Building Our Dream in Alaska

- We bought 5 acres of raw land in Alaska with the hopes and dreams of building our own homestead and living as self-sufficiently as possible. Here’s where we’re at 1 year and 8 months in! With a surprise little one making his appearance right in the middle of it all. This video is a quick walk through of our off-grid Alaskan homestead that we have built with our own hands. Welcome to our little slice of paradise in the woods!
Love your positive attitude! You guys have made wonderful progress with all you have accomplished. Thank you for taking the time to share your Alaskan experience with us. I am looking forward to following along to watch what you will accomplish next. Your little guy is adorable!
Awe, thank you so much! We really appreciate you following along on our journey!
We'd say "welcome to Alaska," but you were here before us. So welcome to having an Alaskan channel. We're excited to see more.
Well then, welcome to Alaska! I just checked out your channel and subscribed, you guys are doing AWESOME! Props to you for starting your channel while building, there is no way we had any time to do that, very impressive guys! Keep kicking ass! And cheers to your first Alaskan winter! May your nights be warm and cozy 🔥
Your cabin is very cute. Love the dogs. Looking forward to more episodes.
Thank you so much!!
Neat way to live. Thanks for the tour
Yes it is, and you are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Awesome cabin ❤
Thank you so much!!

Hi Haylee! So great to see you and hear you. You did a great job with the first video. We have really enjoyed watching you get started in Alaska. Looking forward to more videos. Take care 😊
@@robertpilcher3702 thank you Bob!! It’s good to hear from you!
You are totally a trooper ❤Love your outlook! I am 67though. 😅
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that ❤️
Can't wait for more!
Great video
Can't wait to see what's next
@@elizabethogrady5893 thank you so much!
I look forward to seeing more content from you. Love what you have put out so far.
Thank you so much!!
I'm a new Wyoming subscriber. From what I can see...you and your husband have been very thoughtful in what you have done and bought-very smart. You have a warm cabin-yes it is rustic but you have made it very comfortable. It will be fun and interesting to watch your journey! I know you will make your homestead exactly what you dreamed of. Heck you already have a good start. Bearhugs from this Wyoming Nana!
Awe 🥹 thank you so much! I truly appreciate that, we did the best we could in the situation we were in so hearing that online, feels really good. Thank you ❤️
Your video came up on my feed & you've got a new sub. The progress will be exciting. Love this & you're living your dream.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
Wow! Well done you both! I’m in awe!
I know it’ll be hard to post regularly with a little one but if you promise to try I’ll definitely promise to watch and comment. No matter the content. If you have Starlink you could even do some lives? Or Q and A’s if it’s freezing and horrid outside.
And you can always film then do voice overs when you have time editing.
What an achievement so far, though!
Looking forward to supporting your channel from the UK.
Thank you so much!! We are planning to keep posting as much as possible, I just ran out of data 😅 so as soon as it renews tomorrow I will begin uploading our next video! We would like to get starlink eventually but it’s a pretty hefty bill to get started. Thank you so much for supporting us though, we truly appreciate it!
Great video Haylee
Thank you so much!!
Awsome . Cant wait for the building have sidings with paint on to protect the wood from rain and sun . It will look great . Regards from Sweden
@@thomasanderson-cs8kp thank you! And me too! Hopefully by next winter we will have a larger house with siding! 🤞
I joined and I only hope great things for your channel and that it grows…your first one is great..enjoyed watching it.
Thank you so much!! I truly appreciate that!
Enjoyed getting to know your family. 😊
So happy to hear it! Thank you for watching!!
Great video!! looking forward to what's in store for your future! subscribed!
Thank you so much!!
Hi Haylee. Just found your channel. I enjoy watching Alaskan TH-cam channels. Catching up on what I missed.
Love it!! Thank you so much for following along on our journey!
Hi from North Pole, Alaska. Are you and your family down in the Willow area or nearby? I am a 50 year Alaska resident and spent more than half that time living north of the Arctic Circle. I was a wilderness guide and a trapper for much of that time. I commend you both for your bravery and persistence. Alaska is extreme and is both beautiful and deadly. Building your home was an excellent learning experience and will give you confidence in trying more things. As you have learned already Alaska is unlike any lower 48 state. Everything here is extreme. I wish you well and if you need someone to bounce new ideas off, I have a half century of successes and failures. We have two daughters in their early 30's and they are my treasure. Take care of your little guy when it really gets cold. My best wishes for you and your family in this Christmas season. God bless your family. Trapper Dave
Hi Dave! That sounds amazing! I bet you’ve got some incredible stories! And we couldn’t agree more! Thanks for reaching out and we will be sure to get in touch if we’ve got any questions!
Love that bed frame!
Thank you so much! Justin did an amazing job handcrafting it for me ❤️
Just subscribed. Good luck with your journey.
Thank you so much! We really appreciate it!
Wow, finding out your pregnant 9 days before you head up to set up a wall tent on new property in Alaska.... yeah I can see that being a bit stressful! Glad you made it through and are thriving by the looks of it! Dawson is a cutie and will really benefit from living up there im sure of it! Look forward to more videos to come. I guess YT decided since Simple living Alaska is my favorite show ever and has been for many many years I needed yet another Alaska homestead channel and I agreed 😁. Oh and if your looking for an cooking/canning/preserving/gardening channel thats in your type of climate Check out Little mountain ranch IN BC! The food she puts up and cooks is crazy cool and I learn so much from her!
It definitely was 😅 and thank you so much! He’s growing up so fast and totally feral 🤣 we love Simple Living Alaska and watched almost all of their episodes before we moved up here! And thank you for the channel recommendation! I cannot wait to check it out!
Excited to follow along...Alaska is so intriguing!
Me too! And yes it really is, this state is so incredible I can’t wait to show more of it to you!
Very small home but very cute,
Thank you so much!!
You Go Girl Go
Thank you!!

