We have been waiting for this moment all our lives it seems! Joe is soon to retire from the military & we've been thinking long & hard on where we want to retire. Where we want our forever homestead to be. I couldn’t be happier & Im not surprised that we chose ALASKA!
For more Alaska content from the Watsons watch our ALASKA CABIN PLAYLIST:
• Life in Alaska! || Hom...
While several states were contenders, we always kept going back to ALASKA! We were stationed in Alaska twice with the military, 7 years total. Alaska has a special place in our hearts, little Parker was born there and we're just feeling called to go back.
Securing our forever homestead before he retires, is important to us. Having that peace of mind that it's there, ready & waiting! We bought the most adorable OFF grid cabin on 15 acres with a pond. It's everything I've ever dreamed of. It's going to be a lot of hard work as the ONLY structure on the property is the cabin itself. We'll be experiencing some TINY living with only 600 square feet in our new home!
This cute Friesian style cabin has 2 bdrms, 1 bath, an adorable kitchen & a beautiful mac daddy wood burning stove! It is currently off the grid, with a well & brand new septic system. We're working with an Alaskan company to design a solar system for the homestead.
We'll be adding a chicken coop of course, a LARGE greenhouse or hoop house to extend the garden growing season, a shop for Joe, a guest cabin for my Grandpa and I'm sure many other projects! You know how we roll :) Busy, busy...
Just an hour from the nearest town...yet right off our front porch is nothing but Alaskan wilderness as far as the eye can see! Full of lakes, creeks and abundant wildlife! I see a lot of hunting, fishing, 4-wheeling & snow machining in our near future!
Thanks for hanging out with us on this video & taking an adventure with us! I'm SOOOOO excited to take you guys along with us on this journey. It's almost time to close this chapter of our lives and start a new...I'm so excited. God willing...we'll be HOME soon! Cheers!

Thank you Joe for your service & Tina for your sacrifice .....Congrats.....remember always carry....
Thank you so much Connie! ♥️ We always carry! Especially in AK hehe!😉💯 I’ll share your message with Joe!
First I’d like to thank your husband for his service to our country. Second I’d like to thank you his wife and family for serving with him. I’m retired from the Coast Guard and was one of the first woman to enlist on active duty in the early 70’s when they allowed woman to join as regular and not reserves. I was stationed in Kodiak, Alaska in 1978 to 1983. I absolutely loved it. I bought a log cabin on almost 4 acres and now regret selling it. I’m now 65 and it’s always been my dream to live in a log cabin in the middle of the woods. It’s just myself and my golden retriever now. My daughter recently moved from Michigan to Portland, Oregon for her job but lives in Vancouver, WA, so I’m thinking maybe I might think about moving back to Alaska. I’m an avid fisherman, love to camp still use my tent no glamming for me haha.. Such a wonderful state to raise a family. May the good Lord bless you and keep you safe and healthy as you begin this new journey in your life’s.
Wow! That's awesome. Thank YOU for your service as well. That's really neat. Your story is inspiring, thank you for sharing! I'm rootin' for you to get back to Alaska someday!! :)
My husband also retired from Coast Guard Reserves as Senior Chief. 29 years CG and 3 active duty Army. We took a trip for 17 days to Alaska and we loved it. Thank you for your service.
@@anntempleton8431 wow! Thank you & your husband for your service. What a commitment. That’s a lot of yrs serving. Thank you! ♥️ Yeah we were hooked on Alaska the moment we laid eyes on it. There was no doubt for us that that’s where we wanted to retire! 😊
You always could buy a dry cabin near Chena Hot Springs. I saw several for sell at good prices last year. You'd love it!
