This is my remote cabin in middle of the Alaska Range. It is completely off grid. This video shows the routine of arriving at, and opening up this cabin during the winter months.
Cold outside, warm inside, food on the table, fresh water from a stream, no annoying people, best companionship, no talking, what more can anyone ask for? This is the way to live.
Soon the entire earth will be like this. A paradise for the entire earth, Not for some, but for those who will be looked on favorably by the true God.
Can't agree more 👏👏
Amen, trusty dog by your side! Perfect, only need a bottle of wine.
Would love this, no people just my dog
A sauna. A _real_ sauna.
It may look like hard work, but that kind of daily routine and direct participation with nature really soothes the soul.
Just like that old time rock n roll
Only thing missing is a cigar!!

@Steve E Always one guy, eh?
Who else didn't search for it but now enjoying ?? 😊
Omg same
I searched for it and I'm not dissapointed
Me
Me. 😊
Me now I’m hooked❤
I dont think words would describe the peaceful nature of that experience.
Tranquil - an adjective - free from disturbances, like annoying bipeds.
This is my dream. I love cold. I love quiet. I love dogs. I love cabins. I love nature. I would give anything to live some place like this. To hear the sound of the cold wind whistling at night while you sleep. So amazing. I would still need high speed internet to do my job remotely though. LOL
Good morning Erik. You are speaking my language friend. We get some tremendous winds here at the cabin. At times the whole building shakes. I love laying in bed at night and listing to the storms. It is the most peaceful feeling on earth.
@Theo P Its alot cheaper than the life the average human lives. But money is besides the point. You cannot put a price on peace
Until the Wolves and Bears come Sniffing around.
Honestly starlink might do the trick. If not it will in a few years
With Starlink Satellites, you could have the best Internet even in the most remote parts of the earth. I would love to live and work remotely from such a remote lovely place, as well. I would also love to have a private jet / helicopter, to fly around for fun & to quickly visit the nearest city/town, just in case I start feeling lonely. PS: I just noticed that someone has already mentioned about Starlink. Yeah! Starlink's fast Internet would be awesome!
I found this video soothing, no loud music, no elaborate series of explanations, just nature, cozy cabin, loving pet, warm fireplace, nice lighting, and a home cooked breakfast. Ahhh!
Good morning Joanna. I am so glad you enjoyed the trip to the cabin. It is my favorite place on the planet. Thanks for watching.
Best therapy ever!!
👍 me too I love silent videos
@@luluparl1245 Indeed!
Joanna...pen pal material. You guys might hit it off
We appreciate your time and we look forward to your videos each week. So relaxing, fun, educational, entertaining, and my wife and I have a stay at one of your cabins on our bucket list. Blessings!
Hello Ryan. We are overwhelmed! Thank you for your gift. So generous. If you do come up this way we will have to share a cup of coffee and catch up. Please give our thanks to your wife. Peace
@@ThisIsMyAlaska it's not much of a house without a working bathroom with shower and toilet
in the winter that would freeze @@mehchocolate1257
@@mehchocolate1257 OMgosh are you kidding. lol
Just an idea: In Germany some restaurants have a semicircular heavy curtain just inside of the door to keep the cold from entering during the cold winter days. This curtain is hung from the ceiling on a strongly fastoned rack, and works great to keep that chill out. Might work well in your cabin there.
No talking, no music... Just alone in a off grid cabin with your best friend. Love it!
I appreciate your comments. You pretty much sum up the way I feel.
@@ThisIsMyAlaska I second that. Love the natural sounds!

I'd need just a little bit of music...but the rest I agree with.
He basically has the best of everything in one bundle- the snow, the water, the cabin, the dog, the food, the fire, the dream.
Good morning my friend. Such an interesting comment. I grew up here back in the 60's on a remote, completely off-grid homestead. 50 years later, life here at this cabin is still relatively unchanged from those days. We have better equipment and technology to be sure, but the nights are still dark and cold and silent. I wouldn't trade it for any other place on the planet. Peace to you from Alaska
@@ThisIsMyAlaska I’d imagine the peace and serenity of those cold, still winter nights is unparalleled by anything urban life can offer. Thanks for replying, and wishing you all the best that life has to give. Peace and love from Israel.
@@ThisIsMyAlaska why use a lock outside since your in the middle of nowhere?

