      Just the Alaskan way. Butter is tricky, but I’ve heard of root beer float drops… that would be amazing.

    I'm new to your channel. I served in a Bible camp in the summer of 2022 on the Kenai Peninsula. It was very rewarding and humbling. I miss the children campers and staff. It was hard to leave and return to the lower 48. I fell in love with Alaska.
    Originally, I asked the Lord, I want to be a Bible counselor but not in Virginia. I asked Him to open the door I would step through. He did. And in less than a month I was on an airplane to Alaska! ✝️🙏❤️

    you can get the disposables as full you jsut have to purge. regardless the most efficient way is to buy the hose adapter and run a bigger tank.

      Yup just checking back into RUclips. This was filmed in May. The sabbatical was an amazing time as a family. More of that to come. Just trying to get caught up on the footage from this summer. Should be able to get back to the cabin on snow machines in about a month.

    ❤Way, way, way back in the days of my childhood, I went to a place called Victory Bible Camp. Can't remember exactly where it was located in Alaska, but it was about horses and Jesus. I was the only Native girl there and was severely lost. One of the men said, "Jesus is coming back again." And I believed!! So, this is a thankful, grateful, shout out to all the men who serve the Lord, who don't give up on lost little children, God bless you!!

      Praise the Lord. Any chance you burned your name or initials in the wall in the Ranch Hotel? Would love to make a connection with that for you. We have been around Victory here since 2002, but still have connections with the Ranch leaders from the beginning. What year range would you have been here?

      ​@@makingitinalaska It was so long ago. I think it was maybe 1970-ish? Looking back at the face of the man in my memory, he was a very young man with blonde hair and blue eyes. Altho, at the time, I thought he was old!! I never wrote or burned my name on anything, nor remember anyone doing that. My horse's name was LightFoot. Not really mine, but I fell in love with that horse!!! He was black and spirited, and dancy-prancy, and I loved him so much❤

      @@shiammi907 That is great. Would have been the early days of Ranch camp, and likely the hotel didnt exist yet. Campers for decades have branded their name in the wall of that lodge when they make a salvation decision while at camp. Tim was likely the horse guy. I still see him regularly. I will ask him if he remembers Lightfoot. So great to hear stories of God at work through this ministry. There have been so many stories since as well. Blessings to you.

      ​@@makingitinalaska During the last breakfast at Victory Bible Camp, a red bandana was given to me as an award for being the best all around horseback rider...but it really wasn't me that deserved it. It was Lightfoot with his liveliness that made me look good. Pretty sure all the other horses were more docile. I hope the man named Tim remembers him!! That would thrill me to no end🙏🏽The Good Lord bless all of you!!💖

    what was the tape you used around the door and windows????

    • @makingitinalaska
      @makingitinalaska  13 дней назад +1

      It is a flexible door and window tape made to water seal. It’s tar based. Tape it in a way that water will always shed down, and no tape on the bottom in case any water got in before it it would be able to drain out. Trim and siding then will go over all of this hopefully this winter.

      Perfect. Then I can put him on my wall… we do have quite a few bear in the area, but they don’t like people and are rarely drawn to people food like they are in populated areas. That is the reason for the plywood we use to shutter the doors and windows. But after a couple of years of owning this cabin nothing has tried to break in.
