Food, Fish, & Family Fun | Alaska Beach Cabin

Watching from the UK, I was always taught to pull the rhubarb sticks not cut them, that way you get more regrowth! 😊

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thank you for the tip! Several people have said that, we had no idea

[@Paul-bw6eo]

I live in Canada now,born in Ireland ,my dad taught me that also🇨🇦🍀

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

I was going to comment this, too! I have heard it’s more damaging to the plant to cut it.

[@emmahenderson3496]

banana boats is a staple treat when we go camping. we almost always eat then over winter when we go camping as a whole family.

[@TammieHolland6766]

There is nothing like family, food, and fun at the cabin. Where memories are made.❤

[@pamelanurse2024]

That rhubarb is amazing! I miss it so much because it’s too hot to grow in southern US. My favorite pie is strawberry rhubarb custard with four eggs and half a teaspoon of nutmeg. Delicious! I have fond memories of making banana boats in Girl Scouts growing up. Have you ever made dough boys? You wrap raw Bisquick dough around a stick and roast it in the campfire. When the biscuit is done you slide it off and fill the center with butter and jam. Yummy!

[@shellybielawski1773]

Y’all are one amazing family, I love how you don’t get any back talk from the boys when you ask them to do something that’s wonderful parenting. Mark is such a wonderful father and husband he jumps in wherever needed, his mom did a fantastic job raising him. I love how no one complains about any meals or snack you prepare. This video was amazing thank y’all for sharing it with all of us. God Bless y’all! Hi Luna!

[@mkinder9557]

One time about sixty one years ago, we had a fierce snow storm. We lost our power and my oldest brother was somewhere out in the storm. No cell phones then. The rest of the siblings were all pretty young and very worried about our big brother. So my mother got to work and made a big pot of blackberry dumplings on the top of our wood stove. They really cheered us up. The next morning Jack came strolling in. He had spent the night riding the snowplow until he got to our house and the driver let him off. I never make blackberry dumplings that I don’t think about that long ago night. ❤️

[@karenleemallonee684]

I know you wanted sunshine while at the cabin, but the Hamm Family makes the most out of every situation. Thats one of the many reasons I enjoy watching This Alaska Life, so much!!! 👍👍

[@krisnisius8491]

Baby bird and #2 lol love this family vibe!!!!!!!!!!

[@colleenbrewer4453]

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SUNSET

[@paulapaul3082]

Thank you. I really enjoy your cabin trips. You can see how much the family love them, and all the behind the scenes preparations.

[@debbiephillips1123]

I can see why that's such a special place for your family! Lots of fun and adventure topped with lots of delicious food! Doesn't get any better than that!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thank you so much for being here!

[@susancarlin593]

What a beautiful drive. I bet your happy to stock your freezer with fresh salmon. You do a good job with your videos. Lots of good camera angles. You put an entire week into less than 1 hr and you make it fun and interesting. Nice work Lauren!!

[@karolrust2300]

Wow...I love how you captured the Bald Eagle swooping down on the fish carcass!!😯I have learned so much about life in Alaska from watching your amazing videos!! I can't imagine having access to all of the beautiful nature-what a wonderful way to enjoy family and friends!!❤

[@mireksip180]

What an amazing upbringing your children are getting! Thank you for sharing! Loved the video!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thank you so much!

[@JessicaSalenaOrtiz]

✨WHAT A LOVELY TRIP! WHAT A PEACEFUL STUNNING QUIET SUNSHINE DAY THE LAST DAY, THAT WAS STUNNING! 🤍✨

[@veronicadonovan3001]

What a lovely way of life you and your family have. Having the cabin to travel to is such a blessing. Living the natural life is good for the boys, they just glow with all the adventure’s you have daily. Love your videos. ❤️🇮🇪

[@veronicabergantine2717]

Love the banana boats! Fascinated by eagle snatching up that food😍

[@janneville7765]

The views from the cabin are always so beautiful.....no matter the weather.

[@joegilbert7661]

making great memories that your kids will always remember. Thanks for sharing!

