Winter was late to arrive this year in Alaska, giving us just enough time to get our chores and maintenance done around the cabin. We enjoy fresh Toum on warm pita bread and can finally rest assured we are ready for the winter months ahead.
We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀

It was hilarious that Eric was trying to demonstrate that hand splitting firewood can be faster and Arielle thought he was competing with her. Her comments about Eric taking the "competition" too seriously and it not being fun looked like a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black. Thanks for being such a good sport about it Arielle. If Eric had done both the hand and hydraulic splitting it would be hard to know whether he was intentionally going slow on the machine splitter to make a point. Most people who have used both come to understand that hand splitting can be faster but machine splitting doesn't wear you out as fast and a machine will split knotty wood that is very tough to split with a maul. Thanks for the video !

Brings back many happy memories. We heated with wood for over 50 years. One year, my father got 1/2 a wooden bridge that the county was replacing. They even delivered it because we lived so close. The problem was, it was all in one piece. That was my summer job, turning it into firewood. The neighbors were shocked! I was a 15 year old girl using a 15 lb sledge hammer and steel wedges as well as a double headed axe! Now days it would be child abuse! I had so much FUN! Best summer job ever and we enjoyed a nice warm house all winter.

I think that was filmed on Oct 28. I'm looking at 18" of snowfall as of today on the south shore of Georgian Bay. It's been snowing for a week almost non-stop. Temp is sitting at 20 F in daylight. This is still "warm". I do agree that Alaska does seem to look rather balmy at times. Maybe the ocean brings in warm air for them, like it does for Europe. We're on the same latitude as Spain and they grow date palms and oranges there. Can't do that in Minnesota, can yah! LOL!

Amazing how you do all by yourselves! you are the ones that would survive an apocalypsis! I admire that. And despite the difficulties and trials of that life that you have chosen you get the reward of being your own bosses.

That's a lot of wood and a lot of work! I guess it's time to invest in a wood splitter for your NEW cabin. Not much to say about the new lights on the Tundra except WOW, what a difference!

I have never see two people work so hard, and seem to enjoy each day, you make most of your own food, have chickens, go fishing, and so much more, but have your freedom. I am watching from Canada, and like watching your videos. Thanks for sharing your beautiful life with us. Much love ❤to you both ❤
