🌲 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.

A little behind-the-scenes sneak peek from the most magical day. 🥹🤍💍
We’re still soaking up every minute with our family & friends who came to Alaska to celebrate with us, but I couldn’t resist sharing a few photos from the wedding!
It was truly such a beautiful, magical night, and we’re SO excited to finally say…our daughter is MARRIED!! 😭🙌🏼
Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. James Owens! 🥂🤍
I have SO much footage to go through, but as soon as life settles down and I have time to edit, we cannot wait to share the wedding VLOG with y’all! For now, we’re staying present and enjoying this special time with everyone while they’re still here. 🤍
Here’s a little sneak peek until then…📸✨

Heyyyy YT fam! No video this week!❤️
We’re taking some much-needed time off to soak up time with our family & friends while they’re in town for Lexxy’s wedding! 🥹💍
We’ll miss y’all, but we’ll be back soon!
In the meantime, thought y’all might get a kick out of this little trip back to the ’80s with me & Joe.
That sweatband though…🤣

It would be a tragedy for someone to consume hours & hours of our content before learning who we really are. 😂
Unlike some who create online, we don’t portray ourselves to be something we’re not. We don’t hide the realities of our lives—as imperfect as they may be—out of fear that showing our true selves might cost us followers.
We have A LOT of new subscribers here, and because we don’t want to waste your time—and because we won’t bend our convictions to appease internet strangers—let’s just get this out of the way. 😂
This is where we stand on all controversial issues currently dividing our nation. We make no apologies for our convictions.
If you stand on the same side, great. If you don’t, that’s fine too. We’re happy to have you either way.
But here’s the deal: we don’t come into your living room and tell you how to live, what to believe, or what convictions you’re allowed to hold. So don’t come into ours expecting to do the same.
We welcome you into our home every single week, and we genuinely appreciate the people who choose to spend their time with our family.
But make no mistake:
We are who we are.
We believe what we believe.
And we’re not changing either one for the internet. ❤️

🥹 150,000!!!
Eight years ago, I started filming little home videos of our life on the farm and sharing them on YouTube. I never imagined what those simple videos would grow into—a community filled with some of the most beautiful, kind, and wonderful people from ALL over the world.
Joe and I are truly so grateful for every single one of you who has watched, encouraged us, prayed for us, laughed with us, cried with us and followed along through all the different seasons of our lives. You’ve become such a special part of our story. ❤️
As Home Free Alaska continues to grow, we promise to keep showing up each week, sharing wholesome, God-fearing content that reflects the values at the heart of our home—Faith, Family & Freedom. 🇺🇸
150,000 strong. Thank you for being here. Thank you for growing with us. And most of all, to God be the glory. 🙏🏻❤️
Here’s to whatever He has in store for the next chapter! 🥂 Joe & Tina
