Would you live so remotely? Please share why or why not.
I would love to. I just turned 50 and feel like its to late for me to. I would have to do whatbyou did as well. My 2 sons are growing upand will be out of the house soon and I have been married to someone who would not enjoy this life style:(
I watch some other channels on homesteading who started older than 50. Its never too late! Some still live close to towns as well. In Alaska you can basically live "remote" and still get Starbucks! :-) Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
@@dennisoverholts8396 50! just a kid I just turned 70 and am not slowing down, didn't come to Ak till I was 65
You're a very fortunate lady, living in such a gorgeous country where you can live amongst the trees and enjoy nature. I did sorta the same thing, but I bought a nice old house on a quarter acre four hours drive from the city, and I love living here on my own! it's in a small country town surrounded by mountains and vineyards. My kids are all grown up, two of my boys are interstate and with the way things are going in Australia, we may not hug each other for years. If I lived in the US, I would have moved to Alaska as well. What an amazing wealth of beauty it has! the wildlife would be a little scary but the sound those wolves made me long to go there. Good on you for listening to your heart, I wish you and your sweet dog all the happiness in the world 😊
Four hours from the city sounds perfect! Sounds like you are very fortunate as well :-) Nothing better than living in a small country town. Everyone is so nice to each other and helpful. Australia is beautiful country and I love seeing documentaries about it. Since I probably will never get a chance to go there. But I don't even plan to go back to the lower 48 either :-) I really miss my children as well but they get to see my life through this channel and we communicate more now even if its just to tell me how to make my videos better :-) Thank you so much for the view and the comment and I wish you happiness as well!
Great channel. I am 70 and live alone on a small off grid ranch with 2 cats, 2 dogs, an old thoroughbred, a pony and minimule
Been here 3 years and I love it. Thank you for your films, gonna watch every one!!!
Being alone is a wonderful place to be.
I have been married, had children, there are grandchildren and great grandchildren in my resume, however all through my life my husband's and children said I was a pioneer woman.
For a long time, I'm 74 now, I dreamed of having a homestead, fully self sustainable.
At different times I did, until my husband's wanted something else so we moved where they wanted to go.
Your life is what you want and your happy.
I became a nomad traveling where I want to go. Someday I might want to buy a place when and if I find it.
Be safe and be happy. I love your videos and your life choice.
I get asked about that all the time! Yes I love the solitude out here! So quiet sometimes you can hear your heart beat. Its very therapeutic. I don't have grandchildren yet. But I know I will someday! My kids know that I will never leave Alaska now that I am here! I sacrificed plenty for most of my life and its my turn to live the life I want! Someday I may even get to share this homestead with someone but even if that doesn't happen, you can't beat this lifestyle! Always something to do and I love it! I almost did the RV life! I know that would have been fun too but I can't even imagine not living here now! I am so happy you are enjoying my channel Denise! It is an honor to have you along for my journey! 😉💚
I think alot of people don't understand the solace us introverts find in being alone or just keeping company with animals.
I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada and off the beaten path, I'm very content to putter in my garden, make amazing meals and hang out with my 2 GSD'S.
It does confuse some people. My family included. I had many friends and coworkers and enough boyfriends when I was in Colorado. I just enjoyed going to the mountains and camping by myself more!😉 Well with my dog Kenai! Just something so freeing about it. I don't really get bored so I can keep busy cooking and yeah I enjoy chores. Maybe not bringing in firewood so much! 🤣 But just sitting outside and listening to the wind in the trees is just so relaxing. Add a beer to that and oh yeah, I'm good! Welcome Twisted Frannie from Nova Scotia! So cool! 😁
Beautiful filming and personal story. I lived in Alaska for 60 years....a majority of my life.
I totally get it! I'm an introvert also. The older I get the less tolerance for people I have. And I definitely prefer Sam's company to most people. 💖💜💖
You are awesome. I migrated from CA.... came here on vacation, before I got out of Ted stevens I listed my house in ca .a year later I'm off grid like you . I like your background story .... funny how when your looking for a new home state and alaska comes in the pic all the rest kinda go away lol. Be safe and keep loving that pup of yours , lots of hugs n cuddles . love your 2 interactions..especially holding paws . My buddy passed away I held his paw every night for 12 years to sleep . It's special .
Hello Wes! And congrats on making the best move of your life! 🤗And I know exactly what you mean! I looked in Colorado, Oregon, Washington, Montana and Idaho but nothing could keep me away from Alaska! Sounds like you gave your pups the best life he/she could possibly have had! That's so awesome! 🧡 Kenai is the same way. As long as I am holding his paw or just put a finger on his fur, he is content and snoring! 😴🙄 It would be an honor to have you along for my journey here! Kenai is in most of my videos! But he is camera shy. 🤭
Your dog truly loves you.
Love Gunsmoke and Bonanza. Clint Eastwood..my favorite western movie is Lonesome Dove. Would of been nice to live back then. Freedom.
Hmmm favorite western? The Good, The Bad and the Ugly and Silverado! Lonesome Dove was an awesome movie too! Thank you so much! :-)
You're like me in a lot of ways. I don't see your life as lonely but as a good happy life.Glad I found your channel.
