Thank you, brother!

Nice work! Did you do any filming or plan to post a video of the work you did up there? Thank you for watching!

Thank you, we're happy you're enjoying them! That is sound advice. I've got thick skin and don't take anything personally. I'm also not the type to shoot people down in the comment section, even if they are rude or do nothing but criticize. Thank you for the positivity and for watching! Best wishes to you and your family! 😁

Right? I'm excited to see how they do through winter. The only downside I've noticed so far is they seem to attract more birds/bugs/spiders. Thank you for the comment and for watching!

@@OhashiOutdoors most of the insects should subside right. Heck I'm in Florida insects never go away. ManBear doing laundry 🪣

@@garywright5556 Yes, near mid September and definitely by October. It's always nice working without the little blood suckers buzzing around your face and head 😂

Thank you for watching and leaving a comment! 😁

Thank you for giving our channel so much of your time! We will do our best to keep things interesting, and to keep the cabin trips happening every year 😁

Right?! Time goes by fast. That's not always a great thing with life, but hopefully it makes our next trip to the cabin come sooner 😅

@@OhashiOutdoors my hat is off to you man. I have no idea how far it is from Japan to Alaska but you are definitely an inspiration to follow your dreams and not let things (including distance, logistics, etc..) get in your way.

@@daveoverholt8540 Thank you again! I'm only in my 30's, but this is something I've wanted to do since grade school. Enough life has already passed me by without accomplishing any of my dreams, so my wife and I took a few bold and scary steps starting down that path. It's been a complete blast so far!!! 😁

and to you and your family as well 😊

Of course, thank you for watching and following along on the adventure!

Thank you so much! We appreciate you sticking around through the good, bad, interesting, exciting, and boring 😂 There's more videos to come over the next several weeks!

@@OhashiOutdoors Good deal and looking forward to it.

That's a great idea! I wish I would have done that on this last September trip. I guess it'll have to wait until 2025 sometime. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Thank you much! I love it for sure, and my family can't wait to come up with me! We appreciate you watching and commenting!

Definitely a wood shed on one of the next trips. Solar is farther in the future; if my family and I end up spending enough time up there after retirement, then we will definitely expand solar, water, etc. Thank you for watching!!!

Thank you! Alan lives in WA State, so it's an easy flight for him up to Anchorage. I was actually in AK in early September, so videos of that trip will start posting in about 2 weeks. After that, I probably won't make it out there until the middle of 2025 🥲 I have about 6 acres, and a few neighbors. Many of the cabins up there are either abandoned, or the owners only come out once every few years. There is also one full-timer out there who keeps an eye on things for us cabin people. Thank you for always watching and commenting!

Theres one more video from this trip coming out next weekend, and videos from my last trip will start coming out soon after that! It's always nice getting back home to see the family. Distance and absence makes the heart grow fonder 😊

Thank you so much! I feel like I have so much to learn in terms of filming and editing. Your comment is a reassuring sign though, we appreciate you watching and supporting the channel with a comment and view 😊

Thank you very much! I'll most likely be investing in a gas powered weed eater on the next trip. Hedge trimmers may also be a valuable tool out there, but even the weed eater will speed up the land clearing process. South Dakota is a beautiful state! I've driven through there a few times and wish I could spend more time there every trip. Best wishes to you and your family! Thank you for watching and commenting😁

@@OhashiOutdoors Badlands...absolute must.

Thank you, Wendy! You're in luck; the final video from this trip posts next weekend, and videos from my last Alaska trip in early September will start posting soon after that. We will also sprinkle in some family camping trips from the Japanese countryside once the weather cools down over here!!! 😁 Thank you for always watching!!!

Me also!!! It's been such a joy to watch this visit to the cabin in weekly videos. My heart sank a bit as I heard this was the last full day of this trip. 😭 I have enjoyed it so much. 💕

@@OhashiOutdoors You planned this so well that the early visit to the cabin series ends as you are able to begin sharing the early September video! Fantastic! I was truly sad to see this visit coming to an end. 😮

@@northerngardengirl I can’t take credit for good planning! I never know how many videos my footage will make. I usually just do 1 day of filming as one video, but sometimes break it up into two videos. Getting up there again this year was a priority for me, and it had to happen before mid-October when freeze up often starts. The whole second trip was planned and purchased all within 3 weeks haha😂 work has been BUSY!

Thank you! I'll being going through my Sept 2024 footage soon, as the July trip's videos end next weekend. I'm always checking in on your channel hoping for more trapper cabin videos! Best wishes to you, my friend!

Thank you much! Next upload is next weekend. Videos from my Sept 2024 trip will start being released soon after that. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Thank you, Bill! The next and final video from this trip is more relaxing too. Less work, more organizing and preparing the cabin. Thank you for always watching and commenting, Bill!

There's one more episode from this trip coming out next Saturday. It's boring and low key being mostly packing and getting the cabin ready for our departure. Videos from my Sept 2024 trip will start coming out soon, too. Thank you for watching!

Alaska isn't for everyone!

