Moving To Our Future Alaskan Homestead
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ม.ค. 2023
- In this video, we move to our brand new future homestead! It is 2.5 acres and the home is 1000 sq ft. We were so excited for this move, although it did come with it's challenges such as getting stuck in our incredibly long driveway. We truly had an "Alaskan" move as we were joined by a moose who tried to climb in our trailer!
Hi, we are Emily and Matt, and welcome to A Glimpse of Alaska! In September 2022, we (along with our 8 month old puppy Aurora) made the nearly 5,000 mile drive from our home in Florida to our new home: Alaska. We created this channel to document and share our adventures in this wonderful state.

Ok a few pieces of unsolicited advice from those of us who live in very snowy cold climates; Please get good tire chains for your vehicles! Build an enclosed porch for the front of your house, kind of like a mud room but nice. This is to help keep your heat inside the house when you come in, coats, shoes, muddy items etc come off and stay there, keeping the dirt and snow/water out of the house. Also when you can afford it get yourself a plow on a 4 wheeler or something else that can plow snow.
Thank you for the advice! 🙂
@@AGlimpseOfAlaska I’m sure already know these things but I’m a mum with kids your age and I just can’t help it. Good luck and wow what an adventure!
It's the middle of the night here in Texas and your channel popped up in my recommendations so here I am and now I can't wait to see how y'all will make it your own. Let's get started, woohoo!
Thank you so much! 😊
I used to live in a place that has life-threatening winters and it made me a firm believer in having a source of back-up heating like a wood burning stove. If you have electric heat, the power can go out during a bad storm. If you have gas heat, you could run out of gas and not be able to get a delivery of gas because of bad storms. Hope for the best but plan for the worse. (But for me personally, I love wood burning stoves anyway lol).
Loved the shot of the mountain scenery when yall were moving.
We have been looking into alternatives! Thank you for watching 😊
From Florida to Alaska wow 😳
Haha yep! We might be a little crazy 😅
I have just come across your channel and I am impressed by what I have seen so far. I wish you both well and good luck on your new journey in Alaska ( I will be watching :) )
Thank you so much! 😊
We move from Florida 🎊🎉 yeahh welcome to Alaska
Awesome! Thank you! 😊
Your new future home is beautiful. Glad that's all going good for you. Happy New year to all you best wishes.
Happy new year! Thank you! 😊
We are super good friends with the builder of that house 😁 My husband helped on a little bit of it actually!
Can’t wait to see what the future holds for you guys ❤ love from Dallas Texas
Thank you so much! 😊
Congratulations on your new homestead! Our cottage is 1000sf too. Love those floors.
Thanks so much!
The gasp that came from me when I saw your beautiful collie! It's rare to see them now a days. You guys popped up on my recommendation list.
Thank you! It’s rare for people to know what breed she is 😊
Thank you for this video! You are so young and eager! Makes my old heart happy. God bless!
What a beautiful little place you guys got there.
Glad for y'all. I personally coundn't stand a cold dreary climate.I know the summers there are ok.. but the loooooong stretches of cold and snow. no thank you !
The moose wanted to get in the trailer and go to Florida, he has had enough of the cold! Cant imagine why you would want to move to Alaska from Florida. 😃😎🇨🇦
I’m in awe of you both! Alaska is my dream…and I’m a Floridian as you were. Beautiful new home and gorgeous property! Frankly, I’d trust a gator FAR MORE than the moose 🙂 looking forward to following your adventures ♥
Thank you!! 😊
Congratulations on your new home. It is beautiful. I got a big nervous when I saw the dog with the blue jacket on inside the house. He will over heat because he has a thick coat already. I wish you all the best on your new adventure. I live in Florida now, but I also lived up north, so I know about the freezing cold weather as well. Take care of yourselves. Be careful with the moose. 👍👍👍👍God bless you both, dear hearts !
Place looks great! I'm so jealous...I wish I could move into my cabin. Have fun you both! 👍🏼
Thank you so much! 😊
Congratulations on your move. I pray that you are blessed settling in and working and building your homestead. Excited to watch the process!

Thank you very much and thank you for watching!
