THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Alone and Kenai
Alone; The lifestyle your living is similar to my lifestyle down here in (what I call) Superior-land. I have two modest homes, one in Northern Minnesota and one over in the U.P. of Michigan (approx 5 hours apart) I also work over in N.D. occasionally. The song "driving my life away" is practically a theme song! :) Though there's a grocery store in my little U.P. town, the prices are terrible, so I do a lot of planning ahead (3 Walmarts between houses) and gas (for example) is often 50 cents less in Mn. than the UP. We have the same grey in spring too. I'm originally from Northern California, so moving to a cold, Northern "weathered" place has a whole different perspective than say a 5th generation Finnish Yooper (what they call the locals). I'm curious if living in a place with so much winter leaves you feeling anxious and hurried, because winter feels like it's always looming and just around the corner. I does for me. A heated work space is such a game changer in Northern Climates in my opinion. Without it, the impossible task of cramming a years worth of work AND play into just a few short months is exhausting. I had a realization once that northern cultures, and their relationship to weather is what developed the modern world (big grand theory I'll flush out someday) :) Alone dream analysis: Well....the 1970's were awesome (I was just a kid, but I was there!) Those long dresses you wear are only topped by those boots. I was waiting to see you walk out on a stage and start singing "It's Gonna Take A lot of Love" :) Loving your videos. Your channel is going to grow fast...get ready :) --Back Waters Brenton
Alone: I thought of something else for you today. Have you slept in your vehicle before? I call my 2005 Scion Xb "The Metal Tent" :) I always have a sleeping mat and at least a good sleeping bag (never know if I won't make it home in one day) Your rig looks like it could be made into a comfortable set up in back. I've slept in -30 in N.D. before.
All I know is this guy was in Florida for a few months having huggy time with his dog, we need to start let's go Brenton instead of let's go Brandon. Enough with Brandon.
Hey Brenton! Eddie Rabbits song is very fitting sometimes 🤣 When I do my planning I will literally loop the city so I can get back out ASAP! I don’t relax until I hit open road even if I have a 5 hour drive in front of me! Even the grayish landscape is beautiful in its own way but I do like that I can see further to the sides of the highway in case an animal decides to cross😁 But Alaska has 4 seasons. Winter, June, July and August so either you’re living though winter or preparing for it! In a way, that’s what makes it fun! Of course there is a lot you can still do until deep winter sets in or starts fading. A warm spot to work is absolutely a game changer. I plan to have a few of them, even a heated greenhouse. I have worn those boots before but never in Alaska except for that skit! 🤣 Oh and this gal cannot sing! Even Kenai gives me the evil eye when I try. My channel took off quickly but once I did a video about the guns I have, I have noticed a decline. It’s steady still but I was booted out of the “fast lane” pretty quick! You know how that is 😁 But my theory is after you break that 1K monetization goal, its all about views, likes and comments. More subs does give you “street creds” and eventually a plaque from TH-cam. I enjoy helping other channels grow in any way I can and hopefully we all grow together from it. It’s also more fun that way! However if Wavey doesn’t make it as a sled dog in Greenland, she can always try Alaska! 🤣 Thank you Brenton!
@@backwatersandbackroads I did sleep in my current vehicle driving up to Alaska. I used to have a Jeep LJ 4 Door in Colorado that was all decked out for camping. There is a picture of it in Episode 13. My current vehicle is a luxury hotel compared to the Jeep but I do have a full survival container in it. Kind of a must up here. I don’t think I have hit -30 in a car though. Amazing how warm you can be inside a car with the correct gear though. 😁
@@misterz2719 LOL but huggy time with Wavey would be awesome! 😁
Real is real. Thanks for not sugarcoating it.
Sugar coating is not something this gal understands! It doesn't do well in the corporate world (as I have found out in the past) but does well out here! No time for sugar coating! 🤪🤣
When I was Paving in ALBERTA it was hard not falling a sleep going to work because going 100 miles was nothing out there I use to go 100 MPH all the time the roads are flat and straight I hated it out here water was crappie had to drink pop i was so use to of clear clean water never seen water like that before lol good video GIRL
It’s good that you made a video where it shows that not every day is a wonderful beautiful day some days are monotonous even in Alaska
oh by the way im single and 56..i dont drink or do drugs...i love the outdoors and know how to bulid and fix or trouble shoot..off grid style
I found your channel 2 days ago. Subscribed after watching second episode and now I am binge watching you. You are an amazing woman. I could not do what you have done. I am too big of a chicken. God bless you.
You could do it! You just have to love snow! Lots of snow! Snow everywhere! :-) Thank you so much for the views, comments, subscribing and the compliment! I really do appreciate that! :-)
Oh my God I love your beautiful vintage clothing that’s all I wear that is so cool and you have a beautiful figure to go with it wow!!!
Lol me too!
Where do you get your awesome skirts
Yes 👍
Love the ending. Our dogs are our angels. So pure and innocent. Thanks 🙏
Yes they are! They just want attention! Even when you are trying to pretend to sleep! LOL :-)
OMG, those boots. I'm in luv; those be ash kickin boots
LOL I do love the boots too although they are not very good to be shopping with! 🤣 Takes a bit to get them on!
Your very welcome
I get nervous driving even 15 minutes in icy freezing weather in the city, let alone through a remote area for hours. I admire your self sufficiency and competency.
Oh I get nervous! That’s what keeps me alert and cautious. But it does take its toll on you after 10 hours of doing it! LOL! At least I don’t have to worry so much about crazy drivers. Just moose running in front of me! :-) Thank you so much for the compliments and just know, you could do this too! :-)
Pure fresh air will do it.
Pure fresh air is great for everything! :-)
Those toes though!!!🥰🥰🥰
They deserve a channel of their own!🤩
LOL! I will let the toes know! 🤣🤣
😁
U should get another dog, an Airedale! They r absolutely fearless when it comes to wild animals, especially bears. Growing up in Alaska on a homestead & set net site my father always had Airedales for bear protection. I knew people who homesteaded on the west side of Cook Inlet & they always had Great Pyrenees & they said they were excellent bear dogs. My father liked the airedales becuz he believed they were fearless & agree with him. I’ve had several types of terriers over the years & I don’t care what their size is……they r fearless. Also, be cautious of the coyotes, if they r hungry they will lure Kenai out to the woods & eat him. That happened to some friends when I was living near Kenny Lake. Gonna spend some time watching all your videos now that I found u. Good luck, Patti
I keep Kenai on a tether when he is let outside. And I watch him through the door window. I have to get a fence built around my cabin so he can be just let outside. But I have heard that about coyotes and wolves. So I keep an eagle eye on him when he is outside. OMG Airedales are awesome dogs! But yeah no matter what size the terrier, they don't care how big you are, they will stand their ground! LOL! I had never thought about them for bear protection but it sure makes sense to me! I was thinking more like a Kangal :-) I do like German Shepherds too. Oh boy Kenai knows I am talking about other dogs! I gatta go! SHHHHH! :-)
I have watched every episode you have. I can not wait to see more. Your videos, along with a few others there in Alaska, are making me prepared for when I move there. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Be safe.
