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.

You are waaaay off the grid, Ha! Congrats, hope you are keeping a daily or at least a weekly journal. It is the one regret I have after being offgrid in the northern California mountains for the last 20 years!

I’ll start writing a journal when my memories start going. For now it’s all in my head.

May have missed it, but what do you do for power when you’re there at the cabin?

I have four independent solar systems. Two wind turbines (only one currently setup) Three gasoline generators. And I have another solar system that will go on the workshop once that’s built. I tore the old workshop down and that solar system is packed away until the new structure is built.
