Helicopter Sling-load Deliveries | New Turbo SkiDoo | Wind Turbine Repair 

New subscriber here. I heard about your channel from Brian at An Alaska Homestead. You certainly have a beautiful place and a spectacular view. Just looking at the view gives you a peaceful easy feeling. Great video.

Scenery is always great to watch. Thanks for sharing - from Hells Canyon, Frank.

Hi Mountain Mariner Off-Grid Alaska I came to subscribe to your channel from Rushing Wind Mountain's chat, I look forward to watching your videos. I hope you have a nice day

What a sweet new ride. That thing will put you in the hospital if you don’t respect that power. It sounds really fast.

As always, beautiful environment and fun to watch video! As someone from the lower 48, southern state, I can only imagine living in such a cold climate! But it sure is Beautiful!

Your pulling pro has to have a special screwdriver too adjusted car braider. You have to pull the 2 tabs off of the car breaker and it's a special X star stipend on the screws that you can actually adjust it. To a proper way. I'm a saw mechanic guy and I'll be up in Alas. Good next Spring. I won't have a mobile small engine repairs going on

Fascinating! Love the new sled!! It should be so much better than that 600!

Wicked snow mobile! Congrats! We can't believe how clear it is where you reside. We can imagine looking up at the stars and breathing that cool, crisp air. You definitely pointed out that 'one is none' in your neck of the woods. Take care, good health to you & God Bless, Ed. 🇺🇸

Great to see you back. Nothing but respect for you sir. Living in a harsh but beautiful location. You're living the dream. Wishing you a successful year. 👍🙏

We hope that you got some rest. The cabin on the mountain is a 24/7 job. Ed please secure your steel-ice crowbar with a robe or so. I think a drill with a 5 millimeter under the handle is and through that a plastic robe some meters long or hang on the skidiDoo.. The facility manager trick with a cuff for the steel cable on the t ower: We take a round plastik or metall peace under that part and fix it with all weather silicon. Some silicons can handle heat and extrem cold and this fixing under that part makes sure that it can slide down. We also do it this way with rain pipes. The autobahn runway: Cant you borrow a professionell chainsaw from the shop and instale it on your skidiDoo on one side? One option is the STIHL HL 94 C-E a powerfull headge trimmer that can cut strong stuff it has a 150 cm long pole to strong joints. I thing this would clean alot of that stuff very fast and with no risk. Driving slow your way and cut down all that stuff.Better in winter because you see much more and the green stuff is not in the way..and in spring next round with the rest.. In Germany we do this kind of tree or bushwork where tainroads go or alpine gondolas are in the near of trees that can hit t he steel or electric lines. The hepicopter has a monster chainsaw- 150 centimeter round blade hanging on a steel cable and the fly beside the trainway and cut everything away. Frank from Germany

Glad to see ya! Congrats on the new sled! She sure is pretty! Take care and looking forward to the next one.

Great video watching your new sled coming in via helicopter. The clouds sure look amazing as you are moving around your mountain home. It's good your next trip home is a full break. You've certainly earned it! It's enjoyable watching you work with what you have to keep things working to ensure things run well. Again thank you for sharing your amazing mountain life with all of us.

WOW! That is one mean, sexy , looking snow machine! No windshield on this one? What a fantastic ride, I can smell the exhaust from here! My fondest memories are that of the years when I would take off on my old 64 Bombardier and head for the woods all day by myself. TOTAL FREEDOM! Thanks for the ride! Beautiful home you have there!

Great video!

Growing up in the North West Territories we saw the northern lights a lot. Watching your videos brings back memories. Love the new music too ☺️. 🇨🇦

Glad you posted so we all know you survived the preliminary break-in! That thing is a beast!! Enjoyed the ride. Take good care Ed. Thanks for bringing us along 😊

Thanks for sharing

Woo hoo! Here we go! Full comment after done watching...

excellent thank you

Good to see you back at the cabin. Nice upgrade to the fleet with the new snowmobile

Snowmobiles are super fun but I realize it's mostly a tool/necessity for you. Enjoy and be careful Ed.

Peaceful….

That's an AWESOME Snow Machine!! It feels like I'm on the Snow Machine when you are driving it....a Vicarious THRILL for me. Just don't want to get hit with the branches. I flinched each time you were going to hit one. LOL : )

You are so fortunate respect Mariner. What I know about helicopters is they are not cheap.

Awesome. Solitude = Peace.

Thanks for this video. I hope your month working goes with the speed of light 🙏🙏

I am just guessing here but don't those American ladders say NO STEP on the very top , gotta be careful out there Ed .Hello from Vancouver Island Canada .

Hi Ed, how are you? I hope you are doing well. This might sound weird, but even when the day seems gloomy, the views are spectacular. Lots of work always, but the peace and beauty of the wilderness is a wonderful payoff for the hard work. I'm glad you have a new snow mobile. Is good thing that you have a more reliable source to move around during winter. Be safe and thank you sharing these videos with us. I'll be waiting for the next one!

