We are home! Now what? | Arriving in the dark during an Alaska Snowstorm 

I gotta say.. I would not have dared come home until June! You guys have guts. Just a suggestion .. always leave your wood stove primed and ready to light.. with a decent supply of wood. You never know what kind of emergency Alaska is going to throw at you. That kind of cold 🥶 is life threatening. No joke.

Wish I was there to help you guys.

Now that was tough, but ya'll did it. That almost made me freeze...lol

I keep a spare set of keys to my camp in my vehicle at all times. I'm getting older now so I make lists on what to bring out there..

Wow, we are so happy you finally made it. It’s funny but after watching your story for so long you are no longer strangers we are invested in and care about you. I cannot believe you stood in such cold to get those shots for the subscribers. Glad you cut it short to figure out a plan to get back to cabin. It looked very rough. Welcome home though that was a long journey.

If I could give this video a bazillion likes, I would, after what the two of you, and your dogs, endured out there. Glad you arrived home safely and are now in the comfort of your own home. Blessings. Also, everyone watching should insure they subscribe to this channel. It's quite obvious they go above and beyond for their subscribers. Kudos!

Hope you get all the work done. Very glad you got home safely even tho you had a mess, hope you find keys, fix window & get the fireplace fixed so you can stay warm. Take care you too NZ❤😢

Wow... What a day to come home to.

All I can say is BLESS YOUR HEART!!!

Oh my my, i could SEE N FEEL it was brutal cold hard time. I'm happy you guys Made It!!

I love you guys...don't die in the snow in the dark....😢

I hope that next video comes out VERY soon because I hate leaving us on pins and needles like this. At least the fact that you got this one out means you are surviving. I just can't even imagine how that was--from a not sunny right now but much warmer Norther Central Florida!

Thank God you got in! I was cold just watching ya! Lol❤❤❤

Wow, incredible. Looks so cold.

What a welcome back home!🌹

Glad to see you are home, quite the adventure. The struggle can be real some days, summer will come! I don't know how you handle those conditions, you are rock stars!!!

Great video

What a welcome home!!!

Looks like it is snowing hard. 🤗❤️🙏🏻❤️🤗

Way to go guys!! If there’s a will, there’s a way!! And… Welcome home!! It’s been too long!!🤘🏻😃

Gosh what a homecoming. Also the list of chores after all that driving. You will need a good holiday ... after all projects to do.

Should always hide a key somewhere outside so you can always get back in or if you're gone, a neighbor or friend can get in if there is an emergency.

These are my kids. I wanted them to stay here in Tennessee till warmer weather . This is hard to watch. I know their struggles! Love you guys and miss you ❤ you guys need help. Sorry but my mama heart is crying to watch you both struggle 😢 just wish Alaska never enter our lifes.

Oh my gosh. I don't think you could have picked a worse time to arrive home. I'm cold and worn out just watching this! I caught myself holding my breath a couple times. GREAT video!!!

Wowza

WOW!! I give you guys so much credit!! Unbelievable journey home. !

Omg!! You two are the real deal, such troopers, I absolutely Love your channel❤️.. all the challenges you both face and still tape it fir us, to experience right along with you💕.. by far the best RU-vid channel ..ever so grateful you are “ home” at last..I have had you on my mind, Thank you for the update, look forward to your next video, stay warm and “ welcome home”

Bless y'all!! That looked incredibly difficult!! Glad you made it home!!

Thank goodness you all are safe and warm!

Well, that will get the heart pumping. I'm so glad you guys made it safe and through all the struggles. Be safe and God Bless you All.

As I watched you trying to plow through 2 feet of snow to the house, I found myself straining to make it alongside you. Several times I've waded through deep snow like that, but more for the amusement of it, not for survival. Newly discovered, I've subscribed and can't wait to continue watching your progress as the formidible team you are. Great respect!

After all that u 2 deserve to be called TRUE ALASKANS!!!!! Stay warm & take care my friends!

Psalm 9:10-11 King James Version 10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. 11 Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings. Gods blessings over you .

Thanks for taking us through the drive home. Would love to do someday but unlikely so glad I got to experience it with you!

You guys are incredible 😊

Wow, that was a true test of perseverance and endurance. That was a genuine struggle to get to your house, so you could spend a cold night huddled under blankets and quilts. When you departed for Tennessee this soorts of challenges were not on your mind. I hope you have your wood stove going and have gotten warm!

I give you credit for not giving up, I would have waited till morning to make the trip back to the cabin. But welcome home!

Glad you guys made it home safe.

Definitely better get a few house keys made. I can feel the struggle. Wouldn’t want to see yous have to go through that again.that was some rough weather.

I know its always great to be home. Home sweet home. ❤ Hopefully by now you've gotten the truck & all up to the house and able to get started on your Homestead and loving the journey again. 😊

Good morning from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures and I am surprised you didn't have a shovel in your supplies

It’s all about the adventure

Welcome Home! What a journey you had. Great job. We are looking forward to making it to our place in Homer during April/May. Stay warm and full of coffee.🎉

That was sure a job to get in! Bet you’ll be hiding a key near the house. Take care

Welcome home.❄️

Can’t wait to see ur next video

Best wishes for you in your frosty home

Y'all are amazing making the trip home in the middle of winter. I'm assuming you survived or we wouldn't be watching this video 🙏👍💪🥶

So glad you made it home safe. Good luck. Get a fire going and relax. Take care🥰🇺🇸

Glad you made it home and in the house but wow. As I've heard it said... The Struggle Is Real. Cheers.

Welcome home!

"I love my house, I love my car, but I don't like the cold, and I don't like missing keys."

