I am 41 years old single and thinking of moving to Alaska and buying acreage somewhere that is property tax free. You are very inspiring to me. Sometimes I am too scared to do it alone, but after watching you it gives me confidence. I already split my own wood in a rural mountain area and taught this to myself(reluctantly lol), and so I am confident in some ways, but not confident in other ways.
P.S. I was raised by a dad that told me to always find a man to change a battery and do everything else and shamed me for being a female that wanted to learn because I am not supposed to, and I am slowly trying to get out of that because it didn't really help me in life it only caused me to be scared of everything, lack confidence, feel dumb, and ending up asking predatory types for help that wanted to take advantage of me because my father never lived in the same state to ask for help in changing a battery or other "manly" stuff.
P.P.S. I want to learn as much as possible and be able to depend on myself you know? I personally believe every human on this earth should learn how to be like this in case they are stuck somewhere during a emergency alone or something. Its not like these societal labels always existed they are man made. Animals in the wild(both sexes) know how to survive. Female lions hunt for their whole family while the male lion guards his territory and cubs, and I think humans are more like animals in the wild since they are carnivores. If believing this makes me a evil female then that is someone else's opinion and issue not mine.
Some people live in societal boxes/labels and expect everyone else to and I just don't want to you know? If someone wants to be like that then that's their right I just don't want to live like that. I just want to be free, learn and be me! I am not hurting anyone for wanting to make it in this world and be confident in myself. You are awesome. I just want to learn about tools and everything else and be like you. Thanks!
I apologize for the lengthy rant. LOL
Hi SarahNorman. About that no property tax bit, I am in the matnauska susitna burrough and we have property taxes here, but the taxes are fairly low. My taxes for 8 acres of undeveloped land was about $400 per year till I managed to prove I'm here for good. Am 68 and I get something like a $250,000 in valuation exemption for my age. If you have a disability rating you may qualify for the exemption. $400 is about the value of a cord of seasoned mixed spruce and birch
Nice book !! 😤😁
☺️☺️🕊️
Hi Sara! I can understand the fear of doing things alone, but from the sounds of it, you are pretty much already living this lifestyle where you're at! That is something to be very proud of. And I know what you mean about being taught to rely on others, which can leave you feeling like you lack the skills or knowledge of how to do things that you have never had the opportunity to do before. I learned a lot from watching RUclips and from the reference books that I have acquired over the years. I hope that you get to live the life you desire and get to be free as you stated to live the way you see best, and not be constrained with what society expects. Wishing you all the best! - Alone & Kenai 🤗🐺💗
Woman can do too much, what you want is strong determinations, courages and bravery , the rests are your wonderful journey
Good lucks the bests year in year out , you can do it
I am a quilter and love your quilt you hung, every quilt has a story. My husband 1968 Sourdough got me watching your videos. Just a caution on the hung quilt, wherever the front of the quilt is touched by the wood can leave stains. Might consider draping the quilt over the wood banister with the cotton sheet touching the wood. where you have it clipped between the boards holding the quilt, I suggest you envelope the quilt front and back with the cotton fabric to give more protection for the quilt.
I have a treadle sewing machine in the cabinet too. I admire your channel and lifestyle although I too love antiques, I love more comforts 😂
I will be watching you in the future, great channel!
Jesus the carpenter would be proud of your work & skills.
He sings you such pretty songs. 😄
Hi Alone! I know I've been missing in action. I lost my Sheltie, Bode (like Brody without the R) in September of 23. I just didn't want to talk about it. A painful loss. Now I'm 'alone' like you. I love seeing you wih Kenai. So very sweet. At 62 I'm wondering if I should get another pup. Think I need to...I'm contemplating retiring soon and a dog may be the right fit to keep me active. Glad you are doing well. Give Kenai a hug from me!
You need a dog. They are magic to the soul.
So glad Kenai is recovering well, as well as yourself. Hugs and love to him. ❤
I live in the middle of Scottsdale Arizona, on a wash and I get the coyotes howling outside my second story bedroom window on occasion. When they do, I get on the balcony and shine a super bright flash light in their general direction as they are always in the trees and they stop immediately and saunter off down the street. Once I saw three of them get chased by two big Javelina boars. They weren't gonna mess with the pigs...so funny to witness.
THESE ARE THE VIDEOS,I REALLY LOVE….THE TRANSFORMATION OF YOUR HOME,ROOM BY ROOM!!!!!!!!👍🙂💞
Yep. It's breakup. Nice photography.
I really enjoyed your videos. I have watched some of your videos and interested in watching more videos of your journeys. ❤
You could flip the quilt over the railing when the railing is completed.
You are a brave woman‼️
You the deal love it
Glad Kenzie is on the mend! The old sewing machines are awesome!