My husband was stationed in alaska also. That cabin is perfect! Folks from the lower states focus on square feet, but in alaska less is more. A solid foundation, good sturdy walls, a top quality wood burning stove, functioning water, septic, and a dependable energy source ALL usurp square feet. Heating is top priority and smaller is definitely better, by far. That is a solid little home you got there. Best wishes. Oh ..first thing ...put the tennis shoes away, permanently. You'll be in boots year round. Warm ones for the winter and regular waterproof wellies in the warmer weather. Watching them tiptoe around that pond in their "lower states" shoes was funny. :)
Hi Susan. I couldn’t agree with you more. We’ve spent the last 4 yrs downsizing. Seems like every time we’ve moved we get a smaller house. These big houses are just a waste of space and more for me to clean! 🤣 This lil cabin is the perfect size. We have all we need and most of all…we have each other & that’s what I really want the focus to be on, is each other. And yes BOOTS! Haha. We had extra tuffs & all that gear when we lived up there before but it’s been 8 yrs! So we’ll def be investing in appropriate attire & gear before we head up! Thank you for your encouraging words! Means so much! 😊💗
@@HomeFreeAlaska check out Salmon Sisters....they have great boots. Like you, every time I arrive in Alaska I feel like I've come home. Best place ever. Lived there for 5 yrs back in early 90s. Now my son (he was born there) and his family live there, I visit often.
You are my favorite channel. Not because you are entertaining, it is because you guys are fearless and willing to go into the unknown knowing you will adapt, improvise and overcome with trust in God.
Aawww, bought tears to my eyes. Belated welcome to my home state of Alaska. ThankU for your service, you guys were a benefit to our country. In Christ Alone.😊
Lived in Alaska for years and moved to Virginia. Can't wait to get back. Alaska is definitely HOME.
Hi Jennifer! Couldn’t agree with you more! I’m so happy with our decision to retire there. We’ve lived in many places with the military, but Alaska was always our favorite! 😊
Congrats on the new homestead! Alaska is so beautiful and wild , can't wait to see new videos
Thank you so much! We are very excited to get up there permanently! Thank you for watching our video! 😊
First of all, thank you all for your service. I say you all because so many forget the sacrifices the family makes while their husband/wife are on an unaccompanied tour or in combat. I totally agree with you in regards to your feelings about Alaska. The one and only time I was there for 2 weeks, I felt like God was standing next to me with his arm outstretched saying I have created all this for my children to thrive, respect, and care for to maintain its beauty. I know I will never get to go back and see it again, so I watch every channel I can that pertains to Alaska and living off grid. Just remember to carry guns anytime you walk into the woods, especially when bears are out. Seeing all that tall brush concerned me as to what was hiding in it. I know you all will accomplish your dream. Also, I watch two channels regarding Alaska, Simple Living Alaska and This is my Alaska. God Bless and protect you all on your new journey.
Hi Ione! Thank you for your comment. I agree with you on everything you said. I actually just bought myself a new 357 revolver! I plan to carry anytime I'm out on the property & elsewhere. We're pretty pushed out there so even if I'm on my own property, it's very likely we'll see a ton of wildlife & I never want to be caught off guard! I'm most excited about the wide open spaces. Just Alaska wild as far as the eye can see. I feel so free when I'm up there. I also watch SLA...I've never watched "This is My Alaska," I'll have to check that one out too! Have a blessed day!
Alaska is truly beautiful!
You husband and son are really in their element
Would like to see more interaction between family members,
after all it’s a family move.
Wishing you the best that life has to offer.
Thank you Faye! We’re looking fwd to sharing the adventure with the channel! 😊
It is a magnificent scenery there. I love the cabin. It looks so warm and cozy inside. Hope you all will love your stay there.
Thank you Janetta! I agree, it's so cozy. I can't wait to get up there & throw my decor techniques on it and fix the place up a bit! We're very excited. Heading up in March!
God bless you and your family in your new adventure in magical Alaska. If I were young I would love settleing there. I had the immense pleasure to visit Alaska in 2019 and simply fell in love with this state. Enjoy and be happy and raise your child in the beautiful creation God has made for us all, Alaska.🙏🍄
Thank you Ignacia! Such an uplifting comment, I really appreciate that! This truly is a dream come true. I'm excited to share the journey & adventure with our RUclips family. :)
You will find neighbors channel on SIMPLE LIVING ALASKA they started with their chicken coop build. Best of luck as you live your dream. Thanks Joe for your service. My husband was in USMC 22 yrs. I'm going to love watching your Chan.
