0147 Purchase of the off grid cabin in the Alaskan Wilderness near Willow Alaska

[@LauraElliston-o6j]

Do you ever watch this video and are amazed at the changes over time? I find it very fascinating at all the changes. And often wonder what will be next!

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

A lot has changed for sure. We will be building some sheds and a well house this summer

[@avail1.]

from the wilds of Chicago suburbs🦍 my plans back in 78, had to change, and i never made it, to Alaska. But, i do so appreciate you neighbors who did. May everyday be enjoyable, as you add to your life over there, in that foreign country called Alaska ! Nice home you have, and your stove w/fan keepin you warm 80°inside👋 😁 Good luck folks !!

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

Thank you very much

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

I remember watching this video when you first posted it. I was flying to Alaska to view a few properties. The amount of work you have accomplished is mind blowing. I watched when you had the skid steer zooming around clearing land and now you have two incredible cabins and some pretty nice outhouses! Going to watch your wood shed videos now!!

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

Thank you very much. Did you find property in Alaska? We have done a lot of work, very rewarding work though. We still have plenty to do but we sure enjoy it. Thank you for watching.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

I just subscribed to your channel

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Yes I did. Looked at three properties and could only get to two of them. I found one in the Copper River Basin and I absolutely love it! It has a cabin but it needs some work and I need to figure out a wood shed now too. Got here just in time to make some runs to Anchorage and stock up for winter. So spring will be a crazy time for me! I enjoy watching your channel so keep up the good work! 😁

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

I subscribed to your channel months ago when I created this channel. But I still have my subscription with you on my old account too!

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

@@AloneinRemoteAlaska are you closer to anchorage or Fairbanks?

[@mmanut]

So much you can do with that property. GOOD LUCK GUYS ‼️ Vinny 🇺🇸

They need a little touch up but definitely workable. Nice!!!

[@RaisedinAlaska]

Nice cabin, let the adventures abound.

Thank you

[@ouroffgridalaskanlife3998]

Looks solid.

[@donfleming7062]

Nice find

[@coffeehouseforge5632]

Welcome neighbor. We moved up from Florida 3 yrs ago and started our off-grid homestead just outside of Willow. We have 11 acres and 2 stockade style cabins on the casewll. Almost got burnt out our first year (the McKinley fire). Take care

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

Hopefully no more fires. We are off sockeye a little way

[@coffeehouseforge5632]

Yup, that area burnt about 5 yrs back. So we should be good for a bit 👍. Feel free to jump over to my Facebook page at: Coffee Alaskan Homestead, or my KZbin page at : Coffeehouseforge. I have a small blacksmith shop along with a sawmill for furture upgrades and cabin builds. We should fet together one day and compare notes on homestead live, swap ideas, ect.

[@onmountaintime5637]

What an exciting time!

[@tanyajenkins919]

I like your nice cabin in the woods. .Best wishes

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

Thank you

[@jennifergraham612]

That place need some love.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

Its getting that as well as lots of work. :-)

[@kerrydavidsadler980]

Looks so different without all the snow.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

Yes, LOL, traded snow for mud

[@driverguy7]

Cool cabin, have you seen a channel called "Simple Living Alaska", it's fun to watch....

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

I love watching them

[@MK-ti2oo]

Omg they're great.

[@Lapizzafattaincasa]

Eric and Arielle live near Willow. 🤠

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

Yes they do. They are about 20 miles from us. Watch them all the time

[@Lapizzafattaincasa]

@@MitchellsInAlaska it would be great a video with you, Mitchells, and them!

[@solitudeinthewild82]

Awesome video, my friend! Great offgrid living skills! Enjoyed watching, the surrounding nature is amazing. Cheers from Russia, Mitchells, and welcome to my channel about special bushcraft tips and hacks! Kind regards, Yuriy! Good luck!

I will check it out. Thank you for subscribing

Nice property we see the potential

[@dixielandhomestead5874]

It doesn't seem like it has already been 2 years ago. Y'all have done a lot with the home place.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

Actually November made three years

[@gilbertolson6356]

oh and a nice rig for hauling wood lol

[@magnapearl9506]

Wow you're lucky to have such a beautiful cabin!

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

Thank you

[@cindydambacher8397]

Love it

[@ccloud7490]

Nice set up, excellent trapping cabin, fur shed in the back,, did it come with some Land also ??

