Thank you for watching! I'm happy you enjoyed the flight 😁 It's always one of the most exciting parts of the trip because the scenery is beautiful, and you've still got the whole trip ahead of you.
We flew with Will at Trail Ridge last weekend. I was telling him about this guy on UA-cam and his dad and a remote cabin. We shared a few details and realized he’d flown you out with supplies in the Beaver. Such a cool connection. Love the channel and thanks for showing us what is possible!
Will is great! Such a nice guy and a phenomenal pilot. That is a cool connection 😁 Thank you for sharing, and for watching! Best wishes to you and your family, and happy adventuring!
Right?! Thank you much! It was definitely a pain the previous trip having to unload all the dock building material without a dock 🤣 Thank you for watching and commenting!
I've loved float planes all my life. Seen them in books and movies and TV and such. Finally saw one in person flying over Puget Sound back in June and it turned this 39 year old man back into a 9 year old kid again.
That's awesome! I was always facinated by the float planes around Puget Sound and taking off from Kenmore air. They are fantastic machines! Thank you for watching!
Thank you, Bill! I'm hoping I have enough content for another 7 or 8 videos from this trip. I never know until I review the footage and try piecing something together 😂 Thank you for watching!!!
@@OhashiOutdoors You are very welcome my friend. I am sure you will have some great footage as always. Always look forward to watching .Hope you are keeping well. Cheers!
Bush pilots are awesome! I fully relate with the bear... sometimes you have an itch that you just can't reach. Glad the bear found your cabin for relief :)
Amazing that you get better internet in the wilderness through Starlink than I get 20 miles north of Fresno CA! Thanks for another great video. The flight was awesome too.
I had watched all your videos with your Dad but after watching this one, I went back to see when y’all were there. I was reading comments and was very surprised to read y’all were only there for nine days. I thought sure it was a month after seeing all you accomplished. Good work!🇺🇸
Thank you for watching all the videos! I can't wait for the day I can do UA-cam full time. Currently, one video is usually one day of filming edited down to the most interesting bits. Once I retire in about 8 years, I can spend a few days filming and working on different projects; this will give more variety to the footage and make videos more interesting. I'm currently back in Japan where I live and work full time. I'll be editing videos from this mid-September trip for the next few weeks and hopefully posting a video every Saturday morning until I run out of content to edit. I hope that background gives more clarity for you! Thank you again🙇🏻
Awesome work bro. This vid was instrumental for the future starlink set up and resources needed. Power station seems very critical to have for "off grid" living.
@@ahashdahnagila6884 I wouldn't say I'm a world traveler! My job moves me and my family every 3 years or so, and sometimes it's to a foreign country. My wife is also Japanese, so getting to live and work here for three years has been a ton of fun! Japan is beautiful this time of year. We plan on staying at a glamping cabin near Mt. Fuji this weekend (Possible youtube video on that coming up), and doing winter hot tent camping later this winter. We will make videos of these adventures and upload them to the channel! It's not Alaska, but it's still the outdoors 😁
Fly in cabin tip. Make sure to start taking advantage of your pickup flight for material haul in. You are typically paying for the flight to come in empty. Make sure it is bringing future building supplies other supplies like drinking water.
That's a great tip, thank you! I'll have to see if the charter is willing to do that for me next time. I often get picked up by a pilot on a return trip from dropping off hunters, other cabin people, or lodge visitors. We appreciate you watching and commenting!
My son and I made our one trip to Alaska in September. Had absolutely glorious weather the entire time and spent about 10 days I think. The salmon run was going and it was crazy. They were practically jumping in the boat. This was about 30 years ago I think and my son would have been around 8 years old. My brother was working up there at that time. We went out in the boat and went fishing and my brother assigned one rod to Lucas as his.... Which proved to be a big mistake as Lucas ended up catching a record size salmon for the boat thus far. 35 in long and 17 lb. I believe my brother emptied one of his freezers and I came back with between 50 and 75 lb of salmon fillet to pass out to the family. We also got to ride the old White pass and Yukon railroad. The1800s train goes up to the border and back. I believe they were having a ceremony of the investiture of that marvel of engineering as one of the engineering marvels of the world. It was a stunning ride. How I wish to do it again. You and your dad should definitely put it on your bucket list.
Those are special memories! Alaska is beautiful in September and October with all the outdoor activities and changing of season. I'm sure you and your son were also thrilled when he caught the biggest salmon of the trip - 35" and 17 lbs is a massive fish! I always love watching all the freezer boxes going through the Anchorage airport on my return flight, too. There are few foods better than fresh caught Alaskan Salmon fillets! I'll do some research on the White Pass Yukon Express; that sounds exactly up our ally. Since marrying a Japanese woman, I've become fascinated by trains, both old and new. The Alaskan Railroad truly opened up the state to a degree after it was built. Thank you for watching and sharing about your personal Alaskan experience! Best wishes to you and your family😊
@@OhashiOutdoors. We just did the White Pass Yukon Express train ride out of Skagway in early September. Although it was very overcast, it was still worth the trip.
@@jeffroberts1834 We are happy to hear it's still in operation! That's something I'll have to plan when I can finally get my family up to the cabin in another year or three. My son will love an Alaskan train ride! Thank you!!! 😃
Trail ridge, Rusts, Sportsmans, etc...and many others out of LHD alaska are awesome. Busiest float plane base in the world. Shoutout to all the ANC controllers and local air taxis that make our lifestyle great. Great vids man. Keep them coming.
I've only flown with two of the charters there and had a good experience with both. I like the "small family business" and flexibility offered by Trail Ridge. And thank you for recognizing all the controllers and charters out of LH! Making these videos would be a whole lot harder without them. Thank you for watching!
Well hello there from Ipswich Qld Australia!!! Just met you and your channel so have liked, subscribed, and added you to the 25 plus Alaskan channels Im already subbed from Fairbanks, North Pole and Tok across to Talkeetna, Willow etc to Southern Kenai Peninsula across to Juneau up to Valdez and everywhere in between. What an incredible State of the upper region of AMERICA !!!!! I can see already what an amazing young man you are and no doubt I'll meet your beautiful Japanese wife and young son when I get the opportunity to peruse the videos listed on your channel. To be posted and living in Japan while you serve your country and continue to maintain an off-grid cabin in the outback , inaccessible lands of Alaska ,speaks volumes of your character. Looking forward with great anticipation to your future videos, where ever you choose to pist from. Abundant Blessings to you and yours Sir, from Nana Heather a Kiwi born and raised AUSSIE. 🇦🇺🤗💞🙏👍👌✌️👏✝️🇺🇸
Thank you so much, it's so nice to meet you!!! You sound like quite the expert on Alaska, and Alaskan UA-cam channels all over Alaska 😊 I have two Japanese camping videos that show quite a bit of my family. We will be making more from our winter camping trips over the next few months as well! Thank you again for such a sweet and thoughtful comment, Nana Heather! Welcome to the Ohashi Outdoors Family and Channel😁
As a retired aircraft maintenance supervisor I really wouldn’t know where to start working out the c of g on that aircraft that brought you in. I have nothing but admiration for the pilot. Next time you see her give her a salute from me.🇬🇧😊she should rename her plane THE TARDIS (as in the Dr Who series)
That's a great idea, I'll let her know if I see her on my next trip! That's also high praise coming from a man with as much experience as you. A good Alaskan bush pilot like her is truly admirable. Thank you for watching!