Good morning! Yes, we are also subscribed to Simple Living Alaska :) We are so very excited about this next chapter in our lives...and I constantly catch myself fantasizing about sipping coffee on our front deck over looking such beautiful country! Both times we were stationed in AK we were so busy with our military assignments, our chance to really explore & enjoy Alaska was limited. So we can't wait to get back up there after he retires. Thank you to your husband & YOU for your service to our country as well!
I love Simple Living Alaska! I hope I'll enjoy this sight just as well. Good luck, God Bless & thank you for your service Joe!
Thank-you so much for sharing your cabin experience with us. It is our dream also, but as Albertans, to build a cabin on our little lot in Fairmont, BC. I really enjoyed watching you guys fishing, so wholesome. Also the wild flowers there on your property- you are so blessed. I look forward to following your videos as you settle in and dream along. Thanks to your husband and son also for the “intrusian” into hir privacy. Just tell them that a woman they’ve never met was really grateful for this glimpse and it meant alot-as we sit here in our little apartment in the city. All my best wishes for your blessings🙏
Thank you so much for your kind comment. We are excited to share the adventure with you! Thank you for being a part of our channel. ♥️
Lovely as Alaska is, you always have to have a pistol on your hip when you are outside. Love your new home. BLESSINGS
Thanks Judy! Totally agree with you. Always carrying! We weren't in this video because we only flew up for the home inspection & didn't want to bring our guns on the airplane with us! :)
@@HomeFreeAlaska gee a responsible gun owner. To hear the news there aren’t any of those around. Just crazy ones shooting up schools. 😏 I say, the day the government and the criminals are the only ones with the guns, is the day it’s time to move to another continent. I’m not interested in living in the ussr. I was going to ask about the wildlife and security. I mean it’s not just raccoons you’ll be dealing with. Lol curious to see your newer videos and your journey. If it didn’t snow there I’d move there myself. But I’ve been in New England winters long enough to know that spending a month there would be so amazing, but then I’m shuffling off to the warmer weather. While not settling like you folks, in five years it’s an rv for me and touring this beautiful continent. If I live long enough maybe more than once 🤞🏼🤞🏼your son is brave. I can’t imagine how cold that lake water was 😳
You look so happy in your new home! Enjoy the wide open spaces and clean fresh air. Oh, and BTW Parker is absolutely adorable! What a handsome young man…🙏🏾❤️
Thank you so much! ♥️
I just adore the beautiful wild flowers in Alaska and other mountainous, cold climates.
Me too! It’s so beautiful! 😍
Thank you both for your service! I visited Alaska in 2019 and loved it! Just not sure I could handle the cold, snow, and long dark winter days.
Thank you! 😊
@@HomeFreeAlaska Enjoy in your new home. May JEHOVAH bless your family. Wish you the best.
I’m so happy for you and all the other channels who also had to do the same exact thing I’m going to do as well! I’ve actually been looking at Canada instead of Alaska for a blank land plot!
Canada is beautiful as well! Thanks so much for watching our video!
Your new country is great. You are young enough to handle a living change, and old enough to understand Alaska's living requirements. Electricity is always at the top of the list. A nice quiet Honda generator would be a good temporary solution. Generator noise usually keeps the animals away. This is ok for now. I am happy for you and yours.
I am off grid, raised 3 kids who are now adults on solar, having more batteries is better than having more pannels. More power storage (batteries) will allow you to run the generator less, which is a good thing.
So we're currently working with a solar company up there & the local electric company to get estimates on bringing power out to the property. We will most likely go with whichever is cheaper. But we are leaning towards pulling out power. We plan to have several exterior structures, garage, guest cabin for my grandfather etc., all will need power & it'd be much easier if we were on grid. We'll see tho, time will tell! :)
Looking forward to seeing your family in the next adventure of Homesteading.
