I have found so many situations like this on our Hardin, what is it with previous owners twisting and taping little fire starting fuses all over the place. Our VHF was wired with one of those! I found it because we weren't able to transmit on high and got a low battery warning.

You’re not crazy. I have four sets of relatives that have done exactly that around Juneau. Island land, dock or mooring, build the house and move in. It’s super hard in some cases, freight and materials are expensive, and the winters can be dreary and wet, especially there. BUT living here is a singularly amazing lifestyle. I was born here, have lived 1/4 of my life Outside, and constantly yearned to move home. Don’t skimp on the dock; current, tide, rot, wind and waves are super hard on them. Some people pull them out every winter if that’s the design. My wife and her ex are closest to what you’re doing. Crazy steep remote lot, lived on a boat/dock cabin with a kid. Gorgeous log home self built from native hemlock, lots of stairs. It can be done, with an insane amount of patience and labor. Currently living on our trawler in Auke Bay, hope to see you guys in future summers! New subscriber, will follow and be rooting for you!

Right on, yeah everyone we talk to up here this is completely normal. Enjoying being with like minded folks. Yeah feels like a more aggressive version of washington and we never stopped boating/camping when winter so figured we will adapt (If your a liveaboard you understand adapting) but yeah it'll be a ton of work but we'll keep at it as season permit. Glad to have a local following along and yeah if your ever in the area or see you on the boat come say hi were very social!

Hey guys! Liveaboard from puget sound area here. Currently have my boat parked in liberty bay near a friend, and am down in crescent city CA helping someone sail their 27’ Erickson down the coast from Port Angeles :) I am constantly eyeing every seaside port I visit as a new potential home! What you guys did is just about the only way I’ve ever been able to consider owning a piece of dry land.. being raised in Edmonds and watching property 4X/5X in the 25 years I’ve been alive scared me away from signing any lease agreements, credit card apps, student loans, etc etc I would love to chat with y’all (will likely cross paths!) more about how to sustain living off - the - beaten - path. Especially in the little part of the world we’re in here. Cheers! And fair winds/f.s! -Riley Sperbeck

I felt disappointed seeing the title, but after watching the video your concept is fascinating to me. An integration of primitive homesteading and cruising that I haven't seen before. Most cruisers sell their boat first thing when they step out of the water? That forest you're in looks soo old growth that there must be gnomes living there. The kids obviously love exploring it. Having the kids makes your project more meaningful. Love the duel aims of 1) _independence_ via no debt, few bills, and off-grid power, and 2) _freedom_ via the deep waterway and dock in the yard, sheltering your liveaboard craft. Also, how convenient to be just around the corner from a nice town like Ketchikan? Seems to me that, though there's much work to do to make it happen, you're on to a great plan. Amen about never cutting down that grand old tree! I do understand about the plans always being subject to change. Totally interested to see how this goes.
@sailinguntilvalhalla 4 ай бұрын
Responses like this keep us hopeful that our followers will stick around! Yeah we are doing this to avoid burnout (like many cruisers) and have best of both worlds. Yes most of the property is beautiful cedar some very old and some will be used to build but we won't be "leveling" this beautiful lot by any means. Also with grade will be alot of walkways and stairs like a park like feel. We just felt like this place was home not something I can really define but when you know, you know. But yeah lots to come I'm going to be building into winter and work until I physically can't so should be interesting to watch we hope. Thanks again for following along

I just found your video. Good initial effort. I hope you have since enhanced your system for better safety and better efficiency. Mine is similar but, ... my climbing line goes through a Grigri so I can remove the ascender and belay myself down when needed without rerigging anything; I tie alpine butterfly loops in a backup halyard about every 8-10', which are put into a large locking biner on a life-rated hip loop on my harness (I see your harness seems to have these), then I undo them sequentially as I come down; finally, (from arborist techniques) I have an adjustable flipline/lanyard around my mast (attached via my hip loops) that does two things: 2nd safety backup - will only let me fall to the next spreader down (I have 2), and allows me to control how close I want to be to the mast ... usually very close at the top ... has an eye at one end and its tail goes through a prussic and then a small 'prussic-tending' pulley for easy shortening or loosening. Good luck.

Foot loop should go to top ascender You tie jamar with figure eight I highly recommend to buy Petzl GriGri or Grilon instead of lower rope grab device you use, or any device which are ascender and descender at the same time, it is very convenient, trust me 😊 Utilizing a second backup rope is a good thing too a specially if you are not experienced much

@cjacosta1 5 ай бұрын
DANGER!!!! THIS IS WRONG!! You need to make some changes for your safety. Your ascender is the only thing holding you up. You need to use a locking caribeaner on your ascender going to your harness. You can hook your harness to the top hole of the ascender (see below) It looked like you had a locker for your foot loop, which doesn't need one as its not life support. Won't hurt to have a locking one there. You ABSOLUTELY need a caribeaner in the top hole of the asceneder once it's on the line. That is what keeps it locked on the line as you ascend. you could very easily flip the ascender off the line while ascending and even more likely while descending without this. If you choose to keep using the bottom hole of the ascender, you MUST add a caribeaner in the top hole.
