Omg Audrey in the intro!!!!! 🥺🥺🥺 ❤️❤️💕

[@erindixon2877]

We live in rural Nebraska and we can get snowed in in the winter or mudded in in the Spring or Summer. We keep a rotating pantry and have 2 stand up freezers for frozen foods/meats. All of this was a big blessing in 2020.

[@jenniferneitzel5408]

Audrey is the purest soul. So wise and so sweet.

[@bethholmes555]

I think everyone should be prepping. So many different things could happen even a personal emergency not to mention a national emergency and prepping could be a game changer. I would very much appreciate seeing the lists you use/used as well as some of your "Survival" gear. The northern lights video was beautiful. Hope Bert's ankle is ok and doesn't cause him any grief.

[@ednajohnson8771]

That everyone be prepared in case we have an emergency

[@FruitsandflowersBeaumont]

Agree, and people wouldn't go suddenly to the stores in the same time when something bad happens

[@ciadaclark9110]

How grown up Audrey is now from when y'all first started I love all the kids thank u for taking us along.hod bless the Somers family

[@kristensmith7569]

Northern lights were beyond beautiful! Can't imagine what is actually like in person

[@juliecarr1780]

I could watch the northern lights every night.

[@LifeWithMrsB]

Me too!

[@westtexas1225]

Me three!!!! 💕❤

[@albertlilly]

Can you show us how you rotate the shorter terms foodstuffs, and how you are able to be able to trust the long-term stuff?

[@ChiefsGirlSince1989]

It's easy to rotate you put the newly purchased items behind the older items. I do it twice a week where I work.

[@earthstar7534]

I rotate once a year. I pull all of my short term out and inventory it and restock. Soonest to expire goes in the front. I am lucky enough to have two pantry spaces so I have my working pantry and storage pantry. Short term storage is good for a year or more so you can get away with rotating once or twice a year. You have to inventory it anyway to restock so its a good opportunity to rotate. As far as the long term storage, its made to store like that. Its why its more expensive.

[@melissapeter2786]

WOOHOO you finally captured the Northern Lights awesome... y'all I finally had an answer to my prayer my daughter left her abusive husband... Now all she needs is a restraining order and a divorce... Could you all please pray for protection for us and healing for her. Her husband's on drugs and he's threatened to burn the house down with us in it... My daughter loves her husband but she just can't take it anymore she told me she says mom I have too big of a heart... She has three small children from a previous relationship and he has been keeping her from them I've been taking care of them and so has my mother.. Please pray for us .

[@JW99736]

Prayers said! 🙏🙌

[@michellem7140]

Am I the only one who cried at the footage? No? Okay 🥺🥰

[@jessiemeyers5525]

I cried too!🤣

[@laurieshumaker9289]

I cried seeing those Northern Lights too.

[@desireefell3110]

Hello from Colorado! I so wished we lived in Alaska though haha. ☺️ You guys have a beautiful family!

[@dianapickering6891]

My daughter buys all kinds of wheat and grinds her own flour. She makes breads, cakes, brownies, etc.

[@lynnmartinez6122]

Audrey's intro was fantastic... what a cutie!! I had a little excitement this afternoon as my Order from you finally arrived!! Whoo hoo!! Love the beanie... its very warm and comfy! And the head band as well... I Love the colors! Thank you so very much!! The Northern Lights were phenomenal... thx for sharing.... seeing them in person is on my bucket list!!

[@clcl0927]

I would love to see a video on the wheat that you were talking about. Like all the uses and everything. Like how to use what you put in storage not just this is what we stored kinda video.

[@vikkigillespie732]

Wow the northern lights were beautiful. Thanks for sharing this.💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@lisabottorff873]

Asking for all the happy people pray for me in healing and that my move goes smoothly. Please and thank you! 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

The Northern Lights video was absolutely amazing!

[@pamelacougill8864]

I got my first shot on Monday!!!!

[@debbiehawley1278]

Audrey looks so much like Berts mother, just beautiful.

[@nicolettedorfling9788]

Audrey is so adorable when she begin the video!! 💕

[@michellepugh77]

I always heard: eat what you buy, buy what you eat. Even long storage you may need to eat it and and then replace it. Never buy what you will not eat, cause it will not benefit you.

[@kayamo1632]

That’s a bucket list thing for me. I want a week-long trip to see the northern lights. I realize I could plan the whole thing, travel to the destination and see nothing. I still want to do it.

[@Gardendreamsforme]

Your powdered milk is perfectly fine because you saved it perfectly. Good job!

[@annemariewalker6334]

Northern lights are truly amazing....God is good!!! 👍👍👍😚🐕🐶🐾😁🇺🇸

[@alisachamberlen7218]

Good morning from the UK 3.38am. Amazing footage of the Northern Lights ☺️ x

[@candacedavis2111]

Yeah, new vlog! Been trying to watch all of your old logs from 5-6 years ago, the kiddos have grown up so much!