Ahhhh thank you Eric! That is so cool! I do try to not sugar coat Alaska. It is beautiful but it can be dangerous if you are not prepared. I think I lose subs because my channel doesn’t just concentrate on only how awesome everything is here. Or it’s my bad acting on the skits! 😜 Nahhh!! If it helps people like you make the move up here safely, that makes uploading videos even better! Thank you for always watching and commenting! 😁
The road damage made me think of what you are about to experience, summer construction😂 It can be overwhelming at times how. Kenai at the end was no buying the we are sleeping gig.
I rarely remember any of my dreams, never have.
Have a great week.
Yeah not looking forward to construction season at all! Good thing I am used to it from Colorado! 🤣 Kenai knows the routine before bed. He didn't get his biscuit so it wasn't bed time in his mind! Hey sometimes it's better to not remember your dreams! But never have? Maybe your mind is just at peace! 😁I know my dreams will calm down after a spell, but for now they sure are all over the place! 🤣 You two take care!
Hello Alone in Remote Alaska! I just found your channel today, and I'm now on episode 28. I want you to know how much I appreciate your video footage this time around. I have property in Chickaloon Alaska going on 23 years now, and raising my kiddos out there on the side of the mountain looking out at King Mountain. We frequently shopped in the Palmer/Wasilla area. We've also driven the road down to Valdez many times! Copper Center is beautiful! Blueberry Lake was a favorite for the kids and also the beautiful bridal veil falls/horsetail falls. My 3 daughters attended Alaska Bible College when it was located in Glenn Allen. Your video down Long Lake and Chickaloon Hill were awesome! Our property overlooks the Matanuska Glacier River. I am now in Texas caring for my elderly parents, but hope to get back to Chickaloon soon! Thanks again for your channel and bringing back loads of precious memories! God bless and I look forward to following your adventures!
Great video! You are very remote to put in a drive/shopping day that long. Can't wait for the projects to begin! Did you know Wasilla spelled backwards is All I Saw? Learned that on the train from Anchorage to Denali. 😃
All I saw!! I probably will never be able to un-see that now! 🤣 I am working on the rest of that video for this weeks upload! It made for a long day for sure but it's nice to be restocked! Especially coffee creamer!! 😁
I am envious of how remote you are and the scenery you show is beautiful! My son is 24 and I keep telling him to follow his dreams and don't wait for everything to be perfect because it never will be. Again thanks for sharing and God Bless!💜💙💜
Ah yes kids! If they only listened to every word we say! 🤣 Funny how they eventually come around even if they wont admit you were right! At 24, your son has the whole world in front of him! I wish I would have started this life that young! He is at the perfect age to follow his dreams! Keep telling him! 😁
It’s critical to make a store list. If you forget it you go without..
disco night…😂
That a lot of laces to do up. No wonder you didn’t leave until 6 AM.😂
Stay warm have a wonderful week..!!
Yeah when I had the three weeks to get ready for winter, I may have had to make an extra trip (or two) 🤣 I keep a running list all winter now! That list just makes getting in/out of the grocery stores go so much quicker too! That dream skit was a real dream! I don't even listen to Disco! Although I don't mind the Bee Gees! As for the boots! As soon as I stepped off camera, those boots came off! Sure it may have taken me 30 minutes 🤣 I prefer my Timberlands over heels any day! Oh and congrats on the 1K subs Ron! I know its not your first rodeo on TH-cam but your "new" channel was way overdue! 😁
When I built the cabin and then lived in it when I was away from work I’d make a spreadsheet for shopping. When ever I need a few bolts I bought the box. It didn’t take as long as Alone to shop, but it was a trail ride and then using the vehicle at the trailhead. It was a half day minimum for anything if I could get it locally in the Talkeetna area.
@@Chris_at_Home Yeah that’s why you have to get used to either making very detailed lists or pushing a project off until you can make another run. I try not to run into town too often but when I do, I pack my vehicle top to bottom! I don’t plan to stay out that long but I just want to make sure I make that 5-6 hour trip worth it! 😁
Oh my goodness. I am praying for you. Please stay safe. God bless you!
Thank you so much Lori! :-)
Dogs are the best 💙
I agree! Well said! :-)
Hi Alone! We are catching up on all your oldies but goodies!
Yes
Wait! You’ve have the same boots! 🤣 LOL It’s got to be the insane quietness that lets me sleep so hard that I can dream so vividly! Does it pass eventually?! 😁 Thank you Miriam!
Even remote Alaska is not all rainbows and unicorns. It takes planning, sacrifice, and determination. The rewards are probably worth it though. For a solo remote lady, you sure clean up nice! Haha! That was meant as a compliment, honest!
Are you kidding! Of course that is a compliment! 😁 It actually felt weird putting on so much make up but even better wiping it off! 🤣 The planning, sacrifice and determination are worth it and I wouldn’t trade it for anything! And thank you for the compliment Steve! 😁
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska I've heard it said that the first winter is the hardest. You made it through with flying colors and you should be proud! I have a feeling it's going to be a very productive summer and I can't wait to see how it goes. You are really living!
@@stevet8121 Yes they say the first is worst. And most end up leaving Alaska then or within another year or two. I guess each winter gets harder to deal with? The ones that stick around love the snow and figure out how to make it better each year. This will be one crazy year for me. Getting that roof replaced will save me some stress. I will talk about some of that in a future video. But I did find a company that will snow plow in my area so I at least know I can get down the driveway this winter even if I cant get around to buying a tractor. 😁
STOP WORRYING! THIS WAS A FANTASTIC VIDEO. YOU'RE KEEPING IT REAL AND THATS WHAT WE WANT
Thank you so much Kim! I definitely try to keep it as real as I can! Sometimes even the skits have a purpose! LOL! :-) 🧡
Keep it up my warrior friend 💪 ❤️
That will happen for sure! thank you for joining me on my journey here! :-)
I am so glad that you found a useful handyman or contractor. That’s how I get by out here I do a lot of stuff myself such as gardening, stacking wood, building fires and that being prepared food wise and what not,going to the farms and canning out and freezing but there’s no way I could do any type ,of construction stuff or handyman stuff I rely upon men to do that.