Two weeks really isn't enough time but hopefully you will get a full rotation next time. Try to take it easy. You have a new toy to come home to!

The new sled seems to float over the snow. Looks really snazzy. Thanks for explaining about the wind turbine. Hope it’s spinning like crazy for you. As always, thanks for the adventure and I hope you get some down time before you go back to work. Stay warm and take care.

I see you use the best snowmobile brand especially being in so far 👍

That is a great machine ! Have fun and stay safe !

Good to see you’re back and enjoying the new snowmobile 😊

Hope you will have a little more time at home to enjoy the new sled on your next days off. Looking forward to seeing what you have planned for the concrete!

Excellent Video... Keep up the good work

Great video, sweet bomber, have fun and stay safe my friend.

Welcome back! Love that footage on the sled. Cheers.

Hey Big ED Good to see you HappyNew Year to you and your family.

Sweet sled! I’m editing now. Video soon.

Us boys and our toys...😆😆 I think I saw 52 on the spedometer at one point. Nice machine Ed, I assume the Mayor approves of this new addtion to the Village Limits.

Awesome video. That sled looks sick, doesn’t take a lot of get up to speed with that.

Cool beans!

Beautiful place Ed... how do you ever leave???... I know a man has to work but, I'm not sure i could ever leave once I got to a place like that..

Slick looking sled!!!!! Do you eat any of the ptarmigan? Take care and enjoy that new ride.

Have you ever done the entire trail from town to your property and if so how long did it take? I imagine the first visit might have been that trail many years ago but could imagine a flight in for the first trip as well. I think it would be interesting to see a video talking about the decision to get the property and how many steps there were to build the cabin and everything. I am sure other people would be interested as well but I know that can be a rabbit hole story that could end up very hard to tell but I think it would be worth it even if it ended up a multi part series. Lol

How lucky you are with the wind turbine damage, did you climb that hill and park your 850r new rocket mobile on that top of the hill looks like it will be able to climb Mountains are you sure you are young enough for 90 mph I got a new SWT 900 Ace and it can scare you in the sport mode but it is smooth as silk out on the trail Good to see you out at the cabin again happy new year.

Have you ever done a ride back through to the trail to town.Awesome sled,enjoy every minute.Ours is still in the shed not enough snow. Hopefully get some soon,stay safe.

Woohoo! That new machine can boogie. You can tell it wants to fly!! I am wondering the same as everyone else - trip to town on the new machine in the future? I think you said it’s about 40 miles by snow machine? You’ll get there in half the time now. Lol. Wishing you safe travels to work and back.

What a great video. Loved seeing the perfect landings of your snow mobile and extra stuff! Hats off to the helicopter pilot. And your new snow mobile looks awesome!! Is it me, or do you have less snow so far this year as opposed to the previous year? Enjoy your new ride!!

Are you liking the new snowmachine? It looks super nice! Thanks for the video, Ed!

Hey Ed, I bet your new snowmachine is wondering wth is going on. I just get here and already you are putting me to work? lol. That was nice seeing your dinner running around up there, lol. What's for dinner tonight?

Great video footage the sled with the helicopter (nice sled congrats) how many days on the mountain Ed .enjoy your days take care 👍🏻🍻

Very Nice Ed. How was your extra time at work? Thanks for the ride. Carol

The new sled looks mean! That'll be fun to scoot around the mountain on. If you do put the turbine back up on the second pole, what about running a bolt through the pipe under the guy wire bracket so it sits on the bolt if it tries to slide?

I had an internet outage almost at the middle. Ugh. The trail ride was spectacular! I was thinking you were breaking a new trail on the one to town until you said that's what it was. Looks like you got a machine that can handle the job though. Again, spectacular video and thanks! Oh! Has there been wind since filming?

What does it cost for a sling load? Snow machine, food, or just a trip with you?

👍🏼✊🏼

Good to see you got your new sled safe and sound. how did the wind turbine work out?

how many miles would the ride to town be? i’m fixing to put two turbines in this summer. i always enjoy the info on the turbines and solar. even though i have all sorts of knowledge and experience with these things i love watching what others do. i always learn more.

Congratulations on the new sled . Darn thing looks like a wolf from the front. How many watts does the turbine put out on a good day ?

what kind of fish is in the lake?

Awesome machine! Do you ice fish there also?

Is it actually possible for you to ride a snow machine to town?

# DON'T LET THE BEARS CHEW UP THE SEATS : (

That's snowmobile starts at 18,000 I'm sure you paid more living in Alaska good for you. I don't know I watch a couple of channels of people who live off the grid. I have to say you're the only one who feels more isolated than secluded. I don't know how you can survive up here? Either you're a very unfriendly person or I don't know I don't know how anybody could live like this. I like my space I like my privacy I wouldn't mind being secluded but the sheer isolation while you're swinging chainsaws without any protective covering and riding snowmobiles without any helmets or goggles as branches are slap in your face. No I don't think that's for me. But good for you.

👍🇨🇦😎❄🛠💫👌🎵
