Winter Came Early | Life Off Grid | Alaska 2022 Calendar
With the early arrival of winter this year button up late minute seasonal chores in the garden and around the cabin. Fall is an excellent time for small game hunting, we use the recent snowfall to our advantage and harvest our first Alaskan Ptarmigan.

1 is ordered to Norway :)
And just last week I was wondering if there would be a 2022 calendar. You live in such a beautiful area and I often find myself daydreaming in my office cube looking at the Alaskan landscapes.
I was going to order one but need it to be Monday to Sunday for my rota or else I will be confused. I might just order it for the photos though! Fab video as always 👍
Are holidays moon phases Etc printed on your calendar?
Got mine! Thanks!
I think if a husband and wife had to stop running in different directions and worked together to accomplish a common goal, marriages would last. I love how y’all communicate and work together for the life you want. Thank you for sharing your life with us
AMEN to that!
I read somewhere a quote that said “in marriage it’s not you against me it’s us against the problem”. I think a lot of people forget that
The way God intended
These to are a great team and by the looks of the different things they get into there's nothing that can benefit you better than a partner like either one of them.......I love how they get things done as a team they are super safishant
Wow what wisdom!
I am a lifelong Alaskan and am an Alaskan Native, it is amazing seeing you represent our state so accurately. It is a lot of hard work to live off the land, but incredibly rewarding.
Well said!!! John 3:16 🙏♥️🙏☝️👵
You two were made for each other don't stop with your homestead, it gives me such fond memories of my youth , may you always be healthy, wealthy, and wise T
What Ai love about your channels there's no clickbait, no dram, just hard work cooperation, and harvest. I envy your veggie garden. You make it look simple, but it isn't.
It's so sweet to see you two standing there, sipping delicious coffee while you discuss the next thing you want to do with the garden. Many more married couples need to learn how to enjoy being together again. ❤
Amen!
Best comment!!🥇
🤍Commented what I was thinking🥰
Hi Arielle and Eric, Since I discovered your channel a few monthes ago, I watched all your videos from the very first one a bit more than 3 years ago. I live in the center of Paris, France, and my life couldn’t be more different from yours ;-) I love the way you share it, your simplicity, your relationtionship with nature. Your videos represent a lot of work and I’m very grateful that you decided to do it ! It feels really good to see the way you chose to live, and I’m very impressed by all you acomplished already ! Thanks a lot for all this, I’m really grateful !
When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent. "Arab uprising will spark global unrest - Italy will trigger fall out." "Many events, including ecological upheavals, wars, the schism in My Church on Earth, the dictatorships in each of your nations - bound as one, at its very core - will all take place at the same time." The Book of Truth.
@@johnfran3218 just here for some gardening fella
You would love Alaska, it is incredibly beautiful.
I am born and raised in Los Angeles and have only lived in huge cities- London, Boston, NYC and LA. I feel as though their work ethic and perspective on life is so universal that us “city people” feel compelled to follow their journey. I agree. They are the best!
@@johnfran3218 stop bible bashing and also like @Chappperst said we are here for the gardening
I Love how relatable y'all have stayed even after gaining such a big following. So many people i used to enjoy watching now live on land so big and do things much more complex than what 95% of us can do
And they haven't pandered for views- there's never been a shot of Arielle's butt in a swimsuit or any other nonsense. Nor have they pushed their merchandise on us.
@@Kiki-D-Kimono Just her frozen hair in the warm waters!!!🙏♥️🙏☝️😂😂😂❤ it❣❣ 💞Eric n Arielle💞
@@Kiki-D-Kimono this. There is no fake religious messaging, no politics, no selling or advertising or sponsored content, no reminders to like and subscribe, no click bait, no sexualising of them, no faked content for the viewers. This is their lives and they are gifting us a little view of it. It is real and heart warming and sincere. Which in the current times is rare and should be valued.
@@Kiki-D-Kimono this… so refreshing that there is no clickbait like other videos in this genre
Whatever you do, please don't ever change your ways. Your videos bring so much peace.