My contractor did a fantastic job! It's been an amazing transformation! Like I said earlier, you just have to know your limitations! Watching him and his crew work on the roof was amazing to watch! And they are doing a lot of other (non roofing) projects too! And yeah there are many things I will do and some thing are just best left to the experts! 😁
Aww, what a snuggler!
Me or Kenai 🤣That dog loves to cuddle but once I am asleep, he hops to the floor to sleep! Guess I kick around too much 😁
I love how you tell it like it is, I liked this video !!!
Telling it like it is, no fluff, no sugar coating! Does great for TH-cam but has got me in some trouble in the corporate arena! At least I don't have to worry about that part too much anymore! Glad you enjoyed the video Roy! :-)
Those are some Baaaadass Boots! 👢
The dreams are probably Waking Dreans.. they may come to pass.. if they do it'll hit you like Déjà vu. I've had them several times.. and it may be years or days until it happens.
Wait! So your saying I may have to deal with this for years? 🤨 I've had those Deja Vu moments before from dreams but not from any dreams this vivid. It's going to be an interesting few years I guess! 🤣 At least I didn't dream about wearing crocs or flip flops! 😁
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska well, all I'm saying is You Cannot go wrong with them Boots. 😉😊👍🏻
I have watched 27 of your videos ,I enjoy being alone ,but I would be depressed in Alaska , I hate winter & cold , I could live in the cabin , but I like to see other people ,now and again ,
There is no reason to apologize. That is your life. No one has up beat life all the time. I'm really jealous. I wish I could have moved up there while you could still homestead.
Don’t be jealous Thomas! There is still land here! I mean you have to pay for it now though! LOL. My property was originally a homestead claim. But if you move to Alaska, you still have to watch my videos! LOL :-)
I appreciate you showing real life. Loved it
Thank you so much Carol! :-)
I love whatever you put on..
Thank you so much Desire! I am so glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Arrrrrhhh your beautifull dog same as my old dog we lost him few years agohe was my best friend miss him so much it was like watching him looked the same .glad you got your beautiful dog with you .the schenery to me was so lovely i enjoyed your travels and will watch your channel different from others thank you i live in the uk x
Hello Marie! I am so sorry about your dog Kenai! My Kenai is such a loving dog. He just wants to always be around me no matter what! He thinks he is a tea cup poodle sometimes when he climbs on my lap. Sitting next to my legs he will lean into me. It's So adorable! All we can do for these little guys is give them the best life they can possibly have! They never are with us long enough! I am so happy you will be joining me (and Kenai) for our journey here in Alaska! :-) Take care!
Lovely!🥰
Thank you so much! 🧡💚
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska 👍👌🥰
I have never seen such good editing on U Tube.
It gets better each video! Mostly! 🤣 And thank you for the compliment Alan! I have been accused of not making my own videos which means someone thinks I hire professionals! Video editing is fun though. Anyone can do it! 😉🧡
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska the progress is excellent! I also watch Isabel Paige just for her beautiful videography (she’s in rural Washington state)…the outdoor shots are so beautiful, and she can make making a loaf of bread seem so real you can smell the yeast…but she wasn’t always so artsy, if you go back to her first videos they were pretty rough. Anyhow..I’m not sure if you’ve heard of her channel but it might give you some ideas on filming rugged nature. 💕
I love the raw realness of your videos! Not everything is sunshine and roses… But you’re pretty damn funny, too!
Thank you Janet! I do want my videos to show how awesome Alaska and this life is but also that it's just not made for everyone. It's a lot of work and without a lot of the conveniences of city life you have to do what you can. AND you have to have a sense of humor too! Thank you so much! :-)
Your drive to "the big village" and my boat voyage are roughly equivalent. I keep 2 extra sleeping bags in shrink wrap and extra blankets on the boat, and therefore if the weather or my fatigue level reaches a bad safety level I stay put in harbor until said conditions change. Plus you have a dog! They provide great warmth.. bring a litttle food and water and you have a great "warmer" for rest.
Takes a very special person to live in Alaska!
Oh you would love it here! The scenery is awesome and there are not too many people! :-)
Great video. Thanks for sharing your looonng day in to get supplies. You always have to be safe while driving. Starts by looking in the rearview. Must be difficult not to rubberneck, when there is so much beauty surrounding you. Even on that beautiful gray day in Alaska.🙂❤️✌️
Hello Stephanie! That was certainly a long day but so great to be done with it! I am lucky that my long drive does not have traffic! LOL! It is hard to watch all of the beautiful scenery and still watch the road for moose! It's just part of the adventure of living here! I would not want to live any other way! Thank you so much and very sorry for the late response! 🧡🤗💚
Your dreams are like mind. I've been dreaming of Alaska.
Oh Alaska! 😁 I was going to say Mark! You have boots like mine?? 🤣 Hey stop dreaming and get out here! I hear there is plenty of room!
Loved your 'dream montage'! Long drives seem to go hand in hand with living in the middle of nowhere! We try to bring everything we need from 'home' when we are heading to the cabin. It is cheaper if we can buy supplies on sale while we are south and haul them up in the truck. But, we do end up buying a few odds and ends in Watson Lake when we have to go out. We've made trips in to Whitehorse if there is a specific purpose (this past winter it was to pick up our husky that we rescued, the year before we bought a brand spanking new skidoo! First time we bought one new!) But it's a long monotonous drive in the winter. I find listening to books on cd helps, and now, I download books onto my phone and listen to those. Time flies when you are being entertained by who killed who!! Glad it was a safe, if boring, trip!
I really don't mind the long drives. I used to drive for hours in Colorado! Just driving anywhere. It's a good feeling to resupply but a much better feeling when I hit open road again! A Ski-doo is worth the trip though! I am looking into the electric snow machines I watched on a video the other day. Push button start and quiet. I have a hard time with pull starts. I can do it but still a hard time. I may start downloading podcasts too but sometimes I enjoy the silence of driving. I can listen if my vehicle makes any weird noises. Or Kenai snoring! :-)
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska We LOVE our new skidoo! After 20 years of dealing with a Tundra that always needed fixing, never being sure it would start or make the trip in or out to the cabin, we finally decided to bite the bullet and spend the money on a new one. And it has been so worth it! It's not a pull start, so I can actually start the beast. and it makes the trips in and out to the cabin faster, smoother and way more comfortable as it has seats for 2. I used to be perched on a dairy box stuffed with a pillow on the rack on the back, lol! Or when we were taking the kids out, in a skimmer behind the Tundra, which is a pretty rough ride. It was expensive, but we had the money saved and felt we were getting 'too old' to not have something more reliable. We feel slightly spoiled!