That was a dumpster fire ! You guy need to regroup and figure out and never leave

So glad y'all made it home okay, but what an ordeal upon your arrival and all that snow.

Boy it has to be worth it to be in the woods with limited things. Lucks is send to you guys. Take care and get some rest for the big job tomerrow.

Wow! What a journey! So after all you have done and been through and whatnot here you are coming home does this feel like “home” ?

My friend you need a big machine to clean the driveway

🤗❤❤✌

Cold weather makes everything much harder & takes longer to do! I was feeling yalls pain for sure! I trained in the mountains of Bridgeport, California back in 02 or 03 at a Mountain Warfare Training Center that the Corps has. Lower base camp was above 6 or 8k ft and then we went up in elevation to do our training. Minimum of 12-15ft of snow everywhere, made snow caves/ shelters to live out of, small 3z4 man tents and heavy duty 10-12 man tents that we had a small wood stove that we could use in those. It sucked and made all of us hate the cold weather after that. Exposed skin was constantly chafed. We have no clue of the actual temperature with the wind chill but without the wind chill, it stayed around -30° so I'd say it was around -50 at least with the 20+mph wind that was constant there. It was miserable but it would be different doing what yall are doing. At least when you get cold you could take a break and go inside but I do feel for yall in certain situations like yall returning home and having to trek through that snow pulling a sled. We had to pull sleds with our tents and stove on them up and over mountain tops. Being able to achieve those things felt great but since then, we all refuse to be uncomfortable & suffer in cold weather unless we absolutely have to cuz uncle sam ain't making us do anything anymore lol. Keep making videos yall! I'm happy to see yalls following is growing & I'm proud of yall for doing your own thing & sticking it out up there creating a good life for yourselves! I think everyone should have to experience that way of life for a few months just so they stop taking everyday things for granted! I can't wait to see what spring brings us, I'm sure yall got lots of plans once the house is completely finished. Hopefully that spring stays running all year long with plenty of water. I how the go pro works out for yall as well, I bought a new one and one of my brothers did also so we could record our 20yr reunion, they kept going dead super fast or overheating. I'm sure yall won't have the overheating problem due to the temps there but keep me posted on how it works out cuz mine is useless here unless I turn quality way down so I can actually get more than 10 mins of recording out of each battery

That's brutal! As an Albertan, who is use to the cold, I would not have attempted this until daylight and with someone there to plow. Hope you get the house nice and warm. 😀

Getting plow on truck first on todo list

I think I would of went ahead and took of the plywood and got into the house at least it would of been warm when you got back with more stuff.

Rule of 3 and 3 ways to do everything

yup. wind makes it uncomfortable. 😢. I hate high windchill days

Just curious why didnt you get a room or stay n the warm tuck til it was warm? Prayers all works out for you guys 🙏🙏. Thanks for sharing hope u can get n your home get a good warm fire burning

Sorry, 🇬🇧posted before the difficulties of the ‘dead’ side by side, barrier and deep snow sled pull emerged. Life not easy in Alaska - especially arriving home after the epic drive ! Now key drama ! Never ending challenge. Outhouse search, then burgularizing🤣 tough day. Commiserations. Phil 🇬🇧

So happy we saw the frozen shitter!! And why is it full of snow? Isn’t there a roof on it?

After that long drive home and coming back to all that deep snow on the driveway that was hard going 😢

Great video,, I can't imagine all that snow ,,do u miss ohio yet ,we're gonna get a whole 4 inches tonite ,,keep up the great videos and stay safe out there

Double layer that wall with refectix? Bless you folks you need kerosene.. and wood heater. Generator and solar battery ..

Burrrr , getting in sure didn't look like fun but you made it, Too bad you didn't have a snowmobile waiting at the gate for ya to pull the sled in . That is one nasty snow storm really felt for ya's , And then the key issue gezz . Brought back memories of me trying to get to camp. You folks sure have some work cut out for ya when the weather breaks , especially with the wood stove to keep you warm . I wish you all the best Look forward to the nexxt video, Watching from Ontario Canada.

I guess Alaska gave you two a big welcome home

Not the homecoming you had hoped for ... very poor time planning for your arrival, in the deep.of the night instead of having daylight and prepared to clear the drive way first ... Good luck for the coming days!

👍🇬🇧

more torque is better. I got cold just watching you two😮

You don’t have a shovel? We lived in Ak for 6 years and would never go in the winter without a shovel!

NoPrep

You need snow blower!!!

WOW you guys are tough. Get to safety

too bad the camera work wasn't better would have probably shown just how hard the struggle really was

I never been to Alaska, but why was it needed to have that tree log going cross your driveway? just wonder that is all

Where are the dogs 🤔

Where are the dogs???

Is this your first winter?

Where are the dogs?

No thank you!

I have to ask. Why not drive your 4x4 vehicle to your house??????

Keep the camera still

And NO show shoes. WTF.

wow so disorganized..no keys no shovel...🤦 better luck next time

I don't why young lady you are standing out in the whiteout and see with as much as you guys on the truck 4 low and first gear and drive it back into where the house is

OMG. Are you newbies. Living in Alaska in winter and NO shovel in your truck and NO rope or bungie cords for your load on the sleigh. How are you still alive with no survival common sense.

WTF? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Does not make any sense.

How can you not have the key? I mean really? And why is the battery dead on the ATV? Probably mute because it wouldn’t go through the wall of snow the plow left! Bozos one and all. I thought you had to be smart to live in Alaska! 😂😂😂😂😂

Please don't you gum well on camerait is very. Rude thank you
