Looks like there is an imposter in the house. If you see a channel called "Hit Me Up - Alone in Remote Alaska" that is not me. But I do thank everyone for the well wishes. Hope everyone is doing well, taking care of themselves and on the mend as well for those that have also had a recent injury - Alone & Kenai 🤗💛
And here Ive been already sending money to that channel........cripes. I guess the Albanian accent should have tipped me off....ah well luckily Im only out a few thousand. 😆 😅 😂 🤣 My cat Simone can eat the cheap catfood for a few months.😝 😜 🤪
@@JEFF_IN_OHIO 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My husband just walked in. He said the easy way to get the treads out is to cut down the center of the tread. He said they come out quickly that way. He is an excellent carpenter...even finish carpentry. I just thought I would tell you what he said. I haven't finished the video yet, so you may have done this.If you weren't so far away, he would be glad to help you. He loves wood working.
I've fallen down my stairs only once because I was wearing fluffy slippers without bottom treads; but I've fallen UP the stairs several times, because I was trying to carry a load of clothes, my purse, my water bottle, shoes, etc. So now, I use a small laundry basket that is only as wide as my body, and stuff everything inside of it. Much safer than having my arms so full trying to navigate stairs, keep my skirts out of the way, etc.! I'm very thankful you weren't more seriously injured!
I am a life long Alaskan, born and raised. Living off grid here in Alaska with injuries, illness, or disabilities can be challenging for sure. Kudos to you, you are one tough cookie. My husband and I are on our 60’s and live off grid on 10 acres in Talkeetna area. My husband is disabled so I pick up a lot of the slack of things he is not able to do and assist him with those he can. I also had chemo/radiation after a cancer diagnosis and surgery 2 years ago that kicked my butt for a bit but life goes on and you do what you gotta do. I still have to go in to Wasilla every 6 months for scans, which have fortunately come up clear. We make life work. There are chicken coops to clean, wood to bring in, snow to be shoveled and a mile of road that the borough doesn’t cover that I plow, etc Life goes on. God is good and we love our life 😊 Praying you recover soon with no problems.
May the Lord our Healer, heal you as you Choose Life. Blessings🙏❤
Is it true you're getting a divorce as soon as your husband recovers his eyesight?🥸
Agreement with fellow believers has its place, as here, praying the three of you find healing and rest for your souls.

I'm very happy that you did not injure yourself more severely and my prayer is that your heal quickly.🙏
About 50 years ago, I fell in a pot hole, while walking on a residential street in the dark. The pot hole was covered over in leaves (it was Autumn). I was leaving a party, where I had partaken in much merriment (of the liquid kind). I wasn't driving. The next morning when I awoke, I found that I could not put any weight on my left foot. It was Saturday, and a trip to the ER was in order. I had a non-displaced fracture of the fifth metatarsal. I was 20 years old. Didn't need a cast on my foot -- just crutches (which were terrible to use when going down stairs with no railings). I'm still a "party animal", but have not fractured anything since.
Kenai is so adorable, he thinks you are talking to him when you talk to the camera :). Nice repair job on the stair. Sorry to hear about the fall and injury; sending you positive vibes and wishes for quick and complete healing!
Sorry you got hurt. Hope you recover soon. It does give you an opportunity to show one of my favorite things about being an Alaskan … neighbors, helping neighbors, how our small communities look out for each other.
Job well done. It looked like one of those tasks that when you finally finish it you look back and say, “why did I do this long time ago?”
Your poor little foot. And you still went down those stairs to work. You’re a trooper. Many blessings for a quick recovery.❤
Thank you, neighbor!, for helping Alone. So very nice that you have a neighbor to call upon (and you, for them, in return). Im so sorry this happened. Im also very grateful that it went worse. Thanks for your video, as always I enjoyed it. Please keep us updated.
Thinking of you Alone, I pray you heal quickly and you have no more pain…..

