“Just listen…………………….”….
Love the silence, the view, the dream come true.
.
What an exciting delivery 🚚
.
Can you not create a ‘strong spot’ on your roof right where you’re standing in this video to place a lounge chair and a small folding table to place your coffee/tea/beer/panini/book😍
.
Love the 2” thick shelving.
.
Love the old propane lighting. It’s a great back up👍🏼 we had same lighting in our cottage when I was a child.
.
The pork sandwich has me drooling🤤
.
Thank you for yet another glimpse of your life @Alone in Alaska💖
If anyone wanted to know a true “day in the life” up here, the video would sound like there was no audio except for the birds and the wind! Sometimes the only noise outside is me talking to a camera! 🤣Stepping outside is so peaceful! As for my roof, that exact area I was standing will all be pitched so the snow can slide off easier! That may be the last time I can stand up there for that view! So a balcony will be needed for sure now!😁 The propane lighting is nice and rustic looking. I have used Coleman lanterns and they seemed very loud! Very bright but loud. I wonder if these lights do the same thing? But I have to get over my fear of propane first 🤣 Thank you Susan!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska I don’t recall the lights being noisy. Just a very faint hiss. Not at all noisy like a Coleman lantern.
Ahh! A pitch in the roof. You had mentioned it and I forgot. Must be the view from up there that caused me to forget 😎
@@The-Ancestral-Cucina Good to know on the propane lights! Thank you! I have been up on the roof looking at that view in winter for so long that I could barely climb the ladder back down from being so cold.
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska yes, and I can see why. It’s stunning!
Hello from arizona. Spring. Ah yes the awakening of what God has given us humans and the reawakening of nature. Such a sight to behold. The joy and promise of a new year
4 months of spring to get ready for 8 months of winter! :-) Everything comes to life again! :-)
I would love your Solitude, even living here in Paradise, Solitude is one treasure I miss . I am definitely waiting for the construction to begin .
wow h@lone , so beautiful , the scenery and the food .. the bear gone looking for berries . lashes .
.dork has gone ferral...its warm here , has taken to wearing my ripped smalls as loin cloths .. I have so much news to share with you ..he says french is the language of love ....juis suis cross-eyed.. don't worry , I'm ok , you have mascara , I will send you a story but tonight I must tend to dorks needs .. conviviality of cognac 🇫🇷
Bonjour Robert! I am glad you liked the video! Whatever the bear was looking for, I hope he found it far away from my cabin! 🤣 You take care or Dork and Dewey! Maybe they like Cognac France more than Alaska! 😁 Merci!!
Beautiful views you have there. Thanks for sharing.
I sure did get lucky finding this cabin! The view was important to me! Thank you! 😁
so glad for you
Thank you so much Desire! 😁
Be careful and be prepared. Poor old grouchy bears
LOL thank you Ken! 😁 I can be more grouchy if the bears start causing trouble! 🤔
I bet you can. Take care my friend. I enjoy your channel.
Ya makin me hungry. Good luck on the roofing n such. Lookin bout time for some fishin up there in gods country. Take care n stay safe.
HA! That’s the point of cooking on video right! 🤣 No matter what happens this summer, I will go fishing! I absolutely love to fly fish. I did pretty good fishing in Colorado but I think fishing in Alaska will be the jackpot! Just have to watch for bears! 😳 Thank you so much Gerald!
Sandwich looks good but the holy trinity of sandwiches rightfully belongs to the Rueben, BLT and Cuban. The other sandwich that comes to mind is a “soup sandwich” which I frequently referenced while serving in the Army.
I really cant argue with that list of sandwiches at all! I enjoy all three! I have not tried (I don’t think) a soup sandwich. I will have to look that up! And Ed, Thank you for your service! 😁
I really admire you! Living off grid in Alaska. And I just love your dog Kenai; he seem's like such a sweetheart. I have always dreamed of having my own little place out in the country, but, sadly, I don't think that dream will come true. I live in Tacoma, Washington, where I was born and raised, and I have never liked it here. But, at 68 years old, and very low income, I don't think I will ever be able to leave here.....unless a miracle happens. It is wonderful to see a young lady like you being able to live your dream. God bless you dear.
Kenai is my buddy! My shadow! We protect each other. Miracles always happen Kathy! Until then it would be a honor to have you along for my journey! Live in Alaska vicariously through my channel! Thank you so much! :-)
Trappers Mansion maybe lol The Bear rug will come in time…. Have a great week! (Garden Plain Kansas)
Oooooo I’d like a nice bear skin for the bed! I bet that’s warm! I bet they are expensive too! Thank you Mark! 😁
yummy sandwich . I pray your contractor is good and honest . As a contractor myself I have seen some nightmares .
Trust me! I worried about that too! My roofing contractor has won some awards and has been in the business for awhile. He had good reviews too. Great pictures on some of the crazy stuff he has worked on so he knows a lot about roofing and construction. Even after I paid that first 1/3, I was worried but he kept in contact and actually showed up when he said he would! 😳I guess in Alaska, if you get a bad rap, you’re basically done.Mostly word of mouth advertising. I do like that he is all about the work being professional. Not one of the bragging types. BUT we will see how it goes! Thank you Steve! 😆
I know what you mean about the air!! I'm on an island in the North Atlantic and we are the windiest city in Canada. I absolutely love the fresh ocean air whipping everything senseless. lol
It's exciting to know that work is beginning at your cabin. You are such a role model. ✨
I would love to live near an ocean! That air is is incredible. Always nice and cool! And of course dangerous at times! You will get to see roof progress video tomorrow! WOW! A role model! Thank you so much! :-)
sammich looks yummy !!!!!
Oh it sure was too! You should try it! 😁
"Scotland The Brave" is a very good themesong for your dog!
Who knew he was Scottish! LOL! :-)
God has truly blessed you and you have a wonderful place and the beauty around you,just amazing
Thank you so much! I love this property and feel very blessed to have found it! And the views are amazing! Everywhere! :-)
everything but the cilantro lol. Glad the roof is progressing finally. Kenai handled that like a champ he deserved his milk bone that day. Its been almost 60 here going on 2 weeks some of the streets here in Fairbanks you almost need a boat to get down but i am enjoying the warmth and sunlight hopefully soon my cabin dream will happen so i can grow old in peace
I knew during editing that Linzie is going to say something about the cilantro! 🤣 Sandwich taste great without cilantro! The warmth does feel nice though! I think we all agree that the overload of water is worth it! I just need to figure a way to harvest this water 🤔 Your cabin dream will happen! You’re in Alaska so you are more than half way there! Just keep looking! Everyone deserves to grow old in peace! 😁 Thank you Linzie!
