We're Heatin' Things up at the Cabin!

Was curious if you thought the dumpling filling would taste okay, if you added some sort of vegetable, like tiny diced carrots or potatoes perhaps? Was considering a treat for New Year’s Eve. Most of my siblings and I eat gf.

Looks good

Tina, Joe, & Mr P,
It's so gorgeous there all year round. So is it officially winter now. Will the snow stay from here on out, or will you still have some warmer days pop in. A uninvited visitor, she's large...I wonder if she's pregnant. She seems comfy with your place. Speaking of animals did you have bear at the other cabin. I'm curious, did the previous owners of your new cabin indicate if any kind of wildlife visited your new place while they were there.
Oh girl, your freezers going to be loaded with some good looking lamb. We just packed our chest freezer with half a steer.
Homemade gifts are the best type of gifts to receive. Your soap is gorgeous and the guys will appreciate the soap.

Are your dogs really that fast or did you speed up the video?

I find myself constantly checking to see how much time is left and start getting depressed around 3/4 of the way thru ur vids. My idea is either u make longer vids or do one every day, for like an hour. That's not too much to ask, is it? God bless

We had a fire stove similar. I would get a good bed of coals. Put my oven rack inside. Grill steaks. Best steaks I ever had!

Another GREAT video even love the bloopers! Anyhoos, Happy Thanksgiving to my favorite AK family! xo your friend Nancy from OHIO MAGA!!!!

So much filler footage! And sorry to say, so much of the same.

Love seeing y’all just have fun🎉your dogs are beautiful. So smart, does Joe train them ? Can’t wait to see the wood stove fire, nothing like it 😊🎉. The soap is a beautiful gift and I’m sure will smell amazing. I grew up with homemade gifts and still do them every year. A tradition for my family is homemade ornament every year🌲❤️among other things. Enjoy , God Bless !

Dam girl you are an amazing cook and crafter. I certainly hope your husband and son appreciate what you do.!❤❤❤

In my humble opinion your videos and editing are absolutely amazing!! Thank you for bringing so much enjoyment into our lives! I wish I could buy one of your soaps! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! 🤩👍🏻🫶🏼😘

Thanks for sharing another beautiful video guys! Blessings and prayers for you all.

Hi Tina, Joe and Mr Parker, those scrambled eggs look delicious Parker and Tina I haven’t had pancakes for such a long time, I need my fix. Again Tina you have that cabin so cute and cozy and the wood stove will just give it the finishing touch for comfort and ambiance. That’s a beautiful looking moose I take it is on your property, what a fantastic site. Yes that tongue and groove wall and painted white will look fantastic. Tina you have good ideas👍👍. The soap making was very interesting, I wondered how that was done. Your kitchen window has the million dollar views. 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦

Loved watching the dogs playing in the snow…they are such characters and are very agile! I’m so very excited for your wood stove and the removal of the 747😂. I love wood stoves. There’s something so mesmerizing and relaxing, along with the heat it produces! There’s nothing like it🤗. Loved seeing the sunsets. They are absolutely gorgeous. Your manly soap turned out amazing and you can almost smell it through the screen😊. I really love your channel💜! You guys always have a lovely story to tell us with each new vlog! I hope your whole family have a very blessed Thanksgiving💕.

Can't beat wood stove. Gives off great heat. Makes house homey.I got to make old timey soap with my Aunt. She lived to be 100. I love cedarwood

it is nice to be rich in order to live a natural life ... the system has ruined the currency so badly ... regardless... working ... working with creation is not "easy" but needed and helpful ... thanks.

So excited for the wood stove. Thank u for sharing the soap recipe. Hope y’all have a cozy and wonderful Thanksgiving ❤

In the beginning of the video I thought I was watching a movie❤❤❤❤ such a wonderful video❤

Those dogs are so entertaining, they look like deer

Love goat soap

Great to watch you all again this week. Your tree is beautiful! Love the wall!

May you all have a very blessed Thanksgiving!

you don't have to have something flame Resistane on the wall like metal??

joes face looking so thin feed him more lol

Glad to see you gilm again

Only a few minutes in, but I have to say, those are some healthy looking dogs! So heartwarming to see people that have taken the time to learn what a breed needs, they have the best doggy park ever! Already am super impressed by how seamlessly sounds and music are mixed together, some stellar editing once again Tina. Now, back to the video. 😅❤

Love your vlogs!!! The wood stove will be awesome— I can picture the white wall & it will look wonderful by the dark logs! 🪵. Have a wonderful Blessed Thanksgiving with your family. Jesus is Lord of all!! 💜✝️🦃

I think Joe needs to set Peter down and tell him about the birds and the bees.

❤

Tina, have you considered an outdoor kitchen with a BBQ, grill, wine fridge, smoke and pizza oven? You could also have a fire pit nearby. You can put this next to your greenhouse, and herb/vegetable garden.

Hey Tina and Family, That sure seems to be a tasty recipe. Yum!! Will try this soon. I know the guys will the soap. My husband loves cedar-wood scent. I can say so much about this video. 😂. The animals omg. P and the bear attack 🤣. Beats gotta eat too. Love it. ❤. Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours. May the Lord bless you and your family!

Happy Holidays to my favorite people 🦃🎄Great video and thank you for always sharing your recipes and tips. ❤❤❤🙏🇺🇸

Woodstove ready!

Your fur babies are so silly! Is that Parker throwing snow up in the air in the beginning of your videos? Every time I see it I think it’s such a great shot. ✨❄️✨

Happy Weekend Watson Fam & Friends!!

