The concrete blocks crack before the organizing is finished. Chris tries leveling a shipping container, discovers the supports aren't up to the job and replaces them with wooden beams. Even finding a place for everything involves a little construction on North To Alaska.

Katie and Chris's only new upload, "Turning 2 Empty Shipping Containers into the Ultimate Storage!", moves years of stored belongings out of their deteriorating cabin and into secure storage. Katie carries totes down from the cramped attic; an enclosed trailer holds plenty more. Inside the containers, magnetic overhead lights and metal shelves turn dark steel boxes into usable space, with room reserved for vehicles and a mechanic's toolbox.

The winter detail is the lock. Chris says he has had to carry a torch to thaw frozen locks, so the new puck-style lock boxes have a job beyond security: keeping freezing rain away. Viewers are already thinking about the next usable space, suggesting a roof between the containers. Another proposes numbered totes with QR-code inventories, a digital answer to the eternal question of which box holds what.

The storage episode reached roughly 282,000 views and is the channel's busiest video right now. The garlic-planting Short is also drawing attention, while September's start-to-finish deck build remains active. Different jobs, all aimed at making the homestead more practical.

Across the channel, daily views are nearly twice their usual pace, and the week brought 4,000 new subscribers. Its weekly views were the highest among nearby outdoors and homesteading peers, with Mangy dog tv drawing almost the same total. Here, the week's work also includes winter tires on the truck and Jeep, with the spare sets finally getting a place inside.

A tip from a friend.
My friend numbered every tote/container/tub, 1-xx. Then he put a QR code on the outside of the box. Anything that goes into the box he clicks the boxes unique QR code and adds the item to the list. When he wants to find something he looks at the entire list and finds the item, then the corresponding box number is listed for him. It makes finding things SO easy.

A suggestion (and you may already have this planned) is to connect the 2 containers with a roof which will give you a ton more covered storage between them.