Thank you! Upcoming videos show putting deck boards on the walkway. I know my physical abilities and limits pretty well, but completed the dock walkway was definitely a priority 😂 Thank you for commenting and watching!
Knowing how prepared she is, she definitely has extras. She’s also a precise person, so I couldn’t imagine her doing that 😂 it’s always good to be prepared though! Thank you for watching!
I have a off grid land and cabin too. I call it my home too. No place I’d rather be I have to build a new dock and new storage shack and a new cabin soon.
That's awesome! It sounds very similar to our place in Alaska. We built the new dock, and a new storage shed is on the list, too. Thank you for watching!
Another awesome video! I've often wondered about logistics and planning for a fly in/out location and I have quite a few takeaways from this. That take off out of Anchorage never gets old and we've used Rust's service but might have to give Trail Ridge a try next time. Great information on the Star Link setup and I really appreciate you sharing your adventures - always such great content.
Thank you much! I've flown with Rust's before, too; both charters are great. I prefer Trail Ridge because it's family owned and operated, and a smaller, more personal operation. Thank you for watching! Let me know if you have any questions about logistics out there. I'm not a professional, but have learned a lot and figured some stuff out thus far. Best wishes!
@@OhashiOutdoors I appreciate that and probably will be hitting you up with questions. Good to know about Trail Ridge and I'll definitely call them up next time.
Great little cabin in the woods. When you get time you might want to take the door knob out of your front door and turn it over. It’s in upside down. Pins in the lock should be at the top like your deadbolt. This keeps the dirt and dust out of the pins.
Thank you! That makes complete sense, I'll have to do that next trip! It was such a pain taking the old door knob off making this one fit last trip, I guess we overlooked that finer detail. I haven't installed many door knobs in my time either 😂 I'll make a not in my cabin book and get it done next trip, thank you!
@@OhashiOutdoors you will have to take the lock apart to do this. It’s really pretty simple to do. Get someone to show you how to take the lock apart. I have installed 1000’s of locks. Every once in a while you have to do this. You should be able to do this in 15 minutes right at the cabin. Have fun building the deck. I looked up the information on the sea plane. Man that’s an old bird, built in 1952. I really like that a gal is flying it as well. She looks like a lot of fun to fly with. Show us some big fish from the lake sometime if you get the chance
Between UA-cam and some organic mechanical ingenuity, I think we'll get it figured out! Are you a locksmith? I've played around with lock picking off and on since I was in high school. It's a fun, challenging hobby. The Beavers are old, but still useful and incredible planes! It's an absolute joy to fly in them. This particular pilot is a home grown Alaskan and it's a ton of fun flying with her. She knows all the terrain features, rivers, lakes, and streams by name. There is more fishing videos coming up in the coming weeks! No monsters, but some good sized fish. We hope you enjoy! 😊
@@OhashiOutdoors No I am not a locksmith per say, I have been a commercial superintendent for 30 years. Long time ago I got tired of all the sub contractors and suppliers messing up the locks and the lock schedules so I learned how to wok on and key locks. Mostly quickset and Schlage locks. I ended up being able to repair, rekey and cut keys for both of those brands. Did a ton of apartments and assisted living buildings. The worst thing for your cabin door lock being in Alaska would be having wind blown water getting into the lock and freezing. Having the pins facing up will help with this problem, but you can still have issues if the locks get wet inside. I live in the cold north eastern part of the USA and master locks in the winter time can be a problem with the cold. As for flying around in that old aircraft there is nothing like the sound of a radial engine. They sputter and smoke when they start up, but they have the best sound after they warm up and make power. Nothing else has the same sound. It was fun to see you get the Starlink up and running back in the bush. The speed you got were not too good if you were in the big city, but out in the middle of nowhere and you have a useable internet is just pure magic. There was a time when I had to move around a HUGHS NET satellite dish. It was painful as hell every time you had to move it. Had to get it pointed just right, then pass a dish pointing test with the satellite before they would turn it on. Now you just take an app on your phone look at the sky and it will tell you if your dish will work, and if so it walks you right through the setup. When I was in in Alaska on a long vacation I had a real hard time getting the satellite internet to work because they were floating around in the center of the USA which made them very low in the sky in Alaska. Have fun at the cabin. I will make sure to sub your channel so that I can see how your progress goes. Fix the rest of the dock before you fall into the lake with an arm load of groceries 🤣
Thank you for a bit of background on yourself, it's always fun getting to know some of the good people who watch out videos! And don't worry, finishing the walkway to the dock was the first major job I tackled this trip. Life is busy in the real world here in Japan, but I'm trying my best to release a video every Saturday morning PST for the next 7 weeks or so. Thank you again for watching and subscribing!
Hi buddy love the channel. I am hoping to get a place in Alaska I just have to convince my wifey it’s a good idea. Thanks for sharing. God bless you and your lovely family!
Thank you! Good luck convincing the wife. I lucked out and my wife is extremely supportive of my current and future Alaskan dreams! Thank you for watching! Same to you and your family 🙇🏻
I LOVE the Rolling Rock beer-it is made 20 minutes from my house in Pittsburgh, Pa. Bottoms up!!!!! Don't be surprised if someday you wake up am I am sitting on your porch with a few cases of Rolling Rock!! See ya soon, LOL
That's awesome! My great uncle was a brew master at the PA Rolling Rock brewery many years ago. I'd have to talk to my Pa to get more refined dates. That's part of how RR became the family Cabin Beer!!! See you next trip 🤣
Thank you! This trip has less visual upgrades, but I did a lot of necessary prep work for the next trip. There will be more significant visual upgrades then 😁 we appreciate you watching!
Wasn't it? One of the best I've seen, but I don't really know what I'm talking about when it comes to flying. I'm happy you recognize it though! Thank you for watching!😊
Good to know! If you watch my Starlink video, you'll see a speed test showing over 130 Mbps download, and about 13 upload. It's a great asset to have out there. Thank you for watching and commenting!

That's good information from a man who knows his stuff, tried and true! I'll add a Predator Super Quiet gen to my "future buy" list. It'll be good to have around a future property when when my family and I live in AK full-time. For now, providing my cheap little Wen keeps working, I'm sticking with that because it's already out there 😂 I appreciate you watching, commenting, and sharing some good knowledge. Best wishes to you!
I have also been following Shaun, in Ontario. He is in the process of building his cabin. Have you seen his videos? Love these videos. You and Shaun have great areas to be in. So comfortable. , stress free. This is the way to live for sure. I have just subscribed. ❤
Thank you for choosing to subscribe! I have not seen Shaun in Ontario, but will check him out! My family and I are excited to visit the cabin much more in the future.
Had bears chewing my cabin so put bear boards all around the outside. Didn't stop them completely but slowed them down and made them wary. Put about 400w of solar panels on the cabin roof and have a control panel and a large LFP batter, but you could use a 1500w(+) power station instead. Makes for reliable power and no noise but below freezing temps are not recommended for the LFP battery. Interesting video.👍
Thank you! I'll have to some preventative bear/critter measures in the future. Bear boards and window shutters are part of that plan. I don't plan on doing any permanent solar/batter set-up until I'm able to make it up there more regularly. I currently live/work near Tokyo. I fear the snow-load on the solar panels would deteriorate their lifespan too quickly. Thank you for the great advice, for commenting, and watching!