Whenever I’ve had a tough day I say to my husband ‘I’m off to Alaska for a bit’, he knows I am watching old episode from your fishing trips. Your happy place makes me happy. Thank you for letting us share your lives.
Couldn’t agree more. I love rewatching them, it’s a nice place to be for a while. The “building stuff” videos are my favourite. I’m really hoping I come back as some kind of carpenter on my next life.
GOLD PRICE WILL RISE TO 2100$/OZ IN THIS NOVEMBER 21.
I can't believe I am watching something happening in ALASKA that is part of my childhood memories being raised on a town supply dairy farm on the outskirts of Dunedin , Sth Is. NZ. My dad would drive the huge dmp truck into the distillery in Dunedin and park under the hopper that would pour out the spent barley to fill the truck. With it backed up to a hole in the wall all the "grains" as we called it was shovelled by Dad and my older siblings into a huge empty concrete stall and morning and night at milking time every cow would get a bucket of grains to munch on as she was milked. My gosh.... that's like 55yrs ago. Thankyou for the avalanche of memories you've brought back such a vengeance ...I can even smell them again!!!!! Who would have thought a hard working couple in 2021 Alaska would invoke such cherished memories. You are extremely diligent in your daily living which is how I grew up. I love living vicariously thru you as I'm now a broken body living in pain.... it helps so much to escape into a world that is so familiar to my upbringing. God bless you both 🙏 ❤ you are such a lovely couple. I'm so glad you chose this path in life. 🤗🙏💞👏🇦🇺🙏👏🤗
Thanks for sharing this!
Heather Clay. And to SHARE it!!! and to get some $$ to do it God bless you Heather. That broken pain filled body will be all new again one day, hopefully soon!!
@@sherryllynnjones7077 Amen 🙏
Here in Wellington. The riding school used to collect the same stuff from the brewery and the horses loved it. My Dad used to feed it mixed with pellets to the pigs and it also went to the chickens.
Wellington NZ that is!
So much of this episode reminds me of my dad. My parents' house was heated with wood for many, many years so the sound of a chainsaw is very familiar. I learned to pile wood without the benefit of walls to keep the piles from falling over while the chunks dried. I went grouse hunting with him, cut wood with him, was not allowed to build fires as that was his domain. But I can smell the woodsmoke from your hearth fire and know that my dad is doing just fine wherever he is now. Maybe he's in Alaska. I think he would have liked it there. If you see him out on the trail, tell him I say hi.
It's so comforting to see two honest hardworking people living off grid. Thank you for your videos.
Great to see the hardest working couple in America in action. Also, to see all of their calm and well behaved animals. I hope 2022 brings them a 25% pay raise.
How do you think they currently get paid? It’s not rocket science… They make videos and they’re paid per view.
So that works out to approximately 125k more subs ♥️
here's what we need an SLA Cookbook with all of the Sayings Ariel'isms if you will, included with each recipe :)
And Eric can say “this is the best__________ I have ever tasted.” 💗💗💗
@@ptrdshijfffjvddf that is for sure Eric :)
Awesome idea!
me too.
A recipe book would need to include all the various bread recipes! They always look so delicious!
Video quality just keeps getting better. So many different perspectives, sights and sounds…it feels like we are there with you. You do a great service, welcoming us into your lives. We need a retreat from the world. Can’t thank you enough. Most grateful 🌻🙏🏻
The part at 17:36 the toasty fire switching to the ever so gentle falling snow, kitty speckled with snowflakes, the piano music.....the entrance of......winter......I'm sitting here crying.....yes....it is just that beautiful. Thank you so much. ❤
Southern Louisiana here! Can y’all make a 4+hour video of only y’all’s drone footage of the snowy Alaska and put soft classical music to it. I would play that on repeat during the month of December!!
And add a 4 hour vid of the fire in the wood stove!
@@sherry2836 absolutely!!!
I'm in!
My husband said your meal is absolutely as perfect as he himself would make. He wanted me to share his appreciation of not only your meal but your content. Thank you!