The sandwich looks good but we like an Italian sandwich with lots of shredded lettuce and mayo. Kinai is adorable even my son stop and made a comment about how cute he is. We have 3 big puppies ourselves. You have a wonderful day and God bless!
💜💙💜
Oh yeah an Italian sandwich is awesome too! I think Kenai is adorable too! He is such a character! Hopefully you watched episode 13! It is about how I found him or should I say, how we found each other! Thank you so much 🧡🤗💚
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska i saw that episode and what a wonderful story. You gave him security and love. I am a big believer that there are no coincidences, that everything happens for a reason.
Hello from Scotland, UK🇬🇧 what a beautiful part of the world you live it. Currently binge watching your channel. Thanks for sharing your journey
Well I think you are the first to announce Scotland! WOW! Welcome! I absolutely love living here! Even with all the snow! Maybe especially because of all the snow! :-) I really do appreciate you binge watching my videos! Best compliment you can give to a CZcamsr! I am glad to have you along for my journey! I post a new VLOG video every Thursday! Thank you Dee! :-)
Love and Light from Ireland 💚🍀💚🍀💚🇮🇪
Thank you so much Liz! :-)
When I moved to my home in very rural Missouri my roof leaked badly. The roof over the loft bedroom leaked so bad that it was damaging the floor on the main level. On the main level I had 4 ply plastic stapled to various places in kitchen / dining room so that all of the leaks could drain into one 5 gallon bucket. I had to sell off 15 acres to afford a steel roof. I have been here 43 years and it is still going strong. Hope you have good luck with your new roof and that it gets done quickly. Contractors can be iffy. Have been to Alaska and it was beautiful but very expensive to live there. Enjoyed your video.
I love your pantry. And it's great that you can see everything at the same time. You don't have to hunt at the back for things. Here's an idea for a future episode.... Before you do your 6-month grocery haul, show us your pantry. Then, take us along as you buy groceries and run errands. Then show your haul (on a table or something) and then your filled pantry. Just a thought.... (Yes, I am re watching all your videos today!!!)
Hello Carma! Just wait until you see the next video and what I have planned for the pantry! LOL 😁 And I love your idea! I will do that for sure! It would be good for everyone to see it all in one spot. Would make a great thumbnail for the video too! And thank you for watching my videos! AGAIN! 🤪🧡💚
The air smells like freedom!
That’s exactly what it smells like! Nothing better than freedom! 😁 Thank you Rick!
Kenai's yipping sounded just like my Shepherds. I'm betting there's German Shepherd in him someplace! He even runs like my boy Shep.
Oh boy! Kenai is a goofball though! Shep may not like that comparison! 🤣🧡
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska oh, our Sheppies are very goofy! Especially Greta. She's so silly she keeps us laughing all the time.
Great companion that boy..hes beautiful ❤️
He's a cookie monster! And he usually gets about 1/2 my meals (unless its spicy). I can just put my finger on his leg and he is calm and will fall asleep. Oho! He knows I am talking about him! He's looking right at me! Better go! :-)
I noticed that when you were putting the food on the coals in the stove, that the glass on your fire view stove is soot/smoke covered. I was taught by my oldest brother if I want to get the glass cleaned up, to use newspaper dipped in water and then cover it with ash from the stove and then scrub the glass until the wet ash dries quite a bit and there's no smeer from the ash on the clear glass. It takes some muscles and patience but the end result is very clean glass .
The foods you cook look delicious 😋😍👌 thank you 😊. Yummy 😋
I tried that cool trick but maybe I didn't let it sit long enough. It seems to me that something else may have been used to clean the glass at one time maybe and it distorted the color a bit. I will try it again but I also like that it is a little covered so it doesn't brighten up the cabin so much at night. When I am trying to sleep! 🤣 The sandwich is amazing! My favorite sandwich! You should give it a try! Thank you so much Stephen! 🧡🤗💚
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska you're right that if there's a different substance on the glass it's difficult to get clean. But in your situation of preference of low light, it's just right for you 🙂
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska ,yep sleep happens to all of us 😴🏞🙂
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska I'm hungry again 😫, thank you 😊
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska maybe a little vinegar in the water might 🤔help clean the glass? Just thinking 🤔
It would be either fun or scary to mount a night motion camera for the visitors. You are inspiring.
Yes both! I want to know but do I really want to see!? I'm going to do it though! I will post what I find! Thank you so much Bethany! :-)
Beautiful big cabin, so happy you get to live your dream while you are young.
Probably too big of a cabin but I certainly love it and the property! And this life! Thank you so much Edith! :-)
Yes,exactly, life is short so be where you are happy
Live your dream! Even if that dream is in a small apartment in your favorite city! :-)
That view isn't going anywhere! Better to not over extend too much and wait til it's more doable. I had thought you were off grid. We do use those propane lights at the cabin. I love them! Nice ambiance! We also have 12 volt lights for quick light. Food looks delicious!
I am hooked up to the electrical grid here. I’d call it a minor miracle but back in the day when the cabin was built, someone had the right connections to get it done.🤔 I will always be glad I have it but I only use it for freezers, lights and computer. Once I figure the best way to get solar (or wind) I will do so for sure but at least its not something I have to do now. Gives me some breathing room. But the propane lights kind of scare me. Something about my fear of propane I will need to work on for sure! 😁 Thank you Sue!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska Breathing room is always good! Funny! We use propane at the cabin, at home at our base camp house and in the RVs. I didn't grow up using it, but I sure love it now! I have a propane stove in all our 'homes'. At our on-grid home base, the power goes out quite often as we are still out in the boonies. It's nice to still be able to cook when that happens. The propane lights just take getting used to, I think. I also use coal oil lamps at the cabin, but more for that cozy feeling. Not easy to read by. They give the same sort of light as candles, but I have a very silly cat that has already burnt her one set of eye brows off chasing little bugs attracted to the candle flame., so I only burn candles that are in jars now. Are you close to Valdez? We roadtripped Alaska years ago, with 4 kids in a truck camper and visited there So pretty!
@@LittleCabinintheYukon I use butane to cook sometimes and I am not afraid of that! 😁 No idea what it is about propane! 🤔 I do plan on getting some oil lamps though. I do like that ambiance! And its good back up lighting. I wouldn’t say I live close to Valdez but I did do a video about my trip there. Episode 25. When I went there they still had a bunch of snow! Nothing like your trip!🤣
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska You should probably seek counselling for your propane phobia- LOL! I'm off to watch your Valdez video! Take care!-Sue
LOL yeah right! Me in counselling! I'd get kicked out :-)
thanks again. Im finding more cool channels who love your channel.
