Thanks for the shout out, but you give me way to much credit! Definitely not full time like yourself. With that said, we have a saying for those out in my area. The struggle is real! It takes an independent soul to take the outdoor life on. You are definitely a person that conquers obstacles. Mad respect!
I give all of you who can sustain this lifestyle mad respect….. Rather you reach out for a little help or not. The Alaskan lifestyle is not for everyone. Be proud and keep doing what brings you all happiness.
You are amazing . 🇨🇦 I enjoy your videos .
I have been living a remote life for over 40 years. The very 1st thing I do in the spring is get all my firewood in for the YEAR. My wood stove burns at least 8 months of the year,24/7. Without firewood I would not be able to make it. I get it 1st thing just in case through out the year I should break an arm or leg and wouldn't be able to get it. The smallest Of problems Put you dead in your tracks. Everybody can use a hand now and then for help that's normal. All we can do is,as much as possible by ourself. You're doing good give yourself a pat on the back.
I’m a seventy seven yo widow living on forty acres in the mid west. Have a fifteen year old Polaris 6x6 with a dump bed that gets be about anywhere getting my own wood. I use electric chain saws that are lighter for me to use. Sometimes I really don’t care for company for a long time and try to be as self sufficient as possible. have a very reliable handy man that is reasonable and actually shows up when needed which is not very often maybe once a month. I also use firewood to heat and keep over a weeks worth on the back porch that was so handy when we had the ice storm a few days ago. Take care out there!
I live solo and alone in Interior Alaska also. One thing I have learned in my 15 years of living this lifestyle is that we need others, we need community.
Yeah, I’ve learned the hard way that seeing / talking to no one for months at a time. Is not as good I thought. I don’t need a lot. But I need some! Your amazing. No man is an island. And we’re only human. Bummer. Right?😉🤣 I’m friggn proud of you and I don’t even know you. Impressive 😊
I would love to live in such a beautiful and remote place, but know that I don't have what it takes (health reasons) to manage a homestead....this is why you are a SHERO to me and many like me 💗. You have done so much at the cabin! Remodelling takes time, even when resources are readily available. Sending hugs and blessings to you and Kenai. BTW, you don't talk too much, your videos are balanced and spot on ✨✨✨Keep up the good work friend!
Same here. She's amazing.
If it is a ermine he is chasing Norwegian roof rats.
I like your videos just the way they are. I like how you explain your lifestyle and the plans that you have. Everything takes time and planning and finances. Living off grid is hard work, especially in the winter months. It requires a lot of energy and time just to get the daily chores done and only then can the other non-essential things be attended to. It can be difficult for some to understand what it is truly like to live out this dream. Thank you for sharing your experiences...
Love the Kenai Klips.........what a fun pup you have. Looking forward to your next video already. Thank you for sharing.
My dear, Dick Proenneke lived in a one-room cabin. You have a massive home and other structures. My best friend's husband was crazy about the Proenneke story. He was fascinated by his life. He walked many miles every day for hunting, picking berries, etc. Some of the food came to him by plane. You got this girl, hang in there. :-)
Kenai did really good in his boots!! Love the outtakes!!🤗
I also love the old-fashioned way you do your dishes that’s what I do too. I use cotton hand towels to wash and linen towels to dry. I only use a scrubber broom stick material and do that with my cast-iron that Has to be done that way, but I don’t use sponges or any types of modern implements to clean or care for my house. Everything is very vintage and old. I love that you’re doing that. It’s also helping you environment..
I personally love hearing you talk, explaining all your hopes and dreams. You do so much! Incredible. Val C 😊
Hi, Alone! I’m super excited for the completion of your bathroom. I can wait though, as I know it takes time as a one woman team. I love your channel and especially love when you shoot your videos in the cabin. I’m older and wish UA-cam was a thing back in my day. Videos like yours may have changed many things about the vicinity of my life. Of course those of us who prefer seclusion and isolation know we cannot live life without asking for a helping hand at times. I completely understand your point of views. I can do months without human interaction and I’m ok with that. 😂 Please be mindful about how much you share with others. So what if they think you have another behind the camera, let them.