Mmmmm! Oxtails.
I love Kenai 💓💓💓Such a special and intense life you live there…very envious.
Please put vertical supports behind that hutch, too, floor to ceiling, OR, attach brackets to those big beams. In the event of a quake, that sucker could fall over backwards. After living in the PNW & CA for years, I am always conscious of how easily things can shift even with just tremors.
Coyotes are new to Alaska. They started showing up in SE in the early 1900s. They have now spread to 85% of the state.
Great video! Love your channel. ❤😊🌹
Both interesting and entertaining..
🩷💙
I live in a suburban ohio town and we have coyotes really bad here. The real estate people recently destroyed their habitat so they are everywhere the poor things. I have an 18lb cavalier and I worry about letting her out at night, so i always go out with her. When my husky was alive i'd only let her out without me when he was out too, but now she doesn't have a protector. For your sewing machine, you can make a thread hanger and sit your thread on the table. it's really easy you just take a piece of wire and put a bend in it, and secure it to something. I've got mine shoved down into a roll of packing tape lol. then you sit your thread under it and drape the thread over the wire and then thread your machine as usual. it works great! google cone thread hanger and you'll see what i mean.
Look forward to more work on the cabin and of course seeing more Kenai!! He’s the best companion!!!🤗❤️
They must be hungry that's why they come close I suppose? Nice cabin you have and love your dog too, thanks for sharing your unique life with us
Hi Alone!😊I was able to watch your entire video after work tonight! Always enjoy your updates! I have a ton of coyotes here in Maine too.🤦♀️
Great Herb book my daughter has one that I barrowed.. Great information...
Lord, lots that you have gotten done... nothing like an organized multi craft work room...
Glad Kenai is feeling better! ❤️LOVE seeing him in your videos!❤️🐕❤️
We have a plague of flies here in Texas too! 😞
Dang girl in the spring time you either need to get a airboat or a hoover craft to get around with all the water laying around 😮
Glad your pooch is better 😊
I just found your channel and I’m so glad I did. You have an interesting way of life and look forward to following you. ❤
Hi Alone. So glad all
Pets and your friends are on the mend. Life is so short. I’m definitely learning this the older I get. Everything is looking great. I love butchers block anything lol. ❤. Thanks for the shoutout. I do hope you love trying all the different hot sauces. Some I’ve actually not ever tasted. 🤤. Have a wonderful weekend sweet Alone! Love the Caribou hide!
Your stew looks wonderful!
I appreciated the part where you were talking about why you didn't wear gloves when using the drill press. My husband was just talking about this with our oldest son while working on the bus the other day. I was able to rewind and show him that part of your video to SHOW him why. Thank you for that! ❤ The soup looked delicious!
love this video
Your soup looks delicious, my dad always put pearl barley in with it. That reminds me of my dad and I miss his soup.
Loved the video❤😂🎉
Its funny how she doesn't notice that her drill bits are as dull as can be. As soon as it touched the wood you should see wood chips flying, if it was sharp!
Beautiful beautiful Alaska!! I'm thankful Kenai is all better!! I sure like how that antique desk turned out!! Wow your grandma's quilt is sure a treasure, it's beautiful!! I have some of my grandma's and great grandma's quilts. I love that caribou hide. I have some hides too. Love love the bloopers!! Kenai is so funny howling with the coyotes. 🤗🤗Hugs and Kisses to Kenai. Take care and God Bless you and Kenai always❤💙❤
Wow! That desk looks great! You did a great job. I'm sure it will come in handy since it's so bog.
I just love, love, love your videos. You are one strong woman. Just spending time with you is a joy. You are my Hero. Hugs❤
Howdy..I love your channel and have had dreams of Alaska as you have had and made reality. Watching your videos I often wish I could jump through the screen and help/handle it for you.Keep these videos coming for us wishing we lived in Alaska! Great content and very well done.
Good Evening Alone and Kenai, So happy for you to get your sewing room all set up. And how clever of you to assemble that piece. It really does look like it was meant to be for the planned usage. I hope your neighbor heals quickly. So glad that you're there for them right now. Looking forward to seeing some of your sewing projects too. I bet there'll be lots of green shoots coming up by next week's video..
Ill bet your grandma never thought that quilt would be hanging in a cabin in Alaska!
I have had great success fixing plastic with super glue and baking soda. Put the pieces together use a generous amount of super glue and sprinkle baking soda on top of glued area. It will fuse it together really well and can be sanded once set. I’ve done this to repair refrigerator door shelving and it hasn’t failed at all. I would think it could work to fix your plastic spool post. Good luck!
Hi Jennifer! Thank you for the suggestion; I might give that a try as I had seen it used before but had completely forgotten about it. If I do, I will let you know how it turns out. 🤗🐺💗
I call the mosquitoes in Alaska, Jurrasic Mosquitoes. Those up there are way worse than down here in Alabama.
