Pioneering My Alaska | Part 2.2 | Epic Bridge
The Continuation of a crazy Fall trip to the land I soon will call my home.
To those who commented ideas in Part 2.1 for supporting the middle of the bridge, I appreciate your input. Please be aware that with the creek being a salmon spawning ground, I can not put any permanent structure or drastically change the flow of water legally. (The reason for the cable idea) If you have any ideas that don't involve putting anything in the water I would love to hear them.
To those that commented in Part 2.1 about the low end of the bridge needing to be further away from the creek bank and higher above the water level. I hear you and I agree. My next trip to the property will include fixing this issue. I appreciate your bringing it to my attention
I am sorry to announce this, but I won't be back to AK until next summer. Please remember this is just the very very beginnings of a complete 180° life change. This winter will be spent down in Arizona where I currently live and work. But that does not mean I have quit on my dream and that doesn't mean I will stop documenting my journey. When the snow melts next spring, I will be back in Alaska working away yet again. Soon enough this channel will be putting out weekly episodes and I will be living there full time. But for now, patience will be a virtue.

Part 2.1 I feel so lucky to be back for a second time this year. I need to be able to access my land with gas powered machines. ARGO and Snowmachine in particular. In order to be able to do this. I must create a trail from my land to the existing trail that leads to the river. This way I can travel by boat and then haul my material by Argo. Or in the winter I can have a trail to haul material b...

My name, Ty At 29 years old I have realized my purpose in this world. My desire for Adventure, Independence, and Freedom. To rely on my own skills and determination, to grow, provide and hunt for the sustenance I need to survive. I have spent my life in the Phoenix Metropolitan area where summer temperatures can reach 115°F. With a background in the trades and a good work ethic, I'm trading in ...
Winters Last Grasp | Eastern Arizona | White Mountains

In this latest episode, I invite my good friend on an adventure exploring the remote and beautiful land of Eastern Arizona. Winter attempting to hang on as spring is taking over. We woke up in our tents covered in 6" of snow. Thanks for watching, hope you enjoy.
YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB
You can build steps out of logs to go down to the creek
Make a leanto for a wood shed
You have a new name MOOSE RIVER
Build yourself a small tablel out of a few small logs
As you cut logs pile up for fire wood
f you can get a snow machine in put a large trailer on and bring in a lot of supplies
Cut the logs and lay them and nail them next time
If you cut the logs in half it would way a lot less
use a piece of wood to hold the log when you chop
Bravo dude! Well done! Can't wait for your next video! Your fan from Mississippi!
You should trim the branches off the tees you are building the bridge with and put some logs under so it rolls easier
You also need some tie downs
You should get a roll of HEAVY plastic to cover the front of your hut to keep the heat in and if you can not find Moss to cover you roof get some large tarps
I think a SOLID blade trimer would clear the land would be better also you ca make a storage shed out of the thin trees you are clearing the land
You going to need a small stove in your hut and if you can get a small 4 wheeler up would be great
I think you should where a good glove when you are pulling stuff
After you {nail } the bridge together, get threaded bolts , auger and really get it tight.. A driving bridge ?? I wouldn't ride a scooter on it- it's gonna be a bounce house...
I appreciate your hard work-- I think you should get a rod and reel for the creek, use bolts for your bridge-- nails just won't hold it together . How are you keeping your food from going bad???
You should've had the logs switched big end opposite
Incredible-I feel so inadequate. Love the videos.
I am very sorry to say the way you have destroy the forest 😡
Have you thought about using piers for your bridge? A couple of 45 gallon drums, for example, would work. Enjoy watching your videos!
Should just over-build it, like a trestle
Do you think that cutting the logs going across in half with a chainsaw mill would lighten the load by half and still be strong enough to run machines across
If you want to catch fish get a spinning rod. Throw that fly fish rod away. Get yourself smoke spinning lures different baits.
Now that's style.
Where'd you go 😢
@@SEA-U2 sorry man, I'll be back in Alaska next summer.
Looking forward to next summer when you return!
New subscriber. Got hooked by the quality of your documentary's first few minutes! Looking forward to catching up and enjoying the ride through your future videos. Music only added to the quality even more! Also, appreciate the Lord Byron quote in your description. Well suited for your adventure!
About 4 tin horns done deal lol
Why not use zip cable You could send atv snowmobile pretty much anything. You may be forced to
Rub some dirt on it and get back in the game
Hope this bridge doesn't knock the air from our young warrior. There will be no access in the winter. Need a trail and snowmobile
Some very smart postings
What are your neighbors going to think when you block access to their property with a bridge. STICK OF DYNAMITE
During the melt off wave buy to a bridge im wondering if his shed could be in jeopardy
You call this injury? "TIS BUT A SCRATCH" :) Keep fighting man, i am looking forward to see your homestead grow.
Loving your channel! You rock, good drone video.
What are the objectives? A secluded life, a Stone Age lifestyle, food production, a hunting lifestyle. There are no schematic diagrams of modern roads, so no ideas. Why do you want to build a bridge (you don't seem to have any knowledge of construction). Is it just because you don't want your clothes and body to get wet? You can cross by boat even if there is no bridge. Building a bridge requires a lot of effort and materials. Will you travel by foot? To what extent will you need modern machinery?
Loving this channel for a man who tries to find escapes from life this is just that! all the best to you mate !
See you next summer? Come on man that’s way 2 long you need to bed there year round your content is epic!!!
@@donk9189 soon I will be here year round making weekly episodes
beim nächsten Hochwasser schwimmt deine Brücke weg
Keep strong my friend can't wait for your next video Cheers from North west Queensland Australia
Why not make piles of all the dead wood and use it for firewood?? Just wondering ?????
Wow, That’s a lot of work. But congrats., great job. Pretty impressive.
you have a big fan in gaastra, michigan i wish i was your age i am 75 and raised on a farm dad had a camp and i spent many happy days there you bring back many fond memories
Same here in oz camping in bushland
All the best of health and happiness to you Dennis! I wish us lads in the UK got these opportunities :)
cable from above with turnbuckles as already been mentioned using the trees is the way to go!!! Also....add a couple of upridges under the bridge on both sides of the creek to help share the load.
I hope you don't plan on spending the winner in that a frame. Winters are long and cold, -20°.. You need to think of a permanent shelter a cabin. You will freeze in that a frame... Winter is only a few months off.. You need a lot of firewood, we put up 11 chord.
Good luck on your homestead
A little advice: You need to sharpen your chain every day and don't put it in the dirt. When you try to cut with a dull chain it takes twice as much fuel. You want to save all your wood for firewood or for building purposes. Don't throw it off. All the smaller tops that are smaller than your wrist. You can burn off ,toss off. The rest saved for firewood
