The art is insane. I would watch painting content any day

That art looks incredible, you should definitely consider selling it I feel like a lot of people watching this certainly would be interested in buying some of your works.

Cannot emphasize enough how much joy I get from this channel. One of the few I watch and never fast forward. Every second, cherished. Thanks for sharing

Homestead is looking good! Your progress is noticeable and it is a delight to see things coming together. Have you thought about building a bed frame? Sleeping on that couch can't be too good for your back, and I can't imagine it would be super comfortable.

Wild strawberries - yum. You might not think you have achieved much but you are making progress. It is wise to work at your own pace especially with annoying mozzies bothering you all day. I think your sunrises are stunning too. Hope you have a great week.

Your next project should be to build a wood shed.

Somebody get this guy a pair of gloves. Gravel and pulling weeds and hauling rocks is hard on the hands.❤

Mick, since you love painting and people in the comments seem to love your art you should think about maybe offering some for sale. You could take requests or you could choose yourself and maybe auction some off. Just a thought to mix what you love with bringing in some money to help you out there.

You are quite the artist. Love all your videos thanks for sharing

When at the gravel pit, fill your scooper before leaving. Thus a full big tote and scooper when you get home. It adds up over time. Do you have a dump that people discard unwanted items? With luck, maybe find an old red wagon or broke wheelbarrow or anything with wheels you could rehab. Wheelbarrow would be gold.

Small tip; Use a bastard file to sharpen the edge of your shovel, it will help you slice right through the Roots.. Take care, bud

That book of colorful fish is amazing...

Wheelbarrow would be nice. 😊 You left shovel by stream where you got the flowers to plant in your flower bed.

Thank you for the Awesome Video!!!👍♥️🇺🇸 It’s such an Inspiration to watch you!! Take good care and Have a Beautiful Week!!!

Mick we are pulling for you! But if you are spending the Winter there you will need to kick firewood production up a notch. I agree the place looks good but you will be bailing out in January if you cant stay warm! Think big picture or this living experiment will fail.

Mick Whipple at it again. Keep up the good work and never give up on following your dreams.

I would suggest to put some gravel just underneath the cabin that way you don't get many weeds under the edges plus it'll help get your tools outta the mud and dirt

Wild strawberries are such a treat. I grew up in WA in the woods. During the summer we would go in the woods and get huge mugs full of berries nearly every day. We’d put them in hotcakes or muffins or as a berry compote to put on things for a simple treat. You may not have checked every item off your list but you got a lot done so good job. Thanks for posting

Hello Mick 🤗 your sunrise is beautiful 🌞 good job on the gravel & fire pit will be nice when done 🔥 be safe & enjoy each day 🙏😉

Love a tidy cabin and yard. If you get the opportunity you might pick up a half dozen domesticated Strawberry plants. They're perennials and will do well over the winter. I grew strawberries in northeren Minnesota. Best part is they are self proliferating. You can plant the runners each year and greatly increase the output.

Love Strawberry's, but you're doing an amazing job with the property..... looks really good

Hi I'm lovin' the firepit. Cannot wait 'til it is done. Your art is impressive. You could give us tutorials as you paint and draw. Hopefully without making it just another job you 'have' to do. Not fun then. Picking strawberries in the ditch brought back a lot of memories from say 60 years ago. Tasty with fresh cream from the neighbours cows! Of course, the mosquitoes bring back the itchy memories, too. The hungry pests. Keep up the good work, Mick. We are rooting for you.

Another great episode Mick! Do you have a patreon set up for your channel? Would love to kick in as a thank you for all the entertainment you are providing for us and help you get enough $$$ together so you can build a storage shed and a wood shed and get your winter wood put up before long. This way you can spend the whole winter season at your place.

Those wild strawberries took me back to 6 years old when my aunt would have me crawl under the blackberry bushes to get the wild strawberries! Those wild strawberry pies were incredible. Mick, your cabin and exterior is looking so nice. Excellent work!!

Hey Mick, what a great life you have to yourself, do what you want, when you want, chill when you want, and no one to bother you, and your Art is something ,something . Take care.X🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💕

Your home is changing so much, you work hard and it really shows . Great job .

I would love some of your artwork of the places you show in your videos: the strawberry patch with the tall pink flowers with the sunrise behind it, the flat rocks that take shape to make up the fire pit, the lone moose with the woods backdrop at the start of your video. I think one of the coolest paintings was one someone painted of your mom with her red coat on and her and Maisy walking on the frozen lake with the white snow and beautiful orange sunrise. So much beauty to capture there that I think people would love if you wanted to share your paintings.

