Hi Friends! I mention in this video that blackberries are not found in Alaska. This is not to say that you cannot grow them here, but they are not hardy to most of our grow zones and therefore will not establish as a perennial crop. With that being said, Alaska does have an arctic blackberry, Rubus arcticus. However, the growth habit is nothing like that of a traditional blackberry plant and the fruits are much smaller.
Good morning Annie, sorry I've been away. And haven't talked to you. You are looking well . I would love to go camping out in those woods, but 1st I would have to erect a very large chain link fence around the campgrounds. Anyway you have a Magnificent Marvelous Mother's Day. And stay safe. LOVES
I love watching your videos of your life in Alaska. But I nearly had an incontinence attack when Big Foot came out from behind the trees!! Thankfully we don't have them in England 😂🤣 Julie x
Minute 20:00 of the video your neighbor Bigfoot behind You My Lady 😁. As I can see in your videos your cabin is located in very beatiful place 😃! Thanks for chering part of your life and experience 🙂. Until next video stay safe and healthy 😃👋👋🇵🇦 🌲🌲
Great video alone. I love the bloopers 😂. Disbrupte! 😂. I saw that hairy man again! He will keep warm in the winter 😂. Hope to see more of your cooking videos! Take care always!
I have three Great Pyrenees that weigh 200 lbs each, they are breed for guard dogs, that fight off bear's, wolf's, lion's and most any other predators, they have a 700 lbs bite force, and are highly aggressive K-9's. Very loyal to their owners and Very protective of their owners, even from family members. I'll let you know when Kue and two socks have puppies.
I have 2 yorkshire terriers and a cat. They are a fierce pack together.. I dont let them out at night though, but they have fought off foxes and other smaller preditors here. 🤣
@@ibislifewe have a couple of Pyrenees and recently adopted a Boston terrier pug mix and he thinks he is just as big as they are. What he lacks in size he makes up in enthusiasm 😊
Hi Jack! When it comes time to get another puppy, Great Pyrenees are on the list, amongst a few others. I would like to have a large guard dog that is capable of defending against large predators. Thanks for keeping me in mind. 😉
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska I respect what you do and are doing, your % is in the very few for women who can handle the solitude, and work that comes with living a lifestyle as we do. I've always wanted to be in the Mountains, I came here eight years ago because of the opportunity at the time was one o couldn't pass up. I was able to buy the land with the very little income I get from my social security, the doctors stopped me from working 15 years ago; they, said if I want to keep walking, I should retire, so I did, and so I do what I must to survive out here, because I don't like towns and cities. It's not easy, and sometimes it puts me in bed for a few days, but I wouldn't change a thing. The pros far out weigh the cons, the only thing I would love better is to move to the wilderness of Alaska. If it be God's will, then so be it. He gave me this place, if He wants me in Alaska, He'll make it happen one way or another. I just have to have faith. I had to euthanize two rattlesnakes in just the last three days, I believe the rain we've been having has Removed all the old sent of animals, and they are following the sent in the air from our animals, and they come close to the buildings. Kue and Spike tangled with a porcupine, they are not happy, and they didn't like me afterwards when I pulled out the quills. Twosocks upchucked all over my bed, cost me $70.00 to go get laundry done so I can have bedding, I don't like sleeping in my overalls, I like my queen size bed. She also got bit by the rattlesnake, but i didn't realize it until I found the snake, and it had its tail bitten off. The vet says we can only hope she fights it off and recovers. I'm doing everything I can to make her comfortable, raw meat is then only thing she keeps down, so she is being spoiled with raw meat, and on top of that, she went into heat. She is still drinking water fore to five times a day, and lays down, plays just a little sometimes, and still wags her tail when I rub her belly. I have hope she will make it through. I pray that God's Angels watch over you, and keep you safe, and we'll blessed. Type at you soon, Jack.
I remember watching an earlier video with that wolf howling footage. I've done plenty of solo camping in the wilderness down here but the most nervous night I've ever had was in 2009. I was camping in Kootenay National Park in Canada and there was just myself and one other couple in the huge park campground. All night I lay in my tent listening to the wolves howling. I don't think I slept for more than 10 minutes at a time all night.
