We are building a cabin in southeast Alaska. It’s an off grid cabin on an island near Juneau. We are towards making a homestead out here and becoming more sustainable through frugal living, hunting, fishing and gardening. Alaska homesteading is more than just words is a way of life. So if you are interested in moving to Alaska or the off grid life click the subscribe button and join us here at My Alaska Dream, where we show what it's like homesteading for beginners.
Living in Alaska is great, come with us and enjoy the experience.
Preach it, Brother! It's good for the soul to vent loud and vigorously sometimes.
😂it’s good to get it off your chest
Turn tractor around and pull from 3 point hitch. Your taking all the weight off your back tires using the bucket.
And/or use some beach gravel to make a road up into the woods.
Love your videos! Even got my wife hooked on your channel.
Good tip. We pulled the boat up with the new system yesterday. It works great. I’d do coming up on it. Unfortunately high tide was at 5pm and it was dark.
Tell the Mrs we said hello.
Its Sunday, time to spend some time my favorite Alaskans again!
Yay!
Noticed that Lulu is wearing a Swedish Grundén's raincoat - that'll keep her dry all right.
That winch set up on the tractor is neat, but man, if that wire snaps you'll be a head shorter!
Be safe buddy!
Yeah, Grunden makes some good gear.
I replaced the wire cable with nylon so we shouldn’t have any decapitations.😂
Hope you are having a great holiday season.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead
You guys too!
Hang in there. I always wanted to take a trip to Alaska but now never will. Enjoy your videos that allow me to see how it is there.
Thanks Steve
It works !!! Thats what matters most, great attachment
Thanks.
It's always something ain't it. Good video
That’s the truth.
Doing that in the cold rain must be fun!
Embrace the suck. 😂
I'm glad you're mother in law Jo is doing good. I hope everything goes good for her in the future
Thanks Michael
That wheel will be a life saver no doubt. Stay safe and have a great week!
Thanks guys, you too.
Man, I feel ya on the frustration with wrong parts. It's bad enough when we have to drive 40 minutes back to town but you have to go an an adventure to handle that stuff. Stay safe out there you two.
Hey Jay, it is frustrating no matter how far you have to go. Luckily it all worked out in the end. Hope you Gin and the family have a great Christmas.
I can sure understand why you want that wheel on there! I'm surprised it doesn't come with U-bolts cause that would sure make it a lot stronger especially for what you guys have to go through. Hope the tractors an easy fix. That's an important thing to have working where your at. Take care and be safe👍‼️
Thanks Mark.
Good Morning and Merry Christmas!!!
Same to you.
Brian, that winch is great idea. I thought for a bit and think I am going to get a 6 foot grader blade ( 3 point hitch) , turn it facing away from the tractor and mount a 12,000 pound winch ( from harbor freight) on top of the pivot. Should pull blade down to bite in and keep tractor from being pulled. Gonna do it, Nothing but time to wait for it now
That sounds like a nice project.
Man, you two are tough getting it done with all that wind and rain.
Merry Christmas y'all.
Merry Christmas to you guys and the mighty Crew.
Love your program,Thankyou for sharing your thoughts and experiences.
Thanks Robert
Thanks Brian, no problem with not having a video last week as I had computer issues, I see that you are having problems and that really sucks too, it seems that at this time of the year everything goes wrong, for me anyways. Anyways I loved today’s video and I want to wish You, your lovely Wife and your whole family a ‘ Very Happy Christmas’!
Thanks Frederick. Winter is always a rough time of year.
Merry Christmas to you too.
Hope your computer issues are good now.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead still working on it, I’m using an iPad temporarily which doesn’t agree with me, I’m a mouse type of guy,lol.
Dang, that wind was whupping over there and I've never seen a wheel setup for the front of that trailer before, I bet it's gonna work out really good!! I have to say the winch setup for y'alls tractor is really cool!!! Y'all have a Merry Christmas my friend and stay safe up there!! Dan
Thanks Dan Merry Christmas to you too.
Man, that had to be frustrating everything going broken on you. I totally saw your frustration. I would be too. But the real troopers suck it up, put their foot down, come back at it again and get the d*mn job DONE! Well done Brian!
So true. You have to be very adaptable in the military because things are always going sideways there.
