It looks as though we started living Off-Grid about the same time. I moved up from the west side of the Denver area & spent my first night here on Aug. 3, '21. You passed within 9 mi of my place on your way up to Baggs, WY. If I need something from the store sometime from around Dec.- late May I have to snowmobile out 8 mi to where I park my truck & then 25 miles to town & then back home the same way. I have Solar & a couple of backup gens. I do have a shallow well on my land. I have to bring it 200 yrds to the Cabin which makes it relatively convenient. I use snow water in the winter for utility water. I live in an Aspen Wooded area of which my 'compound' has been carved out. The Cabin is a 1978 model that folks used seasonally & didn't really put much effort into maintaining. That's a challenge! I can stick pipe together but I'm not a carpenter so I've got a lot to learn. Anyway, You are very inspirational & I like your approach to living the way we do. Talk to you later...

@woollyrhinoadventures1654 2 года назад

I think two of the hardest parts of making the move is trying to decide what not to bring and what to do with the things you are not bringing. Your video really helps with the first part of that decision-making. I struggle with the second part. I can't just store stuff I don't use now forever. For example, all the plaques, certificates, and awards, that used to cover my "I love me" wall in the office. I'll never need to display them again, but I find it hard to even think about throwing them away.

@AloneinRemoteAlaska 2 года назад

I had similar "I love me" stuff as well. All my arts and crafts stuff I made and was so proud of. I gave it all away and it was kind of hard but liberating. I think with plaques and certificates, you could take some good pictures of them maybe? I noticed now that as hard as it was to give away or throw things away at the time, I don't even think twice about it now. No idea what those mean to you but you will still need things to hang on the wall of your cabin too you know! You have that entire loft you could completely cover! :-)

@mimiashford5544 2 года назад

I went through the same thing when my boys were grown & knew they wouldn't want all the little art projects, love notes, crafts, report cards, awards, etc that I gathered from them through the years so I decided to photograph everything and put it in digital format for them to have later if they ever want to 'stroll down memory lane" and threw everything out. It was a good way to free up space but not totally get rid of those precious memories. I DID save the sports equipment for them for their own children as well as few irreplaceable mementos (first blanket, first shoes... and made sure everything fit into one of those plastic bins w/covers. I taped their names to them & they are available when they want them. :) I'm currently doing the same digitizing of ALL the family photo albums (there are dozens) to de-clutter and free up space as well. Technology CAN help us in some ways....

@comfortouch 2 года назад

My certificates and awards I laminated and put them in the filing cabinet. I also took quality photos (of everything important, including insurance papers, mortgage, titles for car and home, passport and ID's etc) in case of fire.

@larryag99 2 года назад

Having recently moved several states away, I would recommend being very careful what you sell off to move. Selling off durable goods, like tools, cookware, quality clothing, etc simply because you don't have room to take it with you, in my opinion is a waste of valuable money. If you sell something at 50% (or more) over what it would cost to replace, you are wasting funds you could use elsewhere. Yes, it may cost you money to rent a trailer or truck, but that will be FAR less than replacement costs. I only sold off the things I no longer wanted, hadn't used in years, and saw no need for those things in my new location. I bought my own cargo trailer, packed it up myself at my pace, then rented a storage unit near where I moved to store the things I would not need immediately. Again, these were things I knew I would need at the new location (at some point), and they would be expensive to repurchase. Also keep in mind, if it was a quality item when you originally purchased the item, it will be unlikely you will be able to purchase the same quality today (i.e. they don't make it like they used to). After setting up for my immediate needs at the new location, I then bought (and built) some additional storage buildings to move the stuff out of the rental unit. I spent a little extra money moving the items, and to temporarily store them off-site, but that gave me some breathing room to decide how I wanted to set up the new place the way I wanted it, having spent some time there. As it turned out, things at the new location were much different than I originally thought. Plan for your plans to change... because they most likely will.

@AloneinRemoteAlaska 2 года назад

I think the biggest "lie" that is told about moving to Alaska is to get rid of everything because it costs so much to move up here. And that's true but wow everything is so expensive up here and your choices are not as great. I only packed what I would need to literally survive a winter. When my son comes up with a Uhaul with all my stuff it will be a lot of stuff. I kept ALL my tools and thankfully some dressers. And I cant find an open top 55 gallon poly drum in the entire state of Alaska! So he will bring be 4-8 in the Uhaul. I did enjoy just throwing away a lot of stuff I carried with me from house to house. Sometimes never even opening the box again. I filled that dumpster to the very top but I kept all the good stuff! Thank you Larry!