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

10 acres of land. Thank you for watching

[@sarahgupton2552]

Looks pretty good. Maybe a bush hog and a little cleaning up. Acreage? Cost? Lots of good things.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

We have since done a lot of cleanup around the place. It is a 10 acre property

[@thalleshoward3962]

Nice cabin!! It just needs some minor repairs. You could do a lot of stuff with the building out back.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

The gys are very creative and handy and have come up with all sorts of improvements.

[@zeenaabdura5686]

Very nice cabin. IMO

[@harvdog5669]

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

You got that right!

[@ontoitaussie7390]

Your living my dream ❤️

[@jshafer51]

Nice place. How far is the nearest maintained road and town?

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

We are only 11.2 miles off of a major highway on a small dirt road. Nearest town is 10 miles just a station and post office really. It’s about 40 miles to a town with stores

[@ponjotes33]

What are the dimensions of the cabin? Looks perfect!

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

It is 20x20

[@judya.shroads8245]

Will you live here? Could be made into a nice cozy place. CONGRATULATIONS

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

Yes, they are living there. Perry and Carolyn, Tyler and Ginny, and Tony.

Dandy cabin.

I been in Alaska 45+ do me a favor take your toilet lid off and store it inside you'll find it much more comfortable in the winter thank you for your kindness. T

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

We have foam on it instead of a lid. The foam warms instantly when you set on it

[@RaisedinAlaska]

The 10x12 out building has no heat source, what’s the plan for this building?

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

It has a propane heater for now

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

We will use it as a guest cabin for when family or friends visit

[@RaisedinAlaska]

@@MitchellsInAlaska Great idea, I suspect that takes up a lot less space than wood stove.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

@@RaisedinAlaska that’s true. We had a wood stove in it for a while but it took too much room and a guest wouldn’t want to mess with that anyway

[@BakerBaker1-9]

I so need to be there ....

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

It’s beautiful here

[@sandym4317]

How did you find this off great d cabin? Any land come with it? Are you able to garden too? Pretty sweet place with lots of potential. Congratulations on the purchase!

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

They did a lot of internet searching and then Tony and Tyler flew from Missouri to Alaska to hunt for places.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

It has 10 acres

[@mauricebrown9094]

What size is this property.?

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

I think this plot has ten acres but will have to ask Tony or Perry for sure.

[@ruthnagarya2028]

so jealous even at 10x12.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

This cabin is about 20’x20’ the little one is 10’x12’

[@DSGLABEL]

How much $?

[@nunyabusines1528]

What's your water source? I'm shopping and wondering if having lake or river access is necessary. I do not want to be dependent on hauling water

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

Currently hauling water. Hopefully get a well next summer

[@gilbertolson6356]

10x12 and no heat perfect man cave

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

We did put a wood stove in it a little later

I will watch for the hairy man

[@fredinalaska]

@@MitchellsInAlaska I know its strange to hear something like that. However I was being sincere, I'm a lifelong Alaskan native. I've lived all over the state and worked remote several times. Seeing one of these things is a serious shock to your system. You won't have to guess if one comes around. There's a dentist from Fairbanks Alaska he has a metal detecting channel on KZbin. He has an 8 minute video on Bigfoot I suggest you check it out. This video will show you what they do when near. They scream at you and throw stuff, creepy when it happens. Just be warned buddy

[@yadayada752]

This should have been your very first video. Showing what you purchased & then going into all the planning & moving. Some of your videos aren't even in order of how they happened. This makes it hard to follow.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

It didn’t happen in order. We bought property at trapper creek first then ran across this. But you are right

[@gaylecoffey3313]

What are the dimensions of the cabin?

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

About 20x20

[@careyclark2778]

How much

[@tinagriffith500]

Can't be totally off the grid,the stove and refrigerator have electricity.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

They did put in some solar panels to be able to have minimal electricity.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

Actually it is off grid. Propane stove and propane refrigerator

[@johnjaco5544]

Got your work cut out

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

They work on something different, every day.

[@jamesgoodman6243]

The bed is way to close to the stove.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

That was just for a night or two

[@RiannaCortez]

many trees have died to have that cabin 😒😞, it is better with planks, they save felled trees
