Hi there ALONE ❤ I made it back for a video at last 😂👋👋👋🇦🇺🤗 still not out of the woods as I'm in the middle of packing up house as I have to move. Sheesh. I'll send an email explaining abd catching up in the next 2-3 weeks when i find time. This was a delightful way to start my day 8.30am Sat 23 Mar '24❤ Thankyou for your resilience and good natured humour that sustains you in living your best life in your beautiful Alaska. I remember living like you are doing back in 1955 as that was LIFE for most farmers back then in the Sth Island of NZ😅. There were 9 of us , 7 kids. Dad made a clothes drying rack likr yours that was on a pulley in the kitchen wgere the coal/wood range was. The kitchen was tiny with table for eating at andxas there ws no bench space i assume mother used the table for food prep. We also had the old mangle or wringer as we called it. There was an old corrugated shed that had a free standing old bath in one side with cold water only to it, and on the side of the divide was the "laundry" ,with an old copper that was heated by fire that would heat water for washing abd wgen needed to disinfect sheests toweks etc the fire would be stoked to brong water to boing and whatever needed disinfecting was placed in the boiling water directly in the copper. Every thing went onto the outside clothes line first ( weather permitting) and then into the kitchen to be finished off or aired. So much more work back in those days to do EVERY job. NO trips to the shops in those days plus we didnt have a car ,only the big farm truck which was a cab with a long wooden deck behind it you could load a tractor on the back of it. As kids we'd sit on it up against the back of the cab and get splinters in our bums 😂😂😂Can laugh at it now 70 yrs down the track!!! Imagine such practices nowdays .😂😂😂 and yet we all survived it. Parents lived til their 70s and 80s and all 7 kids are in their 60s and 70s now. "Its a great life if you dont weaken" was a favourite saying of Mothers. LOL Til next time my lovely, stay strong in the Lord and the power of His might. May He keep watch over you, protect & bless you as you follow His will for your life. 🇦🇺🤗🙏💞👍👌✌️👏🤣✝️🇺🇸
Chlorine bleach evaporates in 24 hours so put it in your blue barrel a day before you use the water snd it will be safe for your fabrics and for cleaning. Chlorine is harsh on fabric and if you add the bleach and then do your cleaning immediately I doubt the small amount you use will kill everything that could be in there. IDK 🤷♂️ I would give it an hour or two to clean the water and a day so only the bacteria are "shocked" and not your hands! Love your channel. Hello from EdmontoN Alberta ❤😂🎉
Love your videos and I completely understand your chosen way of life. You seem as beautiful on the inside as you are the outside. Kudos to you and your way of life!
What a show! Airing your dirty laundry, Nosey hairy bearded guy (neighbor?), and daily chores. Lot's of creativity went in to the making of this one! Enjoyed it.
Alone...since it's almost time for you to start getting packages, maybe add to the next video some things you can use or might want from the lower 48. Love this video. You are a pioneer woman of the first order and there's always so much to learn watching you!!
Another great video, the effort you put into it really showed. Thanks for sharing the innovations, space and time saving ideas you have come up with. You really are making your cabin homey.
We have not gone through as much wood either. Here in MN in our part of it, we only have had 9 inches of snow this winter. Apparently we are going to get nailed on Sunday and that's okay we need to precipitation. You keep safe and as always good blessings.
Loved this one. I love to watch you do your daily things. Yours is my favorite channel. The mad scientist beginning was hilarious. Making you a man, huh? LOL Someone to help with the chores? He'll be more trouble than he's worth!😉 Yes, the peace and quiet is wonderful. I envy you. The scenery is priceless. Thanks, Alone, so much.
Cardboard is great for all sorts ! Insulating a pet kennel, a emergency door mat, Paint tin spillage mat or in your truck as protection while carrying all sorts . an seat on a cold step when having a quick coffee😁. Just flatten the boxes and store neatly after the garden mulch use , Enjoyed your video , keep up the good work . Great progress 💫😊
ACK! Love this friend, but WHOOP, you really have to put a warning in the beginning about the flashing lights, some of us can't handle that medically!!!!
My mum has grandmall epilepsy thankfully modern tvs have anti strobing technology so it doesn't trigger seizures, one of the best brands are Samsung and jvc. Also to combat flashing lights you can go into your settings of your TV and change the white background strength in contrast mode which also reduces strobing and background flashing, hope this helps lv from England xxx
I camp out in the forest quite a bit. When I do I shower with one gallon of water out of a gallon jug. Works good. When it's cold I try to heat it first :).
I really enjoy your videos. It just seems that you’re so real. N Per natural not some made up video. I was worried because you haven’t posted for a while. I’m not into live streams. I truly like your videos. Please keep them come as often as you can. Thank you. Take care stay safe and God bless.
I have really enjoyed seeing how you live. I am 62 we are moving to remote country to retire. We have had an off grid little cabin that we use for a get away. It’s a lot of work to live off grid. You do a wonderful job. ❤❤
