Cold outside, warm inside, food on the table, fresh water from a stream, no annoying people, best companionship, no talking, what more can anyone ask for? This is the way to live.
This is my dream. I love cold. I love quiet. I love dogs. I love cabins. I love nature. I would give anything to live some place like this. To hear the sound of the cold wind whistling at night while you sleep. So amazing. I would still need high speed internet to do my job remotely though. LOL
Good morning Erik. You are speaking my language friend. We get some tremendous winds here at the cabin. At times the whole building shakes. I love laying in bed at night and listing to the storms. It is the most peaceful feeling on earth.
With Starlink Satellites, you could have the best Internet even in the most remote parts of the earth. I would love to live and work remotely from such a remote lovely place, as well. I would also love to have a private jet / helicopter, to fly around for fun & to quickly visit the nearest city/town, just in case I start feeling lonely. PS: I just noticed that someone has already mentioned about Starlink. Yeah! Starlink's fast Internet would be awesome!
I found this video soothing, no loud music, no elaborate series of explanations, just nature, cozy cabin, loving pet, warm fireplace, nice lighting, and a home cooked breakfast. Ahhh!
Our family just spent a few weeks in Alaska last month, we're Arizona desert dwellers, and thought we were in Heaven! Such an amazing, beautiful place. You have your own slice of paradise there... Lovely home, fresh crisp air, crystal clear water, abundant natural resources, and serenity. Thanks for sharing!
You must be very careful searching for serenity.. In Seinfeld season 9 episode 3, Lloyd Braun says, " Serenity Now, Insanity later." Be careful what you wish for. 🤪🤪 please give me a thumbs up. 👍
Generator, propane, fuel, snowmobile, store bought food, yea simple natural life there. Lmfao, not to mention all the other little conveniences he bought.
Just an idea: In Germany some restaurants have a semicircular heavy curtain just inside of the door to keep the cold from entering during the cold winter days. This curtain is hung from the ceiling on a strongly fastoned rack, and works great to keep that chill out. Might work well in your cabin there.
It all looks like peace on earth. The fact of living off the land doing the things our ancestors you to do. To me that's real peace and happiness. Great video.
What is that building on the right? The bathroom with hot shower and flush toilet? If not my peace and happiness would disappear the first time I had to walk out to the outhouse at 2 am in the snow carrying a bear rifle.
God, reminds me so much of home. I live in the UK since about a year ago, but I'm from northern Sweden originally. I can practically smell the inside of that cabin.
Reminds me of the life I had up in the Carpathians mountains in an old log cabin where i didn't had not even a fireplace or stove. Had to prepare my food outside using an old barrel in which i used to make fire. Inside the cabin was cold as heck. Showers were with cold water or snow. But guess what? Didn't even had a simple cold, or a tooth ache or anything. I moved back to the city after my training session, found hot water and gas at my reach and i started to have cold, flues, tooth aches, knees problems. I know that living up in the mountains is tough (even a nightmare for some people), but its all so dang beautiful. I miss that time, so next year i'm gonna move to an old friend's farm up in mountains. And i'm gonna take snow showers again :) God bless you, my friend :)
Good evening Radu. Well this is wonderful. I almost want to go with you, and could not agree more with your sentiments. I have a dear old native friend here that lives with his wife in a shanty on the bank of the Yukon River, hundreds of miles from the nearest town. He is also very wealthy. Last year I asked him why they didn't move to some tropical beach and this was what he said, "We have traveled all over the world and could live anywhere we wanted to, but there is simply no better place than here on shores of the Yukon River." I love their view of life. The things they valued were not associated with money at all. Peace to you from Alaska.
@@ThisIsMyAlaska Wow how do they buy food and other necessities or get mail on a regular basis if they are hundreds of miles from the nearest town. Or do they grow/raise all their own food? also what would they do if there is a sudden emergency like medical situation or a fire?? I'm not asking to be rude I'm just curious.............
I hear ya Shelly, no one feel comfortable with all the crazies running around. I too would love to escape but for now I just have videos like this to keep me sane.
I know this looks like a very idealistic life, so peaceful and serene and away from the rat race. However, in reality, I think this would be a very hard life to be so remote and dealing with the harshness of choosing this life style, especially for a long time. Most people are not really cut out or would know how to live out there, the eveyday things you bave to do to survive, etc. Yes, some people could, but in reality most could not for very long.
We appreciate your time and we look forward to your videos each week. So relaxing, fun, educational, entertaining, and my wife and I have a stay at one of your cabins on our bucket list. Blessings!
Hello Ryan. We are overwhelmed! Thank you for your gift. So generous. If you do come up this way we will have to share a cup of coffee and catch up. Please give our thanks to your wife. Peace
Good morning my friend. It is the sweetest, coldest water on the planet. This is the fountainhead. It comes right out of the side of the mountain right here. Peace.
@@ThisIsMyAlaska sit down calm and feel the silence this type of silence god give us the humans but humans search the silence one thing already god give the silence to all
Good morning my friend. Such an interesting comment. I grew up here back in the 60's on a remote, completely off-grid homestead. 50 years later, life here at this cabin is still relatively unchanged from those days. We have better equipment and technology to be sure, but the nights are still dark and cold and silent. I wouldn't trade it for any other place on the planet. Peace to you from Alaska
@@ThisIsMyAlaska I’d imagine the peace and serenity of those cold, still winter nights is unparalleled by anything urban life can offer. Thanks for replying, and wishing you all the best that life has to give. Peace and love from Israel.
@@ThisIsMyAlaska I agree, but I prefer cats. I aspire to own a remote offgrid cabin someday. Spent way too many nights sleeping in a bedroll, in a bivy, and on the ground.
The older I get, the more I can picture myself in a remote setting surrounded by peace and quiet. Great vids and I'll continue to watch. Kicking back next to a wood stove, a hot cup of coffee and a good book is good for the soul.
I have to agree. I'm 55 and outdoors kind of gal. What is it that makes us crave No distractions and peace 😄😄 I love cooking a hot meal and baking and a good book 🤗
@@darrellroeters4951 + WRONG, STAY IN SHAPE AND EAT CLEAN MOST OF THE TIME SO YOUR BODY CAN STAY FUNCTIONAL AND STRONG AS YOU GO BEYOND YOUR 50'S, PRESCRIPTIONS AND FRAIL BODIES ARE FOR THE LAZY AND WEAK
Hello Steve. Thank you for your comment. I encourage you to pursue your vision. Please don't let the uncertainties of getting older deter you. I turn 57 this year and I am looking forward to the next couple of decades here in the mountains. I have good friends here in their 80's that are still living on their homesteads (more than a few). I also agree with the comment below by Lee Lunk, we all need to eat healthy and exercise in order to take full advantage of our later years. You can do just about anything you realistically dream of doing. I encourage you to go for it.
I love storms, any kind. I love to hear the wind blow, lightning, thunder!! The dog would be the perfect companion. Bring a couple of good books and a big fire. Wow, a gas stove also, the best for cooking big steaks
Hello Joanne. We agree. To me the is nothing more peaceful than to be in the cabin in a storm. Some may find it disconcerting but I love it when the wind shakes the cabin
I live in Alaska not too far from a town but out a little ways. Its much like this video. I don't understand why everyone doesn't want to live here but I'm glad they don't. Come on up, it's heaven up here.
Looks like heaven on earth! Thought we would retire to our cabin, and then one day my husband decided he'd had enough snow after a horrible ski accident and wanted to retire to a beach. I'm a mountain/snow girl so the sale of our cabin has hit me hard. Thanks for sharing the serenity of your world.
Good evening my friend. I am so sorry to hear about your husband's accident and having to leave the mountains. I love the beach too but I would miss the mountains so much. There was a period of time in my life when I wanted to sail so badly. I wanted to experience being out on the ocean alone at night, under that huge sky. Truthfully, I would still love to experience that. Maybe some day. But for now, this cabin up above timberline, comes close. Peace to you my friend.
@Robert Hamilton "You are a good woman, that knows her place". What fuxking kingdom, territory, region (place) is that then? You seem very scholarly and knowledgeable plz share your thoughts of wisdom insight and understanding with us, hopeless souls. *cant wait for this shxt(smh)
Why on earth would you sell it? If you wanted to go there, go there. You don't need to retire somewhere you don't want to, just like your husband doesn't have to either.
@@hellomimibanana Our retirement doesn’t plan for 3 homes, just 2, which is primary residence and (now) a beach house. Besides, my husband has let me choose all the gorgeous properties we’ve owned. Fair is fair, and I feel that he should get to pick at least one location. Besides, a one month rental during snow season should restore my soul annually!
Good morning Janet. Yes, the night sky above timberline is immense. I have often compared it to being out on the ocean at night. It stretches from horizon to horizon. Peace to you from Alaska
Scott, thank you. Same here! We love the Christmas lights, they help with navigating around the deck after dark and they aren’t a huge draw on the generator. Peace to you.
Wow! Your cabin looks awesome and with the cozy glow and crackling sound going on I have a rumbly tummy now lol - thanks for taking us along on your adventures - look forward to seeing more 😊
@@ThisIsMyAlaska Thank you for having me! Alaska is one of the places that is near the top of my bucket list - I would love to visit a cabin like yours one day but for now I can almost feel like I'm there - take care 😊😊
I watched this from LA in my shitty little expensive apartment where I could hear traffic going by and people scramming. I couldn't look away from the tv it was like an escape. Thank you for the therapy :)
Hello Thelma! Thank you for watching and commenting. This water is right out of the side of the mountain. I am standing at the fountainhead. It flows all year long, even at -40F. It is the sweetest water I have ever tasted. It makes fabulous coffee!
I saw a comment about shoveling snow. When I lived in Alaska I found it very therapeutic to shovel the driveway. I had a snow blower but often I shoveled it. It was magic. The cabin you see here is luxury and looks very new with all the mod cons. Would be ideal. Even a more modest place is still heaven. What you are not seeing is the wildlife that passes by. Moose, birds squirrels occasional bear. It is heaven on earth.
Uwielbiam zimno i mróz, niestety w Polsce prawie w ogóle nie ma zimy. Życie przedstawione na filmiku.. to życie którego chciałabym zaznać chociaż na tydzień w moim życiu. Spokój, bez ludzi, w pięknym miejscu i zimą.. bajka 🥰
Nice video with no background music really calm and nice and your dog is also very quiet.. I think dog is the only best friend in this world who never leave you
Good morning Shubhra, and thank you for your kind words. I agree, we are so blessed to have dogs in our lives. My pup's name is Stella. She makes me smile everyday. Have a great week my friend.
I am from that part of India where the summers are extreme. Your cabin is a haven for people like me, some good food and a husky to talk to. What more can I ask for? This video warmed me up within. Lots of love and good wishes from India.
Thank you Sathya. Hearing from kind people like you, from all parts of the world, I one of my favorite things about this hobby. I never dreamed I would meet and talk with so many wonderful friends. Bear hugs from Alaska.
Though extremely beautiful, living in such conditions would be extremely tough. Being from India, our summers are bad but then it is not extreme. It looks very beautiful. Nice for an experience. Deep in Himachal, Kashmir and Uttarakhand , living in winter becomes a challenge. Not to talk of Siachen, Drass and Zansker
@@deepakpuri4320 True but what fascinates me in this video is the serene calm night, you all by yourself, your best friend as your companion, a warm hearth and tranquility. Getting away from civilization has its own bounties. I am sure there would be so much self-talk, self-reasoning involved which brings you bliss and peace. More than anything, you will fall in love with yourself. We deserve this Deepak at some point of time in life. We need to love our own self. God bless you.
I am from India, too, but i saw the snow and ran back to my hot, dusty city. Give me Indian summers anytime. Made me realise what a hot climate person I am.
@@satyasudhakar actually true, myself from Indian Himalayas , we do have some House near us, we don't have Huskies we have Himalayan dogs ( Tibetan mastiff) they are our life❤️ That life is good but challenging at the same time. This heaven when you're young, but not for old you.
This was one of the most relaxing things I have ever watched. Perfect collection of sounds while watching you go about your unique routine. I was supposed to be making coffee, but I started watching this and became entranced. 11 min later I snapped to, wondering what I was supposed to be doing in the kitchen. LOL
Ha! You’re supposed to make the coffee before you sit down to watch, so you can stay awake 🤣…Seriously, thank you for the very kind compliment, it truly is such an encouragement. It’s great to have you here! Peace from Alaska.
I spent a part of my childhood in Alaska and I remember our hunting and fishing trips and living like this. That was before generators were available/affordable for regular people. I loved that life.
Good afternoon Debbie. I love those stories. I grew up on the outskirts of Nenana. We hauled our water from the creek, a mile or so away, we heated only with wood, and our only "plumbing" was an outhouse. My dad dug a 10-foot-deep hole down into the permafrost and covered it with an insulated cover. He put a ladder down into it and built shelves down there. That was our freezer during the summer months. I remember when we got our first generator. It was a 4-kW Witte. My mom was so happy. Of course we didn't call it "living off-grid" back then, it was just "living". Over a half century later I am still trying to get back to that simple way of life and I believe I will make it. Thanks for the memories. Peace.
So awesome to have you here! I am super excited about this project too. I will be posting every week. I look forward to many great conversations. Welcome
Very well presented and put together video great filming no music and words not necessary count me in fantastic . Greetings from an Englishman in France .
Welcome! And thanks for your kind words. I am so happy you have joined my circle of friends. Write anytime, I love the conversation, it is one of my favorite things about this project. I will be posting videos on a weekly basis.
I wish I can visit Alaska or any other state. I’ve been living in New York City my whole life. I’m kind of sick of living in a crowded environment. The only other states I’ve ever visited are Connecticut and Michigan. My dream state to move to is Hawaii. I prefer tropical and humid environments. But I’d love to visit Alaska one day and see the northern lights with my own eyes. There’s so much I want to see in this world before I go
Good morning. Thanks for watching. Alaska’s climate is dry and cool. It is pretty much opposite of Hawaii. That said, you should visit. It is big and beautiful. Who knows, you may just love it here
Good evening Raya. Thank you for watching. Many times I arrive at the cabin (in the winter) at very cold temperatures. The wind is often blowing very hard as well. I have redundant methods of quick fire starting because I have learned how important it is to have a reliable heat source. When I leave, I always make sure the fire-starting essentials are all prepared for my return. Peace.
I always forget that some people don't grow up in the middle of nowhere with extreme winters that require you learning these things. Sobering reminder that I have a lot more skills than I think I do.
Simplicity, it's a great way to live. The special woman in my life lived in a semi truck in Alaska, on a route from Anchorage to a remote northern part of the state when she was married from 1981 until 1989. Her and I are natives of central Arizona and she never got used to living in Alaska. Thanks for sharing the video.
This how we lived until I was 13 yrs old! No TV -No Electricity -No Gas We had a huge cast iron stove, down comforters, a well and as much fresh game, berries, flora, fauna as we needed! Kerosene lanterns, fresh water supply from artisan wells, good food and few neighbours! A wonderful childhood spent in Northern British Columbia! We had a log cabin and every wall opened and became a pantry! Underground food storage and a smokehouse! Our dogs, 2 horses, 2 milk cows, 5 hens and 2 roosters provided for companionship and working needs! 1 bobcat that befriended us! Injured and my mother saved him! Timothy Tom was my 1 and only pet and best friend! A wonderful and Blessed childhood!
Hello Kathy! Greetings from Alaska. You make me want to hear more of your story. I grew up very much as you described. My father dug a deep hole outside the cabin that went down deep into the permafrost. He built a ladder down into it and put an insulated cover over the top. It had shelves all around at the bottom. That was our freezer during the summer months. He ran a trapline, hunted for our meat, fished for the salmon each summer and grew a garden. It was not an easy life but I loved it dearly. What was it about that kind of a life that was so satisfying to a child? Where do we find that quality of living in the world today?
@@ThisIsMyAlaska Thank You! The best part was falling asleep in the fresh air and waking to cowboy coffee, fresh bread and homemade butter! It was hard at times but it never seemed hard! We were so blessed! My mother homeschooled us bc the closest school was a couple of hundred miles away! We were north of Prince George -She was a teacher! When I finally had to go high school my reading and language arts were advanced! My dad played fiddle and spoons-mom sang and she played a wash board! Wonderful life!
I’m a black girl in ga.and I wish I had a place like this in Alaska,it’s perfect it’s peaceful and I love it,one day I hope to have something just as nice and far away as this,thanks for the video,and I’ll be waiting for the next one....
Thanks for watching Valeria! I know many people like you that made their Alaskan dreams a reality. I know you can do it too. I will be posting weekly going forward. Thanks for being here. Stay in touch.
Whatever you do, stay away from Haines, Alaska. The worst place I've ever lived, by far...and I grew up in south Philly.....in fact, I'd stay away from all of southeast Alaska and start off in the Anchorage area. Especially around Palmer and Wasilla. Alaska is NOTHING like the lower 48. Also, it's full of EXTREMIST Republicans, just FYI. Not the friendliest place I've ever lived, that's for damn sure. Lastly, be prepared for NONE of your friends to come see you more than once because travel to Alaska from the lower 48, SUCKS HARD!!!! If all you're after is life off the grid like in this video, for the love 9f God start out in the Anchorage area first, spend a few years there and become accustomed to the different world that Alaska is, THEN decide if this is what you want. I lived MANY years of my life across all of Alaska and to be perfectly honest, aside from not having the northern lights, you're WAY better off building off grid in one of the mountain states like Montana or Washington. I spent years after my Marine Corps tour was up, in Washington and boy oh boy was that a great place. Great mountains, plenty of off grid opportunities and best of all, always still close enough to hop in the car and go to the ocean or whatever floats your boat and several big airport opportunities for your friends to use when wanting to visit. Just my two cents.... good luck and I hope you find what you're looking for. Also, just remember, if you think you need to move to find happiness, you're not going to find it. You must be happy first then find a place you love to settle in. 🙏🖖✌
Watching from the Philippines. I can't imagine how cold this place must be! Life there must be simple yet fulfilling and peaceful! Just what we need in these times.
hey there Ron! Hello from Durango, CO. My Filipino wife ( a science teacher) and I live in the South Western Colorado mountains. She's always cold, haha. We're not off grid, but we enjoy the self sufficient life style of hunting elk, turkey, and deer, spending time cutting our own firewood, and we heat only with the wood stove to cut down on winter electric bills, and operating a saw mill so we can add onto the cabin as we want to. Green house will be complete soon. Got chickens and ducks, & 5 big dogs. haha. but the best thing is being away from people and the hustle bustle of city life! (mostly that is, we still have a few crazy neighbors, as one would expect living up in the hills)
@@dgodrummer8110 Wow! Self sufficient life is very interesting to me! We live in the city and only visit our farm few times a week! We tried fishing not so much for hunting in our area.haha Hope to see some videos on how you operate a saw mill and your greenhouse.wow.just amazing!
Yes, I love this way of "silent" shooting. Your effort to setup cameras everywhere, so we the viewers can follow you on each of your chores is amazing. If possible, tell us a little bit about you and where the cabin is located. A big thank you from Fort Collins, CO!
Thanks for watching Luis! I have lived in Alaska over half a century. I grew up at an off-grid lodge run by my parents. We had no running water or electricity, and we heated only with wood. I loved that lifestyle. Our cabin is in the Alaska Range in the same area my dad took me hunting and fishing years ago. It is still off grid.
Thought of you again today Sunday, 10/27/2024 and you've crossed my mind off and on. This video was the first video of yours I watched and subscribed to three years ago. Decided to watch it again. Now, I feel pretty melancholy. Miss you and your wonderful videos. Hope all is well with you and your family. Salamat, Gail. (That's Thank you in Tagalog/Filipino). Stay warm. Much love to you and your family. God bless. ~Michelle~ 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

