    Hi from Dave S in North Pole, Alaska. I carefully watched your video and would like to congratulate you on your hard work. I am guessing you are in your mid twenties, about the age I was when I moved to northern Alaska 51 years ago. I lived near the Brooks Range above the Arctic Circle for many years and built a couple of log cabins on my trapline. I think I am familiar with building a place from scratch and I know the joy of the wilderness because I guided river and backpack trips in what is now Gates of the Arctic National Park. I have lived your dream and can assure you it is worth it. Unfortunately, I can also assure you that bears, especially grizzlies will have no problem tearing into your shelter and spreading your gear across the countryside. I wish it were not so, but except for a miracle of God it will surely happen. I have had them tear the wall off a trapline cabin just to see what is inside. That being said, yours is a worthwhile quest though with many challenges, especially if you plan on wintering there. I wish you well and hope you continue to keep an accurate journal as I have for over 50 years. I am using them to help me as I write a book about my half century in Northern Alaska and plan to have it published this fall. Be safe and enjoy the ride!

      @@alaskatrac Thank you Dave, I'm envious of your life, I too wish one day I could live in or around the gates of the artic. I'm certain a bear has already torn my stuff to shreds, but that's okay. I halfway expected that to happen. Thank you for your time, and I would absolutely buy a copy of your book when you release it. I won't be wintering until I can get a proper cabin built. In the description of the video I give more information as I kind of suck at remembering to talk on camera. But again, thank you for watching and commenting, I'm very excited to read your book!

    When making fire here in Alaska always remember the fire can get into the root system and travel through it.. signs of smoke coming up from locations away from burn area are a indicator...great to see your dousing and shoveling burn pit. save as much wood as you can for winter, reminds me of when i came here almost 40 years ago, grew up in Tucson , enjoy your journey..

    My friend, the next time you buy a couple new loops of chain for that Husqvarna, buy a couple loops of 3/8, semi skip, full chisel chain. I'm coming from an old man who made his living cutting timber in Washington State, the best advice I could give you, would be to watch "buckin Billy Ray Smith's"how to sharpen chain. Pay close attention to the rakers and the gullet. Your life will be much easier my friend. You are living my dream. Good luck to you.

    Hello from Maine.
    I've been dropping trees for over 40 years. You did great, but I have one piece of advice. Before cutting the tree, spend one minute cutting all the brush and foot-tangle around the tree. Watching you hammer your wedges and at the same time you're fighting that brush having to swing your axe through it. It just makes life a little easier on you as well as safer in the long run.
    Hell, if I were you, I'd take your weed wacker/brush cutter and just trim around every tree you plan to drop.
    Good luck up there, be safe.

    • @LifeonFishCreek
      @LifeonFishCreek  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +16

    • @oldguysdoingstuff6216
      @oldguysdoingstuff6216 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

      I call this good advice. Certainly while alone. With an unstable tree and a running chainsaw you need scramble-away room! Trees are much bigger here way down south, but they can do weird and unexpected things while falling.

    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.

    Just seeing creek you're on makes me think of a couple of opportunities you have. First, power generation by a water wheel. Secondly, creating a deeper pool for a more consistent water source.

    I'd keep all the wood that is cut. Your gonna need fire wood. If ur gonna stay during winter. Might want to get building a more stable shelter than the tent. Worry bout cleaning trails till ya get a small structure. Anywhoo! I wish u luck. Be safe.

    I think what you are doing is great. Just a word about the creek line. If you cut back to many trees on the side of the creek you will make it weak. The roots of those trees hold up your land. I am not trying you tell you what to do. Make a homestead without changing to much of the landscape is all. Don't change how the creek runs. For your fishin sakes lol

    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!!

    Hiya Ty, I loved the video, less talk, and more action is quite intriguing. Your work ethic is definitely to be admired....by myself...while snuggled all nice and cosy in my chair... watching you grafting away like a goodun(England slang).
    That moose head should take pride of place above your cabin door.
    Anyways you've now got another subscriber all the way from the UK.
