Spring in February! What???

[@janiceguillemette5753]

Oh no! First Eric and Ariel’s beautiful Bo and now your beautiful Otterpop. So sad!! I’m so sorry for your loss! Doggie heaven has added two wonderful friends.

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

❤️ 🐕 ❤️ 🐕 ❤️ Thank you!

[@JerrySpindler]

May I make a suggestion, plumber by trade, you may want to add a 2” trap directly under the shower. Each plumbing fixture, shower, lav sink, kitchen sink, should be trapped to insure no waste gas order from your septic system, nice job!

[@reality_is_the_key]

Also in construction here. This plumber is spot on. Those septic gasses are rank smelling. You don't want those in your house.

[@jimmyjohnstone5878]

Yes, always put a trap in those locations or regret it later...

[@reneeo521]

I agree ! Need traps under showers

[@rachaelneudecker9466]

I love the walking around the trails near your other 50 acres. I was up in Fairbanks a few weeks for that crazy cold snap up there and I loved the deep snow like that in the trees. Words or pictures don't describe that view you see there...

Yes, you’re so right! It’s absolutely amazing here!

Otter pop was a good doggy. We loved seeing him on the channel. Wow guys so happy to see almost 30k subscribers It will hit 86°F next week in far NE Texas......that's not hot though. Nice plumbing job. Looking forward to seeing the kitchen come together. Yall have lived in an unfinished house now going on 2 years. Your on going building is amazing to watch.

Mrs. Von new subscriber here i am catching up on your old videos you look much more healthier and thinner than 2 years ago. Best decision what you guys made to go to Took and enjoy life. More Alaska in your videos outdoor nature etc keep it up. Not sure how Ryan is always happy and eager to work.

If you use Studer vents you can vent some of the stuff inside the house. I remember a buddy using them

While watching the video I was thinking, "Where's Otterpop?" I am so sorry for your loss. I'm sure Kobuck misses his playmate. Otterpop and Bo are playing together over the Rainbow Bridge. As usual, good work Ryan, Your house is coming a long way. But the amazing Von, shoveling the snow off the RV roof, You got some skills girl!! Haha, You know I love you guys.

So guys I had thought about that new 50 acres you got if take trees out and make a meadow and set up some blinds and let deer and moose and bear all that come eat the grass and other stuff that might grow that they eat it might a prime hunting spot for you guys so it just a thought is all

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Hey Wade, that’s a good thought but we have millions of acres to hunt and the animals here in Alaska aren’t really able to be hunted in that manner.

That is why your other dog wanted to be around you, because he is at a loss also 😢. Just like Simple Living Alaska lost their fur baby this week 😢.
