Daily Life at our Cabin in Remote Alaska

[@Bmore4985]

Caught myself grinning the whole time you caught that first fish. Brought back good memories of my husband and I fishing years past. Miss fresh caught fish for sure. Those fillets looked fine to me!! 😊

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Thank you! This open-hook lure worked a lot better than the wrap-around weedless one I'd been using up to this point. There is no shortage of fresh Pike in this lake, although I learned later from a neighbor the poor salmon run this year forced guides to take clients farther up the chain of lakes to fish for pike. We think this took a large toll on the pike population🫤 Anyways, I hope you and your husband find an opportunity to go fishing again soon! Best wishes and thank you for watching!

@@OhashiOutdoorsIn an “average year” do salmon come up into your lake? If not what other species can you fish for as well as pike?

[@OhashiOutdoors]

@@ATH_Berkshire I've only had this property for about 2 years and have seen salmon migrate up to this lake during spawning season both times. I've only ever caught Pike in the lake though. Thank you for watching!

[@daveoverholt8540]

Another great video and thank you for taking us all along. Great idea of putting that bag of gravel in another bag and I think you are gaining on that corner. Thank you again and keep up the great work!

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Thank you for following along! Let's hope the gravel bag works. Eventually I'd like to get the cabin moved farther up hill and on a more solid, permanent foundation. Best wishes!

[@CarolAnne-h7v]

The scenery is awesome, like trees, especially when they change colour. My mom was an artist,I’m sure she’d appreciate some of your scenery you show, it’s really beautiful!

[@OhashiOutdoors]

It is truly beautiful out there! An artists dream, for sure. Thank you for sharing and watching!

[@maryricketts8526]

Beautiful weather. Hopefully the repairs on the cabin will do fine. .great you're putting new life back into the cabin. Yes, I remember Esgle Hardware😊

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Much appreciated, thank you for watching! More permanent repairs will definitely need to be done in the future. It's always rewarding putting new life back into old, often neglected things😄

Yaaaaaghhh! Someone who knows about Chaga!!

[@rickfromvirginia]

Good editing on your videos! I like the way you showcase each project. Did you do a tour of your cabin yet? I think one of your upgrades might be some sort of solar hookup. Depending on the size it would help for lighting in the outhouse, kitchen, etc. If I am right you access the property by float plane, which can limit what you bring up. Anyway, good series of videos because it showcases what it takes to really be off grid! Thanks again for sharing! Rick From Virginia

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Thank you! Every video is edited mostly in the order the footage was filmed. What you see is almost exactly the order I'm doing projects in. Solar would be great to have up there! For the interim, I plan to bring a portable batter bank out there and charge it with the generator. This will prevent me from having to run the generator to only charge 2x camera batteries and a cell phone. As the project progresses, a solar hookup is definitely in the cards though! Thank you for watching, Rick! Cheers

[@kristingrounds4163]

Nice fish! I was hoping you were going to cook it up LOL well wait for maybe the next video

[@OhashiOutdoors]

You'll see some outdoor fish cooking in the next video or two. After all this editing, every scene runs together 😂 There is more fish catching coming up, too! It's always nice cooking fresh fish. Thank you for watching and following along on this Alaska journey!

[@carolyncarr136]

Yousure are a hard worker. Ihave enjoyed watching all your videos

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Thank you so much! Work isn't very hard when it's doing something you love. I can't wait to do this stuff full-time. Thank you for watching!

[@DustyBottomBoysAK]

Nice catch! Congrats! Now we have to wait to see what you did with it 😆 -Dusty

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Thank you, Dusty! Perhaps some pike cooking will make it's way into a future episode! 😝 Thank you for watching!

[@massholeTurk]

Beautiful country,keep up the good work. Camp looks great.

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Much appreciated, thank you for watching!

[@billgoeckel6344]

Another great video. Love when you caught the fish and said time to celebrate with a beer. cheers. Or as we say in German before you drink Prost

[@OhashiOutdoors]

I'm glad you appreciated that! I've got some german blood in me, so "Prost" resonates well with my philosophy😁That ended up being the biggest pike I caught this trip, but you'll see a few more boaters in future episodes. Thank you for watching!

[@billgoeckel6344]

@@OhashiOutdoors Hello my friend, I had no idea that you have German blood in you. Awesome I am half German and half Romanian.Have a great week my friend

[@Trampslikeusjb]

Like the tape trim caulking trick!

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Thank you! I'm not skilled enough to caulk without making a mess, so the tape trick was a huge help🤣

[@jaimegarcia1247]

Hola, estar a tu lado debe ser, un mar de tranquilidad❤❤ Eres un crack👌 Saludos🇪🇦

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Muchas gracias por ver!

