Oh Boy! They're Back! Bears on the Prowl / Oxtail Soup Recipe @ Remote Alaska Cabin

[@christophervogt7456]

You've really touched me Alone. Yes, unfortunately our time with our fur babies is limited. It's been difficult. Thank you for caring. Really enjoyed this video. Can't wait to see what those trail cameras capture!

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Chris I am aware of that feeling when you lose a fur baby! I have gone through it but I have never had such a close companion like Kenai! I sob like a baby sometimes when I hear about others going through it because I will too someday! I end up giving Kenai a big hug and kisses. He doesn't know why but he likes it! It is amazing the pull they have on you! Unconditional love at it finest! And you can bet if I catch anything on the cameras, I will show it! Thank you so much Chris!

[@MichiganSilverBack]

beautiful pics and editing. I love to watch this channel, it is so calming.

[@candaceaustin4258]

I love watching you and beautiful Alaska. I miss her so much. Thank you

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Candace! Alaska misses you! Hurry back! 😉🧡

[@PandJsHomesteadAdventure]

We were going to say hang the camera by the pond, but you already said that idea LOL Your oxtail soup looked hearty and deicious! We love mushroom foraging great free food !

[@cindycarroll104]

Ox tail soup is excellent for a great meal. Crackers are good and so is biscuits. Yes the bears are bad everywhere please be careful 🙏 where your living with the tall trees. Special thank you for that gentleman for giving you the cameras. God bless you

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Yes ox tail soup is amazing! I love it! Commenters have said it cans very well too but I end up eating it all In Alaska, I saw for the first time, Sailor Boy Pilot Crackers and they are so good! Just a nice big round cracker! John in Alaska KZbin channel sent me the game trail cameras! He really is a sweetheart. With those cameras and my security cameras, I may get some really nice footage of what's around me! As for the bears! This is why I always carry a side arm when I go outside! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZuai2ilgryof7c Thank you so much Cindy!

[@priszorn]

The highlight of my day is snuggling with our dogs. 🐕 ❤

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

The best form of unconditional love there is! Dogs (and some cats) just want your attention! Kenai snuggles and cuddles. He thinks he is a teacup poodle though! 🤣

[@marinajebb2999]

Soda bread is an easy option…. If you make your own butter the butter milk is perfect for soda bread. New to your blog and loving it. Very inspirational… our fur babies are so precious, every day we have with them is a blessing. 🙏

That Ox Tail Soup looks Amazing 🤩 Thank you for your inspirational channel

[@44251]

That look your Lab gave you just before you we’re about to eat your food bought back memories of my old buddy. Their never with us long enough.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

I think its hypnotism of some sort because Kenai will give me those puppy dogs eyes and he ends up eating half my dinner sometimes We get our pet companions knowing they will pass before we will. We know that day will come when they are no longer around. And we still do it! Because they are worth it! Best unconditional love anyone could ever experience! Thank you so much Jack!

[@Christa.]

those are beautiful mushrooms. I'm a big picker , so amazing those ones you found !

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Oh yeah! When I first saw them I was hoping they were edible. Edible and yummy! Next year I do plan on doing a lot more harvesting on my property. I've been pretty lucky with berries too! Thank you so much Christa! 😉🧡

I lost my 15 yr old chihuahua 3 weeks ago. It was so sad and knowing that she was with me for 15 wonderful and precious yrs and my life was so blessed to have shared he life and she had the very best life.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Ahh I am so sorry Denise! 😌 15 years was a great run and it sounds like you spoiled her rotten. We always get companion pets knowing we will out live them. We owe them the best life we can give for all that unconditional love they return. Again I am truly sorry for your loss! 😪🧡

[@jojoFranklin]