Hi Matt! When you’re in a tent… lol , branches breaking… rustling leaves and certainly wolves howling would get my nerves going! We have a very large abundance of Black bears and moose here in Maine… that’s enough for me!😅
Hi Alone! I LOVE watching your videos! Always beautiful scenery and the awesome wildlife you have there in Alaska! And always informative! Give Kenai a nice belly rub for me!🐕😊Take care… and be careful when you are out on your land! 🙏(as I know, you always are👍)
Boy did I learn a lot about animals in your video. No snakes in Alaska!!!!!! I’m packing my bags right now and I’m heading to Alaska 🤣. Thank you so much for taking time to explain about the different animals in Alaska. 🤗💕
Oh my goodness Bigfoot keeps showing up in your videos!! I wonder if he plans on being the star in your videos someday. lol. Your view is gorgeous and your property is too!! Love it all. Hugs and kisses to sweet Kenai. Take care and God Bless you and Kenai always
Loving a episode all about animals. I would really love having that possibility. . Looking forward to seeing any captures from your cameras. Did you mention beavers?
Nature at it's best. Most of the animals you mentioned that don't live in Alaska, we have here in Costa Rica. I've had Pumas, jaguars, kinkapoos, in my yard and of course monkies everywhere. Snakes and crocs abound, dangerous and deadly, and all protected. The Fer de Lance just recently killed a friend's 7yo daughter when their house flooded. We rarely have animal attacks except for the snake and croc. Most animals are used to people and just ignore them. I am glad you are armed and can protect yourself. But this abundance of wildlife is one reason why we move to places like Alaska and Costa Rica. True adventure. Thanks for a very informative vlog. I feel more educated about the 49th state now. Give Kenai a big hug. And yes looking forward to some cooking videos.
Nice video informative on what animals are and are not in Alaska. Years ago I had a Linx for a pet he was beautiful. I see Mr. Big- a- foot is still around 😅. Hugs to Kenai . Blessings to you and your family. 😊🇺🇲
I’m looking forward to seeing what you capture on your game cameras. Additionally, I think it will be interesting to see what plants thrive in your backyard. I would guess the first generation will be composed a lot of Fireweed. In the fall, that will be beautiful.
I am so happy, I can across your video. Wow, what an educational video this is. It is fantastic of every thing you describes even to the little mice. I also see you don't have snow anymore. Is this normal? You should writes some books and videos about Alaska and sell them. I love everything you have shown and talked about. Thank you so much. Please take care and stay save❤❤
Hi. We just bought 70 acres and we are fixing up the house to move permanently too by winter. Same as your property, no one has lived on it for upwards of ten years. The property also has lots of river fro take so there is tons of wildlife on it. So far by working out there over the last month we have seen deer moose bear coyotes beaver and wolf. We never get tired of seeing the wildlife. Anyways enough of me,,,,great video. I always enjoy seeing your videos, 🌷🇨🇦
Hey love. Found your channel. Watching an older video of yours. three years ago wife and I sold our house in Washington state and bought a farm in Missouri. She’s there now I’m back in Washington state working and I drop the bomb to her after this project. I’m headed to Alaska. I love the fact statement you made one of your old videos I don’t wanna die in a nursing home a hospital or anywhere else and I go back up there to live out the rest of my life being I’m getting older. So I’m soon going to be hunting for a chunk of land and a cabin up there and I’m learning from you what to look for. Keep up the good work !!!❤
Love it, I’m from Maine and moved to texas, now home sick,being half native we moose hunt deer hunt, and anything wild we grew up on,I did run into Bigfoot once, the native name is gwackoo it means one who eats a lot, never believed in it growing up, thought it was just a boogie man to control us little Indians, lol boy did I get a suprise at 16 years old, I believe now, at 6 foot 7 inches and 300 pounds, I felt so tiny standing in from of it, I was to scared to move, all I could say was a kinda grunt, lol it looked at me for about one minute, wasn’t threatening in anyway, and turned and just walked away, now at 65 years old, I still wish I could have tried talking to it, never see it again, but saw tracks many years later while snowmobiling, but that’s it, I don’t think it would hurt anyone, but wild animals can’t be trusted, thanks for your awesome videos ❤
Thank you for pronouncing Coyotes correctly. Born & raised in AZ, I'm all to familiar with them. New subscriber as of today, & binge watching. I've mentioned this in comments on other videos, but l don't know how far you go back & read comments. God speed. ☦️ Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister ☦️ 🙏🏻
Hi Alone! Great to see your video uploaded, even with all the internet issues you were having. Friday night, perfect timing! Really enjoyed watching you out and about on your property. As we hear you say no blackberries, and read what you wrote in the comments, we were surprised to hear that. We have a five plus acre field full of blackberries. We would miss harvesting them evey year. Free fruit! Nice to see one wildlife surprise in your video again! He surely gets around! LOL Another great video. See you on the next one!
