Clearing the Path at the New Cabin | We Move In!
After our long road trip to Oregon and back we felt the weather was right to make the big move to our new home. With plenty of work to be done at the new property, we jump right in and get started removing snow around the yard and unpacking.
We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀
Thank you for watching and supporting our channel! 💙

With the amount of snow you get up there, it may be a good idea to invest in some snow chains for the tractor. It'll certainly make a difference when pushing the plow. Looking forward to see what you have in store for this new property.
I think the fluid filled tires Eric mentioned are how a lot of people handle lifting and pushing increases.
@@duanechadwick331think about sub freezing temps.
I agree that chains would be great.
A word to the wise on the backhoe. If you are not using the hoe, pin it with both of the pins. Less likely to damage the hoe or other property. Likewise, trying to hydraulicly moving the hoe without removing the pins will likely damage the pins. I know that buying my Branson was one of the best things I have done for myself and those friends that I have been able to help with it. Just today my neighbor again thanked me for moving six yards of gravel for him last fall. Be cautious about getting water or ice into the loader control lever assembly. It can break if you try to force it when frozen. Damage to the rubber boot allows moisture to enter the assembly. Packing the parts inside of the boot with grease helps to protect against ice accumulation. Enjoy your new toy.
Thank you!
I would add to that, when it’s this cold out engines and hydraulics like to warm up a few minutes. Maybe you did and edited that out, but setting the throttle on a fast idle, maybe 1000 rpm for 5 minutes will add many hours of life to a diesel (& even gas) engine. I realize you were also racing daylight, I always am too!
Was about to suggest the same thing.
Looking good so far guys! Lots of work to do , you both will eventually get it done! So glad you’re keeping the chickens and the bees! Can’t wait to see the cat again also! Enjoy, love you both!❤
Just wanted to give you a safety tip. I grew up around tractors on the farm, never crank a tractor standing on ground! Many accident has happened that way. Just a tip from an old folk 😉
I am 82 years old. When I see the drive and energy you display in getting objectives accomplished, I just watch in utter amazement ho you appear to go seemingly non-stop. I know you stop to eat, to drink a coffee, but you do that standing. But at least you get the areas clean of snow to be able to move around and be able to store things at the right place, no use moving things twice! Congratulations on what you achieve, including getting the tractor. On the way doing that you almost drove past the house where I live, right in Chilliwalk, BC. I very much enjoy your videos, and thank you for sharing your experiences!
Wow, Eric and Arielle! Moving on the heels of that trip to get the Branson! You both are phenomenal! I am amazed continually by what you both accomplish in a day! I'm looking forward to seeing what this property helps you achieve! The coal furnace/stove is a beauty! Peppercorn, the chickens and bees will surely enjoy their new home! The boys will definitely appreciate the settling in, I'm sure. Congratulations on your new property! Your videography skills and editing are a talent in itself! Thank you for taking us all along!
The amount of work you guys do is mind blowing.. it's never ending but you are always up for the task.. incredible!
They don't have kids
@@rainbelledrops1858 and they make a killing on KZhead. This is their jobs
If you are referring to the “boys”, means the 2 🐕 🐕!
When you have an abundance of funds you would be surprised what you can do!
All the time I've been watching you guys, I've never heard you tear each other down. That's truly unique. ❤❤
I'm sure they have a wonderful relationship but you only get to see 30 minutes of their day. It's a video so you can add and take away whatever you like.
Yay for the chickens! I’m glad you found a way. Good luck!
I love watching their chickens...they're beautiful.
Eric=Mr. I fix anything #BringIt !!!
Y’all are an awesome couple never have we heard this or that on put downs y’all both have jobs to accomplish but I notice Erik is a real gentleman and Errol is a real lady
I’m a little sad you have left the old property 🥲 but looking forward to all the new adventures. Hope Beau and Bandit enjoy their new home. Happy Easter!
As a Swede Who lives in a country that is 2/3 arctic so i like the video. It's like being at home. North part of Sweden and Norway (Scandinavia) has winter 9 months a year. The snow depth is in some places 3 meters (9ft 10). The temperature can drop to -45° C (-49° F). Wonderful to see people who live like we do. Thanks for the upload.
some see a flat tire... but really... "free bolt!"