Watching from Worcester (UK). I love your channel - it is so authentic & always beautifully presented. … You’re pronunciation of Worcestershire is spot on although hereabouts we simply call it Worcester Sauce.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Hello Joanna! Thank you so much and I am so happy you are enjoying my channel! As for the pronunciation of Worcestershire, a fellow subscriber "Yanks and Brits" loved to give me a hard time about how I said it in an earlier video so I made sure I said it correctly on this one! 😁 But don't you worry, I watched his videos and had to correct him too on certain words 🤭 We all have a good time in the comment section! 😉🧡

I'm so glad to see this soup. We grew up this way and it can be healthy for you. Keep up the Great work and be aware out there. I myself carry a gun when I go out. You never know Bears are sneaky.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Ox tail soup is absolutely delicious! It is my favorite soup. Hard to describe to some people how awesome it is. I ALWAYS carry when I go outside and this is why kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZuai2ilgryof7c Thank you so much Susan!

[@deborahjones6066]

Really enjoyed this video =) I'm going to try ox tails because of this dinner you prepared, it looked so good! Yes, the time with our 4 legged family members is very short. Love and cherish every moment of unconditional love and joy.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Ahh thank you Deborah! Be careful with Oxtail soup though! Its addictive! The absolute unconditional love we get from our pets has to be returned to them everyday. Kenai is a spoiled rotten brat and deserves every bit of it! He is my companion and my shadow! Thank you so much Deborah! 🧡🤗💚

I think its amazin, havin wildlife just around the corner! Guess thats life living in the wilderness :) You are a lucky woman. And all those wonderfull gifts you recieve every week! Amazin! Dont take it for granted :)

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

The wildlife is fantastic here! It just shows how far away I am the more I see! I feel like I am living my dream life! The gifts are truly generous. In this time when everyone is paying more for groceries and gas, I am very humbled by it all. Thank you so much Marit!

[@jackieburnett6881]

Please be careful! I am not saying you are not capable nor to offend you. It is just the mothering nature I have being 72! Lol! Glad you have cameras and it would be a good idea to have them the way you said on the other trail. There’s so many places definitely where you have buildings and near the water because they have to have that to survive. I’m so sorry when I hear of anyone loosing their fur babies! Definitely when you have them give them an abundance of love nurturing them. The colors are bursting everywhere! Beautiful! Ty for sharing these wonderful parts of your life! The recipe sounds delicious

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

I could never take offense to someone telling me to be careful. I really do appreciate that! And I take nothing for granted out here. I know my property has wild animals everywhere and that pond is a major attraction for them. I always check my security cameras and physically look out all my windows before stepping out. And always step out with my side arm. Sometimes when I am walking and filming, I have my hand around the grip, just in case! Losing a pet companion is devastating. They are always by your side and then one day they aren't. It's a huge adjustment to make. Their unconditional love has a way of pulling at your heart strings when they are alive! So when they are gone, it's a deeper loss. Now that the colors are starting to change, I will try and get as much of that on video as I can! I love watching it all change and soon....it will start snowing again! It truly is an honor to have you along for my journey Jackie! Oh and try the recipe out! The first time I tried it I was hooked! Thank you so much!

[@rusticlogcabinlife9443]

Always love your videos. We all have bears that come right next to our house but we all don't have grizzlies like you do. We all just have to be careful. I'm sure glad you carry a gun. Give Kenai a hug and a kiss for me again. Thankyou. I spend a lot of time with my dog. I love dogs. Your soup sure looks delicious. Did Kenai get some? Love how your directing people in a plane. Love the Kenai ending too. Take care and God Bless you and Kenai always

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

I know I have bears (tracks) but have yet to see one! Maybe I will catch one on video or on a trail camera. I figure I will see one at one of my windows someday probably while I am cooking something. I have my guns surrounding me inside and always carry outside! And of course Kenai got some of the soup! More than his fair share! I cant resist his puppy dog eyes! I gave Kenai your hug and kiss. I always do when people ask me too. Kenai may not know why, but he enjoys them! My life seems to revolve around Kenai and I don't mind that at all! Yeah that plane attendant bit was kind of messed up because I rarely have been on a plane. Thank you so much Lisa!

