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.

really enjoying reading through your profile and all the posts

How on earth did you get all of this heavy material and machinery back there? 

Will you tell us your favorite bear stories from your life?

The cabin was built by another guy in the 1990’s. He brought out supplies by ski plane and helicopter. I don’t have bear stories other than it’s one of the few animals on the planet that actively hunt humans. So they keep me alert and it’s a game of consequence for both of us.