OMG the drone footage is breathtaking. Thank you both for sharing your world with all of us
I was so happy to see a video from y’all today. Those Brussels sprouts looked amazing. I loved seeing you work together to get things ready for winter, the wood is stocked, the chimney cleaned, wood burner spruced up and the garden laid to rest for the winter. Such a beautiful life. Oh to be young again working the land with a man. These are the days you’ll remember. Have a great week you two! 🧡🍁 🦃🌻🤎🌾🍂
angela gentry. Yes, we can have our dreams & vicarious living. . .🙏♥️🙏☝️👵😂🤗
This is the way things were done when I was growing up on the farm. Everyone helped out with the skills they had for their age. As you got older and bigger you learned new skills. The young ones of today don't seem to do that anymore. They check their computer to see how difficult it is and if they can do it instead of learning the skills themselves.
I found your channel not too long ago and lo and behold I have almost watched ALL your content! (Went on a watching binge, sorted by oldest to newest, love your stuff that much!) Sending you + your furry children so much love and best wishes from Texas. Looking forward to all your future videos - take care!
I think we all did that! Great journey isn't it!
Thank heavens for pleasures Iike this channel!
I have been following your Channel for a long time now and I am always drawn in by the life you share . The drone footage was so Peaceful and Still I am truly touched by the Glory you shared ❣
Yes, I did too 😅 Watched all the videos since their move to Alaska.
Your hard work and appreciation for all your blessings is inspiring. Thank you so much for going through all the work to share your lives and the beauty of Alaska and its creatures with us. Best wishes and prayers for you two in the coming winter.
There is no question that you have the most beautiful videos on the internet. Sharing your daily lives is such a gift for all of us. We get to see the beauty of Alaska thru your eyes. Thank you 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Yes...good hunting dogs are great hunting companions..a good nose is priceless...
What a treat to see a dog do what he's bred to do!!
Beautiful brussel sprouts :) You have given me the oomph to grow them now! I'm in New Zealand so we are just going into our growing season :)
I tried Brussels sprouts this year and got nada. I need to learn more! These guys are great and I love how they don’t have them half naked in the thumb nails to get views!
@@gracieshepardtothemax1743 So agree with you
@@rhonak7548 right! Love these guys! Nothing but respect through and through!
I have loved brussels sprouts for decades and have never seen such gorgeous stalks ! 😎 Bought two calendars, Love to you both from Florida 🌞
Shout out to Eric’s shirt for keeping this man warm so many winters!
Arielle: "Whew, that's done, now let's get to work cleaning up the carrot bed." Bo: "Did somebody say....BED?" [plops down] Eric: "Bo, get out of the carrot bed!" Heh, I think maybe winning the KZhead Couch Potato Championship this year may have gone to Bo's head just a little.😆
The production value of your videos is unreal. You create space with sound. The sound-scape is beyond my comprehension. You bring the viewer into your world with stunning cinematography. I am amazed. Am I watching a KZhead video or Stanley Kubrick?
When ever I watch your videos, I never want them to end
Oh, I just love your life! I can just imagine what a wonderful life the two of you have. May God Bless you and take care of your needs.
Great content on your channel. Keep up the good work, you're building a catalogue of practical living and showing pride in the value of hard work, intelligent planning and a way forward for future generations.
You two are simply amazing! You know your audience will always be checking on you to make sure you're OK, and you're not only much better than OK, you're teaching us how to be much better than OK!
I love that you guys end up with cooking and eating. It is heartwarming! Bundle up, right!!
no no no! leave the brussels sprouts out on the plants. Pick them from bottom to top as you consume them and remove the leaves also as you pick to sprouts. sprouts are frost resistent and actually get better/sweeter when the freeze hits them.
Sounds like someone who likes their Brussels Sprouts! Very true what you say. A highly underrated vegetable in my opinion. (Also don’t overcook them….)
I have video of my husband knee deep in snow one Nova Scotia Christmas day picking our brussells. We always left them in.
@@MountainMariner Shredded Brussels sprouts sauteed in bacon drippings, with a drizzle of maple syrup is the best way to eat them.
