Summer Foraging & Cooking At The Cabin 

Okay...so WHEN are we going to see the COOKBOOK?!?!? We're WAITING!!!!!!! 😀

Okay that’s IT!! Y’all absolutely have to make a COOKBOOK!!! Seriously the amount of creative recipes you two make almost each week deserves a book!! Who else agrees?!!

I chuckled when Eric went to smooch Arielle and she had full mouth of food. It was a cute moment.

I love the differences between Bo and Bandit! Bo is slow and steady and quiet while Bandit is like "look at me!!! I'm the king of the hill and TAKE that you filthy stick!!!" oh the dinner looked amazing as usual!

Seriously, anyone else feel like they could watch Eric and Arielle's videos and vlogs all day? I can't be alone when I say that I have watched every video and still can't get enough! I'm living vicariously through you two and I'm loving the ride! 💖

My god there’s nothing I need more from y’all than a cookbook. Your relationship with food is my most favorite thing.

Would you both ever consider doing a harvesting/cooking style video while answering FAQs from the fan base? I love how therapeutic watching the harvest or cooking process is, I would also love to hear you answer others questions that you may not get to on a regular basis. Thank you for always providing amazing content ❤️

The stumps can be used for a hugelkultur (yes it’s spelled correctly) raised garden bed with all of the stumps you have

I wish more of your generation had and showed the love and respect not only to each other but for the simple things in life to enjoy. You work hard, you play hard and at the end of the day you reap what you’ve sewn 10 fold. I have mad respect for you two!!

Watching this reminds me to get outside this weekend and gather the wild Rose's, hawkweed, dandelions, plantain, and daisies... oh! Making a tea from chamomile, but not adding sugar, will help keep mosquitoes away if you put it in a spray bottle and spritz it on you and the dogs. Also, it doesn't smell bad

8:38 I guess you could say those wild Irises are... _Outstanding in their field._

You guys are so creative and knowledgeable. I love your channel. The dogs are a riot too. Arielle, I NEED your scone and bread recipes PLEASE!

I love that your videos do not have any / too much distracting music, just pure raw videos. ❤️

The dinner segment - priceless! You have an amazing instinct for food preparation, and you clearly appreciate good food. Love watching you forage and prepare your harvest.

Nothing better than coming home from work and watching my favorite Alaskan couple 🥳🥳

All of your hard work and devotion has so paid off,your all living the dream,except for the litter box's

Love these longer videos! Keep them coming!

Another great video as always. The old name for dandelion jelly or syrup is poor man's honey. It's another reason bee's love it. Love making herbal salts, and wanted to say please use parchment paper when making it. If it gets too warm the wax will come out of the wax paper. Have a blessed evening. Now waiting patiently for the next video. 🍀

13:25…That’s an excellent spruce burl. A woodworker would make a great bowl from it. And thanks for another great video!

My husband is a big fisherman and in winter he always bring home Huge Atlantic Salmons that he catches Near us On Lake Ontario. Right now he has been bringing home Perch which is MY favorite. We like to dip the Perch in a bit of Thinned out Pancake batter and fry in a little butter. Yummy!

Have you considered building a huge Hügelkultur mound out of the soily stump mound ? Turn a problem into a free food growing solution that could increase the rent value of the possible future rental property. Also, I've been eating Dandelion flowers for about 40 years, I fry the flowers in the same breading or batter and grease after frying Morel mushrooms, the Dandelions take on much of the flavor of the Morels. 😋

How about an off grid Air B&B cheap sheds that are well is insulated plenty of firewood and a big pop belly stove great for people for stop before going on a one in life time Adventure for game or fish!! Easy to maintain too once a week go clean them if I lived out there would definitely have a few $$$$

Maybe one day y'all could build an outdoor enclosed kitchen with screened windows. Would certainly help keep the flies away while you're cooking :)

Hi! I am in love with you guys and your way of life. I am from North Carolina, and try to grow as much of our food as possible! So envious of you being able to fish for salmon! I know you guys rely on moose also, and do you raise some of your chickens for food? I love watching you cook also! You two make a great team! First time commenting, but I get excited when I see a new video of yours posted! Thank you for sharing!