It is always so nice to see how you deal with setbacks. Unless there is more off camera your "well that just happened let's deal with it" attitude is such a blessing to watch. Thank you.
So exciting to move to your new home and hitting 700K this summer ! I hope the animals adjust in time and you two take such good care of them they will calm down.
Congratulations on a safe trip back home to Alaska and your new property
Gotta admit I’ll be sad not seeing the old property. However, I’m SO excited for the new chapter! Watching Arielle start organizing the jars makes me happy! Lastly.. y’all be sure to take a rest soon, ok?💕
You have more toys than I do, and I'm 60 years old ! 😅 I love the backhoe you bought ! You've wasted no time putting it to good use ! I love watching all your video's ! 🥰
“Everyone’s stuck!” Bandit…ZOOM! 😂
Your backhoe attachment should have a locking pin which will keep the boom from swinging left or right during normal tractor use. The boom and bucket should be in the fully retracted (up) position when not in use. You should've also gotten 3 point attachment hardware for using 3 point attachments. Removing the backhoe takes practice. I keep my backhoe stored in my barn on concrete with plywood under the bucket.
Thanks Eric & Arielle! Love tagging along on your new challenge. It's another phase in life to be exited about, scary or not. We are approaching another phase too 😉 it's so exciting, invigorating, and look forward to what each day will challenge us with. Thanks again for sharing...LOVE YOU GUYS 🥰 ( from SW Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 )
I couldn't have said it better myself! I, too, am coming up to a new phase this year, moving 1600 km across the country
Hi, where in SW Ontario? Happy Easter from Oakville.
A man loves his toy's ....!!! Remember tire is only flat on bottom ,LOL ..
You should see the glorious toe fuzz my Goldens grow! It’s wonderful! I love their Grinchy Toes!
You know ya love this channel when you are watching another video n see yal and click on over 😂❤❤❤
A rear mount snowblower would be nice on that new tractor
I’m constantly amazed at the knowledge you both have! Eric with his ability to put together a heater, troubleshoot a generator and change break pads on the fly…Arielle whipping up homemade noodles and breads. The veggies you grow are flawless. Don’t forget to retrieve that beautiful soil when the snow is gone.
My English Springer Spaniel had long fur between the toes. It's to protect the pads. Here in Scottsdale AZ, she needed it for the hot days walking if we ran out of grass. I'd freak if the groomer forgot, & cut it all off. Ugh. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh I know you guys have a ton of work to do getting your new place like you want it… but I’m excited for you.. how cool is that having moose in your yard 👍🏻 I know your going to be glad that you kept your chickens too.. happy, happy ,happy for your guys
Probably the first YT’ers with a “Watch Moose” , protect them from bad things….slumming for free food (I’m trolling as I have know idea if Moose are that way at all)
Happy Easter!! what kind of shop are you going to have
Looking forward to seeing the layout of your land without all the snow. It’s been raining and cold for two days here in the South. I’m sure my cold would be your heatwave 🤣. Hope y’all have a wonderful Easter weekend! Take care and God bless! 😀❤️
Eric, please consider building a ramp for your dogs to get up on the porch. I think they will appreciate it.
The beauty of cabinets is less visual mess, but you need a specific place things go, or you spend more time searching.
Woke up here in the UK and it's Easter Sunday morning and saw this Easter video gift from you. Thank you Ariel and Eric, better than any chocolate egg! A new Alaskan beginning for you both and not forgetting Bo and Bandit.
Yay! You're in your new cabin! Love your love for each other , your teamwork and can do attitude, and your love of adventure. Bring them chickens home😊
I like your channel because it is real not put on i love the cooking the fishing and showing your life thank you
You two amaze me. You aren't moving simple household items. You're moving big stuff. Heavy stuff. Lots of stuff.
So happy and excited for you as you begin this next chapter. Best wishes and enjoy the ride!
Really happy for your new place. The thing I notice immediate is space, space, and more space. What a great beginning for a homestead. That snow plow blade did a remarkable job of clearing & piling the snow too.
You guys are awasome
Your problem solving skills never ceases to amaze me, as well as the research you do when acquiring a new piece of equipment. I love how people in the know give you advise. What a great online community you have.