Oooooo other channels are mentioning me?? Tell me! 🤣 I love watching other channels in (and not in) Alaska! I prefer the real down to earth channels. Just pure honest CZcamsrs that share their life. No bragging or show boating. I learn so much from them and am humbled to be apart of their journey. Thank you! 😁
You should use bungie cord of some type to secure the things like jars on the shelves. I was in San Fransico Quake and trust me, better safe than sorry. Love the cabin and the views are beautiful. Love things you cook. I lived 15 minutes as the crow flies from center of quake. We could barely walk, and even drawers opened. Only lasted a few seconds but walls moved even on foundation and cracked. My friend house split in half. Her fireplace was no longer. They were able to fix it accept the fireplace. My place they did not do anything just left it like it was. Windows broke too. I had a few that cracked and was replaced. For your safety and cost put some kind of cording up. Or wood. Just think the bungie type of cord or short netting might be cheaper and easier to work with. If you do not it will be a big mess. Remember you have aftershocks some almost as strong as the big quake. Also, run risk of the big one being a pre-quake. Peace! Hope I do not sound bossy but have been through allot of earthquakes. I learned to secure everything. I used puddy for nic nac type stuff. We bolted water heater because it also busted in one, I was in. Flooded my whole house. You do not pick when they hit or where you are at. So better safe for a few dollars.
Alaska get more earthquakes than any other state! I definitely worry about them! Bungee cords will be installed this summer 100% guaranteed! When I have my root cellar shelved out, they will have bungees or a wood lip and the shelves will be attached to the ceiling. Oh and the earthquake putty for sure! I am going to put bells in the corners of my cabin as well. Sometimes I don't know if we are having an earthquake or I just didn't get enough sleep! LOL! Hey I don't think you sound bossy at all! You lived it! I thank you deeply for your advise! :-) Thank you so much Lee! :-)
looking forawrd for the build. your an amazing woman. brisket sandwich is good.
Hey Scotty! I knew you would say brisket sandwich!😁 But there is no denying the way you cook up a brisket sandwich looks incredible! Thank you kindly for the compliment! And I look forward to the build being done! It’s going to be a noisy couple of months! 🤣
Just discovered your videos I enjoy watching. I live in the country all my life. I think you have done well for yourself
Hello Bessie! It is always nice to hear from the experts! I hope you will comment often with some great pro tips! I sure could use them! Thank you so much! 🧡
I click on the video n see this lady walking with a 44 straped to her side like Clint Eastwood, n thought..oh yea ..this is going to be good. Lolol subscribed. 👍 Love the cabin. Nice.
LOL! Thank you so much Ray! It's a 357 though and a concealed 38 for that last ditch try! Thank you for the comment, the view and especially the sub! I really do appreciate that! :-)
You have a lil slice if heaven right there where you are. But I suspect you know that!
Just found your channel yesterday and am really enjoying your videos....cutest dog ever ! ...Alaska is my favorite state...you have the perfect place to really live life....I live on 13 wooded acres in rural Ky so nowhere near as remote as you but still out away from people with lots of wildlife....nothing dangerous though .. just deer...wild turkeys...coyotes...foxes etc....
Looking forward to watching you fix up the cabin and all the beautiful things Alaska has to offer.
Sounds like you should start a CZcams channel! 😁Your place sounds perfect! You would do well in Alaska as long as you can deal with dangerous animals and a BUNCH of snow! 😳Not sure how much snow you get there though. Many construction videos will be coming up for sure! Stay tuned! And I think Kenai is the cutest dog too but don't tell him I said that 🤫 Thank you Vickie!
Remodeling: let the games begin...
$$$hidden costs
Yeah I am sure that will come up! There has never been a construction project without them! Roofer assures me that he has accounted for everything so we will see! 😁 I will know soon enough! Thank you!
Look at that wood pile…👍 nothing like mountain fresh air. I love it after it rains here it smells so good.
I have that river that runs through here so it’s not as quiet here.
Oh yeah! The forest after rain! Perfection! I live between two big rivers. I can only hear them in winter before they freeze up (after leaves have fallen)Took me awhile to figure out what that noise was 🤣 But rivers don’t make noise! They have a relaxing sound. 😁
What a magnificent place !!! And the food looks absolutely scrumptious !!!❤
I truly love Alaska and I love this property! Add some good food and a loyal dog and it just gets better! Thank you so much Roy! And thank you for always commenting! Love it! :-)
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska I like leaving you comments you are living my dream and I think you are very cool and down to earth !!!
Hello from Melbourne Australia. Could I be any further away? I saw snow once in my 58 years so watching your channel is certainly a change of lifestyle. Looking forward to watching all your Alaskan adventures. Cheers. Lynda. 🇦🇺
Hello Lynda! All the way from Australia! No that's about as far away from Alaska as you can get I think! :-) You have only seen snow once? WOW! You want some? I have plenty. :-) Living in Colorado I saw snow all the time. Living in Alaska, I saw more snow this past winter than I had my entire LIFE in Colorado (slight exaggeration) :-) I honestly could get off the plane in Australia and just melt. You have heat in Australia that should be called something other than heat! I am definitely a cold weather gal! Well its awesome to have you along for my adventures here! I 100% guarantee you will get to see a lot of snow! Thank you Lynda! :-)
It’s really is extreme here. I’m near the coast so temps are moderated. I originate from central Nee South Wales and I grew up with 40+ in summer but -3 in winter. It’s Autumn now and we are Ave 10-18 degrees. Beautiful. There is snow during winter in the high country but I tend to head in the direction of the coast. I follow many homesteaders all over US including Simply Living Alaska and now you.
Well thank you so much Lynda! Simple Living Alaska is a great channel! The autumn temps sound really comfortable! The coast is always awesome too! The smell of the ocean and its nice and cool! But I'd want to go to the snow! You should start a CZcams channel! :-)
I've been watching n enjoying ur videos, I learn a lot, I live in Hawaii I'm grateful to see changing in the seasons, Tysm Aloha n Mahalo
Aloha! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Fall is here and I will be showing a lot more of the changing scenery around me! Mahalo! 🧡🤗💚
Just looking at all that wall to wall Snow, Ice, Cold and more bloody snow makes me shiver, But I respect your decision to chase your dream and I sincerely hope you enjoy every moment of of your dream, there will of course be setbacks but it is the way you handle them that gives one satisfaction ... do not dwell on the problem ... find a solution ... install it ....Move On.
You have a great Companion/Mate there in your Dog.