Yes living alone is not the same as being lonely. I prefer the solitude and it is just so quiet here. I would say this solitude is very therapeutic but I wouldn't mind help when I have 6 cords of wood to stack! So happy you found my channel too Sally!
Fellow introvert here
I prefer the company of animals to people.
Your dog is so gorgeous and wonderful.
Love your videos.
OMG you are so correct! The unconditional love you get from an animal is amazing! They just want to be loved. Kenai is my buddy out here. My shadow! And he is a spoiled brat! Thank you so much! 🤗🧡
I just discovered your channel today (Feb 2023), but it is great so far! You are an inspiration for me--my Dad loved the outdoors, and we did canoe trips, camping trips as a family, including 2 2-week stints in the boundary waters between Minnesota and Canada. I have been hooked on this kind of lifestyle ever since. After growing up in St. Louis and then the last 40 years in the Phoenix, AZ, area, I am so sick of big city living, and thankfully, at nearly 62 I am in good shape and good health--my goal is to make it to Alaska and make this later stage of my life a grand adventure. Thanks for your videos--I look forward to catching up!
Catching up on early vids. As far as me living alone in a remote area, although I am an introvert, I like to live near (within a mile) of a neighbor or two, mostly because lots can happen where one might need a friend nearby. Also, an occasional get-together with a few good friends is always nice, like a monthly book group or a full moon gathering or the occasional potluck. But I'm with you that living in the city sucks.
Anywhere with a good dog is home. Congrats on your journey!
I 100% agree with you there Richard! And thank you so much! 🤗🧡
Hi there, I found your channel yesterday. I like how natural you are and the way you talk about what brought you to Alaska. Watching now the episodes from the start. Greetings from Poland !🇵🇱 😀
Hello Dawid! Careful, some of my videos get a bit wacky. Just trying to have some fun and teach myself about video editing and camera angles. LOL! Thank you so much for watching my videos and commenting! It is an honor to have you here for my journey! :-)
Once you stated you're an introvert, it all made sense to me .
I linked from Moose Henderson's page (where, in my thoughts - he's going thought a "difficult" time)
I could live remotely, IF, it was in a warm climate - New Zealand comes to mind .
I will play through these chronologically, and I am enjoying your adventures ..
I love watching Moose! He is adorable! He is going through some rough times but I think he is really trying to regroup and that's what matters! LOL living remote in New Zealand sounds awesome! Too warm for me though! I'd melt! Live your dream Doctorjoey3! Thank you so much!
Hi! Dianna Moody here. You are amazing! I wish I'd known when we were in school together how many interests we have in common. I'm excited to continue watching your videos and seeing your adventures.
Hello Dianna! It has certainly been a long time huh!? I was definitely an outdoorsy kind of gal back then but it was a few years later before I knew I would end up in Alaska! It is a honor to have you along for my journey here! And thank you so much for joining! That is so awesome! Keep an eye on the community posts! That is where I will post the weekly sneak peek for my videos! 🤗🧡
Watched many of your videos without subbing or liking. NOW going back after subbed and giving a ‘like’ to your postings. You ARE Awesome. 🥰🥰
Ahhhh thank you so much Tomas! I really do appreciate that!
Absolutely Beautiful
Thank you so much! :-) Alaska really is an awesome state! Beauty everywhere! :-)
I'm not sure how you landed in my recommends but I like you and I like what you doing. 👋🏽
HA! Well lucky me! And I am so glad you clicked on it! I hope you will stick around for my journey up here! Thank you Claytine! :-)
I came across this channel a couple of days ago and I loved your videos so much that I started back at the beginning of your vlogs.. I don't like people very much but I love the snow and used to love to cook and organise as well as gardening..I love your quirky nature and I will now live the life I can only dream of through you..I was diagnosed with PP MS 7 years ago and lately I have been using a wheelchair so because I spend alot of time in bed now I will have time to catch up on your videos to date.. keep them coming and stay safe..best wishes from Ireland ❤☘
I just discovered your channel! I would think a young woman living alone anywhere far from anyone, would need to be a strong capable woman. You are that. Cheers from British Columbia
Hello Brenda! I'm so glad you found my channel. I'd like to think I am strong and capable, probably mixed with a little crazy :-) There is a lot for me to learn and experience still so I am glad you will be joining me for this journey! :-)
I've lived off grid in Trapper Creek Alaska for 22 years now and I love it!!!
I almost bought a property up in Trapper Creek! Absolutely a beautiful area! Very lucky you! 😁
you are one brave woman. Bless you.
Thank you so much Candy! 🧡
Thank you for sharing your backstory with us. Great location. Stay safe, happy, warm and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
Your a courageous lady. Good for you
Thank you so much! :-)
Just amazing.🙋🏼♀️🇦🇺
Glad to see you have armed yourself and practiced.
Armed every time I go outside! Plenty of weaponry in the cabin too! Thank you Raymond!
I just discovered your channel and am watching your videos in order from #1 forward.
Thank you so much Lisa! I hope you enjoy the rest of the videos!