Congrats on your new home, Alaska is my dream ! Looking forward to seeIng how you adjust🙏🏼😉
Thank you! And thanks for watching! 🙂
Best of luck in Alaska. Wife and I made the move to Alaska. We love the state. Spent 19 years. Did the first 5 mounts in a tent. Until we found a place 12 miles off the grid . Five years in the bush life. Next move was North Pole. Spent 12 years there. Had to move back to the lower 48 because of health reasons. We both miss Alaska. Although Maine is great too. When in the bush we lived between Manly Hot Springs and Rampart. Sawtooth mountain range at the base of elephant mountain.
Thank you so much! We’d love to visit Maine some day 😊
We are new to your channel and look forward to your homestead build and adventures! Best wishes!
Hello, just stumbled upon your channel and look forward to catching up on your videos! Your homestead property looks amazing! 😁
OMG the moose!! Certain that is just one of many encounters!😮! Your have an amazing view out of all your windows!
I wish you much joy and happiness in your new home!
Happy new year!
Thank you for your kind words! Yes, we see many moose up here. It seems to never get old!
Looks real nice enjoy your new home.
Thank you!
Just found your channel, looking forward to following your journey, best of luck and thanks for sharing
Thank you for your support! 🙂
Nice layout in your new home, beautiful kitchen. Peace love happiness 2023
Thank you!
I know you have in floor heating, but since you are in Alaska and all, and sometimes the power might go out, please tell me your going to put in a woodstove for heat and cooking if necessary...they are so cozy and warm...Welcome home!
We are looking and thinking about different options for if we lose power, such as a propane heater or a generator, but I would love a wood stove! Not sure if it’s the right choice right now, but it will always be in mind 😊 thank you!
i would want a wood burning fireplace.
with the way the last two winters have gone a woodstove is definately a good idea. the wind storms have been wild, last year our house lost power for three days.
Congratulations. Your home is beautiful
Thank you for the compliment and thank you for watching! 🙂
You seem like a nice couple, I don't know if you have heard about a channel " Simple Living Alaska", Eric and Arielle have lived in Alaska for about 5 years now, and learned and shared a LOT. Good luck in your endeavor and Happy New Year 2023. I look forward to watching your videos. Get a drone !
Thank you! We love their channel! 😊
I was going to recommend Eric and Ariel as well their channel, experience and advice is the best
Somers in Alaska is another great channel
@@karencuster6030 they do not really do any homesteading on their channel do they so not sure about their relevance
Hello, we were told to checkout your channel from one of our subscribers who said we would enjoy you guys. Well they were right, loving your channel and look forward to watching more.
Oh my goodness that is so nice! Thank you!! 😊
🎉🎉🎉🎉congratulations 👏 🎊 💐 on your home 🏡
And now the true adventure begins.
Btw I absolutely love your place it’s perfect size I would add a wood stove but I enjoy fireplaces.. we are new to your channel this video just came up on our TH-cam.. I’m sure you will have many many wonderful adventures…
I am going to follow, the both of you's. On our journey. I am from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦. Very nice...
Thank you for watching!
Good luck
Nice floors!
First time viewer, but so excited for you two💥
Thank you and thank you for watching!
Awesome!👍😎🇨🇦
Thank you! 😊
Greetings from Belgium ... Good luck over there and have great adventures. in Dutch ( flemish ) Groeten vanuit belgie ...Veel geluk daarginds en beleef mooie avonturen .
Thank you so much! 😊
With the price of fuel you don't want a bigger house. Good also they didn't go window crazy when they built it. The trend has been four by six windows and making half the outside wall space windows. windows are at best R3 and lose a big part of the heat.
Just seen your video poped on my phone, excited to folllow you on your journry. Good luck.😊
Thank you! 😊
Just one thing. Your not a true sourdough until you own a leatherman and a pair of good government issue white bunny boots. (The ones made by Bata) also known as Alaskan jogging shoes. All clothing made by Carheart. The stuff with the red red lining is the warmest.
Thumbs up for Moose’s Tooth!!!
Yes!!
Hello! This video popped up in my feed and I really enjoyed it. I subbed your channel😊
Thank you for watching and thank you for your support! Glad you enjoyed the video! 😄
Welcome to Alaska from Florida 👍🏖️
Thank you and thanks for watching! 😀
Congratulations! Cool looking house. This is the second "newer" house I've seen in videos of Alaskan newbies that doesn't have a wood stove. I thought a wood stove is almost a necessity for backup if nothing else. Looking forward to seeing more videos. Love the new homesteaders in Alaska.
Thank you! We are currently looking into all options for backup heat. We are undecided at the moment, but will be making a decision soon.