Your lettuce from the garden looked so delicious. I will now go to bed craving salad from Alaska!

When I lived in Alaska I made wild rose syrup too! I loved to use it to sweeten my tea in the mornings. Thank you for sharing this - I miss Alaska and your videos bring back so many good memories.

I started watching the two of you a short while ago and I realized some of your videos I'm watching are older as well as the newer ones but I humbly say this. I've been in the world a long time and I'm telling you I am in awe of your knowledge and skills. Especially after you mentioned your backgrounds I thought maybe you had careers that gave you these skills but you are far above any of the videos of off-grid cabins that I have watched. I do admire a lot of the off-grid cabin or huts whatever they may be but I haven't found anything that lives up to what you have accomplished. Then I've just come across your 2021 video of the other parcel of land that you bought. I have shared your videos with other people n they feel the same way. You've actually got a little mini town you got your beautiful garden of vegetables the canning the building of the root cellar putting that siding on your house just the two of you. All the recipes and tips and information you give. I don't know if there's anything that you don't know about in those woods. And of course being an animal lover I love the dogs and the cat out there and you making sure the dogs are warm on certain days. I am a little curious about the cat though I've seen you I guess maybe an earlier videos leave to go away from your cabin and you take the dogs but what happens to the cat is he tucked away somewhere else that we don't know. I love watching your fur babies as well. I was surprised to hear that both your dogs are the same age where one seems older the other one seems like a puppy..lol I grew up with a mother who kept canning and making her own bread and anything else. Even though I tried I was never blessed like she was with doing that. Each video that I see whether it be an older video or a newer video I learn something and I'm always impressed. 🙋

I am bringing my wild rose tea to a boil as I watch this again! I love what you two do. You are such an inspiration for the simple life and hard work!!

When your dog had that stick I said, get it boy! Show that stick who’s boss!!

You guys are better than any show that I've seen on the Food Network. Thanks.

How good is it to be able to have freshly picked food on your table every day? Just amazing!

Your appreciation of nature is astounding. Respecting the healing birch, glorifying the little frog, only harvesting a small amount of plant life...all you ways are lessons to us all.

minute 14:46 - Bluebells are SO sweet-looking! and love the colors.... Eric says they taste sweet too!

Thank you for teaching us about plants that can be used for teas. Also about how to make them into teas.

The sound of chopping salt is just amazing lol who would’ve thought that would be something people would like lol

One of the dandelions in my yard was strikingly variegated this year. That was pretty cool. My parrot and I eat the greens!

Spruce Tip Tempura = GENIUS

Excited to be coming to Anchorage in 3 weeks to visit our daughter's family who moved there 2 years ago. Between your videos and their prodding, I could see us ending up moving there, lol!

The lady seems like such a natural teacher, easy to listen too and intelligent.

Eric & Arielle, most admirable couples living together in a remote area in Alaska, Eric is a man of all Trades, he is a cook, builder, carpenter, electrician, mechanic, fisherman, gardener...etc. So is Arielle, she hunted a Moose, & butcher it professionally, I think Eric mention one time, that Arielle took a course on that. Above all, they are both a professional of making an excellent & entertaining U tube videos, recording there daily life on an entertaining professionally done videos. Keep up the good work. I enjoy watching your excellent videos, God Bless both of you.

The difference between Bo and Bandit is so cute and funny...one's so zen and the other is a maniac I love it 😍😂

I love seeing all the different plants. I can't believe you have wild roses blooming already!

Bo is my spirit animal.

When I was younger, I'm 65 now, I used to nibble on the Spruce tips and really liked the taste, but because I really didn't know if it was safe to do so that put me off, boy was I ever wrong. As you may know that i live in northeastern Ontario Canada, and minus your mountains and salmon rivers, our land is similar as your Alaska flora and fauna, so your videos are very useful to me, Thanks!