Aww,,, thanks Mahesh! Such kind words. I am so glad you enjoyed the cabin. Incidentally, the cabin is a wonderful place to get a good night's sleep. So quiet there.
Thank you my friend. Interestingly, this was my childhood dream as well. I have never really wanted anything else out of life. I don't think it gets much better honestly. Peace to you.
What a beautiful cabin! So surreal and peaceful. I grew up outdoors camping, fishing, hiking, boating, skiing, there's nothing quite like it, I absolutely love the outdoors. I love the lighting that you put around your cabin the ambiance is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing 🤓
Your love and dedication for, both, Alaska and cinematography ought to be commended. There are only a few men of your caliber. Living in the extreme cold conditions of Alaska in winter is not easy, as it requires one to expend much energy just in keeping himself warm. Kudos to you.
@@MakeB711 Hello my friend. I would be happy to discuss your questions and try to provide some answers. There are resources I would direct you to in regards to finding and purchasing remote property. This particular property does not have property tax but many other pieces will. There are few rules for construction of a single-family homes built outside of the cities. Building a cabin takes a time commitment and a some money too. There are lots of things that have to be purchased. That said, I think it is a middle-class kind of thing, a dream in reach of many people if they want it bad enough. If you want more information feel free to drop me an email. thisismyalaskalife@gmail.com. I will do my best to answer your questions. Peace.

