Me thinks the head chef needs to make EXTRA cookie dough next time, so when the handsome hired help says he needs cookies she can pop a few frozen dough balls in the oven. BA-BAH!!! Happy hired help!! ❤😎❤ That shelter is lookin' good! It was a nail biter from this side of the camera a couple times... but as soon as Mr Reeve STOPPED kneeling both knees on the same 2- by, WITHOUT CRASHING, the nails got a reprieve! BTW... It IS... IMITATION is the most sincere form of flattery. I had to google it, but I think thats what you guys said anyway. THAT MEANS... go have cookies & a nap! (Then tacos😊)

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

I’ll have to hide the cookie dough in a frozen spinach box in the freezer. Otherwise, it’ll disappear like magic. Ha!

Well now!!! Reeve needs cookies for Christmas and you C need a too cool hammer with a nail thingy!! 😂. 😜

See, I knew you were smart lady. Ha!

[@stephaniehill655]

You need to make a big batch of your wonderful cookies and share all of us your recipes 😋🍪🍪

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

I’ll put it on the list. Ha! Mr. Reeve is quite the flatterer when he talks about my cooking. But, I think the reality of it is that he’s just not that picky. 😊

[@stephencameron1709]

What a nice shelter! Phew Glad you and Mr. Reeve are back on solid ground. Hope you both get a nap. You two are funny. Puppy nap time so cute. ❤️🙏🏻Val C

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

The dogs nap all day. What a life. Ha! They are up all night keeping the Moose and a pesky fox back from the animals, so I guess they deserve it. Ha! Actually, those guys work extremely hard. Be blessed, sweet Val.

Like Trudeau said, " don't taco moistly to me " haha Wow I actually came up with a funny. 🤣 It's a Canadian thing.

That shelter is gonna be nice & roomy! The free metal is awesome! I hope Mr. Reeves gets his cookies 🍪 😋

Cookies are at the top of the list, definitely. 😊

Bad dad jokes and laughter the right way to end the evening. 38:59

Awwwww! Thanks for making it to the end. 😊🫶 We appreciate you!

[@Me-td8eo]

I think those portable shelters are a good idea. Multi use. Honey, cookies. He just blew her mind. Self baking cookies. Nothing's like Chrystal's cooking. Sell them to the military...🤣 Get a pink hammer. I wish I could find someone that I can get along with like you two. I've been told that I'm too independent. Men want a woman that needs taken care of. Oh, poo. Lol. Cooper is attractive, and stinky. Clickety clack, don't talk back. She is cute, protecting your glove. Dunk while still on the ground. Sacrifice your body. That sounded kinky. You could probably smell Cooper a mile away. Fancy move. He could have been a baton twirler. Taco night at the neighbors. Teddy sounded mean. Nap time, after a cookie. He deserves it! Come on Chrystal. Cute pigs. Tasty, too. No, not there. It's going there. I'll stop now. If you can't tell, I love your videos, and you two. Stay safe my friends ☺️

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

We love you too Miss Julie! Cookies are on the top of the list. I promise. 🫶

[@lesliesmith6586]

Best drinking game EVER!!!! Take a shot every time Mr.Reeve mentions cookies. hahahahaha.

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

Ha! I almost made cookies last night...almost. Have a great week friend.

Now that’s great to see ! Helping working together. I just got down building a mudroom and still stuff to do of course on it before winter. I been thinking for a few years since startibg out homesteading in MT that maybe I’d move to Alaska after a few years. Well it’s been a few years and now I’m actually starting to think about it One thing I always thought was where would I look since it’s so big and never been there Looks like your all in Willow from one of your other videos so I looked it up kind of. Must be a good area ehh ? Town close by for supplies and things ? Im curious about the area now. Checking Zillow and see a lot of small property’s that seem like future developments? Ten acres would be nice ! Great channel. I need to watch more of your videos!

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

We’re glad you’re enjoying our channel. Willow is pretty far away from city life for sure. Emergency services are about an hour away, we have a tiny post office and two gas stations, an elementary school. If you can live in Montana, you can live in Alaska. Just imagine that you’re cold days are all squished together without a break for a really long time. The hometown community of the people in Montana is very similar to the hometown community of the people in Alaska. You can totally do it friend.

[@MyAlaska12]

did you try rotating 180 degrees those sheets where the holes didn't line up? The holes might have lined up then. Thanks for sharing.

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

We did..they were equa-distant on both ends. 😊

[@deborahmoczygemba3026]

All you need now is a cow 🐄 😏 😁

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

Right?! It’s the only animal we’re missing. Ha! Be blessed friend. 😊

[@mick5740]

Do you have predators there to worry about ? Mountain lions and bears ? And wolves ?

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

Good question friend. In terms of pesky animals. We have a lot of moose that come by, but we just pretty much have to protect our garden from them. They are mostly harmless. There are definitely bears here, and we live very close to a creek that the bears frequent, but the dogs keep most of those types of predators away. And the bears want to be where the food is, which is down by the creek, so that keeps them primarily away from our property. We do have coyotes and foxes, they post the biggest risk to our animals. But because we have the Maremma livestock guardian dogs, they are constantly barking and keeping all of the predators pushed back away from our property. Holly and Juniper are definitely the hardest working animals on our farm. The dogs’ arc nemesis, however are the ravens. The ravens are always trying to get into the animal pens to eat their feed. The dogs are running the ravens off multiple times a day. Maremmas aren’t always the best with aerial predators, but when Juniper was just a puppy, she saw a hawk get in our chicken coop and take out some of our chickens. Ever since then, she’s been very protective and keeping the arial predators away from landing on our property. There are also lots of eagles in our area, but they won’t come down because of the dogs. And there’s lots of natural pray for them to eat. There’s no need for them to scavenge in our animal pens. Thanks for asking. Have a wonderful Sunday evening. 😊