Hello Mick: You are getting out of your house and doing a few items to make your place the way you want it to be. The list is something that you need after a good breakfast. Sort of like a meeting with your self to point you in the right direction and if you don't finish today's list pick up where you left off tomorrow. Way to go my friend and if you don't do it, it will not get done: I am sure you understand this now. Good job and keep on trucking B>)

Those paintings are cool, you can sell them. Swing by the dump and see if you can round up some wagon wheels or a wheelbarrow to rehab. A yardcart will always be handy for moving things. Also start collecting lumber scraps, I'll explain later. Firewood should be a super-super high priority right now. Probably need 150 days + worth in AK. Are there any other berries you can collect and preserve?

I can't wait for 5,10 years from now to see this all grow! Great painting too kiddo!

Nice to see this come together! Love it.

Thank you for your peaceful footage and gentle narrative of your days. It is so pleasant! I'm so truly happy for you! I loved the strawberries in the jar with the sunrise background! Beautiful!!

Heat and light with no skeeters; Heaven. Blessings dear one🌱

dude i love your dusty old parchment tome of mystical creatures and plants

BUT!What you accomplished turned out awesome.

Your firepit is going to be wonderful. I love it so far.

It would be so cool to see you get 1-2 solar panels mounted up on the roof, and even if it’s overcast sometimes you’ll still get just enough power to power to charge your phone

Just remember, you are doing an amazing job! Thank you for sharing.

Mike things are looking good. The gravel will keep the mud situation in the spring. Keep up the good work, you are learning fast.

I love your drawings, you are a very talented artist. Kathy

Hey this one is a topic i've been waiting for you to discuss, would like to hear your plans or ideas for the future regarding food, green houses, meat, etc

I remember going out in the morning to pick some wild strawberrys for my breakfast when I was a kid. Also, goes down well when making jello, a real treat. Thanks for the vid

Your paintings look great! You're very talented!

Your cooking reminds me of your dad, while he was working on a project, he would make a breakfast and/or cook a wonderful looking steak on a campfire.

Absolutely beautiful there Mick! Respect brother! Keep up the good work!

Love watching you doing what ever it takes to get the job done. Well done Mick.

Your art is wonderful. Great video. You're making progress.

Your artwork is absolutely beautiful…it would definitely sell, if that’s something you would be interested in doing. I would imagine a local “made in Alaska” tourist area shop or online.

I enjoy seeing the progress that you are making. The strawberries looked delicious. 😊 Could you get a small flatbed trailer to pull behind your car to carry lumber or more containers of gravel ? You could unhook it when it wasn’t needed. Don’t get discouraged, you have come a long way. God bless!

Thank you so much for taking the time. Great video.

Beautiful scenery!

Good job on the video. Just an idea, how about a wheelbarrow, or maybe a wagon. "Work smarter, not harder."

I love watching your home, become a home. You're awesome dude. Those drawings are dope.

A little at a time actually does go a long way.

Man I love your videos I wait for every Sunday just to watch your videos it’s the highlight of my week. You honestly have the best content on this platform

You should do a video about your future plans for the cabin and property

Great video. Your best yet. The way it was shot, edited, written and voiced was near perfection. You've grown a lot. I think this video proves that you've found your voice. Keep up the good work! Love supporting you from Michigan.

Everything is looking very nice, Mick! Try to get a wheelbarrow so you won't have to make so many trips to get the gravel from the car with a bucket. Please, be safe!

You are doing a great job making your cabin your home. I admire you for buying land and moving to Alaska and starting your life's journey. You are living a dream most of us would love Keep pushing forward ⏩ loving the accomplishments you are making Would love to see longer videos lol Love from Ohio

I love your art Mick. I'm an artist as well. French Impressionist style, as well as Abstract art. Your place looks very nice. In another year, you will be amazed at your results. Well done Mick!

🎉Thank you for another great update! We have found using bags from dog food and feed is a great way to haul woodchips, dirt, and gravel from the pit. Friends and family save them for us. We only fill each one to what we can carry up our steep hill. That way we only have to scoop it once. It also allows for us to put bags on the floor boards and distribute the weight more evenly. I busted a back spring by putting too much weight in the back behind the tires. In the late fall we fill the bags with kindling and bark for quick morning fires and firestarter. It cuts down on the mess. The bags also help keep the wood dry. I am 56 and finally come to realize that there will always be a "to do" list. I am learning to schedule more enjoyable things to the list.

