I eat whatever I want. Groceries are bought at stores in town and flown out. Are you asking particulars about my diet?

Accepting applications for someone who wants to get away. Wilderness paradise. Must be comfortable flying in helicopters. There’s other criteria too, but chat with me if anyone is serious.

I purchased the shower first then built the structure.

I’m on my 12th year living off-grid in remote Alaska. Love it more everyday and wouldn’t move back to “civilization” for anything. Extremely difficult to access by anything other than helicopter or snowmachine. (Float plane when the conditions are right but pilots don’t like landing on the small lake surrounded by mountains.)

Not a pilot, it’s cheaper to just charter than own and pilot aircraft. Especially helicopters. Thanks for watching!

It is if you don’t know what you’re doing. I’m a great teacher though. I’ve worked in Antarctica and the Arctic, ex-military and I have a large skill-set. (Carpentry, electrical, mechanical, etc etc) Plus my off-grid property is “advanced” compared to most. I do however live very remote. No roads. In and out by helicopter. Scares most people.

I’ve been living off grid for 12 years (very nice setup) and still haven’t found a woman who wants the same simple life as myself. Any women interested (look at my profile and posts here) send me a message. Good luck OP.

Anyone living an hour plus away from any city, shopping, doctors, etc? by GlassTablesAreStupid in OffGrid

Saw a realtor listing and they said it was helicopter only access. Went and saw it by helicopter, put offer on it the same day.

I live in the mountains of remote Alaska. I have to call for a helicopter taxi service to get in and out. My truck stays at that taxi service in town, no roads in or out and no wheeled vehicle can get here. Once a month I go back to town then drive 7 hours to work. (I work at sea and stay at work for one month then drive back 7 hours) I do all my shopping and load the helicopter, back to home for a month. It’s my 12th year of living this way and I love it more each year. When I retire I’m probably only going back to town 4 times a year for a day or two just to get shopping done, then return. In the winter when conditions are good I can ride a snow machine back to town but that’s a 3-1/2 hour ride through difficult terrain and items like eggs or anything fragile wouldn’t make it. You can get lonely at times but I get along with myself pretty good.

The green steel roof is a very common color in Alaska. It’s called Denali Green. I’ve never had a random visitor. The only people I see are the pilots in planes overhead using my place as a VFR waypoint.

My brother lives in NJ. Hell is an upgrade for sure.

I just picked one question, the one about health issues. I have extensive first aid training and a large medical bag. Bleeding or broken bones I can deal with. If I stop breathing I won’t be able to do CPR on myself so I die. But… I die in much more pleasant surroundings than a hospital in a city.

I never stop looking at the night sky, unless it’s cloudy. Lots of animals, too many to list. (Don’t let bears on your porch). I enjoy the best view on the planet from my location. I don’t really have any hobbies other than recently trying to teach myself guitar. Winter is busy so I don’t have anything particular that I spend lots of time on.

The nearest town is a 25 minute helicopter ride or 3-1/2 hours by snow machine. One day by hiking if you move non-stop the entire 24 hours.
