Finally! A Trip Back to Our Remote Dry Cabin in Alaska

[@jeffroberts1834]

Pleasant surprise this morning to find your video. I know you enjoyed your time at the cabin, making great memories with your dad.

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Thank you! It was truly enjoyable. Doing all the editing from our apartment near Tokyo is like reliving the trip a second time, too. Thank you for watching, and best wishes!

[@garywright5556]

I love it. The golf Wacker is a slingblade. I'm 62 and you can get pretty efficient with a slingblade 😅. Watching from Florida.

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Good to know, thank you! You've got to be in good shape to swing a slingblade around for more than a few minutes. Keep it up, and thank you for watching!

[@LMStevens]

I’m always awed by Alaska and its people. You couldn’t pay me enough to go and live there but I’m amazed by the people’s determination.

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Most Alaskans are an interesting, resourceful, and fun bunch of people! The location, climate, and relative isolation definitely are not for everybody though. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@SusanBooker-g9j]

Gorgeous scenery.

[@OhashiOutdoors]

It's a beautiful area of Alaska! Thank you much, and thank you for watching😊

[@dcranch4820]

Very cool you get to spend quality time with your dad. You will cherish these memories forever!!!

[@OhashiOutdoors]

That was the main reasoning behind inviting him on this trip! Life is too short, and time is precious. Thank you for spending some of yours watching and commenting on our videos 😊

New subscriber former Pennsylvanian former hunter and golfer,now an old man who gets outdoors only thru people like you. So thank you for sharing. A word of advice, your strength ,vitality and equilibrium doesn’t last forever as you reach 90 things begin to wear out. Keep active,eat healthy and most of all enjoy your loved ones. I am 92 now so I can claim to be an expert on most things.

[@OhashiOutdoors]

You're very welcome! And thank you for watching and subscribing, @Nello353 ! I appreciate the advice and will do my best to follow it 🙇🏻 I'd love to hear any other advice you have. Advice and sharing life experiences between generations is one of the most valuable human interactions. Stay healthy, my friend! Best wishes

Good to see back at cabin

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Thank you! It's always good to get back up there.

[@coolhand6669]

I like the path you made to the cabin that looks really good boy the Bears have been really knowing at your cabin

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Thank you! I'll have to make a bear board or something to keep them from tearing the place apart. We appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@rickfromvirginia]

It was great to see you back! At least you had some help ! I was amazed at how the grass and brush had taken over! At least no bear had broken into the cabin! Fishing looked great! Can't wait to see your next video. As always, thanks for sharing! You should get to 1,000 subscribers real fast! Rick from Virginia

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Thank you for watching, @rickfromvirginia ! It's incredible how tall and fast all the brush grows in. More videos coming soon! Finding time to edit is hard between work and family, but we'll make it happen. Best wishes to you!

[@themovies2000]

Nice Dad 👏🏻 Fresh fish for dinner…yum!

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Nothing beats it! I still need to hone my pike cleaning skills, but the fillets are getting bigger and cleaner every time. Thank you for watching!

[@JHank346]

The production quality is noticeably improved! I especially like the addition of the handsome, debonaire Hollywood actor sidekick to enhance the story. Now, all you need is a riding lawnmower, a Honda 90, and a good for nothing, lazy Shelty dog to keep the grizzly bears away...

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Thank you, @JHank346 ! It was good having him up there. He can do some pretty incredible things with some wood and a few tools. I'm looking for the Honda 90 over here in Honda's Mecca! Don't be surprised if we return to the states with one 🤣

[@photographerontheway]

Wow great .I was waiting to go back to Alaska , there will be a lot of work now , best regards.👍

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Thank you for watching! The "To-Do List" up there is endless, but it's work I enjoy doing. Cheers!

[@thisisitmjh]

You already put up Bear shutters. Try placing Bear Boards around the direct perimeter of the cabin. Simple 2x6-8" boards with nails sticking up that can be spiked into the ground for easy removal when you are there. You can build a rack to store them when you are there also.

