MUST SEE! Transforming Sled-Cabin
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- Welcome to our transforming sled/cabin project! Spending a winter weekend in the woods of Alaska doesn't have to be frigid. We took our cabin with us!
This pop-up camper sled is a prototype. We are working on a concept and improving it each week. This video documents our first overnight, trial. There will be more videos to come as we test different designs and materials.
We wish you all the magic in the forest!
What a lucky and blessed young man to have these experiences with his Grandfather. He will never forget these times and he will learn lessons that will last him a lifetime!
There are so precious our children, we were really blessed with them
Not only that but when he’s grown with a family of his own this sled/cabin will probably still be around as will this video. He’ll be able to show his children how he built this with his grampa.
This is how master builders are made. Not slouching in chairs in school. What an important apprenticeship to have. The kid is a better than 99% of the helpers out there. Rare to see someone enthusiastic and not look at their phone.
the grandfather is also blessed with a great grandson like him who enjoys this kind of activities. he's a rare breed. my grandfather used to asked me to go somewhere with him, but i refused cz i prefer hanging out with my friends, rather than with an old man like him. now im an adult and full of regrets 😢
Look at the kid eyes, he is admiring his Grandfather
He's lucky to have a grandpa like you ❤
Yes he is.
And the other way around, too 😎👍
The boy looks admired and inspired by his Granddad!
@@ihorpavlovych5236these are wonderful skills that this child is learning from his grandfather! Love what your making!
What a terrific learning experience for a young boy. He will never forget that time with his grandfather. Well done guys.
Welcome back Gale. Wishing you and your bride a blessed new year. It’s great seeing you and your grandson working together on another project. Peace brother
Thank you. It is good to hear from you my friend.
@@ThisIsMyAlaska Have you considered licensing your sled camper design to anyone? I don’t camp anymore, our last time was during Hurricane Gilbert and my wife has never forgiven me... I would think they REI, or perhaps a snow mobile company would be interested. I see great potential in your design and construction. Wishing you and your grandson many happy opportunities together. Peace brother
Lucky young man. If only every young boy had this kind of guidance.
Thanks, Gale, for stepping back into our lives and sharing such a wonderful adventure with your grandson. Always love seeing your videos. Happy New Year!!
Thank you Carol. You make us feel so welcome! Peace to you dear friend
Someday when that young man isn’t so young anymore and things are tough he’ll have those memories of his grandpa to get him through. There is no greater gift than warm memories.
I was thinking, while watching this, if all grandpas were like you there would be so many happy, wise grandchildren.
I pray all is well with you and the family. Miss seeing your videos. They're the best!
Thank you my friend. We are doing well. I hope we can create more videos to share this winter. I enjoy it immensely
It's amazing what you are teaching your grandson! He will treasure those learning times with his grandpa forever, I'm sure! Now, you'll have to patent that sled invention of yours and wait for the orders to start pouring in! It won't be much of a wait I'm sure!! Much luck and success!!
I never got the chance to know either of my Grandfathers. He is such a lucky little guy - and you are so talented.
Hi from Montreal, same thing for me, came to Canada from italy when I was 2 so did not get the chance to know my grandparents, it's a shame, take care from jim and Louise
You can see the boy's confidence grow as he helps on the project. He's also learning how to bring imagination to life. It's wonderful to see
There aren't many videos that can hold my attention for 23 minutes, but this one did. What a lucky boy to have such a patient and skilled grandfather to learn from.
That is a great compliment and I thank you.
So happy to see the two of you working together and posting again ! I have missed you ! Welcome Back !
Thank you. We had so much fun with this project
Oh WOW Grandpa - what amazing memories you are building for this young man!! WOW!!!!
My wife and I were just talking about how much we missed seeing your videos! Thank you for sharing your project. We love your videos and the good natured dynamic of you and your family. One of the best channels out there.
Thank you friend. It is always a pleasure to hear from you!
One of the very best!
Awesome video with the grandson!
Can’t wait to see the thing of beauty that the two of you create❤❤your little guy is not so little anymore.
There's something quite touching seeing you both together ! And the shelter looks awesome !
How lovely to see the interaction between grandparent and the lad. Invaluable learning and memories for both. ❤
That was worth the wait gentlemen! Two master builders in a truly unique mobile home, just add imagination!! Always great to see you videos!!!!!
That was the coolest thing I have watched on RUclips in a long time! Love the way you spend time and teach that boy and the fun you have!
Hi! Wow! What a welcome surprise!!
Hello Ann! It’s been awhile. So good to hear from you
I 'bout jumped out of my chair when I saw your notification!!! I miss you and your family so much. If only every child could have a caring, mentoring grandpa like you!!!