Awesome video! Was hoping to see what was on the game cameras. At least you can talk to your family now with the Star link. You have come so far with the cabin. Hope to see your little experience it some day that would be awesome. Looking forward to next video.
Thank you so much! There wasn't as much animal footage from the game cams, but I suppose that means they leave the cabin mostly alone. I did catch the bear in the act, and also a moose at night. Pretty cool!!! Thank you for always watching and commenting!
Very beautiful country side. Thank you for another great video. I will miss you but I’m looking forward to any camping videos you put out. Safe trip. From Australia
That sounds like the dream! I hope to live remote or rural in AK full time someday. Good luck with your Starlink! It's an awesome upgrade to have out there. Enjoy your trip and be safe! Thank you for stopping by our my channel.
Just watched your video first time. Enjoyed !! Now your generator is noisy !! I have a brand called Radley 2500 watt inverter generator with variable speed. It's so quiet I cannot hear it when I go inside my shop.
Thank you for checking out the channel! Don’t worry, the generator isn’t in every video. Thank you for the recommendation, too! I’ll have to check out Radley generators. Eventually I’d like to get solar panels and a wind generator. Thanks again for watching!
It's a beautiful area for sure! The flight in is always one of my favorite parts of my cabin trips. It's the very beginning of the trip, there are often moose to see out the little windows, and I've got the whole trip ahead of me! Thanks for watching and commenting 😊 I'm digging your trapping videos since the season opened in Canada!
It's some beautiful country up there for sure! I want to try filming some of the moose and other wildlife we often see on the flight in/out, but that requires a better lens than a GoPro 😂 someday! Thank you for watching!
We have starlink here in Chile at our house now for 2 years and it works great. No mosquitoes in Chile for the most part or lets say very little. I find it interesting you have to have a lock on your door! Way out in the campo here that is not so needed. Ha.... Jim in Chile
Isn't it great?! Chile sounds very nice, especially with minimal mosquitos. I lock my door as an extra safety measure. It would probably be alright if I left it unlocked, but one untrustworthy person could really ruin my day if they didn't respect the place. Thank you for watching, Jim!
Can I just comment on how there's a Cane's Chicken all the flippin way up in Alaska but there are only TWO in the state of Alabama. Enjoyed the video and appreciate you taking us along on your solo journey!
that is an astute observation! I had Cane's for the first time last year and it changed my life. Alabama is a great state, but they need to get their Cane's situation figured out. Thank you for following along on the journey!
Really enjoy your videos. Was at Eielson AFB in the early 70s. You can leave Alaska but Alaska never leaves you. May I ask what you do as a job other than UA-cam and in what country? Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your service! I wish I could have seen AK back in the 70's, 60's, 50's and so on. It's still a wild state, but not like it was back then. I first visited AK when I was about 5 years old, and it hasn't left me since. I'm active duty and currently in Japan for another 2 years or so. I started youtube to document this Alaska cabin journey for friends and family, but made the conscious decision to turn it into a second revenue stream. I never thought the channel would resonate with so many people the way it is😂 Thank you for watching and sharing your personal Alaska experience!
Holy carp..this is cooler than Chris Isaak😎 And then when he whipped out a case of Miller, champagne of beers... I went all in hook line and sinker. I'm looking forward to their posts.
😂 Thank you! I'll do my best to post a new video from this trip every Saturday morning PST for the next two months or so, and I hope you continue to find enjoyment in them 😊 Best wishes to you! Thank you for watching!
Ahh, it takes a special cord! I've heard the DC power trick multiple times, but it's never worked for me when I tried it with the cord that comes in the box. I'll have to try an aftermarket USB-C, thank you! And thank you for watching!
Nice job docking the Beaver. If you missed you would have to get the oar out😱. Good job with the over the shore landing too. Been awhile since I’ve done those in a float plane.
Hey you can't have that wire between the front of the floats. Thet cut mine off every year at inspection and I put new one right back on when I got home lol
Hi Guy Just wondering how you like your generator. I’ve lived off grid for 30+ years and have always used the Honda 1 or 2000 models. I think they may be quieter than the one you have. I have the same set up as you but I actually have the cord coming into the building through a hole I drilled into the wall. I suppose you will do something similar. I’ve enjoyed all your videos for over a year now I believe. Keep up the good work. I see progress and more comfort each time.
Hello! I have no complaints with the little generator so far. The motivating factor behind this one was the price, and it's ability to ship to HD in Anchorage. I plan on switching over to Honda when I'm living in AK and able to visit the cabin more frequently. Eventually, I'd like to wire an outlet into the cabin. This way I can plug the generator in outdoors, and have an outlet in the cabin for charging the EcoFlow, batteries, phones, etc. Very similar to the setup you're running now, from the sounds of it. Thank you for watching all of our videos and supporting the channel! We appreciate you 😊
I’ve got 9 cameras on my vacation house and 11 acres in Northeast Vt. Get all kinds of photos. Bears, raccoons, skunks, porcupines, coyotes, foxes, turkeys and a lot of deer.
That's awesome, I bet you get some really good pictures and videos! I'll have to pick up a few more cameras this year on Black Friday and set them up on my next trip. Thank you for watching!
Agreed! I'm hoping to pick some up on one of my next trips. I'm often constrained by budget and space/weight limitations on the aircraft. The solar panels didn't happen this trip. Thank you for watching!
Thank you much! She's a good pilot despite being one of the youngest at the Charter. She doesn't own any of these planes; they are owned by the charter and she's qualified to fly them all, from the PA-12 up to the Beaver. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Great choices! Both are great planes and very similar to my own favorites! Ones light, nimble, and able to land in remote places, and the other is a classic and more chunky; able to fly heavy loads to remote places. Thank you for watching!
I miscommunicated that, the speed test said 82Mbps download, and about 8.8 Mbps download. I was still able to upload a video from out there, and communicate with my family though! A nice and huge improvement😊
Absolutely! All the pilots I've flown with at this charter are fantastic and helpful. Even when they are chalked full of flights, they always manage to slip me into the schedule and get me out to my cabin. Thank you for watching!
Thank you! I have that on the to-do list. I used a new external mic this trip and it definitely caught a lot more of the background noise. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Thank you! When I saw Starlink came out with a mini that fits in a backpack, and there was one available at the HD in Anchorage, I pounced on the opportunity. No regrets thus far! It's expensive to get started, but very reasonable with their current plans and pricing. Thank you for watching!
Have you thought about some photovoltaic panels? They don't have to be big and strong. Just enough to give you energy. And then an additional battery to store the energy.
I have! I may get some panels designed for mobility and camping to use while I’m out there, then store in the cabin while we are away. It’s a great idea though! Thank you for sharing and watching :)
Wow 🤯 New person, how did you guys meet holy shit dude your wife is 🐐 and you are 🐐 Mother Nature works in great ways 👏👍😎 New and true hope we meet on our roads a head ❤️❤️👍👍🐐🐐🐐🐐😎
I had a black bear try to get into my house one time. No damage, but when I got home there were mud paw prints on my door and window. I was thinking, what the hell is he after? Well, I had some chicken in a cooler near the door that was starting to smell and that's what he was after. Twelve miles out of Fairbanks.
That's good to know! Some chicken in a cooler is understandable. I think some of the indoor cooking my dad and I were doing on the previous trip left some food odor - the bear was scratching around the kitchen area of the cabin. We are doing our cooking outside now. Thank you for watching!