Have you ever thought about having a or some helping hands come out and stay on your property in exchange for hunting your land? Maybe you know someone who is a skilled carpenter (in the lower 48) and you can barter with them.
Your outtakes are comical….. love them.
Good luck you and Kenai stay safe..
Love love love Kenai! ❤️🐾❤️
Maybe wait to do your ceiling until your son comes out so that you'll have a "spotter".
If you have so many projects to do when family visits the time goes so fast and parents want the kids to look forward to visit not work
Hi Alone! Its always nice to know if you need to ask for help, you have people to lean on. Uugghh now a ermine in the house! Little stinker! Kenai looked so cute with his new orange coat and his boots on! So excited to see all your plans for your home come to life! Another great video, excited for the next one!
-Paula & Jason
Girl, you're doing what I wanted to do, many years ago. When I came out of high school, I wanted to go to Alaska to live. I had a lot of skills (thanks to my parents) and I probably would have done well. However, life had other ideas and that dream never was able to be realized. Now, being a senior senior, I know I couldnt do it. Too many health issues and a big family😂Although they are all adults with their own lives, I still wouldnt want to be 3000 or miles away. I enjoy your videos and watching you tackle life, your way. I live rural and as simple as I can. Raise most of my own food and just enjoy doing what I can. May God continue to bless your life.
Living remote and solo is a frightening thought for most people. I do quite well with the lifestyle.
There's also Mushers Secret paw protector - a wax you put on to protect dog's paws.
You handle the cold sooooo well with no coat or gloves. I'm convinced you were a Polar Bear in a past life.
Your living free. Now that's a life worth living!
I love Copper River Basin, and, Copper River Red Salmon.
I'm grateful I can see what you're doing.
Fireweed, so wonderful and the Lights.
Abe Lincoln said: Chop your own wood, you'll warm yourself twice.
I love the look & smell of Cedar wood & helps keep moths away & supposedly mice. ??? Good choice Alone!
Always like watching your videos. Something I have noticed when you're out in this cold weather stacking wood...why can't we see your breath? Just wondering😊
# We LIKE to HEAR the Squirrel's & Birds : )
The outtakes are real for sure… birds and squirrel rat us out 😂 great video. Excellent editing.
Good Day miss Alone !!! A support network is vital in remote areas. Good to have people to associate with. The price of a cooper tub convinced my sister to go with a claw foot & it looks nice. I've been alone most of life. Never married. 1 daughter. I do have some friends here. Great video , waiting to see completion of bathroom & tub.
If you carpeted the loft stairs then they wouldn't be slippery.
Not having a support network down where I was at definitely played a part in why I left. I'd met some of the neighbors but I didn't have time to build a friendly relationship with anyone there. It wasn't a big reason, but it was a reason for sure. That's also why I decided not to look for land down there, I'm going to stick to where I have friends already. 🙂
Hi Matt! It can definitely be hard to get things done when you're the only one around to do them. And making friends up here can sometimes be hard too. I have heard people say that they tend to not get close to people until they have been in the area for several years for fear that they will just leave due to not being able to handle it here. I think your decision is a wise one. 🤗
❤
I remember the documentary…excellent and fascinating!
I enjoyed his voice…the way he explained what he was doing, planning to do, etc. Such a great documentary ❤
It is nice to have a support network. Having to buy wood where you are, has to be expensive. Knowing what you know, do you wish you had bought a smaller cabin?
Good question John. When I built my home in 2019, I built a relatively small home in todays standard. I heat with firewood, and the house is well insulated. Glad I didnt listen to those saying I needed to build bigger. Firewood is crazy expensive here these days also. I always buy raw wood in the spring, its cheaper. I stack it in my garage (uninsulated, metal roof, gets hot in there in the summer) and let it dry over the summer, ready to be used after Christmas the same year.
