I really love that Bo and Bandit go on almost all your adventures .

AMAZING videos!!! I'm 67, remember my great grandmothers doing some of these things. My 2nd favorite thing to do is watch your videos!! Great that you are so young, humble, hard workers & just so appreciative of all the blessings & abundance you have! God bless you. Binge watching...🙏❤🙏 Fl👵😎

Love how you respect the animals by using all of it. Thank you for the great videos.

And for anyone that reads these other than the host... yes... Living a life style. It is how we as a nation used to live. Homesteader, Trappers, Guides, Farmers, Ranchers, even Loggers and miners too to some extent were life styles not just "jobs" You took care of most of your own needs and what WE all need mostly is food. Followed by shelter. Blessed be the host to show the world through this medium that most anyone can do it, even today, if you will put in effort. I am actively moving away from the city and to more "taking care of myself". To anyone thinking about it let these people be your inspiration.

It is really refreshing to watch you two cook and grow your own food stock and canning. I would love to do that but my wife would never touch it . I am 86 so I should have did it 65 years ago. But thanks for your great videos and allowing me to go along. God Bless you!

When my wife was alive we went fishing together all the time and I have to say those are some really great times

I have been watching your videos in chronological order (obviously just saw this one 😆) and it's really the best Alaskan reality show since "The Last Alaskans" :D. Hope you guys keep enjoying the lifestyle you just described and hope you keep sharing your adventures with us !

I'm pleasantly speachless and humbled by you two. What an amazing life you have. Not a moment wasted!! Its quite admirable. Wish I was younger and could handle this lifestyle. But I'm happy living vicariously through watching you do it!!! I've been binge watching all your episodes and hardly sleeping lol

Life evolves around people and food. It’s very appropriate to gather with people to grow, hunt, fish, and prepare food as a daily ritual.

Your fishing videos are some of my favorites. I used to go fishing a lot as a kid, with my grandpa, and they were the best moments of my life.

Love the drone footage. God made some beautiful places when he made Alaska!

I watch as many of your videos as I can! Can't wait from week to week to see what y'all are going to be doing , hunting ,fishing and canning / preserving. Great job and you do great at explaining what you are doing and the measurements and ingredients. Thanks !

You guys really made the right choice on that kind of lifestyle while many of us can't because of some limited resources.

I know you two work so hard to have your homestead, but I somewhat envy the simpleness of your life. I love Alaska.

Moving kenai next spring, you guys live the way I plan on eventually, it’s super inspiring to see two regular people making it work out there

Great job/life you're doing there! Didn't read all the comments, it may have been mentioned, but I have big concerns about cooking on galvanized metal (warming bread on galvanized hailscreen) rack, not only for the Zinc burning off and smoking into the food, but the Lead that the strands of wire are soldered together with incinerating. Zinc melts at about 600F and vaporizes @ 1,500F. Lead melts about 350F and vaporizes @ 620F. Both are considered heavy metals, lead more than Zinc. Just an idea, check with mining/gravel plants in area, they always have 'burnt out' screens from the shakers, where dirt/gravel 'burn' a hole in screen where it impacts off the conveyor, but rest of screen is OK... About all they are good for now is scrap price by weight. When I worked at the mine we had stacks of old worn out screens. If you luck out you might find a stainless steel screen! I have several 18' x 24' stainless cooking grates with 1/8" to 1" openings. . Heavy wire ones for pots/pans and finer screens for grilling. Got snazzy and screwed metal around the edges so they wouldn't warp and they have held up well for over 20 years now. Make a couple depending on the size you're cooking for. The small pieces left over make great smoker racks, critter vents, etc, just cut to size.

Loved the intro - purple flowers with mountains in background. Nothing odd at all about the ways you’re using up the fish. I think that’s a big part of going off grid, or homesteading … nothing goes to waste.

I think people who put thumbs down are vegetarian. We just discover your channel, and enjoying very much. Thank you for taking us with you on this trip, even if its virtually. May be one day we will meet. We plan to visit AK.

What you say about the food makes so much sense. Spend your energy on what matters most. You COULD harvest your own salt for instance... but WHY? Putting up a high volume of fish is a better use of time & energy. Protein is pricy... focus on that. Its all about making wise choices. You guys have the right idea.