I'm usually carrying one, but I flew in from Tokyo this trip; gun laws in Japan are strict and I wasn't able to pick one up along the way. Thank you for watching!
Thank you! The round trip cost depends on which plane you hire. The beaver plane in this video is the largest plane at the charter, so it’s more expensive. Round trip for this trip was about $1,800
I may skirt the cabin in the future. For now, I’m excavating out from under the cabin, fixing the foundation, and storing lumber under there for future projects. If I don’t skirt the cabin and ever spend much time there in winter, I’ll definitely insulate the floor, at a minimum. Thank you for watching!
Yes, they are browning trail cameras. They're not intended to be security cameras, but they do work as such! I'm happy they caught the bear, that was pretty cool. Thank you for watching!
The brand is Browning. I think they are the "strike force extreme" model. They are the most expensive game camera I've ever purchased, but heard they do well in extreme cold climates. We will see! Thank you for watching and commenting!
I won't deny that statement! But I will add a caveat that there's been a lot of hard work, discipline, goal setting, research, saving, and effort over the past several years making this dream happen. Thank you for watching, we hope you enjoyed the video! Best wishes and luck to you 😀
It's a WEN, from home depot, currently listed for $433 brand new. I got it for under $400 two years ago. I don't think it's as quiet as the little Honda ones, but it's been a great little generator for me thus far. Thank you for watching!
Yes! I forgot to spray after the last trip, resulting in this gal showing up. The cabin got a good wetting down after my last trip though! We will see if it helps any 😅 thank you for watching!
Why don't you replace your bear windows with metal ones..? Just wandering. 🤔 love the female pilot. You go girl. 👏👍 So beautiful out there. Thank you for sharing.
I wan't to re-build the bear shutters on a future trip. Metal ones would be cool, but I'd have to find ones I like the look of. These ones came with the cabin, so I'll use them until I'm able to re-build some. Thank you for watching!
I often think of that! We'd be pretty screwed at the moment, most likely. We live full time near Tokyo. In the future, we'd love to have a bigger property, bigger cabin, and a large pantry to see us through. Thank you for watching!
Nice cabin, but pretty sparse food pantry/storage for a remote location. Maybe consider dehydrating food and bringing it up? Add 10 lbs of pasta and rice, in case you get snowed in.
Good thinking! I try to keep as many food smells out of there as possible, as to not entice a bear or other critter from breaking in. Some emergency food is always important though. Thank you for watching!
@ you could store dehydrated foods in glass mason jars. Food could also be stored in metal tool boxes which lock. Both will prevent food smells from escaping. I saw someone in Churchill, Canada (which is in the polar bear migration path and has a serious problem with them,) set up a couple of bear boards - one on the floor in front of the cabin door and the other att the front of the door. You could make them to slide into a metal track frame for easy installation and removal. Maybe add gate latches too?
@@Katie105-l3f Good to know, thank you! Bear boards and window shutters are definitely on my list. I should make them more of a priority though - I think they would be a great deterrent. Thank you again!

I love seeing the woman pilot, she knows her stuff.
Yes she does! I've had only good experiences with the pilots at this charter. Thank you for watching!
She is hot. If I where in my twenties I would do anything for a date. 😂

Any video with an airplane on floats in the remote backcountry in Alaska with Miller High Life gets a thumbs up from me.
It sounds like we have similar interests and values 🤙 Thank you for stopping by and checking out the channel!
Really liked your fly in. That is some very beautiful country. Thanks for taking us along with you.
Thank you for watching! I'm happy you enjoyed the flight 😁 It's always one of the most exciting parts of the trip because the scenery is beautiful, and you've still got the whole trip ahead of you.
We flew with Will at Trail Ridge last weekend. I was telling him about this guy on UA-cam and his dad and a remote cabin. We shared a few details and realized he’d flown you out with supplies in the Beaver. Such a cool connection. Love the channel and thanks for showing us what is possible!
Will is great! Such a nice guy and a phenomenal pilot. That is a cool connection 😁 Thank you for sharing, and for watching! Best wishes to you and your family, and happy adventuring!
The new dock performed admirably,without it the unloading would have been incredibly difficult,good job.
Right?! Thank you much! It was definitely a pain the previous trip having to unload all the dock building material without a dock 🤣 Thank you for watching and commenting!
That's a GREAT PILOT for that type of aircraft 🛩
Right?! I highly recommend her and Trail Ridge Air if you ever need a charter out of Anchorage. Thank you for watching!
I've loved float planes all my life. Seen them in books and movies and TV and such. Finally saw one in person flying over Puget Sound back in June and it turned this 39 year old man back into a 9 year old kid again.
That's awesome! I was always facinated by the float planes around Puget Sound and taking off from Kenmore air. They are fantastic machines! Thank you for watching!
Another great video my friend. Glad to see you have more new videos. Looking forward to seeing your new projects you will be working on. Cheers!
Thank you, Bill! I'm hoping I have enough content for another 7 or 8 videos from this trip. I never know until I review the footage and try piecing something together 😂 Thank you for watching!!!
@@OhashiOutdoors You are very welcome my friend. I am sure you will have some great footage as always. Always look forward to watching .Hope you are keeping well. Cheers!
Bush pilots are awesome! I fully relate with the bear... sometimes you have an itch that you just can't reach. Glad the bear found your cabin for relief :)
Right?! I appreciate the fact he used it as a scratch post and left the door on it's hinges 🤣 Thank you for watching!
Amazing that you get better internet in the wilderness through Starlink than I get 20 miles north of Fresno CA! Thanks for another great video. The flight was awesome too.
Incredible, right?! I was able to upload a video to youtube, stream videos, etc. What a time to be alive! Thank you for watching!
Wheel barrows help a lot when transporting so much stuff from a dock to a camp. So many trips saved!
If only I had one out there! Thank you for watching!
Woohoo more episodes! That dock worked great for all that stuff you brought in....looking forward to seeing what happens on this trip.
More episodes is right! Hopefully 7 or 8 more if I have enough decent footage. Thank you for checking in again!
I had watched all your videos with your Dad but after watching this one, I went back to see when y’all were there. I was reading comments and was very surprised to read y’all were only there for nine days. I thought sure it was a month after seeing all you accomplished. Good work!🇺🇸
Thank you for watching all the videos! I can't wait for the day I can do UA-cam full time. Currently, one video is usually one day of filming edited down to the most interesting bits. Once I retire in about 8 years, I can spend a few days filming and working on different projects; this will give more variety to the footage and make videos more interesting.
I'm currently back in Japan where I live and work full time. I'll be editing videos from this mid-September trip for the next few weeks and hopefully posting a video every Saturday morning until I run out of content to edit. I hope that background gives more clarity for you! Thank you again🙇🏻
The fly in was aweosme! I also wondered how much you could carry on 1 trip. Looking great my friend!
Thanks, brother! Those little planes can carry quite a bit (especially the beaver). Thanks you for watching, as always!
Awesome work bro. This vid was instrumental for the future starlink set up and resources needed. Power station seems very critical to have for "off grid" living.
Thank you! It absolutely was. It cost quite expensive to get set up, but well worth the investment! Thank you for watching 😄
Thanks for the video, I hope you end up having a good winter.