[@OhashiOutdoors]

That’s a good idea! I still want to rebuild the shudders, and I plan on placing bear boards around the future deck we plan to build. Thank you for watching!

[@michaelmartineau1373]

Awesome to see you back at the cabin hope you and Dad have a good trip. Looks like porkys eating the place up real good. Fresh fish should be real tastey.

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Thank you @michaelmartineau1373 ! They really are, I'm thinking about how to go about protecting the cabin while keeping a rustic look. Thank you for tuning back in😊

[@maryricketts8526]

WELCOME BACK....bet it feels so good. Once Alaska grabs you there's no looking back. Love the sound of a Beaver on floats. Looks like plenty of projects for this trip. 😊

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Thank you, @maryricketts8526! I remember you commenting on the Beaver float plane in the first season, so I included the full remote lake landing in this one! We appreciate you watching and commenting😊

[@tommmarree3689]

LOVE the ROLLING ROCK!!!!!!!

You and us both! It's a great cabin beer. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@kristingrounds4163]

Hooray you are back!!!! Excited to watch the building of the dock! Nice first fish too!

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Thank you, @kristingrounds4163 ! More to come over the next few weeks/months! We appreciate you sticking around and coming back to our channel 😊

[@Bmore4985]

Hooray! Our long wait is over. Wonderful to see you two back in Alaska. What great father and son memories you two are building.

[@Bmore4985]

Oh No! Too Short! ;) it would have been too short no matter how long you made it. ;)

[@OhashiOutdoors]

It is (at least for a few weeks). The videos will vary in length this season. You never know what kind of footage you took until you get home and review it 😂 Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@chas2can124]

You using that trail cutter reminds me of Paul Newman's character on the work gang from the movie Cool Hand Luke. Classis Movie. Stoic and humble.

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Great movie! I’ll have to incorporate some hard boiled eggs into a future season of Alaska videos 🤣 thank you for watching!

[@billgoeckel6344]

Hey my friend good to see you back. You and your Dad are really hard workers, You will have that place cleaned up in np time. Cheers!

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Thank you, @billgoeckel6344 ! We appreciate you always watching and commenting on our videos. Working hard in the woods is a great feeling for us. I'm honestly still a little sore in places from all the work we did out there. It's a great way to stay active and keep in shape. Best wishes to you and yours!

What a great surprise. Welcome back. Looking forward to see some more improvement at your cabin. From Australia

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Thank you for tuning in all the way from Australia! Another episode comes out this weekend 😊 Best wishes to you and yours!

[@deadpinecollective]

Great to see you back. I just posted a video of doing the exact same thing, but with a brush saw and chainsaw. It’s a ton of work and I credit you guys for using hand tools!

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Thank you! I'll head over to your channel and check out your video soon. It won't be long before I get a brush saw for our remote cabin. The amount of ground we could cover and trails we could make would be well worth it. We appreciate the recognition for using hand tools though, so thank you!

[@timclendaniel9860]

Loving the new video, and so cool your dad got up there!

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Thanks, man! I spent lots of time thinking about the editing on this one.

[@Michigan-thrifter]

Wish I had half your energy and motivation.. Good job. Looks nice

[@OhashiOutdoors]

I can't say where the energy comes from, but the motivation comes from doing something you love. Thank you for watching and commenting, @Michigan-thrifter ! Best wishes to you and yours

[@jdfromsc3473]

Hey man, you should try to hang a jug of pin-sol under the eaves on back and front when you leave. The sent may make the critters avoid the area around your cabin. Good to see you back!!

[@OhashiOutdoors]

I'll try hanging a jug next time! I spray the outside down pretty well before leaving every trip, but that probably doesn't last long. Thank you for the idea and recommendation!

[@ekaos5099]

I do so love your vacuum seal, it was adorable. Just nodded in your direction and found you and your family quite entertaining. your escapades in Alaska will amuse me too, 71, Ive been there and done that sort of thing. Bless you all and I pray you keep the Family well as you meet all your trials and tribulations existence will through on your path.

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Thank you so much! I'm excited to get my family out there after it's fixed up a bit more, and are living back in the States. Thank you for dropping by and giving us a try! We will post more family camping trips in Japan this fall and winter. Bless you and yours too, my friend!