Another lovely episode. I love the choice of music you use to accompany the segments. My goodness so gorgeous! I too have just started baking bread. I used Jenny Can Cook, you tube, fast no knead homemade bread. I halved the recipe, letting it rise in a cool whip container and then sprinkling a bit of flour in a large mixing bowl for the folding...no waste no mess and plenty of bread for the week. Jenny uses a Dutch oven, but I use a ceramic loaf pan with tinfoil for my toaster oven or a cast iron pan with lid over coals or stove top. I don't own a Dutch oven. I like the heels for soup and the middle for sandwiches. It's fast, easy and a good bread to have in your repoitoire.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

So happy you are enjoying my videos Elle! Thank you for the KZbin recommendation! I subbed her channel right away! I will definitely check her videos out soon! You really should get a dutch oven Elle! They are amazing! I don't normally eat too much bread but I would like to know how to make all kinds for whatever occasion. Great idea on the heels for soups! Too bad you can only get two! (technically) I am pretty sure that once I learn how to bake bread, it will be a more common part of my meals! Thank you so much Elle!

Hello Kim! A Siberian train ride would be awesome! WOW! I know Siberia is one of the coldest places on earth and I do love the cold weather but it may be just a tad over my limit! 😁 Like you said, America is the best place to be for sure! Thank you so much Kim! 🤗🧡

[@creativelauri]

My dad always made oxtail soup with some variety of white beans or kidney beans and I loved it. I pretty much stopped eating meat around 9 though. I remember just loving that soup. I think my dad would love your version a lot. I'll have to make it for him. It looked really good! I bet the mushrooms really gave it a wonderful, earthy taste. Great job in repairing your stove!

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Ox tail soup is my favorite soup. The mushrooms were awesome! If you make it for your dad, he will love it! I think the soup alone is great so you could at least eat that! Thank you so much Lauri! 🧡🤗💚

[@brendakilberg5727]

Your pond is lovely! Do you think there might be fish in it? Bears ... I'm glad you can defend yourself. Enjoy every moment of the great outdoors before the cold dark days of winter settle in. Take care 🙂

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

The pond is not on my property unfortunately! At least it is super close. The previous owners have said there are no fish in it BUT Mother Nature has her ways. Maybe I will put a game trail camera on the pond itself to see if it catches any fish jumping! Winter is definitely right around the corner! I love winter time! Well...... more so now that my roof has been replaced! Thank you so much Brenda!

[@wendycayless]

Loved this video. As another Aussie suggested, try making damper. Quick and easy. Wooster sauce is how its pronounced. Tip for everyone- add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to garlic butter for garlic bread.

Damper bread is on my list! And wooster sauce in garlic butter for garlic bread?! Awesome pro tip Wendy! I wish I could eat garlic and try that! Thank you so much!

[@sitioeb]

There is this young couple that have a channel "Simple Living Alaska". They have been in Alaska for about 4-5 years. The husband Eric on one of the lastest blogs where he bought a fitting from Amazon to go on one of your propane tank about a 10 gallon and he was able to refill the disposable stove canister and when he refilled about 5 to 10 of them the fitter paid for itself. The ones he was refilling were the dark green ones. Just watching their blogs I have learned so much and I don't even live in Alaska!! If you haven't found them and their channel I highly recommend them to you. They love fishing and hunting. They tell about where you can go dip netting for salmon and which kind of salmon. How to smoke it and how to can them. They also show you how to bake on the wood stove. And they are fun to watch. I am new to your channel so I have been binge watching trying to catch up. I have really enjoyed your blog. I live vicariously through you and admit I admire you for pulling up your stakes and moving. I can't take the cold like I use to but as I said I am living vicariously through your life! So thanks for taking me a long for the ride! May God blessed you and keep you and your fur baby safe.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