I love storms, any kind. I love to hear the wind blow, lightning, thunder!! The dog would be the perfect companion. Bring a couple of good books and a big fire. Wow, a gas stove also, the best for cooking big steaks
Hello Joanne. We agree. To me the is nothing more peaceful than to be in the cabin in a storm. Some may find it disconcerting but I love it when the wind shakes the cabin
Man this just looks amazing, nothing but yourself, your best bud and quietness, I'm envious of you brother
Good afternoon my friend. I am glad you enjoyed the trip to the cabin. Peace
Just watching someone living a simple, off-grid natural type life gives me peace of mind. I can't wait to move out of the city.
Generator, propane, fuel, snowmobile, store bought food, yea simple natural life there. Lmfao, not to mention all the other little conveniences he bought.

Our family just spent a few weeks in Alaska last month, we're Arizona desert dwellers, and thought we were in Heaven! Such an amazing, beautiful place. You have your own slice of paradise there... Lovely home, fresh crisp air, crystal clear water, abundant natural resources, and serenity. Thanks for sharing!
You were welcome my friend. I am so glad you got to spend some time in Alaska. You know you will have to come back now.
It is wonderful.
@@ThisIsMyAlaska literally what I thought when I landed back in North Carolina from visiting last December! “I have to go back to Alaska ASAP!”
You must be very careful searching for serenity.. In Seinfeld season 9 episode 3, Lloyd Braun says, " Serenity Now, Insanity later." Be careful what you wish for. 🤪🤪 please give me a thumbs up. 👍
The simplicity and just pure solitude of this lifestyle is what makes it so desirable. Incredible
Love the fact that everytime a man sits to eat, he always offers food to his dog. Its universal.
We are so fortunate to have dogs in our lives. Stella brings immeasurable joy to my days.
@@ThisIsMyAlaska I agree, but I prefer cats. I aspire to own a remote offgrid cabin someday. Spent way too many nights sleeping in a bedroll, in a bivy, and on the ground.
Couldn't imagine how fresh that water is! My mouth is watering! 😂
Good morning my friend. It is the sweetest, coldest water on the planet. This is the fountainhead. It comes right out of the side of the mountain right here. Peace.

God, reminds me so much of home. I live in the UK since about a year ago, but I'm from northern Sweden originally. I can practically smell the inside of that cabin.
Thanks for watching my friend. Peace to you from Alaska

I live in the UK it's horrible. Much rather live somewhere like this. Why leave Sweden if you had this kind of life before?
@@Englishsea24 Met someone from the UK, so I moved in with them. I'm kinda trying to convince them to move back with me :P

Wow! Your cabin looks awesome and with the cozy glow and crackling sound going on I have a rumbly tummy now lol - thanks for taking us along on your adventures - look forward to seeing more 😊
Thanks for visiting the cabin Naomi!
@@ThisIsMyAlaska Thank you for having me! Alaska is one of the places that is near the top of my bucket list - I would love to visit a cabin like yours one day but for now I can almost feel like I'm there - take care 😊😊
I never feel comfortable in today's rat race....this lifestyle would suit me just fine. It's nice to know there others who share my opinion.
Yes there are many who do Shelly. I am certainly one of them
Most of people of today can not survive the hard conditions of the real world in nature
I hear ya Shelly, no one feel comfortable with all the crazies running around. I too would love to escape but for now I just have videos like this to keep me sane.
@@ThisIsMyAlaska my son has social Phobia this is what he wants to do build a home in a forest....
I know this looks like a very idealistic life, so peaceful and serene and away from the rat race. However, in reality, I think this would be a very hard life to be so remote and dealing with the harshness of choosing this life style, especially for a long time. Most people are not really cut out or would know how to live out there, the eveyday things you bave to do to survive, etc. Yes, some people could, but in reality most could not for very long.
Those lights around your cabin are enchanting.
Good morning Cherish. I love those little lights too. I can see them from over a mile away when I'm coming down the trail.
how wonderful!