Snow clearing with your tractor is going to be a blast now after all your years of using a snow blower and shovel lol
I never commented before but wanted to mention two things: First, congrats on moving in - you both must be so excited; and lastly so cool to hear you purchased from DS Stoves, Gordonville, PA - the area that I was born and raised. I hope the DS Energy Max 160 serves you well in the shop, Eric. Please update us on its performance later. :)
Thank you so much!! We will keep you posted ;)
🎉🎉🎉 CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉🎉 ON REACHING 700,000 SUBSCRIBERS TO YOUR AWESOME CHANNEL @SIMPLE LIVING ALASKA ERIC + ARIELLE, BO & BANDIT, KITTY AND THE HENS🐾🐕🐶🐅🐆🐈🐱🐔🐣🐥
That new tractor is so badass. For the next 3 months, any time a problem arises, the first question is always going to be, "how can we solve this with the new tractor" hahaha
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH!!!🎉🎉🎉 Moving is DEFINITELY hard work!!!😅😅😅 I'm glad y'all have made your move Safe and Sound!!!🙌🙌🙌 I can't wait to see all of the things that are coming!!!💯💯💯 Much Love and Prayers from FL 💖💞🌴🙏💖💞🌴🙏💖💞🌴🙏
Wow didn't expect your move so fast, but how nice just in time for maybe Spring?😊. The tractor was a good buy and makes work so much easier especially with more acreage. Can't wait for the new adventures on your new home. Once again congratulations on your new home. Be Blessed. 😊🇺🇲
you need to look at getting a set of chains for the front wheels on that tractor; it will make a big difference in how much snow you can push with a set of chains on the front wheels
Everything is coming together! In the spring when you all are ready to move the shelter logic, you could screw either spruce poles or lumber to the legs of the shelter logic and drag the shelter logic into place on the wood as skids. We attached 4x4 pressure treated skids to our shelter logic it helps keep it more ridged as well. Is your wood/coal furnace something that can heat the slab of your shop/ like radiant tubing? If so, here’s an idea… attach a greenhouse to the end of your gable shop wall and run some radiant tubes in a different thermostat zone out into your greenhouse beds, this would extend your growing season. I would first dig out an area and line the area with rigid foam on the ground and up the sides of the perimeter of your greenhouse then fill with soil, and tubes.
Wishing you all the best in your new home. Can’t wait to see all the great things you will do to it.
You guys are so inspiring. Thank you for sharing this bit of your lives with strangers around the world.
Eric is in his element 😊
Glad to see y’all making progress even with all that snow! Exciting time!
We love love love your episodes and look forward to them weekly, especially the longer shows 😊 we really appreciate you two!
What an adventure! You two are amazing, thanks for sharing your life with us!
So excited for you guys! Congratulations on the move 🎉
It's incredible how you two are able to make the drudgery of moving look fun! I really enjoy keeping up with your video's.
Wow, wow, wow. I’ve said it before, there’s nothing you two can’t do together, and with grace! Eric looks so happy with his new toy, it is a beast! , I’m happy to hear the chickens will live on too..Happy new home! Can’t wait for the next chapter video 😊
Thank you for this; sure love watching your adventures, changes and co-workings!!! I wish the very best for yous as time presents its self!!
Have a wonderful Easter you guys. Pleasure watching the progress.
Congrats on the move ...wishing you beautiful memories in the new place!!
What a beautiful Moose!
She looked like she was just about ready to drop calf
It’s so much fun following your adventures - Happy Easter!
This move is so exciting. I am so excited for you guys. What an adventure☮️❤️
You guys are amazing. Hard work and adventure are in your blood. Great new tractor
Awesomeness You all made it back to Alaska, with Tractor in tow… that’s a lot of miles.. and challenging to the body and the vehicle…
Your videos are always a treat. Thanks for making them. Super excited to watch you build your new place out.
You can do pretty much the same things with that tractor. As you could with an excavator and skid steer. It will just take longer. Just remember to take your time. God bless
Man I would have needed like a month to recover from that trip to get the tractor and here you guys are just going full steam ahead with your move! I’m loving watching the process! I’m sorry you have to wait for the snow to melt to get your shelter thing back in place.
Glad the chickens and Pepper are in the next load. Beautiful new home! Your videos are always inspiring and entertaining.
I’m super excited for you guys with the new place…congratulations!