I have always wanted to move to Alaska. It’s looks so green and beautiful and the mountains are awesome. Congratulations on your journey in Alaska. I will continue to watch your videos on your journey. God bless you all..
Thank you so much! When I was a kid my mom used to talk about moving to Alaska, she wanted to so badly. But as a single mom raising 4 kids on her own, the task felt impossible. I was very excited when we got stationed up there twice with the military and I'm even more excited to go back to retire there! It truly is magical. Thanks for watching our video! Blessings~
Brings back memories. I lived in Palmer for 4 years. I really miss it. One thing to consider is to put in some wind power also. As you already know that there is not much sun in the winter. Not trying to tell you what to do, just something to consider. Really nice place you have. I love it.
Thank you for the recommendation. We appreciate that! And thank you for watching our video. 😊
I think it’s wonderful that everyone’s making comments to actually be helpful and not hateful, as it usually is these days. What a great resource the internet can be on a project like this. Plenty of others came before you and they don’t all stay because they had no idea what they were doing. Good luck to you all. It’s really beautiful
That is beautiful! Can't wait to see what you do with it!
Thank you Cee Cee! I wanna go now! I’m trying my best to have patience. Not my strong suit lol. When I want something, I want it now. But…it’s all in God’s timing. 💗
I just saw this video and noticed that this cabin is a bit like your current home that you bought in Alaska. Cute!
Your son looks so happy out there, so does your husband 😁I would love to live out there❤️ Oh Alaska is so beautiful I wouldn’t want to leave either! It’s such a great place to raise your son. He looks like he loves fishing so he is in the perfect place.
Doesn’t he? He is so cute. He told me yesterday, Mom…”I can’t wait to get to AK…I feel like I’m meant to be there.” 😂 He is so funny! All he talks about is fishing. He’s going to love it up there. Thanks for watching our video! 😊
@@HomeFreeAlaska He is so cute🥰He reminds me of my oldest grandson Camden, he loves fishing too. I’m so proud of my son, he takes him fishing and hunting all the time.God Bless you guys, looking forward to more videos when you get to Alaska.
log siding would look great inside and give it more a cabin feel, home depot in Wassila has those in stock. We just stayed in a cabin on a lake in Talkeetna. No neighbors, just peace and quiet, was perfect. Looking forward to your move
Hey Tom! Thanks so much for watching our video! Talkeetna is just North of us! 😊 Def have to do something with the inside of the cabin to make it feel more cozy for sure!
Awesome!!
Thanks so much! We’re just a little excited! 😆
Thank you Joe for your service, I spent two years in the Army and three in the national guards
Thank you for your service as well Cory! 🇺🇸 ♥️
@@HomeFreeAlaska on my post of my service there was a typo 🙃 seven years in the Army and three in the national Guard. Tours where Germany and Korea.
Def top notch off grid living. When I saw the bathroom it looks like you’re in a hotel 😂 move in ready and such a nice location.
absolutely beautiful guys! Praying God's blessings and abundance in your new chapter. God is Good!
Thank you SO much for your encouraging words. We are very excited and a bit anxious. It’s a big move & a lot to get done before we go. But I know it’ll all be worth it in the end! Thank you again. 💗
Your new home is absolutely beautiful. The pond is awesome. The bald eagle looks so majestic
Thank you MaryAnn! I can’t wait to get up there for good! ♥️
Amazing 🙏❤️
Welcome to Alaska and congratulations on finding your new homestead! I live in the Mat-Su Valley and came from VA, as well so I know the transition you're about to experience. My husband is retired Coast Guard which is what brought us to Alaska. We are creating a homestead near the base of Hatcher Pass - not far from the Raney homestead of Homestead Rescue and we also have bees and chickens so reach out if you'd like info on the local bee clubs and farm community as you prepare to move (it's a completely different ball game than the lower 48) or other local resources. Also stay away from that large leaf you showed - I couldn't tell from the quick shot of it but it looked like Devils Club/Cows Parsnip/Pushkie which is akin to poison ivy but much more intense!
