  • Welcome to our new channel.#alaska #offgridcabin #homestead
    Break-up is here. That time of year in Alaska when construction gets back underway. Or in our case, just begins. Our first few days were spent getting on the land and planning, along with clearing out some trees.

      @JayAndEleinne I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I wasn't there long. A heads up, though, many of the places were not open, but they may be by the time you arrive. A lot of places are seasonal due to tourism. The library/museum is a very interesting building. If you are into museums, call ahead and check the hours. You can also make an appointment to see the museum if it is not scheduled to be open during your visit. I was not aware of this ahead of time. And don't forget to bring snacks for the Ravens.

    Hi ya'll! I spent the best years of my childhood in Alaska. Fairbanks and Kenai. I have never forgotten Kenai and it is still my favorite place. I am 65 now and am living in the UK. You are doing what I always dreamed of but I let life get in the way and now I am too old (physically) to make a go of it. I fed my sense of adventure that Alaska gave me by joining the Navy and 'Seeing the World', lol. I look forward to watching your channel in order and going along on your journey. Thank you for bringing back so many memories! Sometimes I swear my Dad is sitting right here with me as I watch!

    It appears you have planned this thoroughly, confident you will be set by fall. I hope you are going to buy a huge propane tank, it can last months and makes life easier. I mounted my solar vertical only cleaned the snow once it covered the bottom. Vids if you need a cheap solar mount. Good luck.

    • @AlaskanFreedom
      @AlaskanFreedom  7 місяців тому +1

      We'll be researching the solar part later on, thanks for the tips. We plan to use 5 gallon propane tanks during the build, but once we're done then a 300 gallon tank goes in.

    Our Alaska keyed me onto your channel. The only advice I have is more of a preference I think, but instead of the documentary style where you speak over what you are doing with background music, try just talking in the video. This way has more of a feel of being there with you. Just my thoughts 🙂

    • @AlaskanFreedom
      @AlaskanFreedom  6 місяців тому

      Thank you for checking out our channel. We watch a lot of other homestead and off-grid channels and I do agree that the talking to the camera style is more entertaining and gives a more personal connection. But it's more work and requires a lot more thinking ahead. We are just doing what's easy and comfortable for us, even if it means less UA-cam success. Maybe someday we'll get better and more comfortable and try it. We really appreciate your input, Richard. Have a great day.