This is Autumn here Down Under(17/5/2022) and our temps are dropping, today has only been 17oC and I am getting toey because winter is about 6 weeks away when temps will be a most uncomfortable ave of 14oC with nights touching ZERO ... That is when my sheets get Magnatised. And no I am not spelling words wrong, rather being born in the U.K. English is my first language so I do not speak American English ie the Black thing round a Wheel is a Tyre - Tire is fatigue.
Once the Winter is over our temps start rising so by Christmas it can be +40oC which is when I get going and I am 86 and dangerous. Ha Ha
Keep Happy
86 and dangerous! I love it! I do love the UK English though. Petrol, aluminium, the loo! I think its fascinating. You spell however you please on this channel! I have many Aussie subscribers and I was surprised to hear it gets that cold there! And snow too! I know, I don’t get around much. I love this life and yes, there will be set backs. Live, Learn, repeat! And you carry on! I’m ready for whatever Alaska throws at me! I think! LOL! Well I hope you will join me for my journey here and I apologize for responding so late! :-)
That deck to look at the view will be nice one day. It will be nice having a new roof. Everything is more expensive now. I hear you on seeing if the finances work out. Nice receipt. Have a great week.
Yeah that balcony is mandatory in my book! Once the roof goes on, that pitch will do away with my viewing spot. Finances will work out eventually, just take longer now thanks to our “elected one”🤫. But no more sleepless nights wondering if my roof can handle the new snow load! That’s worth paying for! 😁 Try the recipe sometime! You cant just eat taquitos!! 🤣 Take care Brian/Dianna!
Its nice seeing the lumber start arriving for your project but it will be even better watching the piles disappear becouse that means the work is getting done and finally you'll have a solid roof over your head. I couldn't imagine building right now with the prices what they are but It needs to be done. Good luck I pray it goes smooth for you.
I’d say about 1/3 of the projects I wanted to get done had to be put on the back burner because of lumber prices and fuel. 🤨I do have to pay his fuel to run to the dump, drive to my property and back home on the weekends! And he drives a huge Ford F-350 or something like that. It is what it is and no point complaining! But a new roof was mandatory before winter. This past winter was kind of scary at times! All will go smooth! I mean what could possibly go wrong 🤣 Thank you!
I can tell your happy seeing the materials arriving and you will be even happier when things are moving. My dog Aurora is the same way, she doesn't like strange dogs coming on the property. That sandwich looks mighty tasty, I love halapenos but, I just found out I have a stomach ulcer and have to regulate my food intake. It sucks, I like hot. I can hardly wait for everything to start happening. Great view.
I reckon I would kill over if I couldn't have my spicy food lol I've come to learn that a good meal a good coffee and a good sleep are some of the best things in life
Yeah I actually said how excited I was on video many more times but caught it during editing 🤣Luckily! The sandwich was very tasty! Better than the restaurants! But I am biased! Stomach ulcers are no joke though! At least stomach ulcers will go away! IF you follow your doctors instructions! I’ve been there too John! You take care! 😁
@@linziesalmons2441 100% agree! On all three! Just add “a good beer”!! 🤣
Very smart to get those layers of heavy old roof off of your cabin also it looks like they will be adding proper rafter support construction under the roof and insulation as well maybe next some new windows and doors to contain your precious heat during those long winters , great job thanks .
My roofer was on a short list of highly recommended roofers. And the only one that responded to me because he specializes in remote properties. None of the others even responded to say no thank you! 🤨My front door and new back door will be wood doors. The arctic entry door will be the same solid wood door just made to be used easier. My old front door will be repurposed as the door to the future balcony. Balcony will only be accessible from the second level of my cabin. No stairs going up to it from the outside. The roof will be lighter and stronger! Thank you Mike!😁
Miss Alone,
Youve got some MAD Video Editing Skills,
Im So glad youre close to that new roof.
Its also very quiet where I live.
My brother came up in 04 and he couldnt get used to it.
BigT,Alaska
Big T! Always nice to see you here! Thank you for the compliment on my editing! I do enjoy editing videos! I think the absolute silence can throw some people off. In a world where something is always buzzing or ringing or talking, this silence is odd! 😁 I used to go camping in Colorado for longer and longer stays just to be in silence. Now I live right in the middle of it! We are lucky people!
Awesome!👍😎🇨🇦🐾📷 p.s. ....the sandwich !!!!!! 😛
My favorite sandwich! Glad I know how to make them! So delicious! Thank you so much Marian! 🧡🤗💚
Wow fantastic! I love this 😍
Thank you for joining my journey! 😁
Hi Alone! Spring has sprung in this video! Loved seeing your facial expressions and hearing the excitement in your voice about your big project beginning. Great view, especially from that roof top! You dream come true home and location is beautiful. I'm all about texture and that sandwich looks amazingggg! Must continue on... catching up!
I absolutely envy you.
Hey Matt! There is plenty of room up here in Alaska! It’s never too late! 😁
You are one lucky woman! I lived in Kodiak for a few years….I fell in love with Alaska, but my home is in Colorado now!
So we just did the reverse!🤪 I did love living in Colorado and it was a great place to grow up and spend time in the mountains! At least the snow we got there prepared me for Alaska snow....kind of! Kodiak is such beautiful country! I do love this state! I wish I moved here earlier in life! You take care in Colorado and remember, Alaska misses you! 😉🧡
Hi, I stumbled across your CZcams channel a two weeks ago and I have now caught up.
I live In London U.K. Such a different place from where you are. I admire your clarity of vision, carrying it out, and your resourcefulness.
Being in a bit of a rut - your channel inspires me.
You’ve found a great place to hang out. Reading the comments is always nice too! So encouraging!
Hello Paul! I am so glad you found my channel! And thank you so much for watching all my videos! That’s so nice! I do watch a couple homestead channels from “across the pond” and it is different in many ways. The gun laws being the big one! 😳 The simple living sure helps with the clarity of vision and resourcefulness! You’ll get through this “rut”! Maybe it’s just time for you to make some changes for the better?!😉 I’m not saying, go live like I do but I can tell you that when I was in a rut, I started planning my move to Alaska and for many many years, it was the one thing that motivated me like nothing else could. You could say it was an obsession! Stay strong Paul! 😁
@@The-Ancestral-Cucina Thank you so much Susan! The comment section is really an extension of the video! So many people with pro tips, advise, compliments, words of encouragement and yes even the nay sayers! I absolutely love it! 😁
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska - That is a great comment coming just at the right moment I am trying to make some changes in my life. I wili continue watching with great interest.!
Awesome video! Loved it. Yes, there are earthquakes there, mainly smaller ones that occur daily, 24/7 - but not so much that you'll feel them and some large ones that do occur anywhere from once a year to every couple of years or so - that you will definitely feel, that will shake your shelves and house pretty good. Might consider putting a inch or two wood spill railing on your pantry shelving? I've been there when the large quakes have hit, ground level is not too bad, upper levels can be pretty scary, but they don't last but 30 + or so seconds. But its possible that you might be in a area less affected? Will try that sandwich- it looks delicious! Best wishes, always.