Tina! Is there anything that you and Joe cannot DO?! I'm sooo incredibly impressed but y'all's knowledge of SOOOOO many incredibly useful Life "stuff and thangs"! I totally wish you had a little "cabin store" full of your own personal "touch" products. Bread, eggs, milk, yogurt, kefir, soaps, like, Girl just make you a Old Fashioned "Ms. Tina & Joe's General Store" " Watson Mercantile"... I will be your first and most CONSISTENT Customer! You're so inspiring, thank you so much for making things look so EZ too ( I know they ain't always, either) . 😆 I'm serious about the store idea tho... Just sayin. 🐐🥛 🐑 🐔 🍞 💯

Love, LOVE the Aurora show too, wow, just stunning captures! I cannot wait to SEE the wood stove completion. It's gonna be AMAZING tho, I can predict that with Confidence! Parker is being raised correctly and he and Lexxy are lucky kiddos. Y'all have instilled many good morals and useful attributes that definitely surpass any public OR private "schooling" of today, hands down. Parker is surely going to appreciate that when more, when he's a young adult. Best parenting ever, IMO. & I was having phantom smells watching you make that soap! It was crazy. I love orangy, lemony and cranberry scents in soaps/cleaners, etc too, they're the BESTEST. Ok, I'm writing a novel again... Thank you for another 10/10 video, friend, you always CRUSH it!! Have a wonderful weekend and as always, stay BLESSED.✝️🙌🌟🎄🌌❤

BWAHAHA.... Parker's grizzly bear attack!! Y'all's bloopers get me EVERY time! Don't EVER change!! 😆💯

Ciao-Ciao y'all❤

make sure paint with enamel or semi glass so you can wash or wipe it down I'm sure will get ash or soot onit

Here I am again watching my favorite channel at 2:30 in the morning. Always worth it!

Every time I watch your video I want to to bake something! Will definitely add the dumpling recipe to my menu….chili sauce I have already made and love it! Thanks for sharing your recipes so we can try them….now if you could send me some snow to Tn! Happy Thanksgiving!

Gurney and B are the most amazing pets, what type of dogs are they? Anyway another banger❤️❤️❤️.

I really like this video! What was that moose looking at? I kept thinking I could smell the soap!😊

Once again, your editing skills and contents are awesome!!!! Thank you for taking us along in your lifes

Bradley and Gunner are so funny. Give a child a box and child will play all day. Give a dog a box and they will shred it all day. lol And the upside down grin was so cute.
Tina I have been wanting to learn to make soap for a long time. I’m going to give it a try. Thanks for the recipe. I need to order a soap box from Amazon as soon as I’m done here. Can I use store bought goat milk? Please let me know.
Thanks again, Have a great and safe week. Love you guys!
Cheers❤

Winter wonderland ❤️

Curious, is there a cost savings to buying the lye rather than the ready to pour wax base for making soap? Back in the Little Home on the Prairie days how did they get lye? You can tell I don't know diddly about making soap but your video has peaked my curiosity.

Wayne from florida. Question. When you're living up there in Extreme cold do you Take less showers than you would living in a Warmer climate

I absolutely love this. I really wanna start making my own soup too. It’d be so great to get a recipe watching you make it seem so easily cause I’m a little nervous to get started, but this really means a lot because the stuff you buy in the store is just full of chemicals that are so harsh on the outside and the inside of the body.

Even if you made a list at the bottom of your channel and links to Amazon, where you get a percentage and stuff too, that would be great.

thank you for everything you do ❤

Another great video! Do y’all have any problems with the moose or other wild animals trying to get to your hay for the sheep and goats?

Beautiful vlog just loved it thank you Alaska is beyond beautiful thank you for sharing your beautiful life lots of love from from London UK❤❤

lol Tina you face when you first taste your meal was to die for and joe's well you cooked it of course it tastes great -- love from australia

Here's the soap recipe for those interested!😀
Ingredients: (These are my measurements, you should always put your ingredients into a soap calculator online to ensure accuracy for your specific recipe).

32 oz. tallow
4.34 oz. lye
12.16 oz. water OR milk of your choice (I use sheep milk)
1.5 fl. oz. essential oils (optional) I used cedarwood & wild orange
Spray bottle with rubbing alcohol
Dried orange peel (optional)

1. Prior to making your soap, freeze your milk in cubes. If you're using water you can skip this step. Weigh tallow and melt it down. You can use a crock pot, double boiler or microwave. Try to keep the tallow at 100F, if it goes over, just allow it to cool to 100F before continuing.
2. Put your milk cubes (or water) in a heat safe bowl (I use glass). Wearing gloves and safety goggles, carefully and slowly pour the lye into the milk (or water) a little at a time. Stir gently. Use a temperature gun to continuously check the temperature of your lye. Continue to stir the lye solution until the temperature stops rising. Don't hover over the bowl as the fumes can be harmful.
3. Carefully pour the lye solution into the tallow.
4. Use an immersion blender to mix the soap. Keep the blender under the mixture so that it doesn't splash you as this can cause chemical burns. The mixture will grow creamy. Mix until it has reached “trace,” the light pudding consistency.
5. Add essential oils (if using) and blend to incorporate.
6. Pour soap into mold, sprinkle dried orange peel if using & spritz the loaf with a little rubbing alcohol & cover with a towel.
7. After 24 hours, remove soap from the mold and slice it into bars. Let cure in an area with good airflow for 4 weeks.

Hope you enjoyed this week's video & I hope you all have a beautiful Thanksgiving holiday~🥰