Love the outtakes. They're so funny!! I loved the whole video!! I enjoy seeing all the progress you are doing to the inside of your log cabin. I absolutely love your log cabin!! 🤗🤗Hugs to sweet Kenai and you. Take care and God Bless
Hello Alone 😊. This is one of my favorite videos of yours in recent months. So full of information on chores and daily life. It is amazing how much work you have to do there living alone with no one to help with the tasks that need to be done. Also, when I think back to the beginning of your videos it is amazing how much progress you have made inside the cabin! You are an amazing woman and I appreciate you sharing all you do with us! Take care! 😊❤️
Hi Alone! It's always a great day when you upload a video and we get to see what you have been up to! Great idea to hang your laundry over your freezers. Your dinner looked delicious! As always you make us laugh. Another great video! See you on the next one!
To make my house more secure I made all my outside doors open the opposite way so they can't be kicked in once a dead bolts are locked it's very secure and that's not Liked here in BC because if a fireman tries to get into your house it's really hard because they can't kick in the door but I prefer it that way
Alone i got 30" of snow last week, wed nite to sat. morning , then a couple more inches saturday and sunday. Today is friday so a week later and still hav a foot or so on the ground!!!!!
Love the way you live. I grew up with a mother who loved old fashion ways as well. Homemade everything from meals to soap and shampoo. Your energy and positive nature is wonderful. Have an amazing week.
So nice to see you. I think of you so often. Since seeing your neck knife, I have been talking about them. So James bought me one for Christmas, it’s a little different than yours but equally as handy. Every time I see it I think of you. Great video 🌷🇨🇦
I could visualize a moveable ramp with a small wheeled dolly that could be pulled into the front door instead of having to lift everything all the time. I find ym Alexa most useful for timers and TuneIn radio listening.
A great video. I love it watching the beautiful mountains as you drive to the local groceries and water. The cabin is very nice and I can imagine how quiet it is in the wilderness. We have places that are almost as isolated in the lower forty eight states. I live in one of these places the mountains just aren't as scenic. Once upon a time we didn't have electricity or running water and when the power goes out and occasionally it does its not a big deal. Simple living is definitely the best way. Keep the great videos a coming.
Love your channel, in the spring you can tap the birch trees for sap and make syrup out of it a easy way is to snip the end off of a branch hang a clean soda bottle and collect the sap to drink lots of minerals and sugar in it , when the nights are still cold but gets around 50 during the day enjoy
How WONDERFUL to catch up with you my friend! This was a particularly creative, fun and well edited video! Don't you just love days like this...when you can sit back for 5 minutes and bask in the glow of chores DONE and loose ends tied up! Big hugs, Alone!!❤
Kudos to the way of life I am rural Indiana but i like my heat/hot water and water heater we use a pellet stove to save money from the heat pump/furnace but 10 miles ish from town is fine with me. Take care and hopefully you have a few friends once in a while
A few years ago, 🎉i hurt my back lifting a heavy roast from the oven swinging from the waist to set it on the counter behind me. You scared me when you lifted that bucket of kindling the same way. Bend at the hip, per neuro doc.
Okay...you freaked me out when you were loading the trash burner as I saw what I thought was a moose at first glance. It was only Big foot. He gets a pass.
Great video Alone! You do keep busy! I line dry my laundry above my washing machine. I use clothes pins......habit l guess. Outside it was necessary bc of the winds.... Yummy dinner....Have a blessed weekend.
Hello from sunny Scotland. off grid here also but not so remote. Can't help but think you would benefit from a tractor there. Many uses if it has a loader, and you could be independent for firewood.
Gosh, I just love your mental state. I want to move in! lol. I too am dreaming of moving to Alaska, in fact hubby &I just got back from Alaska last week, fell more in love with it! I find your videos of cost of living, unexpected costs, etc super duper helpful! Keep your positive attitude, it’s so delightful and I feel I can relate to you on so many levels!
Im aware that the available water vs snow content is not as great as you'd think, nevertheless, why do you not use fresh fallen snow as a water resource?
Hey, I love your channel. I laugh and learn, you're funny. I just found you today. The 1st video I saw, you talked of how you used to say, I'm moving to Alaska...". Well, that reminded me of myself. I'm too old to start from scratch now; but I still would like to visit Alaska and prospect for gold nuggets someday. I've watched others start there own offgrid channels and grow into TH-cam Stars, I hope you do too. You're strong and I'll have to keep watching because I haven't learned your name yet. Have a great day tomorrow. Doug
The recipes for the pecan chicken and spiced cheesy potatoes can be found in the video description.
Your such a find hope you know that
I have a fresh very large chicken breast from a local butcher I'm going to use for your pecan chicken recipe🎉
That Sasquatch scared the 💩out of me!!! 😂