I watch the earthquake tracker website and can see all the quakes that happen here daily. Absolutely amazing. When I have heard other CZcamsrs taking about feeling some quakes, I can see them on the tracker but I have yet to feel any. (Maybe) There have been a time or two that it looked like things were shaking but that could have just been a lack of sleep! 🤣 I know the area I am in felt the 1964 earthquake but I don't think it caused any damage here. Thank you so much Charlotte! 🧡
I binged watched your videos all day and shared your channel. I am excited for you!! Happy I found this channel. 👋🏽
WOW! Thank you so much! I need more subscribers like you! I am happy you are joining me for this journey! Fun times ahead! Stay tuned! :-)
❤️❤️❤️✌️so excited for you getting work done on the cabin!
New update coming up tomorrow! It's looking so nice! :-) Thank you so much Kaz! 🧡
Just discovered your channel....I am binge watching all of your videos. I love it.
Thank you so much! Love to hear when people binge watch my channel! :-)
WOO
HOO!!! the roof, the roof, the roof is on schedule, we don't need no water there's plenty on the driveway haha
🔨😆🪚 I'm happy for ya, I know that you're stoked about it , sheesh that pork looked amazing ,I'm not so sure about the German pate' stuff? I never tried it before, but all in all it did look tasty..
Yeah if that was indeed a bear track, it's a biggin...during the daytime go out and start a fire ,make a pit...let it burn ,use all the dead fall that you have lying about, when the bears smell it, their instinctual nature should make them head the other way, anywhere but around there... oh and them shelves...I think you're right, it's definitely shrinkage, but here's a quick frugal solution, an eye hook on each end with either a bungy cord or some elastic string of some kind ,strung across the middle if the shelve heights...and wallah! Problem solved 😉 congratulations on the progress thats about to take place, oh and, the scraps from the job,yeah, you keep them...you paid for em' and dearly I'm sure.. 👍you will incorporate them into your eagles nest room, one way or another...I'll draw it up for you..
Hey Mike I don’t think the lyrics to that song are correct! 🤣 Hilarious! I think with all the noise about to happen as they replace my roof, bears will be staying far away! And my fire pit is buried by plywood! 😁 But I do plan of keeping everything “extra”! For what I paid for these upgrades, I’ll be collecting loose nails all around for later use! I was planning on putting something on the shelving like a ridge lip but since everything kind of sticks out (sometimes a lot) I think a bungee cord would be a better option. One pesky earthquake and I could lose a tidy sum of money!😳 Send me the drawings! I have not settled on anything other than it has to have a roof and walls! Most likely will build a sauna/shower under it. Thank you Mike! 😁
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska No sweat girl...I have a creative side to me too ,aside from my stick framing experience years , yeah save every freakin thing, including any aluminum flashing etc.
If you don't use it on the very next project, it'll get used on the next.. oh I see that you don't appreciate my parody skills on my song hahaha, that makes the two of us lol I can't spit the rhymes 🤣 blame it on my drain bamage lol damn hockey! 🏒😆
Yes ma'am I will draw it up for you with brief descriptions of how to assemble the damn thing...no sweat, just email me so I know where to send it...
lastinline67@gmail.com
I'm going to bust it up in steps so it's less of a major project and more of a partial build via steps.. ✌😊
Hey Mike! I know I saw your response to my comment and you had an email address there. Either you removed the comment or CZcams did. It wasn't me. If you want to email the drawings, my email can be accessed on my ABOUT tab. My son does vet all emails but he is mostly checking attachments etc. At least at first. Don't worry. He's not reading the emails or responding. :-) I basically just get a text that there are emails to read after he has made sure nobody is emailing me "funny business"!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska oh okay ,no problem , perfectly understandable, no I didn't take it down, they must of I guess? Yeah I just figured that's its just a little too difficult to explain in words what I envision, that you could Actually do it in sections and by yourself, well ya might need a Block and tackle but..its doable for certain..I'll draw them up as soon as I get a chance okay 👍
@@mikefalanga437 Sounds good "lastinline" something 🤣Plenty of time before that project starts in 2023.
I watch your videos in awe. You are such a unique & interesting person. I would never ask about specific numbers but to do this I'd think you'd have to be financially well off to a certain degree...not to mention quite healthy. I can't imagine how much planning this would've required to get going, not to mention the thinking ahead for your needs from day to day. Would you say you're quite good at planning & anticipating what your needs will be? Im sure with time it probably becomes easier.
Ahh well thank you kindly young Padawan! Wealthy? No. I wish! But remember I had to sell my house in Colorado to buy this property and I also knew to save enough to get a new roof. Many of the additional projects that are being done had to be paid as they were completed. It is a struggle to pay for everything and still plan for the firewood delivery and the 1-2 big grocery hauls I will need to do to get ready for winter. All of this so far has been based on necessity mostly. The cabin roof would not have survived another winter. Stronger front door in case of bears. And of course the firewood and food. All the other projects will get done based on necessity and I predict this will all take a 3-5 years to complete. Unless my CZcams channel explodes! LOL! Thank you so much!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska Thank you for responding, means a lot. Love watching and learning from you!
@@obi-wankedogi Oh you bet! And it is so awesome to have you along for my journey here!
Girl, I totally understand your comment about not really living your life prior to moving up... I'm doing the same thing... spending hours a day researching, reading, planning, modifying plans, etc. Thanks for showing the kitchen/pantry shelves up close and personal! Hold the Mayo, Jalapenos and Pate!! Mustard would work...lol
I know just do it first time I waited to long got up here to find they couldn't wait went back to see family for x mas and was delayed 20 yrs but back again whith just a back pack at one time I had three Holmes at once now I'm basically homeless and much happier less is more
LOL so you’re just looking at a pork chop and mustard sandwich huh?! 🤣 But never fear Bill! The research and planning doesn’t stop once you are here! So much more fun when you can just walk out your door and plan though! 😉 You’ll be living permanently in Alaska soon! Looks like Jim is starting to settle in!😁
@@darenaxelson7601 Delayed 20 years!? But you made it back and that’s all that matters Daren! And yes! Less is so much more! In so many ways! 😁 Thank you!
