Who are the "Mitchells In Alaska?" Retired brothers, Tony & Perry, as well as Perry's wife Carolyn and their son Tyler and his wife Ginny + 4 dogs and 2 cats.
What are we doing? We are building an off-grid homestead in the Alaskan wilderness that consists of three cabins. We will clear land, saw our own lumber from trees we cut, and build cabins and outbuildings. We have already built a couple of our outhouses and an outdoor shower, etc.
Currently, we're all sharing one tiny cabin while clearing land and milling logs to build 2 more cabins, gardens etc. It's an adventure most would not even attempt & most think we are crazy for doing. An experience of a lifetime & the biggest adventure we've been on. We're learning many new things along the way as well as applying the skills we already have.
Come along on this adventure with us & laugh at our goofs. Connect with us on Facebook at facebook.com/MitchellsInAlaska/ Offgridmia@gmail.com
That all the installation you guys use out there is that bubble wrap stuff is it that good🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
@@NORMANMORRISON1940 the generator sheds are not going to be heated. The generator running will be the only heat. The little Chinese diesel heaters will only be used on the low negative temperature times to just warm the space to make it easier to start the generators.
You guys have been really busy since you moved in. I can't believe all you have done, what a difference from the beginning. I'm trying to imagine how much gravel you all put down. Thanks for sharing.
WOW! I knew you Mitchell men had been busy this summer. Winter will certainly be easier for y'all with the generator sheds, new shelter logistics, gravel and other upgrades. However, you have more area to keep snow cleared from. Love the new part of the trail from behind your carport. More trail fun for the snow machines. With all the new clearing and plan for the trail cameras, I'm looking forward to seeing more wildlife videos this winter! Kudos Tony, Perry and Tyler! Y'all are a mighty force!
Wow! Your property is huge! Nice aesthetics, I especially like the boardwalk idea between buildings…much easier to navigate on level surfaces. Now you can cozy in for the winter and rest up!
Wow. You guys have been busy and your property looks great. I still remember the day you travelled north and arrived at your new property…. Seems like yesterday. Love and hugs from South Africa 🇿🇦
Wow I didn’t realize it’s been 4 years. The whole complex looks fantastic. When you’re good people other good people will reciprocate. Nice use of the dozer should bring in more wildlife with all the new growth. Impressive homestead. Thanks for the video update tour!!
YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN BUSYYYYYY. THE PROPERTY LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. DON'T THINK YOU GUYS SLEEP. No kidding, your property looks great and more importantly, you have increased the value. THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE, I ENJOY ALL YOUR VIDEOS‼️👍👍 Vinny 🇺🇸
Thanks for the video, Tony. Your Homestead is really coming along great. You guys are by far one of my favorite Alaska channels that I follow. Please show a video in the winter time how your generators are doing in the sheds. I’m really curious to see how that works out for you.
WOW the place looks so good. So much done in 4yrs. Neat and organised. Love the new trail. Would be good walking trail in winter and snow machine ride. What a blessing to have a good neighbour. Thanks for the update Tony. Was wondering how you all were doing. 🇦🇺 fan
Tony, Wondering what your water usage is per day? I going to be moving into an off-grid cabin hopefully in early October next door to my daughter. Very similar to what you have. I like your setup a lot. 12volt pump versus 110 that Tyler has? Was just going to wire my cabin DC. How much do you use 110? Planning on propane appliances ( refrigerator, stove, hot water heater “just like yours “, monitor heater “like guest cabin “). I have enjoyed going back through your old videos. Just had knee replacement surgery so I have some time, lol.
@@RonHight-un8uk I use roughly 50 gallons a week. That includes showers a one load of laundry a week. Not a fan of propane refrigerator here due to the cost of propane. Mine used about a 30# bottle a month which is about $30. I have 6 420 amp batteries to make a 12 volt system. I have an electric refrigerator, freezer, washer and gas dryer. I have a 2000 watt Renogy inverter/charger
Tony, Just built a 12’by20’ cabin . The end of the month my brother is coming up and we’re adding a 6’by10’showerhouse and a 6’by10’coversd porch. It’s going to be my primary residence. You’ve given me a lot of good ideas. I’m off-grid and 57 years old. Wished I could talk to you in person, have lots of of questions, lol. Love the 3 different setups. I take ideas from each one. Thanks for sharing!
What problems did you have that called for another hole be dug. My family and I are getting closer to moving up and have found a piece of property not far from Wal mikes
Tony, I remember seeing these videos a couple of years ago and glad I could go back and watch them again. I just built an off-grid cabin in Northern New York in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains. Have no idea what I’m doing, so really glad I could go back and watch all three set ups. My needs are a lot closer to what you have. Thank you for the information Tony, much appreciated! Have a great day!
The scenery in Alaska never disappoints. It's so beautiful. Although I've never been to Valdez (yet 🙃), it reminds me of Whittier, as both are small harbor towns.
What size water tank do you drive with in order to fill that 55 gallon barrel and what pump do you use to transfer your water into cabin with? Any recommendations for -40 and lower mountain climate for water transfer, transport and storage please. Offgrid Mountain Momma Homesteader in tiny cabins.
@@dr.erinmclaughlin6709 we transport with a 200 gallon tank. I now have a 100 gallon tank in my cabin after putting the addition on the cabin last summer. We just use a pump from Vevor to transfer water. We now have our own well on the property so hauling distance is much shorter now. There are videos on all these updates. Thank you for watching
Hi! Could you please post links to those products for Amazon or where you bought them from? Also, can you please show more details or pics of how you shower in winter? Is it outside?
One half of a barrel split lengthwise about 3’ deep covered with about a foot of gravel under it and a foot over it. Never freezes. I also one like it that is for my shower and wash machine
I enjoy watching your videos anytime, but especially love watching them in this Missouri mid-August heat! Y'all have so much fun together, whether you are working or just calling it work!