@AloneinRemoteAlaska 2 года назад

I usually try to have 2-3 backups of some kind. Some of them may not be preferable but it's definitely better than nothing. Like your dollar a day prep videos though, you can add variety to some backups to not make it so bad. And if you can make something dual or triple purpose even better. It's an ongoing goal though. There is always something that needs to be backed up or replaced. :-)

@lappf 2 года назад

I've been thinking about your garden this spring. You need a battery powered electric fence to protect the perimeter of your garden. you can get these at hardware stores, some big box stores and even online. I would suggest at least 4 strands of wire to protect from everything from rabbits to moose and bears. put the bottom strand at 8" above ground and then space them at whatever intervals you want. you can't let the bottom strand touch any weeds because it will short them out, so you will have to clear them out. you will also need the fence posts as well. From the pictures from one of your videos where your garden will be you might as well not plant a garden until you do this because the animals will eat everything up as fast as it comes above ground. One other benefit is after the bears and moose get stung a time or two they will probably take another route around your place. Wishing you well.

@AloneinRemoteAlaska 2 года назад

I am definitely going to get some electrical fencing! Looking to get some around the cabin first so I don’t have to worry so much about just going out my front door! :-) But you are so correct about the garden. Don’t even bother without an electric fence. A regular fence might work but the power a moose or bear has will make a regular fence a minor inconvenience without that shock! I watched a couple videos showing bears and moose touching the wire and it’s comical. I didn’t know about them getting shorted out. I’ve also seen some fencing that has plastic posts so you can move the fencing around but I’d do some log posts for sure! Thank you very much! :-)

When I move up next year I'm planning on buying a 6x12 cargo trailer. Whatever fits in it gets to come, anything else gets sold. The only large pieces of furniture I want to bring are my grandma's old solid oak dining table and my Purple mattress (and any Ikea I can fit in), so between my Tundra and the trailer I should be able to fit most of my things.

@AloneinRemoteAlaska Год назад

I suggest you bring as much as you possibly can! A 6x12 will fill up really quickly too! Yes you can buy anything in Alaska but you will find that your choices are limited and everything is more expensive. I always recommend to bring up as much as you possible can afford to! Oh and many websites (including some items on Amazon) will not ship to Alaska. No IKEA out here so even if you decide you don't like it anymore, I think IKEA items resell quickly! You have time to plan! I bet you are excited though! 🧡🤗💚

It's worth the wait and gives you time to prepare! I had been studying up on this life for decades and I am still learning! It is fun to dream about it but always remember Brandee, LIVE YOUR DREAM! You could take an Alaskan cruise with the kiddos! I hope you make it here! It is SO worth it! Thank you so much Brandee! 🧡🤗💚

Hi there, I just found your channel this weekend. I am from Toronto, Canada. I wasn't sure I would be into your channel, but can I say, I came to appreciate you and your channel and all your efforts. I am looking forward to watching your channel grow and your cabin becoming your vision. If I could add only one thing to your channel...LOL, I know. Get a vacuum sealer for your freezer storage. Think about it. I live in the city and I couldn't live without my favorite and most important kitchen tool. In your case, you would benefit mightily from this freezer tool too. Anyway... all the best. Keep up the good work. You got this.

@AloneinRemoteAlaska 2 года назад

Very sorry for the late response! I am very glad you found my channel! I am trying to make this channel more of the “Real Deal” LOL! :-) Informative, entertaining and throw in some humor. You have to have a sense of humor to live like this! But I also don’t want to be like the other channels. As for the vacuum sealer! I do have one. In my storage unit in Colorado. LOL! All my stuff comes up here in August though! The ONLY reason I didn’t pack it in the vehicle, it was just too big. My car was so packed tight I barely had room for my coffee cup! LOL! I hope you will join me for my journey here in Alaska and I look forward to seeing you in the comments often! Thank you so much! :-)

I was wondering what brand, haha Kenai is. The shape of his head, I've never seen a dog like him. I have a special place in my heart for black dogs and have rescued hundreds of dogs focusing on black dogs, working with rescue groups, or independently and getting them in loving indoor homes.