If you fry the dandelions in flour and butter.they taste just like fried zucchini.

Love the thumbnail, Eric yr a trip and Back. 🤘 Y'all make me smile. Just noticed Bandit is rocking the David Bowie eyes.

Awe! you two love birds enjoying the fruits of your labor, love the vlog guys have an amazing day and stay safe 😊

Fantastic thanks so much all your hard work pays off in a lovely meal and all the animals and wildlife xxxx

Y'all always make the most interesting things to eat. I really wish I knew how to forage, but I just don't trust myself. But! I am continuing to grow our food this year. I had no idea y'all were developing the second property as an income property. That's such a cool idea! I still look forward to seeing what y'all do with it! I seriously almost hope it will end up being some quirky yet super cool place with wonderful edible gardens to walk through. Edible meaning like the flowers that can be eaten as you walk along. That would be so stinkin' awesome! And, let's face it, millennials are looking for those destination properties for vacation. Done right, y'all, you're sitting on a gold mine. 😉

I admire you guys so much..so much energy....the energy comes from your love of what you are doing....and that you are soul mates....love ya

You are the handiest two people I have ever seen, quite the pair to say the least. I love this simple living, and Eric is quite the chef as well.

I would definitely put a huge flower garden in that pile of stumps. Cover w the wood chips and circle it w rock. Herbs too !

I really enjoy when u do videos on the nature's grocery store,I enjoy learning each edible plants. U both are an inspiration to all who want a more free lifestyle. U too enjoy Eric and Arielle. Those did look like turkey tail mushrooms,do u grow pheasant back mushrooms as well.

You guys should really build a Sauna, a must have off grid. You can wash and heat yourself up, wash and dry larger clothing like overalls, dry clothes in no time, heat up or melt things you maybe wouldn't do indoors etc etc, it's just awesome! Cheers from Sweden.

Which is more enjoyable,t the natural settings of the life you are living, or the creations of delicious food by the end??? I continue to really enjoy both. Thanks for sharing. Crystal

Another great tea, especially for evenings is a little yarrow tops, some spruce tips, and healall.

I love to watch when the dogs are present,take care both and I love to watch your blog

Can’t wait to see what you guys are going to do with the new property! I’d be interested to know how you are going to remove that big pile. Keep us posted!

I'm wondering about what you said regarding the roses and the bitterness when you steep them as tea. Do you always steep your herbal teas with boiling water? I know that if I use boiling water with a delicate tea, like white or green tea, it makes them taste REALLY bitter. If you end up with more roses (and I'm headed to Hatcher Pass this weekend to see what's out and about), maybe try steeping them at just under boiling, like 180 or 190 degrees (to me, it's when I can start to "hear" the water heating up) and see if that helps?

As always, I am so impressed by your culinary endeavors! Also, there was a moment of peak physical comedy in there when Eric went into give Arielle a kiss RIGHT when she’d taken the world’s biggest bite of salad - I laughed.

The faces that Arielle pulls when she is un-hinging her jaw to put a gigantic forkful of salad into her mouth give me so much life. You guys are just the best. I love seeing two young people making their own path in the world with so much joy and curiosity.

spruce tips, chives in white wine vinegar look very interesting and beautiful in the jar!

I would have never thought to do that with dandelions. Today though I got to taste some different syrups and jelly's that my friend made. She made jelly from violets, dandelion which was awesome! I now think of dandelions in a different way. She also made some honeysuckle jelly! I couldn't believe how much it tasted like honey. I have that growing all over my fence. Now I think I'm going to have to harvest some and make some myself.

I love how you love each other when you gave your wife a hug and kiss! I miss that so much! Great cooking and foraging as always. I learned a lot!

I was raised harvesting dandelion greens here in Vermont. Harvest before the buds start to open. We steam the greens - like beet greens.

