A Day at the Cabin | Life in Alaska

The long daylight hours and melting snow signify spring break up in Alaska. We tend to the flock, transplant seedlings in the high tunnel and happily welcome the change of season by falling a dead spruce tree for a relaxing campfire and home cooked meal.

We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀

Thank you for watching and supporting our channel! 💙

This is exactly why Youtube content creators should ditch clickbait and just deliver quality content - wow.

thought for a minute the fish tasted like "crap". i really love this channel. no hype. just a likable couple going about their lives maintaining their essentials off grid. no gimmicks. no leggings ass shots. no crazy projects. Eric and Arielle are basically trying to somehow hoard food most of the time.

It’s okay Bandit, I get that excited for food too 😂

[jeccalou]

If you guys made a cookbook with the recipes of stuff you make on the show, like the eggs benedict one, I would buy it. Even for the meals where you use special ingredients like moose meat, the cook could substitute whatever they have access to.

You're so beautiful couple.. I even showed your videos to my mom.. This is the kind of life that I always dreamt of.. Greetings from Algeria

I teared up watching this video, it has to be one of my favorite, To see that it is possible that someone is living life how it should be makes me happy.

This channel has brought me so much peace and I can't help but look back at where I was just a few months ago prior to finding your channel - I hated my life, I felt sucked living in a rural cottage that my mom left me, I was so unhappy and ashamed but everything when I found this channel .Truly, nothing is without purpose .🌱☀️
Thank you for inspiring me to share my own journey, it's the best gift. 😢🌈

You guys give an old man comfort, many thanks.

[tobiaspatterson]

Seeing your videos pop up is the highlight of my day. Thank you for all you do

[tjo]

I think I can't speak for everybody when I say we love you

[AcreHomestead]

Thank you so much for trying the lion mane mushroom kit. I’m so, so happy you enjoyed it. We’re so proud of you two!

I love how excited Bandit is to get his food😂

[sngbird]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the chickens 🐔, but your rooster 🐓 is ALL THAT!!🐣🐣🐣🐣❤

You know how I always comment on you guys being gourmet chefs? You just went over the top with your outdoor kitchen and the beauty that you are blessed with!

[pippabolton]

I forget to comment but I really love you both. I have been a subscriber for over a year and it's been amazing watching you guys develop as storytellers. You work so hard. You're partnership, your dogs, your delicious looking food. It's just amazing! Thank you ❤️

[interestedobserver]

You two are so damn creative with your food prep. Everything you make looks delicious. And you make it seem effortless even though you do everything from scratch. Your channel could just as easily be about "gourmet back to basics" cooking as it is about life in Alaska generally.

This is my new favorite YouTube “show.” It holds my interest, and makes me want to see more. Have a safe and prosperous spring and summer.

[janetpaulsen]

I know I say this over and over but yours is the best channel I watch. Photography is outstanding, your cooking is beyond gourmet, watching your “day in the life” content satisfies my need for adventure. I could say much more....but you get the idea.

[markscrim]

Eric, I really liked your hand of assistance with Arial as she joined you for dinner. Marvelous looking meal. Your love for each other is a gift. Take care of it and it will last you a lifetime. Well done. 😍

Fantastic video! I love when you include the sunrise, sunset and temperature info. Getting ready for a bit of snow in Kentucky tonight.

My mouth was watering so bad for that fry bread.
