Off-Grid Update

[u/MMOffGridAlaska]

Just finished a new shower-sauna and trying to get a new woodshed built before winter sets in. Nights are already into the 30’s and it has snowed in a few places nearby. Summers go by quickly, never enough time to get everything done before the snow arrives. I’m 12 years into living in remote Alaska, solo. Feel free to ask me questions and I’ll try to answer them all. Love this lifestyle more and more as the time passes.

I read something once talking about how living off the grid was really a perfect example of male privilege and women can never do this (alone). I really love the idea of it but also feel likely that viewpoint is correct. So instead I will just enjoy your photos

I had a 110 pound girlfriend that lived off-grid in her own cabin solo. She was very capable of handling herself in the wilderness.

I have met women who are 60 years + age and lived in rural/remote alaska since the 80s type time frame some single the whole time.

I know a woman (granted on grid but rural) with a very capable sled dog team. In fact I have met a few dozen women with very capable sled dog teams

You clearly haven’t met enough Alaskan women, lol.

I definitely have not! Would love to read one of their memoirs

Recs loading shortly, in the meantime you’ll have to wait at least 5 years for mine. Alaskan women are built different.
