    What is happening? I could be doing anything productive, but I choose to sit & watch Otto fix a drive shaft? Why? What compells me to watch this? I'll never own a boat. I'll never need shaft repair knowledge. It seems I got addicted to the problem solving skills of Otto Kilcher. I can't get enough of this wise crackin' wise man. The skill of one can help so many via TH-cam. Keep it coming. Thumbs up! I wanna see what project comes next.

    Cutting that flange with the make shift drill bit tool is the coolest thing I’ve seen on youtube. I don’t think they teach that in mechanic schools.

      Otto’s suspenders are probably for boating. Buoys are red right up a channel and green are on the right going the opposite way. I’d be very surprised if he had seen the Red Green show.

    Otto, I started watching you with my children in “Alaska the last frontier.” My children are grown and gone and I happen across your TH-cam video. I’m close to your age and remember living a similar life on the shore of Lake Superior. My grandfather was a commercial fisherman with a wealth of knowledge of boats and ships, and how to repair them. You need to pass your knowledge to younger people as you and I will be gone some day. My grandfather passed suddenly and his experience and knowledge went with him. Love your channel as it reminds me of when I grew up in a small fishing village in northern Michigan.

    As someone who runs a repair shop on the side I can say that I truly enjoyed this video and seeing how you all came up with solutions to a problem. One cannot have the perfect tool for every situation and being able to improvise is a great skill a lot of modern machinists lack.

    I've never made it up to Alaska but it's always had a special place in my heart. My oldest brother lived up there for many years he owned a nice house outside Soldotna he was the Captain of a long liner fishing vessel on the Bearing sea for many years. We still have the videos he used to send home I remember always being really worried about him some of the videos out there were just wicked waves and weather. He ended up getting a divorce from his wife and they moved out of Alaska. He moved to Wyoming and then remarried and started driving semi for the fracking fields. And on one of his days off he was driving his pickup down the interstate and blew a front tire his truck rolled several times and he lost his life. That was 6 years ago now he was only 57 at the time the same age I will be this August. Sure miss him. Sorry for the long story but every time I see fishing vessels or anything about Alaska I always think of my brother

    It's sad, but most people will never get to experience or understand how those who live in Alaska are a different breed, in a very good way, from the rest of America. Alaskans know that they need to rely on their fellow Alaskans to survive and sustain year round. I miss living in Alaska. I wish I had never left, and I most definitely want to go back. It's the only place that EVER felt like home.
    It's also sad that Discovery never showed this part on Alaska: The Last Frontier. The true reality of daily life on an Alaskan Homestead. There surely would have been more viewers if this part of Alaskan life had been shown on the show.

Damn you never cease to amaze with your ingenuity. we do a lot of that here in Maine, we call it ” Yankee ingenuity” but facing an engine coupling in the boat… you’re a machine! I once had do drill a 2” stainless rudder stock with the boat in the water I used one of those magnet mounts and a go pro articulating tri-pod to hold my jury rigged oiler. Took two days of drilling and went through half a dozen Wal*Mart pillows and a stack of oil-sorb pads..