You are spoiled and deserve to be! You made something work best you could for years! I'd say the new Ski-doo was way overdue! I mean a dairy box with a pillow! You earned this new machine with enough bruises! LOL. And its always better to be able to depend on it now. So much less stress! Awesome! :-)
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska You are absolutely right! My butt does deserve a more comfortable ride after all these years! lol!
Lol....
The way this video started with the bubble bath and music made me stop and wonder just what I was about to watch.... Mmmmm 😂...
The scenery was great as always!
And I love that you don't sugar coat everything.... And that you show things like it is.
And as far as the dreams...I would say that your subconscious is telling you that the trappings of the modern busy hustle and bustle was dragging you down and that you don't need to put on a false front for anyone. you can be you.. and your new life is more peaceful for you and your style..
Lol... I loved that you showed people that no you don't record all night and just jump up to the camera... You have to get up, turn the camera on, lay back down and then do the whole waking up thing... And the dog is like nope you up so play... 😂....
I will wait another long week to see what you have going on next.... Even though it is hard to do... I could watch your channel ( and keni's ) every day...
Ahhh thank you Charles! I can always count on you! Especially if I get my video out late! 🤣 One thing I was always known for (even at work) was never sugar coating anything. Got me in trouble a time or two 😁 Heck I already lost 7 subscribers on this video already but I am not phased one bit! I really do enjoy making videos the way I like to. Even if Kenai and I have to pretend to sleep to tell the story! 🤣 I think you are correct too! Even though I have some "stress" with so many projects I need to accomplish, it's not the same kind of stress. I definitely get a deeper sleep than I ever have. It's just so quiet out here! I do wish I could upload more videos! My goal was 2-3 videos per week when I started but you know this "day job" still actually expects me to...... you know ...... WORK! 🤨 Go figure huh?! As always, thank you so much Charles!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska
You do what you can on the videos and do them the way you want!
The people that left either don't understand the life that you chose to share with us or they are the types of people that will demand that you change your life style and videos to fit there ideas...
As far as I go... One video or a dozen a week does not matter.... I will be here watching.... Smiling.... Laughing.... Etc..
Question.... What's for dinner?
I'm doing ham n beans with cornbread....
I will admit, the one thing I don’t do very well, is conform. I have always been doing things the way I want and I’m not too great at sugar coating. Just ask my kids! 🤣 Or the ex boyfriend! But TH-cam is a fickle beast sometimes. My channel was literally skyrocketing until I did my gun video. It plummeted after that video. But none of this bothers me. I am lucky to have subscribers like you and that’s what makes filming videos fun! And I love the comment section! Everyone can poke fun, compliment and chuckle at each other. Well mostly at me! 😁 It was tax day yesterday so I ate a quick meal of hot links and fried potatoes and then buried my self in taxes!! 🤓 Thank you so much Charles!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska
Uggggg taxes bad... Give me headache
This video was fine ! ❤️❤️✌️
Thank you so much Kaz! :-)
I always look forward to your videos. Never get enough of what you are doing😊
Ahhh thank you John! 😁I appreciate you sticking around!
Wow . The snow banks in your driveway still. No wonder you were snowed in!!
HA! Yeah it took the roofing contractor 8 hours to push all that snow just to get to my front door! It was at least 5-7 snow storms worth of snow though! It is melting but being covered by the trees like it is, its melting slower 😁 It is nice to be able to get out though! Need coffee cream!!!! 🤣
You are an amazing person. Love your videos. Thank you for sharing with us. 😊❤️
Ahhh thank you so much Timothy! I really do appreciate the compliment! Many more videos planned! 😁
Very true on everything Ms Alone!! People; LIVE YOUR LIVES HOW YOU WANT, YOU ONLY GET 1! MAKE IT COUNT! FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS !
Well said Josh! You said it all 😁I have nothing to add! 👍
@Alone in Remote Alaska LOL, Holy smokes really?!?! 🤣
@@southernrootsalaskanbranches7 Hey wait a sec 🤔🤣
@Alone in Remote Alaska I joking 😁😁😁😁 I would neverrr imply anything else of the sort 🤣
Ok I’m calling your wife right now and tell her to send you out for pickles and ice cream!! 🤣 I wonder if pregnant women REALLY ever ate that! 🤔
The reality of remote Alaska thanks
And thank you Mike! Hope you enjoyed the video! 😁
Wow
Thank you so much! :-)
Thanks!!
That intro... "Shaft". That made for a long day. Take care out there.
LMAO! The first draft of that skit was a bit too much for me to actually post. I ended up making the skit more PG in the end 🤣 About 7 subscribers obviously hated it enough to unsubscribe! Good thing I changed it! But it was an actual dream I had. Getting all dressed up to go grocery shopping! Even the music had to be changed! LOL. Glad you enjoyed the video Robert! Thank you! 😁
love your videos. stay safe and God bless you ♥️♥️♥️
Ahhh thank you Mark! So glad you are enjoying my videos! I hope you will stick around for a spell! Many more videos planned! 😁
Not every day in the "city" is hiliariaty every minute either! You are being real and appreciate sharing the not so glamorous side of your life and Alaska! Love your channel!!!
Well thank you kindly Sadie! I am trying to keep it as real as I can. No sugar coating for this gal! It's an honor to have you join me for my journey here! Thank you so much Sadie! :-)
Nice run into the big city, as always... Enjoy the look into your part of the state. Be safe.
It's nice to be restocked but that drive into "population" sure is nerve racking! I see three cars now and wonder why there is so much traffic! Nothing feels better than getting out of the city and hitting open road with all my goodies! Not as complicated as the way you have to bring provisions in but still a very long day! 😁 Thank you Kevin!