I just discovered your channel and I am glad I did. I am going to watch your videos and learn so much about Alaska. You have a beautiful dog. My name is Carri and I am from Ohio. 🐶💖😀⛰🌲🌳
Well hello there Carri! So glad you are here! Thank you so much for watching my videos and for commenting! I hope to see you often in the comments! :-)
Alone, I found your channel last week and have been watching your journey, catching up! I can so relate to your story. I am now 62 years old and after living in 5 states and following my father, then my husband's careers, I moved. Almost two years ago, I had the same revelation. Why am I still in Oklahoma? After 40 years of raising a family, divorce, and retiring from a career, things changed. I needed to move and decided for once to choose MY favorite. I was born in OR and lived in CA as a child. I visited WA, once in 2007, and had traveled all over the US for many years, alone. I choose Washington State. I live about an hour south of the Canadian border and about 10 miles east of the water. It is a valley where most of WA's fruit, flowers and vegetables are grown. I live a simple, inexpensive existence and couldn't be happier!!! The weather is mild all year, with seasonal changes and not the extreme weather I had endured. YOU go girl!! I totally get you. BTW, I am an introvert too and am happy to explore and live alone. I visit with people, on my terms. 😉
That is SO COOL! I love it Catherine! You know I almost moved to Washington State as well. I had it narrowed down to Alaska, Washington or Montana. None of the realtors I contacted in Washington or Montana ever called me back! But to be honest I wanted to move to Alaska anyway! Your little spot of heaven sounds perfect! It's funny though right?! You just realize one day "what the heck" and your eyes open up to go live your dream! I do love living alone (with Kenai) but yeah, ain't nobody visiting me out here unless I say so. And they couldn't find me anyway! 🤣 We introverts should start a yearly convention that nobody would go to! 🤣 Thank you so much for your comment Catherine! You take care! 😁
Wow. I stumbled across your channel and I'm hooked! I'm a nut for nature and my CZcams forays are always about living in remote areas alone. Also introverted, single, and with children almost grown and gone, you are inspiring me. I've always said that I could easily pack up and disappear. You may end up with a new neighbor in your state before too long!
LOL! Well come on over to Alaska Megan! There is plenty of room all over Alaska! Just make sure you plan properly and hopefully my videos can help there! This solitary life is just so awesome! SO worth it! LIVE YOUR DREAM!! 🧡
Just found u tonight. This is great. Thst has been my goal in life as well. We both grew up near Vancouver Canada and had a opportunity to leave hectic life behind and more up north (in northern bc) totally off grid. We are now retired and now live on grid but still a small what remote area. We only go to town every couple months and when I do get there….I wanna come home. Thank u for sharing your life with us 🌷🇨🇦
Sounds like you are still living your dream! Sometimes you have to make sacrifices. Anywhere away from the cities is great! But I know what you mean! When I go to town to resupply, I just can't relax until I hit open road again. It's like a big weight has been lifted.😜 I'm sure many don't understand that feeling from just going to town but when you live remote, it's just a whole new experience. Reminds you of why you left it. Even after a 17 hour drive, when I see my cabin, I just start grinning! 😁Thank you for joining my journey and please feel free to give me any advise 😉 Thank you Lyn!
I am enjoying your adventure! Just found you. Thank you! All the very, very best to you, be safe, and live your bliss.
So glad you found my channel Almarita! I post a new VLOG video every Thursday! I hope to see you in the comments again! Thank you so much! :-)
The Doggy`s like: "who the f... are you talking to"? Me?... lol
LOL! Kenai and I have long conversations especially in the middle of winter! LOL! Thank you so much Marit! 🧡
Living alone is great, I hate crowds, idiot people, traffic, I just want to be left alone to do what I want to do in life, I have 2 dogs that are my emotional support from my life adventures. I enjoy your life stories of what you went through and of just how you want to live, can't wait to continue to see of what your life adventures brings to your life... God Bless......
You're awesome and so is your dog. We used to live there. I absolutely love that part of the country up there. Miss it greatly....Wonderful country. Be mindful and stay safe. You are in a wonderful place! Now you will know what they mean when they say "Once you go to Alaska, you never come all the way back"...Best wishes!
Oh I really do love it here! I actually believe I will never go back to the lower 48. My kids know where I am! 😁 I hope you get a chance to make it back here though! Best state in the union! Thank you so much Gregory!
Nice!! Boredom is not in my vocabulary either. You are my new cyber friend Hon! Love your creativity and courage.
The infamous coffee ground shot that everyone does on CZcams! It was only my 5th video so I had to try stuff! 🤣 And there is just so much to do here! Boredom!? No chance! Heck I haven't even played solitaire once since I have been here! Had to make those cards from card stock just for the video! 😁
I just found your channel, and look forward to follow your journey in the wildernes
Thank you so much! I am so happy you found my channel! I try to post every Thursday! Unless I have power or internet issues! 🧡
I have to say I finally found your first video here, ive watched about 10 or your videos and they are definitely full of your interesting stories. I bought some land in Manley Hot Springs northwest of Fairbanks on the Tanana and next year will be the year i will clear an area and lay gravel. Im planning on building a few rental cabins for the moose hunters and travelers on the Tanana River. I absolutely hate the summers in Louisiana. Im retiring in a few years and plan on wintering in Louisiana and spend summer in Alaska. Im absolutely in love with the subarctic summers.