Fishermen share their stories so let me share mine with you. When I went to Alaska, I too went on the Kenai Pennisula, all the way to Homer. There I caught the limit of three halibut and a silver. I was thrilled, believing my husband, may he RIP, hooked the Silver for me! Anyways, I filleted the fish and caught attention. It was a half day trip, totally worth it. Just in case you get to Kodiak, ( I took the ferry), you can get the largest heaviest halibut without even getting on a boat. The spot ( I'm sure it's well known) is lined with sawdust, a mill once existed there and catching the fish is just heavy lifting, no fight. But very good. When halibut are smaller, they are tastier. I hope to go back someday, maybe I can get to the Russian River. But I have to say, I love halibut.

Oh cool. I worked at the Russian River Ferry in the summer of 2010. Alaska has fantastic fishing!

This video really brought back the memories and I thank you. There is no finer eating than a freshly caught salmon or halibut or king crab but the fun has been taken away by all the tourists that have taken over the rivers on the Kenai and literally fished them out. Your being a new resident, I am sure you will see this in time but don't let that ruin your joy of doing what you like to do and going for the food you like to eat. I would not take for my experiences in Alaska and had it not been for the oil pipeline boom, I would still be there. Though I still have many of your videos to see, you are allowing me to relive a time that I hold dearest to my heart, I just hope you don't mind me making references to that period. Take care and stay safe!

You two are awesome. Love watching your next adventure.

Nice video guys. I enjoy your videos a lot. More power to you guys.

This is life. Love it.

Love the intro guys. What a great trip. Glad to see you guys bringing home some fish. Really enjoyed the video and your conversation. Life is good. ❤️😁

Thanks for all of your videos enjoy them so much

You guys have an awesome outlook on life. Thanks for sharing.

Love the Russian River. Those stairs leading to the bank weren’t there when I was a kid but the hike was always fun!

Really enjoyed this video! I'm not a hunter or Fisher person! But truly appreciate your lifestyle! I am a 66 year old woman with M.S. so can't see that in my future! Very jealous! I pray for you to enjoy every moment!

I seriously enjoy watching you 2. You get it, and it shows. Keep on keeping on!

Love your fishing trips. When are you going to have a family, besides Bo and Bandit and 2 cats. You two would make awesome parents.

Such beautiful scenery.

Your love of food and all its aspects (gathering, preparing, conserving and ofc eating...) really shows in all of your videos!

You both are amazing. You have a great life style. Passion is everything all.

I love to watch some of your videos just for the scenery!! You make me want to visit Alaska!!

So glad I found your channel. I am retired and disabled and like all things Alaskan. I live vicariously through you. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for sharing your lives with us, God bless

Nice trip, thanks for taking us along to see the beautiful scenery. Happy you were pleased with your catch and supper looked amazing! Enjoy and have a relaxing evening.

You are my new idols 🙂 rolemodels how to spend our time on earth and really make it happen! Good job!

That was a wonderful trip and it was nice to catch up with your gardens. Wow! Lots of work for you but the garden looked abundant. Enjoyed your video, thanks.

Yup that's what we called it to remember going thru there when in soldotna.

The Kenai Peninsula is my favorite place on this earth! I lived a few years in Hope as a small child, best memories. Love seeing your footage.

Rootin you guys on and enjoying all your progress.!!

Yay!! My dogs are happy to see ur dogs!! That was a great video!! Cheers from Arkansas!!

You guys are doing a fantastic job on your videos. Very humble and unassuming. A pleasure to watch!

Hi , that looked like a great couple days. Nice to be able to supply everything in a meal. Looked awesome.

wow ur garden looks amazing already.

I've done the drive from Seward to anchorage, beautiful country.All that sunlight is making your garden grow awesome!😀

I must say you both have a nice set here lovely home and fresh food

I very much enjoy your "catch and cook" trips!

I love the way you two love and respect each other. No cussing, or fussing. I love your show.Do your parents ever come for a visit?

You got it. Good job. Fish, Fish, fish.

your vids and lifestyle are awesome !! and yes love the dogs too !

OMG! what a lovely supper. A trick i learned from a Japanese chef.. a cultural norm is to salt fish prior to cooking at least 10 minutes but even 30 or more. I firms the flesh.

Go forward..the past is a memory use your talents, you gots of them. You guys are eating like kings and queens. Proud of you two.

Wonderful couple!

Working for your own food is not always easy but it's SO worth it. I always have a garden at home and it's so important to me to have that and not be too reliant on store bought stuff when it comes to vegetables and fruit. Many people look down on it, or look at it like it's a quirky hobby. But then it's good to remember that this is how people USED to live (raising animals, growing food, foraging) - before commerce ruined our perspective on things.

