QUITTING YOUTUBE? | HARDEST CHALLENGE?| OUR MARRIAGE? Somers In Alaska

[@sms4925]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone mow the grass in the snow! 🤣🤣😝😝

[@lydiadillard4417]

I thought that was kinda amusing!!

[@ariannaashley4552]

Y'all are literally my happy time. If I feel sad or lonely, I binge watch the Somers. Your family is such a blessing ❤️ ❤️ Thank y'all for being so authentic and just plain wonderful 😊 BTW, greetings from North Carolina!

[@jacinda232]

I started watching when you announced that Jessica had cancer. I prayed everyday for her after watching that episode and was hooked to make sure she made a full recovery and watch your family. It brought peace to me as I was growing and learning how to be a single mom. Thank you for being there and I pray everyday still for your family. Love you guys!

[@SomersInAlaska]

Hi Jacinda:)Thank you so much for your prayers and support over the years! We appreciate you!!!

[@jamiescott5461]

I wanted to do random acts of kindness but life has been turned upside down. I’m only in my 40’s I had a DVT, Pulmonary Embolism, Hear attack and TIA. 99:9% of people don’t survive that, but I did, I’ve lost my voice and am losing everything. You truly bring smiles to my life. Even though my iPad now only will run one app, I chose KZbin to watch you guys. Questioning why I was chosen to survive. Lots of luv from FL 👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️

[@daniellepullen7506]

Please don't quit you tube Your are an loving caring family ❤️☺️

[@MyBigBeautifulHeart]

I saw the title of this and started to cry. I am IN LOVE with your family. I would be devastated if I couldn't see you guys anymore.

[@jenniferbowen3623]

I hope you never quit KZbin. I am not on other social media formats and I look forward to your posts. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@countrycutting2051]

The intro was so funny to me. Mowing with snow on the ground is just hilarious for a southern guy like myself. Can't wait to order something when you guys go live tomorrow morning!

[@karendixon401]

And with shorts on in 20 degrees! 😱

[@pattiann502]

You two are setting such good examples to everyone on how to treat each other and your children. It makes me so proud of you every time I see the kids doing chores. The ethics you instill in them will go with them all their lives. Growing up my family was not able to provide much monetarily. But the way they showed love made us a happy family. I see that love in your family. God Bless!

[@NoTrashInHeaven]

Those are my thoughts, too! We were blessed with homeschooling and church communities that helped out each other's families. Our kids now grown have an appreciation for how special that was now that they have friends who didn't grow up that way.

[@irenedavo3768]

[@chasitycobble1740]

Idea….Switch it up….Weeks worth of dinners, cook with me’s, more cooking videos etc. That would be awesome to know how y’all cook up there! Or your Go To’s for dinner!!!!!!

[@jennymarch2074]

Love that idea!

[@tammyallen8205]

Please, Please don't never Stop DOING Your You Tube Channel. You Guys Are Too Much of a Great Blessing To Thousands & Millions of People. We feel a part of Your Family. We are Your " You Tube Christian Family."

[@daphnemiller5910]

You two couldn't be more adorable and real. Great video! The dreaded Big C diagnosis hit us this past Thursday when my husband found out he has prostate cancer. We appreciate any prayers.

[@gracieshepardtothemax1743]

How’s hubby now? Praying he kicked Big Cs arse! 🇨🇦❤️

Your such a cute couple n your husband gives 1000% percent to his family

[@Mrs.Sunday]

The cancer diagnosis video was my very first time watching you guys. I cried and cried and couldn't stop binge watching all your vlogs. Love your family...always looking forward to the next vlog. God Bless.

[@pinkpainter2579]

You mentioned cancer.... I'm laying here having just finished this post... Waiting for surgery on Monday. Ovarian cancer. Been through lots of chemo. It has been hard getting to this point. But I have a loving, faithful Father, a great family around me, a wonderful small group (church Bible study), friends, even my medical team (most are believers)- Such a blessing. One of the high points of these dreary days is your "happy peoples" posts. I'm learning much about our 49th state! Thank you for bringing joy to me and for the prayers. God bless you & your family, and all the "happy peoples" Cheri

[@bradnorrid661]

Thanks for the genius comment on the garage door idea, lol. I told my kids I have been officially called a genius on youtube, they laughed at my geekiness. Made my day. God bless and Stay Happy Peoples. !!!!!

[@SomersInAlaska]

You are amazing Brad!! And to Brad‘s kids, yes your Dad is a genius:) You better listen to his advice!! Lol

[@stephie640]

It was definitely a very cool idea! Nice!

[@bradnorrid661]

Thank you for the comment. Don't forget you can use a LCD projector to put the design on the door to trace it out. just make sure you reference the LCD position incase you have do the work over a few days.

[@jengrant7376]

I’m really looking forward to seeing how the garage door idea works and the finished product. Such a smart and creative idea!

[@elishawilbur6417]

Crazy thing my daughter found your channel a couple of years ago because she loves family vlog style videos. Now I watch every time you upload! 🤭 Sommers Family rocks 🙏

[@tmalcolm6138]

You are absolutely beautiful just wanted to tell you that. 💕

[@jennifergulaszewski686]

Your family is one of my favorites. You are nothing but encouraging, honest, funny. Even though I’M not so religious, your message and the way you spread it is so personable. Not to mention the music is just great!

