I came here to say just that. Awesome awesome video. I was wondering do y'all plan to have children ?

[@januszlewicki5783]

These mushrooms that you collect are also present in my Poland. Sarcodon imbricatus, commonly known as shingles hedgehog or scaly hedgehog. Its other name is scaly cone, it is a rare mushroom and subject to partial protection in Poland. The pine cone belongs to the same family of boletus mushrooms as the boletus. Scaly cones grow from August to October. They can be found in deciduous, coniferous and mixed forests, more often in the south Polish in foothill forests. It is a mycorrhizal fungus, associated with beech, fir or spruce. Cones most often grow singly.

[@beckypincalifornia1985]

Great info, Janus!

[@Dzidekification]

hey wiedza to potega. Pamietam jak smakuja smardze.

[@UffUffsen]

leave it to the pole to be an encyclopedia on foraging mushrooms, classic Janusz stuff.

[@koololdster]

Love watching you folks cook, can and eat. You always have such inventive recipes. Twenty minutes goes by in a snap!

[@SimpleLivingAlaska]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@ByronWerner-qw5sh]

Y'all should get a grant from the State of Alaska for showing the natural beauty of the state with such love, elegance and grandeur! I watch every episode.

[@sandramarc4858]

National Geographic eat your heart out! Spectacular!

[@truthtalker4038]

My dad used to cook grouse for me when I was young! I haven't had it since then! I wish I knew someone who hunted them and could cook them for me! Awesome!

[@dougm2681]

Pick up a shot gun and go to the woods!

[@MrAcuta73]

Road chickens are honestly harder to cook without drying them out than to hunt them. Go buy a used 20ga shotgun and walk dirt/gravel roads early in the morning. They are about as dumb as they are tasty. Not a very sporting bird (though they can be occasionally), more of a harvest than a hunt.

[@alisonward3167]

Come to the Yorkshire dales in Grouse season, you’ll easily find a pub with it on their menu.

[@applemac100100]

Try going to the Scottish moors to get the red grouse along with Scotlands favourite drink 😀

[@moradghali2958]

Please enjoy the rest of the summer, we wish you a wonderful fall, be safe, we are always praying for your safety and success.

[@susanrichards4844]

I’m again blown away by the quality and beauty of your photography. It reminds me of the photographers from National Geographic!! Well done. And the foraging was amazing. You guys are the best!💕💕

[@Boo1776x]

My two favorite youtubers, thank you for sharing your awesome work with the rest of us.

[@soniab.estacio3008]

I was just the store today and saw oyster mushrooms for $11.98 / lb … it crazy . How lucky you are to find mushrooms around you ! God bless you both . I am following you for years . Thank you for sharing your lives ❤ warm greetings from Chicago !

[@stanleygallman7800]

Eric and Ariel your videos show how beautiful of place Alaska is offering the type of lifestyle that if I were 30 years younger I know that I would have been able to easily decide to make Alaska my home thank you so much for the beautiful scenic shots of the Alaska Wilderness.

[@marionlesage4794]

Your cinematography is amazing like a professional nature documentary. I look forward to your videos every week. I’m not a garlic lover but your recipe did sound good.❤

[@Susan.I]

Love garlic in our food!

[@IzzyMariel]

Haven't finished yet, but had to comment about the stunning photography ❤

[@rougefox9233]

Just stunning scenery, and beautiful filming!! Autumn is my favorite time of year and WOW is Alaska a looker, especially this time of year!! And those mushrooms are gorgeous!! Nice job!! ❤

[@judycross8037]

I have been checking and waiting as usual for your video. Splendid and worth the wait. Your filming and editing skills are beyond reach . Thank you.❤❤❤

[@richardmelanson7947]

Its great to see all the ways you cooked and dried the mushrooms. There are so many mushrooms that i have never seen. It looks like winter will be arriving shortly. I truly enjoy all the videos over the years. Until your next video, take care and be safe.(Judy NB)🌲🇨🇦

[@pnwusa]

your filming with music is exquisite. absolutely breathtaking! your hunting, gathering, harvesting, canning, enjoying a meal together is always great. continued blessings.🕊

[@adacarpenter201]

Such beautiful mushrooms! So glad you guys found time for foraging and hunting even with all the work on your new property

[@sreid9740]

The beginning of this video was just lovely - thank you for the time and effort you must have put into it!! And grouse - wow, haven't had it in years - that just tops of that fantastic harvest of mushrooms - wow, what a batch of yummy!! That's some stuff to look forward to over the winter!! Lovely times coming up; stay safe, be happy!!❤

[@patriciaherman6499]

The kabobs looked delicious. Have you ever wrapped the grouse with bacon? I used to with grouse and pheasant gives it moisture and of course , flavor. Another interesting and informative video on mushrooms and the processing. Goes without saying the photography of the wildlife is outstanding. Blessings to you both. 😊🇺🇲

[@SimpleLivingAlaska]

Sounds great!