B&D (&G... and Rocky, Sweetie Pie, White Wings, the Ravens, the Steller Jays.. this could go on and on), just a quick note to wish you both (and your fam's) a Merry Christmas and a fantastic New Year. Blessings to you all. Cheers! -Erin
Aw thank you Erin. We want to wish you a very Merry Christmas too.
Amazing to see you guys taking the boat out that cold water, ,anyway have good time over the holidays and all the very best for the upcoming year, take care guys.
Thanks Jennifer hope you have a very Merry Christmas too.
Great video!! Glad you're back. Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄🦌⛄
Merry Christmas to you too.
First brr had to be cold in the water as well as that wind.
Hopefully, the cookies helped with your frustration and yes we could tell you were upset, I mean cuss words Brian 😂.
Have a very Merry Christmas hopefully your son and daughter-in-law will be able to come.
Blessings to all. 😊🇺🇸🎅🤶🌲
Ha nothing was going right that day. It’s all good now. Hope you have a Merry Christmas too.
I love it when a plan comes together.
You betcha
Time and tide wait for no man, or woman, and things can change in an instant. You've always got to have a different plan, and adapt quickly. And winds with 20ft tides, hooooeeeeeee, hopefully you hunker down in those situations. Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year, too.
Yeah we just batten up the hatches and wait it out. That’s one thing we can’t stress enough, living like this your actions are based around the tide a d the weather. Merry to you as well.
PEOPLE?!?!?!?! On your beach? Brian, the more people I meet the more I love bears!
Good point.
Living on the island certainly has it's challenges! Thank God the Mrs. is willing and able to be a help. I can't help but wonder if you ever consider moving into town closer to her parents?
Hope you two have a wonderful 🎄 !
It does but this is about as close to town as we’d like to be. Hope you have a great Christmas too.
Sounds like you both had a Hard few days.!!! Wishing you both a very Merry Christmas 🎄 God Bless.
You just have to roll with the punches😂
Merry Christmas to you too.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2021 from Verona.
Italy.
I don't blame you one bit for being pissed B... you handled it better than I would have! I'm sure you thought of everything to try and make that extraction as easy as possible. Just curious if you considered grading that pull out with your tractor and bring in some smaller gravel to make a better ramp? Also curious how much they charge to come out and sink a couple poles gor a floating dock? Great efforts Brother... stay strong and overcome. That's all we can do! Cheers!
Yeah it was a rough start that morning but it got better. We don’t want to build anything over there because it’s on state land. We are pulling the boat out today using the new system. We will film it and show if it works great or if I wasted $200 on that wheel set up. Unfortunately high tide is at 5pm so it will be in the dark. Not to sure how well the video will turn out.
You said dirty bad words. Lol. Merry Christmas and God bless you guys.
😂 I did.
Merry Christmas to you as well.
I traveled 78 miles in a snowstorm to get to Deshka Landing. Once in Deshka i got in the truck and traveled 37 miles to the Chainsaw store to buy a few replacement parts. Asked the guy 15 times " are these the correct parts " . Could you please double check. He sighed and did it. Traveled back to Deshka , got on the snow-machine and traveled 78 miles back on the river to our cabin. Wrong parts completely . Two days later went back and almost got arrested for nearly kicking the $hit out of this young punk behind the counter. Once the melee was over, i explained to the owner who just came in what the situation was. He used to live off-grid as well so he knows how important it is to get it right the first time. He chewed this kid a new ass. I completely understand your frustration with wrong parts.
Ha hell I thought my day was going bad. Yours takes the cake.
Getting the parts you want lol welcome to Juneau. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to both of you and your family. I hope your mother in law is doing ok
Merry Christmas to you as well.
Jo just finished her last week of radiation and is doing great.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year thanks for sharing
Same to you Gerald.
Half of this life is figuring out how to make things easier..😂 Nice job on the wheel. Stay safe and warm you two..!!
Thanks Ron. You are absolutely right. Easy is the best way.
Hey Brian, what great content you put out. I was going to ask what happened to the live Wednesday show. I miss seeing you guys. For me you guys are so much more interesting than the fake Alaska shows on tv. Thank you for sharing your adventures with those of us who can’t live that way. Wishing you and your wife Merry Christmas!
