Hi, my name is Salina and I live in a village in remote Alaska that shares my families last name. My great grandparents homesteaded here in the 1940s and now it's a thriving little town of nearly 200 people year around. My family owns and operates a summer resort right on the families homestead....your Alaskan vacation by Alaskans.

Jared did a great job in front of the camera this time! Love seeing him be a bit more confident, especially when he’s with you!! ❤

[@Annette-h5x]

Miss. Salina you're so beautiful and you make me feel beautiful right now although I have a health problem stage 3 kidney diseasel don't feel too beautiful some days so thank you Miss. Salina for your beauty inside and out... 😢

[@lynnebrown-hardy1566]

Hubby did a great job. And love seeing the family buying for the lodge

[@DepecheMatt84]

Hubby is usually so quiet and reserved in the videos. It nice to see his personality shine through.

[@tamarawalther4524]

You're doing a great job, Jared! You seem to be getting more comfortable with the camera. I'm proud of you! From one Michigander to another.

[@karenschrock80]

Awwww! My heart melted for you when he said "What up Boo?" LOL. Great job.

[@joanngreen7059]

The men did a great job shopping ❤. Hello mercy and Jordan.

[@salinaalsworth_ak]

I was very proud of Jared, his first time doing it really...I've always been with him in the past...it was fun getting Mercy involved!

[@desiraehackett7648]

You know that we watch all the National Geographic shows about living in Alaska, and I often wondered how they really got supplies. The shows make you think that they all trade and hunt for everything. Your reality is eye-opening to the idea of moving to Alaska and not being a part of the outside world.

[@glendawoodward8750]

Love the moose in front of the sporting goods store 😅

[@debrafricano1486]

He did a great job shopping! It has been fun watching your parents and the helpers.

[@nurseamber4180]

I don’t watch a lot of you tube videos, but your channel is one of my favorites! The grocery trips are mind boggling….I’m so spoiled here in NC, where I have 5 supermarkets within a mile radius. Because you’re so remote, things most of us take for granted require extra effort, but you’re so blessed to be surrounded by such beauty and a large, loving family.

[@teraysa919]

We so love your vlogs! In love love with your resort! One day husband and i hoping to visit! Thank u for your videos! ❤

[@Docmiller4425]

This reminds me of when I lived in Alaska. I love watching your videos. Keep them up. Jared did an excellent job! It makes me miss Alaska a lot....LOL. Have a blessed week.

[@lucindasutt7365]

I'm so excited to be sharing the shopping. WOW, add all the shopping together and it is unbelievable it is so much, and building supplies also.❤😊

[@ROKgem]

I love seeing how your family works together.❤

[@patriciaherman6499]

Jared nice to see you on camera looks like you did a great job Salina kudos to Mom, Dad, Jordon and all the others shopping for the resort I'm tired just watching. ( I really dislike shopping) . Here's to a wonderful season.

[@salinaalsworth_ak]

the family really hates shopping at the end of the Lodge shopping trip too, lol. Thank you!

[@Annette-h5x]

Baby you should make some games up while you shop make it funnier and more family oriented

[@sandraadams4940]

Potatoes are planted early In Indiana. They are already blooming. Won't be long. Melons are planned, corn and soybeans are up. We are blessed.

[@desiraehackett7648]

I'm in Indiana also! I haven't planted anything yet! 🫣

[@kellyrosenthal2821]

Definitely a different grocery shopping experience ❤😊

[@NorthernRetreat]

Interesting. Catch and cook must seem easy after that shop.😅

[@geninecook8390]

Your mom is so young! Loved seeing your family working together

[@sharonmorris6403]

Good job Jared !👏👏

[@r6095o]

Stopping for airplanes.. soooo cool 😀

[@omnilux8971]

Salina, I love that you are involving your family and everyone is doing such a wonderful job and everyone has beautiful personalities. How blessed you all must feel 💕

[@janemay8721]

Jared did an awesome job shopping! Love your channel Salina!

[@MelissaNash1979]

you have no idea how comforting and healing your videos are to watch, it's like comfort food for the soul, love it, thank you 🌅

[@jacquethirlkel3001]

Love your videos!!! God bless!

[@kellypowell1483]

Good job shopping!

[@wendyhamm9722]

[@MaineUSA]

[@pigoff123]

[@tinawarren275]

[@ponwajeechrans7372]

Awesome life ❤

[@cindystephens6997]

Good job hubby!!

[@DarleneSimmons-sc1xx]

Nice job

[@carolynturk-hu7je]

Salina, maybe you have shared before and I am just not recalling. But can you say how your Mom and Dad met? And where your Mom is from originally? Great video!😊❤

[@deirdreball3731]

The family did a great job vlogging!