That hose drain from your tub can water your garden in the summer❤
Take good care of the ermine, they hunt mice. 👍 I sent you an e-mail with ideas for a copper watertank over the wood stove in your bathroom.
Hello from Arizona. It's been a bit since tuned in . My mom has passed away and now it will be HELLO FROM OREGON COAST. ITS NOT BEEN A GREAT past 6 months but am here now taking over mom's house.
Condolences on the passing of your
Mom. 🙏
Sorry about your loss. Hope the next 6 months are better than you can hope for. God bless you
So sorry for your loss 💞
I have beautiful cedar bedroom furniture my mom bought it when she graduated high school she is 86
You answered the one question I had about how you were going to drain the tub. We got 10 inches of snow here in Tennessee and we are trying to get back to normal. No mail for 2 weeks nor garbage pickup. Schools and most businesses closed. It was days before we could even get out of our driveways because the temperatures dropped down to zero and stayed very cold for at least a week. This was not normal for here. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week.
Howdy "A" glad to see u! Im gonna watch it NOW! 🤗 I'm thinking:) "I'll be baaack"
okeydokey? ✌😎
You don't find it weird that you have a coat on the dog and you are in a sweater?
Thanks for providing a bit more insight into 'Alone' in Alaska. BTW, your outtakes are great.
You should be able to ask the post office to hold your items and tell them you don’t make it in as often
Get a cat..you can borrow my 40lb Ragdoll cat...Bob-0-Lynx...😊
Kenai is sooooooo happy with his garment(s).
LOL love the out-takes! No man -or woman- is an island, as the old saying goes. Dick Proenneke, though he travelled, had visitors, deliveries, etc. still managed to impress and influence many to take on his lifestyle. Hell always be an icon. I love your videos, Annie. 👍😎🇨🇦🐾🥇💫👌👒🛁🔥
So, you mentioned different individuals that “thought” they could do life alone, only to find they did gravitate towards others. Go back to the beginning. God created Adam, alone. When He created Eve, He said it was good, man was not meant to be alone.
Question if I am not mistaken looks possibly like a colt pistol. How could you get your gloves off
pull the gun, cock it in time to actually fire it when needed ? I no longer live in Alaska but my daughter
was born there.
Your hair looks super cute 👍
Ms. Alone, thank you so much for posting your video's. I live precariously through you. I'm from Ontario, Canada. When I was 21, my best friend and I moved to Vancouver Island. Best 2 years of my life! I know its not as remote as you by any means, but your channel has flooded me with so many memories, and regrets! Thank you so much for being your authentic self and letting us into your life! (hugs from Canada) Sorry, but not sorry LOL
Why wear makeup 😂
Btw where did you get your dogs boots? I'd love to get them for my dog however he has huge feet. Fighting a double pneumonia so I'm glad I'm not there but here.
Hi Sarah! I am sorry to hear about your pneumonia. I hope that you are in better health soon. You would think that I wouldn't even have make up here, however, I am so very pale that without mascara and eyeliner, I would appear to be void of any facial features. 🤣 There is a link for the dog booties in description of the video. I chose these because they were the only ones large enough for Kenai's feet.
Turns out i have pulmonary fibrosis not good news@@AloneinRemoteAlaska
I am sorry to hear this. Is there anything the doctors can do to remedy the disease?
@AloneinRemoteAlaska sadly I have Pulmonary fibrosis. Not good news. But it is what it is
After your baths in your tub you could use that bath water to wash sheets & towels & blankets, coats... Bigger type laundry & use some to mop floors & then drain water from tub & then douse the clothes in tub with rinse water & then drain & leave clothes laying in tub for awhile to let more water keep dripping out.
They dont bother me as long as they stay outside. With cats ,they demise quickly if they come inside!!!!!!
You can use shingles for anti-slip and/or a finish with sand in it or rubber treads Alex says. If only we lived closer, Alex is one of the best carpenters.