I've trimmed a lot of trees out there 🤣 what specific one are you referring to?

There was a spruce bark beetle infestation in many parts of south central Alaska some 13-18 years ago. The beetle killed all the mature spruce trees. I bet the Beaver could handle a small jet ski! While I was flying out in Sept this year, I saw the Beaver flying to another remote cabin somewhere with a quad strapped to the floats 🤣

And thank YOU for watching and commenting! It's taken lots of hard/fun work, and we are happy with the direction it's heading!

Thank you much, @michaelmartineau1373 ! That's means a lot to me! It takes a great outdoorsman to recognize another 😊 We appreciate you always watching and commenting! Best wishes to you!

That's a neighbors cabin, although they haven't been out there in several years from the looks of the place. There's only once cabin on our property for now. Great attention to detail on your part though! Thank you for watching!

I had noticed the same thing but by the time I got to the end of the video it totally slipped my mind, so glad you asked. LOL @hunthomasjr your brain is much sharper than mine. :D

hahaha 🤣 After seeing what Wal-Mart has turned into, do you think "Pain N Slave" was still that bad? I would guess Yes as an employee. Thank you for watching!

I am of the same mind as you ( @maybeebuzzy2265 )and Al, I love thrift stores!!! Love the savings and the deals but also scoring good quality older things that seem to last forever.... clothes, books and so many other things. For me part of the fun is the looking through items. I am an artist so I find inspirational items to drag home and use in my creating process to. ☺

We are very carful, thank you! There is one more episode coming out next Saturday from this trip. Videos from my Sept trip will start coming out soon, too. Thank you for always watching and commenting! We appreciate your support 😊

That would be a different story if we didn't have a warm, cozy cabin to dry off in after working in the rain 🤣 Thank you so much! We appreciate you watching!

We've seen at least two of the above mentioned animals so far! I'm still going through the files I collected during my Sept visit. The tree right behind the cabin is the largest healthy spruce tree on the property. I plan on keeping it so long as it isn't a serious threat to the cabin. Excavating out from under and around the cabin has required messing with some of it's roots, but I'm hoping it fulls through. I wan't the spruce tree population to start growing back! Thank you for watching!

That was all Alan's idea! It's much easier to identify where they are at, but the added protection is nice. Thank you for watching!

Thank you! There is one more video from this trip coming out next Saturday. It's more boring than usual, as we are just packing up and preparing the cabin for our departure. Thank you for watching!

Browning Strike Force Extreme. I've heard good things about these from other Alaskan residents and am happy with them so far! I've got some pretty cool footage on them between July - September; I'll post that in upcoming videos from my September trip.

Yes, please.

Perhaps we'll do a Q&A during one of our hot tent Japanese camping trips this winter! That way you won't have to wait until the next Alaska trip 😁 Thank you for the feedback, and for watching!

At least it’s work we love! I’d take this over a desk job almost any day

@@OhashiOutdoors no kidding, agree!!!

I'm happy you get the vibe! My video editing varies depending on how the footage look and my mood while editing 😂 Thank you for watching and commenting!!!

Thank you so much! We plan on doing more winter camping in Japan in a few months, so more videos of the whole family are coming soon!

Right?! Thats what hard work, rain, and a hot fire will do to a guy 🤣

We saw and burn as much as we can! Thank you for watching!

Absolutely. A good weed wacker will most likely happen in 2025. 1/4 down gravel will gave to wait until I live there full time and can snow machine it in after freeze up. Thank you for watching!

@OhashiOutdoors you should get some of those bags they use when they are stopping flood waters and load them with ¼ down rock, now so they are ready to go come freeze up. And a back up chainsaw.

Unfortunately, I won't make it out there this winter. I live and work full-time in Japan. Alaska is my passion project and getaway until I'm able to retire and we can live wherever we want! That is still sound advice though; I will remember it and make it happen as soon as I can. Thank you for watching!

Thank you much! It's a ton of fun out there😁

Everyone has their reason. I'd turn it into good firewood if I lived out there full time and had a bigger wood shed to store it in. I keep my little wood shed full, and enjoy large outdoor fires when I can! Plus, many of those beetle kill spruce logs are pretty rotten inside.

Thank you! North of Willow in Trapper Creek or Talkeetna has some nice cabin plots and isn't too busy (unless you go to Talkeetna during tourist season 😂). West of Anchorage in Valdez or Tanacross are also nice. You can't go wrong being in Alaska!

Muchas gracias! I will try learning how to translate👍

Muchas gracias!

And thank YOU! Best wishes to you!

Thank you for always watching and commenting, bill! Something about working in the rain makes the end of the day feel like you worked extra hard. It's also nice having a warm cabin to shut into after you're soaked to the bone. Best wishes to you, my friend!

@@OhashiOutdoors I hear you buddy. The fire you lit in the cabin and the Coleman lantern makes it feel warm and cozy. That is cabin camping. Best wished to you and your family my friend. Take care

The back and side window have plywood covers to make entry harder for the critters, but I want to build some nice shutters for the front windows one of these trips. Thank you for watching!