[@JoHarmon-hg7wz]

Sure is beautiful there with the view! Hope you can come up with a fix for that corner, hope the bag helps, that seems like a great idea. You may have to use 2.

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Right? two bags probably would have been a better idea. You'll see my "finished" product in the next episode or two. It may not be a permanent solution, but it's better than nothing for the time being. Thank you for watching!

[@capthappy345]

Nice catch son!

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@ericmonahan6580]

Just be careful rolling around in mud and dirt with an open bottom holster. Great videos. I really like your cabin and the lake location.

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Good thinking. I do a quick cleaning and inspection at the end of each day, but that doesn't help when you're rolling around in the mud at mid-day. Thank you for the recommendation and watching!

[@brandonholliday7927]

You should try red and white daredevil spoons for pike. They are deadly!

[@OhashiOutdoors]

I added that to the list for next trip. I was thinking of expanding my fishing attempts to more than just different mouse variants... The weeds were not too bad in the lake in September like they were in June/July, so perhaps next trip I'll try spoons! Thank you for watching!

[@donaldperson948]

Catch fish with the frog!

[@OhashiOutdoors]

I've tried a lot of lures, but have found the mouse to work best! I'll keep trying frogs, mepps, jaw jackers, and other lures as well. Thank you for watching!

[@donaldperson948]

Nice lake! I would put in a Chinese well pump in it ground?

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Thank you! I would do a well pump of some sort if I lived out there full-time. Being a part-time cabin, I enjoy the ruggedness of hauling water in buckets. Thank you for watching!

[@virgilchristopherson3626]

Fantastic video, it was just like I was there with you. How many acres of woods do you have? the area looks great for hunting. You got nice weather , don't look too cold for Nov. That Northern pike looks like he was a great fighter !, I got you subscribed. Gotta see more of your videos. Have a great day !

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Thank you! We've got about 6 acres of woods out here. It's pretty rich in wildlife, although thick and hard to find shooting lanes for a clear shot. These videos were filmed in early September and I'm still piecing together the videos from all the footage taken. There is definitely snow out there by now. Thank you for subscribing and watching, cheers!

[@virgilchristopherson3626]

you are welcome ! I'll check on some of your older videos, keep up the good work, Soon you'll be ice fishing.@@OhashiOutdoors

[@OhashiOutdoors]

I'll definitely be ice fishing if I'm able to make it out there this winter! We don't have any planned trips, but the future is indeed uncertain.

[@virgilchristopherson3626]

We do a lot of Ice fishing here in northern Wisconsin, I don't do as much as I yousto, old age sets in, I'm 75. get cold faster. Have a great day !@@OhashiOutdoors

[@williamhicken1206]

Any chance of moving your cabin up to higher ground? Great videos; have watched them all.

[@OhashiOutdoors]

That would be our best option I think, but I don't think we can get it done anytime soon given our life/work situation at present. Thank you for watching and supporting the channel! Best wishes

[@donaldperson948]

What do you do for work? And how you get to work?

[@TJP-on7hm]

Nice catch! I was wondering do you live in Alaska or Japan, and what is your normal job? You have done a lot of good for that cabin and property for the time you get to spend there! Thank You for a wonderful awesome channel!❤

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Thank you for watching! I'm currently living in Japan full-time with my family, but if someone asks where I'm from, my answer is, "Alaska." I'm part of a security team out here for the next few years.

[@scottsku]

How much acreage do you own at the cabin? And do you plan to turn the yard into a mown yard or let it stay a bit wild?

[@OhashiOutdoors]

About 6 acres. Currently, I plan to keep it wild and continue cutting back the brush and undergrowth around the cabin. Once we have better and more regular access out there, we may choose to try and grow a better lawn or something of the sort. Thank you for watching!

[@helengascho401]

Shrews came into my cabin , they don’t need much space .

[@OhashiOutdoors]

That's unfortunate! Were you able to get rid of them? We're doing my best to keep those out of our little cabin. Thank you for watching!

[@CarolAnne-h7v]

Why don’t you wear a life “jacket”? What’s the measurement of catch and release?

[@OhashiOutdoors]

I have a floatation device. It's not the same as a life jacket, but it counts. There is no measurement for Pike catch and release in this region. Thank you for watching!

[@CarolAnne-h7v]

Can’t see what you’re doing above your door?

[@OhashiOutdoors]

I'm installing a piece of steel flashing over where a small critter of some type was trying to claw into the cabin. Thank you for watching!