Aaaaah the fresh air, peace & view. You're bless. I subscribe🇳🇿
Thank you so much for the view, comment and the sub! :-)
I count days like these as sunny summer days. You could be golfing if there was grass
Maybe so but too many water hazards 🤣
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska I've seen it snow 3 feet on the 4th of july in Demali park. Every camper was stuck for 3 days till the broke out the plows
Re: pantry tour and shelving support. When you showed how the shelves fit I thought you said "...either they weren't cut to size, or there was a lot of drinkage... " and I started laughing because I've spent a lot of time around men with chain saws and robust "drinkage." Oh... SHRINKAGE.
LMAO! A gal with a chainsaw would have made it fit perfectly BUT would have taken a lot longer to get it done! 🤣 And there sure could have been some drinkage involved! But hey! At least it works and the shelves are fairly even at that! 😁Drinkage had to be involved with the spray foam chicken coop though 😜
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska Exactly so! I'd be trying to dovetail the joint - "yes I know it's a chainsaw but give me a minute, I think I can do it..."
I'll have to keep an eye out for the coop - but what do chickens know - as long as the foam keep out critters.
@@itsgettingold I showed it in Episode 24. Basically all the structures on my property in that video. I’m pretty sure I would not have used a chainsaw for that project though. You just don’t get do overs on a support beam!
Motor control versus the ceiling joists falling in challenge. Drinkage: I'll take the challenge! I'm an artist! Sanity: why is the chain saw running IN THE HOUSE?
Going to look for the foam coop episode now. Thanks!
@@itsgettingold Right?! When the roofer puts in my new window I was thinking, he will use a chainsaw in my cabin?! Just seems odd 🤣 Artist or not!
This is so AWESOME!!! I sure heard that when you said "I'm no longer dreaming my life away". So powerful! It takes some planning but mostly action.
I am loving your journey! You have definitely got this. ♥
I do love making videos for CZcams! It’s a fun time for me. I knew that I was always going to say something about don’t hesitate to live your dream life but I think it has become more of the theme for my channel now!😁So many people want to live this kind of life and if I can show that “little ole me” can do it, they certainly can too! 😁 Thank you so much Teri!
Keenia is such a sweetheart. That sandwich looks great and I don't think my chip and marmite sandwiches can compete.
Getting that roof on will give you many years of peace of mind without drips to catch anymore.
Cheers
Marmite😋
I have heard of marmite but have never tried it. Now I am curious 🤔 And yeah that roof has to go! It could have made it another year or two but the heavy snow load made for some interesting nights at the cabin! 😳 Once the roof is replaced I will have a bunch of extra bowls and pots in the kitchen! 🤣 And Kenai is a sweetheart and a cuddler! Oh and he snores really loud too! LOL Thank you!
My fav channel for end of day relaxation
Ahhh thank you Moose! Looks like we both will have a busy summer huh! 😁 Can’t wait to see your tiny house deliver and your observatory get built!
Well my first encounter w/ your channel. I too would be in your situation. But alas my wife's health is not good. So we live on a large island on the Great lakes in MI. There's probably 30 other houses. CROWDED. We are 70 years of age but I could sell the house, boats etc., and move to Alaska. So instead I'll watch you as you progress in your dream. Good luck / be safe.
Very happy you found my channel Billy! 30 houses on an island still isn't too bad! Unless you are all clumped together! LOL! Well until that day you are ready for Alaska, it is an honor to have you along for my journey! :-) Thank you so much! :-)
Wow that's one rough looking roof there and once he's done with it will look awesome. Cost of lumber is unbelievable these day's due to covid and the problems it came with.
The old roof is finally gone and the new one is incredible! The cost of lumber definitely shortened my project list this year unfortunately! Thank you so much Lenny! :-)
Haven't gotten to that video and good to hear. Your welcome.
Good to see the work starting, just love Kinai your Scottish dog even though as an English woman we are probably sworn enemies 😆❤️
HA! If you met Kenai you’d be friends. He’s a cuddler! 🤣 Thank you Pauline!
At first I was worried that your contractor was going to need a boat to haul in your materials. I was noticing yesterday that the ground is thawing in some places and absorbing the melt. That means less sloshing.
Funny he said the same thing! 🤣Good thing they brought pallets! I am assuming we will have a few more weeks of melt, making mud making a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes! It’s about to get interesting! 😁
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska I've already seen them nasty buggers. In fact, one was buzzing around my head earlier when I was out walking down to check on the damn ground stick. Enough snow is going to melt so I can pull him out. Are there bats in Alaska? Bats love mosquitoes.
@@woollyrhinoadventures1654 Oh yeah there are bats. I plan to build some bat houses around my property! I wont charge them rent though! 🤣 Just eat all the mosquitoes please!
I love those sandwich's I used to live in long beach ca and I would go to the Vietnamese shops all the time love love I am so happy you are getting your roof done I have a guy coming to quote me a price Monday you have a great night I have family in anchorage and did live there as a younger person it is amazing I will be coming to see my family up there i hope soon.
Oh yeah! Best sandwich ever! Roofers started today. I was looking at blue sky from my living room! Becky you have a great night as well! Visit your family and stick around for a spell. Alaska misses you! :-)
Ohh! I love your dog 🐕. He looks so happy. Doing all this alone will make you so strong.
You are an inspiration for many of us who like this lifestyle.
I could almost smell your delicious sandwich 🥪. Yummy 😋
Kenai is a special friend to me. Watch Episode 13 if you haven’t yet! It’s Kenai’s story! 😁I will do everything I can alone but hopefully everyone understands there are limitations. Even having someone hold a camera for a CZcams video would be easier! 🤣 The sandwich was awesome! Even Kenai enjoyed his pieces of it! Thank you Ann! 😁
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska I did! What a lovely story. Lucky 🐕 to have found you 🙂.
I was wondering if you've heard of a woman called Sue Hubbell. She moved away from everything with her husband and then he left and she continued alone all the way. She has a lovely book called. " A country year". I really enjoyed it.
@@naturelover6520 I have not heard about Sue Hubbell. I will look into that book for sure! Thank you!
I have never had Banh Mi, never flown,and get few weekends off from work, but I have had Braunschweiger! I know all too well about being recharged by nature. For me it is at my center for my happiness and well being. I have to make the most of the little time I get. Glad things are moving along for you. Stay safe.
I hear you on being recharged by nature! Sometimes when work gets on my nerves, I step outside to either listen to nothing or the birds and the wind in the trees. Complete reset! 😵💫You just enjoy getting away as often as you can! And maybe someday even full time! 😆 Thank you Ashley!
The views are beautiful as always....
The driveway being flooded at first looked like you were walking a shallow creek.... just out wondering about...
Glad you are getting things lined out to start the upgrades and repairs that you need....
Stay safe.... until the next video... Oh and brunswager, cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomatoe, onion and sweet pickles was a regular thing at my grandparents house growing up!