Thanks Rich. I’m trying to get the Lulu to sit down and do a WSW. I’m hopeful.
Have a great Christmas as well.
Lots of work Brian Happy holidays to you and your family
Thank you. Happy holidays to you as well.
No one has perfect days. It's all about how you deal with imperfections...........
That’s the truth.
Looks like some of the things we do with the our tractor around here
They come in handy.
What a great idea with that 3rd wheel! You always handle your bidness so no surprise there. ☺
Hey man, would pushin some of that soft earth over and putting down some of that lovely sand help your traction? Love how it looks around your garden area and it's free! Not tryin to tell you what to do but I'd be looking for projects if I had that tractor toy. Hahaha
You guys have a warm, Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Hope Santa brings you lots of lovely things.
Thanks Susan I like to handle my bidness😂 we are thinking of throwing some gravel up there for traction but with the new whee we won’t have to mess with that anymore.
Hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years too.
I hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas! Excellent video as always! I could see how that situation with the boat could frustrate anyone! Glad you got it to work out in the end!
Thanks. Hopefully you guys are doing well.
Enjoyed this video too. Always do.
I really liked seeing the last one where you got stuck in town, cause that gives me a better idea of what I'd see and have to deal with while in town (where there are other people.) And to me, people are the biggest threat.
Oh! And how's it going with the insulation of the underside of your house? Have rodents tore at it yet? That's the trouble I have here on the Oregon coast. The little bastards SHRED everything.
No issues with rodents tearing at the bubble foil. It is warmer than nothing at all. On real cold days my feet would get cold even while wearing socks and slippers. Not anymore though. 👍
Love it !! Can you send a link for the beach launch wheel… so I can buy it too asap please ! 🙏. I’m in Quebec love you content
The place I bought it closed down and there are no brand markings on it. It’s a big mystery who makes it 🤷♂️
Man, I take living on the road system for granted! How many times a year do you need to take the boat out?
We don’t always pull our boat out of the water only when it’s getting nasty. Which is almost all winter😂. We typically go to town every two weeks or so.
Over the hump now. The days are getting longer.
Finally 😂
Merry Christmas to you all. MGBYAAIJNA 😎
Merry Christmas to you too.
It’s not a butt plug it’s a drain plug! I’m just trying to be nice about this! Wow!!!!!
Butt plug has a nice ring to it😂
man that all is going to be a bear when your in your 70s!! think you will need 2 wheels on it to make it real easy knowing your luck youll have a flat tire with just one lol
lol I probably would get a flat tire😂
SO YOUR TRACYOR DOESN'T HAVE A DIFFERENTIAL LOCK?? GLAD YOU MADE IT OUTTA THE COLD WIND & RAIN.. ALOHA
It does, it’s just not working. Frustrating to say the least. 👍
I like that winch on the front of your Kioti. Can you show it in a video . I have a blank attach plate I need to make something with and I think I want to put a winch on it like you got going on there. Nice video by the way
When we shoot the video of us pulling the boat up I’ll try and remember to shot a shot of it. How’s the locker on your tractor working?
@@AnAlaskaHomestead Works like it is supposed to. I have had to use use it a few times , well quite a few and it has got me out of every situation that it needed to. maybe the salt air has interfered with the linkage working like it should? Seems like I always use it when the need is to back out of a spinning situation cause of uneven ground. I did get in a pickle while dropping into my horse corral at the gate. Needed to back out and the locker was my savior along with tipping the bucket. wheew!!!
Couldn’t you build a wooden ramp above the High tide waterline to make it easier for you pull the boat up into your shelter spot , then maybe build a A-frame Cover to park the boat under and keep it out of the weather ,
I can’t build anything in that area. It’s state land.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead Could you purchase the land or have you already checked it out
No I haven’t checked in to it. It’s definitely something to think about.
Good day Brian. Is a tow ball on the tractor not possible. And a u shaped or circular drive through the trees not possible?
We were using a tow ball but stated to tear up the upper porting of the landing.
Why not use the tractor and scrape up a lot of the beach stones and gravel and use it to make a short road across the grassy dirt area. You have more than enough and the tools to do it with.