I fill you I retired 3 years ago and I don't leave my farm unless I have too, I like being alone, I have my dogs, chickens and I am learning to garden.
Found your channel last night and immediately subscribed. I will also live vicariously through your adventures. Being from South Africa I would definitely not be able to adapt to such a cold climate, although Alaska is beautiful.
You are a brave woman with a lovely dog.
South Africa! WOW! We definitely have a difference in climates don’t we! Maybe you could not live here but I think I would literally melt in South Africa! 🤣I have always been a cold climate kind of gal! Thank you so much for the sub and comment! It is a pleasure to have you along for my adventures here in Alaska! And thank you for the compliment! Kenai says thank you too!!😁
Love your store so far . I think you are a brave woman doing this with just your dog cant wait to more .
Daniel! You have so many more episodes to watch! LOL! I am documenting as I go! Thank you so much!
This vid explains a lot about your story and how you got there. Much respect for chasing your dreams! I will continue to follow your adventures and look forward to more! Stay warm and well!
Thank you very much! I appreciate you joining my journey! Nothing feels better than warmth!
Before you even said it your a tough cookie...starting watching your journey already i thought to myself...wow she is defo a tough cookie😂
Tough and/or stubborn!🤣 LOL! I knew I wanted this life and I was going to make it happen no matter what! And here I am! Loving life! Thank you so much! 🧡🤗💚
Wow you and I are alike in so many ways. I enjoy being alone as well with my dog and my birds. I know what it is to rough it on a sail boat and have enjoyed the water for many years.
I consider you so much braver than me! Scared to death of water! Dogs make better companions anyway. BUT they still snore a lot! LOL :-) Thank you so much Kathy!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska Your very welcome!
I relate so much to your story - a Colorado refugee myself, I'll be headed north to AK later this year to find my cabin with similar goals and aspirations. Encouraging to find your channel - another solo female. :) I've lived off grid in the Yukon and elsewhere. I dream of returning to the north that so captured my soul a decade ago. Thanks for inspiring us and reminding me what I am capable of! I remember myself better meeting you and others along similar pathways.
Hello fellow Coloradan!! There are a few Coloradans in the comments. I really hope you find some nice property and cabin up here! And if you have previous experience you won’t go through some of what I am experiencing! :-) I really do hope to inspire people to do this life especially if they have always wanted to. Thank you Rebecca! :-)
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska Well, I'm sure I will learn along the way and recall some things I may have forgotten! I'll look forward to more of your videos in the meantime. (Btw, I am wondering if you are using Hughesnet and how you've found that for uploading vids if so?)
Actually I have DSL service. And its so so. I can do my job daily but uploading a long video or a 4K video! Forget it! But once Elon Musk gets his Starlink into Alaska (ETA 2022/3) that will be a game changer. I may still not be able to do 4K videos but I could do longer ones. :-)
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska Ah, ok! Thanks for the info!
Well I just want to let you know your are very incredible woman I'm very impressed and I just want to let you know that you're doing a great job and your dog and you are awesome and you're very very very smart to me about a Denver and love to hear more of your story
Well Travis you have a bunch of episodes to watch! LOL! I am trying to document as I go! Thank you kindly for the compliments! Hope to see you in the comments again!
As a single woman living in the woods, people ask me if I get lonely. I tell them there’s a big difference between loneliness and solitude! Being an introvert, I can go weeks without seeing anyone and it doesn’t bother me in the least.
Oh my God we are so alike. I'm currently watching everyone of your videos. Praying you're finding you're true self again.
I do love to hear that! Best part about this life is you will find yourself. It wont be obvious at first but just knowing what I have done and what I am capable of doing gets put to the test everyday! Thank you so much! :-)
I love Kenai immensely, he was so funny sitting over you.
He just loves you so much, it was hilarious with him looking love drunk. I think he enjoyed smelling your hair.
I started fantasizing about Alaska after discovering and getting into the 'reruns' of the TV show Northern Exposure in the late 90s, never having had any prior interest in Alaska as I'm not crazy about the cold weather at all, - but now I'm over done with the brutal humid long Summers in Savannah.
I battle with my mind realizing I'm in the perfect spot but having been born here I need to be able to look where I'm at and have it be nothing like what it does here. Which is absolutely beautiful and I wish I could just stay here but I can't. I just don't want to be here anymore and I'm ready for a whole new change and like you, I have had this fantasy about the old Wild West too.
Watching that TV show really pulled me into wanting to go to Alaska and actually do exactly what you're doing.
However a few years back, while surfing the net, I unexpectedly came across a little riverfront property in Southern Colorado in a very small remote little town and spontaneously bought it sight unseen because the price was absolutely excellent and it's legal for off-grid living. I was finally able to make it there from Savannah Georgia 10 months later and it will still be a few years until I can afford to renovate my home here/sell it and finally move to Colorado. Meanwhile I watch videos like yours, and live vicariously through channels like this while planning in my mind on the details of my future and ideas of a tiny Off-Grid home and figuring it all out at age 55.