I loved the sandwich and so did gramps but nobody else did.... They have no taste! Lol
Hello Charles! I am very excited to get this roof replaced!The craziness I went though this past winter (which I will talk about in a future video) in some cases where actually scary. 😜I think the roof (as is) would completely collapse in another 2-3 years. Since this is my first spring in Alaska it was good to see where all the water pools so I can try and fix that next spring. Almost could have kayaked down the drive! 🤣That sandwich sounds really yummy! I would have sat down and joined you and your gramps for sure! 😁 Thank you Charles!
Sandwich looks so good just found u on u tube. Love watching you live in West Virginia u have a beautiful home
Hello Connie! Welcome from WV! Very cool! My cabin needs a new hairdo and then she will be a new lady! 😉So much excitement coming with the new roof so I am glad you are joining me for this journey! I post new VLOG videos on Thursday’s and sometime other content on Sundays. And try the Banh Mi sandwich sometime! You will love it! Thank you so much Connie! 😁
Can not wait to see how the place comes along. Keep at it.
Well if anyone here knows about construction in Alaska that would be you! Just glad I didn't try to do this on my own! 5 years of update videos would get old fast! LOL :-) Thank you so much! :-)
One of my regrets in life is I never met anyone like you. My second regret is that I’m not there with you to make everything perfect. You are a beautiful person. Thank you for the videos. I love every second of them . I wish I was there building a life with you in Alaska. 😊❤️
AHHH thank you Timothy! 😁 This gal accepts all compliments! This life is not easy and its harder to do alone! Just something I had to do! I enjoy the solitude! This place will be perfect someday! I love it as is but I have many years to make improvements! Thank you so much for joining me on this journey! 😁
Kenai speaking.....lol 😂
Bahn mei is my favorite sandwich...
100% agree! My favorite sandwich by far! 🤗🧡
Enjoyed the entire video. Thank you. Wonderful blend of your life. Looking forward to watching many more. Have a safe and fun filled rest of your week to you and Kenai. 💖
Thank you so much Deborah! I have many more videos planned! 😁 Kenai and I will enjoy our week! At least until the roofing noise starts! 😵💫 Take care! 😁
Yup, I am definitely still at the "Spending all my time dreaming" part of my life. It's a part that seems to be endless. The sandwich did look very good though, especially with those peppers and pork! You look so excited to finally be at the start of your project, I'm really looking forward to the video where you show they have the roof off!
Hey Colin there is nothing wrong with dreaming whatever life you are wanting to do, just take that leap! It’s so worth it! The sandwich was awesome! Verified by Kenai 😜 I am very excited to get this roof done and some other projects! So many projects, so little time! Supposedly the roofer says he will be able to replace the roof in sections! The three main ridge beams are still in good shape. Either way there will be a time when I will be working on my computer and be able to see blue sky above me! 🤣
Good to see you getting your roof fixed soon and I love your videos also. I’ve always wanted to move to Alaska and to be away from people as you are. Hope you have a nice day and as always please do take care of yourself ❤️👍👍👍🇺🇸
Ahhhh Thank you so much Gary! And even if you can’t move to Alaska, just get away from people best you can! Sometimes some silence can change your life!😉 I always have great days out here and I promise to take care! Thank you for watching my journey! Take care Gary! 😁
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska yes mam and I still envy you as you are able to be happy in the remote wilderness up north; please do take care and enjoy your spring days that you have coming ❤️👍👍👍
@@garyhoffman2505 Oh yeah! This is the best life ever! 😁 My dream life! I will enjoy every single spring and summer day! Winter is right around the corner so I have too spend it prepping. Love it!
Well that looks better than the frozen meatballs I just had. My favorite sandwich is still a cheeseburger. Can't beat them. Cold sandwich would be egg salad. I am pretty simple on everything.
Frozen meatballs 🤣🤣 But I agree, a cheeseburger just cant be beat! Even if its not a sandwich! 🤣 Never been a fan of egg salad though. May have had too much of it as a kid. 😁 Thank you Jim!
Great video . With work starting, it would be good to have more videos a week. One is just not enough. Will watch next Thursday. Thank you much.
Ahhhh thank you John! My day job kind of takes up most of my day unfortunately. Sometimes 12 hours. I sure wish I could do CZcams full time. If I could I would do twice a week videos and longer videos. I am working towards that goal though! 😁 Thank you!
What is your day job? & did the job come with you on your move? Thank you.
@@johnboggan4390 I work for a company doing purchasing and reporting. Excel spreadsheet stuff! Same job I had in Colorado. Boss didn’t have an issue at all since I can do my work from anywhere there is internet.
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska g
Thank you.sounds like a great job .maybe a little boring. Maybe a little fun.
@@johnboggan4390 Compared to homestead living, it’s boring! But it pays the bills! 😁
I am so excited for you. Can't wait to see the progress. I only wish we could see you more once a week, it feels like it takes forever for Thursday to get here.
HA! Thank you for the compliment Sarah! If I didn’t have to work my day job, I’d put out longer videos twice a week! I do enjoy the filming and editing process! 😁I have had a subscriber comment when my video hadn’t posted until Friday. Like where is the video?? It’s such a compliment! SO I do try to make sure I hit that Thursday mark first and someday soon (I hope) I can do CZcams full time! Thank you Sarah! 😁
Awesome to see the change. The sandwich looked amazing!! I'm pescatarian and love Vietnamese food also. I'd make this sandwich but use beets instead. I've made a video or two on my beet sandwiches. If you're interested just type in beet sandwich in my video section. I will say this, I hadn't start pickling yet at the time but the pickles would add so much to them.
Lauri! Thank you so much for mentioning your channel! I checked it out and you are doing some awesome things! I want to watch all your videos! I will definitely be checking out your videos on the beet sandwich though! I love beets! Homemade pickled beets! Oh yeah, I feel a video coming up on that! LOL! You will be seeing me in your comment section soon and I will add your channel to my CHANNEL page! So awesome! Thank you so much! And I am very sorry for responding so late! :-)
Glad you are getting started on the roof, bet you will be relieved and happy when it is completed. Thanks for showing the scenic views I really enjoy the wilderness and am counting the days till I will be in Alaska seeing it in person. That sandwich sure looks good!!
You’re going to be in Alaska in June right? I bet the excitement of that is nerve racking! 😜 And oh yeah even though I am excited for the construction to start, I am definitely excited for it to be completed! And get my silence back! 😵💫Sawing and hammering for a many weeks ahead! Sandwich was awesome! One of my most favorite sandwiches! Thank you Chip!😁
such a beautiful spot; I bet your glad the snow is finally melting. So excited to see the renovations beginning and what you do this year with your beautiful property
Glad to see the snow melt and start getting some projects done! Oddly enough, I do look forward to winter again!🤔 I have so many plans for this place and such a short window each spring/summer to get it done! But I think the norm is to always come up with projects! 🤣 I really want to get the gardens going. Geodesic domes and fenced in gardens! If only I was a millionaire 😁 Thank you Tracy!
