An ENTIRE Winter Off Grid | Everyday Challenges Living in Alaska
Рет қаралды 445,394
Each year we brave yet another Alaskan winter, this particular season we anticipated new issues knowing we were going to experience the coldest temperatures we have ever seen. We set out to document what problems would arise and without fail things stopped working requiring us to rise to the occasion of each challenge. Although the snowy and frosted landscape can be wickedly beautiful, choosing to lead an off grid lifestyle during Alaska's coldest and darkest months can be physically demanding and psychologically difficult. Nonetheless, we are happy to have pulled through to the other side and we are left eagerly anticipating the arrival of break up season!
We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀
Thank you for watching and supporting our channel! 💙

Y'all it wasn't an easy winter losing Bo among many other struggles but we persevered and came through the other side. Break up season is just around the corner now. We hope you enjoy this video sharing some of our challenges this winter season, we're happy it's over and can only hope we are stronger because of it! 💜💚💙 ~ E + A

My son is a beekeeper and he said if you want any chance with your bees, you should put them in a shed/barn over winter, not with the chickens or heated, but in a shed, so you can also feed them without losing too much heat. Maybe in an extension of the quonset hut later... I'm glad you guys made it through the tough winter. Thank goodness you are both incredible tough people. Stay strong, best wishes, look forward to your summer festivities.

I've been suggesting that every year -- even in Scotland we brought the bees inside the shed out of the winds and frost, if you've got the space, why not? Just because they might survive why take the chance on the poor little things. What about an extension to the chicken shed?

Loss is not easy but we need to find joy in the future. Keep up your good work.

I imagine while the Northern Lights are dancing around, old Bo is flying amongst them having the best time. As I've said before, there are no two better people than you both when it comes to taking care of your animals & giving them the love & respect they deserve. Love you both! 💜😊

If Eric didn't have the extensive knowledge and ability to diagnosis and fix mechanical issues, and Ariel didn't have the drive, and willingness to work beside Eric, as a team, and meticulously plan for your garden and your food supplies, you couldn't make it look so easy. On top of everything you must do just to survive, you film, edit, and produce a video to share your adventures with us! Thank you for allowing us to peek into the window of your life, once a week. May you have many, many more years of good health and happiness together.

Thank you for this video, it shows the reality that life in Alaska is not always sunshine and rainbows. If someone I loved was in excruciating pain, I would want to end their pain, and I assume that's why you loved Bo enough to release him from it. The machines we've come to rely on are not made for 40 degree below zero weather, so you are adapting, and at war with the cold. You are brave souls, and every day your courage helps us motivate to get through our own struggles. Looking forward to this spring, new gardens, and nicer weather!

Bo KNEW! (He was a wise old soul. Missing that boy with you) Bandit's ready! Pepper be like: "Iz kold gis lukin out de windo." For the 20 winters I spent in Alaska, 10 of which were in the Arctic, the darkness was what was the hardest part for me. Sure, the cold was brutal, but that lack of sunlight takes its toll on your mood, especially WAY up north when the sun sets in November and doesn't come back up until March. It's good to hear that Bandit's bouncing back from losing his pal.

Living in Alaska is never going to be easy, but you both shined through with integrity and honor. Have been missing the Old Man and know he lived one amazing life. Once again will say just how proud I am if you both. Prayers and love sent y'all's way and looking forward to the next video. Take care and have a blessed evening. ❤️🍀 Blessings, Teresa 🦉