Very exciting video! Can’t wait to watch your adventures with the new home! Thank you!
Congrats on the move to your new home. Cant wait to hear the plans, especially for a new garden. So excited to see what you will be building, loved watching the old place start as a bare patch that you grew into an awesome place with all the building work you both did. Gonna be a ton of hard work but I am certain you will make it work. Very happy for you both. Hope Beau settles soon, bless him. Stay safe xx
Oh, how exciting! I wasn't expecting a "moving" video. I am re-living my younger days when I watch you. The memories my husband and I made are wonderful. You will always cherish your memories as well. Thank you so very much for sharing your life with us. We love every video. Can't wait for your next one. God bless you both!
Congratulations again on this new chapter of your adventure 🎉I’m always cheering you on!
Wanting to see more it would be great! Love the adventure, love your adventures.
Keep up the great work❤
Wow, Congratulations on moving into your new place! That tractor is way cool. Hoping both the pups and all your other animals will grow to love the new, much bigger space. Blessings and Happy Easter 🐾🐾🙏💜🌎☮️🌎💜🙏🐾🐾
You guys are awesome! I’m so excited to be apart of your new journey. Can’t wait to see your dreams come true on your new property
So excited to see this new start and thank you for sharing it with us
I am so happy for you both! ❤❤❤❤

Best wishes in you new home. I look forward to your videos and enjoy your adventures!
I’m so happy for y’all and y’all new adventure 😊😊

Awesome good job guys!!! Happy Easter!!
This is so exciting I can't wait to see what yall do with the property
Happy Easter. Can't wait to watch later tonight
How exciting a new place to setup! I totally understand the work you all have to do, we’re getting a pod to put our things in temporarily while we get new hard wood floors in, it’s a lot of packing up ugh! Best wishes in your new place, lots of new memories we get to see! It was cool seeing the moose in your yard. I’ll stick with the deer 🦌 in mine lol. Awesome video! Thank you!
That tractor will be a game changer. Although you will need a 3pt snow blower and a block heater!
Right on!Happy for you guys that you have a nicer cabin!
Love the new tractor! They're expensive but so worth it! Also the animals will adjust to the new place soon! So happy for y'all!!!
Good morning to both of you and it’s Easter Day here in the Philippines ❤❤❤
I am so proud of you guys. I can't wait to see what's the up coming of the property. I am so excited!!!!
Thanks for taking us! Enjoyed watching the new tractor working!
Congratulations on the big move! Do y’all know the neighbor situation? Do you have any? How close is their main structure? Do the have kids? Etc…I’m feeling nostalgic for the original homestead already. You both put in so much backbreaking work just to start over again. A work shop is a must on an off grid property and now you finally have one! The tractor is perfect for the size of your property. Be well and stay safe, Doc✌🏼
Won’t it be nice when you get the last of your things up to the new place? 🤗 I know there is an urgency to ‘get it done’, so I am praying for strength, health & good wisdom in all the decisions you’ll be making ahead. Best wishes for the future, love following your adventures & just your ‘everyday life’! You both amaze me!💪
Happy Easter! You are brave and strong in your adventures. Wish you both good health.😀
Good job ! All the very best wishes to you both and the Houndies. New place looks tops.
Looking for something to watch and you guys drop a new episode! 😎👍
Eric is so proud of his new tractor. But I am proud of you Arielle for driving it too.
I'm so excited for you guys! What a wonderful, new adventure and new chapter of your lives! Congrats on the move!
Hello from the U.P. Michigan. 👋 Just got another foot of snow a week ago. Pretty sure you are warmer than we are. Have 2 gallons of maple syrup finished so far for the season so that's, that. 😆
You always look like you're having so much fun with life! I'm happy you have a new, larger home. I am also always struck (impressed) by the amount of vehicles, machinery, equipment (large and small) needed for an off-grid life in Alaska. We have a vacation home isolated in the forest on a large lake in northern Minnesota which has been in the family for 100 years and has always seemed remote. Maybe it was when I was a kid in the 50s, but now a plowed road is closer, we were connected to on-grid electricity 30 years ago (still frequent blackouts with every storm but usually fixed within 24 hours), our water and plumbing is reliable, and 50% of the time we have mobile phone connection, so it is not anything like your situation.