Very Nice, Love the simplicity and pureness of it. The lights on the house after hooking up the generator are fabulous. Stay well and thanks for posting. William
You're an inspiration. I've always wanted this type of life style, reminds me of my childhood in a small village. I'm in my late 20s, but plan on building a log cabin somewhere in Alaska after a saving up money. And peace to you from Tenn.
Love this cabin and it’s simplicity. I have been to Alaska and it is every bit of beautiful as he has shared with us all. Can’t wait for another video!!
Thanks for your comment Renee! I love how those of you who have been to Alaska recognize the feel and familiarity of the country. I posted my second video tonight.
I loved this video it’s definitely a mindset set I feel sort of the same but here in England 🇬🇧 peace is a beautiful thing God bless you my friend & your dog ❤️
So much comfort in watching this video. Its like every last thing I ever wanted in my life. You are so blessed to have all this. So much Inner peace and outer peace. I Will give anything to have this. Stay safe. Awaiting another vedio to see the lovely surroundings.
Well thank you Samantha! I am so glad you enjoyed the video and that the feel of the place came through to you. I love that part of your comments. I will be posting each Friday. You will meet my wife in this next video. Enjoy
Good afternoon my friend. I don't think I would survive the hot Egyptian weather. You called it 'burning"! That is far too warm for me. My favorite season is the wintertime. I have lived here over 50 years now and still love everything about it. Peace.
Hey there Steve! Thanks for watching. I am super excited to share the country and the life that I love so much. I think this will be a great adventure for all of us.