Thank you so much! And I couldn’t agree more!
Love the channel!!

Good job on the sawmill that will come in handy! Got a good start for your first year.
We used that sawmill so much when we were building, it has come in so handy! And thank you!!

Thankyou 😊
You’re welcome 😊
When the weather breaks can you show the big log hauler?
We’re hoping to get it out and use it here shortly and when we do I’ll be sure to get a video up!
Like how do you go shopping 🛍 🤔? Is there a main store nearby? Excuse me for my ignorance, but do you have to pay any land cost or monthly rent? But nonetheless, this was very interesting. Qi can't imagine just up & moving to Alaska. I'm in Wisconsin now, so I do know about the cold 🥶 😅
We live about 20 minutes from a small town that has a grocery store. We try to live as self sufficient as we can so we have one freezer full of moose meat that my husband hunted and we processed and another freezer full of fish caught in the Prince William Sound from some amazing friends who traded us for half our moose so we had more than just moose meat to eat this winter. I also make everything I can from scratch because groceries here, especially in our small town, are extremely expensive. And we purchased our land with cash and built our cabin with our own money that we saved up so we have no mortgage to pay and since we live off grid we have no utilities to pay either. Just fuel for our generators, truck, mill, logging trailer, chainsaws, that kind of thing. I grew up in MN and spent much time in WI, even lived in River Falls for a time!
New sub here! Awesome channel!
Awesome!! Thank you so much!

Welcome to Alaska! Have you run into other TH-cam channels yet? Your property is looking great!
Thank you so much!! And it’s funny you ask, we’ve run into Simple Living Alaska many times since we live in the same area along with a few others up here in our neck of the woods. It’s always so fun to run into people you watch online!
@FinalFrontierHomestead-i5t I've run into them a couple times here in Willow. It is strange but cool running into people you watch.
Lol it definitely is! But cool at the same time. We’ve been lucky enough to meet some really incredible TH-camrs over the years and most are just as fun to be around as they are to watch online, and some aren’t 🤷♀️ I know I can’t wait for the first time someone recognizes us from TH-cam!
@@FinalFrontierHomestead-i5t just an fyi, we have a TH-cam meetup every year. This coming year it will be June 21 in Wasilla. It is an all day event. We have a big cookout and last yr gave away all kinds of door prizes.
Sounds AWESOME!! I will put it on the calendar and hopefully we can make it down there! Sounds like a great time!
And -55 degree weather, frig the outhouse. I would be getting an incinerator toilet so I don't have to go out in the cold.
🤣 yeah it is not the greatest when it gets super cold 😅
Have you seen any bears on your property yet?
Not a one! We saw a very small juvenile black bear once near our neighborhood but that’s it! I remember moving up here and being terrified I was going to get eaten by a grizzly in our tent 🤣 turns out our neck of the woods is pretty safe thankfully.
😅 me 2024
haylee get snow moble
Had plenty in Montana, check out the video Our Journey to Alaska and you can see the sleds we had. We may get a snowmobile again some day, but it’s tough to enjoy them when it’s so cold and dark here in the winter.
hayle get helmets plug into sleds i ride sleds all time during day and nite you be fine
@@MatthewTeixeira-u4p yeah we’ve seen those, not too big of fans of how they fog up. Where are you riding at?
You mean you need a bigger house
Need and want are two different things on that for me personally, I want a bigger home so Dawson has more room to run around, but I love our tiny cabin and wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Nope!! Too old for this!!!
