This Is My Alaska
United States
Приєднався 3 вер 2020
A Remote Homestead, Off-Grid Living, Log Cabin Building, Survival Skills, Summer Camping, Winter Camping, Hunting, Fishing, Mountains, Rivers, and Glaciers, This is my Alaska!
I grew up at a remote Alaskan lodge. We had no indoor plumbing or electricity. We heated only with wood. My father trapped and my mother homeschooled us children. That was over half a century ago. I am a grandfather now, but I am still in love with Alaska, and I want to give you a glimpse into my family's simple lifestyle here in the Last Frontier. We still spend much of our time at our remote cabin. It is still off grid.
I will be releasing new videos regularly. Please SUBSCRIBE and join my wonderful community of followers. Thank you for watching, I am glad you are here!

MUST SEE! Transforming Sled-Cabin
Welcome to our transforming sled/cabin project! Spending a winter weekend in the woods of Alaska doesn't have to be frigid. We took our cabin with us!
This pop-up camper sled is a prototype. We are working on a concept and improving it each week. This video documents our first overnight, trial. There will be more videos to come as we test different designs and materials.
We wish you all the magic in the forest!

Captivating Treehouse Build -TIMELAPSE- (Start to Finish)
Переглядів 1,7 млн8 місяців тому
My grandson and I built this enchanted cabin, deep in the middle of Alaska. It was an amazing experience, one we will both treasure for the rest of our lives. Almost all of the materials are scrounged and salvaged, most are reclaimed from torn down buildings, or cut from old pallets. The door of the cabin was claimed from a century-old outhouse (imagine the stories it could tell). The moose ant...
BUSHCRAFT ALASKA - Winter Camp In The Taiga Forest
Переглядів 74 тис.Рік тому
I welcome you to come with me into the Boreal country of Alaska. This is the habitat of the fox and ptarmigan. It is deep in the Alaska Range, about 100 miles east of Denali. I hiked from above timberline, down to the forest below, where I could escape the wind and find a good supply of firewood. Snow fell with the night and I awoke to a fresh layer of powder. There will not be many more weeken...

Welcome to Alaska! You will enjoy this timelapse video of my Alaskan cabin project. It is a compilation taken from 35 separate videos (of the entire build) published on my channel over the past year. You can find all 35 videos on my channel under the "My Alaskan Log Cabin Project" playlist. I am an Alaskan. I have lived in Alaska for over 50 years (mostly in log cabins). At 10 years old I worke...
Into Alaska’s Moose Country
Переглядів 57 тис.Рік тому
Hunting for moose is part of our lives here in Alaska. As a child my family would gather each fall and spend a week processing moose and caribou meat for the winter. Not much has changed in the past 55 years. This year I had the privilege of taking my granddaughter on her first hunt. She kept her dad and I in chuckles the whole time. Our tent is the Arctic Oven Igloo with a wood-burning stove m...
Smoking Alaska Red Salmon (and working with roe)
Переглядів 52 тис.Рік тому
This past week Tanya and I smoked several batches of our red salmon. We think it is getting better each year. The meat is firm and flakey. Not too dry either. The natural oils of the fish are all still present making the smoked fillets almost irresistible. They are great in so many dishes. We also tried working with some King Salmon roe. It was our first such attempt and the results are a bit m...
Remote ALASKA LIVING (Making Caribou Jerky)
Переглядів 60 тис.Рік тому
This week a friend gave me a quarter of caribou. I am not particularly fond of caribou and typically turn it into sausage. But the lean meat also makes a fine jerky. Since this was a small quarter I decided to make up a batch of jerky. This batch took about 15 hours from start to finish. Below is the recipe I am using here - Enjoy 6 lbs of venison sliced against the grain, 1/4" thick 1/2 cup so...
ALASKA - SALMON SUPPLY - Netting BIG Copper River Reds!
Переглядів 66 тис.Рік тому
Dip Netting is an old Alaskan tradition. This popular method of fishing is open only to Alaska residents. My family has been fishing in the Copper River basin for over 55 years. We depend on the wild salmon (Reds, Kings, Silvers, and more) that spawn here, to fill our freezer for each winter. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. It is almost entirely unchanged from when I was a boy. That is ...

PREPARING for BAD WEATHER - (Alaska Off-Grid Cabin)
Переглядів 65 тис.Рік тому
This week Drox and I worked on the cabin, fished and sat in the sauna. It was wonderful. Spending the weekend in the mountains with my grandson is just the greatest thing. It is what life is all about. I love the joy and wonder of childhood, and in a sense, I am reminded of my own youth when we are out here together. Time flies and I know these moments won't last long. I am so grateful for thes...
HOW will all THIS GET DONE? (Alaskan, Off-Grid Wedding)
Переглядів 61 тис.Рік тому
This week we moved the old garden shed from a few hundred feet away and set it down next to the shop we are working on. Tanya plans to breath new life into the structure, converting it into a small kitchen for the reception. We also spent many hours working on the shop itself, installing insulation, vapor barrier and plywood sheeting on the interior walls. Things are starting to come together! ...
The PERFECT GIFT at NO COST (off-grid, Alaska)
Переглядів 49 тис.Рік тому
Known as a Viking Chair, a Stargazer Chair, an African Chair, a Bog Chair, or simply an X Chair, this ancient design is as beautiful as it is functional. The wood timbers used for this chair were salvaged from down by the shore of the lake. There was significant rot in parts of the boards and I had to search for pieces good enough to use for my project. But a chair like this must come from the ...

My son's remote, off grid wedding is only a few weeks away now. We have so much to do to prepare! He asked me to help him build a rustic, salvaged-wood bar for the celebration at the reception. This is a new experience for me but I am always excited to learn something new. This will be a two-part video because it proved to be more than a day's work. As always, thank you for being part of our fa...

Welcome back to the cabin! The trail is finally open and I was able to make the first trip of the year by four wheeler. Spring has come late. As you can see, most of the bushes are still without leaves, and the lake below is locked in ice. Even so, it is good to be back. Everything is as I left it the last time I was here. Even the squirrel has stayed outside. There is a lot to be done here thi...