so glad you installed those gas struts. I knew they'd make a huge difference!

I love to listen to the silence. I think it is such a beautiful sound. ❤🎉❤

The skills you have aquired are mind blowing. What a hard working lady. Mucho admiration.
I would love too live like that!!! Having to put up with most people nowadays is becoming unbearable!
Loved this one. I love to watch you do your daily things.
Yours is my favorite channel.

Supurb video of highest quality..thanking you kindly!!!!😊❤😊
Your sense of humor is delightfully twisted! I love it!
Loved every minute of it my dear! You have a sharp mind and a rapier wit!! ❤
I raised 4 kids off the grid in the grid so I know ❤ wish I was there proud of you and anyone who does this
Wow, I can see it would be easy to lose your mind in a place like that. I’m glad that I’m not that far out. YIKES!!!
So MUCH work!!😞
ACK! Love this friend, but WHOOP, you really have to put a warning in the beginning about the flashing lights, some of us can't handle that medically!!!!
Yes some people can have seizures
I have to look away…can’t handle it. But great video anyway ✌️👍
True!!!🚩

Another good video coming from you. The scenery was just beautiful and the beginning of the video had humor. The meal looks good.
You are truly a creative!
Hi Alone. The beginning segment was very funny! Thanks for a entertaining and informative video. Take care, and hugs for Kenai 🤗
You are very unique and I appreciate that you have chosen to share a bit of your life with us.
Love the outtakes. They're so funny!! I loved the whole video!! I enjoy seeing all the progress you are doing to the inside of your log cabin. I absolutely love your log cabin!! 🤗🤗Hugs to sweet Kenai and you. Take care and God Bless

Use a spray bottle with water and vinegar to clean your dishes to save on water.
Thanks!
Thank you, Teresa for your support of the channel. I really appreciate your generosity. Happy New Year!
How you were doing all of that work in the cold with bare hands and no gloves just astounds me! You are a tough cookie!
Very Strong!!!
Alone i got 30" of snow last week, wed nite to sat. morning , then a couple more inches saturday and sunday. Today is friday so a week later and still hav a foot or so on the ground!!!!!
Love the way you live. I grew up with a mother who loved old fashion ways as well. Homemade everything from meals to soap and shampoo. Your energy and positive nature is wonderful. Have an amazing week.
Your old man has done a good job with the fire wood 😊, great home 😊
Best opening segment EVER! You are awesome,Alone!👍🙏😁
Nice scenery t y so much
Lol
Talk to myself all the time.
Retired teacher so I love to talk. I say I am talking to my fur-baby kitties.
Loved your video. Thank you.
You inspire lots of women and young girls. Keep being you. I admire and respect all you do.
Your hair is really growing! Getting long again.
So authentic…
Informative and entertaining!!!
Excellent one of my new favorites…
You have a great talent!!!
Thanks from Nebraska!
😊😊