Thank you. Please be safe and best wishes for a speedy healing. Being a empty nester and widowed, I made sure when I lived with stairs to take them slow and sideways. Once or twice of bumm riding the stairs down 5 or so stairs, I learned taking more time to safely go down the stairs is the best way of not getting hurt. Besides, I would have disliked having to call 911 or my daughter for help. Now I have only 3 stairs and two weeks ago I learned how to do the splits, still nursing those pains. Take care.
Please be careful Honey! 👍😃✌️🇺🇸💪❤️
3M Anti-slip & Grip Tapes. 👈🏻 Add some of that to your stair treads. It definitely helps with traction. Get well soon!
Great advice!
I would be a net zero when matched with someone like this. I hope you're feel better. -Pittsburgh
I'm so sorry to learn of your mishap : ( I Hope & Pray for a speedy recovery!! I also HOPE that one or some of your Faithful Alaskan Viewers WILL Show you some Neighborly Love & Care, by Offering Help for things that you are unable to DO right now & DELIVER on their Good Intentions. # GOOD NEIGHBORS : ) : ) : ) : ) : )
Oh no Alone you are in my prayers for a speedy and full recovery. So greaful that you didn't break anything. Glad you got it fixed. Looks like it's time for a good book.
😬🥺....be careful Miss Annie.....Your little sitting area is so cozy....❤️
Glad it wasn't something serious like a finger was cut off. Be careful and heal up Alone.
Oh wow. Keno is adorable the way he looks at you with such love. Im hoping you recover quickly. Falls are my worry
Take care of yourself girl and put some non slip stuff on those stairs ❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
My heart goes out to you. I've had plantar fasciitis and it is quite painful. Take care; I'm sure that you've explored the internet for things you can do to help it heal and alleviate the discomfort. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
There is a documentary on Victorian homes and how dangerous they were. They discussed stairs. If you are using stairs that are not perfectly spaced, you will stumble or fall. They then showed a video of a subway exit and why so many tripped was because there was a height difference. Our brain expects the next stair step to be even with the others. Have you measured the gaps between each step to see if they are the same. Hope you are on the mend!
Interesting.....
Ohh boy those stairs in an old log homes are very treacherous. Some can be very steep especially going down a loft. We built (five) log homes on the Kenai peninsula. Pretty much every one of my family members lived in a log home. And I can’t tell you how many times a family members injured themselves by falling down the log stairs? Me included!! And there were 3 stairwells in our log home. Even with sand strips tack down…They’re slick!! FYI I carved all the diamond willow railings in our log home at the age of 14. So stinking pretty. But I am Praying for a speedy recovery. It is not easy being down to one leg when you live remotely. Big hugs ❤️🩹🥰🙏
So glad to hear no breaks/fractures in the foot!! Glad u got the repair done. Please take care, no more falls, damage to Alone!! Sending thoughts to u/Kenai!! U R CO connection.
I am so sorry. I hope that you will heal quickly.
Please take care of yourself because we really enjoy your channel. I know there is nothing hyrts like a sore foot BUT do not rush it. Take care!
Ouch...sorry to hear about your foot. Plantar faciitis can heal (there are some good physiotherapists on CZcams. "Bob and Brad" come to mind). Many blessings your way. 👍🇨🇦😎🌞❄
The safest way to go down the stairs is backwards believe it or not; holding your hand on the railing, and is also gently on the knees 😊
Just a tip
Those stairs scare me for you. Hopefully you are ok and heal fast. But definitely keep the stairs and lighting a priority. Otherwise next time it could be much worse. Sending you lots of love.