I'll also be doing it all alone with no plans for a man troubling my life.
Same, I'm soooo content with my pets and my own solitude.
Kenai is a goof ball and a huge teddy bear! He is a spoiled brat!
I loved watching Northern Exposure! I don't think I have seen all of the episodes but it was a fun show to watch. Savannah GA (just like Colorado) is gorgeous country but just over populated. Out here, life just slows down! I love it! And I was ready for the change! I have been dreaming this life for so long! Rebuilding a cabin is a huge undertaking! I didn't get my property for a steal because the previous owners still loved this property. I think they would have been perfectly fine not selling it. It had been on the market for many years. I truly believe nobody bought it because of the roof. In fact I passed on the property because of the roof. But when I flew to Alaska and saw the property in person, I made an offer on the spot for full asking price! And the owners where happy that I loved the property as is and had no intensions of tearing it all down and starting over.
At 55 years young, you will be fine! just know your limitations and get help when needed. You may only need to hire a man for awhile! 😁 But the solitude is SO worth it and pets just make it all better! I wish you all my best in your renovation project! Colorado is a great state if you are out in the country! And I hope my channel can help you out in every way possible! Thank you so much! 🧡🤗💚
Discovered your channel. Subscribed and following!!!!!
Thank you so much Matthew! I really do appreciate that! :-)
Hello I just saw some of your videos and subscribe to your Channel and I'll most likely binge Watch your videos😊
Episode 5! Seems like ages ago! Thank you so much for the sub and I hope you enjoy my other videos! 😉🧡
What peace you must have. That is beautiful. Watching your transformation.
It has been a transformation for sure! I love it! I no longer have to dream this life I just live it now! I wonder how much more it will transform in the coming years! Thank you so much Christine! 🧡
I'm obsessed
HA! Well thank you! You should try it! It's SO worth it! Thank you so much!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska ♡♡♡ tysm 😊
Your channel I found via random methods but I am watching it straight thru in sequence now. Lots of good video, Good Dog also, Will comment further along.
I am very glad you found my channel! I love to get comments from fellow Alaskans! Even with all the research and practice I did prior to moving to Alaska, its nice to get that nudge in the right direction from time to time! Episode 13 is Kenai's story :-)
Hello from Arizona. What a beautiful state we have in our union
Alaska is gorgeous but so is Arizona! I need snow!! LOL
God bless you
Thank you so much Robert!
New subscriber , I’m in the same position, kids have all grown and thankfully I can retire from work . I’m only a few videos in on your new life and looking forward to seeing how it all falls into place . Thank you for documenting your journey , all the best from Australia 🇦🇺
Hello Luke! Thank you so much for the sub, views and comment! I am happy you will be joining me on my journey here in Alaska! Live your dream! Australia is gorgeous country!
My wife and I just began watching your videos. We love Alaska and have made 4 trips since 2016. We probably would be living there already but can't bring ourselves to leaving our daughter(Beth), husband(Dan), daughter(Lexi), and son(Vince). We look forward to watching all of your videos and getting to know you through them. Kenai is a great looking dog. We'd like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a blest New Year!
Robert! I am glad you found my channel and if there are any questions you have about Alaska please feel free to ask away! Leaving the lower 48 was a big decision for me! To come out here and live alone in a remote location is just not something people do. At least not normal people.🤪 I had to make that decision to leave my family and coworkers and yes I miss them all, but I would not change a thing! My kids contact me more than they ever did when I lived in the city. My coworkers are always just fascinated about my life out here. Family seems to be the number one reason people do not make that final leap! Too bad they all don't want to live in Alaska! How perfect would that be! Kenai is my companion out here and we protect each other. And Merry Christmas to all of you as well! Live your Dream Robert! 🧡
The further away from people, the better I like it. Iam a male, divorced and custody of my 3 kids, 6,7,8 --to me. Always lived out in the country. Raised kids for 14 years by myself. I have enough hobbies to keep my mind sharp, and skills.
Hi Alone. I'm new here and just trying to play catch up on your channel. Love your story.
Hello again! It's great to see you in the comments again. 🤗 It's so nice that you watch my videos and you take all the time you need! They will be here for you! Thank you so much! 😉💚
Wow - You are such an inspiration!! You are living my dream! I’m in New Zealand 🇳🇿 and in the same position. My adult daughter has grown and has her own place. I’m working and can work remotely. I want to go off grid and live a more isolated meaningful life in nature. Im definitely following your journey x
Oh you are so ready to make that jump now. Do it! It's so worth it! New Zealand is such beautiful country and I hear land is not too expensive. Of course that was 5 years ago. I hope my videos will help you live your dream! Stay tuned! I am very glad you are joining me on my journey and I sure hope you have your own journey soon! :-)
I am an introvert too. I would love to this when I get older. I subscribed to your channel. Excited to watch more new videos from you! :) I just worry that what if I live away from the city, the security. What if a bad person goes to my cabin. That’s my worry. But it will still take years for me to move like what you did since I’m still in my 20s. ^^ Thank you alone for sharing your beautiful videos there in Alaska!