I could visualize a moveable ramp with a small wheeled dolly that could be pulled into the front door instead of having to lift everything all the time.
I find ym Alexa most useful for timers and TuneIn radio listening.
Water catchment would be top on my list. At my cabin i catch rain water and its like having a well. Works about the same. Easy to do. Nice video!
I was thinking that - Doug and Stacey - another podcast use rain catchment for their entire farm
I absolutely loved the intro. The rest of the video was fun as well, but the beginning was a great hook.
A great video. I love it watching the beautiful mountains as you drive to the local groceries and water. The cabin is very nice and I can imagine how quiet it is in the wilderness. We have places that are almost as isolated in the lower forty eight states. I live in one of these places the mountains just aren't as scenic. Once upon a time we didn't have electricity or running water and when the power goes out and occasionally it does its not a big deal. Simple living is definitely the best way. Keep the great videos a coming.
Awesome video Alone! Your videos get better and better! 😂
Maybe use some of the cardboard to line the back of your truck? It could potentially absorb any water spillage, depending on how much you use.
That Sasquatch was waiting to warm his toes... funny. 😊
Love your channel, in the spring you can tap the birch trees for sap and make syrup out of it a easy way is to snip the end off of a branch hang a clean soda bottle and collect the sap to drink lots of minerals and sugar in it , when the nights are still cold but gets around 50 during the day enjoy
I love the quiet and silence. I wanna move there tomorrow
I love watching your videos , you are a very brave lady , and i thank you for sharing your lifes goals .
I love how creative you videos have gotten over time lol
How WONDERFUL to catch up with you my friend! This was a particularly creative, fun and well edited video! Don't you just love days like this...when you can sit back for 5 minutes and bask in the glow of chores DONE and loose ends tied up! Big hugs, Alone!!❤
Those are beautiful mountains.
Kudos to the way of life
I am rural Indiana but i like my heat/hot water and water heater we use a pellet stove to save money from the heat pump/furnace but 10 miles ish from town is fine with me.
Take care and hopefully you have a few friends once in a while
These are my favorite videos. I love your projects you get done. Ty Alone.
Driving in and out of your cabin area is so beautiful.I love the scenic views!!❤
A few years ago, 🎉i hurt my back lifting a heavy roast from the oven swinging from the waist to set it on the counter behind me. You scared me when you lifted that bucket of kindling the same way. Bend at the hip, per neuro doc.
Kool life you have. I used to do all the things you do on an Island in SE Alaska.
BRAVO , ANCHOR !!!! Great video. Looks like Alaska had a meltdown !
Okay...you freaked me out when you were loading the trash burner as I saw what I thought was a moose at first glance. It was only Big foot. He gets a pass.
Great opening sequence. Loved it!!!
Great video Alone! You do keep busy! I line dry my laundry above my washing machine. I use clothes pins......habit l guess. Outside it was necessary bc of the winds....
Yummy dinner....Have a blessed weekend.
I raised 4 kids off the grid in the grid so I know ❤
What an intro!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣well well done my friend!! 👏👏👏👏 very informative also 🤗
Omg the intro was AMAZING!
What?? This fabulous!
Hello Alone.Enjoyed your longer video.We had a very mild winter here also.Stay safe.
so much heart and humor we love it you are very special
Yeah, I swear by your laundry recipe. ALL our clothing material has been rejuvenated - color & texture!! Even the old favorites.
Alone. My first visit with you. Your channel speaks to me & who I am. Enjoyed you & your video very much. So good!😮
Thank you so much I just love to watch your videos. I really hope someday to take in some of that beautiful country
I love your humor. You crack me up. Thank you!
You are an absolutely amazing woman! I am so happy that you are living your dream. You are an inspiration to us al!.
A friend and I are considering moving to Alaska. He was born there.
Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful week.
Happy Wednesday! So enjoy your videos....
Hello from sunny Scotland. off grid here also but not so remote. Can't help but think you would benefit from a tractor there. Many uses if it has a loader, and you could be independent for firewood.
You don’t disinfect the water containers?
I really like your clothesline idea! Looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Love the video you mad scientist!! 💗☺️
Really enjoy your videos ❤
Gosh, I just love your mental state. I want to move in! lol. I too am dreaming of moving to Alaska, in fact hubby &I just got back from Alaska last week, fell more in love with it! I find your videos of cost of living, unexpected costs, etc super duper helpful! Keep your positive attitude, it’s so delightful and I feel I can relate to you on so many levels!
Thanks, Alone, for this great video ❤❤❤
Love the radio. your humor is terrific. Never a dull moment.🐒💼👍like and subscribe.
Very easy going lady good video darlin😊
Lollll you are good with comedy. Nearly died on doggy's glasses
So tranquil and beautiful. I'm learning so much from your videos. How to be self-sufficient. Thank you for the time you put in these.
The music, the blue mechanic suit..reminds me of Mike Myers
Im aware that the available water vs snow content is not as great as you'd think, nevertheless, why do you not use fresh fallen snow as a water resource?
Probably because she has a dog and wild animals so possible chance of urine grosses her out
You are amazing Lady!
You can fix up an old fashioned back boiler to your stove