You’re amazing! That’s a doozy of a project and it’s so fun watching you master it. I appreciate how cognizant you are of safety issues. We want you safe! 👍
Have a great day
Such a great transformation. Well done!
Glad you liked the end result! It feels so much better when everything has a home. I love to be organized. Hope you're doing well and enjoying spring. 🤗🐺💗
My husband has buckets and cans along with other containers of saved hardware. My dog joined in with Kenai howling at the coyotes. I have a sewing room that is in desperate need of cleaning and organizing. Every time I get it to where I want it one of my kids move in for awhile. I think I’m safe to clean it again. Take care and thank you for another great video.
Good look at the melting snow there in Alaska and the cabin looks great. Yes watch out for those coyotes. Be safe by protecting you and Kenai from them.
Hi Alone! Good to hear Kenai is feeling better. It's always nice to check some projects of your to do list. Beautiful quilt, great idea to hang it up. The soup for your friend looked delicious! Great gifts you recieved in the mail. Hope you have a great week, see you on the next one!
Very good video and thank you much 😅
Well, I'm glad the fur baby is doing better. Wow that is a beautiful hide.
Love love love you and kenai❤
I don't comment much and sometimes I have to play catch up due to time. But, I'm still here watching. I just love your videos. You are so self sufficient. So independent and extremely well prepared at all times it seems. Your talent and ability to make, build, redo all things in your cabin are admiral in my opinion. Especially living in a dry cabin and with little to no electrical. Do you even have a workable t.v. ? Anyway, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Even your voice is relaxing to listen to. Your preparedness in all things but especially food storage is remarkable. It seems like you always have exactly what you need to prepare your wonderful meals. You are just amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your unique and beautiful life with all of us. Blessing to you and your beautiful K. All the way from Arkansas I'm still enjoying.
Sorry I haven't been around for a while but Chewie & I have been gone. We would love to move up there to help you with your projects where you need help. 😊 😜
Man, that's a project!! And the soup looks delish! Yay on your grandmother's quilt. The sewing room is looking ship shape. We'll done, you! Hello Kenai.👍🇨🇦😎🐾💫
Alone, you are amazing. You are a go getter. I love your project videos. The cabin is coming along. I can't wait to see more. So great you've created friends. That makes me feel better for you being there alone. Be safe. See you next week.
Kenai looks so shiny and healthy!! Happy spring!
love your sewing/armoury room.
soup looks amazing.
Girlpower, we can when we want to. Guess you will enjoy your new work place for years to come. So nice of you to make your friend a soup. Looks delicious. I have just some small spots of snow left in my garden today. Been out doing small things, like cleaning the patio furniture, raking the dead areas of the lawn, and fastening screws on the outside table. I put branches that fell down during the winter, and off cuts of the willow to continue building my dead hedge fence. It looks so rustic and nice. My sister just called, she is 10 minutes away, have to run around like a tornado, and put some lipstick on, didnt expect anyone... remote living! 😂
Great Carpentry-Cabinetry lesson ! 😉😁
Keep thriving dear !
No hides please !😮😁
The Last Frontier 🇺🇸 !! 💪✊❤️🔥
👍👍
Put the soil off thread in a mug and put the mug behind the machine. Then you can thread the machine as normal.
I am so thankful you fixed your step s!!
Hi Alone, You have such perseverance with projects. I admire you.
Your sewing room turned out well. Your kraft soup looks delicious. I'm glad that people in the neighborhood can help you and you can help them.
❤🎉
I like it when Kenai looks out the car window.
Your first strawberry plant has managed to present itself. I wish you finally spring and send you love from Italy.❤🎉
Good video. The oxtail soup looked yummy. My Dad had one of his hides tanned and made into gloves for my Mom, myself and for himself. They are so beautifully soft. It's above 70 degrees here. The warmest day yet, I have my windows open and enjoy hearing all the birds. Be safe 💖😊
PS. I love oxtail !!!’…lol
Karen from Florida 🌴💕
Great video! I’m so glad Kenai is doing better!!!
Hi Alone the room is looking good it will be perfect for a sewing/craft room. That old desk is cool you are sure good at fixing things up. Beautiful quilt deplay
Really well-made video. Thank you for sharing your life.
Wow, you got a lot done in this video!! Fun to watch!
Wowsers, that room looks fab. Love the old sewing machine. Pretty cool I have a couple old ones too, cheers 🇨🇦🌷
Love the old desk make over
Wonderful video. Kove the drill press and you are right never wear gloves whilee operating spnny/swirly tools. Love the quilt, the gun cleaning station is a good fit. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
I understand what you are saying about being so far behind from an injury. I was that way last year. This year seems to be going so much smoother and easier. Prayers for your sick friend. See you next time.