Thank you! I'm hoping our winter is full of family camping trips in Japan. I hope you have a great winter, too! Best wishes
@@OhashiOutdoors
You are a world traveler?
Congratulations!
How is Asia (Japan) that time of year?
@@ahashdahnagila6884 I wouldn't say I'm a world traveler! My job moves me and my family every 3 years or so, and sometimes it's to a foreign country. My wife is also Japanese, so getting to live and work here for three years has been a ton of fun! Japan is beautiful this time of year. We plan on staying at a glamping cabin near Mt. Fuji this weekend (Possible youtube video on that coming up), and doing winter hot tent camping later this winter. We will make videos of these adventures and upload them to the channel! It's not Alaska, but it's still the outdoors 😁
Fly in cabin tip. Make sure to start taking advantage of your pickup flight for material haul in. You are typically paying for the flight to come in empty. Make sure it is bringing future building supplies other supplies like drinking water.
That's a great tip, thank you! I'll have to see if the charter is willing to do that for me next time. I often get picked up by a pilot on a return trip from dropping off hunters, other cabin people, or lodge visitors. We appreciate you watching and commenting!
Watching from Tasmania enjoying your videos stay well and safe 🐨
@@judithmccarthy6353 That's a ways away! Happy to hear you're enjoying our videos, best wishes to you and yours over there ☺
First thing I would do is build a ramp from dick to shore
Just bring bleach or chlorine! You don’t need water unless you don’t have a spring or well right?
My son and I made our one trip to Alaska in September. Had absolutely glorious weather the entire time and spent about 10 days I think. The salmon run was going and it was crazy. They were practically jumping in the boat. This was about 30 years ago I think and my son would have been around 8 years old. My brother was working up there at that time. We went out in the boat and went fishing and my brother assigned one rod to Lucas as his.... Which proved to be a big mistake as Lucas ended up catching a record size salmon for the boat thus far. 35 in long and 17 lb. I believe my brother emptied one of his freezers and I came back with between 50 and 75 lb of salmon fillet to pass out to the family.
We also got to ride the old White pass and Yukon railroad. The1800s train goes up to the border and back. I believe they were having a ceremony of the investiture of that marvel of engineering as one of the engineering marvels of the world. It was a stunning ride. How I wish to do it again. You and your dad should definitely put it on your bucket list.
Those are special memories! Alaska is beautiful in September and October with all the outdoor activities and changing of season. I'm sure you and your son were also thrilled when he caught the biggest salmon of the trip - 35" and 17 lbs is a massive fish! I always love watching all the freezer boxes going through the Anchorage airport on my return flight, too. There are few foods better than fresh caught Alaskan Salmon fillets!
I'll do some research on the White Pass Yukon Express; that sounds exactly up our ally. Since marrying a Japanese woman, I've become fascinated by trains, both old and new. The Alaskan Railroad truly opened up the state to a degree after it was built. Thank you for watching and sharing about your personal Alaskan experience! Best wishes to you and your family😊
@@OhashiOutdoors. We just did the White Pass Yukon Express train ride out of Skagway in early September. Although it was very overcast, it was still worth the trip.
@@jeffroberts1834 We are happy to hear it's still in operation! That's something I'll have to plan when I can finally get my family up to the cabin in another year or three. My son will love an Alaskan train ride! Thank you!!! 😃
Trail ridge, Rusts, Sportsmans, etc...and many others out of LHD alaska are awesome. Busiest float plane base in the world. Shoutout to all the ANC controllers and local air taxis that make our lifestyle great. Great vids man. Keep them coming.
I've only flown with two of the charters there and had a good experience with both. I like the "small family business" and flexibility offered by Trail Ridge. And thank you for recognizing all the controllers and charters out of LH! Making these videos would be a whole lot harder without them. Thank you for watching!
Well hello there from Ipswich Qld Australia!!! Just met you and your channel so have liked, subscribed, and added you to the 25 plus Alaskan channels Im already subbed from Fairbanks, North Pole and Tok across to Talkeetna, Willow etc to Southern Kenai Peninsula across to Juneau up to Valdez and everywhere in between. What an incredible State of the upper region of AMERICA !!!!!
I can see already what an amazing young man you are and no doubt I'll meet your beautiful Japanese wife and young son when I get the opportunity to peruse the videos listed on your channel. To be posted and living in Japan while you serve your country and continue to maintain an off-grid cabin in the outback , inaccessible lands of Alaska ,speaks volumes of your character. Looking forward with great anticipation to your future videos, where ever you choose to pist from. Abundant Blessings to you and yours Sir, from Nana Heather a Kiwi born and raised AUSSIE. 🇦🇺🤗💞🙏👍👌✌️👏✝️🇺🇸
Thank you so much, it's so nice to meet you!!! You sound like quite the expert on Alaska, and Alaskan UA-cam channels all over Alaska 😊
I have two Japanese camping videos that show quite a bit of my family. We will be making more from our winter camping trips over the next few months as well! Thank you again for such a sweet and thoughtful comment, Nana Heather! Welcome to the Ohashi Outdoors Family and Channel😁
As a retired aircraft maintenance supervisor I really wouldn’t know where to start working out the c of g on that aircraft that brought you in. I have nothing but admiration for the pilot. Next time you see her give her a salute from me.🇬🇧😊she should rename her plane THE TARDIS (as in the Dr Who series)
That's a great idea, I'll let her know if I see her on my next trip! That's also high praise coming from a man with as much experience as you. A good Alaskan bush pilot like her is truly admirable. Thank you for watching!
Wow you are a hard worker to go back and forth on that skinny board. Hat off to you sir
Thank you! Upcoming videos show putting deck boards on the walkway. I know my physical abilities and limits pretty well, but completed the dock walkway was definitely a priority 😂 Thank you for commenting and watching!
That is freaking nuts.
Thank you for watching!
I would have dropped one of those cargo door hinge pins in the water for sure! Hope she has some extras!😊
Knowing how prepared she is, she definitely has extras. She’s also a precise person, so I couldn’t imagine her doing that 😂 it’s always good to be prepared though! Thank you for watching!
I was thinking exactly the same thing 😊
I have a off grid land and cabin too. I call it my home too. No place I’d rather be I have to build a new dock and new storage shack and a new cabin soon.
That's awesome! It sounds very similar to our place in Alaska. We built the new dock, and a new storage shed is on the list, too. Thank you for watching!
I’m in love with the pilot ❤
She's a great pilot and person! Thank you for watching!
Another awesome video! I've often wondered about logistics and planning for a fly in/out location and I have quite a few takeaways from this. That take off out of Anchorage never gets old and we've used Rust's service but might have to give Trail Ridge a try next time. Great information on the Star Link setup and I really appreciate you sharing your adventures - always such great content.
Thank you much! I've flown with Rust's before, too; both charters are great. I prefer Trail Ridge because it's family owned and operated, and a smaller, more personal operation. Thank you for watching! Let me know if you have any questions about logistics out there. I'm not a professional, but have learned a lot and figured some stuff out thus far. Best wishes!
@@OhashiOutdoors I appreciate that and probably will be hitting you up with questions. Good to know about Trail Ridge and I'll definitely call them up next time.
Great little cabin in the woods. When you get time you might want to take the door knob out of your front door and turn it over. It’s in upside down. Pins in the lock should be at the top like your deadbolt. This keeps the dirt and dust out of the pins.
