Our simple life in Alaska
We moved from a three bedroom, fully functional home, to a 375 square foot dry cabin, without an indoor toilet or shower.
We got married in 2016, and decided to get rid of 2/3 of what we owned and live a simpler life with less things.
Life with less felt so freeing that we continued the process of decluttering our home, our lives and our debt. We discovered that our home had become quite empty and we did not need all that space. We dreamed of building a tiny cabin and living a simple life with minimal things, having more time for relationships and experiences.
We began our build in spring of 2018 and finished in the fall of 2019. We moved in, and are living that simple life we dreamed of.
We are still working on becoming debt free, while living a simple life, and working towards a more minimalist lifestyle where we are focused more on Loving God, Loving Others and Loving Life.

The Road to McCarthy Alaska
Heading to a small town in Alaska, that checks a box on our bucket list.
We are the Retherford's and we live in a 12x16, (with a loft) 375 sq.ft, dry cabin in Alaska. We live a simple and minimal lifestyle. We believe that experiences and relationships are more important than things.
We enjoy the simple, yet hard work involved in living this way.
We are on-grid and do have electricity, but use it minimally. We have no indoor water, bath, or toilet. We have wood stove heat only.
We are only on this earth for a short time and everything here is temporal. We are on a journey to our promised land in heaven, where all things are eternal. With that in mind, we are not working for temporal things but for the eternal. We are living life as God leads and not allowing ourselves to become comfortable or settled but continue to grow and move through this journey.

For all of the times we've been to AK, hiking around Hatcher Pass is definitely on the to do list! Especially watching your video 😀
What amazing views. Thanks for sharing.
What a great video!! My wife has an amazing idea for you a way to make extra money. She said you should grab some snowballs and wrap it in cling wrap then pack them in dry ice for shipping anywhere in the world. She said she will buy the first one if you do. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Angie and David! Wow Angie thank you for sharing this hike with us to Skyscraper Peak! You at 28:12 of the video, was awesome! Must be amazing to sit there, drink your coffee, and write in your journal. Great video. Hope you two have a great week!

Yes, they opened it early this year! 😀
Wow! Angie! This was the best one yet and all your hiking videos are great! Thank you for sharing this mountain hike and the terrific views. I love the way you stopped and showed the many awesome views around you. And coming down out of the mountains...wow! So scary! Thank you again. Your videos are so worth waiting for. ❤😊

Amazing views, beautiful flowers! Thanks for sharing.
That’s a great video! Where in the valley is that area to dipnet?
Thank You. That is Fish Creek, Parks Highway
Where do you go to the bathroom and shower. I built a tiny home and now next step no running water
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
Good video,love ya'll ❤
Happy 🐓
Nice to see you guys it’s been hot as hell down here in Louisiana I’ll be so glad when I move up to Alaska again anyway great to see video 👍👍
