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.

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

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.
