestead 4 месяца назад

I’ll have to go back and look at that section then see if I can find the piece. Thanks!

@RunningGreyWolf Месяц назад

Maybe you can buy harnesses and get your dogs to pull the wood. They'd love having a job & save you a ton of work.

Craig actually built a sled for them. Now I just need to find a couple harnesses. 🐾

@joylefevre5635 4 месяца назад

How comforting to know no matter what the weather you will always be warm with that beautiful fire going, one less thing to worry about. Its all going to come together. I am excited to see the progress you make during the summer and fall before next winter. One foot in front of the other they say..

@ouralaskahomestead 4 месяца назад

Sometimes I just need to be reminded, this is only temporary. All this snow just makes things seem hopeless right now. It is coming together slowly. Spring is around the corner and then hopefully we'll see some real progress. Thank you 💛

Just found your channel from the suggestions list. You two are the real deal. Hard workers. I'm a little confused on why your driveway is in the state it is but I'm going back to watch the older videos and get caught up. I like seeing channels that are actually homesteading vs all these city folks moving up there and just buying all the equipment or hiring all the chores out. I want to do this same thing but I was starting to think if you're not rich it can't be done. Looks like you've relit the fire under my dream. Great video.

@damelesley-annewakefieldkt4128 28 дней назад

Good morning from Belize, Central America. Am just wondering why you don't stack the firewood sideways, which has been proven to be much safer, and you would carry more. Also why use your hands to pull your sled, when you could put the rope around your waste and let your body do the pulling?

@tanyajenkins919 4 месяца назад

Yer starting to get tired yer woods falling off it's sled. Hope you both have a good evening.

That was my last trip. You’re right, I was getting tired by that point and didn’t stack it very well. Thanks for watching.

Happy Friday to you both. Thank you so much for the new episode. Yes sir you need to be able to ask for help as your health is so important with so much to do when the snow does melt. Too bad you couldn’t hire a student to help, they could earn a little and possibly get credit at school depending on what course they are doing. Either way you rock doing these episodes with so much to do. Loved the solution to get battery out!!

You need to get you a snowmobile and then Blue will UA would slit and then you’ll be able to pull all that Core would through the snow and make it so much easier for you then you won’t have to use your little ass a TV or your other machine with the snow plow you’d be able to move a little bit more faster around the snow if we had a snow snow machine and made your trailer the white trailer to haul wood through the snow