@@Kiki-D-Kimono exactly except you forgot a dash of parmigiana cheese…
@@MountainMariner Ohhhhh never did that, but I will try it next time! Thank you for the suggestion!
You guys are such a great team. I am also glad you took the extra time and effort for safety. You always have a lot to do when homesteading and you have no time to be injured.
Can't find any better definition of freedom than your life !
I absolutely love the way you work as a team.
So fun watching you get ready for winter in Alaska. You two are so ready. What a fantastic meal you just cooked. For me, it is going to be so fun watching you kick back by the fire reading a good book. I know you stay active all the time, with your snowmobiles, ice fishing, clearing the snow off your solar collector, and so on, but I hope there will be some time for kicking back and reading a good book, even if it is just a seed catalog, especially when it is snowing for days at a time. Don't be afraid to share that with us. That is part of the good life you are living too. Thanks.
Thems some happy scratchin chickens!!!- the beautiful furry watcher is watching in the snow❄❄❄❄!!-- 🐈🐈🐈🐈💞💞💞💞
You finished all the chores just in time. The moose meat looks so good and cooked to perfection. Sandwiches looked fabulous. Bandit did great on finding and bringing the birds back to you, he earned his keep.
Thank you for making that pause before your calendar announcement. I laughed at Eric's smirk. I'm not getting my hopes up until you start building at the other property.
That smirk had me fooled for a hot second 😆
😔
The scenery with music was spectacular! Love your videos!
Bo was so cute, lying there when you were harvesting carrots. Paws crossed, he was a gentleman of a host. Then when he started eating the carrot to put his two cents in on how good they were, priceless. The timing of the rooster crowing as Eric looked down the stove pipe, lol! I had to think for a second there! It always amazes me how much your cat looks like my Lion. yours is a bit bigger than mine, but besides that, they’re twins. And Bandit! Good boy! You guys take such good care of your pets.
Why is the sound of roots breaking from a shovel so soothing!!! Off the grid ASMR!
A garden that will feed you , feed the chickens and supply carrots for Bo is a treasure. It is a lot of hard work but there is nothing better than growing your own food. You’ve had a great harvest of produce and an over abundance of weeds! One of the best videos, loved the cinematography ♥️
I don't know you folks personally but I really love your content and both your personalities. I like to think that if we knew each other we would be good friends. 🙏 Much love to you both from Canada 🍁 Thanks for sharing your lifestyle and experiences with us all, it's truly inspiring. You can "Shuck" Ptarmigan while fresh. 🙂
I love your wonderful simple way of life.. Happiness lies in simplicity, friendliness and mutual love
Wow those drone clips are artwork. I can’t help but feel moved watching that with the music. You should get footage through the year and do a compilation video of how the landscape changes over the course of a year
Harvest season is the happiest time of the year for the chickens!
Wow, those drone shots of the first snow on the trees were beautiful ❄️
It's so nourishing seeing virtually everything you do in your day is directly related to your sustenance and personal joy. This is so completely different than the vast majority of westerners who spend their days trading their time (aka their lives) for cash doing something they don't even enjoy, to pay for strangers to watch their children and their aging parents and for groceries laced with chemical fertilizers and chemicals, and spending hours every day looking at screens while their lives fritter away... In contrast, your hours are spent outdoors in nature working to harvest your food from your garden and from the wild, building new infrastructure or working on your other property, etc. Or traveling to see beautiful places and exploring, going out to your little cabin, etc. You two have a lot of wisdom living the life the way you choose to, especially for being so young. Thank you for sharing it with all of us!
GM ☕️☕️☕️. I just love Bo (?) .. kind of dog you just want to snuggle up with 🤩. Thank you for all the arial views you include in your videos. Warms my heart & eases my longing for Alaska. Your team work gets so dang much done & makes life much easier. And love the start of a beard Eric! Living my dream thru you 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Perfect timing. Was just scrolling through the older episodes to see if we missed any!