Thank you! That makes complete sense, I'll have to do that next trip! It was such a pain taking the old door knob off making this one fit last trip, I guess we overlooked that finer detail. I haven't installed many door knobs in my time either 😂 I'll make a not in my cabin book and get it done next trip, thank you!
@@OhashiOutdoors you will have to take the lock apart to do this. It’s really pretty simple to do. Get someone to show you how to take the lock apart. I have installed 1000’s of locks. Every once in a while you have to do this. You should be able to do this in 15 minutes right at the cabin.
Have fun building the deck. I looked up the information on the sea plane. Man that’s an old bird, built in 1952.
I really like that a gal is flying it as well. She looks like a lot of fun to fly with. Show us some big fish from the lake sometime if you get the chance
Between UA-cam and some organic mechanical ingenuity, I think we'll get it figured out! Are you a locksmith? I've played around with lock picking off and on since I was in high school. It's a fun, challenging hobby.
The Beavers are old, but still useful and incredible planes! It's an absolute joy to fly in them. This particular pilot is a home grown Alaskan and it's a ton of fun flying with her. She knows all the terrain features, rivers, lakes, and streams by name.
There is more fishing videos coming up in the coming weeks! No monsters, but some good sized fish. We hope you enjoy! 😊
@@OhashiOutdoors No I am not a locksmith per say, I have been a commercial superintendent for 30 years. Long time ago I got tired of all the sub contractors and suppliers messing up the locks and the lock schedules so I learned how to wok on and key locks. Mostly quickset and Schlage locks. I ended up being able to repair, rekey and cut keys for both of those brands. Did a ton of apartments and assisted living buildings.
The worst thing for your cabin door lock being in Alaska would be having wind blown water getting into the lock and freezing. Having the pins facing up will help with this problem, but you can still have issues if the locks get wet inside. I live in the cold north eastern part of the USA and master locks in the winter time can be a problem with the cold.
As for flying around in that old aircraft there is nothing like the sound of a radial engine. They sputter and smoke when they start up, but they have the best sound after they warm up and make power. Nothing else has the same sound.
It was fun to see you get the Starlink up and running back in the bush. The speed you got were not too good if you were in the big city, but out in the middle of nowhere and you have a useable internet is just pure magic. There was a time when I had to move around a HUGHS NET satellite dish. It was painful as hell every time you had to move it. Had to get it pointed just right, then pass a dish pointing test with the satellite before they would turn it on.
Now you just take an app on your phone look at the sky and it will tell you if your dish will work, and if so it walks you right through the setup.
When I was in in Alaska on a long vacation I had a real hard time getting the satellite internet to work because they were floating around in the center of the USA which made them very low in the sky in Alaska.
Have fun at the cabin. I will make sure to sub your channel so that I can see how your progress goes. Fix the rest of the dock before you fall into the lake with an arm load of groceries 🤣
Thank you for a bit of background on yourself, it's always fun getting to know some of the good people who watch out videos! And don't worry, finishing the walkway to the dock was the first major job I tackled this trip. Life is busy in the real world here in Japan, but I'm trying my best to release a video every Saturday morning PST for the next 7 weeks or so. Thank you again for watching and subscribing!
Hi buddy love the channel. I am hoping to get a place in Alaska I just have to convince my wifey it’s a good idea. Thanks for sharing. God bless you and your lovely family!
Thank you! Good luck convincing the wife. I lucked out and my wife is extremely supportive of my current and future Alaskan dreams! Thank you for watching! Same to you and your family 🙇🏻
Definately a nice little home. Home sweet home. ❤
Yes, indeed! I'm very happy with how our little piece of paradise is turning out😊
I LOVE the Rolling Rock beer-it is made 20 minutes from my house in Pittsburgh, Pa. Bottoms up!!!!! Don't be surprised if someday you wake up am I am sitting on your porch with a few cases of Rolling Rock!! See ya soon, LOL
That's awesome! My great uncle was a brew master at the PA Rolling Rock brewery many years ago. I'd have to talk to my Pa to get more refined dates. That's part of how RR became the family Cabin Beer!!! See you next trip 🤣
Glade to see you back at the cabin. Cant wait to see your latest upgrades im sure they will bec awesome. Take care young Man and play safe.
Thank you! This trip has less visual upgrades, but I did a lot of necessary prep work for the next trip. There will be more significant visual upgrades then 😁 we appreciate you watching!
No better sound than a Beaver at start up
Agreed! It's a beast of a plane. Thank you for watching!
No that’s one cool pilot!!!!
Yes she is! One of the finest I've flown with!
That was a great landing,,,,well done 😊
Wasn't it? One of the best I've seen, but I don't really know what I'm talking about when it comes to flying. I'm happy you recognize it though! Thank you for watching!😊
Those are amazing speeds on the starlink
Good to know! If you watch my Starlink video, you'll see a speed test showing over 130 Mbps download, and about 13 upload. It's a great asset to have out there. Thank you for watching and commenting!

For now, providing my cheap little Wen keeps working, I'm sticking with that because it's already out there 😂
I appreciate you watching, commenting, and sharing some good knowledge. Best wishes to you!
I have also been following Shaun, in Ontario. He is in the process of building his cabin. Have you seen his videos? Love these videos. You and Shaun have great areas to be in. So comfortable. , stress free. This is the way to live for sure. I have just subscribed. ❤
Thank you for choosing to subscribe! I have not seen Shaun in Ontario, but will check him out! My family and I are excited to visit the cabin much more in the future.
Had bears chewing my cabin so put bear boards all around the outside. Didn't stop them completely but slowed them down and made them wary.
Put about 400w of solar panels on the cabin roof and have a control panel and a large LFP batter, but you could use a 1500w(+) power station instead. Makes for reliable power and no noise but below freezing temps are not recommended for the LFP battery.
Interesting video.👍
Thank you! I'll have to some preventative bear/critter measures in the future. Bear boards and window shutters are part of that plan.
I don't plan on doing any permanent solar/batter set-up until I'm able to make it up there more regularly. I currently live/work near Tokyo. I fear the snow-load on the solar panels would deteriorate their lifespan too quickly.
Thank you for the great advice, for commenting, and watching!
Awesome video! Was hoping to see what was on the game cameras. At least you can talk to your family now with the Star link. You have come so far with the cabin. Hope to see your little experience it some day that would be awesome. Looking forward to next video.
Thank you so much! There wasn't as much animal footage from the game cams, but I suppose that means they leave the cabin mostly alone. I did catch the bear in the act, and also a moose at night. Pretty cool!!!
Thank you for always watching and commenting!
@@OhashiOutdoors I guess that’s a plus for you so no bears get in the cabin
Very beautiful country side. Thank you for another great video.
I will miss you but I’m looking forward to any camping videos you put out.
Safe trip.
From Australia
You're very welcome! Thank YOU for watching and commenting 😊
The dock is looking great! Amazing job 🎉
Thank you so much! My family and I appreciate you commenting and watching 😊
Ill have Starlink next time i head to my cabin. Im out close to the Yukon River and will eventually live there year round.
That sounds like the dream! I hope to live remote or rural in AK full time someday. Good luck with your Starlink! It's an awesome upgrade to have out there. Enjoy your trip and be safe! Thank you for stopping by our my channel.
I've got the Wen 4000 dual fuel. Love their gennys. I believe the Wens have one of the lowest decbil levels on the market.