Many people in Alaska don't have wood stoves actually. Generators are a more popular in an emergency.
@@chelseyledoux5366 generators fail occasionally. Woodstoves don't fail.
Your cabin looks awesome!!!
Thank you!! 😊
Good for you guys!...Best of luck to you ..God speed..I live in Central Fl. near the ocean on the space coast..Its getting crowded. It has me thinking about Alaska.
We lived on the west coast and it was getting super crowded before we left! And thanks for watching 😊
Forty times to move! You must be students, but you have so many dreams and plans. And, lots of energy ... . Looks like south central; from the scenery, way tall birches, and lots of moose. I bet you're within 100 miles of Anchorage. Just between us, I like the way you refer to moving to Alaska and not a specific location, because once you're there it doesn't really matter to you where; it's Alaska and it's either close to a highway or a plane or boat or hiking will get you to your destination. And, those that don't know or haven't ever been there wouldn't know where you are living anyway.
Just found your channel and subbed. Looking forward to seeing your journey.
Thank you for watching 😀
That looks like a young moose. First time watching you, so you have a new subscriber. Good luck on your homestead.
Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel 😊
New family to watch! Yay! New subscriber here!
Thank you for your support! 😀
Less is more in Alaska. A small, functional space is ideal. It's all about heat. Small is better.
So glad I found your channel! That's my dream. So being that I'm 60,I'll live it thru you youngins...lol
Awe thank you for watching! 😊
New subbie… looking forward to watching your journey…
Thank you for your support!
Congratulations from Maryland
Thank you!
Welcome to Alaska.
We are in the Willow area. Moved here from Missouri in November of2020
Thanks so much! 😊
Nice house. ❤
I keep trying to convince my entire family to move to Alaska ❤ it’s been a very long dream of mine for many years.. I almost have my husband on my side 😂 🙏 I pray one day I will make it. I can’t stand the heat here in Arkansas lol
I just found you. I live in TN. I do love Alaska. My husband is from Canada.
Thank you for watching! We’ve spent some time in Tennessee and we adore your state. Canada is also breathtaking! 🙂
new subscriber great video and so exciting to watch your journey congrats from south ga
Thank you for your support!! 😀
iam curious which part of alaska did you move too is it near any large towns i am also very intersted in your homesteading plans
Lower air pressure in tires alittle helps in the snow
You moved from Florida to Alaska 🥶 It's nice there in the summer and to visit but too cold in the winter and too much darkness in the winter months. But enjoy your life in Alaska I hope it works out for you all.
Thank you and thanks for watching! 😀
I’m glad YT put y’all on the algorithm. I subscribed and even watch the ads to benefit y’all. I can’t wait to hear a Q&A. I’m assuming your military……just guessing. Looking forward to more videos.
Thank you so much! A Q&A type video will be coming hopefully soon!
2 late now,,,,back in..saves stepe
I could and would never buy a home without a bathtub/shower combo, especially living in a cold climate. I live in Utah where it gets extremely cold. There's nothing more comforting me 9 months out of the Year where I can light a couple of candles, and take a hot bath for an hour and a half. There's nothing like it. Men replacing bath shower combinations with just a shower is a horrible idea especially if you only have one bathroom. And no, I do not like sitting in hot tubs are covering my body with fungus. I also feel strongly about not having two sinks in the bathroom. To me, it's a total waste of space. Where the extra sink is, I would love to have a vanity where I could sit and do my hair and makeup. The house you purchased is absolutely darling and I wish you many years of happiness
This house looks like New York suburbs!!!!!
I mean "homestead" is a bit of a stretch. Super nice place nevertheless.😍
❤
Hope you have a snow shovel for that roof!
Just found your channel here in NC. Just very curious what brought such a young couple from Florida to Alaska? Like your new home. How long have you been in Alaska? Can’t wait to see you build your homestead. Those peanut butter balls are extremely time consuming but yummy.
I believe we will be making a video answering those questions in the near future 🙂
nice house
Thank you!
You guys popped up in my feed yesterday, congrats on triggering the YT algorithm! He's a Matt and drives a Tundra in the correct and best color, this Matt that also drives a Tundra approves. Congrats on the new place. I'll also echo the advice that someone else posted about moose. They're more dangerous than bears in my opinion. Moose are mean lol.
Haha that’s awesome! and thank you! 😊
Just stumbled onto your video too. Looks great. Can I ask how much your property cost? Hello from tampa fl
