- Welcome to our first season compilation video.
Whether you’re new to the channel and want to see what we’re about or just looking to get caught up, this episode is for you. Join us on our journey from April 2023 through October 2023 as we build our off grid, Alaska Homestead. Come with us as we see our Alaska property for the first time. Watch as we live in a cargo trailer while we start to build our 20 x 24 skillion roof tiny house. We begin developing three water sources, including a natural spring with the coldest most refreshing water I’ve ever tasted, put up an outhouse and take in some of the sights around the Kenai Peninsula.
Thanks for watching,
Craig & Chandra

This channel should have WAY more subs and views!!!! The channels that have fake drama or have just bought their homestead and put in no real work are getting more subs/views and it’s not right.
WTG!! Glad to see someone with vision and gumption. In 93 my hubby and I built a log in Michigan together. (My idea) Our 2 girls were not happy with a outhouse and showers when it rained or a trip to the river at night so they hung out with friends at a campground. Took us 6 months and lots of friends but finished a month earlier then the bank expected. Lived there 16 years till he got sick, sold it, and bought a place on a river for cash. So because of that home we've had no mortgage for over 18 years.
That is awesome!
Thank you for being real and showing the "real people" moments. All those "perfect people" videos make it seem imposible for real people to do this.
That’s why we do it. We got tired of watching the flawless videos. We’d try to do a project we seen online and struggle and be like, why is it so easy for everyone else? Then I realized, it’s just because they won’t show the screw ups. We don’t know what we’re doing and I can’t afford to pay a professional. I might be a bit ditzy sometimes but I’m not a dumb person so I figure if they learned how to do it, so can we. Maybe someone can learn from our mistakes or at the very least, have a laugh with us.
What a adventure!

Come winter, Styrofoam! Always warm when you use it in place of a toilet seat!
Just a little helper to make things better!
Thank you 😊
The shot of the “Christmas tree” and driveway shows just how beautiful your property truly is!
We are definitely blessed 🩵
We’ll install the solar system this spring and it’s getting decorated next year for sure 🎄❤️💚
BEST of luck!! Job well done!!
Thank you!!
keep on with the good work, you two are enjoyable to watch
Thank you, we appreciate that 🩵
You'll eventually have to get one of the big plows for the front of your truck for future road clearing!
Craigs wanting a tractor. We’ll see 😆
New subscriber here. I'm impressed with you guys but sure don't envy you! I see that the snow has melted. That's a good sign! Can't wait to follow your vids.Good luck and God bless!
Welcome! Thank you for joining us. We are new to editing and trying to improve and learn as we go. We appreciate any feedback.
How cool is that, building a house together as a family. What an opportunity for your son to learn building skills, from dad at that, even more special.
It's a good feeling to look back and see your progress. I remember 😊
What a adventure you guys have had this year. Starting with a blank slate to making it your home. Can't wait for more adventures. You will make mistakes but step back laugh and learn and push forward, you will perceiver you are a buckeye.
Thank you 😊

My wife and I made the 1,200 miles from New York to South Florida in 2013. We couldn't be happier.

Thank you 😊
Hi guys! Fun to look back at that first video when you showed up to all that snow. Rough start but glad you persevered! Been watching from the beginning and have really enjoyed your sense of humour through it all! You have to be able to laugh when it’s all going wrong because it surely will. Looking forward to you getting back to Alaska and continuing your build! Take care! T!
Thank you so much, we appreciate that.
It’s easy to forget how hectic and fast paced things are down here. It’s nice being able to help family and visit for the holidays but we’re ready to get back home. Thanks for watching 💜
Hopefully you can get in your driveway!@@ouralaskahomestead
Don't forget to send them some money ,brother
This is a dream of mine too. Subbed to live vicariously through you for now :P
Awesome thanks for sharing
Beautiful property, always learning along with you.
Hey great video and I hope the winter is going good.
Alaska! Gotta love it
Nice work !!
great job on the build enjoyed watching
What a beautiful journey you had to get there 😊🌸
Delightful video, thank you.
Just found your channel. WOW! I'm going back now to watch the older videos. Loving this.
God bless your family ❤️🙏
Thank you for sharing your adventures
GREAT JOB, EVERYONE.
Just found your channel. WOW!!! Excellent video. I'm going back and binge watching to get caught up.
Great!
Already a pretty yard, very nice!
That's really good to meet some locals
Watching from Michigan. God bless on your adventure 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼🧡💚♥️💙
Great job Craig and Chandra! We live in FL and have land in Homer. I am planning on building a cabin almost identical to your design and that’s how I found your channel. Our white GSD is part of the family so it’s nice to see them in your video. I would like to meet for coffee one day and get some guidance/ lessons learned from you. I might be there in late spring. Keep living the good life.👍
Yeah, that sounds good. Reach out once you get up here. Happy to chat.
If you have trouble with your vent leaking in the future. Replace that section of roof and use a Deck Tight rubber flashing. That was a shingle flashing. The deck tight are silicone with a small metal ring at the base that can be formed over the ribs of your flashing. You set it in caulking “Through The Roof” then put a final coat around the edge. It’s a clean fit and you won’t have as big of a hole in your roof.
what a beautiful piece of property you have
I subscribed to your channel last week and have been playing catch up. You can see a massive improvement in videoing and editing from now to this older videos. Good job guys!
I really like the setup how the inside looks like you have to do what you have to do to get it done
That’s exactly what this year was about, just getting it livable and ready for winter. The finishing will get done next year.
Outstanding Craftsman ship 👍!!😇
LOVING EVERYTHING, ESPECIALLY THE FOOTAGE PICS...AWESOME INDEED, THANKS AGAIN.
Thank you for joining us 🩵
Like it!
So far Great job and thank you for keeping it real. I like the team work.
Thank you 😊
I love watching you guys, you make it fun. I learned different brands of gutter parts don't always work together. I've modified so may parts for my gutter and some parts take alot of adaptors.
I love your adventure, your home building, love your video.....Blessings !
Thank you 😊
You’ll have a beautiful piece of Alaska!
Thank you 😊
I just found y’all and I’ve falling in love with your family. Hit and miss, you’re gonna get it right. Land is most beautiful and love the dogs. 🐕 🐕🐕🤩