Wow! My uncle was a bush pilot in Alaska back in the 30s,
My great grandmother always carried her gun in the back woods of Maine. I love the woods, gardening and lost way of living. I feel like you are a kindred spirit but no way do I wear a skirt. Doesn't work for me at all but you do look pretty. As a woman we forget that cloths are a crucial choice. You are brave and if I wasnt a grandmother ,,, I would live WAY back up in the hills too. I'm not by any means in the city, but love the idea of being further in. Great videos, love your honesty, stay safe ❤ 🙏
I used to get a lot of pushback from coworkers because I would wear a dress all the time. Like they thought I was always getting dressed up for something. But I 100% prefer to wear dresses and especially out here! But the gun is mandatory for me! I wont walk out my front door without it. At least you are not in the city! Nothing beats the solitude of being in the woods though! Thank you so much Joyce! I am glad to have a kindred spirit along for my journey up here! :-)
Lol at least when you walked out of your dream u had your 6 shooter enjoy your spring hope your build goes well
Hey Rodney! You know that 6 shooter is in many of my dreams too. Not like gun fights but drawing it because I heard something in my dream. Scariest dream was being lost in the woods without my gun! 😳 I hope the build goes well too and thank you! You will all be along for the ride! 😁 Thank you Rodney!
Newish Subscriber, here! You are a snazzy dresser! I love your fashion style, especially your long skirts, boots and coats…so cute!
Always enjoy your posts.I know a lady that lived in Wasilla for 15 years and she speaks of the best and worst of that area
Wasilla is a growing town. It seems to be a very popular “Anchorage Alternative” nowadays. Some of the people living there for a long time obviously do not like how big the town is getting though. More people equals more problems. :-)
Love that drive, we will be doing it a couple times this summer. Next time to Wasilla need to plan a coffee stop by the cabin. You are always welcome here. Blessings 🙏
I would love that! Heading into Wasilla/Palmer is usually stressful to me and I usually try to get back out as fast as possible but meeting you both (and Maty of course) would be great! And I never turn down coffee! 😁 Hope your trip to my old stomping grounds was a good one! Good to be back though!! 🤣
At one point you were 4 miles from me. It is nice to see the beauty of Alaska through someone else's lens. Thanks for sharing.
It’s funny in Alaska huh?! There are only so many roads/highways out here. I did a drive video and someone commented that their mailbox was in my video! Or when I drove around in Valdez that I passed someone’s family house. Thank you for watching and for posting your own videos again! Still love the video on Pirate’s story!! 😁
Those colours are driving me wild and I'm here for 15mins. My area is alpine and we have had about two weeks of sun this summer(ha!) and we are now into winter and there is endless grey skies and rain, rain and more rain. Lovely... I have suffered serious depression over the years due to both medical issues and other very real things but I didn't know about Vitamin D. Lack of light drives me crazy. Now I know my body cannot supply me what I need, even if I did have reasonable sunshine, I take quiet a bit of D and Vitamin K to go with it. Despite the world situation and a heavy work load, I feel very good, even as I am complaining about the gloomy weather. Dreams are funny, aren't they? That bath one suggests, to me, sensory deprivation. ? And haven't you just stepped from one world to another? ? God bless.
Well you sure got that right! Alaska is its own world! And its possibly sensory deprivation but I feel my senses are heightened here. Always listening and looking around. The pure peace and quiet lets me hear everything. I also take Vitamin D since I cant get enough of that through diet or sunlight. And Vitamin C. Mostly in winter as I don’t have access to citrus all winter (YET) I will admit though, I absolutely love rainy cloudy days. They are so comforting to me. I may get more depressed with too much sunlight actually. Good thing I moved to Alaska huh?! :-)
Have a great week!
And you too Mark! Thank you! 😁
Glad you had a safe and fruitful trip, sounds like you were prepared (as usual) for it. Thanks for the springtime scenery, I've been to Alaska 3 times 4th will be this June all have been in summer but having lived in Maine for 6 years I know what Harsh winter and spring time can be like. Thanks for another great video that passed the "Chip Mirror quality test" looking forward to your next one! :-}
HA!! I passed!! Woohoo! LOL 🤣 As much as I may not thoroughly enjoy having to do the hauls, it is nice to get stocked up again! I really did miss fresh veggie and of course some caramels!! 😜 I hope you find bunches of gold boulders this time!! 😁
Looks like my part of Norway these days, grey spring. I have just changed to summertires, and then we got snow for two days. I had to work from home yesterday. Happy Easter, lovely with a couple of days off work now. 🐣 That was a good long drive, glad you had your dog company! He is not faking sleep! 😂
I think you jinxed it! You cant be changing your clothes like that! 🤣 But wait! If it got you to be able to stay home! 🤔 The grey turns to every color in the rainbow and we get to watch it happen! Yeah Kenai needs to learn to do these skits with me! He was like “why are we in bed now mom!!” 🤣
I enjoyed the video. That is one of my favorite drives the mountains are spectacular any time of thwe year as long as the clouds will give you a peek. Ive driven to Valdez fished all day and driven back home that night to get to work the next day talk about a trip. But it was well worth it the fishing wasn't great but its about the only time I relax is when I'm driving. Dogs just don't alway whant to play along with us and our camera do they. Hope you have a Great week and SWEET DREAMS. HA HA HA
When it comes to fishing, I did that all the time in Colorado! Sometimes get back to camp so late that I wouldn’t even eat dinner. Just wash up and crash! Had a nice big breakfast though 🤣 Driving can be relaxing …… in the summer! I don’t relax much winter driving 😁 Kenzie knows when I am filming. He will go lay somewhere until he hears me take the mic off. Then its play time. But acting, yeah Kenai wants no part of that. That camera might as well be a bath tub. He is scared of both the same! 🤣
I love your videos. I just found you recently and have looked up all you have posted. God bless you and your wonderful new lifestyle.
Thank you kindly Lou! WOW! That is such a compliment! So you watched even my bad videos and you're still here huh? LOL! It would be awesome to see you in the comments again Lou! Thank you! :-)
I am enjoying your videos! I am getting caught up on all of them so I decided it’s time to subscribe! All I can think is, good for you! You’re doing what you want to do and that’s what life is all about! Not the small stuff but it’s the big stuff that counts! 👩🍳
I have been dreaming about this life for a very long time! It's nice to finally be here! Like literally a dream come true. Thank you so much for the sub! I post a new video every Thursday! Stay tuned! :-)
Yes I have those kinds of dreams . It is our amazing brain getting rid of stress. I am stressed to the max. all has to be done so I can sell this house and move to my dream place in northern Michigan , and retire . It all has to happen at once or I will be living on the street . So here I go... I enjoyed the real life video very much. Thank you for the great effort it takes to make the movie.
I have been there too Steve! Well not retiring but selling my house and buying a cabin in another state! Thought I was going to have to camp or find a bed and breakfast to live in for awhile. Trying to match the timing of making an offer and getting an offer. Northern Michigan is nice country and so is the UP! I really do appreciate the compliments! As long as I get comments like that, I must be doing something right! 😁 Thank you Steve!
