  • Dick Proenneke built an off-grid cabin in Alaska the same year and the same size as this rugged and remote cabin, only this cabin was abandoned 6 months after it was built. Today ‪@TruckHouseLife‬ and I go on an epic adventure to visit this incredible homestead and explore the massive glaciers and mountains that surround it. This is a story of survival, adventure, and friendship in The Last Frontier.

      Their demographics must be a few “old-ish” people ….70 years old myself. Loved the guys and their approach. Also loved the log book.

    I'd take any of these backcountry problems over any city life problems. That's just how some of us are wired. We are a fam of 4 and considering a move from northern NY to Ak this summer.

    I love how in alaska we have these amazing cabins all over for use by anyone and everyone leaves it in a better condition than they found it in.

      People respect the history and amazing luxury of having a shelter in these far away places. The hard work and dedication of getting there and surviving drives the idea of respect and good will to others. Matt and Tim are the epitome of hard work, dedication and respect of these remote areas. Leaving new firewood for the next visitor and keeping the cabin in the same or better shape that it was when the door first opened. I love that attitude!

      I think its because he narrates it a bit better as far as telling a story. But I did enjoy Tim's quite a bit aswell.

    45 year old grandma here lol 😂 from Manchester UK and found Timmy first and now these videos! If I ever win the lottery I want a long road trip around the states and Canada and then some heat in Mexico (I’m short and pale so probably burn very easily lol)! We never get any deep snow like this. A couple of inches and the trains and buses cannot run and schools shut. Need some Alaskan spirit!

    Imagine doing that trek back in the days of no ski-mobiles, protective warm clothing, power tools/chainsaws, easy prepare foods, etc etc imagine using dogs and horses and needing to haul food for them as well. Now we get almost live coverage of it all !!!! Thankyou for sharing an awesome adventure 🇦🇺🤗💞🙏👍👌✌️👏👊🇺🇸

    I just got through watching Timmy’s video on the same three day cabinet adventure now I’m watching yours. I really enjoyed both of y’all’s videos. I really enjoy your narrating the video ….. PS it may be time to check into a electric chainsaw. I see a lot of people having good luck with them.

    Dick Proenneke is one of my Heroes! Who built his 12x16 ft. cabin by hand himself. He was a man with great wisdom and knowledge about living in the Alaska Wilderness! Thank you for reading the history about the place! It is always fascinating to hear what it was like back then. Great video and the music was Awesome, especially the sound of the Mandolin !

    I am in awe how much your creativity and somber perspective in the “trees down, we’re never making it” situation out to Nugget Creek. Your music, your narration and your sense of “oh shit” totally coincides with my thoughts and behaviors. For the first 20 years of my life, I made a conscious effort to be like your friend, Timmy. But as I hit an older, more wiser stage of my life and had younger folks looking up to me, I got less adventurous because I was afraid of getting out of the woods. But something tell me, it’s trip like that build something Greater! Cheers my man! Congrats on making whatever it is you make and sharing it with the rest of us. Inspiring and brave!

I wish that you were able to go into McCarthy , I miss the place and haven't seen it in years.

  • @TheMadManPlace
    @TheMadManPlace Před 4 měsíci +1

    2 is one
    1 is none
    VERY wise words said to me by an old timer back when I was 16 and knew it all - and PROPERLY got my butt into a whole heap of trouble.
    Over the last 50 years since then I have passed those words of wisdom along every chance I got.
    By the way, old milk jugs are not thick or strong enough to handle the strain of carrying water when the going and bumping gets tough.
    They often split and then you have a problem - sometimes a BIG problem if you are in a water scarce area like we are.
    5 liter (1 gallon) *NEW* oil cans work a lot better if you can get them.
    Even better are thick wall 1 liter SQUARE screw top water bottles - once again, IF you can get them.
    If 1 pops you only loose 1 liter - if a 3 gallon milk jug pops you loose all 3 gallons and a big plus is that the smaller water bottles can fit into all the nooks and crannies which makes easier packing. Half liter bottles work even better in that regard.
    Good adventure in this video guys...

But I’m constantly torn between thinking: Wow, that looks like fun and Wow, what makes anybody in the world think it’s fun freezing your butt off in all that snow?! At 71, I’m fascinated to watch you do it, Matt, and delighted I don’t have to do it myself.