So peaceful. I just want to cozy up by the fire after a day of chores with a cup of tea and a good novel with my pup by my side. What else does one need? So simple and satisfying. Thanks for the tour.
Cool. I don't like cold weather, so my imagined version of this would be a hut on a desert island. The good news is, we can make our lives more peaceful, self sufficient, and "unplugged" wherever we are. Even if it's in small ways, there are things we can do right now if we want to make a change to our lifestyle. 😁👍
Great point. Unfortunately, I've gotta wait a few more years, 6 to be exact, till I retire and my wife and I want to sell it all and live in something on wheels and travel the US. Hope your life is giving you all the best!
Good afternoon. I have many friends and acquaintances that live off grid here and have done so for years. I grew up here (over 50 years ago) at a remote lodge that was completely off grid. Of course that was back before we called it "off-grid". Back then we just called it "living". We heated with wood, hauled our water from the creek a mile away, and used the old outhouse. It was wonderful and simple. I still love everything about it. Peace.
This is absolutely amazing. I would take living in a log cabin in Alaska over living in some lavish luxury house in Malibu anyday. This is definitely my kind of scene.

Удобство, комфорт, да.. Но дом построен тупо для того, чтобы приехать, максимум переночевать и уехать. Во первых нужен ТАМБУР. Без тамбура - отапливаешь улицу. Во вторых.. ну газ, электричество, холодильник.. это вообще не "дикий" отдых. Отдых обеспеченного человека, который этот дом использует тупо снимать ролики, и это грустно.