I do know of Eric and Arielle's channel. I have been following them since they first moved (drove) to Alaska. It was fun watching them build up that property. They are moving closer to me now. I know exactly where they are. Very nice area and a bit too pricey for me! 😉 I have that propane filler. Actually I have three of them. And they work awesome! The places to go dip netting are very well known out here. They are places that everyone in Alaska goes too 🤣 Yeah too many people for me! I am going to try a fish wheel! Now baking on a wood stove (with cast iron) is a specialty of mine! There is nothing quiet like cooking with cast iron! Somehow it just makes everything taste better! 😉 My dream of living in Alaska goes back so many years (decades even) so when I had my chance, I took it! No hesitations at all! It is an honor to have you along for my journey here Rebecca! You live vicariously through my channel and I promise you wont have to shovel snow or be cold! 🤣 Thank you so much! 🤗🧡

I can only dream of living in Alaska it is so beautiful but the conditions are very harsh and it requires lots of preparation for the long winters! Did you ever think about getting a bigger stove and a tank of cooking gas which would also be a source of heating if needed? Just a thought! Take care I'm praying for your safety! Good by my friend stay safe!

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

@@margaretlarriva4573 Ahhh thank you kindly Margaret! I see it as more stubbornness and desire to live this life The winters here are about as bad as they can get short of being in Antarctica! But that is what I love most about Alaska. As for a bigger stove, I do plan on getting a larger wood cook stove so it functions more like a stove with an oven. Just wood fueled. I do have a 300 gallon tank with heating oil that feeds the oil heater. Propane may be an option when I get my outdoor kitchen built too. For canning. It is an honor to have you along for my journey here Margaret! Thank you so much

I have learned so much from your videos. They are entertaining and informative.Thank You so much.Glad you were able to find information on mushrooms. Oxtail recipe looked so tasty perfect for fall. About greenhouse probably creatures are smelling burning and they are afraid. Being able to fix wood stove great. Your narrative voice perfect. Very heartfelt. Foreshadowing of u-haul. Wonderful how introduced at end. Until next time.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Thank you Josefa! If I can make my videos informative and entertaining then I have done what I set out to do! Glad you like the narrating because I always feel like I sound funny. But that's just me listening to myself. Fall is absolutely my most favorite time of year! Not just the colors changing but the nice cool air. Fewer bugs! And winter right around the corner! Which I love! The mushrooms are still a mystery for the most part but I was certain about these. But that ox tail soup is amazing! My favorite soup! As for the burning, since I do burn scraps of food, it could be like cooking. I have found shrews digging around in there. Take me a lot of time to get them out before I start the fire again. At least that's all outside! Glad you noticed the Uhaul! I see you have asked a question on the community post! Thank you so much Josefa!

[@MooseHenderson1]

A note about butane burners, butane does not work well below freezing so these are only good for heated spaces. However, they do sell an option with a propane attachment for the one pound propane canisters that are much better for cold areas (unheated spaces). Another well done video, great advice about taking classes to improve your video skills, I need to do them also.

Thanks, Moose, for the butane/propane tip. 👍

Happy Friday Alone! It's always good to see that you have a video for my pleasure! Well, Mishka has been here for 2 weeks. She is roaming the house all day while the dogs are crated and I'm at school. She provides no service if she spends her life locked in the bathroom, so I'm letting her hunt. The kids returned on Monday, and I'm been struggling with the pressure. I think my boss figured out today that I'm not doing well - because what he's been seeing is engaged kids who are working and learning. What I've been seeing is kids who are struggling with managing their emotions when I'm not fully theirs. Two of my kiddos I call the cling wrap twins. When I'm not with them, they have behaviors - and when I was in the room this afternoon, even though I wasn't directly interacting with them, they were able to behave. That's really rare on Friday afternoons. I had my kids make homemade pizza for a snack today - and they were SO excited. We topped the pizza with home canned banana pepper rings. I think I'm going to take a nap, and then do some laundry before falling into bed tonight. I'm good at what I'm doing, and the kids like knowing that I'm always going to be consistent. I think yesterday they realized that sometimes I can't handle my emotions any better than they can. Today was better. The pups were in my face yesterday because they realized I was not doing well - they are such good therapy for me. I've got to finish some preservation in the morning before I head to the farmer's market, and then I'm sure I'll be canning all afternoon. I'll have to ask my rancher about getting the oxtail when I get my next cow - eeks! That's only a month away! Hope your week is full of joy and blessings. I've been making all homemade baked goods for many years. Once you start, you'll never go back to eating store bought. I'm to the stage that I even make my own bagels - and yes, they get boiled before I bake them.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Good to hear your new kitty has been hunting! The dogs will learn who their new boss is eventually! Cats usually just have to slap a dogs nose one or twice and that's it! I have a lot of respect for teachers! That is just one job I could never do (in a classroom setting) but it sounds like you have everything under control. Sometimes they just need that authority figure in the room to keep them in line. And you are a teacher not a robot so showing emotion keeps the kiddos grounded. And making pizza always helps! You have to make it fun sometimes! Now taking a nap before going to bed sounds like my kind of fun! Dogs and cats know when something is wrong and they only have to do so little to make us feel better again! Kenai is the same way.

