We are building an off grid homestead on a remote island in southeast Alaska. Our goal is to become more self sufficient and self reliant buy growing our food, raising our own food and though hunting and fishing.
We put videos out every Sunday on RUclips to bring you a little slice of Alaska.
If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment or send me a message
No need to apologize you both have had a rough go of it this year. I would tune in each week just to watch the chickens and dogs and you two chatting about daily chores.I really enjoy your channel and I thank you for taking us along on your journey. I really hope 2024 is all you hope for.
I do miss your wood stove Wednesdays.
Yup
Thank you
Your videos are never dull to us! We love Southeast Alaska and enjoy watching your life on the island.
Awesome! Thank you!
Brother, we all need a break. You and your wife need one after this last year. Building videos would be awesome. I'm currently building a homestead in Montana.
That’s awesome. One of my best friends from high school bought a small farm in Montana. I need to stop by for a visit.
Such a great video!! I am so sorry 2023 was so hard on you 💔 I am looking forward to all you have to share with us in 2024 ❤️
Thank you
Thank you.
Hard year last year, I think getting marching orders for a greenhouse and getting out an enjoying life sounds like the prefect plan…
ENJOY
ALL THE BEST…
No apologies necessary. We look forward to all of your posts so we can live vicariously through your videos of wonderful Alaska. If I was younger, I would buy that cabin for sale on a neighboring island I saw. From what we have seen, the Juneau area is beautiful and temperate. You guys continue to Live Free and may God bless you.
I appreciated hearing the update on your family. I knew your dad was not doing well but was not aware that he had passed. A lot of smiles and appreciation to your family for often folding me in as I grew up. I stayed up new year's eve not to welcome 2024 in but to make sure 2023 was gone. Hoping 2024 is kinder. Rob R.
It was wonderful seeing you both out enjoying the sun! We finally are settle into our little place. Can’t wait to start some gardening too. Best wishes to you both!
Thanks for the recap, update and future plans. Wood stove Wednesday would be cool again. I will be heading up in April. So excited!
Alaska is excited for you as well
@@NotSoRemoteAlaska Thanks Michael
Let us know when you are coming. Maybe we could meet up. Weather is still hit or miss in April, just FYI.
@@AnAlaskaHomesteadI should be flying into Anchorage on the 4th Of April. I will catch the train north out of Talkeetna for an overnight on Saturday. After that I am open. Leaving on Tuesday.
To be honest, I really enjoy your everyday life, and I don’t consider it to be mundane or repetitive. You show how challenging it can be to live the off grid lifestyle that you both love so much. Part and parcel with that is family situations and injuries.
I love building videos, and building a greenhouse would be so cool. Life can change plans in a heartbeat. You are living the dream and are kind enough to bring us along. 😊
I really hope that the dark storm cloud parked over you guys and health issues has moved on. I'm here for the long haul so you put out the videos at your place, no matter if short or long just as long as you guys stay healthy. Thank you for taking us along on your adventures
Thanks, I would rather see something than nothing. ✌🏻👊🏼
Ya know I just don't understand. Fairbanks is in a deep freeze. Yet Michigan is warmer than ever. No snow, no ice, we're becoming tropical. Haven't been on my sled (snowmobile) in 2 years. Always following and I hope your plans work out. All of them. 😜 Living free.
❤God's blessings always, 🙏 you both are doing great. Progress & taking care of yourselves & family can sometimes seem hectic! Our sisters & brothers Veterans have a reply when we greet. We meet & exchange greetings Hello, how are you? Reply: Well I woke up on the right side of the grass & this is everything ❤keep on plugging, keep pressing forward , keep fighting the good fight 💪 God bless America, life & liberty.
Hey guys! Enjoyed the video. I live in Nikiski on the peninsula. I can so relate with your winter boredom! 😂
I can tell you both have a little spring fever! Looking forward to the warmer weather and longer days! Not long now! Keep your chins up, and thanks for sharing!