You definitely have time on your side but don't let the dream slip away. Time also has a way of slipping past you! I worry about people with bad intentions less out here than I did in the city. With the wild animals on my property, a stalker would be in more danger than me! And I'm not going to go rescue them! And this is why I carry my gun at all times as well. There is also the security of living near hospitals and grocery stores. That's definitely something you have to prepare for. No matter where you decide to go, just do your research! Thank you so much for the sub and comment Twixie! :-) I post a new VLOG video every Thursday!
You did the right thing. Beautiful home.
Thanks for the vote of confidence! Appreciate it and the view!
I hate the city. Once you have land, you can never go back. You are very adventurous. I would like to move a little farther and off grid. I don't know how to live in snow though...Same for me. I'm an introvert and I love spending time with my pets and growing food.
Snow is the main way of life up here! It definitely snows a lot! This is why I tend to stock up for 8 months over winter, in case I get trapped in. I hate how noisy cities are and just too many people. Owning land does change you perspective for sure! Kenai is my buddy! I don't feel alone because he is my shadow! And nothing feels better than growing food. Well except maybe eating it! :-)
Hi! I just found your channel and I love it! I am learning a lot from you! I can relate to you because I have no husband or boyfriend and my kids are grown. One day I would like to do something similar to what you did, however Alaska would be too much of isolation (although I am also an introvert). Maybe because I am from Puerto Rico which is the opposite of Alaska in terms of weather. Keep up the good work!!!!
Yeah PR is definitely opposite! It's too hot there! LOL! :-) I would melt! You can live remote anywhere obviously and need to be comfortable doing it! This truly is my dream life! Live your dream Alicea!!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska yes, very hot! True!😀
New to your channel. I will continue to watch you. It is my dream to visit Alaska.
Welcome Becky! Please live your dream! Alaska is so worth the trip! Thank you so much!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska I will learn from you Right now we're getting ready to move to the mountains in NC. We now live in the Piedmont. We are moving to Brevard NC.
Just found your channel and have been watching your journey to Alaska! Loving it❤️❤️
Ahhh thank you so much! I have been documenting as I go so its more of a continual story! Stay tuned!
Great to live your dreams! And yours are out of the ordinary, congratulations! Alaska, I couldn't, I'm vegan and I don't like the cold, so I left the city for the countryside 250 miles further south in France
LOL! Yeah I love the cold! Even when its 30 below! Now we have hit 70-80's I am dying!! Good for you leaving the city! This lifestyle is perfect for vegans though! Grow a huge garden and you are set! And in France too! Great weather for growing stuff! Thank you so much Verena! 🧡
New subscriber here. I just found your channel today and I love it! Such beautiful country our there. I wish you the best in your new home and look forward to many more videos and adventures. Thank you for sharing your dream with us. Love from Miami. ☀️🌴🪸🌻
I am so happy you found my channel! Thank you so much for the comment and the sub! Alaska is beautiful and dangerous! I am so happy you will be joining me for my journey here! Alaska and Florida! That’s about as far away (in between) as you can get in the US! LOL! :-)
@@AloneinRemoteAlaskaThank You!! ☺️
I like your style.
Hey you know what?? So do I!! LOL I think I fit well in Alaska! :-)
I watched those shows too and grizzley adams type too. I too do fine not seein people. My neighbors are far enough away that i dont see them or their houses. Been here 6yrs n i dont even know them by site.
LOL! Great shows huh! I still watch them! And that's the best kind of neighbor to have! LOL Thank you so much!
You are doing everything I've always wanted to do, you go girl, I think you are amazing !!! Thanks for these wonderful videos !!!
You bet Roy! You should go do this too! Doesn’t have to be in Alaska but there is plenty of room out here! It’s a huge state! Thank you so much for always commenting my videos! I really do appreciate that! And thank you so much for the compliment! :-)
enjoy so much
I'm watching your vids from the first one !
I am so enjoying this. I’m so glad you decided to do this vlog. 😊
I still am VERY camera shy but I am getting better! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
You would be surprised how many of us women feel the same way you do.
Thank you so much for confirming my lifestyle it’s hard to explain to people how you live alone as a woman with a dog or two and you were just fine. I don’t think people get it but I am so grateful you did this I’m 59 by the way.
I had a viewer tell me when I first started my channel that I was going to die! LOL! I mean I know my limitations but I still know my capabilities as well and we can anything a man can. Just some things can be easier with two people! Like shooting CZcams videos!! LOL! 🤣🧡
I’ve just found your channel and I’m watching from the start, my favourite CZcams channel is Simple Living Alaska so your channel caught my eye, I think you are so brave to do this on your own plus dog, I look forward to watching your journey ❤️
Welcome aboard Pauline! I love watching Simple Living Alaska! Although I admit, I am lagging behind in their videos lately. Just means a bunch to catch up on! Eric and Ariel are great! I would love to meet them someday. My channel is different though. 😁 This is definitely just me and my dog Kenai! I love living in remote Alaska and living this life! It's a dream come true! If you are watching from the start, cut me a little slack ok 🤣 I had never filmed or edited a video until I started this channel 5 months ago. 😜 Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I release a new video every Thursday! Thank you Pauline!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska your videos are great love seeing the journey all the scenery very different from UK ❤️
@@paulineclarke5388 I have a few followers from the UK so it is great to have you here! So many videos planned for the future! Glad you are here to join me on this journey! 😁
My wife and I live in Wasilla and have been here since 2000. We plan on retiring somewhere which has much milder winters once we retire. We have children and grandchildren here as well as in the lower 48 but I often find myself fighting depression here, especially during the long winters. I give you credit for being remote and having little to no interaction with people but I couldn’t do it even as an introvert myself. I love nature and the outdoors which is why we will probably head somewhere in the Southwest or Southeast areas. How do you deal with not being able to visit with your children?