Hi Jenna! Wow...you're guys' story sounds just like ours. We're also Coast Guard! Thank you for all the tips, we appreciate that. We'll def stay in touch as we plan to get bees up there. We're in the process of selling our hives here in VA. Honey is def something that's a must for me! :)
I was thinking that very thing. Pushkin is aweful it causes a serious chemical burn.
Do many alskans own meat or dairy cows? Is that a thing lol
Congratulations 🎉 I hope you enjoy your new beautiful home😊. God Bless your family with peace & safety ❤️
Memi thank you so much for your kind comment & encouragement! :)
2 years living off grid with zero electric and running water and other convinces has prepared me to beging to learn the things I need to do to succeed in the survival in the challenges of living in a harsh environment.
thanks for your service Joe .
Thank you my friend! I will be sure to pass the message to him. 🇺🇸 ♥️
Nothing smells like ALAKSA!!! IT SMELLS AMAZING
So true!!! So fresh! Wide open space! ♥️
Very nice , Beautiful view 🌞
I lived in Wasilla for years!!! Beautiful area!! Don’t miss those long winters though!!
Haha! I totally understand! It'll be an adjustment for us for sure. We moved from Alaska in 2013! VA heat & humidity is awful (in my opinion)...I can' wait to get back to cooler weather...but no doubt it's going to take time to adjust lol...big difference from where we are now! Thanks for watching Diane. Have a blessed day!
That is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Aw thank you Jane! 💗
Wow cute place glad you’re able to see this dream come true 😁
Thank you Danielle! 🤗
What a beautiful place.. looking forward to your new videos 👍
Thanks Kris! Can't wait to get up there for good. Hittin' the road Oct 1st, Alaska bound!
lived for several years in alaska and it's the only place that felt like home. sure am jealous, but thankful still. i'm up in my year now but still want to go home.
Aw thank you. I can relate to that. We thought of a lot of different places to retire...but we always ended back up with Alaska. It's beautiful country up there for sure. Very excited to get back there. Thank you for your comment :)
What a beautiful cabin. I look forward to seeing more from your little piece of heaven
Hi Mary! Thank you so much!!😊
So beautiful and peaceful looking. Blessing for Alaska living
Thank you Debbie!
Lived up there twice, just has a way of calling you back. Enjoy that beautiful place in Alaska.
Sure does Julie! I agree with you! Thank you for watching our video! 😊
Thx for sharing!
I lived in Alaska for 7 and 1/2 years I loved it. Get your husband to look up on the RUclips channel how to build an alternator generator you will need it. Once you get it built you can run your entire house without having to pay for fuel to run a generator. In the winners solar is great but the days are not as long there and the winter time so you won't get as much sunlight for the solar. Enjoy your new home. It looks like you have enough room to have a really good garden. The vegetables grow to be awesome sizes in Alaska in the summertime.
Hi Marcia, thanks so much for your recommendation! And thanks for watching our video. Blessings to you~
Watched your whole video see you are there outside of palmer by butte, big learning curve coming wish you all the best..
Yes it will be a learning curve but we've lived in AK twice and are fairly confident as to what we're getting into & what to expect. I think it may be a bit more scary if this was our first time ever living in AK. We're up for the challenge & love to work hard! Very excited about the adventure :)
We need an update on the move!! This is so exciting!!
Welcome home! Alaska is a hard life, but an easier life. Really excited for you to explore your property. Looks like you've got some cloud berries there, so probably have high Bush cranberries and maybe even some blueberries around the boggy areas. Always lots to do and fun to be had here.
Yes! Thank you Raina! I'm so excited to explore the property. I can't wait to learn all of the natural resources we have. You're the 2nd person that mentioned the cloud berries! Do ya'll live in Alaska?
@@HomeFreeAlaska
Yes. Wasilla. Love it here. No place like Alaska.