Haha aww cmon!! I wanted 1 lol!! And having that roof done is gunna be SUCH a great feeling and comfort! I'm soo glad your able to get it done this year! Oh your videos are always so well done too. I think I keep sayin that but they are!😁
Totally agree👍🏼
Hey Josh! I may do a video on some of the scary things I dealt with this past winter having so much snow on a questionable roof. I honestly think the roof would not have made it another 2-3 winters. 😳So getting to sleep at night without worrying will be nice!😉 And thank you complimenting the videos. You do keep saying it and it’s really nice to hear!😁 Thank you!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska You should!😁
Kenai
reminds me of my daughter’s dog Benson. He too does not like other dogs. (Only dogs who are a member of his family.)He is part black lab and part German Shepard, but mostly looks like a lab.🐕🦺
Nice video and I caught what you where saying/getting at about just dreaming but not doing a move..now i,am so sad I can,t type a comment..sorry but thanks!!! Maybe later i,ll, comment on the rest of the video.. 😉😘.
HA! I know you will get up here soon! Alaska’s call is too strong! Nothing wrong with dreaming as long as you do it! And I know you will!😉 I will see you up in the comments later then! 😁
Love Banh Mi!!!
Best sandwich EVER!! LOL! Thank you Brian! :-)
❤❤❤ g'day from Viv in Albany, Western Australia. How's thing's. I bought a house with 3 akars around it. Been planting trees & lots off wild bush around the the house. Love 💕💕💕 the quite around me. Loads off wild life. It's a 4 bedroom house. Been cooking & canning in my spare time. Lovin' it. We r just going in2 winter. My kid's think am crazy, at my age. A young 65. 🎉🎉😂Got my veggie garden in 4 winter ❄️❄️❄️.
I'm new to your channel I LOVE your view. I live in a big city ( Houston) and your tranquility looks amazing. So happy I found you ❤️
Isn't that view incredible? Once the roof has been replaced I wont get to see that view from up high until next year when the balcony gets put in. The solitude is why I chose this life though. Nothing but birds and wind in the trees making noise! Well that and Kenai snoring!! Thank you so much Heidi! :-)
Yes I totally understand why you just loooove your cabin. It’s lovely & cosy. You have picked an excellent spot. The views are to die for. Melting snow creating swimming pools! WOW what a driveway, just beautiful. Must be so relaxing to walk down. You have done good. I feel the same, dreaming my life away it seems. I travel a lot and have had similar thinking like you. “Ooh that place looks good. Would love to live there”.
Enjoy your videos too, Kenai has a strong Scottish accent lol. Really interested to see how your projects continue. Do you still hear strange noises?
You know I can spend almost an entire flight just looking out the window and wonder. I am so glad I found this little spot of perfect! I can deal with the temporary swimming pools and even the mosquitoes but not so much neighbors or traffic! 🤣 I do enjoy the walk down my driveway. I have to be armed to do it but once the trees start to leaf up that walk (or drive) is so peaceful! Sometimes I have to pinch myself! 😜 Kenai is Scottish. He finally told me. I refused to buy him a kilt though! As for the strange noises, I do still hear them. Many fantastic commenters have explained some of the noises and I agree with them. I actually like the noises I can’t explain too. Nothing is scary just interesting. Now the orbs of light that I see in the trees at night are still baffling. Thank you Bernadette! 😁
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska you are blessed - Kenai speaks we well 😂. Please, don’t spoil him with a kilt. It’s only for 2 legged species. 🤣🤣 unless he has nice legs!
When you enjoy the silence, any noise can get magnified and then it’s up to our imagination. With the orbs - maybe the Northern Lights, changing its shape. Climate change 🤣🤣 Enjoy the Spring. We in Australia - getting ready for Jack Frost mornings.
@@bernadettesingh6148 Well I do have to admit, Kenai does have nice legs. I do enjoy watching the orbs. I watch them and then I fall asleep! Kind of relaxing. Ah Australia! Very nice! I have never been there but I love Australia!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska I love my country too. An extra large island. If you’re ever in my part of the world, you’re most welcome to visit us.
@@bernadettesingh6148 WOW that’s such a nice offer! Thank you! I think I would literally melt in Australia though. I get too hot at 55 degrees now! 🤣
Your cuisine is mouthwatering. Prayers your roofing project goes well and the weather cooperates.
Thank you Lisa! My area of Alaska gets more than its share of rain and it is spring. My fear is obviously heavy rains while my roof is being replaced.😳 The Banh Mi sandwich is absolutely delicious though! 😁
Jeff! You need to heal! Looks like you banged up your knee bad in your last video! June is right around the corner so rest up! And would you get THOR a big down doggie parka! He does not like the cold does he?! 🤣 Maybe we will have to start a channel for Thor and Kenai! 🤣 I do wonder what it will be like to be working on my computer and look straight up and see open sky! 😜 I’m really anxious for this to be done! But I don’t have to tell you or Jenny that! 😁 Looks like you two will be done this summer!
That looks delicious.
I've been doing an open faced sandwich....
Slice of French bread, garlic confit, mushrooms ( pre fried in olive oil/ butter combo with salt and pepper) then topped with grated cheese and baked.
I ended up with 22lbs of garlic so I made garlic oil, garlic confit, toum, and a lifetime supply of garlic powder....I'm thinking that I should have made more confit and toum .
Well there's always this year's harvest and I won't need garlic powder, lol.
Happy to see that your roof will be fixed soon, I'm going to need to replace mine ( thankfully only the shingles) next year.
This year I'm replacing all the boards on my deck.....very thankful that my dad was a carpenter and taught me to do both.
WOW that’s sounds yummy! You made a lot of good stuff with the garlic though! I used to use garlic on everything! Then found that I may be allergic ☹ I still can’t resist it sometimes though and just cook with it and accept the reaction! Just tastes so good though! I’ve seen shingle replacement get done in one day in Colorado! Amazing how fast they can reshingle a roof these days. Replacing deck boards is fun but only after you get the old ones off 🤣 Such a great feeling to sit on a new deck though! Not sure why 🤔
Hey!! I found your channel a few months back and of course subscribed. I wish you all the best and will continue to watch your adventures!
Well thank you so much Doug! I am very happy you will be joining me for this journey! Stay tuned! :-)
