A Night Alone In The Alaska Range

This winter camp is in the Alaska Mountain Range in early January of 2021. It was my first attempt at videoing a solo winter trip. I snowmobiled high up in the mountains, about 6 miles from my cabin. The wind blew the entire time, but the temperature was almost balmy, and stayed around 20 degrees (-7ºC) all night long. It was an absolutely beautiful evening and one I will remember for the rest of my life. It is always a lot of work to get out into the mountains and set up a camp, but it is always worth it. I don't want to miss nights like these.
For those of you who wonder, the sleeping bag I rolled out was only my base layer. I have a much better bag that keeps me comfortable down to -40º F. I don't depend on the fire to keep me warm at night. I always allow it to go out when I'm sleeping (unless I'm in my Arctic Oven tent), and just trust my arctic bag to keep me comfortable. Having the right sleeping bag and other gear, is key to enjoying a these beautiful winter nights in the mountains.
It is my hope that this video will bring some cool refreshment to those of you in warmer climates.
Peace to you from Alaska

Good stuff. When I was in Special Forces we did a lot of training in the snow. One time in Norway my team dug two 6-man snow caves and we lived in those for a couple days. It actually got quite warm inside those snow caves and it was good to be out of the blizzard too. We traveled everywhere on skis and pulled a sled or a pulk with our heavy gear. This video reminded me of that time in my army career some 30 years ago. Thanks for sharing.

[@ThisIsMyAlaska]

So great to hear from you Mike. You guys were the real deal. I would have loved to be part of your team and experienced some of that. One of my favorite individuals is Colonel Norman Vaughn. He traveled with Admiral Richard Byrd in the South Pole expedition of 1928-1930, and wrote the book "With Byrd At The Bottom Of The World". I met and talked with him before he passed away a few years ago at the age of 100. He autographed his book for me too. You might enjoy that read. Peace.

Good morning Gerald. Thank you for being here. I want to wish both you and your wife a wonderful week. It is such an honor to me to read your words and know that you are enjoying the content I am creating. I am in Kodiak Island this week. Kodiak is very important to many Alaskans because it is the home of St. Herman, who lived here from 1808 to 1818. Every year at this time hundreds travel, from all over the world, to visit his hermitage, which is very beautiful and unchanged in over 200 years. The town of Kodiak is a fishing community and the harbor is full of fisherman working on their boats and equipment, coming and going through the narrows to the sea. I have been walking down there and visiting with them in the evenings. I will share some of this trip with you in a couple of weeks. I hope you enjoy this unique part of Alaska as much as I have.

@@ThisIsMyAlaska Hello my Alaskan friend, thanks for your answer. I love reading books about Alaskan history, I read several. Coal Creek sounds familiar to me, I have to check at home, if I already have a book, where this is part of, I bet I have. That would be cool, if you could make a video about it! I was gold prospecting on hobby level several times in the Fortymile mining district in Chicken. If you are interested, you find videos on my channel. Some friends, I met in Chicken, also were prospecting in the Brooks Range, but I never was yet. I would love just to see the Brooks Range one day. And I'm gold prospecting in Switzerland for more than 15 years now, we also have nice gold. Hope to be able to make it to Alaska again next year. Have a great day, and take care, my friend!

Good evening, if you were in the 40-mile area you very likely have heard of the Coal Creek drainage. It is on the Yukon below Eagle, in the Yukon-Charlie Preserve. I will take a look at your channel

@@ThisIsMyAlaska I feel honored! Thank you!

[@Longyearbye]

What a lucky person! I think, i would like this adventure too... because only to hear the wind... nothing more. Best greetings from germany

[@ThisIsMyAlaska]

Good evening my friend. I understand and agree completely. Spending the night in a windstorm is one of the most peaceful feelings I know. The stormier the better. Greetings to you from Alaska.

Can’t imagine what would I feel if I’m alone in this beautiful but silent white field. The snow ceiling won’t fall on you while you’re sleeping because of the heat?

[@mishos.2228]

Even without the heat. So dangerous. It could collapse very easily

Ça c'est la réussite de la vie.

Sensacional o silêncio! Só o vento e a paz. Maravilhoso. Abraço

[@ThisIsMyAlaska]

Thank you my friend. Peace

So nice to get to live vicariously through your videos, yeah I could do that...

[@ThisIsMyAlaska]

Good afternoon Roderick. I am glad you enjoyed the video my friend. I am looking forward to winter. I will be sharing more of these with you for sure. Thanks again for watching. Peace.

living in the Cariibean for the past 25 plus years i completely forgot how it felt to camp out in the snow. Hands cold, feet sore and hungry like a wolf but enjoying every second of it , and waking up to that crisp morning feeling knowing you survived. Great video i felt like i was there !!

[@ThisIsMyAlaska]

Thank you my friend.

Provecho Mr Alaska, siempre me quedo sorprendida!!!. Un rato de soledad no hace daño

[@ThisIsMyAlaska]

Good afternoon Guadalupe my friend. Yes, I love solitude. It is difficult to find these days but something (I feel) we all need. Thanks for watching. Peace to you.

Yes wish I can still do this, back in the 80's when the snow was snow we did all kinds of stuff. Now we barely get any snow. Love this cause it's warm, cozy and I can relate.

[@gaittr]

I'm taking a wild guess you're from Colorado where I am. Used to snow like crazy here and now we might get a half an inch every 20 years

[@newhampshirelifestyle4233]

We get plenty of snow everywhere. Did you see the record snowfalls just last month in Michigan, South Dakota, California and Alaska?

[@bozboz4414]

So that's camping in Alaska? Fascinating...also the only thing better than a man of few words is a man of NO words...so refreshing & better than usual posts that love the sound of their own voice...well done

[@ThisIsMyAlaska]

Thank you my friend. I appreciate it. I look forward to hearing more from you. Peace.