YES…
Geez, what was it about the Tuesday before Thanksgiving -- was Mars in retrograde or something, LOL? I tripped on a completely flat braided rug, went completely airborne, and then went flat down on my face. It happened so fast I couldn't even put my hands out to catch myself. Unfortunately, on the way down, my left shoulder hit the wooden top of the fake-wicker clothes hamper, and only the fact that the hamper itself compressed (because it was wicker) saved me from a broken or dislocated shoulder or collarbone. Nonetheless, my left arm was completely unusable for days, painful, in a sling, etc. (x-rays showed I didn't break it, however). But here's a hot tip for you: I have some CBD creme (basically CBD oil in solid coconut oil) and if you rub CBD creme in well to ANY injury, arthritis, whatever, it miraculously stops the pain and helps heal. I have used it on several injuries, and this time on the shoulder it truly has stopped the pain/soreness and helped me regain function. Now, 10 days later, my shoulder feels almost normal, and I swear I thought I had permanently injured it. CBD creme even better than arnica, which I used for years. Now back to your situation: you MUST get a railing on those stairs, and hold onto it when you go up and down. Stairs are one of the most -- if not THE most -- dangerous things for people who live alone in a remote setting. I know that you plan to redo the stairs, but for now, you could buy a premade railing of some sort and fasten it to the to of the stair treads themselves -- a FLAT surface that you should have no problem attaching hardware to, as opposed to trying to fasten something to those logs. Please consider this for your immediate safety. You probably can even get something that will be re-usable when you rebuild the staircase.
Hi Alone, take care of your foot, soaking it in hot water and Epson salt might help it. You have a better shop than a lot of guys I know, lol. Nice job on the step. Take care and take it easy.
You have a heck of a lot of patience to be chiseling all that out Alone.Alex would be ripping out the whole stair case no doubt. We have some older scrapyard friends with an old stair case like you. It hurt's for the short legs. Nice job!
I'm so sorry. Things like this is why I worry you're alone Alone. Bless your foot. Stay off let it heal or you'll just keep having trouble. Prayers friend. So glad you getting better and got stairs fixed.
Im sure 683 other people who actually care about your safety have said this. You need the longer screws . So they go through the tread and into the riser log below. It would be much stronger and less likely to get loose in the future. Some glue wouldn't be a bad idea also.
I hope you're back on your feet in no time! It's probably a good think that you met your neighbor(s) when ya did...That could have been bad had that happened last winter.
Take care, Alone.
you could add a rug runner down the middle to add for safety and for decor, it almost seems like the steps needs to be even bigger for easier access going up and down and for safety, and they seem to be far apart maybe add extras, so re place them to be closer together, and add more that you would need. take care❤
I would avoid wearing stockings/socks - seems too slippery?
Foot and ankle injuries can be tricky to heal. We have to get around yet it's hard to with that type of injury. My brother had an issue getting a foot injury to heal. Good luck to you and be careful.
I hope you’re well! I would love to hear you do a weather report letting us know what it’s doing in your area.
Hope you heal fast , do mind your foot , it can take weeks. Depending on your injury , Those stairs !! I think it’s more a ladder/stairs ? Could you maybe try get a proper stairs fit even if you loose floor space , Some carpentry. Shop can make up your stairs in sections. It then arrives to be fitted together “ this is how I got mine for my attic room. You have to use this stairs minimum twice a day it needs to be safe especially if you have to carry things up ! Ladders are really for occasional use . Good job in the step repairs 👍 and you building up good hand rails will make a huge difference ( Wishing you a speedy recovery . 😊🙏
O dear. Every amazons fear. I am so sorry you fell. Those stairs would have killed me in the second episode! Hip on one side, knee on the other, lol. Winter looks full on but thank God you had a neighbour to get you. Getting wood in is huge when you have an ouchy bit. Anywhere else you can store it? Everyone here is pulling for you. May God bless and heal you❤
Glad the two treads are fixed. So sorry you took a tumble and hurt your foot. Hope it isn’t broken! Take care! 😊❤️ hope you heal up quickly and completely 🙏
Life is so much fun when you live Alone, be careful and best wishes, nice job repairing stairs
Luckily the fall wasn’t worse than it was. I’m glad you’re on the mend
Be careful maybe a better railing we don't want anything happening to you ❤Have a great day 📹👌👍😉
Hello my friend. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I’m sorry that you are injured. You are a rock star continuing to work on those stairs while recovering from a fall. 💕🤗🎄
A Cats Paw would be what You need for that stairway.