Amazing 🙏🏻👼🏻❤️ I moved from Calif to pacific North West ( Marrowstone Island ) I love our 5 acres.. our beau full trees surrounding us. Beautiful hiking trails .. every morning the Island wakes up to The Star Spangled Banner 🇺🇸 🌟.. God bless you and your lovely family
Oh wow! Deborah that sounds amazing!!! Thank you so much for watching our channel. Blessings to you as well my friend! :)
So excited to follow your adventures!!! I found you through suggested content from Simple Living Alaska! They’re off grid as well. Hoping to someday relocate to the great outdoors as well.
Hi Sabrina! Yay, so glad you found us! Thank you for subscribing. I'm excited about the upcoming adventure and to share it with everyone on the channel! :)
Awesome looking property Tina and Joe
Thank you so much Kevin!
Enjoy, we settled on Az after our military retirement. Love it.
Love AZ. That's where Joe was born and raised. I moved to AZ when I was 15 & that's where I met Joe. We graduated HS and also got married in AZ. Beautiful state!
My husband and I feel the same way about Alaska. It is home to us as well. We bought our land in Alaska a year ago September. We are living in Texas for now.
How exciting Denise! I can’t wait to get back up there in March! We love Alaska, such beautiful country! 💗
It's unbelievable how many people are moving from the crowded cities nowadays, to countries or places were you can have nature and a much slower way of living. Here in Europa I'm following some families who are now living in Sweden, semi- off grid. They make these choises aspecially when children are involved. Peace and quite (Sounds of nature) is what they all want to have. I wish your family the same!
Thank you! 😊
Ok, I'm hooked!
Welcome friend! Thanks for joining our channel!
Thank you for your Service!!
Thank you! ♥️♥️♥️
Such a beautiful vlog
Congratulations to you all! Very exciting news! 🎉
Thanks girl! I can’t wait. Lots to do before we officially head up there. We’re going from an 1800 sq ft home to 600 sq ft! 😂 But I’m ready, so ready to purge the junk & unnecessary stuff! 😉
Soooo envious. Love the beauty of Alaska
Me too. It's such beautiful country! Wide open spaces up there for sure. Very excited to get back up there. :) Thank you for your comment!
Very Cool I remember my own family when we were that young! Time does fly enjoy every moment!
Yes it doesn’t my friend. We’re trying our best! I didn’t realize until my daughter turned 18 in 2020. I thought wow…how did that happen! 😊♥️
So happy for your family, God bless you and keep you!
Thank you Karen!!! 💗
Great video Joe and Tina
Thank you, you are so kind.
Hi from Maryland are far cry from where I'd love to be living but God has helped my wife and get this home. Looks like you made a good purchase plenty of room to roam enjoy and God Bless and Thank you Joe for your service and your families dedication

Aw! I hope he gets to come home to you soon too my friend! ♥️🇺🇸♥️
Looking forward to seeing you
I’ve been watching simple living Alaska for a while who also live there and possibly could be your neighbor , they also love it there ,😊
I love that cabin.
Happy , so happy for you guys!
White nights are beautiful!
Just like in my home Sant Petersburg, my home ❤️🇷🇺
Welcome to Alaska, you'll love it.
Thank you! And thanks for joining us on the live tonight! Can’t wait to get up there! 😍
Beautiful home…beautiful family…be safe and pace your honey dooosss
Thank you SO much Norman! 💜
It is Neat Place Alaska Pretty State, Thank You For sharing 😇🎶💖🤩
Thanks Richard! 😊
Awwwww I just love your channel
I live in the Fiji Islands in the Southern Pacific Ocean. I love watching Alaskan off gridders
I think you top them all because you speak with a passion n I identify with that. I always love Alaska. Have never seen snow in my life n I love the nature flora n fauna its sooo sooo beautiful. Scenery that is amazing. Enjoy your homesteading n I will enjoy watching💕🙏💕Sending love💕 from Fiji🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴
Awesome! Thank you so much for watching all the way from Fiji!
