Getting Away From It All | Snowmachine Ride

[@betpatpatten3840]

Thanks for the snowmobile ride! It reminds me of our family trips in the 70s and 80s. Winter like this is fun when you’re young, but not so when you’re old and can’t go out and enjoy it. Have fun kids!!!

[@karen6778]

That looked like fun! You guys should build an air bnb and offer “the Alaskan experience” for people. You could offer a package where guests can help out in your garden, or with canning, fishing, or do eco tours, etc ☺️☺️☺️ give other people (like me) the opportunity to live a day in your life whilst contributing towards your means of living. Ok it’s a silly idea, especially if you are completely content how you are. Xx loving your channel!!!

[@missrosethiessen9487]

Karen helfand, that's a great idea

[@barbjam2219]

Nope! Don't like the idea. People like it, until they don't, then the complaints and whining start. Eric & Arielle are living their best life in "Eden", no need to take on problems.

[@Loesters]

So you're getting away from the getting away from it all. That is double awesomeness. Meanwhile the world: in lock down. This video is a wonderful breath of life, thank you!! 🏆🧚‍♀️

[@tornfeather1]

Lock down? Go outside

[@PrathapSara]

You people have a calming effect on me. I come to your channel to ease of my depression. Love you guys.

[@eeriks1]

You have to go faster and not ease up on the throttle to avoid getting stuck in the snow. Tip from Sweden from someone who has made the same mistake!

[@Bamaman14k]

Wow that looked like a blast. I know y'all are having fun, I bet y'all can't wait for garden season. I can't wait to live vicariously through you again this growing season. Jimmy

[@athloneduke]

Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪, making self isolation fun, stay safe

[@JamesJones-pt9cz]

athloneduke 🍀👍

[@coloradopackratprepper]

I think yall got out of the lower 48 just in time 💞💞💞💞

[@ernabueing4250]

Thank you for the nice ride, I didn't mind the cold that much either.............great day you guys. Thank you

[@mister-action1]

If I were still young I would be right there with you. In Alaska that is. I love the freedom you have going and all that wilderness.

[@bridgescwr6136]

Don't get lost out there....nice machine...The Goldwing of snow machines!!!! enjoy

[@ignaciaforteza7731]

Yes indeed, your ride at breakfast time for me just gives me the strength to believe in freedom and happiness. I have said it before, love ya, keep safe!

[@straubdavid9]

That certainly looked like a blast. Lots of moose I see ... the drone footage of the cow and calf was very cool. That's what it's all about living in Alaska ...... have fun you two.

[@DeanJohnson67]

glad to see you guys are not in lock down mode!! where I'm at as of 5PM today in my state were only allowed to go outside for exercise, food or emergencies! Wondering if Walleye Fishing could count as exercise ;) --- the next 3 weeks are prime time for the year :/ --- hmmm perhaps ride my bike to/from the fishing spot :)

[@kingrafa3938]

Looks fun going in the mountains with a beautiful view.

[@muinmdw]

Your lead machine should use a hand signal when stopping. The brake light can often get covered in snow and when you are site seeing while riding the hand movement can often be seen before noticing the machine in front is slowing down,. In Maine we call them snow machines, snowmobiles, or sleds.

[@claireleboucher4597]

Nice to see you enjoy the day

[@Jeff_MT09]

Sure looked like awesome fun! New snowmobile looks like a good purchase. Congratulations. The scenery is lovely. Cheers, Jeff 👍😀🏠🦌

[@patstix1851]

You have an inspiring channel. My wife and I enjoy the content. We think you portray genuine teamwork and common direction in your relationship. That type of thing resonates with us. You are attractive but don't exploit it in any manner. We canned food from our garden for the first time after your canning series late last summer. We are now hunkered down riding out the corona in our remote cabin in NH. Your 30 days challenge helped us plan out the next 60 days we will stay in isolation. We are well stocked and ready in part and completely randomly due to you. Stay safe. We look forward to more videos in this time of isolation.