Once my kids moved out to pursue their dreams , I was pretty much all by myself already. It was when I realized that I was coming home from work to an empty house (except for Kenai) that it really made no difference if I continued to live alone in Colorado or Alaska. I could stop planning to live in Alaska and just do it. But to be honest, starting this CZcams channel has brought us closer, even if it is just to roast me on my videos :-) They seem to actually want to visit me to make sure I am ok. As far as interactions with people, its more or less never been an issue for me being an introvert even if I have to overcome that posting videos. The long winters in Alaska are tough, as you well know, but for me, the solitude brings me sanity. The Southeast/west have some great places to live though and with far less snow :-)
@Living in Alaska, I recommend checking out Savannah Georgia,..If you haven't already done so. The crime isn't too bad, aside from lately we've had some shootings which I have grown accustomed to a pattern happening where it's temporary to see this and it's typically not long-term and with those being involved in such a thing, these are usually a group of people instigating this within their own group.
I recommend the areas of, and in this order...
Isle of Hope, Burnside Island, Wilmington Island.
Savannah is very shaded having huge big beautiful trees almost everywhere and also palm trees. I hope you'll look up pictures of how our rare Spanish Moss decorates the trees.
The cost of living is very affordable, there are affordable homes and the prices have not gone skyrocketing like certain cities.
Even though the price of fuel has gone up everywhere it's still not that bad here as compared to other cities and everything is close to everything you need.
The tourism here makes it to where there is always something to do and plenty to see.
I will warn you though, we have very hot Long Summers and the humidity is high but we are in close proximity to Hilton Head Island South Carolina where they have a beach and we have Tybee Island.
We are not the type of city that has interstate highways running through the city, aside from a couple of Parkways and bypasses. Also the city is easy to navigate being on a grid.
My first impression is that you suit so well in the Cabin and it's environment. So cosy and free together with your beloved Canine friend. I'm curious in regard of his heritage, is there some Lab, Shepherd or Nordic breed whitin him. It seems a very sweet big boy and great company. Till the next video I have a little catching up to do. For now it's bedtime in Belgium.
Thanks. This definitely feels like home! I plan on doing a video about Kenai, my canine companion. I hope that you will watch it.
Dick Preneake is my Super Hero:)
Oh this is gonna be good! (New sub here). I think many of us are/have experience feeling the way you did prior to going to Ak. I think it is incredible you have the intestinal fortitude to do it. Will have to binge watch to catch up. Keep em coming!
You’re doing it right !!
I give you a lot of credit. You are doing things many people couldn’t do which should make you pretty proud of yourself. We have made the trek out toward Glennallen several times, especially this past year as our daughter has been up in Paxson on a road project up there as a heavy equipment operator. Not much out that way. Don’t go all the way into Anchorage, you can get most of the same products here in the Valley. We have all the major grocery stores, Big Box Stores, Wal-Mart and a couple Three Bears here and a meat store, Mat-Valley Meats. Saves a couple hours of driving on those trips not having to go into Anchorage.
Ahh thank you! I am very proud of myself that I finally made my life long dream come true. Living in Alaska has always been that one place I knew I had to be. The daily life is rougher and sometimes scary but so worth it. I know of Paxson but have never been there. I did watch the video you posted when you went to pick up your daughters trailer. Great scenery on that drive! I did preorder half a cow and pig for next winter and I've heard nothing but great things about Mat-Valley Meats. I do love to shop at Three Bears too. And I very rarely go into Anchorage itself unless I am dashing around trying to find something specific. Its always Wasilla or Palmer :-) Just easier to say Anchorage.
I’m trying to find land there now. I’m looking for my next adventure.
Beautiful
GREAT VIDEOS!
Holy, this is like a movie. Didn't even realize I was on pt. 5 already. lol
HA! I really wanted my videos to tell a story from beginning to now. Thank you for letting me know it worked! Love it! :-)
Your beautiful strong brave woman. Just came across you. Would love to do what your doing but I can't stand the cold lol.
Hello David! You could live this life in Arizona! Alone Off Grid/Ron does this in California! I cant stand heat though! Well I do like it when I am cold but I love the snow! Hope you will stick around and live vicariously in Alaska through my channel! Thank you David! :-)
Love the area up there for sure I would hunt and fish would have plenty of meat in the freezer. I don't know if that is somthing your planning on doing in the future would save $ for sure thank you for your reply. Could share some thoughts.