Sounds like a good plan....I'm looking forward to your adventure trips!
Do you have a two year supply of firewood? Do you have a firewood shed?
Diane, you are such a strong woman and had a horrible 2023. This year live your lives to the fullest. Even see you problem solving issues with water in your fuel is educational. Love you videos. Enjoy 2024
Loved the opening and music! It's been a hard year for you guys. 💘 Thank you for opening up and sharing about your parents, Diana. Greenhouse and boat adventures sounds like an awesome plan. I love your area but you two are just really enjoyable people, as you are.👍😎🇨🇦💜💚
We appreciate getting to see your videos anytime you can put them out. We,too, have had a tough 2023 with health problems but thankfully they are resolved now and we are looking forward to a better year in 2024. Do you worry about bears climbing onto your boat and destroying it ? I’ve seen folks drive nails in a 2x10 board to keep bears away. Maybe you could do that around the boat. Stay safe and God bless.
Beautiful views as always. Vitamin D is so great when you get it from the sun. Good habit’s Nothing wrong with that.👊Life will always be a struggle no matter what life you live, testing us constantly. We’re all terminal we just don’t know when our time or family members time will come.🙏 I think time is truly the most precious thing to me.❤️
I’m praying you two will have the best year ever..!!
A green house 😮 And the mill going, right on I can’t wait. You guys inspire so many people, what an amazing life you two have.
The new boat trips will be so much fun. I will watch that..!! Right….. I don’t feel that old in my mind but When I think I’m closer to 60 than 50 now, I’m like what happened.😂
Have a absolutely wonderful week you two..!!
Good talking with you today. Hope you have a great week too.
Oh it’s so wonderful to see you both, and your videos are never ever boring. Any content you show is great and we all are so very grateful that you share them with us. Knowing the struggles you both deal with living on your beautiful island and caring for your loved ones are very interesting to us. Never ever think you are boring us please?
Looking forward to seeing your adventures no matter what they may be because we love them all. May God bless you and yours and keep you safe,
With love from your biggest fans. ❤🙏🏻🇺🇸
Thanks Cynthia. We really appreciate it.
Any content you put out is good content. It is always worth the wait. I do hope 2024 is easier than last year for you all. It seems like my husband and i have had almost 10 years of getting hit. I really have to look at all the good things that have also happened or the weight of everything would be to much. We went out to dinner tonight with our 3 kids ( sounds weird when i say that when our oldest is 44 and our youngest is 35 ) 😅and our 3 grandsons. Our first grandchild turned 16 today !!! It will be strange because i have always drove him around when his parents couldn’t and now he will be driving hisself. Life goes by really fast. Have a Great week and Thanks for sharing.
No matter who you are, life can get us by the short and curlies. You both recognise there’s memories to make and adventures to be had, before you can’t. I love that. Where you live is breathtakingly beautiful and exciting. You are a fabulous couple, good luck to you for all your hopes this year and the next… Kind regards 🌈
I hope you (and mom) stay well. You used to do fireside chats.. Is it possible to do winter fishing? How do you get water? Keep it going...thanks
Don’t worry Brian, go with the flow life is complex enough even when you live in beautiful Alaska😂. Take care both of you and see you next time. Greetings from a flat The Netherlands❤🙏🏼
Thanks 👍
Repetition is fine. You inadvertently see an eagle in a video that is “ just repetition “. Thanks for sharing your not so mundane life with us. I live in the Midwest. Everything in Alaska I find tremendously interesting… yes, even going for a walk. God bless.
Love you guys and all you do on this channel. My prayers to you both for a prosperous and adventurous 2024 with no more hits for many years! You deserve much happiness and good health and we all love ya down here in the lower 48. God Bless you!