That’s an option. I think we got it covered with this new technique. We are pulling the boat up tomorrow so we will find out for sure. Unfortunately it’s going be dark at high tide. That’s the problem when sunrise is at 9 and sunset is at 3. 😂
The winch should be tilted to get a better angle.
That’s true
Looks like you are definitely in the rainy season. I hope your tractor is still under warranty. If it is, do they still charge something for the trip they have to make out there to look at it?
I’m sure I’ll have to pay something to get a mechanic out here. Let’s hope not👍
Have a Merry Christmas Terry.
Now could you just put a 12v wench with a battery in the woods to now pull it up instead of the tractor? Good job
That’s something to think about. Maybe bury a eco block half way and mount a winch to it. Hope you and the family have a Merry Christmas.
:)
First!
🏆 Yes you are.
Do you have a link to buy the third wheel mount?
No I wish I did.
Oh man that looks miserable compounded by frustrations from people not doing what they get paid for. I get it. Hope the family is doing well. Merry Christmas to you and yours. On a side note is that beard shorter?
Yeah, being cold and wet then add on frustration makes for a bad morning. It all worked out in the end though.
Yeah I trim up the beard every couple of months.
Hope you have a Merry Christmas too.
Stay safe bud. Get any deer yet? Let me know if you want to go cruising this next week!
No, I’ve just been busy. Still have meat in the freezer. Next year I’ll have to go for sure. Carl M needs to get his rifle sighted in so we can go out. Next year for sure. Did you do any hunting this year?
Oh I also had a buoy wash up the other day with the name Blankenship on it. If you think it’s a relative let me know and I’ll bring it to town for you.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead its probably mine i lost some gear
No wasn't able to get out, with taking care of the family, and getting a new big boat, then we had a flood in the last storm. I've been stuck pretty close to home this year. Sucks though, I had a full hunting, fishing and trapping license this year. I've still got some meat from last year and a ton of fish from this past summer. After the holiday care packages get sent out we will see what's left. Next year is our year man. I will be able to help you move stuff with my boat too.
@@neverendingluau yeah I seen Jordan creek flooded.
Well I have a large black fender with your name on it. I can’t wait to see the boat it belongs too. That’s awesome.
Next year it’s on for sure.
You can't be too careful in such a place. It was careless to go out without your forearm!
I’m not sure what you mean by forearm?
@@AnAlaskaHomestead firearm
😂 got it
YOU: “I didn’t bring my gun.”
ME: “last time I did that I accidentally got ten feet from a big male brown bear. Don’t do that again, I know I won’t. Always, always, always carry a gun in Alaska.”
When you are right, your right.
You must have two trailers huh?
I do👍
Nothing worse than not getting the right part. Couldn't you just put something like a couple of posts to mount the winch on permanently so you wouldn't need the tractor? Not trying to tell you what to do..........just trying to help figure something easier out? My dad had 2 long rails that ran into the water that the boat trailer would sit on and the other end ran into the boat house that had a winch. When he.came off the water he would drive onto the trailer and then winch the boat up on shore into the boathouse. I don't know if any of that would help you all out.......if it doesn't.....just ignore it......lol. I hope you all have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS...........GOD BLESS
Ha no that’s a great idea, no need to ignore it. The problem is that’s not our land, it’s the states. I could build something there but then they could come and tear it down if they wanted to.
It’s so windy in front of our place it would be hard to launch in the winter time with out taking some waves over the stern when backing out. I’d love to pull the boat into a boat house.
Hope you have a great Christmas and new year.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead Dang, that sucks. I just about freeze to death just watching you two in that water. Could you contact the state and ask them maybe? That way maybe they would not tear it down. The boat house could be kind of a lean to type thing just to keep the snow off the boat. I just love your channel......Merry Christmas and Happy New year
Thanks Toni, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to contact them and see what they say.
Hope you and your family have a great Holiday season.
3 lol
You changed your picture but I still recognize who this is😂
One other thing , i take pictures of all my equipment and model and serial numbers. So if you hand me the wrong part after i give you all that. I am coming back to kick your ass. Jail be damned. Dont care.
Ha I hear ya. I take pictures of building stuff so I remember which kind I have. I’m getting old I guess can’t remember spit these days.