I may be the only one, but personally I enjoy the gray and gloomy days, with the fog. It's like you are actually in a dream. As if you are being shown a different perspective of your reality. Maybe it says alot about how I view the world. I generally don't have the same outlook or position on things as others. But that's okay. If everyday was as beautiful as the next you wouldn't appreciate things as you should. Thanks for sharing 👍
I do think the gray foggy days are nice too. In Colorado we hardly ever would get them. I almost moved to Washington because it was always cloudy and raining! But you are correct there! It’s definitely a different perspective. Like night and day. Some of the scenery will look nothing like that drive in about a month! 😳 You stay unique Ashley! That’s why you fit in so well with everyone here! 🤣
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska unique is a nice way to put it!😁
@@ashleyanderson2859 LOL! I like you even more now! 🤣
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska I do believe Groucho Marx once said "I wouldn't join any club that would have me as a member!" A rare breed indeed.😁
@@ashleyanderson2859 I love that quote from him! Along with many others 🤣
it's a good video, shows the reality of living there . It is not all picturesque, all the time . Those Grey, overcast, foggy skies really did me in (in Wisconsin)
Love the dressing up, and walking the the door skit - You do have a way of making things fun & interesting .
I'll have to see just how much sun Alaska does get in the winter - I know, different areas but still .
Pretending to sleep - love it .
Oh yes, road trips aren’t always ideal, snacks coffee and an audio book😀 Getting ready for one myself 😂 helping move my kid across the state, back home. It’s funny, I hardly ever dream, I think I’m living my dream 😃. Glad to see you had a successful and safe trip.
Well said Angie! Living the dream! 😉That trip always exhausts me! It does feel good to stock up again though! Moving your kid back home! Very nice! My son will be visiting this summer and he may just move out here. Although he may have to suffer through a winter with me before he can get to settling down in Anchorage or Fairbanks! Always nice to have the kids home! At least now that they are old enough to put to work anyway 🤣 Have a safe trip!
at first i thought i had miss-channeled 😉 but as for your dream ... hmmm 🤔. paint fumes! 😁
LOL! No paint fumes here! No glue either! 🤣 I think its called Silence fumes! No noise unless the fire is crackling or Kenai is snoring! 🤣
Well I really like the outfit.....the boots , skirt n coat then boom it was gone😯
It was reenacting a vivid dream I had about getting all dressed up to go to the grocery store 🤣 The outfit is something I have not worn for a very long time. And the fur coat was my grandmothers. Just glad it all fit still! Thank you so much! 🧡🤗💚
I LOVE IT THAT YOU SLEEP WITH YOUR DOG HAD A LAB AND I THINK HE COUND TELL WHEN I WAS IN PAIN BECAUSE HE WOUND LAY AGAINST WHERE I WAS HURTING AFTER THAT HE SLEPT WITH ME ALL THE TIME
This is a great video I love it this is complete honesty this is what I go through all the time where I live. Not half as intense as what you’re going through but driving in the cold dark gray winters about two hours places and then two hours back and it’s pretty monotonous as well that’s through the Oregon forest on the coast.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I like the drive though. Even when its gray and gloomy. I just think some people assume it's always lush and green. It is funny though because a 5 hour drive doesn't seem so bad anymore but the 5 hours back can take its toll! LOL! Thank you so much Violet! 🧡
Driving back is rough it might be good sometimes for you and the dog to catch a comfortable warm motel room just for the night and get back in the morning.
You’re hilarious. I love it. And stop apologizing
LOL! I hear you! I just want to make sure I always upload a good video! :-) Thank you so much 🧡
It is good to be financially able to live out your dream.thank you for allowing me to come along. & the video was good. See you next Thursday. Thank you.
Thank you John! I am so glad you enjoyed the video! Already working on next Thursdays upload 😁
Great video
Telling as it is with no sugar coating
Great job
Not much of a sugar coating kind of gal 🤣 I am so glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you! 😁
Thanks for sharing your day! Enjoyed the ride along! Stay safe! 🙏💕
So happy you enjoyed the video Diane! I am working on the rest of that video for this week! 😁
Loved the winter time up there!
I keep telling you Rick! You need to get back to Alaska! 😁 I'd say hurry its filling up fast but that would be fibbing 🤔
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska Wow, your making it rough!
LOL 🤣 I plan to never leave. I’m sure many plan that and life just comes up but for me, I’ve paid my dues. I’m staying!
Alone,
Good to watch another episode.
Yeah I do store hopping too.
Best Wishes.
BigT,Alaska
Hey there Big T! The store hopping would be easier if I was the only person in there! 🤣 I don’t mind it so much except that it just delays me getting back on the road into open country. Hope all is well trying to quit smoking!! 😁
thats 1 lucky dog lol great video. some day i am coming up there to see sean
LOL thank you Scotty! Sean is a popular guy though! Make sure you make an appointment! I think he has a BBQ cook off or something coming up with Lone Moose and Woolly Rhino so you could come to Alaska then and make some of those yummy butter burgers! 😁
i absolutely love all your videos
And I absolutely love viewers who comment that! 🤣 Thank you so much Tracy! 😁
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska hows your weather now ? We got snow today in northern Ontario. Looking forward to getting the gardens going.... I bet you will be glad for nice warm days as well and maybe your vivid dreams will fade for awhile.
