Thank you so much for all the great content! My father sadly passed away on 12/30/2024. We spent a lot of time talking about your adventures. It was a great way for us to come together before his final day. Thank you again for all you do. I love you guys!

[@pabapaba6869]

At 80 my life is boring , due to health problems. I count the days between the videos and look forward to your every new one. This video did not disappoint!

Hey I'm just a Kid in comparison, I just turned 65 I think 🤔.. I'm grateful to watch 👀🥸 the videos too..

[@bonneymoseley1159]

I agree!

There’s 2 more families that live in Alaska that you would enjoy …. Here’s a couple of other channels if you want to watch good Christian families.. This Alaska life and SomerslnAlaska

[@timburns8918]

@@tarras3292 Already watch them, and a lot more!

[@JerrySvida]

@@tarras3292 Not sure why you have to plug in “Christian families”. That’s just irrelevant. Is Religion really needed.?

[@leobaltz2057]

The scene of the northern lights that faded into the fire from the stove was the single most badass videography I have ever seen. So cool!!!!! I love you guys!!

[@nancyrea3863]

It was beautiful.

Exactly what I was going to say. That was awesome video.

I came to say the same! Excellent graphic match!

Your photography is second to none. The northern lights were amazing, and then fading into the fire was phenomenal. Genius.

[@eerebout60]

Your sunrise scene coupled with those tunes is easily a top three opening's of ALL time.....sooooooo serine.

[@peterjd]

Those drone shots of the sun and the trees deserve their own channel!

[@thesquad2]

Was hoping you guys would upload again I could watch your guys videos 24/7

[@allysonmurray1731]

Your photography puts any national geographic to shame. You've gotten better and better. Beautiful and stunning how you capture the Alaskan wilderness.

[@Debbie4729]

My husband and i love your channel-we watch every episode! I wanted to let you know that your wood will darken over time.We put pine boards as trim in our home,and they darken to a really pleasant honey color over time.Patience is all that is needed. Kudos to you both for toughing out the freezing temps to finish this project!!!!

Oh my goodness, the enchiladas made my mouth water. I still can't get over how lovely the canning storage unit turned out. It truly is a thing of beauty, as is Pepper and her brief cameo. Stay warm guys.

[@lynnemac1402]

Loved the drone footage at the beginning and then the Northern Lights into the wood stove flames, absolutely beautiful. The cookie wall looks amazing it’s so good, it’s a great texture as well as keeping nature in the room you are growing more nature. Arielle you are so right about how the wood is so gorgeous after the planing, really brings out the natural beauty of the wood x

[@LiveAboard]

The transition between the northern lights and your stove flames was amazing. Watched it a few times because it mesmerized me! Beautiful Photography!

What an absolutely awesome job you have made of the seed room, I’m sat in the UK freezing at -1 c and now after watching you I’m thinking how pathetic am I 😂❤

[@staceyhazelett2397]

The intro was beautiful as always, and the cookie wall is really coming along. I dont think I would ever get tired of the northern lights! I can't wait to see the garden/high tunnel next year, either! Im so grateful for the opportunity to follow along with your adventures!

What a project!! I've seen a cookie wall before in a magazine but it might have been just a beautiful wall paper. Quite a challenge but so far so good. Love your seed room. Hopefully it will be just what you both want. You both make such delicious beautiful food. Thanks for the aerial views too. So soothing.

A suggestion for the summer. Build an air lock entrance for the chicken coop and the house also. It will prevent that cold air exchange with the heated air in the house and coop

What a unique wall. I love it. I figured you'd have to use screws to fully secure the cookies. Can't wait to see it finished. That would be cool for a wall inside ypur house also, or an upper part of a wall. I know it's a tremendous amount of work. Loved the Northern lights too. Thanks for sharing that.

[@jaredmccutcheon5496]

Hey Aerial, I’m a window guy, been selling them for 15 years. The green color is from the LowE coating on the inside of the exterior pane of glass, it is vaporized silver and is designed to repel radiant heat back to whichever direction it is coming from, argon gas is clear, and you can’t tell if it’s in a window or not by looking at it, it is added for insulation during times of cold weather because it is inert and much more dense than air so it makes the travel of cold through the glass much more difficult.