Hey there! I am glad you enjoyed my video. I hoped to bring some of my world into yours. I am glad you are here. enjoy

Thank you Carolyn. It is so nice to have you here. So pleased to know you are enjoying our channel
Que lugar lindo de viver 😍 Quero ver mais!!! 👏
Reminds me of the life I had up in the Carpathians mountains in an old log cabin where i didn't had not even a fireplace or stove. Had to prepare my food outside using an old barrel in which i used to make fire. Inside the cabin was cold as heck. Showers were with cold water or snow. But guess what? Didn't even had a simple cold, or a tooth ache or anything. I moved back to the city after my training session, found hot water and gas at my reach and i started to have cold, flues, tooth aches, knees problems. I know that living up in the mountains is tough (even a nightmare for some people), but its all so dang beautiful. I miss that time, so next year i'm gonna move to an old friend's farm up in mountains. And i'm gonna take snow showers again :) God bless you, my friend :)
Good evening Radu. Well this is wonderful. I almost want to go with you, and could not agree more with your sentiments. I have a dear old native friend here that lives with his wife in a shanty on the bank of the Yukon River, hundreds of miles from the nearest town. He is also very wealthy. Last year I asked him why they didn't move to some tropical beach and this was what he said, "We have traveled all over the world and could live anywhere we wanted to, but there is simply no better place than here on shores of the Yukon River." I love their view of life. The things they valued were not associated with money at all. Peace to you from Alaska.
@@ThisIsMyAlaska Wow how do they buy food and other necessities or get mail on a regular basis if they are hundreds of miles from the nearest town. Or do they grow/raise all their own food? also what would they do if there is a sudden emergency like medical situation or a fire?? I'm not asking to be rude I'm just curious.............

@@ThisIsMyAlaska I Respect that...👌🏻👍🏻
It all looks like peace on earth. The fact of living off the land doing the things our ancestors you to do. To me that's real peace and happiness. Great video.
Thanks for being here C.R. I am glad you enjoyed the video.
What is that building on the right? The bathroom with hot shower and flush toilet? If not my peace and happiness would disappear the first time I had to walk out to the outhouse at 2 am in the snow carrying a bear rifle.

I've always been dreaming to live in Alaska, and this video just makes me want to move there even more.
I wish I can visit Alaska or any other state. I’ve been living in New York City my whole life. I’m kind of sick of living in a crowded environment. The only other states I’ve ever visited are Connecticut and Michigan. My dream state to move to is Hawaii. I prefer tropical and humid environments. But I’d love to visit Alaska one day and see the northern lights with my own eyes. There’s so much I want to see in this world before I go
Good morning. Thanks for watching. Alaska’s climate is dry and cool. It is pretty much opposite of Hawaii. That said, you should visit. It is big and beautiful. Who knows, you may just love it here
I love when the Christmas lights turn on. Well done sir.
Scott, thank you. Same here! We love the Christmas lights, they help with navigating around the deck after dark and they aren’t a huge draw on the generator. Peace to you.
Those lights are the perfect touch. That place is a slice of heaven for sure! Beautiful 😍
this video is so relaxing to watch. sigh. so peaceful

My work productivity just plummeted because of these videos (starting with this one). This is mesmerizing and so profoundly peaceful.
Aww,,, thank so much for watching my dear friend. I am so glad you enjoyed the trip to the cabin. It is one of my favorite places on earth.
This how we lived until I was 13 yrs old! No TV -No Electricity -No Gas We had a huge cast iron stove, down comforters, a well and as much fresh game, berries, flora, fauna as we needed! Kerosene lanterns, fresh water supply from artisan wells, good food and few neighbours! A wonderful childhood spent in Northern British Columbia! We had a log cabin and every wall opened and became a pantry! Underground food storage and a smokehouse! Our dogs, 2 horses, 2 milk cows, 5 hens and 2 roosters provided for companionship and working needs! 1 bobcat that befriended us! Injured and my mother saved him! Timothy Tom was my 1 and only pet and best friend! A wonderful and Blessed childhood!
Hello Kathy! Greetings from Alaska. You make me want to hear more of your story. I grew up very much as you described. My father dug a deep hole outside the cabin that went down deep into the permafrost. He built a ladder down into it and put an insulated cover over the top. It had shelves all around at the bottom. That was our freezer during the summer months. He ran a trapline, hunted for our meat, fished for the salmon each summer and grew a garden. It was not an easy life but I loved it dearly. What was it about that kind of a life that was so satisfying to a child? Where do we find that quality of living in the world today?

@@ThisIsMyAlaska Thank You! The best part was falling asleep in the fresh air and waking to cowboy coffee, fresh bread and homemade butter! It was hard at times but it never seemed hard! We were so blessed! My mother homeschooled us bc the closest school was a couple of hundred miles away! We were north of Prince George -She was a teacher! When I finally had to go high school my reading and language arts were advanced! My dad played fiddle and spoons-mom sang and she played a wash board! Wonderful life!
@@mimrankiyani Subscribed Thank You!