Dick Prenoki was a legend . I love watching his videos from long ago . My Dad used to watch his documentary every time it came on TV . Would love to live like he did . The hunting and fishing and surviving was very educational . I also loved watching him feed the birds out of his hands . Love your videos also and can't wait to make it to Alaska to live my own adventure lifestyle . Stay Safe and Stay Warm up there in God's Country .
☀️ Hello there, I like your videos of your life in Alaska.
I'm from Hawaii and I wanted to move there back in 2009, but...GOD had other plans for me and so I'm currently residing in WA. Since 2015🏄🏝️🌺 Aloha.
Being in relative good health is a very important factor in residing alone in a remote region. 🤗. No claustrophobic issues in that cabin-!!!😉
Hello Alone and Kenai! Love his mew jacket and bootsies. He fid well with the shoes. Stay warm and safe!!
Thank you for the video Alone.I enjoyed it as always.Im glad you got some dry fire wood.
Nobody can really ever live alone. It’s extremely difficult and we’re not meant to be that way we are social animals. I never understand the complete isolationist attitude even where I live, which is very isolated. There is still humanity around and there is a small town nearby without that I would never survive. And I would not want to. Even living out here sometimes I really miss back home. I miss the city. I miss my friends and it’s a day-to-day how long I’ll do it you just never know.I’m glad you have some people around you. We’re supposed to be around people.
Awww. Sweet Kenine. I just want too hug and kiss sweet face.
It doesn't matter where you go in this world, when you step into rural living, you're going to need to find creative ways to make yourself comfortable and to survive. It's part of the process, and just about anyone can do it. It's that process of using one's creativity to create a unique lifestyle that is "pure luxury" to me!
Your a wonderful fur mommy!
Kenai seems very appreciative. You seem very adapted to Alaska and yes. We all require help at times. Don’t fret that. We’re not invincible.
Thankmyou for sharing your updates about projectsbat the cabin. So glad you are using 100% Tung Oil. Great choice. Get the foot back to 100%, before starting any work on projects. Wonderful things collected from the post office box. Looks like the cost and the botties were a great choice. Those outtakes are very cool. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia.
Best wishes on getting your work completed. God bless you
I feel like it's a good thing to acknowledge that in much of life we need one another. Not to say you can't survive on your own (not just you, everyone) but there might come a time when they need you... and that's ok. You're literally one of the most self sufficient humans I'm personally aware of. You put me to shame, every day.
Or scary black ice on the roads.
I have wanted to move to Alaska, I am an older woman, rather introverted. Remote living would be my first choice.
You have such good reasoning for all the answers to peoples questions. Some of the questions are not appropriate or the people have no clue about living alone. I’m scared for you (I can’t stay alone, even with my Winchester and Glock), but you have security handled. Oh boy silly inappropriate question🤣🤣 I think the booties are great. I’ve read that after 10 min, dogs feet start to freeze. Our area was negative 35 below for a week ( Chicago) and my dog absolutely loved to play and run outside with his toys. Go figure. Stay warm and safe.
Dodge is so smart, it is beautiful were you live. Thank for showing us around. I just happened to run across your videos. I'm from arkansas ..
You should cover or put that wood in a shed where it's dry.
I hope that you are sponsored by Alaska because the information that you had given is worth its weight and goal for anyone who like myself is considering moving to Alaska I currently live in California. I thank you and I hope Alaska sponsors you for giving us such priceless information. Thank you.
Hi Alone...The lifestyle is definitely alot of work and always challenging in many ways...You're still a bad *ss!!...be safe out there and stay warm😊
Kenai is such a ham! 😆♥️
LOL!! Need to teach Kenai how to stack wood!! Jk. I tell my boy he needs to go get a job. He just wags that tail and does the ‘pet me, pet me” thing. I had read that Praeneke had a brother who worked at Disney and that is where Disney’s nature films started and came from, so he had lots of outside contact. Not taking anything away from him, he still lived a very interesting and hard working life, just as you are doing.
I always wanted to live in Alaska I love hunting and fishing I was born in Kentucky and I've hunted in many states camped out west to
As much as I have dreamt of living on my own away from others, the truth is, we are social creatures, and we need one another to make it through life.