[@kellypruitt2362]

Love watching these❤❤

[@tlynn1963]

Good job Jared!

[@michellealder5051]

Love your Channel 🥰🇬🇧

[@mollyshort2390]

Hello 👋 from Arkansas 😊

[@seraramsbotton781]

When you get the opportunity like after summer sometime. Could you please do a meet the siblings video. I think that would be fun. Also if they didn't want to be on video you could just say. Like how many siblings you have and were they fit it.

[@melanytodd2929]

❤❤❤

[@tamarabeck6350]

Does your mom have an accent from another country? Love watching your lives play out, as it’s such a far cry from my rural Texas life. I’d so love to fly a hopper to get to the ‘big city’.

[@salinaalsworth_ak]

She was born and raised in Russia! Came to America when she was 16

[@GreeneyedkittyNAllie]

@@salinaalsworth_ak Geographically, in some places in Alaska, you can see Russia from your house ( thinking St Lawerence Island etc)

[@117Pinkyflower]

We gripe about the cost of groceries, this is on another level! Does the gift shop have a page?

[@cindifischer6919]

Yes I agree, it is something they love and choose to do. There is a job for everybody.

[@paularedden1109]

I love watching your family restocking the resort. I have one question how much does this cost in total to buy and ship everything to the resort.

[@ArcticExploring]

He did great vlogging, now he need to do it more like fishing or something, so people just need to go there!

[@salinaalsworth_ak]

Yes! He will do some of that this summer :)

[@tamraanderson4225]

10000x 👍🕊🐑

[@kathyweber3730]

How expensive is it to fly the items to your resort?

[@flamingolounge1975]

Did the eggs survive?

[@CRG1966]

I am amazed at how much more it costs there

[@kelliepineda9822]

only 1 butter to bad your parent didn't get your guts stuff at same time . but kinda cool a trip with hubby

[@janaferreira8882]

❤

[@marh6276]

👏👏👏

[@samanthanoah5183]

Jared you were great with the shopping/video work. I have a question if you can answer (well actually 2 question). You've done videos where you say how much the hauls were, but I can remember seeing a video where you've said the total of the shipping for the hauls, Also. I was wondering why can't you use one of your planes you have at the resort to bring everything back instead of paying for the shipping?

[@salinaalsworth_ak]

Thanks for asking! Because we are employees, we have an allowance for freight per month as one of our benefits...after that, we get billed monthly for our freight (also a benefit as an employee instead of paying on the spot). So I don't know our shipping bill until the end of the month/beginning of the next

[@annlyle8348]

❤🎉🙏🏻🙌

[@hiddenangel8515]

Every part of me is screaming.Put the bananas & other fruit/ veg in the small part of the basket🫨

[@kathykochersperger6848]

How can I purchase some of your merchandise that you sell at your lodge?

[@denisecole6128]

I’m curious how many of the relatives are employed by the resort.

[@beckf78]

Do only small planes land at your airport or the airport long enough for the 737-400 Combi? I used to go from Anchorage to Kotzebue and Nome for work on the Combi. The air taxis seem like they would take such a long time to get everything in.

[@salinaalsworth_ak]

No big airplanes like that land here....it's only an hour flight from here to Anchorage, so not bad at all.

[@cindystephens6997]

I have a question- what do you guys do with your trash?

[@Mudd_1969]

Question: if you or your family owns their own plane do you have to pay shipping on you lodge supplies? Is it weighed just for safety?

[@HakobPartyOf6]

Whats the temps there currently?? ❤ also you are so freaking adorable!

[@adrienne5836]

Have you ever met Somers in Alaska?

[@DarleneSimmons-sc1xx]

Do you sell stuff on line

[@sunmeowlody]

I'm sure you answered this many times before but you usually hire the same staff every year or is there ever a chance to apply?

[@salinaalsworth_ak]

Yes, there is! We send out invites to return employees, and whatever needs there are after that...we hire for it! We are still in search for a breakfast cook for the season

[@sunmeowlody]

​@salinaalsworth_ak Darn, I wish I knew a good breakfast cook! I'm sure you're fully staffed otherwise but next year I'd love to apply, if possible. Have a great day, from Melody in Florida 😺

[@karenmonigold3138]

Weren’t you the breakfast cook last year Salina?

[@Nickelson28]

Curious as to why that Greek yogurt was not in a freezer? Did I see that wrong?

[@lisahayes6656]

Why do you have to take it to an airport to be delivered

[@salinaalsworth_ak]

No roads into where we live...everything is flown or barged (barge does take up to maybe even a few months to get stuff to us so air is the quickest)

[@janicegilman7672]

Is Mercy your sister or your aunt?

[@salinaalsworth_ak]

She is my sister

[@kelliepineda9822]

you need a lil trailer to pull behind you

[@kellypowell1483]