Sorry that you got injured. Recover soon ❤
Never use already used holes make new holes.
Be well and blessings for you and your wonderful neighbors.
A speedy recovery with your foot you did a very nice job on those stairs young lady you Raston take it easy you’ll heal fast
🤗 Hope you heal fast.
Oh dear, sorry you got hurt. Wishing you a swift recovery.
It’s good to see you as always. As bad as it is, it’s certainly looks like it could’ve been a tragic fall! i’m praying that you heal well and quickly.
Howdy, Thank you for Sharing 🎅Ace
Get well. Bee a good girl!😆
Maybe you might want to have a daybed or somewhere downstairs that you can sleep if for whatever reason you can’t get up or down the stairs.
This.
I'm sorry to hear about your injury but glad it was not much worse. Hope you heal rapidly. Stay safe.
Oouucch! So sorry that happened to you Alone! We hope for a speedy recovery! Maybe you can just film your snow pole from inside so you can be part of the challenge? Just a thought! Great job on the stairs. Safer for sure!

I am so sorry to hear about your foot. Sounds similar to what happened to my ankle. I tore my posterior tibial tendon (had to get an mri to see that). Orthopedic surgeon put me in a boot and put me on steriods. When I went back for a recheck he said I needed surgery or wear a boot because tendon tears do not heal. I gave it some time and it healed. I credit the carnivore way of eating that did the healing, and a hard arch support. I also had damage to the plantar fasciitis. 3 years later and all is good as long as I keep using a firm arch support. Speedy healing vibes headed your way!
Oh my goodness! I am so sorry you fell & got hurt! Also thankful you didn't break anything! Please take care of yourself! You & Kenai be safe! 🙏💜
Feel better soon. I tripped down my stairs and ended up with a compound fracture a few years ago. The bone went right thru the bottom of my foot. Then, they insisted i stay in hospital on a iv drip for 7 days. It was terrible. 😊🙏🇨🇦
😬😖....sounds awful
Oh no! I hope I didn’t jinx you with my comment on your last video. I tried to warn you about falling on those darn steps, like I did. Hope you heal up quickly. 😊❤
So sorry you were injured. Praying for fast healing.
Alone I am so glad it wasn’t broken! Don’t know if they will allow you to do an Epsom salt foot soak or not! But it would help with healing an stiffness an soreness too! I will keep you and you side kick Kenai in prayer
Oh noooo!!!! I am happy to hear you are ok and no broken bones...but hope you have a speedy recovery with your foot! Much love!!! xoxoxoxo
Sorry you hurt yourself. My sister broke her foot and I went and helped her for three months. Suggestions how about a wheelchair get around which would be easier for you most churches have what they call a clothes closet that they loan out hospital equipment for free.
Prayers for fast healing.
Hugs to Kenai
Blessings to you. 😊🇺🇲
Well done on the stair repair 👍 I’m crossing my fingers it isn’t a planter facia injury as they are notoriously long to heal. 🌻🌻
Alone… sorry to hear that you injured your foot. Had to skip-ahead a few episodes to see about your well being. Take care. Tim
Hi Alone, good job on those steps..heal up and getter done… sorry your hurt, sending you best healing in my hearts care package.
Most steps are standard so you get used to that until you encounter steps that arent standard and break your ankle falling down them which I did. Just by looking at the stairs they look like theyre not evenly spaced. I hope you can fix them soon and be careful now.
I hope you feel better soon! It’s not easy to be injured and sick there, I imagine. Take care!
Hi Alone,
Plantar Fasciitis pain is real. I've been dealing with it too. At first I had a splint ( I didn't have to wear a boot) the Podiatrist recommended inserts for my shoes and a brand of shoes that has the arch just right to help with the pain and I have to say it works. The shoes are Merrell encore but they other shoes that work in the Merrell brand also Skechers Arch fit. When wearing those shoes, i have no pain. Whether its plantar fasciitis or a broken heel it takes time to heal. Let me know if you are interested in what worked for me. Rest up and get better soon! ❤
I think she meant she may have injured her fascia - plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the fascia not the actually band of tissue.