I own a farm and have a lot of freedom and room to do most of what I want.
Like, streaking across the yard to my pool.
I'm happy with what I have.
Was thinking and trying to remember if you have ever mentioned earthquakes. If you have and how often have these occur? I have been through a couple here in Ohio. Thanks
Great video!
Well you don’t have many people around but your definitely not lacking animal friends or visitors I should say. Lol 😅. It’s always something. ❤. Take care Alone. I hope you have a great week. Wonder what friend the next few weeks will bring? 😬. Hopefully a nice sweet one that won’t cause trouble! ❤
Thanks for another video miss alone.i wish i could help you get the cabin and homestead you want...i could.
I was going to start using my youtube channel to spread the knowledge i have to help people like you but i smashed my phone and the desk top computer i used finely died and at the same time.i lost control of my yotube,yahoo email and my banking..plus my debit card got robbed.i,ve tryed and tryed to get my youtube back and my email.i had to start one one,s and have been so busy working i haven,t done anything with my new youtube channel.
I couldn,t be at your last live chat..sorry!!! The weather has been decent here so i,ve been in the woods working alot.. trying to make money for a exploration trip to alaska...plane ticket and van rental and gas and grub money.
Have you ever considered getting a cat? I know they are another mouth to feed and would be another thing to have to take care of.
Hi Gary! Yes, I have given the idea of a cat much consideration and might someday after Kenai has passed and the time comes to get new dogs. Thanks for watching the video and your question. 🤗🐺💗
Thank you for answering my question, well Kenai looks like a strong and good dog. I am sure you will have many wonderful years with him. Best of luck.@@AloneinRemoteAlaska 😁
Have you considered buying a cheap/used saw mill set up? If you did that, and considered changing from cedar to whatever tree material is available on your property (or close by that you could source) you could then possibly find someone close enough by to help you with milling some wood to finish the inside of your cabin with and it would likely work out to be MUCH less expensive, and you'd also have better flexibility in accessing that material instead of trying to schedule someone to deliver massive amounts of it over long distances. You could have a helper work with you to handle the biggest logs to cut them down to more manageable sizes for you to work with when you are trying to work alone. I'm a contractor in New Hampshire myself, and I'd be happy to help you devise some kind of plan if you want to look further into an idea like that. You are doing great though no matter how you go about it! Impressive
He’s being a normal dog .
I had an orange reflective jacket for my dog .
Its okay to talk to the birds. Just dont act on what you think you heard from them.
You are a SuperWoman!
I couldn't live in Alaska or out by myself for health reasons I do live close to my small town but in the country I have big trees around my house I could never live in town or a city
Well I'm sure there's a explanation for the noise but I'm going to tell you cryptids are real and you might have a dogman on the roof they love to do that so make sure upstairs window and doors are locked to outside . Put up a couple game cameras that tell you what's getting on the roof
I used sandpaper-type grip tape on the vintage steep wooden stairs at my old cabin. I have big feet so it helped me quite a lot. Amazon probably sells it.
I loved all your video, Kenai is very a sweet pup. The outtakes at the end, I think we could be kin, lol.
You are going you have friends that help which we all need at times to be honest you have pretty good be safe and wish the best you know what life is in the crazy lower 48 states so you got it 😀👍🍷🔥
I want an A frame cabin. I believe that will prevent climbing to remove the snow on the roof.
I want the big fryer you show, I live off grid and heat my water on the stove. The one you have is not in the link. Thanks
I was going to say red squirrel, they’re a pain at the camp in Michigan
If it's that cold why is your breath not steaming?
Sometimes it's nice not to feel alone sometimes❤
You are so a mazing woman !!! I love-it all yours videos !!!
Why are you wearing your gun in the winter around the porch
Ermin oh my goodness that little white guy he’s cute
Nope you always need others, but you can trade off
Hi Alone, you're amazing. You don't talk to much. I love the projects. You will get them done in time.
Just like everyone, few people are able to live entirely by ourselves.