[@kristad8112]

me too. I've always been an athiest but sometimes I need the church of Bert lol

[@jvstcu76]

These Q&A sessions are my favorite part of your channel. I love how down to earth and natural you come across on the screen. When I started watching you years ago I knew that God had put you in my life for so many reasons. Your vlogs have renewed my faith in the the future as I realized that there are such spiritually grounded people like yourselves raising a future generation of good and decent members of our society. In the crazy world that we are all dealing with today "Somers in Alaska" restores a sense of normalcy to my life and my world. Thanks always for all of the good that you contribute to society. You are truly making a positive difference in ways that you will never know. 🤗❤🙏🌎

15:07 Jessica the way your husband looks at you with such grace, love, and delight is so BEAUTIFUL ❤️.

[@kcmobaseballmom]

This title caused me extreme anxiety. I was worried my favorite KZbin family was quitting. So thankful not only are you staying in KZbin but we can look forward to Vlogmas and random acts of kindness. 💕😊

[@helena7363]

Please don't stop KZbin! You are such a bright spot in a dark world. 💗

[@Dbusdriver71]

You never know what can come your way. I found it was literally year to year in Fairbanks. As I hope to retire there, the next time I come I will never leave. Keep praying for the best to come.

[@mlkirkl09]

Do not quit KZbin! I look forward to your videos and am not on Instagram that much!

[@stunrut]

You two are the folks our parents always wanted us to be. Sometimes the world needs proof that God is good. Thanks for being that proof.

[@beatrizaceiton3691]

No need for proof it's a given

[@sabrinabeardmore730]

Please dont leave me,I work overnight and you'll are the only thing I look forward to in the morning, when lunch rolls around at 2 am.I enjoy watching these video's so much. It brings me such peace always.thank you may God bless your family.

[@elleck3542]

You guys are the ultimate couple goals. The love, respect, and honesty that you show to each other is a joy to watch.

[@fionamckinnon]

I don’t do Instagram! Love watching you guys here!!

[@karencheney2347]

Your comment about going to Alaskan Villages is so true-very quiet, very small. I, for one, am very glad and thankful that you are still on KZbin. So glad you are going to do Vlogmas! I homeschooled my son for a couple of years and then he went to private school (we sacrificed to keep him in private school) and he was also mature for his age and has no problem talking with anyone (he is now 35). He wasn't a video game guy but like you said was also goofy and fun and still has a great sense of humor. Love the answering questions vlogs!

[@queenofyoworld]

Your channel is positive , so much going on in the world. Makes my world normal ,watching your channel.

[@williamduvall22]

I miss north pole. We moved to Alaska in 2019 and had to move back to Georgia in December 2020 due to my mom getting sick. Your channel was a big influence on us moving to Alaska. We actually lived not to terribly far from y'all on James St. We will be moving back to North pole in coming years. When we do we would love to hang out with y'all a little bit.

[@emilyb5106]

I’m in GA - Gwinnett

[@jackson7421]

I loved the comment of not being nice to your kids all the time. A lot of parents are concerned with being their kids friend, not the parent. Also as Steve Rinella says. “Kids today aren’t comfortable enough with being uncomfortable “

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

The numbers of subscribers are over 200,000 amazing. You are both incredible and a blessing to so many. Thanks for sharing your beautiful family life with so many of us. 💕💕🥰

[@RecologySpencer]

Ah yes, a Q&A video. I know you guys would never quit KZbin, especially since you make such good content and have built up an amazing following. Plus, you have so much to document up there. Great work!

[@dianebaugher3919]

Not to mention the $$

[@randallrobert332]

The first video I seen was when you went shopping for a family that was down on their luck. Made me feel happy to know there is good people out there in the world. God Bless your family stay safe.

Don't leave KZbin PLEASE...look forward to your videos

[@ngnmech]

I had to look back to when I first started watching and it started with Audrey's concussion video of her at the ER. So almost 5 years.

[@angelalevelingup]

I attended Birchwood Elementary in Eagle River back in the early 70s. We were allowed to play outside at recess as long as the temp was -30F or higher. All the kids wore what we called Air Force parkas, the ones with hoods that zipped out what seemed to be 2" beyond your nose. I NEVER felt cold. SO MANY intense lunchtime games of king of the mountain on the big piles of plowed snow!! We were hard core players ... little 1st grade girls taking out the big older boys at the knees. The weird things that stick in our memory! lol

[@lorettajones5076]

I love this family. They have prayed for me so...I certainly pray for them. AWESOME!!! Audrey you are a beautiful young lady and the sweetest soul.

[@lindahansen9395]

I was stunned when I was scrolling through the comments and saw your name. My Mother’s name is Loretta Jones. What is your middle name?

[@christine1973]

I remember the cancer diagnosis, but I started watching the vlogs when you was building your current house..