Wonderful video. Much love to you, Tanya, Stella, and the entire family. ❤❤❤
Thank you Carole!!!
So very glad to see you back on RUclips. This video brought tears to my eyes and a smile. Reminded me of my departed husband and our grandson. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome. You made my night. Peace to you from Alaska
So, so, so, once again this inseparable couple - grandfather and grandson! Well, it's wonderful to see you again! I speak on behalf of all your subscribers: - Dear Gale, we miss you very much, we miss your releases and we are all interested in how your construction projects are progressing there. It's wonderful to have you back!!
Good morning my dear friend. We have missed you (and all of our RUclips family) tremendously. We think of you often. With any luck, we will post more videos soon and continue our friendship(s). Peace from us to you
watching you and your grandson work and learn together makes me think there might be some hope left for the world after all.
That is one awesome sled camper!! Great seeing you and your grandson back on here! He’s growing up so fast!!
I love how you involved your Grandson in the whole process the things you are teaching him are priceless love the innovative process thanks for sharing
I loved everything about this video.
Hands down best RUclips vid I’ve watched, just fantastic.
A big thank you from both of us!
Pretty much nothing more wonderful when opening RUclips than seeing that there is a new video from “This Is My Alaska” 😁 While you don’t try and compete with video quantity, you are head and shoulders above most with quality. So enjoyable to once again have an interesting video with no one talking at us. Thanks for believing that your audiance is intelligent enough to follow along, it is one thing that drew me to your channel originally. What a great project! Now your grandson can be like his Grandpa - the man with a tent and stove for every Alaska occasion - and he can be the boy with a unique camper for every occasion. He has the treehouse and now the sled, pretty impressive 👊 Thanks for sharing with us, it is appreciated! Enjoy your family and Alaska 😎
Thank you Steve! Good morning from Alaska. I really appreciate your comments. They mean a lot to me. I always hope my viewers can enjoy the sights and sounds of Alaska through my videos, but your feedback is meaningful. Thank you. Peace to you my friend
What a fantastic video. Thanks so much for sharing. Awesome sled camper and spending time with Drox. You guys are always working on something.
Thank you. So glad you are a part of it!
Welcome back Gale, what an incredible sled camper you two built! Your grandson is gonna grow up with so many valuable skills that you have taught him and what a blessing to share this time with him ! I was really excited to see one of your videos pop up, such craftsmanship and great video quality every time, thanks for sharing! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
Thank you! I am so pleased you enjoyed our project. It is good to be able to post a video. It has been a while
Big welcome back!! I think of you and Tanya often as I thoughly enjoy your videos my dream is to still visit Alaska. You have one amazing grandson still working side by side with you just beautiful.
Wishing you,Tanya and the family a safe and fabulous '24'. Warm wishing from Fiona in Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you Fiona, it is so good to hear from you!
Wow. So glad you are still having some great adventures with your grandson.
I (and my family) love your videos.
Thanks for sharing.
We are blessed watching them.
You are most welcome Dr Mark
I absolutely love this. Grand paw and grandson time. I was blushing throughout the duration of it 😂 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was so cool to watch. Making great memories with your grandson how awesome. Love the build.
This is amazing!! What a fun project! My dad built our first snowmobile sled about 50 yrs ago we had a lot of awesome memories of riding in it!!
Oh , you two ! You are a perfect team...the prototype is testament to creative thinking and problem solving . Kudos to you both !
This was delightful...the smiles haven't stopped yet !!! Thank you sooo much !!!
Thank you Kaylee. Love your comment. Much love from Alaska!
WoW! Memories and skills to last a lifetime! Beautiful video!
할아버지께서 손자에게 너무 멋진 추억을 만들어 주셨네요.
아마도 평생 아름다운 기억으로 남을것 같아요.
OMG, Hi Gale and Drox, what a pleasent surprise to see a video from you after all this time. I have been wondering where you have been. I even tried contacting you but, never an answer. The only one missing is your beautiful wife, Tonya. Drox has really grown and looks like he has graduated from helper to assistant builder. What a great project, that is a fine looking camper/sled. I hope you all are back making videos again. Can't wait to see Tonya. Thanks again for a fine video.
Well good evening John. It is so good to hear from you. We need to get that cup of coffee my friend. I would enjoy that. Let me know if you ever come up towards Fairbanks.
@@ThisIsMyAlaska I will and I am looking forward to it.
You can email me anytime at Thisismyalaskalife@gmail.com
That is by far the coolest camper I have ever seen. Great job!
That is so cool, that a Grandfather would teach his grandson a trade.
My dad would show my two sons some things about carpentry. And they both loved working with Grampa
What a delightful video, thank you for sharing, I'm a new grandfather and I so look forward to moments like these, to be able to emulate a great example of what fathering looks like your patience and joy that your videos bring forth add light to this world, thanks again Jim B.
