🌲 Hi, we’re Joe & Tina — high school sweethearts, married 26 years, parents to 3 amazing kids, and proud retired military veterans.

In 2022, we sold almost everything and traded city life for a slower, more intentional life in Alaska. What started as a leap of faith has become a full-on homestead journey rooted in family, faith, hard work, and freedom. We share real life on our Alaskan homestead — the wins, the struggles, and everything in between. You’ll find:

• Homesteading
• Building projects & DIY
• Homeschooling & family life
• From-scratch cooking & preserving
• Seasonal rhythms of life in Alaska
• Cozy vlogs & honest conversations

We believe in living as self-sufficiently as possible, working with our hands, raising our kids close to nature, and choosing a life that feels meaningful — not rushed. If you love simple living, homesteading, family-centered content, and life in Alaska, you’re in the right place.

I'm still making my way through all the comments on last week's videos. If I haven't replied, it's not intentional, just takes time.

To the sweet viewer & member, that left me this comment, I want to thank you. Thank you for hearing my heart, seeing my intent and offering encouragement. It put a smile on my face & truly reminds me that there ARE good people still out there.

For those telling me to be quiet and just "focus on Alaska content," I say...don't tell me what to do. I will never, and I mean EVER stop speaking truth & calling out wrongdoing which in this case happens to be certain Alaska youtubers knowingly lying about their circumstances for clicks & taking advantage of their viewers for personal gain.

The comments that "we're all liars because we do youtube," "we're all fake because we're youtubers making content," sorry but setting up cameras & proper lighting to film our life is a far cry from blatantly lying & setting up dramatic FALSE scenarios for clicks and fame. I will not be put in the same category as these people. I am not them. I do not lie to my viewers & make things appear to be something they're not.

We all have a moral obligation to speak up when we see something wrong. My goodness, imagine the world if we all sat idly by and never stood against wrongdoing.

Our channel isn't just ALASKA content. On our channel, we have always shown real life; marriage, raising children, cultural topics, the wins, the losses, and everything in between...PLUS our beautiful life in Alaska. And this is how our channel will always be as long as I'm the one creating the content.

Because life is real and everything isn't always rainbows & butterflies and I refuse to portray it that way. I'm passionate about sharing things that truly matter to me. That's just who I am...and I refuse to change because strangers on the internet don't like it.

I wanted to highlight this viewers comment because it's true. Simple as that. Again, thank you for taking the time to write me such a thoughtful note.

"Tina, for what it’s worth, I understood your heart completely in your last video. There was nothing harsh or judgmental in what you shared — it was simply a call back to honesty, which is something Scripture consistently invites us into. As believers, we’re told to ‘speak the truth in love’ (Ephesians 4:15), and that’s the spirit you carried.

Sometimes people respond to a single moment without hearing the whole message, and Proverbs reminds us that ‘to answer before listening is folly and shame’ (Proverbs 18:13). You spoke with sincerity, and those who listen with spiritual discernment will recognize that.

In a world where appearances often overshadow reality, your willingness to gently point people back to authenticity isn’t judgment — it’s shepherding. Jesus Himself warned us to be wise about what is genuine and what is merely outward show (Matthew 7:15–20). You’re simply encouraging people to walk in the light, as He is in the light.

Keep your heart steady, Tina. The Lord sees the intentions behind your words (1 Samuel 16:7), and He honors those who choose integrity over image. Your voice is needed, and your faithfulness is evident."