I haven’t seen a sling blade like Yours in a long time!!!

[@OhashiOutdoors]

The cabin was built in the mid 1980's and many of the tools were brought out then to work the land and build the cabin. The sling blade is probably one of those tools! Thank you for commenting and watching!

[@virgilchristopherson3626]

Great to have you back with videos of your place in Alaska. I didn't know you were good with the sewing machine. What ever the critter was it sure wanted to get in the cabin .With all the tall grass and weeds do you have many wood ticks there? or mosquitoes ? It's nice you brought Big Al, he is a big help for you. I bet your Dad really enjoys being with you on the trip, where is he from? Great video, how long are you planning to stay this time?, I enjoyed this video it's like I was right with you. Hope to see your next one. Good luck on your adventure !

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Much appreciated, @virgilchristopherson3626 ! I'm not great with a sewing machine, but give it my best shot! I haven't had any problems with ticks in Alaska, but the mosquitos can be horrendous depending on the time of year (they are pretty darn bad in July when all this was filmed). My dad is from Washington State in the US. We were at my Alaska cabin for 9 days. Thank you for watching! More episodes coming soon 😁

I remember reading that you can take the ash from your fire-pit & use it to make a path & no vegetation will grow there. Just a thought to try to help. Love your content & it awesome to see the time your spending with your dad ❣️🍺🍺

[@OhashiOutdoors]

That sounds like a good trick to know! I've been thinking of ways to make the paths around the cabin less muddy, more functional, and still looking good. I'll keep this in mind, thank you!

I enjoy watching the improvements you have done. What is the reason for removing the material from under the cabin

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Thank you! There's a few reasons: I need to fix a few of the foundation pilings, creating more room to work under there, and to store stuff under the cabin when that's all said and done. Thank you for watching!

Energizer batteries. Good choice. Duracell batteries are bad about leaking and ruining electronics.

Right?! I've had the same experience for the past few years. Energizer is the way to go. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Those are probably 45 gallon drums. A barrel of oil is 45 gallons. Also if you keep those plastic drums out of the sun they will last forever.

Good to know! You will see how we rig them in future videos. The ones from the previous owner are probably 20 years old and very crispy. I'm happy we were able to fly our 3 new ones for the build! Thank you for watching!

I should have known 😂 He must still be attracted to all the mountain dew and micro brews I keep in there

[@ErlingTonnesenRune]

Why has no one in North America learned that a front door should go out. Not into the room itself. This protects against a lot of things that want to get in. Not so easy and break a door in. When it stands against a good door frame. And at the same time, it protects those inside that they can easily get out. Also that a door that opens up goes out does not take up space inside.

[@OhashiOutdoors]

You make many good points, @ErlingTonnesenRune , but don't let it ruin your day. I agree with your reasoning; however, a door that swings inward is easier to open in winter when there is 1.5 meters of snow on the ground. A big snow during the night can easily snow you into the cabin. At the end of the day, it's personal preference. Thank you for watching and commenting! I hope to hear more of your thoughts and ideas on future videos 🙇🏻

I enjoy your videos but don't understand why you don't bring chainsaw and weed Wacker in. It would save you so much time.

[@OhashiOutdoors]

We have a chainsaw up there. I use it on the bigger stuff, you will see a lot of that in past and future videos. A weed wacker is on the list of tools to bring up there. I don't shy away from hard physical labor in the woods. In addition to getting things done around the cabin, these are also vacations for me; I'm not too worried about time while I'm up there.

Seems you don't respond to your dad very well. When he was trying to talk to you while you were carving on that stick. He looked hurt because you didn't respond. Why don't you ever take your dad out to go fishing with you? Just sad...people need to appreciate their parents while they are still around.

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Not everything is as it appears. Neither of us did much fishing this trip, but we had some great bonding time in the canoe catching massive pike on our first trip. This was also a fantastic trip! We spent a lot of good quality time together, got on each others' nerves a few times the only way family can, and loved spending every moment working together this trip.