Love your grandmas quilt! I am finishing a single Irish chain for my best friend that I did in greens. Quilts say love to me.
Well done - You're a very resourceful lady with good knowledge on your environment, Good to see you're regularly packing heat as those Grizzly's (fortunately not in my country) I understand have a habit of suddenly being in front of you
Cheers from NZ
Good Afternoon Aloneand Kenai, I'm so happy that Kenai is feeling better i was worried about him. He is such a sweet boy i enjoyed watching your video I'm always happy when I see you uploaded looking forward to seeing more of your projects. I hope your friend is doing well and your family and extended friends. Love the way you do your videos you have a talent that is for sure. stay safe 💐
First time watcher. Love you fur baby.
Great video! Love your projects! Scritches to Kenai!
I'm sorry you broke your foot!! I did mine about 10 years ago,still hurts sometimes.You are the real ' pioneer ' woman!!
Great video! Stay safe. Prayers for your family and friends. Peace
New to your channel. You are so adventurous. Going to go back to see how you started. Looking forward to your adventure
Karen from Florida 🌴💕
You accomplished so much! Great job and enjoyed the video. Val C
Amazing!
Glad your pup is feeling better. Coyotes are a pain and they’re everywhere nowadays! I live in town in North Alabama (my son lives in Wasilla) and coyotes regularly come up under my carport looking for stray cats.
Gloves offer a false sense of security. Almost lost my right ring finger because of a glove mandate at work. The proper type of glove is also key. I was wearing a synthetic woven type glove. It snagged on bolt and I could not get away from a rather large (1 ton) portion of a machine. As the section fell it sucked me straight to the floor consequently crushing my finger. Safety is judged by those who know very little about the task at hand most of the time.
We have lots of coyotes here in the Northern MN woods, and they drive Greta crazy! She barks and runs around, then runs back to the house barking and yipping. She and Ruger caught and killed a gopher yesterday. That's one less I have to battle with in my garden. 😂 I'm so glad Kenai it's doing better. Ruger and Greta send him face licks and tail wags!
Hi Diana! Hope you, Dan and all the pups are doing well! I am glad that Kenai doesn’t seem to pay too much attention to the coyotes or wolves. He will growl at them but doesn’t bark or get super excited like he does when he sees another dog. But then again maybe if he saw them he would. They tend to stay just out of eyesight. Glad the dogs are keeping the gophers in check for you! Kenai sends face licks and tail wags to Greta and Ruger too! 🤗🐾❤️
Oh my how in earth did you haul all that heavy furniture upstairs. You are so amazing & this area is going to be so nice once you get it sat up the way you want. Myself I would want my sewing & workshop on ground level. I can’t do stairs anymore so that is a huge issue as we age. I have 2 types of arthritis. My RA is a huge issue I’m only 62. GOD BLESS
Thanks for another great video. Fully enjoyed . Glad Kenai is doing great. Lost my Kona and missed her so much.😔
Hi Ruby! I am so sorry to hear about Kona! I know she is surely missed. 😔
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska thanks, cry every day since when I get ready to do stuff with or for her and she isn't there. It gets better a little each day since.
Another great video. Ok I have to ask what is Oxtail Stew? Looks good. Be on a look out for your Spring Care Package. 📦It will arrive on May 5th. Glad Kenai is feeling better. 💖🤗🐶
Hi Carri Ann! Oxtails are just the tail of cattle. They are very rich and if cooked slowly are very tender. Though they don't have a lot of meat on them. And considering the small amount of meat on each bone, they are very costly at the store. Such a shame since they are so delicious! The soup/stew is basically just beef/vegetable soup (or stew minus the thickening). It is very tasty and hardy. I will keep my eye out for the care package. Thank you for thinking of me and Kenai. He is definitely feeling much better. 🤗🐺💗
Great progress. And the food looks delicious. The quilt looks wonderful !
Hi Weedeater! It is good to have another room checked off the to do list. One day I will get the walls and ceilings done too. The soup is basically just a beef/vegetable soup or stew minus the thickening but is very tasty. And so glad to have the quilt on display. Hope you are doing well and enjoying spring! 🤗🐺💗
I ❤️ McCarthy.
You probably already know, but...if you slip in those socks toward that "railing" upstairs, you will be right over the edge. "Stay safe and take care!"
I’m in South Dakota and our flies bite!
Great video! Thank you so much for the shout out!
Thanks, Scott! And you're most welcome! Thanks again for the fabulous book! 🤗🐺💗
Don't you just love spring break-up.
😢.
I'm surprised you've kept your sanity Kitten after all this time alone.
Looks like you need a drill bit sharpener.