@AloneinRemoteAlaska 2 года назад

Make sure you watch Episode 13! That is how Kenai and I met! The comment section has a bunch of suggestions on his breed. I think he is just a mix of goof ball and teddy bear! And anyone that rescues animals has my utmost respect! You are always welcome here! 🧡🤗💚

@myrabunting6326 2 года назад

I discovered your channel last night and I have binge watched and thoroughly enjoying your journey. We lived in Fairbanks in the mid 80’s on Ft Wainwright and even though it was town living there were still issues that most people in the lower 48 are unaware of. -50 temperature in the winter and during the summer the midnight sun. Please keep filming so we can live through your experiences and I will keep picking up tips on preparedness.

@AloneinRemoteAlaska 2 года назад

Hello Myra! Yeah Fairbanks area gets the biggest temperature swings. -50 in winter then 80 in summer! That's crazy! And then they still have to deal with the longer days and nights. I post a new VLOG video every Thursday! I am very happy you will be joining me on this journey! You can live in Alaska again vicariously through my channel! Alaska misses you! Thank you Myra! :-)

@annettekilpela4723 2 года назад

I’m watching from Minnesota. Every year I rent a off grid cabin to celebrate my birthday in January and it’s been well below zero. When I did it the first time I couldn’t convince any of my friends to join me, now I don’t even want anyone to come with me. I’ve done it for several years. I admire and envy you. I’m not real sure that I could handle the solitude but I’d sure love to try. There’s no chance of it happening. My husband would never do it so I’ll live that life thru you and you do the job well. Thanks for the adventure.

@AloneinRemoteAlaska 2 года назад

Nobody wanted to go to an off grid cabin? Get a nice fire going and what could be better?? But heck yeah, you did it anyway! That's so awesome! The solitude is the best part. It's so quiet sometimes I can hear my heart beating. And Kenai snoring! Well Annette, you live vicariously through my channel and make your husband watch! Maybe he will change his mind? It's the best life ever! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! :-) I hope you enjoy the ride!

@AloneinRemoteAlaska 2 года назад

I do have electricity! So not quite off grid but it is a remote dry cabin! At least with electricity I don't have to make solar a priority and the electricity will be a good backup! I cant even imagine what someone paid to get electricity all the way to my cabin! Even the electric company guys that had to switch it on (cabin was empty for 6 years) were kind of shocked. But yes! We sure can do it too! The isolation is the best part! Thank you Ann! :-)

May be i should start my own chanel as I do all kinds of stuff... gardening, mushroom foraging, berry picking, fishing, canning, cooking etc.😀

@johninalaska4437 2 года назад

You definitely thought things out, good for you but, if you want to be really self suffient, you need to befriend some Alaska Native Elders to teach you how to preserve without all those modern implements. The Elders didn't have any of those or not many of them back in the day. There just may be a time when you can't buy those things or get to a store that sells them. Just a thought, thanks for sharing.

@AloneinRemoteAlaska 2 года назад

I love that idea John! Since Alaska has so many Alaskan Native Tribes, I was definitely going to learn about their cultures. I bet I would at least have to get past Cheechako first! :-) Like you said they have lived here for centuries so they know what to do! I've watched so many documentaries about the Alaskan Natives and its amazing how they still do things today that their ancestors did.

@brendakilberg5727 2 года назад

Hello from British Columbia. I'm so glad I found your channel and thank you for sharing your life with us. Some of our indigenous friends moved just north of the Arctic Circle in NWT, Canada and the closet settlement was an hour away by dog sled in the winter and a half days walk in the summer. They had back ups for everything including an emergency tiny cabin fully stocked with provisions should their main cabin happen to burn down especially in -50 C weather! They completely relied on themselves for survival and always had a plan A and plan B for every possible worst case scenario. They have moved 'south' and since retiring they have written a book about their life. For myself, my mantra is to live simply, grow as much food as possible, we forage and pick mushrooms. My husband and I have an old orange '74 Volkswagen van and love to wilderness camp, explore new places and still think of ourselves as hippies (old hippies now) ha! Thanks again and take care.

@AloneinRemoteAlaska 2 года назад

Yeah I have a backup cabin too. Funny how I never really applied the one is none. two is one to my cabin! :-) This summer I will spend some time stocking it up for that just in case moment. I'm hoping to find mushrooms and especially chaga. Berries and whatever else I can find! I hear spruce tips make a great salad! I've never tried that! An old 74 Volkswagen van like Scooby Doo! That's awesome! And you go be hippies if you want to! :-) Thank you Brenda!

@twobears1224 2 года назад

I will do a Spruce tip salad video! With spruce tea! It will be nice when I can walk my property again!
