Living on a remote Alaska off grid island 

10:58 they get to island

Yay for getting 4wheeler back on the job! I hope that you guys got the same sun and blue sky that we had today ☀️ First time that my toes have seen daylight since last summer 🦶🦶

Sounds like fun. And challenging

Good to see that the beast is back at the homestead and part of your transport fleet. Nice boots!

Great video Brian. I always thought having a landing craft would be amazing for what you’re doing. Gas prices are going to make life a little more difficult for all of us. Take care.

To be honest I didn’t think Capt’n Funk’s boat would be that fast! Wauw! Glad to have the 4-wheeler back on the island.

I just happened upon this video this morning, and it brings back such wonderful memories. My family and I lived on Sisters Island for several years, which no doubt is near you…the background scenes look very familiar. I’m 73 now, and can honestly say those were the best day of my life. Thanks for prompting my memories!

The island looks alot smaller from above. You and Diana have handling the boat downpat smooth. How much has the gas price of going into town gone up for you ? Have a great week. Thanks for sharing.

just had the 4 wheeler worked on and they did not fix the left brake light

You got the world's longest ramp, oh my gosh great backing up job.

Just found your channel subbed gotta binge watch now stay safe.

That was a great video you guys. Have a wonderful week..!!

Just another transplant to AK. Hilarious!

You can never "pull out too quickly".

I would never make it in Alaska I leave my groceries that won’t spoil in my truck until I really need them that’s how much I hate grocery shopping and unloading it you guys have to do so much work to get the things you need Gotta give you credit you love where you live

freaking awesome content!

Great video, good music most important part of my comment.

When and for how long does the water freeze over if ever. I am from Southern California I know nothing of these things in regards to Alaska and seasonal ports. I know Russia has a port in Vladivostok, I believe which waters freeze and it is not operational year round.

Im from brazil

Hello from Pakistan

Is that Colt Island?

I take it you have starlink for internet.

Great video I have one question though did you folks ever consider a wind turbine to generate electricity Since you get a lot of wind there

great vids just found them. Q- how much tidal variance do you get in the little cove where you leave the boat in. Also very interested in that mooring method, any chance of sharing that

Hey. Brother where in Alaska. Are you

nice

Time to get a dock?

How much do it cost to have stuff delivered to the island ?

How do you make money out there!? Pay for fuel, and things like that? You have a video about this?..!?

How much of the island do you own

Wow! Longest boat launch ramp I've seen. Most people I've seen would never be able to back up straight that far!

Although the solitude is nice, one also has to think about medical needs/emergencies. I know. I know. YOLO. But why shorten it if you don’t have to? You can die from something as simple as a ruptured gall bladder, heart attack, stroke, or even just an infected tooth.

Que hermoso trabajo y tienen a los mejores compañeros,esos peluditos q se ve que los quieren mucho,sigan positivos,Dios los guarde y espero ver pronto lo que hacen con las plantaciones,abrazos😊😊😊

Could watch you “two” all day! Great music🎵 selection! Two hard workin ppl to live as you do. Keep safe and happy spring 🌺 🌸😁

Is the island high enough to handle an 80-90 foot wave??? Many years ago I remember either an earthquake or high waves that destroyed some islands in Alaska.

I begged to get stationed in Alaska when I was in the Army. Now im in my early 50s and retired and still want to live in Alaska. People call this a subsistence lifestyle, but I still see a lifestyle needing a lot of money to live there! I'm not sure if my little retirement of 5k a month would allow me to move out there and live on. I've been looking at land in the southern part of Alaska lately, and it's not priced too badly for 50 - 100 acers on a few different remote lakes, but it says "can be accessed by plane or snowmobile" in the ad. How do you get everything you own out to a 150 acer plot of land on a nice lake to build anything on if the only way in or out is an hour and a half snowmobile ride? I have so many questions!

I'm always happy to see your new videos. Funny thing... it makes me feel homesick even though I live in Alaska. It's just that I used to live in Juneau but am now stuck between the mountains up by Matanuska glacier (sigh?) We're still knee-deep in old snow right now. I'd like to smell the ocean sometimes I guess. Can't wait for your next adventure posted... love you guys :)

How'd you find a remote place like this!?