Kenai knows you’re hurt. He’s such the goodest boy!
I wish you speedy recovery.
Awe man, bummer. Hope you get some help with toting firewood and ashes. Please be careful!
Ice helps. Ive broken sprained my left foot 7 times.
Get well soon. I think your hair looks pretty pulled up in a ponytail. Women with power tools! We are a force to be wreckened with. 😊 Your new chairs are so nice looking. Good place for you to sit and heal from the injury. Peace Love Happiness 💖💖
Sorry that you got injured. So much knowledge you have to get your things done in the cabin. Always look forward to your videos 😊
I am glad you are okay. You amaze me with all your knowledge and all you accomplish.
I absolutely LUV your skirts!!!!! 🥰
Sorry to hear about your fall and I hope your recovery goes well. I was at work and slipped on a front door rug and ended up with a broken ankle. I am in the 9th week of recovery still wearing a boot and will be slowly graduating into a brace. Thank goodness you didn’t break anything. Sending you blessing and Thank you for posting.
Awesome, have a great day
January 2022 I fell down the last 3 steps at a vacation rental. I ended up with a concussion, a broken vertebrae in my back and 4 torn ligaments in my left ankle which required surgery and a month in a wheel chair. Please, please put a hand rail on the other side as well and better lighting.
So sorry you injured your foot! You should take anti Inflamatories like aspirin and or Aleve for the severe pain to keep the inflamation down. The swelling prevents healing. Being that you have trouble putting weight on it maybe torn ligaments or hairline fracture in a bone that would not be picked up on X-ray but would show up on MRI. Wear the boot then you should get ace bandage for support when walking and have it wrapped. I have been through many of these with broken and torn ligaments in my ankle and knee. I carry ace bandages where ever I go because I am prone to these injuries. These are always good things to have in the cabin. Because we dont want to think that bad things are going to happen but they do end up happening.
I am sorry to hear that you have gotten injured, glad that you did not break any bones and are still able to get around the cabin and somewhat function, 🙏 praying for a speedy recovery. Take care and quick healing.
Going to the outhouse must be a long miserable task though with all that snow to navigate.
Oh, that sucks! Now you're going to have to do a live-stream board game night. lol
I’m just now seeing this, so sorry hope you were able to sleep downstairs. Also, if you can get one, a knee scooter works wonders for getting around the house. I do glad you’re getting those dangerous stairs lined out. Turmeric is a great natural anti inflammatory. It’s also is a blood thinner. Be careful sister. As bad as it was, I’m just glad it didn’t end as bad as it could have. God bless.
Sorry you got hurt prayers for a speedy recovery
Gosh, sorry to hear about your fall. Hopeful that you have quick recovery! Take care Alone, and hugs for Kenai.
I would cut the step right down the center, you might have to make two cuts to remove a small section of the step then just pull towards you
Being a do it yourselfer has its occupational hazards indeed! But it's satisfying when the job is done. Stay safe Annie!!
typo in my previous comment, should read "fasten it to the TOP of the treads..."
Prayers from Maine… for a speedy recovery, Alone!🙏🙏
Praying for a speedy recovery.🙏
God bless you and Kenai.
Howdy Alone,
Please take it slow and allow you foot to heal completely..
I am not here much anymore so I will also wish you MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR.

You are totally an inspiration! I hate that you're injured and hope your recovery is quick!
Amazing job on the stairs repair.
Stay warm AND SAFE! Prayers for healing. ❤️🙏
Oh my goodness, I hope you better soon. Definitely not fun. I fell in August. My tendons pulled bone off. Or something pulled a piece of bone off. Anyway, my foot still hurts today so all my love to you. Take it easy. ~ Janet 😘.