You guys seem like friends and each week I anxiously await your videos. Thanks for taking us along and sharing your life with us😊
😁😁😁😭😭😭😭😭Death is very hard I don't handle death very good mom died very young threw me off for quite a long time still does dad died 7 years ago very hard took him a while and was all because of a doctors mistake within Vancouver Hospital st Pauls it was very dirty ended up getting superbugs they didn't say anything what it was I ended up getting it because I was cutting his hair and looking after him I was sleeping in the trunk of my car in underground parking lots cause they couldn't afford hotels they wouldn't let him come home to die I was yelling and screaming and swearing at him finally at the home then they let him come home the next day is very clean comox Valley hospital and it was a cleaner hospital that's when we found out that he had superbugs they made us gallon up mask up before you could go into the room after that I wasn't allowed to go around any elderly people or young people cause it takes a year for the super bug to get out of your system my dog best friend died three weeks ago😭😭😭😭😭Because they couldn't afford a vet bills it took them three months to die the last 15 hours he was fighting for air because I couldn't put him down because I've done that before and it never goes away all you can remember is putting a gun up to your dog's head pulling the trigger it makes it very hard to keep going very good video keep it up and take care❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁
I’m sorry to hear that.
We have the same issue in winter. It’s a struggle. So excited to see your sawmill getting setup. We have to set ours back up this spring. Stay safe you two! ❤
Alot of people think they can just go and live off grid. What most don't realize is how much hard work it is. You absolutely must have the right mindset. You two definitely have what it takes to be successful as you've proven! Looking forward to this Summers adventures! Thanks for sharing with us all! #keepitburning B!🔥
Absolutely!!👍
Looking forward to following your 2024 adventures!👍😎
Haha! The Eagles feed my dogs too, and they get sick. It's good to see you every week doing whatever it is you have to do. Come winter I don't feel like working outside either. My shop isn't heated so it's easy to just stay inside. I do hope that you two have a health and prosperous 2024.
Ha yes, not having a heated area can make you want to just stay inside.😂
Do some cooking videos. I always enjoy watching those videos. Great channel to watch ❤
Life happens. Sounds like this summer will be your summer to do lots of fun exploring!
After a year of health issues all around, it sounds like all the plans you have for this year will be good for your souls. Looking forward to seeing all your adventures and projects. No need to apologize. This is life and it isn’t always pretty or easy. ❤
Thanks guys.
Things to, see? How about that Beautiful view in front of your house, you see every day!!!
What a great place to go for a walk. I’m looking forward to see all of your adventures this year! Take care
No worries! You all needed a break! Take care! ❤. Great video! The skies are beautiful on this day!
I admire both of you.
Sending happy thoughts and adventures to you
We have a remote homestead like I said in my last comment. We also have rental cabins up here so people can see how we live. You guys are more than welcome to come up. You have to use the Hurricane train flag stop to get up here as we have no trails or roads. Get in touch. You can see our place here on YT.
If we start to come up into the interior we’d love too.
Just let us know so we can make sure the cabin is open.@@AnAlaskaHomestead
Sure looked like a beautiful day for a walk & talk 😊 we will watch whatever you guys put out...for sure. 👍
Thanks 👍
Your videos are always amazing. Watching you do all you do helps give me drive for doing things up here at our remote homestead north of Talkeetna. When things get tough you work through them and keep on plugging along. Keep the videos coming guys.
Thank you. Not too much longer before we can both be enjoying warmer days and long daylight.
My continued prayers for your mom. You had a crappy 2023, many trials were thrown at you, somehow we can make it through one day at a time . I hope all your ideas for your adventures ahead work out for you. I enjoy all your videos no matter what your doing. Exploring will be fun. Have a great safe week!!
I appreciate that Sue. Spring can’t come soon enough. Have a great week.
great video! thanks for the update on things that happened hope you get to do all these things you want hopefully you will take us along
Thanks Cedric
Please come to Petersburg during our Little Norway Days!!! You will love it. Great time great people. Great to see you both. can't wait to get started with the garden.
Sounds like we will see you in May. That would be so cool.
