This isn't a reality show about Alaska, it's a show about reality in Alaska! It's not a "how to" kind of channel, and might even be more of a "don't do" kind of channel! It's a slice of a different kind of life as we muddle through creating a home in the wilderness I grew up in. With the lingering pandemic and raging drought crisis gripping the west, we made the big decision to leave Oregon and drive our Skoolie to Alaska to begin working on our own cabin on the remote, off-grid land my family owns on a beautiful lake where we lived when I was a kid. Both of us are life-long musicians, not builders, so the learning curve is steep and at times hilarious! Our adventure begins with hitting the long road in our little school bus along with our cat Pooki, and we invite you to join the three of us for the journey and whatever comes next! Welcome to our adventure!
Best of my Trail Cam Clips in Wild Alaska!
Featuring the moose with the STUNNING waddle and finally a glimpse of the legendary grizzly Brutis! Watch the seasons change and see who we share the trails with in our neck of the woods! And as always, the great theme music created by Jack makes it all so much better!

My solo summer in the bush comes to an end and I reluctantly dismantle my cabin nest and drink in the sights, sounds and daily rituals one last time. We have a last minute ATV crisis, but Monster steps up and saves the day and I get a bonus history lesson about the area from Jon as we ride the trail together.

Cherishing every last hour of my quiet summer alone at the lake on the most beautiful day imaginable. I observe two tiny ducklings going it alone after being orphaned by hungry otters as the magical tranquility and beauty of late summer in the Alaskan wilderness goes on all around them. The constant contrast of nature's cruelty and compassion on full display and I am in awe just to be there and...

It's August and my summer alone in the bush is coming to a close. The mushrooms are booming and the air is sweet, clean and cool. Signs of otter carnage litter the trail, and Jon and I fear for the duck families on the lake. We love our wild neighbors!

My friend Nina has gone home, and I'm back to muddling through by myself. Hitting the trail alone and getting on with the caulking job at the cabin the best I can. It's a bit lonely and difficult at times but satisfying all the same. And oh! What glorious trail cam clips I have to share!

So much to experience in the normal course of a late summer day! I get the water filter happening, search for mushrooms, and finally get some amazing bear clips on the trail cam closest to the cabins! I walk old trails alone and visit my favorite spot on the lake and then get to enjoy the company of twin moose that come to the water for a swim and a snack.

It's always something and even simple things get complicated when learning curve strikes! I start the process of chinking the cabin while dealing with random stupid little obstacles; one of which is furry, obnoxious and well...pretty darn cute despite the hardship he brings to my otherwise peaceful existence!

How we cope, what we drive, where we shop and what we buy. Big expenses and thrift store scores on a marathon shopping trip to Wasilla.
