WE GET OUR TENT UP AND A FEW OTHER RANDOM PROJECTS DONE. 

Sorry if the music is a bit too loud. I tried to bring the music volume down in editing but for some reason came out louder once I uploaded it to RU-vid. We will be working hard to improve this in upcoming videos. We really appreciate any input and feedback.

Jay & Eleinne, I would add an AIR HORN to your Bear Spray protection, I've seen an Air Horn work to scare off bears when shouting did NOT work, plus can scare off moose & other wild animals & will save you on ammunition on warning shots. You're doing a great job with your property, thanks for sharing! 😊

Thoroughly enjoy your format and channel. You both are hard workers.

First of all, I would love to say how much I enjoy that both of you are concealed carry type people I really believe in the privilege of being concealed carry that means a lot to me & also I had a 1998 Ford F150 2 Wheel Dr. stepside just like yours except 2 Wheel Dr. I drove it forever. It was a wonderful truck long as you just do maintenance on it when needed. It will serve you good. Tiny Houston MS ( Len Price )

Hey from VA! Just found your channel and love watching cabin builds in Alaska. I also watch Becca & Levi’s channel and started from the very beginning and I have now watched all of your videos. Really looking forward to seeing how your cabin build goes. Good luck and I will be cheering for you both.

IMO a electric fence around your tent would be a very good investment to keep the critters away. Also it would give you piece of mind at night and when your away! Bears can really cause a lot of damage and could really tear up you very nice tent! Be safe!!!

playing music while talking makes it difficult to hear what your saying , but it will not stop me watching what hundreds of other people including me wish they could do , so good luck on your venture and cant wait to see your plans

You are going to LOVE your Kodiak tent! We have the same one and it's so much fun and roomy. We've been through lots of rain in ours over the years and it's only now starting to get damp at the seams in heavy rain. Time to treat it when we put it up this summer. Enjoying the progress you're making!

So glad to get another video from you guys. Love to watch your progress. And that was some bed frame...😃Looking forward to the next video. All the best to you. And thank for taking us along on your journey.

Awesome video! So cool to catch someone at the beginning of their journey. When you hit a hundred thousand subs, which you will, I will be pleased in knowing I picked a good channel and some interesting people. Off grid is challenging to begin with, probably 2-3x harder in Alaska. Looking forward to seeing more. Awesome tent, but man that’s a lot of guy wires to contend with…. Got a feeling a moose wouldn’t know what those ribbons mean. Lol😂

Hey guys, loving your content and i would like to help you guys by saying that for the old truck start with the simplest easiest fix first, get a mass airflow sensor spray and clean it( should be halfway thru the black rubber sleeve that goes from the filter box to the throttle body), just take it out, unplug it and clean the sensor itself and its plug, also change the air filter thats inside the big box too, further steps would be to take out the throttle body and clean it with throttle body spray, you may want to but a gasket for it when you put it back, and lastly may want to do a spark plug and cables replacement. Hope it helps and keep on going 😁

You guys are awesome, your hard work is getting the job done! I’ve added you to go to my “Alaska” notebook,I noted 12x12 Kodiak tent and Landglide app. I can’t wait to see the wood burning heater for the tent. Peace & Blessings!

I have that same tent, it's the second one, the first one the seam around the base rotted out, check your seam, you can water proof it w mineral oil and wax, but if it's like the first one I used if you don't seriously waterproof the canvas seam that is sewn to the floor, it will rot out within a few weeks. It's a bad design because the seam gets saturated and never dries. The rubberized floor material is excellent, if it extended a bit up the walls the tent would never fail. I also started having an issue w mold on the white roof material, I quickly eliminated that w vinegar. I used a camp chef tent wood stove in temperatures down to 10 F, the tent easily stayed between 70 and 80 degrees. However, you will get condensation on your bedding, I solved the problem w wool blankets. If you're going to burn wood, get the 8ft awning, wet or damp wood sucks in a tent stove. The awning is a life saver once it gets cold because a damp wood pile will dry in it.