My biggest question is where do you leave your truck when you are going home, do you pay for a parking spot at the marina

You guys in North America are pretty funny, if you have a 10 foot dingy you are a CAPTAIN lol. i am pretty sure not a single youtuber in north america has an actual captains education. Still everyone and they great grandma are a captain. You guys most have like a 50 step ladder for captain's education over there.

Your wife’s boots in the UK would be called “Welles”! That’s because used to go proud of the second world war they were called wellingtons and the name was shortened. They do look like they the hold up to the job.

This old Boy Thinks Its Cool. And Will Be Looking . :)

Is this Auke Bay. 45+ years fades the memory. Coghlan Island is a key.

I will find a way to move up there one day, I swear it

Everybody knows that you back a vehicle onto a landing craft so that when it hits the beach you can drive the vehicle off and go for it.

Lots of beauty in this world, but what could be more dramatic and majestic than mountains, glaciers, forests, and ocean all combined together. I envy those that live in SE Alaska. Been to visit my children in Haines twice. Just plain heavenly. ❤

Where you located...I saw you pull the boat out the water. Is it freshwater or saltwater there?

You all must be relatively wealthy to have that lifestyle. Lots of expensive equipment and high cost of living there.

Hi Brian and Diana. I watched this video on Sunday but remembered that beautiful drone footage of the island with the mountains in the back ground. OMG what a sight. Needed that lift today. Thank you and stay well. God bless you guys. Take care❤️

My first video. I can not thank you enough for having an American Truck.

You still get to go jeepin..😂 So nice to have that on the island. Back ups for back ups right.👊

Looking at your view of the snow capped mountains is breath taking!! Excellent video!

You have a habit of turning a shopping trip into an Odyssey Brian. You know that don't you...

All fixed up and rolling again. Would be cool to have a boat like the captain has. Beach and unload. Bet his boat is pricey. Cool boots and waders. Makes sense to park where you do. Stay safe my friends!

Verry good

Can you share what wildlife you encounter ?

Hello from a fellow Juneauite Homesteader on ND, It's always fun watching your videos of your adventure on Shelter! 🙂

Hi Brian and Diana. Good to see you today. That drone footage of the island was beautiful. You are lucky to live there. Your videos are one of m6 favorites. Keep them coming. I see you brought gas with you on this trip hope the prices weren’t too bad for you. You all take care. Good less you guys❤️🙏

Howdy Brian, Diana!! Man, the pups are growing like crazy!!! Well, it's finally scheduled (if nothing happens to force a change of plans... like 90+ year old parents passing...). I plan on leaving south Texas on May 29 or 30th, and moving up to the property on the Kenai Peninsula near Ninilchik. I know, right... it's been a long time planning to get to this point. Now comes the real challenge... sifting, sorting, getting rid of everything that is not going (which is a lot). I'll be driving the truck, pulling a trailer with my motorcycle, new CF Moto 4-wheeler, and the truck has a topper on the back so that's where the 4 dogs will be riding. I'm guesstimating 10-12 days for the drive... maybe less if I find someone to ride along and help with the dogs, so I should be there by June 10th at the latest. I seem to remember that y'all went to fish the Kenai area once a year??? If you do come that way, let me know!! It would be awesome to meet up! I don't know if you follow "Sean In Alaska" or not, but he and I have developed a good friendship. He's wanting me to give him BRISKET lessons... so probably sometime in July or August we'll do that. Don't try to tell me that you don't miss good old Texas Brisket??? lol... We will probably do a joint video when we do the brisket. So keep that in the back of your mind should you happen to venture towards the Peninsula this summer. Those new boots and waders look really nice!! A couple of friends of mine from the channel "Wood and Waters Outdoors" just got a pair of those as well. I may have to seriously consider them. Take care guys!! Bill

What beautiful videography! Absolutely breath-taking scenery! Love this video!

