Sleeping Dog Homestead Alaska
Добавлен 7 янв 2023
Two kids building a homestead in SouthCentral, Alaska with our three dogs.
We’re escaping the city, chasing our dream of living off the grid. We purchased 31 acres on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska sight unseen.
Moving off grid will allow us to connect fully with the outdoors. We’ve spent our weekends venturing out hiking, camping, hunting, and foraging but are ready to be outside all the time!

Pike Fishing In Alaska | Matanuska Valley
Просмотров 220Месяц назад
This weekend we took a trip out to the Matanuska Valley in Alaska to try out hand at fishing for pike in a new lake. We haven't targeted pike specifically before and are excited to catch a few. Our goal for the weekend was to get enough pike to make Travis' grandmothers pike dip recipe! The day started out slow but Travis caught a few large trout. We didn't catch video of all of the trout but b...

This weekend we went to the Russian River in Cooper Landing, Alaska. Our goal was to catch some salmon and have a relaxing weekend. We may have been too late for the run though! Working on our property has taken a lot longer than we planned and has changed our timeline for fishing and hunting. If we don't start catching fish soon we will have to really buckle down for hunting season so we have ...

This weekend we went snagging for sockeye salmon in Seward, Alaska. We got our 1990 lil’ extra van, Vanimal, out of storage and ready for the road. We drove down to Seward to fish in Resurrection Bay. Specifically we went “snagging” which refers to dragging a hook through the water with the intention of hooking a fish in its path. In Alaska you can only snag in salt water. Fresh water fishing t...

What a wild end to the long weekend. We got caught in a storm and our camp stove and both chainsaws broke. We may be at out wits end with the property. This land is both stunning and unforgiving. We started out our morning trying to get the camp stove to keep a flame. We gave up on that and decided to just throw our perk coffee pot in the fire while we trekked down to the truck to get more wate...

Let’s them sit for 10 minutes. 2. In a separ...

Today we went fishing in Talkeetna, Alaska. What started out as a rainy morning soon turned to biting fish and lots of laughs. We started our journey in Anchorage then made a pit stop for breakfast at Three Bears in Chugiak. There had been a ton of ducks in the Palmer Hay Flats the last time we drove north but they seem to have moved on. Cloudy conditions persisted all day but small outbursts ...
Hypothermic Camping In Alaska | Managing Expectations For Our Homestead
Просмотров 433 месяца назад
Camping while we figure out what needs to be done on the property has been challenging! We picked up a Mr.Buddy Heater for in the tent but it is eating through our propane supply. We have to carry out anything we need for the property because we don’t own off road vehicles yet. We’ve had to manage expectations when it comes to where we want the cabin to be. We are in the only dry area on the pr...

The second day of our first weekend on our homestead. We are living in a tent with our three dogs while we build our homestead. We bought property sight unseen on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. The property has a “road” to it but it is a muddy mess! We would call it more of a trail. Making it out to the property without the use of off road vehicles has been challenging. We can only bring to the...

Everyone saying the red run was over weeks ago in Seward too. Wtf!!
This was a couple weeks ago! We caught the end of the run because we were working on the property.
I'm so jealous! Looks gorgeous! Enjoy while we got it! ❤
Any form of snagging fish is so unethical. You have to have no soul as a human to participate in this shit.
Your salmon probably comes from a trawling vessel so
😂 you must not be from Alaska.
It is beautiful - just awesome what you two are doing in Alaska!!
Thank you! We are so blessed to be able to chase our dreams together
ok so you had the propane bottle upside down.
We watched a few @jiujitsu2000 campstove videos and realized our initial mistake 🤦♀️ we changed the tank position and the regulator is still messed up
@@sleepingdoghomesteadAK yes because it came in contact with liquid propane and broke it. people like you should not play with stuff you don't under stand.
👍

Thank you for subscribing! We’re going to follow you too! Our plan for this summer is to build a road, clear and level some spots on the property and get a pad set up for the cabin! We would love to start building this year but we’re expecting to build next summer. We’ve been cutting trees and leveling what we can by hand. Where are you located!