Thanks Jim! Yes, I love the grandpa-years. They go by fast, I don’t want to miss them.
Your grandson will one day be one of the best builders out in Alaska. God bless both of you!
Everyone talks about how lucky the boy is, but what a gift for you! Kids keep us young. They keep us connected to when life was simpler and we saw wonder everywhere we looked. Adventure was just around the corner. Or the snowmobile track, as it were! 😊❤️
Thank you for mentioning this. I agree. Being able to work with a child is so rewarding. I wouldn’t want to miss this gift. I am here for it!
You are a genius, you also have a perfect assistant, it is good to see you, happy 2024
The dynamic.duo back in action!. You two are a force of life and love. ! Thank you for sharing
You are welcome my friend
How wonderful to have another video from you with the delightful partnership between you and Drox. As a Grandpa myself, I know how wonderful - and formative - these times are. Though your skills are infinitely more varied and of a higher order than mine! Also, what a great project - a lot of fun and creativity as well as skills needed! Greetings to the family too.
Good morning Jim. Always such a pleasure to hear from you. Stay well my friend and we will see you soon
Happy to see you back again ,nice build with you and your Grandson
How blessed you are, this boy will NEVER forget his time with his Grandpa.
That is cool. You two build the most awesome things. It's good to see you and Drox building again.
What a wonderful relationship between these two. You can tell they love each other. Creating lasting memories.
How blessed that boy is with a grandad of that calibre. We can only look on. Wonderful!
That kid would be welcome in my workshop anytime, Hustler and instinctively smart. Great job!!!
Damn, what an awesome tent and you guys built it yourself very nice craftsmanship✅😎🙌✅
I LOVE THIS!!! Not only a great design, but precious memories and skills for your grandson!❤❤❤❤❤
It’s lovely to see you back again . Your grandson is growing up fast .
The joy of being a grandparent. The ability to pass on your legacy, love and skills.🙏
Oh how I have missed you all!!! So wonderful to see you all again and especially you and your sweet grandson working together! Thank you so much for sharing more of you talent, knowledge, and especially your beautiful family with us. I hope your entire family are doing well, happy, and still enjoying the amazing and beautiful Alaska. May God continue to Bless and Protect you all!
Thank you our dear friend! We have missed our weekly visits too. We talk about them often. Our big family is growing and doing well. We seem to have grandchildren coming out our ears these days. It is a busy (but short) season of our lives and we want to make the most of it. We will try to put more videos out soon though. Stay in touch and have a blessed and peaceful 2024. Much love from Alaska
@@ThisIsMyAlaska Congratulations on the growing family and more grandchildren. I just had another great-granddaughter 5 days before Christmas! As always, I am sending much love, prayers, and best wishes to you and your entire family!! Thank you for being such a blessing to me!!
I was very happy to see a new video from you. I've missed seeing you and your grandson working together and making lovely memories. Happy New Year 2024 from Penang, Malaysia.
What an amazing project, and so beautifully constructed!
What everyone else about grandpa and grandson - - PLUS that is a very COOL design. Looking forward to more videos,
Wow!! What a Great Video! Grandfather, Grandson, what a wonderfull way to grow up!!!
welcome back, wow this little grandson will never for get this, hes so lucky to have U! good luck to all of U's, blessings to all!!👏😁
Beautiful video and beautiful memories. Takes me back to my Grandpa’s basement wood shop and projects we did together 60 years ago. Great times with a great man.
Great job Granddad. That is an experience your grandson will remember his entire life. I love that he had a smile on his face the entire time. I love that you showed him and then let him do some of the work. Well done.
Drox is a quick study. He keeps me on my toes
Woo hoo! Yay, good things come to us who wait. Awesome, thanks for doing and sharing.
Hello Daniele!!
Drox is the cutest thing on the internet. You are a lucky man to have such an inquisitive, fun grandson who obviously adores you.
What an awesome relationship you have with your grandson! Your videos are great!!
Thank you Stephen
it's so wonderful to see another video from you, I love Drox's matching shirt and hat, adorable! 💞🙂
Nice to see you back! Hoping you and your family are well.
Genuinely enjoying the fact that the wee man is a proper good help too. That young man is going to be just fine 👌🏽 Love the content, from Scotland 🏴
Thank you! Hello to Scotland!
@@ThisIsMyAlaska been really enjoying your videos mate, your work is unbelievable 👌🏽 hope all is well
The both of you are quite the working team. What an incredible sled camper, have certainly never seen anything like it. Thank you.
Good for your grandson, getting in there and doing his part. What an amazing experience for him and i dare say for grandad
That was fantastic. I smiled all the way through it! Thank you for sharing that with us.