Cold outside, warm inside, food on the table, fresh water from a stream, no annoying people, best companionship, no talking, what more can anyone ask for? This is the way to live.
Soon the entire earth will be like this. A paradise for the entire earth, Not for some, but for those who will be looked on favorably by the true God.
Can't agree more 👏👏
Amen, trusty dog by your side! Perfect, only need a bottle of wine.
Would love this, no people just my dog
A sauna. A _real_ sauna.

This is my dream. I love cold. I love quiet. I love dogs. I love cabins. I love nature. I would give anything to live some place like this. To hear the sound of the cold wind whistling at night while you sleep. So amazing. I would still need high speed internet to do my job remotely though. LOL
Good morning Erik. You are speaking my language friend. We get some tremendous winds here at the cabin. At times the whole building shakes. I love laying in bed at night and listing to the storms. It is the most peaceful feeling on earth.
@Theo P Its alot cheaper than the life the average human lives. But money is besides the point. You cannot put a price on peace
Until the Wolves and Bears come Sniffing around.
Honestly starlink might do the trick. If not it will in a few years
With Starlink Satellites, you could have the best Internet even in the most remote parts of the earth.
I would love to live and work remotely from such a remote lovely place, as well.
I would also love to have a private jet / helicopter, to fly around for fun & to quickly visit the nearest city/town, just in case I start feeling lonely.
PS: I just noticed that someone has already mentioned about Starlink. Yeah! Starlink's fast Internet would be awesome!
I dont think words would describe the peaceful nature of that experience.
Tranquil - an adjective - free from disturbances, like annoying bipeds.

Lovely home, fresh crisp air, crystal clear water, abundant natural resources, and serenity. Thanks for sharing!
You were welcome my friend. I am so glad you got to spend some time in Alaska. You know you will have to come back now.

Just an idea: In Germany some restaurants have a semicircular heavy curtain just inside of the door to keep the cold from entering during the cold winter days. This curtain is hung from the ceiling on a strongly fastoned rack, and works great to keep that chill out. Might work well in your cabin there.
It all looks like peace on earth. The fact of living off the land doing the things our ancestors you to do. To me that's real peace and happiness. Great video.
Thanks for being here C.R. I am glad you enjoyed the video.
What is that building on the right? The bathroom with hot shower and flush toilet? If not my peace and happiness would disappear the first time I had to walk out to the outhouse at 2 am in the snow carrying a bear rifle.

A man and his dog alone in a cozy cabin in the wilderness. Can’t beat that.
Reminds me of the life I had up in the Carpathians mountains in an old log cabin where i didn't had not even a fireplace or stove. Had to prepare my food outside using an old barrel in which i used to make fire. Inside the cabin was cold as heck. Showers were with cold water or snow. But guess what? Didn't even had a simple cold, or a tooth ache or anything. I moved back to the city after my training session, found hot water and gas at my reach and i started to have cold, flues, tooth aches, knees problems. I know that living up in the mountains is tough (even a nightmare for some people), but its all so dang beautiful. I miss that time, so next year i'm gonna move to an old friend's farm up in mountains. And i'm gonna take snow showers again :)
God bless you, my friend :)
Good evening Radu. Well this is wonderful. I almost want to go with you, and could not agree more with your sentiments. I have a dear old native friend here that lives with his wife in a shanty on the bank of the Yukon River, hundreds of miles from the nearest town. He is also very wealthy. Last year I asked him why they didn't move to some tropical beach and this was what he said, "We have traveled all over the world and could live anywhere we wanted to, but there is simply no better place than here on shores of the Yukon River." I love their view of life. The things they valued were not associated with money at all. Peace to you from Alaska.
@@ThisIsMyAlaska Wow how do they buy food and other necessities or get mail on a regular basis if they are hundreds of miles from the nearest town. Or do they grow/raise all their own food? also what would they do if there is a sudden emergency like medical situation or a fire?? I'm not asking to be rude I'm just curious.............

@@ThisIsMyAlaska my son has social Phobia this is what he wants to do build a home in a forest....
I know this looks like a very idealistic life, so peaceful and serene and away from the rat race. However, in reality, I think this would be a very hard life to be so remote and dealing with the harshness of choosing this life style, especially for a long time. Most people are not really cut out or would know how to live out there, the eveyday things you bave to do to survive, etc. Yes, some people could, but in reality most could not for very long.

Good morning my friend. Such an interesting comment. I grew up here back in the 60's on a remote, completely off-grid homestead. 50 years later, life here at this cabin is still relatively unchanged from those days.

Looks like heaven on earth! Thought we would retire to our cabin, and then one day my husband decided he'd had enough snow after a horrible ski accident and wanted to retire to a beach. I'm a mountain/snow girl so the sale of our cabin has hit me hard. Thanks for sharing the serenity of your world.
Good evening my friend. I am so sorry to hear about your husband's accident and having to leave the mountains. I love the beach too but I would miss the mountains so much. There was a period of time in my life when I wanted to sail so badly. I wanted to experience being out on the ocean alone at night, under that huge sky. Truthfully, I would still love to experience that. Maybe some day. But for now, this cabin up above timberline, comes close. Peace to you my friend.

Why on earth would you sell it? If you wanted to go there, go there. You don't need to retire somewhere you don't want to, just like your husband doesn't have to either.
@@hellomimibanana Our retirement doesn’t plan for 3 homes, just 2, which is primary residence and (now) a beach house. Besides, my husband has let me choose all the gorgeous properties we’ve owned.

I saw a comment about shoveling snow. When I lived in Alaska I found it very therapeutic to shovel the driveway. I had a snow blower but often I shoveled it. It was magic. The cabin you see here is luxury and looks very new with all the mod cons. Would be ideal. Even a more modest place is still heaven. What you are not seeing is the wildlife that passes by. Moose, birds squirrels occasional bear. It is heaven on earth.