Hi Paula and Jason! Congratulations on your first 600 subscribers! That is awesome! Yes, I was disappointed to find learn that common blackberries and even hops do not grow wild in Alaska. These are two of my favorite plants. I may just try planting some in pots and see if I can get them to overwinter. Not sure how I would be able to make that happen, but maybe I will find a way. 🤗🐺💗
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska TY so much! Jason and I are so excited watching our channel grow. We were thinking you could grow them outside, then bring them into your basement for the winter. It's worth a try. They may even survive as a house plant. LOL We will dig some up, bring them in our sunroom and do a test run! Keep you posted. If there's a will there's a way! Hope you have a Happy Mothers Day!

On those hills, flowers will not hold soil. I don't know why you took away the native vegetation, but you have an uphill battle because those bushes and trees will not be absorbing all that moisture.
Enjoyed all the info on the animals! Skunks are no loss…!!😂 You are very brave… I’m afraid I may have slept in the car if I knew wolves were outside my cabin!!!
I can attest that Alaska is a very friendly state. I live in the South and I think Alaska is the only state “up north” that compares. Definitely looking forward to retirement near Wasilla in a few years (I didn’t know porcupines climbed trees either until a few months ago).
Oh I have to tell you, this morning some driver took out a power pole and knocked out power for the entire valley. I didn't notice because I never lost power, it's great not living on the grid. 😃😎😇
Porkys cli.b trees everywhere, didn't know Alaska had them, th even are cougars in AL as ka but there limited to I think more coastal areas, Fred Rhual knows the areas.
Very good to see you always good videos you're lucky to have all about wet mud I'm putting sprinklers on my roof it's already way too dry going to have a lot of wildfires Fires here this year not looking forward to it I'm already having to put up shears over my garden tomorrow cause it's way too hot for the garden right now already going to be a very scary year now looking forward to this summer
Do'nt worry about Adders, flower. They, like all "wild" animals despise "humans", and give us a wide berth. We've had 'em here in Albion for millenia, and there's a handful of recorded "death by snake bite"
we do have mountain lions up here in alaska even down here on the kenai peninsula! i know this for a fact, i have seen photo`s taken here on the peninsula of one and another of a mother lion and a cub, photo taken not more than 12 miles from my place.
Little known fact about Swans In England. It's a tradition going back centuries in the Royal Family - but it's something most of us don't actually understand. That's right, Crown does actually own all the swans in England. Oh, and a bunch of other animals too.
Hi JR! Yes, I had heard that before, but it is still very interesting. Another viewer asked if people eat swans, which I had never given any thought to before today. As it turns out the reason the Royal family owns all the swans in England is that King Henry III loved eating swan and eventually this law was put into place so that the commonwealth could not feast like a king. Who knew??? 😳 🤗🐺💗
I did something the same as you do in planting wildfires pollinators all over my lot front yard side yards covered in White Clover Crimson Clover got Timothy grass coming up and I planted regular grass and once it's growing up I would be letting the chickens in it for half an hour every night before dark so they can't tear it up again and it will feed them I also put my old steel bathtub in the backyard filled it up with logs wood and soil then I put the same in the bathtub and I put wire over top of the bathtub so they can't rip it all out they can only eat what gets up high give them a little bit of greens in the backyard too yummy happy chickens good eggs
I heard Alaska also doesn't have snakes. Is that true? I live in Arizona and we could send some of ours up there. I do know that Hawaii doesn't not have snakes.... I don't understand a tropical paradise that doesn't have snakes.
Hi D! I mentioned the absence of snakes at 17:52 in the video. 😉 It is illegal to bring snakes into Hawaii and for whatever reason none have ever made their way their naturally. I am just glad we don't have them here! 😁
Hi XX! I am not sure about this. I did look into this and the only thing I found was an April Fool's post made by Togiak Refuge. But it must have been a good joke as many people fell for it. 😉