The paintings are really beautiful. 🌻

That sunrise ❤

Another wonderful video from you Mick. I find it so enjoyable sharing your time. Yum crispy bacon!! I love the wildflowers. Sadly we have no wild strawberries in outback Queensland!! The gravel will be a huge bonus when done - especially helpful in rain!! The fire pit will be a great addition for you to enjoy alone, or with your mates. You painting is amazing, I paint with acrylics, and I wish my work is half as good as yours. Thanks Mick for taking us along with you. ☺🙃❤👩‍🦽

Love that you also are a painter. You did a day’s worth of work and rewarded yourself with painting. Fantastic!👏🏻😊

Things are really starting to shape up!

I LOVE YOUR PAINTINGS! 10/10

Everything coming together nice

Im not sure how to go about doing this, but you should really look into doing voice work, narrating videos etc. Your voice is very good. It would be a great source of income and im sure could be done remotely from your place. Also you might consider finding more small buckets for getting gravel. Buckets like you are using up to 5 gallon ones. This way you would speed up the process and have to handle the materials less. Enjoyed the video. Place is really looking good.

Delightful video of the flowers/plants/trees and stunning sky scenes! Watching your progress on the various projects is inspiring! :D Love your artwork btw! :D

I guarantee you those are, bar none, the best Strawberries you will ever eat! If you know, you know.

Love the gravel all around the cabin and the addition of the flat rocks around the fire pit. Your home and the landscaping is really looking nice. Have fun creating your space!

Your voice would be wonderful for audio books.

Come along way since the start bud. Appreciate that. Its a good motivation and great for mental health. Way to go. Keep it up

Hey Mick 👋 Good to see you settling in to life in your cabin out on your own ❤ You really should sell prints of your art, it is amazing 🤩 Have a blessed week 🙏

Mick, my boy you are an amazing young man. What’s sophisticated music you were playing. And that voice of yours is smooth as silk. Much love? Texas Granny

Thank you for sharing your day. Your parents can be very proud of their son. You are all very blessed.

I love your art work , very detailed and skillfully done

I really enjoy your down-to-earth channel Mick! Thank you!

My favorite BoA video yet! Everything is improving. I loved the music choices. Your shot composition has improved. And it's fun to see a lot of progress on the homestead. Nice work!

paintings are elite

Thx Mick always enjoy your videos, like your parents you don’t mind work to accomplish your goals . 😊🙏

I’m impressed by what all you did in one day! For those who want to see more art, Mick has a channel on KZfaq about the art called (Mick makes stuff) you will see him developing the art he was showing, it’s very cool. He is a truly gifted artist because he thinks outside the box,makes his own characters and animals etc. and the way he paints seems different but it works amazingly well. I love everything he does.

You have made great progress.. and wow you are amazingly gifted with your paintings. Wonderful!

Mick, I am totally blown away by your artistic talent. Your paintings are awesome. What a good skill to have and continue to develop ………property is really taking shape. You’re doing good remember success is the sum of efforts repeated day in and day out. Az Dan

Another great video! Perfect length, great editing, superb music! The gravel really makes a difference in the aesthetic. Slow progress is still progress and over a few years, huge progress! Keep up the good work!

This is the best video yet. Totally had a calming effect thank you 🌻

Free gravel - bonus! Pour a little vinegar on those weeds - makes a cheap weed killer and environmentally friendly. 😍🇨🇦

Beautiful scenery! Thank you Mic! God’s Blessings! ❤️🙏🤗

Hey Mick, Still Life of your strawberries would make a lovely subject for your art and you could definitely sell them! Flowers and fish are lovely as well! Great job with the gravel! Keep up the hard work and enjoy the sunrise 🌅 Peace and blessings! 🤗

Great progress & paintings! Thanks for sharing! Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦

good episode - keep it up and yes, your paintings are great!

I’m not surprised you are a skilled artist, everything you show us is highly artistic. It’s very fun to watch.

Roadside berries! So awesome!

You are so talented! I love your art! You are making a very liveable existence there. Love it!

You too, have a good day, Mick 🎈

The homestead is really looking awesome Nick. Wow your painting are so very nice maybe you should sell them. Anyways Thank you for sharing and can’t wait until you share some more. Happy Independence Day. Be safe lots of love from 🇺🇸 Cindy

Enjoyed the video and glad to see you're getting protein. Buy Cafe Bustelo for your pour over coffee. It's great and goes further since it's ground finer.

Wow Mick, your art is stunning!

Mick you are very talented,great video.😊😊