I spent a part of my childhood in Alaska and I remember our hunting and fishing trips and living like this. That was before generators were available/affordable for regular people. I loved that life.
Good afternoon Debbie. I love those stories. I grew up on the outskirts of Nenana. We hauled our water from the creek, a mile or so away, we heated only with wood, and our only "plumbing" was an outhouse. My dad dug a 10-foot-deep hole down into the permafrost and covered it with an insulated cover. He put a ladder down into it and built shelves down there. That was our freezer during the summer months. I remember when we got our first generator. It was a 4-kW Witte. My mom was so happy. Of course we didn't call it "living off-grid" back then, it was just "living". Over a half century later I am still trying to get back to that simple way of life and I believe I will make it. Thanks for the memories. Peace.

You're right I think you can say that again, Hi how are you ?
I wish I can visit Alaska or any other state. I’ve been living in New York City my whole life. I’m kind of sick of living in a crowded environment. The only other states I’ve ever visited are Connecticut and Michigan. My dream state to move to is Hawaii. I prefer tropical and humid environments. But I’d love to visit Alaska one day and see the northern lights with my own eyes. There’s so much I want to see in this world before I go
Good morning. Thanks for watching. Alaska’s climate is dry and cool. It is pretty much opposite of Hawaii. That said, you should visit. It is big and beautiful. Who knows, you may just love it here
These are some survival skills. I would die the first day of cold, not knowing how to warm up the cabin. Love to watch and learn.
Good evening Raya. Thank you for watching. Many times I arrive at the cabin (in the winter) at very cold temperatures. The wind is often blowing very hard as well. I have redundant methods of quick fire starting because I have learned how important it is to have a reliable heat source. When I leave, I always make sure the fire-starting essentials are all prepared for my return. Peace.
I always forget that some people don't grow up in the middle of nowhere with extreme winters that require you learning these things. Sobering reminder that I have a lot more skills than I think I do.
Hardly survival, everything is in place, jyst walk in and light the fire
Simplicity, it's a great way to live. The special woman in my life lived in a semi truck in Alaska, on a route from Anchorage to a remote northern part of the state when she was married from 1981 until 1989. Her and I are natives of central Arizona and she never got used to living in Alaska. Thanks for sharing the video.
This how we lived until I was 13 yrs old! No TV -No Electricity -No Gas We had a huge cast iron stove, down comforters, a well and as much fresh game, berries, flora, fauna as we needed! Kerosene lanterns, fresh water supply from artisan wells, good food and few neighbours! A wonderful childhood spent in Northern British Columbia! We had a log cabin and every wall opened and became a pantry! Underground food storage and a smokehouse! Our dogs, 2 horses, 2 milk cows, 5 hens and 2 roosters provided for companionship and working needs! 1 bobcat that befriended us! Injured and my mother saved him! Timothy Tom was my 1 and only pet and best friend! A wonderful and Blessed childhood!
Hello Kathy! Greetings from Alaska. You make me want to hear more of your story. I grew up very much as you described. My father dug a deep hole outside the cabin that went down deep into the permafrost. He built a ladder down into it and put an insulated cover over the top. It had shelves all around at the bottom. That was our freezer during the summer months. He ran a trapline, hunted for our meat, fished for the salmon each summer and grew a garden. It was not an easy life but I loved it dearly. What was it about that kind of a life that was so satisfying to a child? Where do we find that quality of living in the world today?

Thanks for watching Valeria! I know many people like you that made their Alaskan dreams a reality. I know you can do it too. I will be posting weekly going forward. Thanks for being here. Stay in touch.
Whatever you do, stay away from Haines, Alaska. The worst place I've ever lived, by far...and I grew up in south Philly.....in fact, I'd stay away from all of southeast Alaska and start off in the Anchorage area. Especially around Palmer and Wasilla. Alaska is NOTHING like the lower 48. Also, it's full of EXTREMIST Republicans, just FYI. Not the friendliest place I've ever lived, that's for damn sure.
Lastly, be prepared for NONE of your friends to come see you more than once because travel to Alaska from the lower 48, SUCKS HARD!!!!
If all you're after is life off the grid like in this video, for the love 9f God start out in the Anchorage area first, spend a few years there and become accustomed to the different world that Alaska is, THEN decide if this is what you want.
I lived MANY years of my life across all of Alaska and to be perfectly honest, aside from not having the northern lights, you're WAY better off building off grid in one of the mountain states like Montana or Washington. I spent years after my Marine Corps tour was up, in Washington and boy oh boy was that a great place. Great mountains, plenty of off grid opportunities and best of all, always still close enough to hop in the car and go to the ocean or whatever floats your boat and several big airport opportunities for your friends to use when wanting to visit.
Just my two cents.... good luck and I hope you find what you're looking for.
Also, just remember, if you think you need to move to find happiness, you're not going to find it. You must be happy first then find a place you love to settle in.
🙏🖖✌
@@MichaelEgan66 Well, this extremist Republican would move there just to drive you nuts.

hey there Ron! Hello from Durango, CO. My Filipino wife ( a science teacher) and I live in the South Western Colorado mountains. She's always cold, haha. We're not off grid, but we enjoy the self sufficient life style of hunting elk, turkey, and deer, spending time cutting our own firewood, and we heat only with the wood stove to cut down on winter electric bills, and operating a saw mill so we can add onto the cabin as we want to. Green house will be complete soon. Got chickens and ducks, & 5 big dogs. haha.
but the best thing is being away from people and the hustle bustle of city life! (mostly that is, we still have a few crazy neighbors, as one would expect living up in the hills)
@@dgodrummer8110 Wow! Self sufficient life is very interesting to me! We live in the city and only visit our farm few times a week! We tried fishing not so much for hunting in our area.haha Hope to see some videos on how you operate a saw mill and your greenhouse.wow.just amazing!
Yes, I love this way of "silent" shooting. Your effort to setup cameras everywhere, so we the viewers can follow you on each of your chores is amazing. If possible, tell us a little bit about you and where the cabin is located. A big thank you from Fort Collins, CO!
Thanks for watching Luis! I have lived in Alaska over half a century. I grew up at an off-grid lodge run by my parents. We had no running water or electricity, and we heated only with wood.

