Thank you Phillip, and thank you so much for watching. Blessings.

[@catherinemira75]

I always rinse after washing up.

[@susampson278]

I noticed that too

[@cenobitek]

so weird seeing it not being rinsed, right?

[@Oursimplelife907]

It saves on water and it is an organic, non toxic soap, and very little used at a time. When done the water goes outside on the ground, it wont hurt anything. Thank you for watching, Blessings.

Got to laugh at David in his shorts, doesn’t,t look like spring yet with all that snow!! Thanks for another video, take care!

[@Oursimplelife907]

He wears shorts year round, only long pants for sunburn and mosquito protection and for extended periods of outside winter activities. Thank you Carolyn, and thank you again for watching. Blessings.

Your island really helped with your storage. Our daughter did the same thing in her small home.

13:50 ...lots of cracked windshields in AK

[@markjob6354]

I love the Island and your great Federal wood stove. Great equipment. I noticed the outside of your home has particle board, and the inside floors are not covered with any flooring other than throw rugs. Do you intend to either paint or put on some siding on the exterior of your cabin, and do you intend to put down some kind of finished flooring ? Regarding the suspended (5 Gallon ?) water jug, this looks like an accident waiting to happen. I'm hoping and praying your rope and securing clete hold.

[@Oursimplelife907]

The cabin is a work in progress, we will be putting on siding (we already have it) and are looking into flooring, when it is financially possible. The water hanging system has been that way for a couple years, it is rated for over 100 lbs, i think its fairly safe. Thank you and thank you so much for watching. Blessings.

[@kathyspann-hampton9533]

Why is water in the shed and not in the cabin?

[@Oursimplelife907]

The yard floods ever year, so we built the cabin on higher ground. We are going to fix the flooding problem one of these years, Lol. Thank you so much for watching. Blessings.

[@offpherj7884]

That was nice video. I went to Hope Ak. once in 2002 or 3, Really cool place to visit. On a side note! You wearing shorts with 2 foot of snow.......... What's wrong with you man? lol

[@Oursimplelife907]

Love my shorts, wear them almost all year.

[@LaLadybug2011]

Stopping at 2:30 to say, don't drink water out of the hot side of the faucet. Hot water tanks can have all sorts of bacteria because the water just sits in there and stews. Not saying ALL hot water heaters, but it can happen.

[@Oursimplelife907]

Thank you for the advice, I didn’t know that. I will definitely only use the cold water. Thank you for watching.

Omg you dont wash the glass and plate with clean water?? 🙊

[@Oursimplelife907]

It is clean water, only used for washing dishes, resourceful. ?? Thank you for watching, God Bless you this week, See you again next Sunday.

[@susansmith493]

Putting a hose on the spigot of that sink would allow you to fill the jugs while they sit in the sled.

[@Oursimplelife907]

We had one on it for a short bit, but its not our sink and its easier for us to just carry it, its only 5 gallons, when there isn't any snow, we hand carry them to the cabin anyway. Thank you and thank you so much for watching. Blessings.

[@raimundomedeiros1190]

Lugar muito frio né você tem coragem mulher morar aí viu que eu tenho que estar cedo tem que ser pessoas daí mesmo que aqui do Brasil acho que pessoas aqui o Brasil nesse

[@Oursimplelife907]

é um lugar frio, mas sua beleza vale a pena. Eu adoraria visitar o Brasil. Obrigado por assistir. Deus abençoe

[@boohoo4416]

Loved watching this. Do you have problems with bears or other animals? I'm in Scotland so we don't really have anything like them here, although, they are thinking of reintroducing wolves back into the wild.

[@Oursimplelife907]

Thank you for watching. We don't have problems with any animals here. Moose will often visit the yard, and we will occasionally see moose and bear on the hiking trails, but have not encountered any problems with them.

[@gregoryzoebisch7792]

This looks like Houston or Big Lake/Wasilla area....

[@Oursimplelife907]

You may just be correct, Lol. Thank you so much for watching. Blessings.

[@susansmith493]

Putting a pvc outtake pipe from you sink, running through the wall and away from the cabin would solve a multitude of issues. Less icing due to you tossing your water, etc. More efficient and simple. Live simple but smart.

[@Oursimplelife907]

We have a plastic barrel that we plan on putting a bunch of holes in and dig it deep in the ground below the frost line and run the sink drain to that. Might happen later this summer or next. We have lots of other improvements before it. Thanks for the comment. God bless.

