Braving Alaskas EXTREME COLD | Ice Fishing and Snowmobiling at the Cabin

It's -10°F and we're goin' fishin! We take our snow machines (snowmobiles) to a secret, unnamed lake near our off-grid cabin in search of Alaskan rainbow trout. It's a day full of beauty, nature and adventure but things go wrong when the snow machine breaks down and leaves us stranded miles from the cabin.

I read the book Hatchet as well. Just bought it for my 11 year old son. Keep the videos coming brother!

Out there without a comealong / winch?! Thanks for another adventure.

[@snowking55]

It's great exploring and finding new lakes that aren't know by the public, they usually produce decent fish. The 'ol Skidoo sounded like it was freezing up, some water in the fuel, that's the reason it would only idle. Scary situation in subzero temps without help, great that you were together.

[@alaskacabinadventures]

Yup! Always fun, turns out he just needed new spark plugs, but now the clutch is done too, not sure but they must be related.

Get a power auger. Or at least a drill auger adapter. You do NOT want rotator cuff issues and augers are notorious for that. You are young cause u will heal but im old and its amazing how debilitating a shoulder problem can be. Also, wear your helmet!

Bro you are doing my dream, can I ask you a few questions? 1st off how much would someone need to build a cabin say like yours ,and price for land,and taxes, thanks if you don't mind, I want to get out of Ohio so bad and I always wanted to do what you are doing ,so awesome brother

[@alaskacabinadventures]

Great questions, all of which I am making a detailed video on soon. But it was about 15k for 2.5 acres, 10k for building the cabin and taxes are about 500 per year. More on that later!

How long did it take you to get over to the lake? Also do you have a link or something to check out your music? O and last thing I wonder if you might like the show Alone. It’s about people surviving in the wilderness, building shelter, and hunting. Anyway they just try to stay as long as they can.

[@alaskacabinadventures]

Thanks Gus! No link, music is for the videos only…for now. Lake was only about 30 minutes from the cabin!

Diagnosis of snow machine failure?

[@alaskacabinadventures]

Fouled plug, but I think the coil is going bad.

[@gmw1964z]

Curious what was the problem with the snow machine ?

[@alaskacabinadventures]

Still haven't totally fixed it. Swapped plugs and it ran again for awhile, then died. Guessing a bad coil or stator.

[@gmw1964z]

Stator is for alternator so doubt that. If it’s 2 cylinder check the diode in the coil shut (ground) off wire

[@wildguidesteve]

@@gmw1964z we never did find the exact problem. I believe it was a loose connection somewhere, but she is up and running again.

For safety they have to wear a helmet

[@davidthatcher7754]

I will never understand why anyone uses a snowmobile without wearing a helmet. Your born with one head, protect it.

[@kevinferger9897]

I was about to say the same thing. It's -10 and going thru the woods with no helmet. Total stupidity

[@dpl2617]

Relax fellas, to each his own! Adults can make their own judgments and decisions based on the circumstances.

[@kevinferger9897]

I live in the area of Buffalo NY. I have never seen someone not wearing a helmet snowmobiling probably because it's the law. I just can't fathom not wearing one especially with the cold but mostly because of the terrain(going thru woods with branches slapping in your face) and these machines nowadays can go over 70mph. Trying not to be the helmet police but comman sense is gone in this society

[@blueman5924]

It’s Alaska, land of the wild and free.
