Remote Life Alaska
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 12 ก.ค. 2022
Hello!
Welcome to our journey.
We have decided to take our small family on a big change. Moving from city life in Wisconsin where everything is given to you, to the off grid life in Alaska where everything takes time and lots of hard work. Our goal is to appreciate everything we have, and build a life we are proud of.
In only one years time we managed to deal with an unexpected amount of challenges where our grit and determination was tested. Within this first year we also learned we were expecting and welcomed our daughter into the family. If there is one thing we have learned so far it is to expect the unexpected. Let's see what happens next!

Drilling for Water Off-Grid - The final answers to our well story
The well company has officially arrived, and they brought their big rig this time. It is down to business doing our best to drill for water. Attempt after attempt, as long as they do not give up on us we will not give up on them.
Our well story comes with plenty of bad news, but determination to keep pushing may just bring us what we are looking for. It has been a stressful last year full of unknowns in regards to if we can get water on our property or not and finally having a concrete answer can put those concerns to rest.

Woodshed Roofing - Covering our sawmill and firewood
มุมมอง 26K21 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
We finally managed to quickly get the roofing up on our woodshed building. Over the majority of the building are steel panels. The area above our solar kiln we chose to go with a black tinted plastic so that light would be let in, yet the overall aesthetic of the building stayed cohesive. We still need to add the peak and a lot of screws to hold it down in place. We quickly ran out of time this...
Costco Grocery Haul - Winter Stock Up
มุมมอง 74K14 วันที่ผ่านมา
It is time for our first grocery stock up at Costco down in Anchorage. Our goal is to get enough basic groceries to last 6 months, the majority of winter. Diapers were the most important item to stock up on as well as having an additional freezer to store food. Overall this was a successful trip, we stayed on track buying most of what was on our list and straying very little. We will still be g...
Clearing more Land - Dozer work for a garden and yard area
มุมมอง 34K21 วันที่ผ่านมา
We got an opportunity to use some extra time on a rented dozer for the week so we paused projects and focused on moving things around to clear more land. We continued clearing around the house to make space for a garden area as well as a future yard. Every step gets us closer to our final vision of this property. All the land clearing makes space for new areas but also opens up the property to ...
Cleaning the Woodstove - Getting it ready for winter
มุมมอง 15Kหลายเดือนก่อน
While the woodstove was being moved around during our flooring install, we took the time to do a thorough cleaning of our wood stove and pipe. The stove has been pretty neglected over the summer so it was much needed! Signs are appearing that winter is near, the temperature is dropping along with the leaves on the trees. It is a nice feeling to be able to start a fire in the woodstove again in ...
Finishing the Flooring - Our winter plans for the cabin
มุมมอง 17Kหลายเดือนก่อน
The flooring is complete! At least for the main level of our cabin, we still have both of the lofts to do over the winter. It is a great feeling to have the flooring done and will be just in time for Rowan to start crawling. There are a handful of inside projects we want to work on over the winter time. We hope to finish our flooring, finish the walls, and start on some very important storage m...
Woodshed Trusses - Always need more logs for lumber
มุมมอง 22Kหลายเดือนก่อน
In order to continue on with our woodshed build we need to fell more trees and mill boards. With Lori's mom still being around for a couple more days we used that time to both go into the woods and focus on hauling logs to the property. We believe we have enough lumber to finish our build, now we just need the nice weather and time to complete the project. It is a busy time on the homestead but...
Installing Flooring - Fixing up the inside on a rainy day
มุมมอง 17Kหลายเดือนก่อน
We made the decision to start installing vinyl flooring in the cabin. With Rowan getting closer and closer to crawling, we need to make sure there is a safe space for her to move around so flooring got bumped up to the top of the priority list. The flooring will not only be nice for the baby but will also be a huge help with keeping our house clean. We currently have a constant battle with dust...
Building Rafters - Continuing work on the woodshed
มุมมอง 23Kหลายเดือนก่อน
We continue to dodge rain and work on our woodshed build. We finally get some rafters and floor joists up to see an overall view of what our structure will look like. We worked until we ran out of boards so like always, time to fell more trees and mill more lumber. Adding a second story storage will be a great solution to hopefully help us get all of our extra stuff from under tarps and out of ...
Fishing for Pinks - A week of Catch and Cook
มุมมอง 13K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
After dip netting for Reds earlier this summer we have plenty of fillets in the freezer but no canned fish. The Pinks started coming in so we took a week to focus on catching more fish to can for our pantry shelves. Our goal is to have enough salmon preserved and packed away to eat it twice a week until fishing next year. This extra week of fishing should get us to that goal - or at least prett...
First Meal From The Garden - Small garden harvest
มุมมอง 9K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
The first of many small garden harvests. We picked some fresh veggies to mix up a simple but yummy stir fry for lunch. The garden is just starting to really produce for us and we are hoping there will be many more meals in our future. As we plan to eat fresh from this garden as much as possible, there most likely wont be a lot to preserve this year. We will do what we can but next years garden ...
Woodshed Walls - Using sawmill offcuts again