Love that you are still wearing matching shirts in !!! Also glad you have started posting again!! Hope you are all fine!!
It’s blue plaid shirt day!!
Amazing invention, as well as the love between you and that boy. He will remember those adventures long after Grandpa is gone, and he's passing the knowledge to his own children. The circle of life is beautiful at times.
We miss your videos. Love this one. Awesome to see him work alongside you and already learning what the next step is. There is nothing better than a helper that can anticipate what's next. Live your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much!
What a team! I'm so impressed with your camper...looks well thought out. Hope you guys have a lot of fun with it 😊
How good it is to see that boy working with so much enthusiasm, I congratulate you. Greetings from Argentina.
Such precious memories being made, not to mention the knowledge being poured into this beautiful young man's spirit. My how he has grown!!!
So good to see you back, you never cease to amaze with the projects you make and to watch you with your grandson makes them that much better.
The smile that the grandfather gave his grandson, that is love and delight. I never had a father or grandparents, so it is beautiful to see how it is.
It is great to see a new video with you and your helper! That is a very interesting prototype. 😎😎😎😎
MISS YOUR VIDEOS. YOUR GRANDSON WILL HAVE ALL THESE MEMORIES OF EVERYTHING THAT YOU AND HIM HAVE DONE. YOU ARE A GREAT MAN FOR HELPING YOUR GRANDSON BUILD ALL THE THINGS YALL HAVE DONE TOGETHER.
So kind, thank you
Another amazing creative idea. What a lucky young boy to have this grandfather!
It's so good to see you again, Gale! You make a difference in our lives and I am grateful. How wonderful that you and your grandson can collaborate together. Surely it is an experience that will last both your lifetimes. Greetings to your lovely wife, too.
Catherine Cooper
Hello Catherine! So good to hear from you. It has been a minute. We are all doing well here. It’s been and extremely cold winter but we are warm and snug. Peace to you from all of us
How sweet of you to reply! I was listening to you and Tanya responding to comments of your viewers. I so loved the one that said they click the like button before watching. They echoed me perfectly. I do that each time because I know that it will be enjoyable and worthwhile. Many blessings to you both for that. There is one thing that I wish to take you to task for, Mr. Gale. I know you won't pay attention, but I'll feel better for having said it. PLEASE wear a mask and eye protection when tearing down old construction. Wouldn't it be awful if you lost an eye because a splinter got in it, or you got COPD and couldn't breathe without an oxygen machine because you took in all that dirt. I'm 75 years old and I know that our last years should be pleasant and as vital as can be. Lord knows that we've worked hard enough to earn that! Sitting up to sleep with oxygen attached to your face is NOT the ideal way to live. This is asked with love and caring. I feel like you, Tanya and Drox are family because I've watched you for so long.
Catherine@@ThisIsMyAlaska
Thank you Catherine. I appreciate your kind words (and advice). Peace to you form Alaska
The anticipation of finishing what you made with your own 2 hands is much more rewarding that going out and buying it. Great job guys! Hope you had a fun time🎉
Thanks! Yes, I agree.
Wow what a great memory for you and your grandson! Thank you for sharing.
You are welcome. Thank you
You are truly blessed to be working with your Grandson ! A wonderful experience for him with memories that will last his lifetime. I too have spent many hours (days) with my Grand daughters building and repairing both household and mechanical projects. The experience of working together with our younger generations will teach them life skills they can only get from their grandparents and memories which will last a lifetime, Do it while their young and be their best friend first, it works. Truly a blessing from God for me and her. Welcome back!
Thank you so much. I am a blessed man for sure. Drox is one of my 16 grandchildren. They keep me busy
lol, great idea! Fold it out to be twice as wide and have benches / beds outside the floor space have now. You won't have any problem with heating the space, I think.
So glad to see you back again. Have missed you both. What a lucky grandson.. What a lucky grandpa. great experiences and memories!! Keep them coming. best luck from Oregon.
That boy is very usefull, he realy sees how he can help. A beautiful characteristic to have!
Thanks for the new video I and hoping you have a fantastic new year
Happy New Year! I am so very happy to see you and your grandson here today. Thank you for sharing your life and your wonderful work!
Happy new year my friend
That’s one of the coolest build videos I ever seen. You’ve got some skills and you’re sharing them with your grandson. That’s awesome!
Thank you my friend
I think this adorable and handsome young man has some big-time hero worship going on for gramps!😊❤
OK, the way you work together almost reading each other's minds is crazy cool. You look like you have been working together for many years.
AND, that's one of the best thing's I've seen. Holy cow.
That young man is sweet and very smart. He's learning so much from Grandpa! I'm impressed!