[@saskiaseaglass9504]

Love that you take us along for the snowmachine ride. Something I would probably (definitely) never do otherwise! Only seen snow a handful of times ever. Cool music choice

[@danamama6766]

love how you call them snow machines. Watching made me feel like I was getting away from it all too :) and the moose wow. thank you

[@japnuts]

Ya never heard anyone around here call them that. And in Canada where I’m from (small town) it’s very popular.

[@warroad]

@@japnuts Read about that, snowmachines is the term in Alaska as "snowmobiles" is thought of as sissy. Snowmachines seems sissy to me. Never heard them called that in Minnesota or anywhere.

[@campbellj20]

@@warroad I'm from MN and now live in AK. It was hard for me to get used to buy now saying snowmobile sounds weird. Anytime I talk to my dad and say snowmachine, he loses his mind.😅

[@MikeSheasheaDtree]

@@japnuts I first heard the term while reading this book "Call of the American Wild: A Tenderfoot's Escape to Alaska" which I highly recommend ! A great read.

[@grantshepherd9087]

yeah it's cute. here in ontario we always call them snowmobiles

[@jungleno.]

I love the smell of 2-stroke oil in the morning! Was hoping to see Ariel do donuts in the front yard.😃

[@chrisjohnson2569]

Well who knew i'd be going for snowmobile ride this morning! Thank you for the mental getaway! As always love the aerial shots, well all the footage, honestly. Hottest, hehe, I "get" you, here in Minnesota, that's shorts weather. Have fun!

[@ss4jarmon]

Enjoy all your vids. Snow looks so good. My area of northwest Florida hit 86°f yesterday.

[@mademoisellekaya1438]

Thank you so much for getting out there.. that truly made me sigh of relief for a brief moment... Stay safe, healthy and sane everybody...

[@mtevilone]

I used to be a snowmobile guide. Getting paid to play. Spring snow is the worst for getting stuck, most of the time you do not have to dig it out. If you stand on the uphill running board and lean away from the machine, you can ride right out.

[@jyma2011]

(Du Canada) Quel beau souvenir de mon 1er Skidoo Bombardier 1968 ! Merci pour cette randonnée en pleine nature.

[@PaullaWells]

Nice little trip. Thanks for taking us along with you! Beautiful country! I can't wait to see some of the same places when the snow is gone. It always amazes me how very different, but yet still so beautiful Alaska is when the snow melts.

[@susanfry6517]

Thanks for taking me away !!

[@travisleiske204]

Hello Ariel and Eric are you tonight it's awesome to see you guys out together snowmobiling and there is an a cool Gadget is called snow Benji and it can help you guys get out of stuck areas and it's actually works really well I thought it was a stupid idea but it is actually very cool idea it's like a bungee broke but you use it with on this one skis when you get stuck and you Ariel you're doing awesome very very awesome glad to see you arriving and Eric are doing awesome to I'm a die-hard snowmobiler you're doing great you guys love the pictures keep up the good work God bless

[@torillyna9258]

You two are just my favourite calming down people..greetings from Norway :-D

[@graniteridgegreens6278]

Man that brings back off grid memories on our 46 acres, some fun in the snow on some decent scenic trails. Cheers and TY

[@joharmon2148]

What a wonderful fun day you guys had. The music was great and the drone footage is always so wonderful. Seeing the elk was a bonus. Take care.

[@gilliantempleton3253]

for your doggies, green mussel extract or flax seed oil. helps with painful joints

[@pumptruckjim]

Great video as usual guys. Great to see your running two sleds. More fun for both and safer too. Stay well in these troubling times.

[@dawndawn6946]

Good morning, guys! I spent yesterday picking strawberries and gardening. ☀️ Y’all make snow and cold look so FUN! That thumbnail is so funny! Great video and views, and check out all these comments! Best to you all.💗

[@marlenekutcher938]

We call the the grey jays Whiskey Jacks in some parts of the north here in Ontario. Nice sunny day to be out.

