A Dangerous Mistake ~ Cabin Life in Alaska ~ Nordland 49

- Oli heads to the cabin and takes time to talk about the dangerous mistake he made that got him a helicopter ride to safety on a routine visit to the cabin in Chase, Alaska. This is a bit of a different video but we thought it would be fun to listen to and hopefully keeps someone else from making the same mistake. Thank you for watching and take care!

Hi Oli, what a story, that is a real Alaskan story, you did everything right to save yourself. At least you had M&Ms and milk. When I am out, I always keep my back pack on with all the necessities no matter what. I for one, would like to hear the rest of the story on going back and getting your snowmachine and sled. I'm glad you knew what to do.
Thank you John !! Yeah since that weekend I have a completely different pack set up and sure don’t leave my snowshoes behind lol !!
Thank you for watching the video
Have a safe week 👍

Oli and Tacia
Amazing story, but I need to know how you were able to retrieve your snowmobile and sled. The problem with going to a remote cabin in late winter is the accumulation of unpacked snow makes it near impossible to travel. You pretty much have to make an effort to make the trip before too much snow has a chance to build up.
Wow! Scary stuff! So thankful you are okay.
Hi there and thank you for watching the video !!
Hope you have a great and safe weekend
Oli and Tacia
Oil, thank you for sharing your story. The experience you shared is the very reason why I didn’t choose a cabin off the road system or one with a water crossing. Too many times when overlanding I had become disoriented and essentially lost on a random trail where it took me a day’s worth of driving to find my way out all while rock climbing in my Jeep. Luckily I had my Jeep for shelter. I can’t imagine being in the elements in the middle of winter like you were. This is a tough situation to be in but important lessons learned and valuable to share. Thank you for sharing with everyone. Glad you made it out safely!
Thank you very much for your comment and watching the video !!! wether to have a cabin on the road system or not is definitely an important decision , it never has been an issue until then , I learned my lesson ,
I sure hope the video will help some people to decide which route they want to go before purchasing land for a cabin .
Hope you have a wonderful week , be safe
Oli and Tacia
hi you two, omg what a story! You are a good narrator too. I was anxious, I couldn't wait to find out the ending. I would like you to tell us in another video, were you very far from the cabin? How did you get your sled back? Was he far away in the middle of the lake? I'm very happy that you escaped without injury. I knew you would stay calm because you are an airplane pilot...I'm glad you shared that with us. Be careful both of you! Quebec Canada
Hi there and thank you for watching the video !!,
Glad you enjoyed it , yeah what an adventure that was , lucky one !!!
I will definitely let you know the details how we got the snowmobile out etc...
Hope you have a great and safe week,
Oli and Tacia
I tell you Son ! It wasn’t only an adventure for you !!!! I had a scary night to ! I couldn’t go to bed , I was sooo scared to know you are on really dangers situation , and prayed to gods , please let my Son come back home , please please !
He heart me you came home good and on life !thank you god !🙏🙏🙏
😉
So glad you got through this and are safe. What an experience.
Thank you for watching the video, yeah it was quiet the adventure 😃
Have a fun and safe week
Oli and Tacia
Incredible story, I'm so glad you kept your head on your shoulders and didn't panic. It's a great lesson for people to prepare and have options. So glad you are ok.👍👍🙏
Yes! Thank you! The fire definitely helped a lot to stay calm and not panic !!
thank you for watching !!! have a great week
Oli and Tacia

Scary story. Glad you're ok .
Thank you , and thank you for tuning in.