You could get some bread when you shop and cut it up, stick it in your freezer and take out pieces as you need them. Thats what we do with banquette and ciabatta

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

I have frozen bread in the past and I may do that. Or freeze dough. I really want to learn how to make it on the fly and without a bread maker machine. More old style. I don't eat bread that often either but with ox tail soup. Definitely! Thank you so much!

Hi Alone hope you are keeping well.That was a nice video you put out you want to be very sure of what mushrooms you eat or you might be taking a psychedelic trip.Your so right about losing our furry buddies too soon it really feels like you lost a family member.I guess your boy will be there shortly i am anxious to meet him,You take care of yourself and Kenai and looking forward to your next video bye bye for now.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Hello Jim! Kenai and I are doing fantastic! My son will be here soon with all my stuff! I can see my son, stop paying that storage fee and finally get a dresser to put all my clothes in!! As for the mushrooms, I was very sure on these. But I didn't let Kenai eat any. I believe the difference with our fur babies is they give us unconditional love! All we have to do is give them food, water and attention and they will be by your side without fail. When that's gone, we tend to feel that more. Thank you so much Jim!

* the oxtail barley soup looks yummy! Oh and I imagine the bread probably is more expensive.. everything in grocery store is so expensive since just a few months ago. I always eat oatmeal for breakfast on weekends and I was running low so bought more yesterday and ended up going to three stores before I even found any and it was almost 5 dollars for oatmeal!

Oh lady, I'm so jelly faced of you. Porcupine are rather destructive but are great eating. Bears are not the rolly polly creatures many believe they are. Your 10mm should be your EDC when outside. Ox tail soup is a welcome meal, nutritious and filling. There are many things that can go into it for a meal to satisfy even the most picky. I love the balsamic vinegar, going to be on the list for the next batch. It also cans very well, shelf stable food is a priority for me. You keep going lady, I'd say you're doing an astounding job.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

I have never eaten porcupine but I am not opposed to it. Anyone that thinks bears are rolly polly should watch this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZuai2ilgryof7c My 10MM is a better caliber for bears but I truly believe my 357 with hard cast ammo will do a good job if needed. That 10MM is always close by too! I love ox tail soup. It is my favorite. I can't can it though because I eat it too quickly! It's literally my dinner, breakfast and lunch until it is gone! AMAZING taste! Kenai loves it too! And thank you kindly James! I do appreciate that!

[@thomassmith1275]

thank you for the video. i absolutely love dogs. been 2 years this xmas i put my bestest friend down . i so miss him. i'm 55 now i'm thinking maybe i'll start looking again for a new bestest. i have some health issues is one reason i held off but i learned life is way to short and i still have room in my heart for one. Your soup looked delish. on a side note check out keeping it dutch he is out of arkansas , he is getting ready to install a masonary heater its a wood fireplace commonly found in europe . it works on radiant heat and uses half the wood to heat a home. plus you can get it with a oven in it.. peace and god bless

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

I could not imagine life without a dog or cat. They have such a great personality and unconditional love. When things seem bad, they always know how to cheer you up! I have watched Keeping it Dutch many times and I know of this thermal mass heater you are talking about. A "local" named Gnomestead on KZbin has started a business making them and I have seen many videos on this subject. Thermal mass heating is a big deal in my mind and something I will keep researching a bit. And I would definitely get one with some sort of oven for sure! Thank you so much Thomas!

