Arriving After A Snow Storm | Alaska Cabin Life

After being away for a couple days, my cabin got snowed in and the temperature plummeted. This is what it's like to arrive at the cabin at night after a major snow storm when its below zero degrees. Join me for a day in the life of Alaska cabin living with shoveling, cooking, and even a visit from a very special guest ‪@TruckHouseLife‬ *All the music was written and recorded specifically for this video by myself and Forest Wilson...I hope you enjoy! @Forest Wilson Guitarist

Hi from a new subscriber from the Black Forest area in Germany. I am very impressed how fast you shuffle snow - so please feel welcome here anytime in the winter to show me your shuffle experience life. 😉🌲

Thanks for actually talking and explaining what you are doing. Am not real fond of the videos like these where you are just watching someone, but he doesnt say anything. Thanks, again.

Pfffff snow? That's nothing!!! We got 7 feet of snow here in upstate New York a couple of weeks ago. Now that's SNOW!!!

[@alaskacabinadventures]

Just wait til the next episode comes out 👀 Thanks for watching!

[@astrobuck7023]

Pfffff snow? That’s nothing!!! We got 2 inches of snow here in Sugar Land Texas 6 years ago. Now that’s SNOW!!!

[@jtmoore662]

Im 49 and live in the lower 48 states, I love to hunt and fish. I have got it in my head to buy some land in Alaska and build a cabin there over the next few years until I am ready to retire. So watching these videos, its nice to see just casual everyday things like this.

[@alaskacabinadventures]

Nice! Glad you enjoyed it and Thanks for watching!

[@gunsandrotors8704]

You can try an extended run gas cap on that yamaha and connect to a 6 gallon boat gas tank. It works on hondas for sure. This way you dont run out of fuel over night.

[@alaskacabinadventures]

Good tip! I have one of those caps but I am afraid Id spend double on gas haha. Thanks for watching!

[@alaskacabinadventures]

Thank you!

[@victoriaEish]

I think you may find the propane wall mount heater that has ceramic tiles to be more efficient. Open blue flame uses a lot of propane and doesn’t heat as well as the tiles. That was my experience anyway..here in Northern Central Maine. Damn cold here in winter!!

[@alaskacabinadventures]

Good advice, Thanks!

[@jankraus8314]

Have you thought about laying a fire before you leave, just get it ready so all you have to do is strike a match when you return. We heated our home for years with just a wood stove, we would lay the fire before we left for the day and it was a quick light to get it going.

[@alaskacabinadventures]

Yes but it gets too cold if you let the fire die out when its -20. Thanks for watching!

[@Michael85338]

that's allot of shoveling! I would use a plow or snow blower!

[@alaskacabinadventures]

Amen!

[@jackierandall2230]

Thank you Jackie, it's paradise indeed!

[@donnawargacki6612]

My bucket list is to one day stay in a snow filled cabin. Looks like a great time, lots of work to maintain that property. Y'all stay warm and safe out there.🇨🇱🙏🤗🇨🇱

[@alanthibodeaux2888]

Keep doing your thing man. As a Florida boy, I find it fascinating.

[@badcompany3057]

Good stuff so far

[@alaskacabinadventures]

Thanks!

[@alanburke1893]

Handy tip for the stove...light it from the top... let the fire prgress downwards ..small logs on bottom, kindling on them, birch bark on top. Just light the bark and she'll burn down faster than a typical pyramid lit at bottom which is best for open ventilation fires 🔥👍

[@alaskacabinadventures]

Yeah, I’ve switched to that method most of the time now, just depends on my mood haha. Thanks!

[@rdpauley9824]

Just started following from Ohio.

[@dflenn9423]

I dont want to scare you but the flashover temp for gasoline per CFRegs is about 73 degrees F. I know it sounds crazy but so many people suffer injury refueling all types of gasoline engines while they are hot! Love the channel. Just beware and self-conscience of the dangers.

[@alaskacabinadventures]

Much appreciated! That is a valid comment and I do need to be more mindful of that. Thanks!

Well 2 months later your at 15k good job!

[@alaskacabinadventures]

I can't believe it...Thank you very much!

[@backwoodsmoto5167]

Love your videos! Keep up the good work! Maybe look into an auxiliary gas tank for the generator. I know they make an adapter for the Honda generators, I’m sure they make one for the Yamahas also. Just hooks up to a boat gas tank essentially and extends the tank size by a lot. Just a thought!

[@alaskacabinadventures]

Hey, thank you!! Funny enough I do have one of the auxiliary gas caps that essentially pulls gas in from a bigger tank. I have been tempted to use it, but afraid I would burn through twice as much gas since I often let the generator die for hours at a time, to enjoy the silence and darkness though, however, after this weekend I’m beginning to think I need to hook one up 😂. You here in Alaska?

[@ZephodBeeblebrox]

Before you leave your cabin, make that fire and have it ready to go. Put matches or something so somebody can light the fire with frozen hands. That could be you or it could be somebody else in an emergency situation.

[@alaskacabinadventures]

You are spot on! I usually do exactly that, except when it is -20° I don’t have the luxury of letting the fire die out before I leave. Otherwise, it would be much too cold. Thanks for watching! I appreciate the feedback!

[@ZephodBeeblebrox]

@@alaskacabinadventures Even in -20, you could still sweep the remains of the fire into a steel bucket, spray a little water into the grate to extinguish lingering sparks and then build the fire before you open the door to dump the fire remnants and let the cold in.