Your love and dedication for, both, Alaska and cinematography ought to be commended. There are only a few men of your caliber. Living in the extreme cold conditions of Alaska in winter is not easy, as it requires one to expend much energy just in keeping himself warm. Kudos to you.
Thank you David. Peace
@@MakeB711 Hello my friend. I would be happy to discuss your questions and try to provide some answers. There are resources I would direct you to in regards to finding and purchasing remote property. This particular property does not have property tax but many other pieces will. There are few rules for construction of a single-family homes built outside of the cities. Building a cabin takes a time commitment and a some money too. There are lots of things that have to be purchased. That said, I think it is a middle-class kind of thing, a dream in reach of many people if they want it bad enough. If you want more information feel free to drop me an email. thisismyalaskalife@gmail.com. I will do my best to answer your questions. Peace.
One of my favorites. I love seeing hard work followed by relaxing time like this
The older I get, the more I can picture myself in a remote setting surrounded by peace and quiet. Great vids and I'll continue to watch. Kicking back next to a wood stove, a hot cup of coffee and a good book is good for the soul.
I have to agree. I'm 55 and outdoors kind of gal. What is it that makes us crave No distractions and peace 😄😄 I love cooking a hot meal and baking and a good book 🤗

Hello Steve. Thank you for your comment. I encourage you to pursue your vision. Please don't let the uncertainties of getting older deter you. I turn 57 this year and I am looking forward to the next couple of decades here in the mountains. I have good friends here in their 80's that are still living on their homesteads (more than a few). I also agree with the comment below by Lee Lunk, we all need to eat healthy and exercise in order to take full advantage of our later years. You can do just about anything you realistically dream of doing. I encourage you to go for it.

You're an inspiration. I've always wanted this type of life style, reminds me of my childhood in a small village. I'm in my late 20s, but plan on building a log cabin somewhere in Alaska after a saving up money. And peace to you from Tenn.

Looks like heaven on earth! Thought we would retire to our cabin, and then one day my husband decided he'd had enough snow after a horrible ski accident and wanted to retire to a beach. I'm a mountain/snow girl so the sale of our cabin has hit me hard. Thanks for sharing the serenity of your world.
Good evening my friend. I am so sorry to hear about your husband's accident and having to leave the mountains. I love the beach too but I would miss the mountains so much. There was a period of time in my life when I wanted to sail so badly. I wanted to experience being out on the ocean alone at night, under that huge sky. Truthfully, I would still love to experience that. Maybe some day. But for now, this cabin up above timberline, comes close. Peace to you my friend.
@Robert Hamilton "You are a good woman, that knows her place". What fuxking kingdom, territory, region (place) is that then? You seem very scholarly and knowledgeable plz share your thoughts of wisdom insight and understanding with us, hopeless souls. *cant wait for this shxt(smh)
Why on earth would you sell it? If you wanted to go there, go there. You don't need to retire somewhere you don't want to, just like your husband doesn't have to either.
@@hellomimibanana Our retirement doesn’t plan for 3 homes, just 2, which is primary residence and (now) a beach house. Besides, my husband has let me choose all the gorgeous properties we’ve owned. Fair is fair, and I feel that he should get to pick at least one location. Besides, a one month rental during snow season should restore my soul annually!
Should have sold your husband not your cabin!
Thank you for sharing this experience with us,i really enjoy watching it, because I also like this kind of cold snowy environment.😊

He had me at the spring water, looks so refreshing. He seems very comfortable and cozy, except for shoveling snow, lol.
Hello Thelma! Thank you for watching and commenting. This water is right out of the side of the mountain. I am standing at the fountainhead. It flows all year long, even at -40F. It is the sweetest water I have ever tasted. It makes fabulous coffee!
Can remember stopping at a spring fed water hole to get water before going to camp.
@@ThisIsMyAlaska spring water is a true gift.
I saw a comment about shoveling snow. When I lived in Alaska I found it very therapeutic to shovel the driveway. I had a snow blower but often I shoveled it. It was magic. The cabin you see here is luxury and looks very new with all the mod cons. Would be ideal. Even a more modest place is still heaven. What you are not seeing is the wildlife that passes by. Moose, birds squirrels occasional bear. It is heaven on earth.