I subbed because it is nice to see real people new to homesteading in Alaska.
Thank you for joining us. We’ve got lots of projects coming up this summer on top of finishing the house. Ducks, gardening, solar install, first time fishing, building a garage……
@@ouralaskahomesteadlook at the bright side the more established channels have to keep coming up with content and you guys are aways away from having that problem.
@@therealz360z7 so true! It feels like we’ll never get finished 😆
I’m a new subscriber , really enjoyed y’alls video . Can’t wait to see the next one. Happy Adventures.
Thank you for joining us 🩵
Quite educational, real and funny. Keep your sense of humor.
Thank you 😊
Can't wait to see what you guys do I'm a new subscriber
Welcome! Glad to have you join us on our journey!
Today was the first time I Saw your Chanel, I enjoy everything. Goodluck in your new home.
Thank you for watching💜
You guys are fun to watch.😂
Thank you 😊
This is the first time I’ve watched your video and I enjoyed it so much that I subscribed.
I’m looking forward for your video’s in the future.
Thank you so much for the kind words, it means a lot to us. We’ll be driving back to Alaska soon and have some good winter content for everyone. In the mean time I hope you enjoy or current project, rebuilding after the fire-Tennessee Mountain cabin videos.
Just ran accross your channel an watched your build video...Good luck!
Thank you so much 😊
Famous last words..."I will come back to it and fix it later" 😂 I call those things part of my 20 year program.
😂
Good evening 'Our Alaska'. I just came across your channel this evening and watched this entire video. I really enjoyed the content of building, plus the scenery is beautiful. I absolutely love it when channels show us the landscape, trees, etc...
I subscribed here, plus gave you a second subscription from my back up channel.
Really looking forward to your future videos.
-Heidi from Michigan
Aww 🥰 thank you so much. We’ve got a lot of projects planned for the spring/summer. Plus, Craigs taking me on a marine life tour and a ride on the train so they’ll be lots of great scenery coming up. Thanks for joining us x2 😉
Merry Christmas to you and family ! Just came across your channel and loving it. The scenery could be more clear, next time...very great content. ❤😂🎉
I just discovered your channel and am enjoying watching your progress on the homestead. Thanks for sharing. Janis from Oregon

Greetings from The Interior.
Welcome to Alaska!
Thank you! We love it here🩵
Hey guys! i arrived to my homestead on the kenai peninsula in may '23! i'm from missouri. loving it up here!
We are too! Thanks for watching and good luck on your homestead.
I checked out your page. You should get a band going up here. Almost all the music is hippie folk or country. We need some variety, something heavier.
Nice job gies.. looks great 👍
Thank you so much. Glad your husband made it home safe 🩵
This was a great video. First time visiting viewer. I was reading an article about a couple with 2 children leaving AK for Florida, where I live. It’s usually the opposite way.
I’m glad you enjoyed it, that means a lot to us. A lot of people move up here but find it’s not the place for them. Winters are long, summers are spent working to prepare for winter, everything is expensive.
Ist time watching ya'll. Enjoyed you keeping it real. Will be back for more & looking at some of your past vids😂.
Thank you for joining us!
Everything will come together just take your time relaxing come down God bless you,s Amen
Great start to a awesome life .
Just subscribed, from central PA. I love watching you guys!!! So real! You're doing better than any of the people I know!!!
Thank you 😊 so glad to have you join us.
Hi from the UK just found you and subscribed

Yall are awesome! I had the same dream , its an amazing place!

Good luck in your new adventure Best Wishes from ENGLAND UK
Thank you 😊
Great job guys 😂 I love the gutter part keep up the good work
Thanks! 😁
Wow, pretty impressive how fast tne structures going up.
Summers short so no time to waste.
Thank you for sharing your journey. Even though we've already watched your previous videos, we thoroughly enjoyed the compilation. Keep safe and God bless. Are you back from Tennessee yet?
To my dismay, not yet. There was quite a delay in getting their beams for the upstairs garage floor, ended driving to WV to get them. Should have those installed today and work on framing the upstairs walls tomorrow. It’s coming along.
@@ouralaskahomestead hang in there guys 💪👍
Wow, now that is a lot of snow
It was definitely more than I was expecting for that time of year. ❄️
Danke für euer schönes Video.
Ihr habt sehr sauber und korrekt gearbeitet.
Grüße aus Germany
Going to be watching more, thank you for the video - very interesting - including to occasional funny uncertainty. We all ‘enjoy’ a little confusion now and again. Not many tackle what you are doing so chapeau to you. Scaffolding thing made me a bit nervous though. Spring water a great find. Keep attacking !
Regards, phil - Suffolk. U.K.
Thank you Phil 😊
You were making me laugh when doing your gutters, but love the fact that you are not perfect builders. That being said the two of you work well together and you are getting it done. Your making memories
I wanted to leave that out because it was just ridiculous how bad we were doing but we were laughing at it while editing and decided others would probably enjoy it too. We all have those days where things just don’t come together 😂
New subscriber. Looking forward to your journey and channel. Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ.
I did a nursing travel contract in Tucson once. Those back to back 16hr shifts they do down there are no joke! Thanks for watching Nurse Judi.
Living the dream! Found you guys on the peppers page.
Thanks for joining us!
Blind leading the blindfolded…love you both!
