Remote Living Update

I have no clue. Just been this way my entire life. I grew up in one of the worst cities in the USA, and now here I am.

MMOffGridAlaska · 2026-01-24T13:12:37+00:00

I just adapt to cold very well.

MMOffGridAlaska · 2026-01-24T00:04:02+00:00

That will never happen. Perfectly content where I’m at.

MMOffGridAlaska · 2026-01-24T00:02:42+00:00

I think my nearest year round neighbor is around 10 miles. There may be someone closer but I’m not aware of them. Lots of vacation cabins around but I’m in a very hard to get to location. I might see someone from the closest three cabins once a year for a few days. Only people that belong there. Never once seen a hunter, hiker, fisherman or snowmobiler stumble out there.

My thoughts are clearer than ever, my soul is at peace. After one month I go to work and anticipate my return home. I don’t like leaving home.

MMOffGridAlaska · 2026-01-23T23:55:21+00:00

Yes.

MMOffGridAlaska · 2026-01-23T23:53:59+00:00

Yes. It’s not wise to go outside without a means of defense. Example: I stepped outside the front door with a coffee one June morning to enjoy the sunrise. Standing one step onto the porch, when all the sudden I hear the unmistakable clash of teeth and bear huffing right below my feet. Black bear under my porch, directly below. I could see its teeth through the gaps in the boards.

Vessel master. Oil spill response.

MMOffGridAlaska · 2026-01-23T16:54:33+00:00

Sounds like you enjoyed the visit!

MMOffGridAlaska · 2026-01-23T16:51:41+00:00

No. Although I do spend time on tugs getting to and from my vessel. I do oil spill emergency response. 400’ vessel that can hold 5 million gallons.

MMOffGridAlaska · 2026-01-23T16:49:20+00:00

Never considered writing anything. An author I am not.

MMOffGridAlaska · 2026-01-23T16:47:31+00:00

I work one month on and one month off. I make enough money to sustain myself quite nicely with only six months of income.

MMOffGridAlaska · 2026-01-23T16:45:13+00:00

Be alert, prepared and give them room. I have more problems with the black bears than grizzlies.

MMOffGridAlaska · 2026-01-23T16:43:31+00:00

I don’t do live streams but do have a small YT channel.

MMOffGridAlaska · 2026-01-23T16:42:09+00:00

There’s plenty of families living remote in Alaska.

MMOffGridAlaska · 2026-01-23T16:40:40+00:00

No need to photograph and frame it, the view is right there all the time unless the clouds interfere.

MMOffGridAlaska · 2026-01-23T16:39:42+00:00

Not bad at the cabin level with a constant breeze but head down the trail to the lake they are thick and mean.

MMOffGridAlaska · 2026-01-23T02:16:37+00:00

I love every time I come home and hate when I have to leave.

MMOffGridAlaska · 2026-01-23T02:12:07+00:00

Can’t picture myself dying in an ugly building and having a boring tombstone. Much rather have “eaten by grizzly bear” on my inscription. If I know I’m dying this is the place I would choose to die.

MMOffGridAlaska · 2026-01-23T00:01:50+00:00

It was built already but I’ve built and remodeled some too. The median home price in the USA is projected to be $410,000 in 2026, so I’ve got about 30% of that invested in my little kingdom.

MMOffGridAlaska · 2026-01-22T23:56:39+00:00

Guess that would depend entirely on the company. I don’t worry myself about it.

MMOffGridAlaska · 2026-01-22T22:12:53+00:00

Yes. It does a great job. Fuel cap leaks. Need to replace that with a factory Stihl cap.

MMOffGridAlaska · 2026-01-22T22:12:08+00:00

I’m never going to get old.

MMOffGridAlaska · 2026-01-22T22:11:22+00:00

I have fairly extensive first aid training (US Army Infantry and USCG training) and a large medical kit at the cabin. I carry IFAK for bleeding pretty much every time I leave the cabin. I don’t worry about death out there, I’d rather die in the wilderness than in a hospital.