It’s a great little generator! For a great price, too. Happy to hear the Wen 4000 is just as good! Thank you 🙏🏻
Just watched your video first time. Enjoyed !! Now your generator is noisy !! I have a brand called Radley 2500 watt inverter generator with variable speed. It's so quiet I cannot hear it when I go inside my shop.
Thank you for checking out the channel! Don’t worry, the generator isn’t in every video. Thank you for the recommendation, too! I’ll have to check out Radley generators. Eventually I’d like to get solar panels and a wind generator. Thanks again for watching!
The lake looks awesome flying into it!
It's a beautiful area for sure! The flight in is always one of my favorite parts of my cabin trips. It's the very beginning of the trip, there are often moose to see out the little windows, and I've got the whole trip ahead of me! Thanks for watching and commenting 😊 I'm digging your trapping videos since the season opened in Canada!
Wow that ride in rocked my life
It's some beautiful country up there for sure! I want to try filming some of the moose and other wildlife we often see on the flight in/out, but that requires a better lens than a GoPro 😂 someday! Thank you for watching!
We have starlink here in Chile at our house now for 2 years and it works great.
No mosquitoes in Chile for the most part or lets say very little.
I find it interesting you have to have a lock on your door!
Way out in the campo here that is not so needed. Ha.... Jim in Chile
Isn't it great?! Chile sounds very nice, especially with minimal mosquitos. I lock my door as an extra safety measure. It would probably be alright if I left it unlocked, but one untrustworthy person could really ruin my day if they didn't respect the place. Thank you for watching, Jim!
@@OhashiOutdoors I think we just have less people here in Chile and for sure we have much less crime. So that too would make a difference. Jim
2:03 Rolling Rock brewskis !
One of the best cabin beers in my opinion! You’ll see a lot of those brewskies on this channel 🤣 thank you for watching!
Can I just comment on how there's a Cane's Chicken all the flippin way up in Alaska but there are only TWO in the state of Alabama. Enjoyed the video and appreciate you taking us along on your solo journey!
that is an astute observation! I had Cane's for the first time last year and it changed my life. Alabama is a great state, but they need to get their Cane's situation figured out. Thank you for following along on the journey!
Really enjoy your videos. Was at Eielson AFB in the early 70s. You can leave Alaska but Alaska never leaves you. May I ask what you do as a job other than UA-cam and in what country? Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your service! I wish I could have seen AK back in the 70's, 60's, 50's and so on. It's still a wild state, but not like it was back then. I first visited AK when I was about 5 years old, and it hasn't left me since.
I'm active duty and currently in Japan for another 2 years or so. I started youtube to document this Alaska cabin journey for friends and family, but made the conscious decision to turn it into a second revenue stream. I never thought the channel would resonate with so many people the way it is😂 Thank you for watching and sharing your personal Alaska experience!
Perfect landing!
That's exactly what I said to the pilot! She's a phenomenal pilot, like all of the pilots at this air charter. Thank you for watching!
Holy carp..this is cooler than Chris Isaak😎 And then when he whipped out a case of Miller, champagne of beers... I went all in hook line and sinker. I'm looking forward to their posts.
😂 Thank you! I'll do my best to post a new video from this trip every Saturday morning PST for the next two months or so, and I hope you continue to find enjoyment in them 😊 Best wishes to you! Thank you for watching!
Awesome video. Should probably hang your conoe up either in the trees or on the side of the cabin.
Great thought! I have it up on some logs so it's out of the dirt. Eventually I'd like to have it up in a covered shed. Thank you for watching!
You can get a power cord for the starlink mini that plugs into the usb-c on your ecoflow. That way you aren’t converting from dc - ac and back to DC.
Ahh, it takes a special cord! I've heard the DC power trick multiple times, but it's never worked for me when I tried it with the cord that comes in the box. I'll have to try an aftermarket USB-C, thank you! And thank you for watching!
Nice job docking the Beaver. If you missed you would have to get the oar out😱. Good job with the over the shore landing too. Been awhile since I’ve done those in a float plane.
She's a great pilot! It's always a pleasure and a ton of fun flying with her. Thank you for watching!
Great videos. Pretty close to Skwentna? Love that area!
Thank you! As the aviators fly, not too far. It's a beautiful area! Thank you for watching😁
Hey you can't have that wire between the front of the floats. Thet cut mine off every year at inspection and I put new one right back on when I got home lol
I didn't know that! I'll ask the charter about it on my next trip though, it's a super useful thing to have. Thank you for watching!
Alaska the place where i wanna spend my whole life and my dream place to set in
That sounds like a John Muir quote! Thank you for watching😁
Greetings from Bangkok Thailand.. What a nice place. Happy to subscribe and follow.
Hello! Thailand is a beautiful country, You're lucky to live there! Thank you for subscribing and following along 🙇🏻😊 Best wishes to you!
Hi Guy
Just wondering how you like your generator.
I’ve lived off grid for 30+ years and have always used the Honda 1 or 2000 models. I think they may be quieter than the one you have.
I have the same set up as you but I actually have the cord coming into the building through a hole I drilled into the wall. I suppose you will do something similar.
I’ve enjoyed all your videos for over a year now I believe.
Keep up the good work. I see progress and more comfort each time.
Hello! I have no complaints with the little generator so far. The motivating factor behind this one was the price, and it's ability to ship to HD in Anchorage. I plan on switching over to Honda when I'm living in AK and able to visit the cabin more frequently.
Eventually, I'd like to wire an outlet into the cabin. This way I can plug the generator in outdoors, and have an outlet in the cabin for charging the EcoFlow, batteries, phones, etc. Very similar to the setup you're running now, from the sounds of it.
Thank you for watching all of our videos and supporting the channel! We appreciate you 😊
I’ve got 9 cameras on my vacation house and 11 acres in Northeast Vt. Get all kinds of photos. Bears, raccoons, skunks, porcupines, coyotes, foxes, turkeys and a lot of deer.
That's awesome, I bet you get some really good pictures and videos! I'll have to pick up a few more cameras this year on Black Friday and set them up on my next trip. Thank you for watching!
There are some nice fold-up solar panels that you could use to charge your battery. You would not have to use your valuable gasoline
Agreed! I'm hoping to pick some up on one of my next trips. I'm often constrained by budget and space/weight limitations on the aircraft. The solar panels didn't happen this trip. Thank you for watching!
Is there any sound sweeter than a big old rotary aircraft engine?? Those Beavers are the pickup trucks of the air!!
Right?! You’ve gotta love those old radial engines, there’s no other sound or feel like them! Thank you for watching!
Damn son you let the best thing out there fly off and leave you. Gotta love a woman that Flies a plane and lives in Alaska.
🤣 Thank you for watching!
Beautiful cabin you got there. I enjoyed the video. The pilot of the plane is pretty young. Do she own the other 2 planes to. Anyway take care.
Thank you much! She's a good pilot despite being one of the youngest at the Charter. She doesn't own any of these planes; they are owned by the charter and she's qualified to fly them all, from the PA-12 up to the Beaver. Thank you for watching and commenting!
My favorite planes are the Beaver and Super Cub.
Great choices! Both are great planes and very similar to my own favorites! Ones light, nimble, and able to land in remote places, and the other is a classic and more chunky; able to fly heavy loads to remote places. Thank you for watching!
get a solar panel sit-up or move that generator over the hill with a longer cord.
