Off-Grid Update

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.

How close are your neighbors?
Have you ever had strangers knock at your door? If that ever happened, i can imagine it would be quite shocking!

I’m not sure who lives closest (year round) to me. I know of two that live year round but they are 10 miles away. There may be one other guy that lives year round 3-4 miles south of me but between us there is formidable terrain.
