Life on Fish Creek

This channel is dedicated to documenting the process of one man ditching society and creating a life more suitable for the soul in the remote back country of the Alaskan wilderness, where freedom still exists and adventure awaits.

Pioneering My Alaska | A Homestead Documentary | Part 1
My name,
Ty
At 29 years old I have realized my purpose in this world. My desire for Adventure, Independence, and Freedom. To rely on my own skills and determination, to grow, provide and hunt for the sustenance I need to survive.
I have spent my life in the Phoenix Metropolitan area where summer temperatures can reach 115°F. With a background in the trades and a good work ethic, I'm trading in the extreme heat for extreme cold, and a life surrounded by modern technology to a life more connected with the natural world.
This documentary is the prologue of this new life I am building for myself.
“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:
I love not Man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne’er express, yet cannot all conceal”
-Lord Byron
(Edit):
Because many have asked for more information.
History-
This is my land, 7 acres on a salmon creek. I found an online listing in December of 2022. Purchased in January 2023. I had never even set foot in Alaska before. I had been to Northern Montana earlier that summer of 2022 and I knew I had to move north. Where? I didn't quite know yet. I spent many many hours searching for land in northern Montana, Idaho, and Alaska. When I found this land for sale, something inside me knew it was gold. I wasn't able to step foot on the property until July 2023, a very wet year, and the mosquitos were at their worst. Spent the day walking around with my rain gear on and net over my head, in complete awe of the wildness and beauty. I was pleased to find that the majority of the land was 10 feet above the creek and I couldn't find anywhere that wasn't draining water. I spent some time walking in the creek and had a king salmon swim between my legs. I knew at that moment I had made a great choice following my intuition. I have no experience in homesteading or living off grid, but thanks to my amazing family who have taught me how to think through problems, learn quickly, and work hard; I know I can accomplish my goals and live the life I dream of living.
Future Plans-
I am currently back in the desert of Arizona. I have some things I need to attend to here, such as finishing the remodel on my house. I may not be a very frequent poster of videos until I can be up there full time.
I am planning on my next trip which will be a form of cutting in a snow machine trail(for hauling in building material over winter), building a bridge over the creek, and pulling stumps and compacting the dirt in the area I plan to build my cabin.
The trip after that will be a mid-winter material hauling trip.
And then finally I plan to sell my house in Arizona and make the final move to Alaska to build and stay for good.
I hope to have all this done and start building by spring/summer of 2026.

July 7 2023 A wild first floatplane ride on a cloudy day to see the land I bought for the first time. Big plans to come soon and I am very excited. Hearing loons for the first time was amazing. Quiet, Peaceful, Beautiful, Pristine. There will be a lot of hard work in our future. Thank you to David Hicks with N2 Alaska for a great flight. Thank you for watching! Subscribe to catch our next episo...
Hey just a dumb idea. To help protect yourself from bears, create a log fence around your location and then porcupine the logs. Bears won’t climb something they know might hurt them. A simple injury is a death sentence in the winter months for a bear. If you can get an electric fence charger that is solar powered and charged, that might also help. Bears are attracted to gasoline.
Also, the slash piles. Instead of burning away valuable resources, let it dry out, and then cut it down to size. That way you can use the wood and even twigs to help heat your home in winter. Just an idea.
But other than that, I love your channel. You have a life long sub.
Just trying to stay alive!!❤❤❤
Wonderful
This is beautiful my friend
Loved it !!!! looking forward to the next vid !!!
You have good music.
Love it man! I look foward to the next segment. If u ever need a friend to partwke in the trials and work let me know.
WOW!!! Very inspiring stuff. And so the adventure begins............
The music and videography got me mate. You have a unique style that stands out amongst a somewhat saturated genre. Keep being you. Best of luck from Aotearoa New Zealand