There are a couple more hot springs to check out white sulfur is one. Pelican and Elfin cove would be cool. North POW communities would be cool. Glacier bay, tracy arm, fords terror, misty fjords. So many things.
I was the guy on a woodstove wednesday live chat that first suggested and got your wheels turning on baranoff warm springs. Glad you guys did that one.
Can't wait to see more boat adventures.
White sulfur is the one she was talking about. I couldn’t think of the name at the time.
Understand the repetition thing you mentioned. But, know... we here in UpState NY. Just love seeing what it looks like `round there. `Sides, we'll have to know. When we gotta go up there & get it back from Putin. When he "takes it back" like he says now. It will be like Attu again ;- ]
😂 I hear ya
Hello Brian and Diana. Good to see you both today. I’ve missed you both but I know you have had a lot going on. Thank you for sharing with us today. We will be here waiting when you can put out a video. Take care and God bless you both✌️🇺🇸❤️❤️
Thanks Charlene
Yeah!
I'm on Dianne's team!
When you get to enjoy a couple of hours of sunlight in the winter time, those a highly treasured.
Hey Brian!
You can bring back "Wood stove Wednesday" again if you want to make more content.
I’ll talk it over with the Mrs 👍
film when you are active!!
Any videos you would make, we will watch! ❤️
I love your vids, its never boring, the scenery, wildlife the water yr fireeplace. You have had a really bad year. It's nice to help your parents, when your pulled in so many directions. We understand & we appreciate your lifes. we always remember the good & the bad with the parents. I pretty sure you will have a great year we look forward to your travels NZ L. CHEERS ❤
Thanks
Being alone on an Island is great.Do you watch movies listen to music play an instrument.
We do both and play some games.
If you are interested in an inland adventure, would love to see you at the Alaska RUclips Meetup on July 13th. Look forward to seeing the greenhouse build. Thanks for sharing
Can’t this year. Maybe next year.
Good after noon! nice to see you walking the shore and enjoying the sun. You're video are never boring, I like to known if your chicken are laying eggs? or just for meat? I enjoy building and fishing vedeo, also. It was nice your garden and the varity vegetables you could grow, there. (just a fews ideas we love to see) Have a good week, you both.
Thanks. The chickens are for eggs.
You guys are always welcome at my place on Prince Of Wales! Just say when we are moving permanently this year. I get to the island April 12 then will have to go back down to the lower rat race for one last load around July.
That’s awesome. Congrats on the move.
That’s two for POW now. 👍
You have definitely had a rough time. It's really good to see you two out enjoying a walk and keeping that positive vibe. Love you guys. 🙂
Thanks Jay
I really admire you both for living your dreams.
Eagles are just coyotes with wings in WY
I would love to see you cut wood for your greenhouse and have videos on building a greenhouse that would be awesome and all your adventures that would be amazing to would like to see Brian parents
All right 🤫
What jujube6650 said, in spades.
We do what we have to , there is nothing more important than family
Love the video! If you ever pass through Willow let us know you could come visit our homestead!
So much to do and so little time, we feel you! Hope you get to explore and adventure many places this summer.... Have a great day!
You Two are our favorites, vacation wile you can . See It all do It all . Wish you all the best of everything. We would visit but we’re getting too old . 2024 and More !
We don’t care if you just had a 10 min video of your beach. We would still watch it. We love you both. You deserve some traveling this summer.
Thank you 😊
Nice video guys that's the reason why I like Southeastern Alaska so much it's one of the most beautiful places in the whole world even on a nice chilly day with a sun shining it's still one of the most beautiful places and I'm sorry to hear about your dad I probably didn't catch that all feel the other videos
Oh please, don't sell yourselves short. You're as lively as a bunch of freshly hatched chicks! The views you live with are spectacular.
You two are awesome ,love your videos 🥰
Thank you so much 😁
I am also planning to move to an island alone and where there are no other human beings. Hpoefully, by december this year.