I really like that tent platform. I also stayed in a Kodiak tent last summer in Alaska while I built my cabin.

Love the tent! Nice bed frame. Thanks for sharing.

The bed frame turned out great, it will be nice to have after a long day building

The bed frame looks awesome! Sorry to hear about your computer crashing 😢 So glad to be following your journey 🥰❤️🙏

Heading up there in a few weeks to start the he same process. We will also be living in a Kodiak canvas tent while we build our cabin

Looking forward to your build. ❤

I would have built the bed higher so you could utilize the space under the bed for more storage.

Loved this!!! You 2 are moving fast now :)

Good Luck with your build. Nice setup with your tent.

Hey new to your channel and I'm from North Carolina

For the RPM jumping up and down a couple hundred RPM when going constant speed, I would say it’s the transmission torque converter going in and out of lockup. With you have an electrical issue telling it to do that or the converter itself if bad

Cool bed frame. I bet it will even be able to hold a moose.

Hey J&E! I'm glad to see that you got your video finished up! Thanks for the mention, I truly appreciate it! About your truck -- what you are seeing is the torque converter clutch (TCC) engaging and disengaging. It is an electronic actuator in the transmission's torque converter, which reduces your rpm when it is engaged to save fuel. Generally it engages around 50mph, and you will see the rpm drop slightly while cruising. If you accelerate, the TCC disengages and the RPM's go back up slightly. If the road is gently rolling up and down hills, or depending on your driving habits, you'll notice the TCC engaging and disengaging. Generally this is normal. If it is happening excessively it becomes a nuisance, but it won't cause any damage. On older vehicles the TCC could be unplugged if it was acting up, though yours is likely too new for that. If you put the truck in "Tow" mode using the button on the shift lever, it will keep the truck out of overdrive, and also prevent the TCC from engaging. You will notice the truck running at higher RPM's and it will drop your fuel mileage if you keep it in tow mode. If you have any questions on it let me know, I tried to keep the explanation simple. Great progress, I'm looking forward to seeing the review of the tent. -Dusty

Love the "Helicopter Pad". By the way, in my book, there is no such thing as "overbuilt"!! LOL Personally I would have gone a little taller so you put taller totes under it.

Great Job You two! loved seeing the tent go up, that bed frame is brilliant! Hearing you talk a little during the filming of the video combined with the narration is perfect! :-). Jay if there was a way to contact you (email maybe) I have a few questions I would like to ask. I will look on your page for a way to contact you just wanted to give you a heads up it was me I guess in the subject line it will say "questions from Rich" Just so you can find it if our looking for it.

First time seeing your videos, just subscribed, looking forward to watching you build your home

You guys have to get a better microphone for your voice overs. Heck, just use a cell phone closer to your mouth. Best of luck to you up there in AK. I hope this channel is around in a year and the quality has gotten much better. I think what you guys are doing is great.

It's a Ford and it probably has the Metric transmission.

Hi J&E, found your channel recently. I am doing the same thing, setting up an off grid property on a lake in the Kenai/Nikiski area! Looking forward to watching you work on yours. Maybe we could trade ideas as we go. I’m also getting a Kodiak tent, the 12x16 one with a wood stove 😁

Try some Lucas transmission fix in it.

You can locate property lines for free with Google maps, at least where I live. Just an idea for your viewers who are suspicious of apps and data tracking.

Once you build a structure of some sort with roof, can the rain water be caught and stored for use?

my 2005 ford f150 has almost 300k miles on it. no major work done yet but it does sound like a diesel, lol.

You don’t want the moose coming in and crapping in your yard😳🫣What the heck are you doing in Alaska seems to me it’s Alaska if a critter wants to crap in your yard that’s what happens 🤣good luck on controlling nature 👍

Would an electric fence around the tent keep the moose away?

Sadly folks, the easiest way to get demonetized (or wind up a snowflake to report you) is to discuss or show pew-pews. I would highly recommend you steer clear of that topic. Sad to say because it is a part of where you and how you live but alas, it is what it is.

Why is music necessary

That was painful to watch.