Thats awsome congratulations ! The house is very similar to the home me and my wife bought two years ago in Quebec in terms of size and build. You'll see in the winter heating with the wood stove it will warm up very quickly. Upstairs in our loft area with the stove running we often end up having to open windows to cool it down a bit even in the 5- degrees. Its good you have a fan too youll need it in the winter to push that hot air back down ! Im looking forward to seeing how your projects unfold up there. Im a fairly new subscriber its good to see some nice family homesteading channels like this
Thanks Joel. And thanks for subscribing…we’re glad you’re here. Yes, Joe & I were actually talking about that. The rental cabin we stayed in was the same floor plan too & it got quite warm up in the loft for little Parker lol. In our cabin, that wood burning stove is huge lol…so I can only imagine how hot the loft will get! Def be using the fan & opening windows to cool it down up there! 😂
Hi I'm new to your channel but I'm sure I'll be following your adventure in Alaska. I like to see couple who are starting to build a new chapter in there life in Alaska. Wish I can do that. Watching you guys from Hawaii. God bless take care and be safe.💖💖💖
Hello! Welcome to our channel. So glad you’re here! ☺️ I’m excited to share the whole journey & Alaska adventure with the channel! Happy to be able to take you along with us! 😉
I just discovered your videos and really enjoy them. I am a USAF retired Msgt and did 3 separate tours in Alaska-- 2 at a radar site about 35 miles from F-banks and the last was at a site about 7 miles from Galena on the mighty Yukon. I'm envious that you made the move-- Alaska gets in your blood. I watch all the TV shows and You Tube videos about Alaska. Enjoy your new life. PS -- lose the music , especially the songs... Not necessary.. Bob Tallahassee,Fl.
Might take a look in investing in underpinning, Winter isn't far off. Great cabin! Thank you Sir for your Service!
Thank you so much! Absolutely, we have the cabin winterized right now but that's the first project when we get there, insulating all the pipes and skirting around the bottom! Thanks so much for watching our video! Blessings~
Alaska is lucky to have your family
🙏✝️🇺🇸⭐️⭐️⭐️
Aw thank you so much! ♥️ We’re very excited. ☺️
Very beautiful view…What a cozy living area!
Thank you Frank! Cozy is the exact word I think of when I think of our cabin in Alaska! Thanks so much for watching! 😊
I didn't see a heat shield behind that wood stove ,I would definitely make that a priority if there isn't one...the wall can get pretty hot when battling sub zero Temps
Absolutely Mike! There’s a lot of things the previous owner didn’t have on this cabin, like insulation around the pipes and skirting around the crawl of the cabin etc., lots of little projects to get the cabin where we want it to be. 😊
@@HomeFreeAlaska oh wow!, yeah that'll be pretty important too, (the skirting) especially if you have those black squirrels in the area, they get into everything especially insulation..
@@mikefalanga437 yes, there’s no insulation right now. Cabin is winterized. We’ll be doing the crawl space work & skirting once we get up there this spring. Very excited! 😊
@@HomeFreeAlaska ah okay, that's awesome, its nice to see a family coming together to build their dream, good stuff, Congrats on the purchase!
@@mikefalanga437 thank you! 😊
It’s beautiful there, God has a purpose and knowing what it is is great.
Thank you! 😊
I’m totally jelly! But equally happy for your new adventure. Now I gotta find the vids from when you moved in.
Hey there! We haven’t moved in yet. We move to the cabin in October. That’s when my husband retires. 😊 Excited to share the adventure with the channel!
Congratulations on getting your dream place
Thank you! 😊
Surrounded by God's creation, what else could you ask for?...Your all truly being blessed by him for your hard work and dedication to him. I wish you all the best guys. God bless you.
Beautiful. I am sure you are anxious to get back there.
Sooooo excited to get back up there! 😊

We lived in Palmer in 2018. You will one day see the most amazing aurora on the retired Mat Bridge where your son was fishing. Enjoy your new life