🤞 Good luck.
Hail from the Oil Patch in Central WY,
I'd love to see more 'in depth' aspects of your Crabbing, and hopefully, Shrimping as well, and Netting of Salmon during the Run, including the actual cooking of same, perhaps some recipes that you use.
I must also request/beg for a Return to 'Wood Stove Wednesdays'.....I LOVED those sessions, where you two speaking about the 'daily stuff' within the scope of your 'weekly plans', 'monthly plans', and 'seasonal plans'........it was quite wonderful.
Fuel consumption for your new boat vs your old boat, ranges, and on a 'Woodstove Wednesday', go into it as well about Boat Handling in various conditions; the good, the bad, the ugly, and down right "Should we put on the Mustang Suits?' variations.
Lastly, I didn't see your other furry child along with you on your outing, so hopefully the child is doing well and just decided to stay at home in the warm cabin and snooze!
Take care y'all, I think about you both, wishing you well, and yes, even the occasionally prayer to the Lord for your safety, relief from stress, and improvements in health are sent heaven-ward for you!
Cheers from the Oil Patch in Central WY
Hey JR,
I talked to the Mrs. and she said WSW is a go. We might also try to incorporate a live in there as well. That would be nice. Being able to interact with others is always nice.
Both dogs are doing great. Skipper likes to take off and explore every now and then, while Raven tends to come back and check on us.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead
Hey there y'all!
VERY happy to hear that WSW will be back and yes, I agree, 'live' feeds can be really fun, but I have to stridently watch myself, because I have a 100Gb Data Limit per month, and with live feeds, one can 'lose track' of time all too readily!
However, I'll join in for a bit (usually at the beginning) and enjoy the festivities!
Today, my back has finally eased up on me, after moving 200 lbs of kitty litter into the house and the into 'bus tubs' (I use them as litter boxes for the kids), so I'm exceedingly please to note that for the first time in 3 months, we have REAL Liter Boxes up and running (instead of everything on the floor)!!!! ("And the crowd goes wild!")
Last 3 days have been less than desirable, with limited use of my Walking Corpse, but today was definitely a "Hubba, Hubba" day!
Anywho, plan to get things done in the garage this weekend; paying keen attention to 'do's' and 'don't do's' as the Walking Corpse commands.....then put stuff up on FB and Craig's List for sale.
Icelandic Chickens do QUITE well in 'colder locales', but I'm still in favor of some breeds of ducks for y'all (Silver Appleyards, or Anconas, etc., they keep laying during Winter times temps....much better lay rate during cold than chickens).
Take care y'all, STAY HEALTHY, and enjoy the Salt Water for me will you.....I miss it something fierce!
Cheers from the Oil Patch in Central WY
So sorry for the loss of your dad. There’s a true blessing you got to spend the last few years of his life with him. Everything you guys post is good just be able to see nature you’re right you take for granted what we enjoy seeing every weekend this or whenever you post. Enjoy it while you can and live free❗️
Yea but winter time is slow stay warm and live free
Ya know life happens and we all have to role with it. We made the parent move decision ourselves this last year. Wyoming to Michigan. Hard but at the same time a real blessing to still have them around.
Never dull watching you! Looking forward to your 2024 adventures!
Yay! Thank you!
I like your videos no matter what they are
I love you as you are. Thank you for your videos
Let's do a trip out to the digs at Tenakee!! Also I want to get you lined out with some of those IBC totes for firewood! ❤
That sounds good to me.
Sounds like a great plan for the year. You dont want to spend all the time working when there are so many amazing things to do in the area
That’s the truth
May God bless you both with good health for ever, stay strong healthy and warm. uk.
You both do what your heart tells you to do. Enjoy life while you can, and have fun !!!
If I was a lot younger I would move to Alaska but being 76 may be a bite to old for that
Ha yeah, I think it would be too. It’s been awhile since you had the fire. I hope everything is back to normal. Good to hear from you.