At some point I'll get around to fixing up a better setup. Great suggestions, thank you! We appreciate you watching!
What a load !
Right?! It’s not the biggest we’ve done out there, but the pilot said it best: “It’s a chunky one!” Thank you for watching!
Love this, so cool. ❤
Thank you! We appreciate you watching and commenting 😊
insane u can be out in the woods there is no roads no cars but upload 82Mbps :D now u can do more and it will be nice for u contact wit ur family
I miscommunicated that, the speed test said 82Mbps download, and about 8.8 Mbps download. I was still able to upload a video from out there, and communicate with my family though! A nice and huge improvement😊
thank you for sharing
And thank you for watching! My family and I appreciate your viewership and leaving a comment. It really helps the channel!😊
a nice pilot!
Absolutely! All the pilots I've flown with at this charter are fantastic and helpful. Even when they are chalked full of flights, they always manage to slip me into the schedule and get me out to my cabin. Thank you for watching!
Tough chick!! Cool as can be!
The toughest! And an awesome person, phenomenal pilot, and a true Alaskan! Thank you for watching!
Beautiful location, I think a generator enclosure would be first job, dull that awful noise. Cheers.
Thank you! I have that on the to-do list. I used a new external mic this trip and it definitely caught a lot more of the background noise. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Awesome cabin. I need to set up starlink at mine.
Thank you! When I saw Starlink came out with a mini that fits in a backpack, and there was one available at the HD in Anchorage, I pounced on the opportunity. No regrets thus far! It's expensive to get started, but very reasonable with their current plans and pricing. Thank you for watching!
Have you thought about some photovoltaic panels? They don't have to be big and strong. Just enough to give you energy. And then an additional battery to store the energy.
I have! I may get some panels designed for mobility and camping to use while I’m out there, then store in the cabin while we are away. It’s a great idea though! Thank you for sharing and watching :)
Wow 🤯 New person, how did you guys meet holy shit dude your wife is 🐐 and you are 🐐 Mother Nature works in great ways 👏👍😎 New and true hope we meet on our roads a head ❤️❤️👍👍🐐🐐🐐🐐😎
Thank you for watching!🤣
First thing I would do is finish the ramp from dock to shore
Great idea! Check out the next video 😊 Thank you for watching!
I really like your cabin ,!! Its very nice and cozy !
Thank you so much! We love it 😊 Thank you for watching!
It amazes me that they're bringing in planks of wood in.... there surrounded by trees....am I missing something...?
Cost must be enormous....
It's expensive, but my time up there is few, far between, and limited. Personal choices. Thank you for watching!
I had a black bear try to get into my house one time. No damage, but when I got home there were mud paw prints on my door and window. I was thinking, what the hell is he after? Well, I had some chicken in a cooler near the door that was starting to smell and that's what he was after. Twelve miles out of Fairbanks.
That's good to know! Some chicken in a cooler is understandable. I think some of the indoor cooking my dad and I were doing on the previous trip left some food odor - the bear was scratching around the kitchen area of the cabin. We are doing our cooking outside now. Thank you for watching!
Just wondering why no side arm when you know there are bears. Love your location!!
I'm usually carrying one, but I flew in from Tokyo this trip; gun laws in Japan are strict and I wasn't able to pick one up along the way. Thank you for watching!
Love the channel! Just curious what's the cost of the plane ride round trip?
Thank you! The round trip cost depends on which plane you hire. The beaver plane in this video is the largest plane at the charter, so it’s more expensive. Round trip for this trip was about $1,800
I am curious why you have not skirted cabin? Or is that planned for later?
I may skirt the cabin in the future. For now, I’m excavating out from under the cabin, fixing the foundation, and storing lumber under there for future projects. If I don’t skirt the cabin and ever spend much time there in winter, I’ll definitely insulate the floor, at a minimum. Thank you for watching!
Love this vidio❤❤
Thank you! We're happy you enjoyed it 😊
Hi make a box for that noisy generator 👍👌
Will do, on one of our future trips! You won't hear the generator in every episode, so not to worry😂 Thank you for watching!
Awesome 👍
Thank you for the comment and for watching!
Are those trials cameras you useing as security cameras
Yes, they are browning trail cameras. They're not intended to be security cameras, but they do work as such! I'm happy they caught the bear, that was pretty cool. Thank you for watching!
You have some really good surveillance cameras. Did you, or can you share what they brand and models they are?
The brand is Browning. I think they are the "strike force extreme" model. They are the most expensive game camera I've ever purchased, but heard they do well in extreme cold climates. We will see! Thank you for watching and commenting!
You are one lucky man.
I won't deny that statement! But I will add a caveat that there's been a lot of hard work, discipline, goal setting, research, saving, and effort over the past several years making this dream happen. Thank you for watching, we hope you enjoyed the video! Best wishes and luck to you 😀
What brand is that generator? It's whisper quiet!
It's a WEN, from home depot, currently listed for $433 brand new. I got it for under $400 two years ago. I don't think it's as quiet as the little Honda ones, but it's been a great little generator for me thus far. Thank you for watching!
Looks like you need some more Pinesol keep them bears away
Yes! I forgot to spray after the last trip, resulting in this gal showing up. The cabin got a good wetting down after my last trip though! We will see if it helps any 😅 thank you for watching!
Why don't you replace your bear windows with metal ones..? Just wandering. 🤔 love the female pilot. You go girl. 👏👍 So beautiful out there. Thank you for sharing.
I wan't to re-build the bear shutters on a future trip. Metal ones would be cool, but I'd have to find ones I like the look of. These ones came with the cabin, so I'll use them until I'm able to re-build some. Thank you for watching!
@@OhashiOutdoorsI guess protecting the door and front windows of the cabin is the highest priority.
Have ya thought 'bout what ya goin' do ifin' SHTF and the grid is down?? A big full panty would be good to have then, not just a cornor cabinet.
I often think of that! We'd be pretty screwed at the moment, most likely. We live full time near Tokyo. In the future, we'd love to have a bigger property, bigger cabin, and a large pantry to see us through. Thank you for watching!
What trail camera system do you use?
Browning, Strike force Extreme. I've heard good things from people who live in this region of AK. Thank you for watching!
Nice Canoe
Thank you! I love those old aluminum Grumman canoes. They are near indestructible and a pleasure to paddle. Thank you for watching!
Nice.
👍🏻 thank you for watching!
AWESOME
Thank you so much! We appreciate you watching and leaving a comment😊
Nice cabin, but pretty sparse food pantry/storage for a remote location. Maybe consider dehydrating food and bringing it up? Add 10 lbs of pasta and rice, in case you get snowed in.
Good thinking! I try to keep as many food smells out of there as possible, as to not entice a bear or other critter from breaking in. Some emergency food is always important though. Thank you for watching!
@ you could store dehydrated foods in glass mason jars. Food could also be stored in metal tool boxes which lock. Both will prevent food smells from escaping. I saw someone in Churchill, Canada (which is in the polar bear migration path and has a serious problem with them,) set up a couple of bear boards - one on the floor in front of the cabin door and the other att the front of the door. You could make them to slide into a metal track frame for easy installation and removal. Maybe add gate latches too?
@@Katie105-l3f Good to know, thank you! Bear boards and window shutters are definitely on my list. I should make them more of a priority though - I think they would be a great deterrent. Thank you again!