[@SuzGetsItTogether]

Hi Hamm family! I cheered when I saw the video appear - love times at the cabin! Mark is always so proud of where the spear goes into the fish. Lauren you are so blessed. Thanks for letting us peek into your world ❤

[@PepperplacewithShawna]

What fun! It's so beautiful there. Thank you for sharing these adventures!

[@donnabeach1250]

When you said that octopus was a small one I just about died!!

[@fayhodkinson1076]

That salmon was amazing! Love the views at the cabin. ✌🏻💜

[@nataliemccance3337]

Your cabin videos are some of my favorites! Salmon looked delicious on that grill!

[@Livinglifeoutsidethebox]

Tide pool exploration is definitely a great life experience and memory. This looks incredibly relaxing and fun.

[@shopgirl_ny152]

I always enjoy your videos, especially the ones in which you take us along to the cabin and on other adventures. Your kids are learning so much by doing. Can't wait till the next trip to Seldovia. (p.s. I could spend the entire day just watching the bald eagles swoop in for salmon leftovers.)

[@sarahelgersma4861]

Whenever we went to my grandma's house she would make a tater tot casserole. That always reminds me of her.

[@janie2shoes537]

Great video !! I always pull and twist my rhubarb because it grows back faster.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Great tip! I will do that from now on.

[@momofsparky8205]

Hi Lauren I feel like I can offer a banana boat tip to prevent the marshmallows sticking. Instead of cutting through the skin into the banana, peel one side of the banana, but leave it attached then cut the banana and stuff it and then cover the marshmallows with the peel before you roast them. The marshmallows don’t stick this way! It looks like yak had a blast this trip

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

That is a great tip! Thank you so much!!

[@tammybabcock4802]

Good night Lauren and Mark and family and thank you for sharing your beautiful day 🌞

[@katieg.6831]

Love your cabin vlogs!!They are so relaxing and beautiful!!btw the banana boats looked sooo delicious!i will definitely try them!! Kisses from Greece ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@JB0617]

LOVED this vlog! Good wholesome fun!!! Thank you for distracting me from my chronic pain and depression. Love your family and all your adventures. Keep them coming!

[@brilliantbutblue]

Enjoy your cabin adventures so much. Watching the kids creating memories away from screens is wonderful to see. 🙂

[@alleylang]

Looks like a fantastic trip! Loved the shots of the eagles grabbing the fish scraps

[@washingtonstadunks3560]

I enjoy your videos. We live in fairbanks. I saw the best salmon your husband was cutting in the video. The backbone salmon meat is best part for salmon Pattie’s or salmon pie. Just spoon off the salmon meat from the backbone. The salmon head is also the best part to boil for soup stock and can be eaten. Inside the cheeks after baked or boiled have great cheek meat and soft cartridge. And is loaded with omega 3.

[@WyattsWench]

We call them Pudgie Pies where I grew up! Pizza or fruit filled most times.

[@michellealder5051]

Hi Lauren, Love,Love when yous go Camping, I find Watching ur Vlogs very Calming, Thank u so Much for taking Me Along 🥰🥰🥰🥰 🇬🇧

[@ZXX984]

Thanks for sharing an amazing family time cabin trip. July and still coats and knit hats? Just not used to seeing that.

[@sallymarkay3210]

I had such a wonderful time with you all at the cabin! Thanks!

[@shirleywarner8831]

Great get away and enjoying so many things that you get to do at the cabin. So brave of Everett to do the splunge.

[@sharonpeters1899]

I love your videos, the only reason I watch her videos is the scenery of Alaska and of course, Luna.

[@kimkerley4218]

I love visiting the family cabin 😊

[@luciep09]

Such a great trip! Lots of lovely family fun together and whilst the weather wasn’t as warm and sunny as you’d hoped, still a lovely time away.😊

[@sherrieoday6848]

Wow!!! Thank you so very much for letting us “ explore” with you!!! It never got old seeing those beautiful eagles scooping up the salmon!!! Question: anyone eat the salmon as sushi??? I loved all of this. Yes, banana boats are very delicious!!! Low tide was completely amazing! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jeanholdener8051]

Love watching all of your videos! You and Mark are the most amazing parents. All of your children are going to make great adults.

[@1Staggs]

I love the adventures you and the boys get into every trip !! It is so wholesome to watch your videos, especially for a true city kid ; ) 😂

[@donnamacleod2947]

Another wonderful week at the cabin! Looks like everyone had a marvelous time!