I'm glad to see y'all have sufficient canine and feline supervision. I'm shamed by how you two just move to the next job and keep working. Thank you for another excellent video, and for sharing your love for the land and each other with us. Be well and at peace.
You guys are the best I don’t comment frequently but I’m a fan of you both, you guys are living a dream please keep indulging us with your awesome content. You guys should have a second channel of just relaxing Alaska views and pictures.
Bo is the best pup EVER!!
The drone sequence is stunning 😍 beautiful editing guys!
2:30 Beau, paws crossed, like Sir Richard Attenborough with the plummy British accent commenting on the quaint habits of the local natives. You labored to put the garden to bed, and winter pulled the white covers up.
I was very much enjoying watching his posture, too! 🐾🥰
Nothing better than giving a dog a job! Well done Bandit :) The meat looked amazing!
I see that this is two years old, but it is GORGEOUS, and I am so glad I found you!!
I love it when the fur babies help with the chores. They always make my day.
They are always so helpful hahaha
You guys are amazing! I live vicariously through you. I am chronically ill and i truly wish i could do half the things you guys do. Truly amazing and blessed. Wishing you all the best life has to offer 🙏⭐
Same here
Me to ,wish I spent more time in my garden but we all get to watch but o back pain lol.
Chim chiminey Chim chiminey Chim chim cher-ee! A sweep is as lucky As lucky can be
Your pups are living their best lives! Regal Beau protecting and watching over you. Bandit is the best pond digger and hunting dog. Just loving seeing them in their element! 💕💕 love from KS🌻
I love the sounds of harvesting the garden. Reminds me of a simpler time.
Drone shots were beautiful….love your channel
This type of living is becoming more appealing to me.
Your videos always remind me of the Aesop fable The Ant and The Grasshopper. My grandmother told that fable to me at bedtime every time I slept over at her house when I was a little child. She tried many times to tell me other stories, and she was good at other stories too. But no, it was The Ant and The Grasshopper that was the amazing story for me. She always told it by heart, and every time she added new and interesting things that the ants would do to improve their house and build up their food storage. They went foraging in the woods for all kinds of food. It still to this day brings a smile on my face thinking about those times. You two are the busy ants building new buildings and adding to your food supply and firewood supply slowly and steady, day by day. And the poor grasshopper, who had a good time during summer, playing and jumping around from joy all day long, who knows what happened to him after the first snow fell. The poor llttle guy didn't have a warm house to stay in when the cold set in, and he didn't have anything to eat when the ground was covered in snow... And I shed a few tears for the little grasshopper every time :-)
outstanding as always, calendar ordered. Arielle's photography is beautiful.
I felt entire body goosebumps during your musical drone footage. Absolutely the most lovely captures!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Sending warm hugs and love from 🇨🇦🥰
If I were 30 yrs younger Id give Alaska a try. I lived in the south til I was 30 . Then moved to the Black Hills in South Dakota. I loved it . Had a rural cabin & heated with wood. Always grew most of our food & fished all summer to stock the freezer . Ranchers in the area sold beef by the half so that kept us in burgers & steaks... But my job took me to Texas where I've been the last 25 yrs. My girls miss those yrs in SD now that they're older & I never stopped missing it... I still go back to the Black Hills every few yrs & I still believe its the best place to raise a family... But Alaska ! Now thats really living off grid. And the challenge would've suited me perfectly at a young age.. But Im 2 yrs from retirement & I doubt I could handle the work load.... Seeing the two of you working together convinces me its a paradise for the right couple.
Pepper, King of the Snow; Bo, Supervisor of all things Garden; and Bandit the Great Hunter! Y'all are the mere laborers in this whole situation! Peace ☮️ and love 💜 from Kimberly in South Dakota 💙❤️
Yes! The nature drone shots are back 🙌🏼 👌🏼
I'm so happy to see another video. I too, like many others on here, love the drone footage, but my favorite videos are the two of you cooking. I know this is going to sound stupid to the two of you, but watching the drone footage made me cry. Like I said before, I was stationed in Alaska for 7 years and I do miss it.
