On this two night stay at our remote cabin in the woods we soak up the sun and relax with the dogs. Splitting wood, taking in the scenery, and cooking keeps us busy and content. With thoughts of not returning until the summer season, we bear proof the cabin and make the 60 mile journey home.

The funniest thing in these videos is seeing sled racing going by with dogs pulling everything .. and then there's your dogs kicking back watching the show from their snowmobile powered carriage! Some dogs are born into luxury. Nice videos.

I think it's awesome how in the winter videos it's Eric being all like "Thor with an Axe" while Arielle stomps around adorably flattening snow and in the spring/summer videos Arielle is the total Gaea earth mother garden ninja while Eric mostly carries stuff and digs holes. Perfect couple! Especially when they are lovey dovey! ;-)

Suggestion: Melt parfin wax and paint it on the bottom of your skids and sleds. You'll be surprised on how it will decrease the friction between the snow and metal skis and plastic.

Eric is an ace with that axe !!! they are both quite capable of living a beautiful life in Alaska.

@toddswenson9137 2 года назад

I have a tip for chopping big rounds. Go for the outside edges, 2 1/2- 3" from the live edge, and work your way around it. the round is weaker there, once that's been done the rest will be easy. give it a try. too much strength in the round to go straight for the middle. It's an old guy trick, 59 years old, nice double- bladed axe by the way. Great job once again!

@Judy.LoveandLightAlways 3 года назад

Brilliant Video Thank you Ariel and Eric, that's so weird having flies in the cabin in the cold conditions, here in Victoria, Australia when winter comes no flies, Yay, I'm only happy in Winter.. As much as I adore the snow, I'm really looking forward to you installing that new fireplace, It looks like the brother of the one at your other cabin. OMG @18:34 Ariel with "bo" so Beautiful, Ariel you looked like an Angel in that light. I didn't want this video to end. Omg the ending that beautiful music it was like the little cabin was saying "please don't leave me" Kind thoughts and hug's too you both from Australia... "Bandit" "Bo" "pepper" "😇🐈 Hunter" "chickens" 😬🤷‍♀️♥️

You will need some poly sealant, 2 Tubes 1) at the silicone penetration flashing under the flashing to the roof, 3) at the top of the silicone / rubber boot, between the pipe and the boot, 4) and then put some sealant over the rain deflector.

You guys do a good job cooking on the stove. My mom use to bake bread on top of a wood stove, believe it or not! She had a home made topper that she would put over the bread on top of the stove. Anyway, it was genius, and she cooked home made bread on top of the stove without burning it.
