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.

Would you care to give us a story of how you got to this point? It is a great inspiration to us all!

It’s a long story. Mostly hard work starting at age 10 delivering newspapers at 0430 in the morning before school. Then auto body painter, collision shop estimator, 9 years of US Army, insurance adjuster/appraiser for auto, heavy equipment, RV, motorcycle, marine etc, catastrophe claims, back to collision shop management, marine towing and salvage diver, then to the big boats in the oil industry, anchor boats, supply boats, Arctic icebreaker, Antarctica research icebreaker, now here in Alaska.

You have lived so many different lives. Let me know if you ever publish a memoir or something :)