[@katuu4]

I am always so amazed how brave the boys are to pick up any sea creatures . My girls will never be brave enough to do that. Such a fun video 😊

[@angelaforcier378]

We had banana boats as Girl Scouts camping , so yummy ! And I love watching the eagles clean up the shoreline fish 😊

[@cindydaniel6125]

So much fun. I'd love to spend a week there with you all. The things I could learn. To bad mother nature didnt give you a bit warmer temps. 😊

[@NayStouffer]

I loved that you showed all your meal ideas. Now I want to try banana boats on our next camping trip! Yum!! Another beautiful adventure that you took us along for. I love it! Thank you 💕

[@rachelfrees1268]

I could live there all the time. What a beautiful spot and what interesting things you all did. I hope the octopus was tasty. Thanks for sharing your time and family with us.❤😊

[@jillwalls9330]

Looks like another amazing trip. At least you didn’t get rain so that’s a win.

[@janetsark6172]

We made campfire pies when I was a kid too! We also cooked potatoes and fresh from the garden corn on the cob cooked in the coals. Those are sweet family memories.

[@lindauribe6872]

The pies look great 😃

[@jomo3735]

What a dream...

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thank you so much for watching

[@mandywhitton]

Hi Lauren and Alaska Boys! It’s nice seeing how big all the boys have gotten! Hugs all the way from Orlando ❤

[@mullins809]

Wow I love salmon I can only imagine how good these taste

[@marietajalle391]

Good evening! It's so great seeing you and your family having such fun and enjoying your time at the cabin. Salmon looks delicious. Love salmon and other fish. Octopus is also great as kelequen or cooked in coconut milk with some island vegetables and potatoes. Thanks for sharing your adventures at the cabin. Enjoyed it. Hafa adai and love from the island of 🌴❤🌴

[@Sandra-qs1mi]

So many wonderful things in this video, salmon fishing, looking for sea glass, the discovery bucket and on and on. Loved watching the eagles grab up his dinner. Always loved fishing in my grandpa's pond, bringing back the catch for the adults to clean and having a huge fish fry with hush puppies and other great things grandma cooked up. I, too, wish I could have been on the quite beach with no one around but the kids for some quite time and reflection. It does wonders for the body and soul. Wonderful family time without tv, cell phones or video games. Back to the fun of conversation board games. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful family time. I so enjoyed your fun

[@anitaworking8033]

QUE BIEN OS COMPLEMENTAIS TÚ Y TU MARIDO...ME ENCANTA❤😊

[@tiffanygossett3447]

Hi Lauren! My kiddos and I love your videos so much. They also loved “exploring” with you especially finding the octopus 🐙 and crabs 🦀. The Alaskan cruise videos were great too! Can’t wait to visit with my family ❤ May you and your family continue to be blessed 🙏🏾❤️

[@pattaylor8955]

WOW. I loved watching this. Amazing the food you can make in a burner, grill, and small over along with over the fire. Enjoyed watching all your adventures. Hoping they caught ALOT of salmon to start filling your freezer for the year to come. My best part was watching the eagles 🦅 come get the remnants of the salmon ❤

[@cynthiamateo9450]

I like how you make something out of leftover foods

[@Dorkramus]

Jo Hubbard..SW VA.. As I watched this episode, I realized just how much I enjoy your videos….. the pure enjoyment that your family has together and love you have. I love your cabin videos…. And the sea glass finds..lol. Thank you for sharing. By the way I make strawberry and rhubarb cobbler (freezing the strawberries and rhubarb so I can make it in the winter also) I’m sure your raspberries would work as well. I use a cup of self rising flour, 3 tablespoons solid shortening (the more you use the more crumbly it is) a tablespoon of white sugar and enough milk to make thicker biscuit consistency. Use 2 teaspoons or a small cookie scoop to put the batter on top of the fruit. Bake 350 degrees until a beautiful brown. Delicious.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thank you so much for the recipe! Glad you enjoyed coming along with us.

[@Dorkramus]

@@ThisAlaskaLife You are so welcome ..

