Deep Winter Off-Grid Alaska Cabin Expedition 

Amen man.

The RU-vid algorithm gods brought me to this channel. Folks don't know what they're missing

Ah yes, ak, kalashnikov, my favorite firearm

I’ve also been living in Alaska for 14 years from birth to now 😅

That’s cool of you.

Thank you Mark. I really appreciate that

Your welcome I’m glad I came across your guys channel. I enjoy watching a lot of other stuff but. Your guys stuff has a lot more to it.

It's not much different from buying a house. For me : I found a property I liked; wrote down the MLS info and any additional info about it including the realtor person (and the company the realtor was with) who was representing the seller; went to another realtor company (usually best practice to *_not_* use the same realtor company as the seller); handed them the info and told them, "I want this." After that, your realtor will ask you to give them an _earnest deposit_ (usually a check for something like 2 to 3K dollars that shows that you are "earnest"-ie., you are being serious about your intentions-that will later be taken out of the sale price-ie., you get it "back" by not having to pay that much money from whatever the sell price is; if you don't end up buying it after all for legit reasons, you get the money back directly). After that, your realtor contacts the seller's realtor, and negotiations begin. You get to look at the property, find out any details about it, if there are any easements on it, etc. For land, usually a surveyor will go out to the property to check and mark the boundaries (usually at the seller's expense). You will give them an offer (often you will offer slightly less than asking price, but nothing insulting) and the seller will usually give a counter offer (unless you just agree to what they are asking from the start). Usually it is good to accept the counter-offer (your realtor will give you advice on all this, and do the direct negations for you on your directions). If you are offering paying in full, when it comes to signing over the land into your name, you hand them the check. If you are doing some kind of loan with the bank-I'm not sure on the details, but I think your realtor can help you out on that. Once the paperwork is signed, it has to be registered with the county (the title company doing the signing process with you will do this automatically). Generally, your realtor will guide you through each step and work with you to get your land. After signing, you own land (if it was still 1790s United States, you also would finally be allowed to vote-non-land owners wouldn't get that right for a few decades). You will get a notice in the mail from the county about the registration, probably a short survey, and they will inform you about when you will need to pay property tax for the next year. Prices for land can vary a lot. It can be 500-1000$/acre for some properties, 10s or even 100s of K $/acre for others, so search well. I would say avoid properties overrun by scraggly black spruce trees (usually a sign of boggy ground). Properties with birch and aspen are likely good. When you are first searching for a property you like, use Google Maps set to satellite view to get a better idea of what the property is like.

Thanks for watching! That would be awesome. We’ve thought about the sherp before, but theirs a fast flowing river crossing to do which I’m not sure the sherp could handle. Shoot us an email if you want to talk more about it. 👍🏼

I live in VA, and they were just here 2 weeks ago, except I didn't know until the day after. Some people got amazing pictures and it's a bucket list for me, I can't believe I didn't know

that kind of behavior is pretty common here among friends. Maybe not strangers, but anybody you know pretty well that kind of stuff happens.

My heritage is Czech which is pretty funny you commented that. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the wonderful comment! Yeah I definitely agree we needed a better lighting set up. Sean and Cody were sad they couldn’t come too. Work and RU-vid are hard to balance. Thanks for always watching the videos! We appreciate that

@@Deadmen. You are welcome 👍☠😁

I get the feeling that these guys are there to relax and decompress from their service days. Sharing and camaraderie. Not mental paranoia and turmoil.

Thanks Jake!

PS I don't think that's stove is big enough.

The floors where they’re loosing heat. That many gaps need to be filled. The roof with that snow blanket is well insulated. The walls look to be holding well.

Us too.

Good eye. Thank you for your comment . I’m trying to learn more about filming each time I post a video. I kept the camera on auto for everything so I wouldn’t be taking too long messing with anything out in the cold. The grain you’re seeing is the film convert nitrate program I add for a subtle “cinematic” look. I actually wasn’t planning on using it for this video cause I’m not sure if I’m sold on the look. However I filmed it all on the GoPro in 1080p to save battery and space on the camera and it turned out a lot worse than I thought it would. So I had to add the grainy film to somewhat clean up the look. 4k all the way next time