Me encantó tu vídeo ! Ver cómo pueden sobrevivir al frío ... saludos desde Ecuador 🇪🇨
I spent a part of my childhood in Alaska and I remember our hunting and fishing trips and living like this. That was before generators were available/affordable for regular people. I loved that life.
Good afternoon Debbie. I love those stories. I grew up on the outskirts of Nenana. We hauled our water from the creek, a mile or so away, we heated only with wood, and our only "plumbing" was an outhouse. My dad dug a 10-foot-deep hole down into the permafrost and covered it with an insulated cover. He put a ladder down into it and built shelves down there. That was our freezer during the summer months. I remember when we got our first generator. It was a 4-kW Witte. My mom was so happy. Of course we didn't call it "living off-grid" back then, it was just "living". Over a half century later I am still trying to get back to that simple way of life and I believe I will make it. Thanks for the memories. Peace.
Nice hearing that, Hello how are you ?
These are some survival skills. I would die the first day of cold, not knowing how to warm up the cabin. Love to watch and learn.
Good evening Raya. Thank you for watching. Many times I arrive at the cabin (in the winter) at very cold temperatures. The wind is often blowing very hard as well. I have redundant methods of quick fire starting because I have learned how important it is to have a reliable heat source. When I leave, I always make sure the fire-starting essentials are all prepared for my return. Peace.
I always forget that some people don't grow up in the middle of nowhere with extreme winters that require you learning these things. Sobering reminder that I have a lot more skills than I think I do.
Hardly survival, everything is in place, jyst walk in and light the fire

Thank you Sathya. Hearing from kind people like you, from all parts of the world, I one of my favorite things about this hobby. I never dreamed I would meet and talk with so many wonderful friends. Bear hugs from Alaska.
Though extremely beautiful, living in such conditions would be extremely tough. Being from India, our summers are bad but then it is not extreme. It looks very beautiful. Nice for an experience. Deep in Himachal, Kashmir and Uttarakhand , living in winter becomes a challenge. Not to talk of Siachen, Drass and Zansker
@@deepakpuri4320 True but what fascinates me in this video is the serene calm night, you all by yourself, your best friend as your companion, a warm hearth and tranquility.

More than anything, you will fall in love with yourself. We deserve this Deepak at some point of time in life. We need to love our own self. God bless you.