[@smoochmcguire5291]

That’s a lot of fun playing in the snow

[@glengillis7542]

Nice to see you snowmobile as well. Its my favorite winter activity. Nothing stops you. Water is frozen and no Mud to get stuck. Helmets are safe and keep your head warm. Try them Those old Ski Doos are not the best mountain sled. Short tracks and small engine have a hard time but make OK trail sleds. That Polaris will serve you well. Their sleds are better than their OHVs. JMHO

[@susanmccormick9645]

Beautiful, you 2 r very blessed.

[@nickjowers6606]

Good to see the fire wood I cut is still there. Gotta love having places like that just in case something happens.

[@CJ-uw9zk]

Love grey Jays. We go camping a lot here in Newfoundland, they'll come down and steal food off our bbq or tables when we're cooking. They're so curious.

[@JamesJones-pt9cz]

Nice to see u all out enjoying the day, u are the most hard working young couple, bet it felt fantastic to just take a day for yourself. I enjoyed watching u too have fun, check out an old trappers cabin. Love the snowmobiles, probably a definite priority there in Alaska. I hope and pray that all is safe there, in the lower 48 it getting rough. I had a limit of buying only one gallon of milk, won't sell me too. Hope this virus spares u Alaskans, stay safe u too.

[@davidasimkosr4641]

Out in the Bush having fun !

[@enjoyingthejourneycanceras2355]

Well you guys looked like you were having fun

[@patrizias9340]

WhooHoo!! That was so beautiful and so much fun. Thanks for the ride.

[@mmemumu4604]

Love your music.....

[@hardenmama1800]

Very cool ride! Beautiful scenery! Thank you for sharing.

[@ladyofthemasque]

"It's really hot today!" at 30F (-1C) Only someone that far north would think that!! XDD ...Though to be fair, I thought 52F (11C) was teeshirt weather when I was visiting Melbourne in Australia for WorldCon in 2010; I got the funniest looks from the locals as they huddled in their puffy down coats and I was walking along in my shortsleeved teeshirt! (Briskly, but still, too hot for my coat by that point--that is what you get when a Seattleite acclimates for two weeks in stormy Melbourne weather, and then the weather warms by 8F degrees.)

[@douggibson9084]

Gray Jay, Whiskey Jack. Great views

[@AlmostHomestead]

Awesome trip guys. That snow machine looks like a nice addition to the fleet. Haha! And the safety factor of a backup snow machine is great. What a treat to see all of those moose. Thanks for the ride.

[@tomassmith2912]

Thanks for sharing this most excellent adventure. The music for this video was great. Who selects your music selections?

[@SimpleLivingAlaska]

Tomas Smith this video Eric chose the music :)

[@loreneknight9755]

I thought the music was a little loud. Why have music @ all. Love the "natural" sounds. You guy's are living the dream. Save & healthy life 2 u 2.

[@kimbergquist3628]

Loved watching your adventure, views were gorgeous. Stay well you two!! 😊🌻

[@doodle6166]

Loving the music!

[@joeysmith1853]

Howdy from north Missouri. Beautiful place up there awesome video thanks for taking us along.

[@beeamerica5024]

That look like so much fun love the old line Shack and at least you don't have to worry about hitting bear spots LOL🐝👍

[@johnmccormick175]

Beautiful countryside and looks like great fun!

[@boboallan1]

Gorgeous sunny day to play!

[@tj-kv6vr]

Such GREAT individuals. We need more like them.

[@tammysmith6421]

That looks like so much fun, I haven't been on a snow mobile in many many years

[@nancyjean266]

A welcome treat.. Thank you

[@patring620]

Enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing your outing.

[@thomasschauss6429]

Nice snow machine

[@agnestakacs2059]

Such a cool adventure. Alaska is gorgeous!

[@MisJaxon]

Such beautiful landscape.