I missed my calling born in 1940 this is the life I would have loved
Enjoy life!
I’m glad you guys are planning on getting out there around Alaska. Building the Greenhouse will definitely get you filming again and putting out those weekly videos that we all love!! Thanks guys!!! Good Luck with your planning!!
Thanks Kevin. We are chomping at the bit to get things started this spring.
Ya'll could video the snow on the ground and I'd watch it. Everyone has struggles in life, and there's no need to apologize. If you didn't post regularly, we'd all understand, as long as ya'll were ok. If you want a little adventure out of the ordinary, may I recommend Disney World in Orlando, FL. I'm about 3 hours away, we could do lunch...lol 😂😅 Love ya'll ❤️ Stay well, live free
I’d like to visit Florida one day. I’ve been to GA and AL but never made it to FL.
@AnAlaskaHomestead One of these days buddy, we'll arrange a visit. Ya'll can come here and bask in the sun on the beach, I'll go there and freeze my ars off...lol
@@russellwatters5891 😂
❤you both. Keep on trucking. God loves you and so do I. Love your videos ❤
Hello from south central Alaska well the winter time is always a tough time for creativity as far as youtube goes we are in our winter routine just trying to make it to spring. I am excited to see the sawmill up and running. I think your trees will make beautiful lumber for all your building needs. As far as chickens I have found new chicks added every 3 years is about right to keep the egg production were we want it. Not to many and not to few and also being able to keep feed costs under control. The one thing you don't want to overlook is your happiness so this summer GET OUT EXPLORE LAUGH AND ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL AREA GOD HAS GIVEN YOU TO ENJOY. I pray 2024 is kinder and gentler to you two. Thank you for sharing God Bless
3 years sounds about right for adding new chicks in to the mix. We are really looking forward to longer amd warmer days.
We'll always watch anything you put out here!!!!
Thank you guys.
You need to homestead somewhere warm
I know what you mean like just trying to get through the winter months but the first words out of my wifes mouth when she saw you video was wow . The view over the water was beautiful. Thank you for that. Sorry for the loss of your dad. Best wishes.
Thank you.
I love what you do you so blessed
You guys look wonderful , the sunshine ,fantastic . Be well .
Thank you Robert.
I am pretty sure that those of us that watch would watch if you just strapped a chest cam on (keep the beard out of the way? :P ) and went about your day; Take us with you to check the batteries, feed the chickens, do any mending or whatever, every week. Throw in anything that happens of interest and just let the rest happen for us. I watch to see Alaska, see how you folks, the dogs and chickens are doing and just to dream about being in Alaska the next time. What a rough year for you guys, so sorry for the tough times. Things seem to be looking up, though, at least I hope they are. Thank You for the hard work you do of filming and editing, it is awesome to see!
Thanks 😊
Just recently found your page and stories. Love that area as we try to visit each year as have some great friends in Juneau and Shelter Island. Maybe next time up we could meet. Wish you the best for 2024.
That would be great. Maybe we have some mutual friends 🤷
Do you know AWOL. That's my buddy in Juneau.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead just learned we do have common friends, Sonie & Gary on Shelter.
@@Carmon-Homestead I don’t think I know AWOL but Sonie and I had a nice conversation about you😂
Hope it was good stuff, LOL. By the way, we will be working on a flower order for Sonnie. You need anything from the East Coast?
Where was the doodle dog? He’s my fav!! ♥️
Skipper doesn’t check in with us as much as Raven, the lab, does. He’s always around though.
You will love sitka . When there go out to Goddard hot springs
I'd love for you two to resume your fireside chats in the winter that's when I first saw your vlog.
Here's hoping the rest of the year goes smoothly and taking more adventures on your new boat.
Blessings to you and your families.😊🇺🇲
Thanks Patricia
if you get a chance go visit Kodiak AK lots of rich history there
That would be cool