@Tommy Barlow 😯😯
I lived in AK for 2 years. One day, I’ll move back into my own cabin. The most beautiful place on earth.
Good evening Rob. I hope you do find your way back to Alaska. There is no place on earth I would rather be.
So amazing place and so peaceful!🥰
Wow! that was awesome 💖 thank you for sharing 🙂
World's envey....this is my Alaska's pride....cant took of eyes watching all activities..gave me coolest sleep ever dreaming about sleeping in this warm home...love from Pune India
Aww,,, thanks Mahesh! Such kind words. I am so glad you enjoyed the cabin. Incidentally, the cabin is a wonderful place to get a good night's sleep. So quiet there.
Very Nice, Love the simplicity and pureness of it. The lights on the house after hooking up the generator are fabulous. Stay well and thanks for posting. William
It cracks me up a little seeing all the comments about him being warm in the cabin while it is cold outside. What most of the people watching this don't realize, is how long it takes a cabin to warm up inside when it has been at ambient winter temperature for weeks (or longer). Especially a log cabin which has a whole lot of thermal mass. Had a log cabin in McCarthy for 12 years; BTDT. The kerosene heater supplementing the wood stove is going to help, but it probably wasn't too warm in there until the next morning. The oil heater for sure would work better than the little propane heater we had (but then you have smelly kerosene in the living space). My brother and I hiked in one February at maybe -15F or -20F, and that was actually the day it had warmed up, so the cabin had been at 30 or 40 below for weeks. It was too cold for the propane heater to start, since propane won't atomize at those temperatures. We spent a rather unpleasant night keeping the wood stove fed, while it slowly brought the temperature up.
McCarty, one of my favorite places on the planet
@@ThisIsMyAlaska I miss it. My partner in the cabin wanted out, and I didn't want to keep it bad enough to buy out his half. Just bought a new lot in the Lake Louise area and I am starting from scratch this year.
This is soooo cool, the tranquility is beautiful ❤
The beginnings of a great story. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Hey there Steve! Thanks for watching. I am super excited to share the country and the life that I love so much. I think this will be a great adventure for all of us.
Simplicity, it's a great way to live. The special woman in my life lived in a semi truck in Alaska, on a route from Anchorage to a remote northern part of the state when she was married from 1981 until 1989. Her and I are natives of central Arizona and she never got used to living in Alaska. Thanks for sharing the video.
A trip connected with the environment. A different experience. Some beautiful days. Nice video❄❄❄❄
Peace, at the end of any day that's what matters. Happy to know that you feel happy
Great video showing how off the grid living is in Alaska. Very peaceful and soothing.
Now thats the place to escape and catch up on reading my 5 books.
That's a fact! Thanks for watching Eddie.
@@ThisIsMyAlaska Always thats a great getaway.
@@eddiereynoza1130 I would love such a cabin and to live so far away from people, hut my problems would be the possibility of a leaking roof, burst or blocked pipes, failing electricity - things which can easily be attended to in the city. In that part of the world, he has to rely on himself to attend to such inconveniences and what happens if he accidentally locks himself out? He could die of hypothermia.
OMGOODNESS...... My dream! ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️⛺️🛶🪵🔥🙏 This was truly an amazing video! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful off the grid home! That would be only a dream to come true!! Your dog is beautiful! I've really enjoyed this, thank you! God Bless and stay safe 🙏😇👍💕
Your Cabin house is so nice!!! The electrical, the lights and all, awesome 👍
Thank you. It is my favorite place on earth
Watching from Philippines
I’m a black girl in ga.and I wish I had a place like this in Alaska,it’s perfect it’s peaceful and I love it,one day I hope to have something just as nice and far away as this,thanks for the video,and I’ll be waiting for the next one....
Thanks for watching Valeria! I know many people like you that made their Alaskan dreams a reality. I know you can do it too. I will be posting weekly going forward. Thanks for being here. Stay in touch.
Whatever you do, stay away from Haines, Alaska. The worst place I've ever lived, by far...and I grew up in south Philly.....in fact, I'd stay away from all of southeast Alaska and start off in the Anchorage area. Especially around Palmer and Wasilla. Alaska is NOTHING like the lower 48. Also, it's full of EXTREMIST Republicans, just FYI. Not the friendliest place I've ever lived, that's for damn sure. Lastly, be prepared for NONE of your friends to come see you more than once because travel to Alaska from the lower 48, SUCKS HARD!!!! If all you're after is life off the grid like in this video, for the love 9f God start out in the Anchorage area first, spend a few years there and become accustomed to the different world that Alaska is, THEN decide if this is what you want. I lived MANY years of my life across all of Alaska and to be perfectly honest, aside from not having the northern lights, you're WAY better off building off grid in one of the mountain states like Montana or Washington. I spent years after my Marine Corps tour was up, in Washington and boy oh boy was that a great place. Great mountains, plenty of off grid opportunities and best of all, always still close enough to hop in the car and go to the ocean or whatever floats your boat and several big airport opportunities for your friends to use when wanting to visit. Just my two cents.... good luck and I hope you find what you're looking for. Also, just remember, if you think you need to move to find happiness, you're not going to find it. You must be happy first then find a place you love to settle in. 🙏🖖✌
@@Im2Old4ThisShite Well, this extremist Republican would move there just to drive you nuts.
It's funny how EVERYONE always turns the wrong knob on the stove at least once each time they're using multiple burners.
Haha, this comment.. you made me laugh out loud my friend. So true.
Almost daily…
And no stove clock in the world is ever set to the correct time. Not that you really need a clock up there anyway 😂👍
Hello guys! Arctic circle girl here 🤗 me and my husband have a similar routine as yours, right now we re in the polar nights in arctic Norway but is so cozy being inside with fire in the oven, good food and music , i honestly couldn't be any more happy. Love your channel!
Hello Amanda! So good to hear from you. Thanks for watching our channel. I agree with you. I find great peace in the solitude here. It is my favorite place on earth.
I think we are going to need you to get a KZhead channel up and running lol - it’s sounds so cosy 🥰
@@cheche2181 Some of my friends suggested me this but im such a shy girl especially with cameras 😁.Arctic Norway is a beautiful place and it's very much alike Alaska. Love this peace and tranquility.
This is my idea of living..The quietness and serenity of nature.. Away from crazy people and the everyday BS..Sign me up!
Love this cabin and it’s simplicity. I have been to Alaska and it is every bit of beautiful as he has shared with us all. Can’t wait for another video!!
Thanks for your comment Renee! I love how those of you who have been to Alaska recognize the feel and familiarity of the country. I posted my second video tonight.
Yeah that's true, Hi how are you Renee ?