[@haley6881]

Your hair looks amazing i would love to see a hair and makeup tutorial from you if you haven’t done one already

[@WayfaringStranger56]

Wow, those Northern Lights! The Heavens do INDEED declare the Glory of God! Can you just imagine what Heaven is going to be like, child of God?? Loved your music on this video. And Audrey, your opening was such a blessing. Your lil light SHINES, girl! Love, Sis Maria in NC

[@anastasiakrafcik8413]

When you said you guys had northern light footage I was so excited. Upon seeing them, I instantly cried. It was a beautiful and magical sight. ❤️

[@jennifermclean8021]

Hi, I was wondering how do y'all keep the pipes from freezing and bursting in such cold Alaska temperature?

[@paulatristan8189]

Incredible northern lights !! 😀👍🏼🎉

[@aprilchamberlain1677]

Oh my, you finally got them! The northern lights are awesome!! That was gorgeous!! Thank you for sharing!

[@lorinewgard2476]

I have seen northern lights many times…one time they were red…very rare to see them red.

[@rebeccapettifer6553]

You are so blessed! Have only seen them once and I'm almost 70.

[@terry1496]

Thank you for the northern lights footage! So beautiful 😊

[@tatyanamcnamee9285]

Here's to show you how God's beauty is so amazing love the northern lights 💚💚 thank you for sharing your family with us.

[@lisapavlescak1708]

I would definitely love to know more about what dry goods are useful in.

[@fredroland6011]

Is it really crawl space when you can stand up in it???

[@starshine3248]

Looks like a basement to me

[@jean8180]

Beautiful footage, they are breathtaking. It makes me homesick just watching them. Hard to explain how awesome it is to stand under them. Pictures that show them in a distance, just don't capture the magic. Thank you!!!

[@MommieOfthree]

I live in Texas and I started my preparing journey about 9 months ago. The freeze taught me a lot. I’d love to help in any future videos about lessons learned from that freeze here for you southern audiences. I never want anyone to go through that again.

[@westtexas1225]

We are in El Paso and the storm spared us but destroyed many houses going East!! I would love to hear your tips. We dont have a basement in our house (we live near the Rio Grande!). In 2011, our area froze creating havoc with every house here!! Thousands of houses had water pipes burst! The construction companies use stucco siding which doesnt insulate well!! We bought a brick home built in 1978 which was built to be sturdy!! I'm concerned about storing. We have a garage but it's not temp controlled. Where do you recommend storage if there is no basement?

[@keithl2110]

@@westtexas1225 in not in Texas while I wish the best possible to all there! I'm in North Dakota and can give some tips if you want them?

[@westtexas1225]

@@keithl2110 Would love to hear your experiences!

[@SmFinley2000K]

You are one fortunate family to have all theses extras for emergencies, that and also having the room to store it all .

[@stephaniechavez9422]

vacuumed sealed powered milk can be kept from 2 to 10 years. i lived in california north and south for 53 years. i've lived through 3 7.0+ earthquakes. i always lived in an apartment and and there was little storage but i stored canned foods as much as i could. believe me, it's not just covid. if you are ever in a big earthquake you're not running to the grocery store. so people need to be aware of what events happen in their state that would keep them from venturing out of the house.

[@LifeWithMrsB]

That cracked me up when you had to dig the grill out 😂😂

[@dushy09]

It's better if you can keep the camera steady. Too much walking and movement makes it difficult to watch.

[@sherryschneider323]

That wheat should be ok! Sniff it and you will know.

[@LillyoftheValleyAZ]

Thank you for the Northern lights!

[@tommarshall333]

Wheat last forever. They even found some in a tomb in the Middle East and they made bread with 2000 yr old wheat.

[@catherine-wyestael-9427]

One thing I would love to hear about long-term storage is WATER. My husband and I are moving to our own little piece of land at the end of the year and want to do a rain catchment system. We'll also have a well and I'd love to hear how you have your well situated in case of extended power loss.

I’m a prepper girl myself. You just never know what might happen. Especially now a day.

[@elainehollinger6369]

This was the 18th or 19th? I was at a retreat in Big Lake AK and heard that the lights were out! Sadly I am not good about staying awake when they're out =( So glad that you were able to get such great footage of them to share with everyone. There is just something so special about experiencing the Arouras.

[@kerrypapworth1526]

Oh my goodness the Northern Lights were just remarkable, thank you 💕💕

[@colleenm3012]

Thank you for passing along the long term storage information. I started expanding our long-term storage 3 years ago. It was a blessing last year. More over, I was able to help some neighbors early on in the pandemic.

[@bholder2675]

The Northern Lights were absolutely amazing... thank you so much for sharing!

[@amyperkins4349]

Oh my gosh! I need to know where to get that hair cutting dome for my boys!

[@leighkoza256]

“Haven’t had a grill in a hot minute” made me laugh. I thought cold minute more appropriate. Also, I was wondering what the longest time is that you have gone without grocery deliveries.

[@eileensimpson3725]

We live in Washington State and sometimes we get to see a hint of northern lights, but your footage is just pure amazing. Thank you for posting that for all of us.

Hi what part of Washington State are you in ? I am in WA state as well. I am near Gig Harbor.