I loved your video, it's a really beautiful place you guys live in. ❤ the road trip had cool places and was very soothing to watch.

A lot of beautiful scenery enjoyed this video very much. Great fishing.

The scenery there is amazing..!! I can feel how excited you two are. So cool.. keep that knife close to cut off them waiters if you fall in.. what a fun day..!! Wow broke a pole. Combat fishing...... Oh my heck that place was packed..!! Nothing like fishing close though. Ingredients from the garden, yes please. Oh your plants are looking awesome !! A cold smoker. I did save the hearts kidneys and liver from the rabbits for Bigalow. He loves it.. Fresh food is humbling. Just love your channel. Have a fantastic night you two..!!

I am impressed by your broad knowledge of homestead as well as DIY ... It would be very instructive to get your 10 takeaways for someone without any specific background to start his/her homestead project and live off-grid. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and being inspirational!

So beautiful. It was wild seeing that road south of Anchorage...we've been on it so many times.

Excellent video, the food looked amazing well done.

Such a amazing blue! I would love to be there

Love you guys

Hi new subscriber here i am so fascinated with Alaska and people like you living off the grid, my dream life.

Beautiful country

That is already a bountiful garden! I just watched where you planted a few daze ago hehe..Y'all have green thumbs!

You guys awesome

Love being on the Peninsula, some of the prettiest country you’ll ever see! Love eating reds, but have to say nothing better than fishing for silvers other than king’s because there so big. 10 hours is a long hard day of fishing! You gotta love those long summer days!

One of my favorite places to fish. Awesome video! #fishingfrienzy #lovefishing

I'm super pumped you had a good day fishing!! I knew, no matter what, it was going to be a good day. Just to get away with your dogs after day upon day of a lot of hard work was going to be a well deserved mini vacation. Then to get 8 nice fish made it even better! Your dinner, once again, looked so delicious.

I have said this before but I will again, your garden by far is my favorite! you have so much abundance there! I just love it! thanks for all the great tips and man o man, I wished I had a plate there at the end cuz that dinner looked awesome! =)

you are like two “masters” of all Alaska

That cute cat can’t wait for a piece of the salmon.

Debra love watching you guys

Good fish haul. Yum!

Pure Beauty ! :-) Thanks

So beautiful!

I love your channel- just found it on suggested. Alaska looks beautiful. We are in wisconsin and drive up to the upper peninsula Michigan (we have a house there) and I love trying to trout/salmon fish. I have yet to catch one 😂. I always loved how it stayed light up there during the summer until like 1030pm

Guys you have an interesting and diverse life!

great place you guys got!! Awesome fishing too. Hard to beat fresh salmon.

found your channel somehow & so glad I did. as for a smokehouse I have used sticks sat up as a T.P. and I used wire for my racks & a regular trap to wrap around it works great & cost was the trap can't beat that. good luck on however you'll do yours

Enjoy everything about your show. Aloha from Hawaii

Concerning fuel for canning there are some really good ideas for a rocket-stove that will handle canning operations...might watch The Boss of The Swamp.

Superb!!!

👍😁Travel videos 😁👍 thanks for sharing and your hard work 😁👍🤗

Well you are young and no kids yet so it's alot easier I personally enjoy watching you guys

Well you can be into getting food or you can be into being hungry and hunger is a massive motivator. :)

grate channel you guys have . just found it and will be watching all your vids.. great job! thanks from New Hampshire

I just saw your videos yesterday and I’m lovin’ you guys! Godbless u both!

Great catch!👏🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

Y'all sure have an eye for beauty loved the video of the road trip

You guys make really great videos some of the best on youtube Well done from the UK

The state of Alaska needs to pay you to promote the state....beautiful where you live.

aww your kitty is soooooo cute!

I would have to say this is the best drive in Alaska...turnagain arm to Seward is an awesome drive. Took some awesome pictures along the way. BTW...your good dog/cat parents. All that good food you give to your animals is as good for them as for you. thanks for sharing your lives with us. :)

Keep posting.. like your show very much...😘😘😘

Great video and I appreciate the frugal nature of it. FWIW, you can drive to Whittier or your closest sea side community and make your own sea salt👍 Me and my kiddos practice nose to tail utilization of fish and game, from salmon lovers and hearts to Moose tongue and nose, it’s all good and great to see fellow Alaskans taking advantage of our natural resources👍