The building progress is slow this year, especially after the salmon and berries have come in. However we are doing our best to still make progress towards our woodshed build. We used offcuts from the sawmill again for the siding of this building similar to what we used for the outhouse. However the siding for the rest of this build will be different.

Let's Make Baby Food - Turning fruits into purees
มุมมอง 6K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
We felt like trying something new. Turning fruits into purees and canning them for future use this coming winter. Rowan will be eating food in no time and this little project seemed like fun to prepare for that. We have no intentions of turning everything she will be eating into purees ahead of time, but rather just wanted a few things on hand. By canning them instead of freezing (which would b...

So happy for you guys!! How exciting!!!
Such good news about the water well!!!!!! This will make life so much easier for you!!
If you want a more robust flavor profile and color, make sure you split the bean before putting it in to your liquid. It'll still work unsplit, but I've found it's much better if you do!
Your baby is adorable. Love his little arm creases…….beautiful baby.
Congratulations on finding water Cody and Lori
Great video Cody and Lori
Good luck getting your well drilled hope u find water 💦
You were very brave to try puzzlers in your primitive little kitchen!
So happy with the results that instead of laughing you can almost cry. So we will join you and also shed of few tears of great joy! May you soon have water running to the house and be hooked up to a source of healthy, clear water of everlasting quantity! Enjoy and be thankful for this blessing!
Whoo Hoo!❄️❄️
Now, toward the end of video, the roof to sawmill is be near complete.
Hey, I swear I saw the video where the roof to sawmill was done.
Congratulations on getting water. Let me know if you need a line Installed for water.
Absolutely love this for you guys! ❤️
So happy for you guys. One step closer to total independence.
I thought you aren't supposed to lay a frig or freezer on its side? Maybe that's not the case with newer ones?
You just need to let it sit upright for a few days before plugging it in.
@@remotelifealaska Oh, okay.
Fantastic! Water finally

MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU WITH HIS WATER. John 4:13-15 King James Version 13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. 15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw
Congrats! So excited for yall! ❤
Thanks for answering all the questions & sharing your lives with us.
Love the scenery, just wish there was a way for your dog to not have to run such a long way, both ways, in heavy snow.
She sits in front of the driver when she gets wore out.
@@remotelifealaska That is wonderful! Thank you for letting me know.
😃😃
I am also concerned that you only have one door 🚪
Don’t you have any cabinets in your kitchen?
Not yet. Hopefully we will start making them toward the end of this winter otherwise right away next winter.
So happy for you guys!😃
Congratulations!! Now you should build a little utility room hut around it and get a remote start generator So you can start it from your house. Then run a water pipe to get water running into your house. Good Luck this will make your place 100x better.
So happy for you guys!!!
Congratulations. That's a big load off. Best wishes to you from Midwest.
I’m so happy for you!
Yay!!!!
Yeah!!!
Sooooo happy for you all!!!! 🚿
Just for the sake of the chicken being totally sanitary, maybe rinse it off before cooking. I think of what it has been through before being packaged.
Congratulations and thank God that you got water.
I just had a 180 foot well drilled with great water, I share your excitement!

Nice to see that the water problem has been solved. Also nice that they left you 2 poles for one side of a future equipment shed / car port.
Love the colors of the carrots.
Praying you get water. It is so essential for your success.

So happy for you!