Subscribed!
Ummm, the eyes?!? Wild homestead? Lol Enjoying your channel. Build on. As you! Thx for sharing. Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉
excellent video!!
Waiting on a new video. Watching from South Carolina.
I’ve watched probably hundreds of off grid channels and this is the first one that I’ve immediately fallen in love with. I found myself a little choked up when you had to leave. I’m looking forward to many, many more videos. It was fun to see you come out of your shell a little bit! Best of luck to you! 🍀
Thank you Sarah, you can definitely see from day to day I was getting more comfortable in front of the camera. I still have a long way to go, but I'm enjoying all of it. Especially the moments when all the cameras are put away, it's a magical place to experience and you're right at the end, I was very sad to leave.
You're my next sub after wild homestead. Can't wait for more videos. Good luck
I love watching James' videos. That means so much thank you!
I can't wait for the part 2.. what a stress relief ..
Greetings from Ohio! That was awesome to watch! Been watching some homesteading videos over the past several months and dream of what you’re doing. That spot is freakin epic!! Can’t wait to see more of you killing it in Alaska.
@@djjwm9121 Thank you, I love the location also. I hope to grow old next to that creek!
Beautiful location! Stay safe!
get a stihl instead and some proper blades (circular or ninja star shaped) and u wont have to change stuff for a long time
Where was the online listing for this. I'd love to stumble on a piece of God's country as you did. Thank you.
I loved this! Eagerly awaiting part 2!
This video deserv a lot of views, a very big! Good Luck! From Peter Eriksson Sweden Europe 😊😊😊! 5☆☆☆☆☆+!😊😊😊
Thanks fore a 5☆☆☆☆☆+ TH-cam video from Peter Eriksson Sweden Europe new subscriber & thumps up follower! Take Care Sir!
Hello Sir! If you like to learn from history, read howe russian & people of north finland did in early 1900, buy burning down everythin before plant new veggies to live of! It's very old but intresting, if it works then, it's works now! How to make chair kol for grill and heating, very much to learn if you want! Same in part of Sweden called värmland in 1700 - 1800. Google if you like! Best Luck Peter Eriksson Sweden Europe with Love to freedom ❤❤❤!
I'll definitely look into this, thank you sir Peter!
We live on 12 acres and have spent 8 years restoring and rebuilding an abandoned farm. Much for us but I was enthusiastic although fairly ignorant. Wished I'd did it sooner but wouldn't trade our riches for any money. Love the Byron.
Those kinds of riches are more valuable than any money possible! ❤️
Can’t wait for part2 🙌🏽
Dude! Oh yes follow your dream 4sure! Play safe, no long winter stays until you are dried in tight with a good stove and a lot of wood, like more than u think. I've seen everyone even harvest trees way further away so you will have more emergency ones closer to you each winter. Determination and grit is awesome; water, shelter, heat, food. Maybe put in large stone stairs to go out to middle of the river, in winter, to get your water. Who knows you may find a natural spring to connect to your house. 😊 hope to see you soon, thanks!!
hard to hear video
Watching this on your Day 36... Cannot wait to see where you have taken it to this day!
For the next part, please share more details. Narrate more. Tell us about where you get your power, all the food you must have brought, your arrangements for the boat and ATV, etc.
😊👍
Can you put a lot of hard work in you've accomplished so much looking forward to you going back to Alaska again😊
Thank you Wendy, I'm looking forward to getting back as well
Very beautiful I like your choice of music 🎶🎵 I just got finished watching your documentary in Alaska I enjoyed it very much 👍😊
Hello from Sweden, gonna be fun to follow you on your journey!
Hello I just came across your channel and subscribe I live in the high desert in California off grid and the heat is excruciating in the Summers I would love to move to Alaska exciting to see your New beginnings in Alaska😊👍
My advice, keep on keeping on! Nice video.
How did you keep the meat and eggs stored for that many days? Also how did you get enough drinking water for the 12 days?
The meat stayed cold enough for the first 7-8 days in the cooler. After that I needed to cook all the meat then kept them cool in the cooler with creek water. The eggs were farm fresh eggs, don't need refrigeration. I filtered water from the creek everyday to drink.
Your documentary was so well done! Really shows the process and love the music and poetry. Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to more and good luck with your adventures ❤❤❤
Where abouts in alaska was this property? Also was curious how much it cost to start this adventure? Buy property, tools, etc.
Music ruined what would have been an awesome video
Good luck to you! Looks like its going to be quite the adventure. Just a tip for your packraft -- the "pointy" end is your bow, the broad end your stern. you'll find it to be much easier to paddle, less resistance. Also, flip your paddle around. You have the wider side of the asymmetrical blade entering the water first- this is incorrect. the shorter side of the paddle should enter the water first-better displacement. Trust me, You'll notice a difference. ..was wondering why you didn't just buck up the logs in your burn pile and season them for future use when you return? were they punky/ rotten? anyway, very jealous- great courage and love the work ethic! you're doing what so many of us only dream of
Thanks for your tip on the paddle orientation. The packraft on the other hand is designed to be paddled this way. It's a two person raft and I removed the rear seat which can only be placed right up against the pointy end (where the storage zipper is) making that end the stern. Seems weird I know. It's made by alpacka if you want to look it up.
I don't know how you ever went back to society after that trip. I can't wait for more videos. I wish you success in the adventures.
Thank you so much, going back to society was the hardest. Tears in my eyes when I was leaving.
Indeed. I'm looking to move off grid and try some homesteading myself.....