[@nathanscott7910]

Does she always do all the work? Lol I'm confused, which isn't hard, why do you have a faucet in the kitchen yet go somewhere else to get the water? That jerry rigged water container looks dangerous. I'm not trying to be critical at all. I wish I lived somewhere like that. As one commenter already stated, that osb on the outside of the house isn't going to last very long exposed to rain and snow. It isn't designed for that kind of application. Eventually, not to long, it is going to come apart and fall off the side of the house. I really recommend at least covering it with a house wrap like tyvek.

[@Oursimplelife907]

Yes my wife does a lot of work here due to she is just a very hard worker by nature. And I still work a full time job. The faucet has no plumbing to it, we may in the future build a gravity feed tank to it. The hanging water jug is very secure, tested the pulleys with my body weight. And for the outside, we have a stack of new siding we got last year, but I broke my arm in June and slowed improvements last year. Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@randygeyer4730]

I’m not sure what it is?!

Many thanks. Great presentation. Please void the music, it’s not necessary and distracts from the great story. Let the simple sounds be your guide. You are not making a Hollywood block buster. God bless.

Hmm. Don't look all that dry to me.

Dry, as in dry cabin,means, no running water or plumbing in the house. Thanks for watching.

[@SherriP]

Everyone who thinks or feels God doesn't care, is indifferent and or mean etc …. Why is the world as it is, evil everywhere… where is God and His faithfulness… God does judge sin which is evil and if people don't stop sinning they will die for that disobedience,that sin. When God said if you take from that tree you will die He was saying if you disobey, you sin, I will punish that sin because God does punish it, sickness, demons and death. And if you keep sinning I will punish you to the point of death, is that punishment. Sickness is a consequence of sin and it is a judgement God makes upon the people for their sin. All sickness takes its toll on the body and will result in death unless you stop sinning and that brings a reward from God for the righteous decision to stop sinning that brought that illness. Throughout scripture God tells us these things. God does love and there is mercy in His punishment too. He chastises those He loves. His wrath doesn't mean He doesn't love, it doesn't mean there is no mercy, it means He puts His law first and He obeys it first. He punished sin and then punishes sin and so forth and if someone doesn't stop sinning or sins more then that judgment is death just as He said, sin is death. Scripture says we are all responsible for working out our salvation with fear and trembling. Seek scripture, learn who He is and what He said to obey and do it. if you obey Him you live in blessings just like Deuteronomy 28 says and it also says disobedience is curses, that's sickness, demons possibly and again to continue in sin results in death. God told all the details, and paid for us to get out of sin and how we should live and when people don't live righteous then the world looks like it did in the days of Noah, violence, drunkenness and such lovers of self, pleasure and all sin and life apart from God, life in disobedience to God. Why should He bless sin? He punishes it then punishes sin more if someone keeps sinning. Is it tough people die from that choice they make, their sin and lack of seeking God to obey what He said, yes it hurts. How do you think God feels, He loved the world so much He gave His only begotten son and Yeshua died in agony for us to be out of that sin, taking God's wrath upon Himself so how do I think He feels, grieved so grieved but I know from scripture He always obeys what His word says, He never changes and that includes every word He said. Now Yeshua took God's wrath upon Himself for our sin Isaiah 53. We get peace with God and can come before Him to be heard and we get to be cleansed from our iniquities, sin. Just like the lamb sacrifices in the old testament Jesus was that for us a peace offering and forgiveness offering. We get freedom from that sinful past, from that sin and we get our healings because His stripes healed us from the consequences of sin. He gave us a way out. A way to start again out of that wrath. How loving is that God gave us His son who took God's wrath for us out of love. How loving just how loving is our God who made a way for us to be out of that wrath? Wrath we deserved by our sin and continued sin. But God so loved the world He gave us Yeshua. Yeshua gave His life to rise to life for us to give us new life. A new creation to begin again a new life, having been born again. Having received forgiveness for sin and a pardon from God's wrath, that very wrath you talk about. But God gave us a way out of His wrath when Yeshua our lamb paid for our sin. Again how loving is that our way out of God's wrath. Our new life. Our second chance to live rightly before our Holy righteous God our being born again to live right because God planned for us to not all receive His wrath yet His son for everyone, one for everyone and a way out, pardoned and free to live life righteous whole healed delivered, how loving oh so very loving that is. All that is in scripture too. Seek and find, learn who He is and obey and see more of it. Mark 4:24 the more you obey God the more He reveals to you, it means that. Matthew 6:33 live it daily and understand who He is and just how loving He always is and honestly how loved you are will be seen felt and KNOWN too. 💕 May you come to understand Him all your days seeking and finding and growing in the knowledge of God in Yeshua's name 💕