[@shellicameron408]

Beautiful Video great Job congratulations on the new machine

[@phof4593]

I enjoyed your video. Simple and shows a different way of life than mine - by a lot. Be safe and continue to enjoy the simple things.

[@kenshores9900]

Good adventure.

[@thewanderingpatriot]

You guys sure have some nice toys...

[@kellybryson7754]

That looks like a lot of work!

[@goldprounlimited1750]

Fun Fun !! Thanks for sharing!!

[@janetpaulsen195]

It’s amazing how you know your way around that area. It looks like it would be easy to get lost

[@highenergyog]

Your channel should be named - Living the dream life in Alaska. When I was much younger not parents decided to move south to the city , 50 + years later and I'm still disappointed at their choice. ( Still love them both lol ). Stay healthy and safe, best regards as always from Lloyd way over here in Ontario Canada.

[@locksbog4270]

Lots of fun, stay safe! 👍😃✌️

[@markscrim]

Great photog. Action! Hot coffee. Moose’s. Snow machine calamity and better yet, no Corvid-19 worries. Spring? What Spring? 💨🥶🥽

[@arcrival3801]

The thumbnail is the best 😂

[@ChrisBogle]

Kids with their toys...Love it! In Canada its mandatory to wear helmets!! Great scenery. Cabin looks like a good hunt camp come moose season😊

[@arnelwilson2626]

You guys are having tooooooo much fun

[@dalecybulskie7242]

Considering the low miles on your Skidoo,and the fact that,that model was designed for two up riding and the moderate speeds you seem to be traveling at,I was surprised to hear the back suspension is bottoming out.There should be some sort of a supplied wrench in the tool kit in the under hood tool box that will allow you to stiffen up the rate of the rear springs so they don't bottom out.The method for doing this would be in the owners manual and if you don't have it,I'm sure you can find a demo on KZbin.Hope this helps!👍😃

[@SimpleLivingAlaska]

Dale Cybulskie great info I will look into that!

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

Someone has a new toy🤘 That’s awesome. Nice score off the neighbor.

[@buddyduncan2095]

Looked like soooooo much fun

[@saa8458]

Love the overhead shots, I got a bit seasick watching this LOL.

[@thecrystalcastle7841]

Looks so fun!

[@jessietica]

Thank you for the video. It was godsent!

[@JamesCouch777]

Love seeing y'all out there having fun. Hopefully things will not affect you up there 👍

[@nancy4994]

Have fun.......you"re both amazing

[@0004612]

I sure miss snowmobiling, but it is strange watching this on my porch with the temperature at 108 in Tucson. The only thing I miss about Minnesota.

[@DigitalArchmage]

RIP my ears. Headphones were on louder than I knew, and the beginning "woooop" got me (and startled me a lot, tbh).

[@colinwoods8430]

When you get stuck make sure to pack down the front and the sides as much as you can it will help you to get out easier.

[@paulineparker3662]

It's been in the 80's here, if it was 30 I'd be in the house wrapped in a blanket in front of the heater. It does look like fun though. Take care

[@geneshade9075]

Looks fun!

[@notagain8661]

Looks like you need to adjust the rear on that Polaris. It's bouncing up and down more then a pogo stick! 🙃

[@TINKtheTANK]

Y’all are so fun!!

[@yasminghani2073]

Beautiful

[@Tater79bj]

What a kick in the butt good time 🤘

[@Orthcrmt]

I wish I was up there where you guys are for all this craziness

[@fitz3540]

Holy crap, I've been there!

[@carolparrish194]

I love the music! What is it? The filming id great. You kids be safe. I would be worried about getting stuck out in nowhere.

[@SimpleLivingAlaska]

carol parrish it is Hunter Quinn- Fiddler's Barn

[@savvy1803]

It appears you have added a second snow machine to your arsenal , luv the vid and hope your'e both in the pink :) .

[@Zenkaz967]

Very cool🥰
