My name is Matt Keller. My wife and I have two kids and own a small Air-Taxi in Alaska. We make our living flying people and stuff into Alaska's wilderness.
This channel shows the process of building a structure in a location that is in-accessible by anything other than an airplane or helicopter. I hope you will come enjoy the Blue Ice Aviation Glacier Hut for a short stay starting in 2024.

I built a vacation rental in the Chugach Mountains of Alaska. Visit GlacierHut.com for more information. This video shows a couple days during the building process. The weather in Alaska changes really fast, especially in the mountains. This video shows how quickly things can go from sunshine to falling snow. In this video I am trying to dig the snow off the building site so the ground will thaw. The bad weather causes a little hiccup in my plans.

Last of the Ludicrously Long Lumber

DO YOU WANT TO STAY HERE? Book the Hut at GlacierHut.com I have been flying lumber into my Alaskan wilderness off grid Glacier Hut for the past 6 weeks.

Makes me wonder if black solid plastic sheeting would work to melt it with the sun
Keep em coming!
I’m blown away at this! Perfect deployment every time!
Awesome vid! My buddy and I went to Montague 23-24 and not enough snow. Lots of tracks but didn’t see any deer.
you should do a vid of what's actually skiable via skins out the door
You’re a dam hard worker Matt! I wish I could have helped so I could loose a little weight haha
I just subscribed last night. Keep them coming.
Ah the good ol days of adjusting your needles and re-jetting the sleds for higher altitude. How many needle circlips have gone SPROING, never to be seen again. Man ,you folks did a bang-up job on the *hut*.
Can't beat a 185. I owned three of them over the last 40 years.
Wow, the hut looks awesome! I assume it's on the "backside" of the Chugach? Anyone actually ski out of there yet? My friends and I built a hut on the Copper River looking at 8010....all logs flown in and set with a heli, good times!
Keep 'em comin', Matt!
Stunning build, stunning view. 💙
This showed up in my algorithm. Just subscribed, excited to see how you built that.
Woohoo glad this is back!
How many times do you think you handled every single piece of lumber? What an amazing project! Hope I can get up there to stay in the hut someday
The September fall colors are awesome.
My back hurts just watching you
Just ran across your channel. 40 years ago, I owned a Super Cub just like yours..N3393Z, a 1960 PA-18A. Seeing yours made me miss mine. Oh, and I enjoyed your video.
This project is so cool! Can’t wait to see more! You could probably hire a video editor
Why does Ray have a gun
You’re a real person, not one looking for a following which is refreshing. Keep it up looking forward to what comes out next
Your videos are great…. However long it takes. Life happens but we still like seeing the story.
Your story is just fun to watch, Great videos, cheers
I am so damn excited to see you posting videos again! Just remember that great production quality is of secondary importance to a perfect story with a beautiful setting and great characters. :)
thank's for continuing your video !! thats my kind of adventure !!!!!
A hut? Looks more like a palace! Balloon/conventional framing is still the best bang for the buck, it helped settle the West, as compared to log construction. I once expounded on this while doing crane work on a log structure going up on an Indian Rez on a lunch break, and only after I said it realized I was the only non native guy there, oops! We all started laughing at the same time....
Been waiting for new vids👌
I had to double check my playback speed when you were working on the starter recoil 😂.
Класс
Matt! Your videos are great! Loved each one. You’ve accomplished an amazing feat with the build of that hut. It shows your character. I hope I can get some time to rent it this next summer. Kelly and I always enjoy your content!
Glad to see you back, I'm excited to see more! The hut is a bucket list item for sure
Time flies 🛩 ; )
Great to see you back on here bruvva !
Love the videos man. Don’t stress about getting the entire series out though. Throw in current videos especially flying and anything you find people will like. Have fun with it and we’ll keep coming back.
It’s been fun watching your cabin build adventure, cheers from Canada
I wish there was smell o vision so we could smell tarmac, airplane fuel, crisp air, engine oil, skidoo fumes, frozen lumber. Thanks for the ride :)
Keep 'em coming..
Looking forward to the rest of the story. Welcome back.
Good to see you back!
oh man, I don't have time now but I will watch this tonight. glad to see you back at it.
Glad to see you back at it. Andy Miller pointed me toward your channel right about the time you stopped posting for a while. Enjoy your adventures. We are in just down the road in Glacier View.
Ah, the classic staggerwing Cub!
We demand more videos! Please…
During the GoPro bomb run it sounded like you have a Rotax powered Cub.
It's super!
