    Just an idea: In Germany some restaurants have a semicircular heavy curtain just inside of the door to keep the cold from entering during the cold winter days. This curtain is hung from the ceiling on a strongly fastoned rack, and works great to keep that chill out. Might work well in your cabin there.

      Good morning my friend. Such an interesting comment. I grew up here back in the 60's on a remote, completely off-grid homestead. 50 years later, life here at this cabin is still relatively unchanged from those days. We have better equipment and technology to be sure, but the nights are still dark and cold and silent. I wouldn't trade it for any other place on the planet. Peace to you from Alaska

    Reminds me of the life I had up in the Carpathians mountains in an old log cabin where i didn't had not even a fireplace or stove. Had to prepare my food outside using an old barrel in which i used to make fire. Inside the cabin was cold as heck. Showers were with cold water or snow. But guess what? Didn't even had a simple cold, or a tooth ache or anything. I moved back to the city after my training session, found hot water and gas at my reach and i started to have cold, flues, tooth aches, knees problems. I know that living up in the mountains is tough (even a nightmare for some people), but its all so dang beautiful. I miss that time, so next year i'm gonna move to an old friend's farm up in mountains. And i'm gonna take snow showers again :)

      Good evening Radu. Well this is wonderful. I almost want to go with you, and could not agree more with your sentiments. I have a dear old native friend here that lives with his wife in a shanty on the bank of the Yukon River, hundreds of miles from the nearest town. He is also very wealthy. Last year I asked him why they didn't move to some tropical beach and this was what he said, "We have traveled all over the world and could live anywhere we wanted to, but there is simply no better place than here on shores of the Yukon River." I love their view of life. The things they valued were not associated with money at all. Peace to you from Alaska.

      I saw a comment about shoveling snow. When I lived in Alaska I found it very therapeutic to shovel the driveway. I had a snow blower but often I shoveled it. It was magic. The cabin you see here is luxury and looks very new with all the mod cons. Would be ideal. Even a more modest place is still heaven. What you are not seeing is the wildlife that passes by. Moose, birds squirrels occasional bear. It is heaven on earth.

    I wish I can visit Alaska or any other state. I’ve been living in New York City my whole life. I’m kind of sick of living in a crowded environment. The only other states I’ve ever visited are Connecticut and Michigan. My dream state to move to is Hawaii. I prefer tropical and humid environments. But I’d love to visit Alaska one day and see the northern lights with my own eyes. There’s so much I want to see in this world before I go

      Good afternoon Debbie. I love those stories. I grew up on the outskirts of Nenana. We hauled our water from the creek, a mile or so away, we heated only with wood, and our only "plumbing" was an outhouse. My dad dug a 10-foot-deep hole down into the permafrost and covered it with an insulated cover. He put a ladder down into it and built shelves down there. That was our freezer during the summer months. I remember when we got our first generator. It was a 4-kW Witte. My mom was so happy. Of course we didn't call it "living off-grid" back then, it was just "living". Over a half century later I am still trying to get back to that simple way of life and I believe I will make it. Thanks for the memories. Peace.

    Your love and dedication for, both, Alaska and cinematography ought to be commended. There are only a few men of your caliber. Living in the extreme cold conditions of Alaska in winter is not easy, as it requires one to expend much energy just in keeping himself warm. Kudos to you.

      @@MakeB711 Hello my friend. I would be happy to discuss your questions and try to provide some answers. There are resources I would direct you to in regards to finding and purchasing remote property. This particular property does not have property tax but many other pieces will. There are few rules for construction of a single-family homes built outside of the cities. Building a cabin takes a time commitment and a some money too. There are lots of things that have to be purchased. That said, I think it is a middle-class kind of thing, a dream in reach of many people if they want it bad enough. If you want more information feel free to drop me an email. thisismyalaskalife@gmail.com. I will do my best to answer your questions. Peace.
