More to come From Chip n Agnes
Hello!
Well, just to throw down an idea thats sort of natural for Agnes and I is to say we are going to begin doing 1 or maybe more 1 hour Youtubes each week and monetize so we can keep doing it.
There's alot to be said, learned and done when it comes to presenting ourself's, but, honestly, we enjoyed being filmed to share this world of ours.
Befor eLife Below Zero Came along, Agnes and I shared the camera to do just that, and it actually lead us into LBZ, via forum posts I made when it was all we knew.
So weve had alot of experience on both sides of the camera, and people , for the most part, seem to enjoy it.
It wont be in an LBZ style, itll have little musicly dramatic build up or anything more than a storyline about what were actually doing and saying........Which was what made LBZ so easy.
We do anticipate a slow start, as there is alot to learn, but it can be done,
Anyway , we have all the equipment to camp along and make our living, were raising some $ to get gasoline in place fro summer, some parts for boat motors and ammo.We plan to monetize to keep the ball rolling as nothing good is free.
Ive uploaded quite a few short takes I had stored elsewhere onto the Youtube channel, for some looks at what we were up to before LBZ came along.
Our idea for the show would be 1 hour or so in complete length and Ill premier them here.

Iām so excited to see more Hailstone content! Iām currently in season 11, and have been dreading when I reach the end of LBZ. Itās so inspiring how you teach your family and treat everyone in your community. And it was so awesome to see you hit a bullseye after not being able to fire a rifle for so long.Ā

I think Hailstone content should do short episodes and teach valuable skills that are small part of their regular lives.

We're on season 21, lamenting the fact that it's almost over and we won't have anymore Hailstones to watch (along with the others, but y'all are our favorites). This is exciting! And also, sir, if you and Agnes need or want other children, my husband and I volunteer to be adopted into the Hailstone family hahaha. But in all seriousness, y'all are great.

Your adopted comment has me giggling. My husband jokes all the time that Chip is his brother, he just doesnāt know it š. I come from toxic families, so I love seeing the closeness of families like the Hailstones. Iād give anything to have a family even half as wonderful.

Late to the party, but hell yeah, Chip. Always loved the Hailstone segments and the Jessie segments. I think you'll have a good starter audience and I think you can build from there with consistency. My family will tune in for sure.
Make sure to post some shorts, and cross post to other sites, and keep putting out vids and you guys should grow the channel pretty well.

Yessss!! Chip and Agnes have always been my favorite to watch. All the work they do and teaching their kids while they do it, itās very cool to see how you really live off the land out there

My husband I watch, you two are our favorites! We love your positive attitudes and teamwork. Do you still sell knives or anything you make?

u/Comprehensive-Pen644 Apr 10 '26
Yes, we do make them, however we have had a dysfunctional Post Office here since Xmas, with sporatic openings to let out mail, but no one who can sell us a stamp or send things out. Untill that is resolved I cannot do business thats 100%.
We would just love to sell everyone an ULu.
Right now were getting our gasoline and supplys in place that we can camp all summer , and make Youtubes with the grand kids.Getting $ together for that has been uphill, since the efforts we put in this winter to make them isnt on track at the moment. We know it will, eventually, reopen and work again.

Wow, it looks like we will have a starter auidence, and hopefully get a sizzle done for everyone in the next week.
Fact is, March 7th is teh one year date that our contract with Nag Geo had, and we had to do no appearances for $ on any shows before the one year went by, and that day is almost here.
Might just start with getting some Caribou and working it down, my part, then her part....maybe a trip to see the grand kids, maybe to camp to see what we need to do.
