Frozen & Dark | Winter Life in Alaska

Winter life in Alaska is not always easy, considerable energy is spent every day for the life we chose to lead but in return we are rewarded with unmatched beauty.
We seize the opportunity to head into Alaska's backcountry via snowmachine and visit the mighty Spencer Glacier. With this winter's cold temperatures we run into several issues with our generator. After Eric installs a cold weather kit we head outside for snow removal.
The hard work and low light hours on the shortest day of the year leaves us feeling exhausted, yet inspired to get out enjoy another day in Alaska's frozen terrain.

I wish my sis and I could have went to Alaska she found yaws channel like 2 or 3 weeks before she died. I'd come home to find her sitting watching you all and just excited to tell me what you all were doing. Now I continue to watch your channel. Keep the vids coming.

The two of you are absolutely amazing. Years ago I wanted to go to Alaska and that wife, job and mortgage thing hampered me. Wife of 35 years split. Eleven heart surgeries keep my physical adventures to a minimum. I have a farm, I just sold the last of my cattle as I cannot take care of them. Any of you young folks inspired by our gracious hosts should make your move while you can. Best wishes for Blessings for all in 2022.

[@pqtpat7734]

I love not being sold anything constantly or clickbait. Truly the best channel

[@cabanahostess]

If you have addressed this issue before, p[ease forgive me. I am a big-time snowmobiler. I worked for a few decades as a journalist writing for snowmobile publications. I have been an active snowmobile club member and a snowmobile safety instructor for 40 years. OK, all this blathering is hopefully to give me some credibility. And yes, I have ridden a snow machine in Alaska. I am amazed that you guys don't wear snowmobile helmets. This episode really shows how cold you can get. The purpose of a helmet is for safety and warmth. If you haven't tried a helmet on in a while, the design has come a long way. I am so hooked on your show and have learned a lot! For example, I replaced my island in the kitchen with a stainless steel table. The multi-use aspect of this kitchen tool is fantastic! I also bought a thermal mug, again, that I LOVE! I gave these to my girlfriends for Christmas and my husband for his birthday. I adore Alaska and it was my specialty when I owned my travel agency. We are heading there in Sept on a 7-day cruise. I wish we could explore more but the hubs is not a traveler and I'm so lucky he agreed to this!! Keep up the great work!

[@sandrasherritt9708]

I'll just add my voice to the throng of people raving about the quality of the videos you produce. You get SO much beautiful footage. Thanks for sharing.

[@jonesenak1]

I love watching yalls videos as a fellow Alaskan it’s nice seeing everything you guys accomplish. I’m not trying to be a downer but I’m hoping you guys invest in helmets soon. As someone who has been a lifelong Alaskan and lost multiple friends to snowmachine deaths safety equipment can not be talked about enough. Wishing you a Merry Christmas 🎄 and the happiest of New Years!!

[@justinvandermolen5705]

could not agree more with how much of a difference a helmet can make providing your with protection from an accident and would also provide you with protection from the elements and keep you warmer

[@summrrain7]

Helmets with built in mic system would be extremely helpful too 🌟 Awesome video as always 🌟 Merry Christmas Blessings y'all 🌟

[@marssionary]

Agree on the helmets. I was thinking the same thing. I’m not from Alaska, but Texas where lots of four wheeler and gold cart injuries and deaths happen.

[@revdude800]

Yes, and not to mention so much warmer with a helmet on.

[@fredcarani6764]

They are intelligent people so it doesn't make sense that they won't wear helmets for their own comfort and protection. Kind of like people who boat in open water without life jackets or run chainsaws without safety gear. Go figure.

[@stephaniesiddall3012]

Surreal...the beauty that is basically your backyard is stunning!!

So beautiful again. That blue glacier looks like it could be on another planet or in a James Bond movie. Thanks for showing us Alaska and the amazing progress you've made to your home there. Peace, love and happy holidays.

"Pretty Cool". The understatement of 2021.

[@mjgbabydragonlet]

It has been ages since I was in Alaska, but I remember using a multifuel Onan/Cummings generator. I loved the multiple fuel options (gas, diesel, LP) Since it covered all of the options for keeping it running. It never really froze up because the cookstove's hot water coil was extended and it looped through the generator's concrete pad. It was a pain to drain the system of all of the water when no one was going to be present to tend the fire... the stove was a true antique, running off of coal, wood, or LP gas. I know my uncle wanted to add the pellet option to the cook stove. But Coal was fairly cost effective, even in Alaska, or was... I truly miss the majesty of Alaska. Thank you for sharing your adventures here on KZbin. I get to live vicariously through your videos! Merry Christmas! I hope 2022 is even better!

Thanks for sharing your Alaskan experience. I love the state and it’s wilderness but never got to go visit it.