Looks like a very good life.

Do you have alot of bears on your island.

Boots are really priced well

Very cool. New subscriber rang the bell and thumbs up. Very glad I stumbled upon this. Thank you very much and stay safe. From millet Alberta.

Thanks for the great video Brian and Diana, I really am happy that you got the Honda back, my favorite brand of powersports hands down. I see that your snow is gone, we still have about 2 feet, it was melting but them we received a 0 ish fahrenheit cold spell, so I haven't a clue when the whitestuff will leave us. Please have a great and safe week You two!

What is the mountain at 17:55?

How do all these "off grid" people who supposedly have no jobs and no visible income own 4 wheelers, boats, snow mobiles, chainsaws, generators, Benali shotguns, etc., etc. I mean seriously, how do they do it?! A very very few might be independently wealthy through family but most are not. So how can they afford all these luxuries living "off grid"? Not just this video but mainly I'm talking about "Life Below Zero" AND these youtube videos.

Off grid 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you yanks are hilarious

Bravo B... your living it Brother! You guys should really do well with the garden this year. And all gears are churning. Keep it Burning Buddy!

Great video Brian and Diana

I’d give either of my beans to have a cabin with 3 bedrooms backed up to public hunting area. And a grocery store within 100miles. If that means I have to take a boat so be it. But I’ve struggle to pay for a $20k home the last 20yrs. Been trying to find something with $50k for a solid 10yrs now. I’ll be in my grave and never reach this goal. My state has always sucked.

We like real. Thanks

Alaska has so much beauty, specifically when equipment is alive, lol

People are so ingrossed in their lives that they can't see what they doing to everything around them. Yes it's neat, but loads of mountains are being taken town for that time that in that guys life and everyone that has a life like that. God I hope all that is going to be properly recycled and not just left ina huge junk pile somewhere.

How did COVID affect U?

I always thought of making a remote homestead where everything runs on Hydrogen.

If I moved back to Alaska it would be North Pole or Fairbanks. It was home. UAA&UAF alumni.

That's a lot of work loading and unloading. Glad the weather was good for you.

..how many acres/square miles is the island?..bears, wolves, cougars on it, or no?....

Another great video of your daily doin's.

Great video! Looks like spring might be on its way. Hi to all your awesome island friends. Have a great week.

I wouldn’t live their, who wants to stay cold forever

You can only drive 1 mph so it is good that you got a jeep so you dont have to walk.

I'm here ...just suscribed.

Merry Christmas Brian .

..as he starts his modern atv...such simple living..hahaha lmao we're fucked

Beautiful opening shots Brian , excellent backing up dude ,you rock !

Does the salt water hurt the dogs in any way? Do you have to rinse they off or anything like that.

Had that same wallpaper for years when building my house.

Live free! Love that! Your videos of your town runs are always interesting. You two are amazing! Curious...how much is fuel in your neck of the woods?

✌🏻👊

Great video Brian and Dianna! Looked like Juneau was pretty quiet that day! Shop closed? Must have been a Friday! 😉 Every time Raven or Skipper would whine, Kenai would look at my computer with his ears perked up and tilting his head 🤣 I am going to look into the boots! I need a pair for spring mud coming up soon. Nice 2.0 jeeping trail you got there back to the cabin! Always good to see everyone! Take care! 😁

If you use Forestry Forest Channel format, these videos may work.

Twelve minutes and you’re barely on the island. Nope. Hard no for me. SNORING. Thumbs down my friend. :(

for being off grid you sure got a lot of boats, vehicles, and brought over crap

Brian- Just wanted to say thanks for another great video! You guys are awesome and I love your videos! Glad you got the 4-wheeler home and all is well! Stay positive and know that we love you guys! Cheers big guy!

How much did the island cost & is there property tax in Ak?

I love it but who owns the island? If you don’t than you can be thrown off the island at anytime.🤷‍♂️

I like that boat, whats is called and how much do they go for there? I'm asking sbout the 1st boat the 4 wheeler went on.

Awesome video. The filming and editing are exceptional. Thank you