Still gets cold overnight but the snow is melting and melting fast! I mean technically anything above 20 degrees if pretty warm 🤣 Maybe not for gardening but still feels warm. Especially after that winter! It is possible that I will be so busy this spring/summer, I wont have time to dream! 🤞
Good Morning Quick Draw!! lol!!! That's a great intro for the video, and your thoughts on "why" make perfect sense to me! Peace of mind leads to the ability to relax which leads to better quality sleep. Next Thought: Kenai... a woman who lets her dog sleep with her in her bed is the kind of woman I need in my life!!!! My "kids" spend a lot of their day on my bed while I'm working (home office is in my room), and 2 or 3 sleep with me every night. A king sized bed is barely big enough!! Hahahahaha... If I ever run across and connect with my dream woman (pun intended) I'm going to have to build a "double-wide" king sized bed... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And speaking of dreams, sometimes reality jumps in and diverts some dreams for a while. I'm still coming up in June and staying the summer working on my place (while also working full time). The dogs are staying down here for the summer. I just cannot in good conscience bring them up to Alaska before I have a safe and secure compound for them. To them a moose would be a really big deer and off they'd go after it. That would not end well... and their protectiveness, though admirable, would not be good with bears...until they've figured out those are not their new friends! So I'll be flying back in the fall. "IF" everything works close enough to "right" then I'll load them up and drive back to Alaska in the fall. Chances of "right" though are diminishing... money is getting tight, and 90+ year old parents are deteriorating. I'll be going back to see them the first week of May. Based on what I see there, and what the bottom line looks like, I'm going to have to make a decision whether to go back to AK in the wall, or winter over down south to deal with all of this other stuff, then go up next spring for the final move... the "DREAM" is alive and well... but life is throwing some challenges, just to make sure this is what I really want to do... AND IT IS!!! Highway Hypnosis... that's what it's called. We have the same issues here driving west on I-10 from San Antonio to El Paso. Once you get west of Junction, it's hundreds of miles of NOTHING!! Ahhh.... the wonders of frost-heave washboard roads... lol. I found out about them last May when Jim and I were driving along Kalifornski Beach Rd towards Kasilof and all of a sudden the truck is bouncing like crazy... lol!! THEN we saw the signs about the lower speeds and weight restrictions... Speaking of which, Jim is on his drive up to Alaska now. He was in Fox Creek, Canada last night so he's making great progress. "Driving and shopping and driving back..." sounds like my idea of a good day!!! I'm going to be flying into Anchorage on June 9 and will be there until and will be hanging out in the Anchorage area until Sunday morning June 12 when I head down south to the Kenai Peninsula. If you happen to be making another store run into that general area over that weekend, let me know and we can meet up somewhere. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Your extra footage at the end is soooooo true!!! Just like my baby boys Jax and Ganga!!! That is them to a "T". Trooper Bill, over and out...
LOL I remember your video with all the dogs (or most of them) on the bed! I was like, I guess Bill sleeps on the floor! 🤣 As for Kenai, he likes to lay on the bed but as soon as he thinks I am asleep, he will jump down to the floor to sleep. He will wake me up in the mornings though!! No snooze button with this dog! A California King double wide mattress?? I think you're going to need a bigger cabin! 😁 And definitely build those dogs a nice safe place to live! It's easier with one dog but you're bringing 4? 5? Should be nice and cozy with that many dogs in the container! It will be good on your conscience to care for your parents first. It's pretty obvious you are already an Alaskan and you cant let Jim have all the fun! Speaking of Jim, I have been keeping up with his progress via Instagram. He sounds excited (well as excited sounding as Jim can get) to almost be in Alaska! I will keep the dates in mind! Just depends on where my roof is at. Really can't wait for that to be done! Maybe live a winter without having to think my roof is going to collapse! Thank you Bill! Quick Draw over and out! 😁
Don't put much in Bill's talk of dreams. They are more like nightmares.
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska I was working on a reply and ... POOF... it disappeared, so maybe Jim is right, most of my dreams (and life) is a nightmare... LOL!!! As for the mega dog bed, no Double Cali King Mattress. I've seen a few that true dog lovers have made. I would take 2 king size bedframes and bolt them together. Then you put 2 king mattresses on top of the box springs, and there you have the perfect doggie family bed! One couple made an elaborate headboard, upholstered it and everything! It was cool!!! But no, it would never fit in the container... Hahahaha... That will have to wait for the "Big House" build. I will most likely end up taking 5 dogs north with me. Snooze on a dog??? Who are you kidding!! They never let me sleep past 7 when my alarm is set for!! Usually Britt beats the alarm, somewhere between 6 & 7:00 because she has to GOOOOO... and when she has to you'd better move quickly! She has some bladder control issues (adhesions after her spaying surgery wound dehissed). I either hear her shake when she wakes up, or I can "feel" her eyes boring into me as she set beside the bed... lol! THANK YOU!!! I feel like an Alaska already, but Jim will tell you that technically I cannot be, and give you a long list of why... LOL!!! I bet getting that roof fixed will be a huge load off your mind!! That's another reason I may have to winter-over down here... there is so much that needs to be done to this house and the property to get it ready to sell that there is no way that I can get it done in time!! I have now been informed that my son, his girlfriend and grandbaby Ezzie are going to move to Colorado Springs. Right now the target departure date is May 10... Of course!! It will be done with my trailer and truck. They will have to load the trailer the day before, then I can leave out of here on the 10th and drive up. Google Maps says it about 860 miles. I can do it one long hard day of driving if my back holds out, or may split it up into 2 parts, depending on how the day goes. When I get up there they will have a day to unload the trailer, then I'll head back here again... tons of fun!! He is really excited about moving up there and actually sounds happy for a change, so more power to them!! I'll help where I can, but I've already told them that their "cash cow" has run dry!! lol... KIDS!!!!! 😳🥺😕 You better be practicing your quick draw... We may just have to have a contest some day (unloaded of course!!!! - SAFETY FIRST, ALWAYS!!!)... LOL!!!
@@thelonemoose4718 It’s funny you say that about replies to comments. I found a few comments from you (maybe a month or longer old) that I did not reply too but I KNOW I did! I think it has to do with my internet though. I mean you were not the only one that it looks like I missed responding to 🤣 Two king sized mattresses in one room will take up a lot of space! Better plan your cabin accordingly! So your son is moving to Colorado huh? Colorado Springs is the fastest growing city in Colorado (or it was). I lived about 1-2 hours from there. It’s a great city and its further away from Denver. Has a nice small city feel though. Too many people for me though! Yeah yeah you have to be in Alaska a full calendar year or something like that, but for me, once you have an Alaskan drivers license your Alaskan (officially) Just be prepared when you go to the DMV. I had to go there three times. It DOES NOT work like DMV in Colorado or Texas! Quick draw practice daily 😉
@@woollyrhinoadventures1654 Yeah if Bill doesn’t get to Alaska soon they may get worse! 😁
Dreams can be strange. I think there is something to some dreams but also think most dreams is just the mind wondering when you're asleep.