[@BPCalaskaCARYN]

Eating canned sardines on crackers for a nighttime snack with my dad at our cabin when I was young :) Fun Video Lauren, really enjoyed watching while working on this rainy day we are having here again in AK

[@traceyclark1429]

Thank you for another great video. So many loving memories❤

[@mary-lynnberti7081]

We are off on a week long camping trip here in Manitoba. One of our campfire "core memory" foods is bannock on a stick. We wrap bannock dough around a cleaned stick and bake it over the fire. Served with butter and jam or sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. We also use bannock dough in our pie irons with apples and cinnamon in the middle. So good! We also love quesadillas for a camping dinner!

[@shirleyperry8593]

So much fun

[@carmenHernandez-jg1kk]

Watching from Michigan and I really love your family. I like the way you all live so simple with no cellphone , TV, computers and fishing. Love your recipes !!

[@sandraficarra618]

I love rhubarb. I usually wait for the stalks to get a little redder. Growing up, rhubarb sauce over bread and peanut butter! Yummy

[@OMGitsaClaire]

Your cabin trips remind me so much of family trips to the north shore of Lake Superior as a kid! No salmon but plenty of lake trout, herring, and whitefish. And wild rice everything! And berry pies especially blueberry and raspberry. I remember woods coated in lupine and collecting rocks on the beach. So many core memories! I know your kids will look back on this fondly.

[@froggy0165]

I love cabin videos ❤❤

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thank you so much for spending time with us! Have a great weekend.

[@vickygraf8870]

Looks like you had a great time that's wonderful God bless and take care

[@rougefox9233]

Rhubarb looks incredible!! Have you ever tried using refrigerated ready pantry sheets to make your campfire pies? They may work well in your mini pie makers.. Such a nice family cabin & vacation together!! 🥰

[@Babybearbr]

A great memory for me was going to my grandparents lake house in Georgia and we would make s’mores. My fav.

[@joanbarber5384]

You’re lucky you have all that seaweed for your garden.

[@lindacox8156]

The kites are awesome‼️watching the eagle get the fish parts was great‼️It is fun you even take us diving with you😊What a beautiful sunrise!Those banana boats looked soooo yummy‼️

[@LJCasey-sd4eu]

My memory food is Graham cracker cookies dipped in chocolate. My grandmother always had them in a lovely tin canister on the counter in the kitchen....they were ALWAYS there. They're not expensive cookies, but when I see them in the supermarket I always think of my late grandmother 😊 Your cabin area is absolutely beautiful!! Your boys will definitely have wonderful memories when they're older 💖🙏🏻💖🙏🏻

[@kathleencasella4703]

How amazing. 😮

[@sarahcopeland1494]

Loved this so much. It truly is God's country.

[@brendalea1606]

I am so glad the weather improved for you. We did not have such luck the week of July 4th. in Homer. I am hoping weather is better mid july for our halibut trip. Nice videos of the eagles!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

4th of July was cold! I’m hoping for some sun too ☀️

[@anomab8847]

Hi Lauren - your cabin trips always brings me back memories when me and my sister spent time with our Mom and Dad travelling and visiting new places and sometimes familiar places during our school holidays. I so love the way you and Mark are raising your four boys to be all rounded in things pertaining to life and godliness. With love from Vancouver, Canada.

[@lovebug12345ist]

Family time! So precius!🩷💚🧡❤️💙💜

[@Brokenalice]

I started watching your channel with the Alaska cruise content, but I'm glad I subscribed to enjoy your Alaska Life vlogs. Your world and my world are so vastly different and I am fascinated by the things you share of cabin life and being out in the wild. I'm a childfree city-slicker who prefers being surrounded by big buildings and sidewalks full of bustling people. I love living downtown metro inner-urban lifestyle with the comfort of a coffee shop next to a tattoo shop next to a Thai restaurant next to a credit union just a block away from my home. That's my kind of hunting grounds! 😁Suburbia is too "rural" for me and I'm never truly comfortable out in real wild nature. You have a really lovely way of sharing your family and family experiences with these vlogs that lets me learn about your Alaska flora and fauna from the comfort of my home - not being bit by mosquitos. 😄I am especially enjoying the bee keeping stuff! Thank you for the videos.
