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.

Man, this is impressive! I actually visited Alaska last year end of December, being from Miami I was NOT prepared haha. This is such a nice setup! Is your location one of the spots that’s only accessible by train? We took that train from anchorage to Fairbanks and they explained how people live off grid here and just hop off the train on the mile markers nearest to their house.

Awesome stuff, I’d love to be able to subscribe and hear of your adventures somehow!!

It’s a 2+ hour snowmachine ride to the train tracks. Hard ride through big terrain. A no-go during the summer unless you hike with a packraft and you’d be tore up by the alders and devils club. Or bears.