They say we all dream even if we don’t remember them. Not sure how they know that! 🤣 Not sure if I believe that dreams always have a meaning because as you say its that time of night your brain gets to decide what to think about! It’s the “realistic” dreams that throw me off and sometime be glad I woke up! 😳
Hello Goldilocks, thanks for sharing your adventures in Alaska. The scenery looks amazing there. You look amazing too, btw .😉
Klancy!! 😳 And just where have you been young man! 😉I haven’t seen you in the comments for a spell. Thank you for the compliment! And please don’t be a stranger! 😁
I have bought an extra cooler from time to time, so don't feel bad if you need an "extra" from time to time,,,,It won't go to waste.
awesome video. I love it. You are showing the real Alaska not just all the beauty. I really had to chuckle about your cooler..same boat here but by not having enough cooler space with me I am now cooler rich. LoL Radio you have kcam 610? am in Glen Allen. Also nice to watch for wildlife etc. If you don't get a garden you can always raise some stuff in containers.🙂
Ahhh thank you! Even the greyish views are pretty in a way just not what you will ever see in a travel brochure! I came to Alaska with one cooler and now have 3 all because of needing more coolers when I make a run! Wont be long and I can start a used cooler store! 🤣They do come in handy when I need to melt snow though. I will check out KCAM 610! I didn't know about that station! I may try to sneak in some container gardening actually. At least some potatoes! 😁 Love the name change!! Thank you!
I've downloaded audio books and play them on my phone for my various trips across Kansas.
Audio books and podcasts are definitely in my future plans! And huge bags of sunflower seeds!! Thank you Alli! :-)
Haha hilarious start got the video. I keep dreaming about polar bears!! No clue why, but it’s weird. Last night a dog jumped on me as I was dreaming about polar bears and I thought I was getting attacked. 🤣🤣
Lol and the ending! 👌🏼
Polar bears! Now that would have been hard to act out! You’d have to get Lewis and Fossi to act it out together!! 🤣 You hide their ball and they will attack you until they get it! 🤣 Always nice to see you drop in here Stacy! 😁
@@CabinDweller Yeah Kenai is a hoot sometimes! 🤣
Great video as usual! Sounds like things are about to get extremely busy for you, but I'm excited for you! Hopefully this will make things easier, especially the steps inside to your root cellar. I'm sure the new roof will help a lot as well. That was a long trip, you have to plan a lot ahead for that! Take care, and stay safe!
The supply runs are exhausting but ooooooo so nice to have fresh veggies and coffee cream! I’m thinking a heated greenhouse may be required to keep those veggies year round! 🤣My root cellar was literally one of the main reasons I bought this cabin.I mean there were many but once I saw the root cellar I was like, this cant be real? 😳I have not seen another root cellar on TH-cam bigger than mine. That will literally be a project in itself BUT I can work on it during winter too! The roof is mandatory this year! I will discuss some of the “scary” details in a future video but lets just say, no way was I going to attempt another winter with this current roof! Thank you Teresa! 😁
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska I think it would be very hard, as far away as you live from grocery stores/shopping, not to have a root cellar! I hope you can eventually build a greenhouse, but first things first! Stay safe...about time for the bears to wake up!
Oh yes! Bears will be out soon and will be HUNGRY. Probably the most dangerous time for bears. I am looking into getting a geodesic dome or two (with thermal mass heating) so I can potentially grow year round. The less I have to run into town the better! 😁
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska absolutely! I dread going to the grocery store, and I'm 5 minutes away! Working on growing/preserving for myself as well! Have a blessed Easter! 💜✝️
@@teresahunter7645 Thank you Teresa! You have a great Easter as well! 😁
Have a box made and get a rack for the top of vehicle for some of your groceries...it will give ya more room in vehicle....
I made a rack for the top of my vehicle for my journey to Alaska. The only issue for me is I am too short! LOL! :-)
Reality sucks sometime. Great video again!
It sure does! It just depends on how you roll with it I reckon! So glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you Sarah!
Interesting video. Parts of the road I recognized and other part I couldn’t place. Well done.
As much as you travel around Alaska, I’m surprised you didn’t know the mile markers! Or did you 🤔 Thank you!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska I was looking at the mountains, now I’ll have to go back and look again.
@@RaisedinAlaska LOL uh oh! 🤣
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska Found it:-).
@@RaisedinAlaska I had zero doubts you would! 😁
I'm catching up ! I had a stretch where I had some wild dreams, I attribute it to the mobile home I stayed in at the time - It had a exterior addition that held a home made wood stove, to compliment the gas furnace inside the trailer. With the low ceiling I feel the dreams may have been from excess carbon dioxide. Just a thought .. Best wishes !
Hmmm....You know the saying, "A bad day of fishing is still better than a good day at work"? I would have to say that a bad drive, in Alaska, is still better than a good drive in the lower 48. Lol! Of course, then again, I am suffering from Alaska envy. :)
OMG! I am SO glad I don't have to drive in big cities anymore! But I am spoiled now. If I see three cars on the road I complain about traffic! 🙄 And I would fish all day and catch nothing instead of working!! Oh yeah! Don't be envious William! Do it! 😁 Thank you so much 🧡🤗💚
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska It's going to happen, but we just bought an excavation company, to develop our property here in Michigan's U.P., then the plan, if feasible, will be to take the equipment with us. Would you consider that wise, up there?
@@williamlockhart5031 My "opinion" about bringing stuff from the lower 48 to Alaska is to bring as much as possible! Buying stuff up here is harder to find and more expensive. Heavy equipment is always useful up here! And if you are doing it as a business! Oh yeah! No brainer!
Good to see your projects about to be happening & enjoy the moments & yes I do have interpretation for your dreams. I do look forward to your videos & see you have secret admirers, love & peace 🙏 to you
Thank you Maurice! I am so glad you liked the video! But you have to let me know your interpretation of the dream! 😁 Not so sure you could call them secret! 🤣 Boys will be boys! 😁

Hi Alone, I enjoyed this video, it gave me an idea of how the Glenn Highway is. I'm thinking about taking a ride up to the Copper River area this weekend, I just need a change of scenery. Next time you are heading to Wasilla, let me know we can do lunch or something. I'm only 45 miles from there. I myself don't have dreams, I take medication to prevent dreams because of my experiences in Vietnam, I sure wish I could dream like a normal person. Normal?, LOL. It's always so nice to hear from you.
The Glenn is a gorgeous drive! Have you made the trek all the way to the Kennicott Mine? Not sure if it is open yet though. OK next time I do a haul in Wasilla, I will give you half my list and we can get it done! 🤣 Just kidding! I like you too much to do that! 😉But I will let you know John! You know there are no normal people in Alaska! That’s why I joined the club! But I would rather you dreamt about putting on make up and knee high boots too! 😜 You take care John!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska OK! Knee high boots and makeup is out of the question, it would clash with my personality, lol. Sweetheart, there's pretty much no place I haven't been in Alaska, twice, except your place, lol.
LMAO! Yes anything other than the true Alaskan John would be odd! I’m not surprised you have been everywhere in Alaska (twice) Heck you may have strolled across my property in your trekking days and don’t even remember! 🤣