So good to hear from you Michelle! Thank you for the kind message. Tanya and I are doing well. I miss creating videos so much and hope to get the chance to do it again soon. Please stay in touch.
@@ThisIsMyAlaskaHi Gail, it's so wonderful to hear from you! Thank you for the kind reply. You just made my week! 😊 I'm really looking forward to more of your videos. It brings me so much joy, peace and tranquility. ❤ Work has kept me pretty busy. Too much work and not enough R&R in my life lately. I daydream a lot about making a trip to Alaska to visit my brother and his family. Hopefully soon, it'll become a reality. God bless you and your beautiful family. Much love and prayers to you all. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻 ~Michelle~
All the best to you, Tanya and your family! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
It’s obvious that you do a great deal of editing in your videos. I for one appreciate it because I think it’s so beautiful and you do a fantastic job of documenting your lifestyle.
Thanks Dale! I am so glad you enjoy my work. Thank you for subscribing and commenting. I will do my best to respond to your questions and comments. Having conversations with people all around this world is one of my favorite thing about this hobby.
I know this guy!! He’s totally the real deal, no doubt !!! This stuff brings me so much joy !! Thank you for all the work that goes into it 👍
Well thanks for watching Stan, and thanks for the compliment! I am happy that you like my work
World's envey....this is my Alaska's pride....cant took of eyes watching all activities..gave me coolest sleep ever dreaming about sleeping in this warm home...love from Pune India
Aww,,, thanks Mahesh! Such kind words. I am so glad you enjoyed the cabin. Incidentally, the cabin is a wonderful place to get a good night's sleep. So quiet there.
My heart was craving for so long to enjoy this kinda video on youtube. I am so bored with typical content. So relaxing and cozy. 💙💙💙
I’m so pleased to hear this. Thank you my friend. Welcome to my cabin
This was my childhood dream. Pretty cool you're able to live it out. 🙂
Thank you my friend. Interestingly, this was my childhood dream as well. I have never really wanted anything else out of life. I don't think it gets much better honestly. Peace to you.
My dream too
Fingers crossed to one day to find myself mixed up in the magic of Alaska ~ this is so beautiful!
I hope so my friend. Peace.
@@ThisIsMyAlaska Thank you!! :) Cheers!
What a beautiful cabin!
So surreal and peaceful.
I grew up outdoors camping, fishing, hiking, boating, skiing, there's nothing quite like it, I absolutely love the outdoors.
I love the lighting that you put around your cabin the ambiance is so beautiful.
Thank you for sharing 🤓
Thank you my friend. I am so glad you enjoyed the cabin. We share a love for the great outdoors. Welcome to my channel. Peace to you from Alaska.
Yeah you can say that again, Hi how are you ?
Your love and dedication for, both, Alaska and cinematography ought to be commended. There are only a few men of your caliber. Living in the extreme cold conditions of Alaska in winter is not easy, as it requires one to expend much energy just in keeping himself warm. Kudos to you.
Thank you David. Peace
@@MakeB711 Hello my friend. I would be happy to discuss your questions and try to provide some answers. There are resources I would direct you to in regards to finding and purchasing remote property. This particular property does not have property tax but many other pieces will. There are few rules for construction of a single-family homes built outside of the cities. Building a cabin takes a time commitment and a some money too. There are lots of things that have to be purchased. That said, I think it is a middle-class kind of thing, a dream in reach of many people if they want it bad enough. If you want more information feel free to drop me an email. thisismyalaskalife@gmail.com. I will do my best to answer your questions. Peace.
Очень интересное видео. Приятно смотреть на трудолюбивого мужчину. У вас очень уютный и красивый дом!!!
Всех благ вам вашей семье!
Привет с Украины 🙂🇺🇦
I lived in AK for 2 years. One day, I’ll move back into my own cabin. The most beautiful place on earth.
Good evening Rob. I hope you do find your way back to Alaska. There is no place on earth I would rather be.
what you need in alaska

Man s best friend and nobody to answer up too! next tome Sir slap some butter on the toast! Enjoy the journey and kiss your loyal pooch for us!!!! God bless you both!!!
I lived in Alaska for a couple years and can say it’s the best state in the Union by far. I remember these days. Love it.
except for the serial killers
@@scroogemcduckrich9705 are there a lot of killers
They literally pay you once a year for literally existing
Yes Alaska is amazing
Very Nice, Love the simplicity and pureness of it.
The lights on the house after hooking up the generator are fabulous.
Stay well and thanks for posting.
William
It looks very peaceful and your house looks really cozy and lovely!! 🤩
You're an inspiration. I've always wanted this type of life style, reminds me of my childhood in a small village. I'm in my late 20s, but plan on building a log cabin somewhere in Alaska after a saving up money. And peace to you from Tenn.
Take guns!!!!
i wish u well my friend
I'm from Tennessee. Didn't know we had villages here. Hmmm.
Never have lived in such place but still getting some sense of nostalgia. Great watch 👍
Thank you for watching friend. Peace to you from Alaska
@@ThisIsMyAlaska what about coochie?
Love this cabin and it’s simplicity. I have been to Alaska and it is every bit of beautiful as he has shared with us all. Can’t wait for another video!!
Thanks for your comment Renee! I love how those of you who have been to Alaska recognize the feel and familiarity of the country. I posted my second video tonight.
Yeah that's true, Hi how are you Renee ?
I loved this video it’s definitely a mindset set I feel sort of the same but here in England 🇬🇧 peace is a beautiful thing God bless you my friend & your dog ❤️
Thank you for watching and taking time to leave a comment. Peace is a beautiful thing indeed. Blessings to you you and yours my friend.