[@debrawichmann5152]

Love the beautiful fall colors! It's such a wonderful wilderness that you've chose live in...so happy for both of you! Love your channel ❤ 💕 ♥

[@clemmons9501]

Always Love seeing what y'all cook and preserve!!!💯💯💯 I hope this finds y'all well!!!🙌🙌🙌 Much Love from FL 💖💞🙏🌴💖💞🙏🌴💖💞🙏🌴

[@katemark4413]

Glad you two took a break from Thunderdome construction and went foraging. Your property is absolutly amazing and providing abundant gifts!

[@wayupnort6271]

Marinated grouse breast wrapped in bacon and grilled is hard to beat! Super good in the crockpot w/cream of mushroom soup as well! Good luck with the rest of your fall protein gathering!👍🏻

[@adrockey]

Great video! Y'all are truly blessed to be able to harvest what Alaska has to offer.

[@travelandeventz2742]

[@PSSKDerby]

Great video Eric & Arielle! The opening salmon shots were so beautiful! “The dogs will eat that”. Eric eats it. I would too, just saying. Lol. What an awesome foraging, prep and cooking vlog. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@elizabethbailey1124]

The two of you not only live in one of the most beautiful places on earth, you eat gourmet food daily 😋💯

[@charlenegrady8781]

You’ve done it again with the footage. Thank you so much for sharing. You made my day today. The mushrooms looked great after canning. Take care the two of you until next time be safe out there. Love you both✌️🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@elizabethfairlie8296]

Absolutely outstanding as usual. Thank you so much. We're officially into spring here in New Zealand.

[@nightengale10]

Once again, you have created an utter masterpiece of an opening sequence. Thank you for sharing the wonderful wildness of Alaska and the majestic beauty of your home and life.

[@glorialange6446]

I cant say it any better but yes 110%!!!

[@honeybadgers1996]

Beautiful harvest from berries, grouse, mushrooms, and so on. You guys eat well. Thanks for sharing beautiful sceneries. I absolutely loved it.

[@pinschrunner]

Beautiful video! It makes me miss Bo sooo much when I see Bandit without his brother! 💖

[@william6526]

I'm glad to see you cutting the mushrooms rather then pulling them out of the ground. By cutting the stems the mushrooms will resprout . Ethical harvesting,well done.

[@deborahmcsweeney3349]

Winter is coming! What a beautiful wild harvest!! Yummy!

[@alaskanhomesteading]

Thanks so much for introducing us to Toum! We were inspired by your garlic harvest last year and planted some of the same varieties you mentioned. They did pretty well considering how wet the summer was! And now we have "garlic crack" tucked away for the winter! After making it this morning I fully understood why you were so joyful when you sampled it!!

[@schwabrichard9829]

That was a wonderful introduction ! Nice to see you enjoying some down time. The kabobs looked fantastic! Another wonderful episode!

[@travelandeventz2742]

[@earlshaner4441]

Good evening from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures in life

[@lois4329]

What you do and how you show it is extraordinary 🎉❤😊

[@robgillespie1711]

Hi guys! Another fantastic opener and great content throughout.

[@Spiritrun-hf2vf]

I can't help but admire your ambition and courage. It reminds me of my younger days when I slept in the back of my pickup truck starting my own boreal forest homestead in Ontario, Canada. The hard work and also the fun was well worth it. Enjoy and please show us more. Thanks. Terry

[@bigdanny9721]

My family in Romania for generations has been doing rose hip jam….best jam ever

[@jayparker7701]

Great video guys! If y’all enjoy soups, then try making a big pot of salmon bones and mushroom soup. Add leeks, garlic and whatever peppers you like and you’ll have a bunch of soup for the winter 😅

[@jeanettegilder1616]

That sounds yummy!

[@PaullaWells]

I couldn't help but giggle at y'all when it was raining and there stood the hut. 🤣 You have to admit that was a little funny. I always find grouse so interesting during the summer months. They look a lot like chickens, but happen to be dark meat like duck. Never tried grouse that I can recall, but I think I'd really like it since I like duck meat.

[@gladusb9181]

My lord! Such a beautiful begining... for a moment there I thought I was watching a nature show. U are incredible! I had to watch the introduction twice!Thank you!

[@PatNetherlander]

You guys are the BEST example of how mankind should live: providing your own, living of the land and being no bother to others. I can watch this all the time. So much thanks for sharing this with us!

[@dianapagan8991]

Breathtaking introduction. You guys amaze me. Thank you for sharing your day with us. ❤

[@corrineterry6676]

Wow! The nature photography in this video was AWESOME! Well done! You’re a beautiful couple!💜

[@icybar]

Even by your amazing standards, that opening was something really special. The strings made me so emotional, against your spectacular photography. Thank you.

[@tmunit2840]

Gday from Australia, your content just keeps getting better and better, it’s my dream to live a lifestyle like you guys, you’re truly blessed to be in Alaska ❤

[@dianabarajas9590]

Wow thats a lot of mushrooms and they look amazing! You guys are very resourceful love watching to see what you will try next. And the beginning of your video was so beautiful and peaceful loved it.

[@Mary-go8xc]

LOL .Nothing sexier than a man packing heat canning mushrooms!! You two are fantastic educators about off grid living and food preservation. TY for that. Living this shared life of love and hard work has to be the best. God bless from San Antonio, Tx.