[@patriciaherman6499]

Haven't made ox stew since we stopped butchering our own cows, probably 15 years ago, but it was a go to on a bitterly cold winter day with homemade bread. By the way making bread, english muffins and bagels are easier to make than you think. Wondering, ever thought of getting an ATV or Snow machine for the trails the noise I would think inhibit some of the wildlife from coming to close ( well mainly the bears.) Hugs to Kenai. Be Blessed. 😊🇺🇲

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Oh yeah! Ox tail soup with some nice fresh made bread is about as good as it gets on a cold day! The more I learn about making bread (the old way) without a machine, the more I can see how easy it seems to be! I will get good at making it because I want to! As for the ATV I plan on getting a UTV someday. And for the snow machine I am looking at this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYHCq4iLl7inr7M. I do worry a bit about pull start engines as I have had a broken wrist before. Gave Kenai his hug! 🤗 He loves it when I am responding to comments! Thank you so much Patricia!

[@silverchickadee4130]

I hope your grocery shopping goes okay. Nice produce has been hard to come by in recent weeks and canned goods have large holes in what is available. Places are putting limits on fuel canisters. I used to do infrequent large “stocking up” shopping, but now I buy when things are available. It helps that I can check local availability online before wasting gasoline. And yeah, prices are ridiculous. Funny that you mentioned English muffins, as they (and all baked goods) are now at a price that last week I looked up how to make them to make sure I have the ingredients on hand. Oh, the bears. I know someone that has a remote cabin and they use trail cams to see what happens when they are gone. The bear traffic increases come in the spring and fall as they migrate to and from their hibernation spots.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

No matter what, I will have what I need to make it through the winter! I have gone to many stores while doing my supply run and if I have to, I will go back another day. This winter I am prepared for it to be far more costly than last year. I will be buying ingredients to make more stuff. For my videos and in the long run it may be my only choice. Like English muffins! As for the bears, I know I will capture some on video now that I have my trail cams and security system up. As long as they don't wake up mid winter! Thank you so much!

So good to see you again! I’m excited to see you now have the cameras. What a thoughtful surprise! Definitely well needed. I’m diggin all your scenery shots. It’s satisfies my vicarious living, especially after the week of peopling that I just had 😩 I keep meaning to ask you but, I always forget; where did you find those amazing skirts that you wear?! I feel that they are so retro, with a modern flare, and completely fit your personality! I love them! Tons of rain here lately, and quite a bit of toppled over trees due to the monsoon storms we’ve had. My backyard backs up to a river bottom, but for many many years it’s been a dry river, with a bicycling path and a horse path on either side. With all of the rains, I now have a river that is 1/3 full! With the coyotes, jackrabbits, Harris hawks, quail, and all sorts of desert life, I’m loving all of the visitors that I’m getting to see from my backyard. Sure wish I could upload pictures here on KZbin, but they’re funny about that, lol. Temperatures have been in the 90s, so I’m still happy girl! Lots of prayers from me here, to you there facing the bears! Hugs to you and kenai! 114° 🤗

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Well now that I have some cameras set up, lets see what kind of wildlife I see! Or maybe I don't want to see! The skirts I have been wearing were purchased on Amazon and I plan to use them as patterns to make more as soon as all my stuff gets here! But you know me! I do like the retro look! You are still getting that much rain? Maybe all that water is making the wildlife cut across your yard? But I do hope it doesn't get too bad! We had our share of flooding here and I was lucky to not have had to worry about it at all. KZbin is funny about a lot of things in the comments. No external websites, no phone numbers, no emails and don't you dare say anything about the epidemic we just went through! Those comments get deleted immediately! (By KZbin). I hope the rains subsides a bit and you can have a more relaxing week! At 90F you are probably breaking out the winter gear!Thank you so much Janet!