Oli and Tacia
Not a fun thing to have happen. I rarely venture out in the dark on my snow machine. We enjoy your videos. We are about 13 miles north of Talkeetna up the tracks. I am slowly working on getting a trail into town from up here. Currently no trails for winter or summer to town from our location. Stay safe out in the bush my friend.
Thank you very much guys !!! Yeah traveling in the dark makes everything even more challenging , Hope you have a wonderful and safe weekend and that your trail is coming along soon. would be nice to get together sometime ,
Oli and Tacia
Oli, Alaska is so beautiful and so deadly. I've been in your situation a time or two. Panic is not something we can control, but it is something you recognize the more it happens. Sad, but true. I've been lost, so far out with out cell service, pilot not coming for another week. I wasn't alone. Cutting alders all night to keep the fire going, was crazy, and yes alders will burn or smolder... Your experience with water in winter, you are lucky to be here telling the story!
Thank you for watching and sharing your experience !!! Glad you survived and you're able to share your story to help others as well !
Its always important to be prepared , even though your not planing on an extreme adventure .
Thank you again and hope you have a wonderful weekend ,
Oli and Tacia
Thank you for sharing Ollie, I like ur story.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching Inez !!👍❤️
Oli if you’d like some 300 meter red rocket parachute flares let me know. I always carry a couple of them. They will light up the sky for about a minute. I’ve got lots of them. Free to you if you want a dozen of them.
That would be awesome !!! never know , they might come in handy sometime !! Thank you much for watching the video . Stay save out at your place , maybe we can get together sometime soon ?!
Have a great week,
Oli and Tacia
I’ll keep a dozen para flares for you. I’ll work out a way to get them to you.
What a great video. Thanks for sharing your experience
Thank you guys for tuning in again and watching another video of ours !❤️ , glad you enjoyed it

Oli and Tacia
Thanks for sharing this! Very good info. Much Appreciated!
Thank you for watching the video and am glad it was a bit informative and helpful ,
Have a great and safe week ,
Oli and Tacia
So important you shared this! I was raised hiking and camping. My grandpa was trained in mountain rescue so I think I had a bit more smarts than the average person. So one day living in central Florida I decided to take my young boys and our 6 month old puppy on a hike. I let everyone know where I was and when I planned to be home. I packed lots of water and food(lunch and snacks) I had a map of the trail which was about a 7mile loop. Off we went. I looked for bridges and things like that and compared to the map! We were making great time. Until we weren't. I realized after an hour or more after lunch that the map was wrong. Way wrong. I had been using water based on where I thought we were. Now my kids were tried, the dog was tired and instead of being over half way we were no where near that. My water running low, I started to panick. I immediately turned us around and headed back. My biggest fear was that we would not have enough water and I couldn't carry any of them. That panic and fear is real. We made it out, all was good but I talked to my grandpa later about it and he said never to trust a map! Lol So no matter how much you know, things can happen. It's humbling. So sharing your story maybe will help someone else. My grandpa told us that the #1 people they have to rescue are usually college age boys. Lol Glad you were rescued! Love those rescue guys!❤
First of all , thank you very much for watching the video !!!
and thank you for sharing YOUR story with us as well !,
And you are absolutely right , no matter who you know and what you know there is always something what can go wrong , very happy for you guys that all went well and you made the right decision by turning around before things could have turned even worse !
Good job 👌 !!!
Anyway , hope you have a safe and fun week !!!

Real life adventure story that others can learn from ❤. Just goes to show no matter how good you are out in the woods. You can get into trouble real easy. And you are good in the outdoors. I thank you for sharing this story with us. I would like to hear more about this story one day. I am glad you made it out safely and ok. Be safe and be careful my friend.
Thank you Jimmy and thank you for watching another video of ours !!! yeah Alaska should never be underestimated , its beautiful but sure can show you who is in charge !,
Hope you have a wonderful week !!
Oli and Tacia
Wow Oli quite a story indeed! It's amazing how we can enjoy the beauty of nature, and suddenly find ourselves a situation. You did the right thing building a fire and trying to figure out what to do next. Sometimes our anxiety can overwhelm us and create more problems. A good compass and getting your bearings is essential. The snow and night were definitely against you. But I'm glad you made it out okay and you lived to tell a great story and a good warning to all, that nature can be beautiful, but it can also kill. Be safe my friend.
Thank you very much !!! , always happy to hear from you !!!
I think having that fire for warmth and light kept me together and my brain didn't go wild , yep , nature is beautiful but can take us out in a heartbeat !!
Hope you have a fun and safe weekend ,
Oli and Tacia
So glad that you were not hurt God was watching over you truly blessed man
Yes he was certainly watching over me and brought me back safely !! Have a wonderful weekend , God Bless

