Living off grid in Alaska part of the way we get our food is through fishing and crabbing. It’s time to drop the crab pots and see what we can pull up.

We are building a cabin in southeast Alaska. It’s an off grid cabin on an island near Juneau. We are towards making a homestead out here and becoming more sustainable through frugal living, hunting, fishing and gardening. Alaska homesteading is more than just words is a way of life. So if you are interested in moving to Alaska or the off grid life click the subscribe button and join us here at My Alaska Dream, where we show what it's like homesteading for beginners.
Living in Alaska is great, come with us and enjoy the experience.

@wcolautti 2 года назад

I understand but for me it’s the opposite - the older I get the more I miss the dry cold of Northern Alberta. I live in Southern Ontario and the dampness is a killer. I don’t actually know if Alaska is a dry cold or damp. I guess that would make the difference.

I was born in Alaska but was moved when very small. I do not have much memory of it. I think of maybe going back someday. I wrote a mostly fictional book (Weak Love and Strong Love) that had a Russian tsar as a character. After choosing him as a character for the book, I read somewhere that in reality he was the tsar that sold Alaska to America. I was very pleased and found it significant I had picked him for the book and then found out he had been the one to sell the state I was born in to America.

If you put all your household waste into a net tied to a long rope with a marker at the other end drop that into the water at the same place every time you can attract crabs and fish to the same spot then set your traps, just have a go and see, you might be surprised at the results, fish and crabs always go to places they know where food is, just the same as us 😁👍