[@marygreene4027]

my husband is 10 years in jan in remission and he was the same likes to move on. cancer is so common. i never felt my husband needed me more. usually hes the strong one. but i couldnt imagine having my 3 kids back then. its good to tell people that life has many happy endings

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Date night......love this time!!! Kids are sleeping, or doing their thing, and hubby and I spend quality time together. Life is good!

[@TheWhites6]

All the irony in the intro was great. Fireweed hoodie paired with shorts and crocs while cutting snow grass 😂.

[@robertarohwer3861]

I started watching you because we LOVE Alaska... and I've continued watching you because in this world of negativity you two are so absolutely happy and positive. I realize that life isn't ALWAYS that way... but when I've feeling down... I look for your videos to cheer me up. Thank you. Keep up the great work!!!! And the laughter.

[@cynthiagilbert]

I love how Burt listens intently to you as you explain things. You both show Gods love to your kids family and viewers!

[@kristinparker5745]

After my mother passed there wasn't anyone to celebrate my birthday. I told myself "I'm a big girl, I don't need a party" and decided to make cookie trays to pass around to my friends. My birthday. is in December so it was a Christmas thing. Unfortunately I took the trays around on my birthday which is 2 days before Christmas and a lot of the people weren't home. You are right about the feeling you get while doing a good deed. I always felt really good after passing out the trays whether the recipients were home or not.

[@stinkygraykitty6808]

You are a fabulous person Kristin! Happy birthday everyday

[@monami4291]

It's early but, happy birthday 🎉🎉🎉🎉. I usually do not celebrate my birthday but, this year has taught me to celebrate every moment. My twin sister almost died from the virus. The weeks of prayers and the blessing of God answering gave me a new and very different view of life and celebrating it.

[@itsmekaren1884]

Kirstin My mother passed away two years ago, she used to always make my birthday so special so I completely understand your sadness. I miss not being able to pick up the phone and call her daily! So on that note I will make it appoint to pray for you from now on during December for your Birthday 🥳

[@dianapickering6891]

You two are amazing. God is first in your lives and the light of love shows in both of you. I started watching this channel 3 years ago and it keeps on showing us all what a real family is. True enough life is hard but at the end of the day you can smile. As for your launch... I'm holding my breath to see it and get something for myself, even though I live in Florida. Hahaha! Love, joy and happiness.

Please show us how to set-up a long-term storage pantry, what we need (the basics), etc...

[@sarahrobertson3936]

Homeschool kids and esp the teens tend to be more mature because they tend to mature on their own instead of being led by their peers. Our kids have always been ahead of the curve maturity-wise.

[@nicolemitt1]

I just love your KZbin videos, especially watching your older videos and seeing When your children were younger … can’t wait to purchase your Alaska apparel so excited 😆

[@joycemiraglia280]

I hope you can vlog a little bit inside the new shop during your first launch. It would be great to see. Congrats on your new shop!

I found The Happy Peoples about three years ago and I truly believe you were sent to me on purpose. 2018 was a very rough year for me and I’ve never subscribed to a vlog before but there you were in my recommendations and something told me to watch. So I watched. And I’ve been watching ever since! Love your family. And I’m so excited for the launch 😊

[@myhandsrfullofluv4225]

Sorry to hear you had a rough year. 😔 2018 was difficult for me and mine as well.

[@lindawarnke8899]

Hi Bert, Jessica, and Family. Thank you for filming such wonderful, upbeat vlogs, in todays times of illness, strife, and depressing news it is so appreciated. I wondered if you had ever thought of making your clothes a bit bigger in size than 3x. Have you ever thought about designing a cardigan sweater, or vest. It is also hard to find clothes 5x or 6x womens. In the usa there is woman within and in canada penningtons. Thats about all. Just wondered. Have a great day. Take care. Linda Warnke:)

[@andrewjozwiak1931]

Got on at 11a (CA) for the Alaskan Apparel launch. Bought my wife way too much stuff 😜 we just visited Alaska for the first time in July in the Wasilla/Palmer area to visit our good friends who moved there recently. Found out about your channel while we were there. We absolutely loved it! We’re going back to check it out this winter and and probably again for their wedding. Strongly considering moving but lots to consider! Toss a prayer or two here if you can!

[@robingastonia9192]

I have only been watching yall for a couple of months. I enjoy your videos so much. I would love to visit Alaska so much. I have learned so much about Alaska from yall. I am 67 and retired, single, so don't know if I will ever make it or not, but never give up, always pray, and be positive. Life is so hard for so many right now, but with prayers we do wake up in the morning, and we can walk. I was feeling kinda down this morning and found a new video this morning so you brightened my day. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I love your house, it is beautiful. It is funny but watching Life below Zero you think Alaska is like that, but it is not. You even have a KRISPY KREME, and I live 5 minutes from one and I try to stay away from it. When you see that HOT light on, oh my, I have to just drive on and say, oh, I wish I had just one hot doughnut. LOL They are amazing when they are hot. I live 20 minutes outside of Charlotte, but as cities grow, we are not that far anymore. Our area is growing so much and people are moving to the area and not living in Charlotte. Oh, well thank you so much for sharing. I can not imagine walking out and seeing a moose in your yard. We have deer in the area so that is exciting to see but a moose, wow, that is really exciting.