The chickens are having a feast of a lifetime😀🖖
You guys are so truly blessed to live the lifestyle that you do. I think it’s great that you guys are so self-sufficient. You all are some of the hardest working people that I have ever seen and that in it’s self is a trait to be highly admired. Simple Living Alaska is, by far, one of my favorite channels. Stay safe, happy, healthy and warm my friends. Looking forward to watching your next video. God Bless You All. 💜🤍🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻🤍💜
I'm a pure carnivore, but there is something so relaxing about watching you prepare and manage your garden beds. Very zen. If I was a gardener, you would be my inspiration. :-)
...looks like you were ready for the cold and snow, good one, have a great weekend...
The drone footage with the music brings tears to my eyes, it's so beautiful!
My brother and I did this when we were young, like five years old till I was 12. My grandpa always had a garden. Brings back a lot of memories, like the time I rubbed my eyes after I just picked the jalapeño’s.
What a great way to spend a Friday. Thanks for another great one.
Always a great feeling getting the garden put to bed for the year. The scenery there never gets old
We would love to see a “get to know you” or Q&A type video! We love watching you guys and feel like part of the long lost family. You always have such beautiful footage and interesting things going on! Love your channel! 💜
Way to go Bandit! If you didn't have him with you, you would still be looking for those stunningly white birds in that stunningly white snow. Put a pair of sun glasses on him. Take a picture. Put it on a tee shirt. Sell a million of them. That dog is too cool!
Love your guys life. Would trade in a minute. I know that won’t happen anytime soon. Sooo I will live it through you guys. Your videos are so relaxing too.
I'm subscribed to a few off grid sites. I was born in Anchorage and my Dad owned the General Store on the Homer Spit that burned down in 1994, which sat right next door to the Salty Dog Saloon... I'm also an Oregonian which is ironic. Have family up in Talkeetna area. Love all you do and you're both incredibly inspiring ❤❤❤
What a great way to live!!
If ANYBODY deserves your fishing and holidays you take, it is yall. I have never seen anybody work like you do, both of you... Surely you have some downtime sometime to just lie across the bed and take it easy for just awhile. You are so my heroes. God bless...
It's so hard to believe winter has already set in there. So early too. I bet the calendar is beautiful!
Love everytime you guys post drone footage. So healing. Just beautiful there. 🥰🤗
I wish people in Portugal who have bought farms there and are trying to raise food, would watch this video on enriching the soil. If you don’t have rich soil, you will not have rich vegetables. Gardening is hard work and needs attending during growing season daily. Best wishes to all gardeners.💕
Bow is my favourite KZheadr🐾
Woof ;)
Beautiful scenery as always. Take care kids! Be safe and take care!
I've been watching you guys for a long time I think you guys are wonderful people. I caught one episode not sure which one it was but I went back all the way to number one and binge-watched your whole show I always wait every week for a new show
I was reading through some of the comments and some people mention a cookbook I think that would be a great idea, because Ariel's bread and stuff looks wonderful
What a difference a day makes, snow day that is
My wife and I enjoy watching videos of you guys
You are amazing. The addition of spent barley must impart a great scent to your gardens. Do they give it away or is there a fee? You have the best fed chickens ever. Wishing you and your furry kids a blessed week. Peace
What an artistic talent in your photography and videography. You’re both talented in a vast array of fields. Thank you for sharing your time and talents with us. We appreciate all of your dedication and expertise. You’re so young and yet have old wisdom and insight. Some might say you have old souls or a real thirst for knowledge. Both cherished and admired by all. You are a blessing and inspiration. I’m truly grateful for you both and pray God’s richest blessings for your gifts to the world:)
Tracy Judd Beautifully said!!! 🙏♥️🙏🤗👵 John 3:16
I worked one single, 4 month stint in Alaska 5 years ago and fell in love. I haven’t been able to go back since but I’ve been able to cultivate bits of that life into my life here in Oregon. I love your channel and the visuals you do. They bring me great homesick joy for a place I wasn’t at long enough to call home. ❤️