That's when your Guardian Angels were working overtime. You're fortunate you had cell service. Did you have to pay for the helicopter ride? My brother and his snowmobiling buddy got caught in a blizzard and had to stay the night on the mountain. Earlier that day they helped rescue a rider who got caught in an avalanche. They stayed behind to try and unbury his sled and bring it back to the lodge but were unsuccessful because of the storm that blew in. It can happen so fast! He texted back and forth all night using his Garmin Inreach.
Thanks for sharing your story and letting it be a lesson learned for all of us!!
Yes I sure had an angle watch over me , and I still can't believe I had cell service 😳, the helicopter ride didn't cost me anything , still amazed and more then thankful for the rescue team efforts , especially the pilot .
Quite the story you have there with your brother and buddy, sorry to hear they weren't successful that night 😔😔.
It can go fast 😳
Hope you have a great and safe week,
Thank you for watching the video !!!
Oli and Tacia

You told a very exciting story. I was thinking how easy it was to get lost with everything looking white. Did you have to pay for the rescue, or is this not the case.
This is my first video to watch on your channel, so very interesting 😊
Thank you for watching the video and glad you enjoyed it!!
It was definitely an eye opener and I learned my lesson .
Did not have to pay for the rescue . Hope you have a fun and safe week

2nd video I've seen today about sleds buried. Look into Snow Dog and HUSKY SNOW MACHINES. They can go where sleds can't.
We will definitely check them out !! Thank you for the comment and watching our video !!!
Hope you have a great and safe weekend
Oli and Tacia
Stuff like this is why I'm 2 hours early for everything.
Thank you for watching the video !!
Not quite sure what exactly you mean by being early .
Have a great weekend
Oli and Tacia
Wow that is a scary story. Glad everything turned out ok for you!! Curious if you have updated what you carry in your backpack now after that happened.
Hi there and thank you for tuning in again and watching the video !!!
Yes i have changed quite a few things and I am actually planning on showing what I carry in my backpack in an upcoming video !! 😃, its always been on my mind and over time had a lot of questions about what to bring in a pack 😊
Hope you guys have a wonderful week , be safe and will see you on the next one ,
Oli and Tacia
Avoiding Death's grip is not something you ever forget. I've avoided it once in my life, and I know I should've died.
Agree !! Makes you look at life a bit different and you never know what can happen real quick .
Thanks for watching the video
Have a save and fun weekend
Oli and Tacia
Even though we travel on a high traffic trail we always carry an InReach "just in case"
That’s something we should definitely check in to , never know what awaits you out in the wilderness!!
Thank you for watching and hope you have a great weekend
Oli and Tacia
@@NORDLAND49 shared this video with my brother in law he had a very similar experience during a night ride into his cabin (NW susitna area) overflow and deep snow no snowshoes he did manage to make it to his cabin but was very wet from sweat and the overflow.
We were watching his inreach track and knew he had trouble but was making progress and saw he was safe at the cabin He used his inreach to message a friend with particulars of the situation and that friend rode in during daylight to assist with recovering machine. He had been able to walk out to his gear stranded on the lake and bring needed items back in a small sled.
Your video brought it all back to him as though it was yesterday.
Wow how scary that must have been
Yeah it certainly was a bit scary and at the same time an eye opener. Never travel Alaska unprepared
Thank you for sharing your story! So glad you are OK! Did the dog running behind your snowmobile survive? Again,thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching the video , yes Pippen ( our dog ) is absolutely fine and happy☺️☺️,
Hope you have a great week ,
Oli and Tacia
Thank GOD your Safe

So did u have to pay for the rescue services and if so, may I ask how much that cost?
I was very surprised and I guess lucky at the same time and didn’t have to pay for the rescue 😳
Lucky

Oli and Tacia

The time I was rescued there was no dog with me , on the re-enactment , our dog ( Pippen ) was safely in the cabin enjoying our bed 😄😄