Yes and why drama people in the concrete jungle there people dont think like me i like a ladies heart but im not afraid to stand alone . Love the wild it puts me closer to God when i feel the wild see the wild i know there is a higher power than me . When you feel this in your heart you know .
Congratulations you have done what many only wish for.I look forward to seeing your journey
Thank you! I appreciate you joining my journey!
Thanks for sharing your story and journey, as I wish you and Kenai all the best and good health. Congratulations on your success! I have lived a number of my years in the bush; however, currently I find myself living in a Matsu Borough town. You can understand I am trying to find an affordable "remote" piece of land on the road system....with or without an existing rustic cabin. There are just too many people here where I live and all the incompatible attitudes you can imagine. The AK state land sales and auctions are no longer affordable for common folks. Any tips, leads, guidance, or strategies that you could share would be much appreciated. Thanks and the video was well done and quite enjoyable.
You are lucky to be here in Alaska and looking. At least you can drive around and walk the properties when one comes up!😁 I know Free Spirit Jim has been looking for awhile too! He is out there all the time but I guess a lot of properties are in really bad shape? It's funny because I still browse Zillow looking at properties. I am not looking to buy more land just habit I think! 🤣 You know there are still some of the same properties I considered my second and third choices still listed?? 😲 And I would say that I was looking for YEARS! This property was the ONLY one that made me buy a plane ticket. I guess what I am saying is, it may take some time but it's worth it. 🤗Your perfect place will just come up one day and it will all just be life changing after that! I still say Zillow is the best place to look since it lists every single listing though. I know you will find that perfect property soon! 🧡💚
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska 👍 Thank you much for your kind words of encouragement and for the Zillow tip! I've been mainly checking the remote property lists, but now I can expand my search. I am also encouraged by your success and determination. All the best to you and Kenai.....be well.
Oh one last thing about Zillow! On the left side where you see all the listings, if you click on the (top) part that says "Other listings" those tend to be the for sale by owner! When I contacted anyone there, they responded super fast! Contacting a realtor is a good idea sometimes too. Two that I spoke to in the beginning of my search basically saved me from making big mistakes. Property full of muskeg or property with a road access but only accessible by snowmachine in winter! Good luck! And I still search Zillow when I have a moment! I will let you know if something nice pops up! 🧡💚
Keni is such a sweet boi!
Kenai is my buddy. My shadow! Episode 13 tells why Kenai is so important to me! Don't worry Lisa! He is a spoiled rotten pups now!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska I have 2 if them! I know a lil bit about doggie love! I'm so glad you found him!
Wish I had the balls to do this. I’ve always wanted to go to Alaska.
Thank you for sharing your story. Just found your channel and am catching up. Please keep sharing!
So glad you found my channel! I post a new VLOG video every Thursday! Thank you so much! :-)
I am SO glad I found your channel, I really enjoy your videos, and I love your doggo!
Well that is very awesome to hear! If you get a chance don't miss Episode 13! That's the video that shows how I found Kenai! And why he is so important to me! Thank you again! :-)
Lol I loved when you said don't mess with me! I admire you so much! I had my son, who is an adult, listen to your story and other episodes. He is blind, but very independent has two post grads and a masters all with a 4.0. In a way you are like him. I mean learning to live a completely different life with real challenges not just traffic problems lol, and learning how to ebb and flow in this new life. My brain would shut down with first roof sloffing or my car not starting. Lol😳 Never mind being face to face with wolves, coyotes and bears Oh My!!!😂😳
Cindy, that is a great way to explain it! Some people just don’t let anything get in the way of their goals. And you sound much stronger than you give yourself credit for :-) Wolves, Coyotes and Bears are things to be worried about for sure but your son is braver than anyone! I hope my videos bring you both some enjoyment and just know that your comment was very special to me. :-)
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska ❤
Hello! I started at episode #1 and I am fascinated to see how it goes. I share your thought about living alone in a remote location. I used to solo backpack in the wilderness of California sometimes for a couple weeks at a time. I always hated to leave. It always felt like I was leaving my home. I just wanted to say hi for now and will now binge watch until I catch up. Springtime will be here before you know it.
Welcome aboard Steve! Thank you for joining my journey! Yes I was the same way when I would go solo camping. First just a weekend, then extended weekends then a week and then weeks! I couldn’t get enough and it was always difficult to return. I think I solved that problem now :-) Feel free to comment all you like!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska Thank you for the warm welcome!
Hey !
You stole my dream. Lol.
Thank you for sharing.
I can most definitely relate to how you feel and how you got where you are today.
Congratulations 👏👏👏
LOL but Alaska is a huge state William! There is a cabin somewhere in Alaska with your name on it! :-) Thank you though! I really do love this life! Thank you for watching and commenting! :-) I really do appreciate it!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaskathanks!
And you are very welcome.
I love your pup. He's a scotsman for sure. Lol .
And yes I could find a cabin there for sure. That peaceful life away from all this madness in the lower 48.
Looks like you made it out to the last frontier right in time.
Alaska is the one beautiful land I've always wanted to live .since my childhood.
I'm happy for you. I'll tune in and watch your adventures unfold.
You and puppers take care.