Your site makes me hungry and excited to see what's next! Cudos to all your hard work 👍

Why am I so fascinated with this page! I love the way you guys live off the land!

By far my favorite couple of off gridders to watch. Thank you for sharing your lives.

I have a 20 year old plum tree that had not had plums in 3 years. It is loaded down this year. Wish I could send you a bunch, they make a beautiful jam.

In the spring I like to make clover jelly. Such a delicate jelly and everybody loves it. God bless.

Your cooking is amazing. I've been cooking and baking for 60years and I totally failed at making deep fried fish the other day. Love your videos and cooking and garden, foraging videos

LOVE the frog spotlight segment

Enjoyed this video and the variety of edibles you harvested. The syrups are very enticing-! Thank You!

Thankyou for sharing your thoughts and experiences,I appreciate your honesty.

Nothing makes me more happier than watching a simple living Alaska video 😁

Never one to comment, but I've been enjoying some Zen watching you two. I feel like your "mom" now that lives in Iowa and is worried about you - as well as Bo & Bandit. I am so happy you are living your best lives. (Baking soda & water (made into a paste) is wonderful for pulling the sting out of bee stings and bug bites in general.)

Made my mouth water. You guys are great about using the things around you. All of it looked good.

I just love you guys so much. Thanks for sharing!!! Definitely going to try the dandelion applications.

Would love to smell the rose tea! Another fun adventure. Thanks for sharing.

Yet another hypnotizing video. Cannot watch TV cooking shows but yours are always interesting and always watch to the end. So great to see the respect you show to each other and to your surroundings. 👍

I think you can make coffee from the dandelions roots if I recall correctly. And salad from the leafs when new and tender since they won't be as bitter.

You can also make dandelion wine with the flowers. All you need is a crock some sugar and a cool dark place.

I have the same orange and gray container that collapse for easy storage I like it I use it for collecting mushrooms , wood ,berries ect ect 😊

Hello. You have some beautiful wildflowers and ground plants.

You guys are so good in front of the camera I see a series in your future. “Life in Alaska with Eric & Arielle”. It’s better than what is currently being filed in Alaska.

with all those logs make an elevate patio on top of that mount of dirt fenced around with logs incave logs as stairs it would be a nice elevated view spot plus less bugs around to rest or lunch.

Your syrup looks so pretty! All the colors in jars at the end of canning season brings me such joy! I am wondering what your high tunnel is looking like about now. Thanks for sharing your life with us!!

I really enjoy watching your videos. Our family lives on the Kenai Peninsula. Your cooking videos have been very informative. Thank you :)

merci pour vos vidéos si belles et très intéressantes merci de nous faire découvrir votre région

Hello Bandit and Bo,you are so handsome...lucky to have big space to play at ,and luckier to have a loving fur parents..keep safe

We have always breaded and fried dandelion flowers. Yummy!

Can I just say that I live for your videos!

I love that you 2 know how to use nature for food.👍

We bought a few acres 5 miles from Mt. Washington in New Hampshire and bought 3 10x10 really well made ‘sheds’. Built by Amish. We intend to attach them to each other as a vacation ‘house’. Bedroom dining/ kitchen bathroom. Most of the property is wetlands with a small buildable area. There is a stream in back. Snowmobile heaven. We will sell it as such.

I really enjoyed your show and I look forward to seeing more.

I love this property. Glad to see it again.

Peace & Joy to you guys. May your love and understanding for each other grow like your spinach! Open your doors, walk it out and talk it out. Fresh picked rose petals and steaming water in a mason jar are bee-you-tea-full. I think I'm going to try that.

It’s very sweet when you guys cuddle and smooch. Dandelion wine is popular. I have to explore with the plant. I learn a lot from you and love foraging.

Man, I could watch you two everyday

Ok I’ve been watching your channel non stop. You are actually making me excited for our Vermont winter. I just want to say I’m never plucking dandelion petals again !! Why had I never thought of cutting them?!? Thanks so much for sharing your experience with all of us 😊