I know how hard it is to lose a pet companion but nothing will sting as much as Kenai. He is far more my buddy than any other dog I have owned. Your 18 year old beagle was a lucky pups. I didn't think any dog lived that long (normally). You remember the good times and that you obviously took fantastic care of him. They always leave a gapping hole when they are gone but we adopt them knowing they will be gone before we will. And it takes a real man to cry about their dog! No picnic table at the pond!

He never bothered us or our outdoor kitchen. That soup looks amazing, I love mushrooms. Maty gets lots of love, can’t imagine life without her, pets are so good to us.

That bear was just looking at your tent saying "There goes the neighborhood!" You probably lucked out a bit though being that close! You should give the recipe a try! The soup and the ox tail is amazing! Maty is a spoiled dog and that's awesome! I think you and David love Maty so much it shows on video! I'd tell you to give Maty a hug but you do that all the time! Give her one from me! Thank you so much Angie!

Be sure to not only get the tall fence up, but with electric wire. I would even put constantine barb wire on the very top. It is barb wire with razors.There are "winter" bears that did not eat enough to sustain them in their dens, usually a young, inexperienced bear. They are deadly, because they are starving. Love and hugs!

My backyard fence will have electrical wire running along the bottom portion which may need to be raised before the heavy snow. I hear you on the winter bears and they would be as dangerous as a mother bear with cubs. I keep an eye out for them and if I see one on my security cameras (mid winter), I wont be going outside for awhile! Thank you so much Pamela!

Can't wait to see more of your mushrooms growing and to see what you do with them after you've harvested them. Mushrooms are so good and so good for you. I know it's hard though to know which are edible and which are not.

Since this is my first year foraging for mushrooms, I will do what everyone does and stick to what they know. It was great that Gnomestead did a video about mushrooms because I was not aware that some mushrooms cannot be preserved! But I don't eat a ton of mushrooms anyway. They sure are tasty when used though! There is even a mushroom called Lions Mane that is supposed to taste like lobster/crab! Slowly but surely I will get this mushroom learning down! Thank you so much!

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Hello Tracy! So happy you are enjoying my channel! Are you serious about the pillow? I do watch Eric and Arielle's channel. They post a new video every 5 days and they are all so good! I watched them since they were scouting out property to buy here in Alaska. They just cooked up a porcupine not too long ago too! Thank you so much Tracy!

I'd put one of the cameras by the pond. Eventually all animals end up at a water source.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Exactly! It looks like a small pond in the drone footage but once there, it's a fairly large body of water! I want to see who visits the pond and if it will catch any fish jumping! Thank you so much

Good Morning, I see why you fell in love with your land! Those overhead shots of your cleared land and the body of water there! I got butterflies when first seeing it! I'm So happy for you that you've not gotten your stove fixed! I'll have to try making your ox tail soup. It looked so delicious. How is the marker drawing on your new kitchen window working for keeping the birds from running into it? I thought that was so ingenious. So many beautiful flowers growing. And the filming of the seagulls and the water...sigh... Thank you for sharing it all with us. So glad for you of your new equipment for loading the videos and all...Looking forward to your next video.. Love to you and Kenai

This property is amazing! And to think, I passed on it at least three times before coming back to it. All because of that roof! And now the old roof is history! Speaking of history, I love the history of my property as well! I do wish that pond was mine but at least it is very close by. So far the repaired wood stove is ok. I will need to add another little bit to it and cure it again. The window markings have been working because I haven't heard a single bird hit the window. Sometimes I think the birds realized last minute and lightly ran into the window or hit it full force. But zero since! WHEW! I enjoy going scene hunting for you for my videos and now that I have that video transfer device, I am not waiting for hours for the footage to transfer to me. Thank you so much Connie!