[@LyndaMargaret]

We love watching you guys work together. Don’t give up on the garlic. It’s a life necessity.

[@tobbiemoody7040]

Thank you both again. I am looking forward to winter at the new cabin and seeing the different if any ,than at the old cabin, love you guys😊

[@rachelfrees1268]

Grouse are wonderful. The garlic dish you made sounds off the scales and I’ve never seen that quantity of wild mushrooms. You two live a charmed life provided by your intelligence and hard work.❤

[@kerrypennings4294]

I am so grateful for all your teaching! It's so wonderful to see people loving and respecting and living a conscious life, plus what you show us is beautiful and interesting! Helps to restore my faith in humanity. Thank you!!

[@samhill3496]

Love the lead in. The signs of fall and winter are on you. Lot of salmon. People don't believe me when I tell them how thick they are. Good fiddle music. Good hunting. tasty eats. Great looking meal. Interesting canning the mushrooms. Happy hunting. seems like a really good place for the spruce grouse. Our season for ruffed grouse doesn't start til Thanksgiving. Too hot then, it's crazy. You all take care.

[@christivbosch565]

Love, positivity & blessings to You both, Bo & Bandit & Pepper. Beautiful start to Autumn in Alaska

[@annstewart1983]

I love it that you guys appreciate food from from the land, it’s the best. Love the nature shots, you art both such professionals at everything you attempt. Have a great and safe week. Thanks for the video.

[@krawlb4walking802]

I love mushrooms. Thanks for showing the harvesting experience.

[@Laurelend]

Harvest, preservation and cooking meals are my favorite videos!

[@Judy-fi7ce]

Beautiful harvest of mushrooms and rose hips. Great looking grouse kabobs and toum dip. What a perfect fall feast. Lovely video guys! Take care.

[@laudya1]

I have been seeing this word spelled and pronounced so wrong for so long i have to say something. Guys it is kebab/kebabs. Not kabobs....please...😄

[@Judy-fi7ce]

No dear, it's kabob. @@laudya1

[@laudya1]

I am of arabic background and i think i know how to pronounce the name correctly...You can pronounce it anyway you want, your choice@@Judy-fi7ce

[@joshbrown8911]

Anybody else consider this an Alaskan cooking show where the hosts also build things? Love watching them!

[@Mjones8383]

The intros are epic, really show the beautiful way America use to look

[@jennieb7966]

I lovvvvve when you gather, hunt, and cook in videos.

[@staceyhazelett2397]

[@user-ru9wp4vs5m]

What beautiful fall colors,mushrooms and salmon. You always have the most awesome scenery and music in the beginning of your videos. Also I have no idea how in the world the two of you did all that work on the Quonset hut alone…you are in great shape and work so well together.😊

[@Paylala]

These are my fav style videos. LOVE when you guys experiment with food! BTW that intro is the new winner of best intros. I know I already said before you guys really have been incredible with the way you visualize and compose your intro sequences but this one is top notch. Gorgeous river shots, btw!

[@cherylperron8938]

Winter is almost there.. so glad you got to harvest and enjoy some down time. The new property is looking great. We are praying you have enough of wood for heat and that you have all your love between you keeping you warm in these cold nights. Following as always. Stay safe God Bless you both

[@nadias5192]

Thankyou for taking the time to share images of the landscape & wildlife as the seasons transition. Very much enjoyed your food preparation & BBQ cooking. Your slow down simply lively is so ideal. Continue to enjoy making memories in your new cabin.

[@grandmak.]

Another breathtakingly beautiful intro underlined with awesome music - thank you for sharing ! That was a special Sunday morning treat for me here in Germany as your videos always are ! You are doing an amazing job capturing the beauty of Alaskan nature, Arielle and Eric .

[@lostinaveyron2279]

Another canning recipe you might try sometime with mushrooms is pickling them ☺️ I was doubtful about pickled mushrooms before moving to France but they’re so good and very nice for snacks or with the French apero 😊 autumn hasn’t started here but I think we’re all looking forward to the heat breaking into cooler days. Enjoy the season and looking forward to a new video !

[@rogertemple7193]

Canned Mushrooms and Grilled Grouse Kabobs sound really good and I really like the intro with the wildlife of Alaska, take care and Thank You. 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

[@ioanagherman5952]

From rosehips you can do preserve ( is a long process),mushrooms with onions,roasted peppers and tomatoes very good for winter.Great video, God bless you guys, have a wonderful weekend.

[@indirarondeau583]

Awesome video! ❤ Absolutely love mushrooms, how incredible to have an abundance of them in your backyard. Have you thought about making mushroom soup and canning it?

[@SimpleLivingAlaska]

That's a great idea!

[@reid5686]

It's always a good day when I see you guys post another video! I have you ever tried making pickled mushrooms too? My dad used to make them all the time. Love the video!

[@SimpleLivingAlaska]

That sounds interesting!

[@maryegerton6848]

Last year I made the garlic spread after watching you make it and I thought I died and went to garlic heaven. I have a load of garlic hanging in the garage and first chance I get I will be making a pile for the freezer. Thanks for always sharing. ❤
