Everyday Life in the Middle of the Winter in Alaska [February 2022 Recap]

[@marlamclaren8106]

Already anticipating missing your daily videos on March 1. Will be looking forward to watching spring come to Alaska and following along on your adventures. Won’t miss an episode.

[@LivingFreeAlaska]

aweee Thank you Marla. I will admit editing a video for a daily release has been HARD. I thought once a week is/was hard... publishing daily is TOUGH! Since I (Stacey) am the only one that knows how to edit, its a lot on me. Plus I have our business to run too. So it means so much that everyone is enjoying what we've been putting out so far. Thanks again! 🥰

That moose program is really nice for you all.Saves some dollars.Thanks for the video it was really nice.

[@LivingFreeAlaska]

It is a wonderful way to fill our freezers. I'll be honest... still waiting for a phone call for our turn on the list and can't wait. We are down to very little moose left. It comes to a point where you hoard it and don't want to use it except for special occasions.

When i lived in the Yukon we had Moose Stew and Bannock and it was so good. It's been years since i had this but do remember how much Flavor there was in that Stew. Thanks for the memories. Smiles from BC

I'm a 72 year old widow woman and I will never make it to Alaska watching all of your adventures

[@LivingFreeAlaska]

We are happy to bring you along for the adventure Bonnie! 🥰

Ice under snow…makes for a challenging move of your truck and that packed full trailer! Great assist from Mike! It’s wonderful to see some of your tubs and stuff now out of the trailer. Susan

Like I said in the video it felt like Christmas. The funny thing is some of those tubs have yet to be unpacked. 🤣

[@alaskacutthecord769]

Great video. Lots going on there.

[@LivingFreeAlaska]

February is always a busy month for sure.... well except for this year. LOL Gary done and ruined that by blowing out his knee. Still love him and well It's got me back in my editing chair reediting all these videos. Thanks guys for taking the time to catch up with us today on this snowy February day.

Love that they have a list for people to use the moose meat. Its unfortunate that it happens but at least the meat gets used!

[@LivingFreeAlaska]

Yes it is an awesome program for sure! Can't wait for our name to come up next on the list.

Hi all

[@LivingFreeAlaska]

Hi Lori Ann

[@sarahschlosser1203]

Gary weight in the back of your truck will help also. I know from experience here in Wyoming we have similar weather.

[@LivingFreeAlaska]

Yes he put some sand bags in the back to help.

[@FIL357]

Got garage workshop envy! Not talking anymore today - so there 😝Phil🇬🇧🤣

[@simonemoreno4324]

Go downhill skiing show us what it’s like please pretty please. What are the mountains like? What’s the nicest mountain there to go down downhill skiing?

[@LivingFreeAlaska]

We have a couple of hills and one resort in the area. Alyeska is the resort and they are about a 2.5 hour drive from here. One of these days I would like to go and get a hotel for a night. Both of are skiers (from years ago) so maybe we can take you to the slopes one of these days. However it wont be this year. Gary blew out his knee and is scheduled for surgery in 2 weeks. 😢

[@simonemoreno4324]

What does moose burgers taste like? I always wanted to try it.

[@LivingFreeAlaska]

It is very much like beef or bison and very lean. Not gamey at all in my opinion. Very palettable.

[@simonemoreno4324]

You should put chains on the tires to help you take it out

[@LivingFreeAlaska]

If we had any. 🤣

[@OldSchoolAlaska]

👍

[@LivingFreeAlaska]

Thanks for the thumbs up @oldschoolalaska! Find us on the FB... I want to share something with you as a Alaska YT creator. 😃

[@leesiaevans5780]

Hi, Is the moose meat strong or a mild meat ? I do believe I would rather hit a white tail deer than a moose. Hope all is going well . Take Care

[@LivingFreeAlaska]

It is VERY mild meat. Almost like beef. In fact I could probably sub it out into a spaghetti or a burger and you would have no idea it was moose. We however always disclose if its moose to guests because some still flat out refuse to eat... just means more for us. LOL 😆

[@leesiaevans5780]

@LivingFreeAlaska thank you for taking time to answer my question. Take care and please hug the dogs for me.

[@LivingFreeAlaska]

You are welcome. I am trying to reply to every question because I know folks are curious and well I want them to know we care about you too... our YT followers are like family. 🥰

[@susanburd4553]

Need chains on those wheels

[@LivingFreeAlaska]

We've never really needed them before then and haven't needed it after. But regardless Mike saved the day. 😃

[@susanburd4553]

@@LivingFreeAlaska living there you will.need them.

[@charlielamb4606]

[@LivingFreeAlaska]

Never needed them since... and you will see soon in an upcoming video I got Gary a Matt's Offroad Recover rope for his birthday this past year. LOL