@@mirzaahmed6589 it’s not polite to correct someone, although I might be guilty of this myself.
Watching from Northern Idaho. This looks like a dream come true to me! Thank you for sharing your gift!
So much comfort in watching this video. Its like every last thing I ever wanted in my life. You are so blessed to have all this. So much Inner peace and outer peace. I Will give anything to have this. Stay safe. Awaiting another vedio to see the lovely surroundings.
Well thank you Samantha! I am so glad you enjoyed the video and that the feel of the place came through to you. I love that part of your comments. I will be posting each Friday. You will meet my wife in this next video. Enjoy
watching all that snow in the burning weather of Egypt makes me wanna cry.
I wish I can live in that place!
Good afternoon my friend. I don't think I would survive the hot Egyptian weather. You called it 'burning"! That is far too warm for me. My favorite season is the wintertime. I have lived here over 50 years now and still love everything about it. Peace.
The beginnings of a great story. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Hey there Steve! Thanks for watching. I am super excited to share the country and the life that I love so much. I think this will be a great adventure for all of us.
Thank you for a glimpse into your world.. watching from the
🇺🇲Navajo Nation, Arizona🇺🇲
You are welcome my friend. Blessings to you
I hope you are doing better in the Navajo Nation. We heard here in New Zealand you were having a hard time with COVID. Much aroha (love) and respect to you and yours, and I hope things are improving.
@@drmimzz309 thank you for reaching out concerning the pandemic.. yes it was bad seeing a lot of our elders suffering with sickness.. thank God it has died down and easing up some.. we are still on lockdown and curfew.. hopefully all those responsible will be brought to justice. My people have suffered and faced many challenges throughout history..
🇺🇲God Bless You🇺🇲
@@americannavajopatriot9412 That’s heartbreaking!💔
Many blessings and returns to you and yours. Those responsible will be held accountable. As a fellow Patriot, it’s our duty and responsibility to our future generations to fight back against this tyranny.
My husband Robert Turcotte, and he told me to watch your video. It is so cool, love the wilderness, and peacefulness. You are truly living a beautiful life! Glenys ✌🤗
Good morning. Thanks for watching. I am glad you and your husband are enjoying my videos. l appreciate your kind words.
So peaceful. I just want to cozy up by the fire after a day of chores with a cup of tea and a good novel with my pup by my side. What else does one need? So simple and satisfying. Thanks for the tour.
Thanks for watching Erica!
Well, scotch. But yes, agreed.
@@keithgrandstaff6343 I wouldn't say no to a lil whisky in my tea once in a while.
This is heartwarming. I love AK spent some time in Seward, cold country warm hearts, Love from Scotland.
Nature makes the best music. Natural sounds always calm my mind. Thank you for a wonderful time.🙏🏽
You are welcome. Thanks for taking the trip to the cabin.
Love that Iron Griddle! Food sounds and looks so good
Thanks for watching Chadwick. That is a well-seasoned cast iron griddle she is using. It is a favorite of ours.
Beautiful.I love the solitude and peace all around.Nature is breathtakingly grand.
Why u like solitude. We live joint family and everytime we feel happy.how u alive with loveliness?.
Loneliness.
I just never get tired of watching your videos. This one is a real blast from the past. thank you so much.
Cool. I don't like cold weather, so my imagined version of this would be a hut on a desert island. The good news is, we can make our lives more peaceful, self sufficient, and "unplugged" wherever we are. Even if it's in small ways, there are things we can do right now if we want to make a change to our lifestyle. 😁👍
Great point. Unfortunately, I've gotta wait a few more years, 6 to be exact, till I retire and my wife and I want to sell it all and live in something on wheels and travel the US. Hope your life is giving you all the best!

Now see I can live off grid like that for the winter and being alone just makes it even better!!! Nice set up you have there!!! ❤️it
Good afternoon. I have many friends and acquaintances that live off grid here and have done so for years. I grew up here (over 50 years ago) at a remote lodge that was completely off grid. Of course that was back before we called it "off-grid". Back then we just called it "living". We heated with wood, hauled our water from the creek a mile away, and used the old outhouse. It was wonderful and simple. I still love everything about it. Peace.
He was not alone he had some else filming him
So sweet I think you can say that again lol , Hi how are you crystal ?
@@connerpoul6630 I don't think so, it's all tripod mounted.
This is absolutely amazing. I would take living in a log cabin in Alaska over living in some lavish luxury house in Malibu anyday. This is definitely my kind of scene.
Gorgeous cabin, great lifestyle, great dinner with a good companion. Enjoy my friend you’re living the dream!
Im living in tropis country, cant imagine life without sun.. But i love this video sooo much
Love to you from Alaska
@@ThisIsMyAlaska wooww thx u for your time.. I from borneo island in indonesia, in here very hot everyday
Very Nice
beautiful nature and faithful pet ❤. that is enough for his life😍 rather than 100 people
Greetings from across the ocean, Durban, South Africa 🌞🇿🇦🌞Thank you for this wonderful video. You live in a beautiful part of the world
Wow! That's so far away. Thanks for watching Anita, and thanks for your kind words. Hugs from Alaska
Hello guys! Arctic circle girl here 🤗 me and my husband have a similar routine as yours, right now we re in the polar nights in arctic Norway but is so cozy being inside with fire in the oven, good food and music , i honestly couldn't be any more happy. Love your channel!
Hello Amanda! So good to hear from you. Thanks for watching our channel. I agree with you. I find great peace in the solitude here. It is my favorite place on earth.
I think we are going to need you to get a RUclips channel up and running lol - it’s sounds so cosy 🥰
@@cheche2181 Some of my friends suggested me this but im such a shy girl especially with cameras 😁.Arctic Norway is a beautiful place and it's very much alike Alaska. Love this peace and tranquility.
I want to escape from all stress and pressure (work)and live in calm place

I also want to flyoff in different world

Супер, все удобства для комфортного отдыха, браво хозяину, любит порядок!!!
Удобство, комфорт, да.. Но дом построен тупо для того, чтобы приехать, максимум переночевать и уехать.
Во первых нужен ТАМБУР. Без тамбура - отапливаешь улицу.
Во вторых.. ну газ, электричество, холодильник.. это вообще не "дикий" отдых.
Отдых обеспеченного человека, который этот дом использует тупо снимать ролики, и это грустно.
It's a beautiful, nature-friendly channel.
You look so happy living in nature.
It's a great video.
I'm glad to be your best channel friend.
Have a lively Sunday.
🤗🤗🤗🤙🤙👌💯💯
Thanks so much for watching!
This is my idea of living..The quietness and serenity of nature.. Away from crazy people and the everyday BS..Sign me up!
This place is just outta this world man you are lucky 😻
Just remember, people make their own luck. The harder I work the more luck I have.
