Getting ready for the first snowfall of the season in Alaska

[@xqzmeartdesign284]

It looks like your moving up the ladder pretty good there Sean, literally... Lol! Now it's one thing to have a generator and solar panels but you really can't beat a wood burning stove. You've hit a home run there! And a special shout out to all your clan, who have contributed (like Brother Will, WAAARD, just to name a few). It's those kinds of people who really help make a difference in this world. On a separate note, just wanted to ask you; Did the snow come earlier or later for you this year? I best be motoring on now, stay safe buddy.

[@SeanInAlaska]

Agreed! I am surrounded by wonderful people! The snow usually hits us this time of year, but this storm had a great deal more snow.

[@advertisercommerce6990]

Snow on its way! Excellent you got the wood stove hooked up. I would of put it through the roof, that way the pipe going inside to the roof would also heat the cabin before going outside. Looks great!

[@mikemckinley1031]

Hello Sean hey your front desk and area looks so much better it doesn’t look like sanford and son anymore great job ( I just like playing around but it does look nice have a good week and weekend here from Ontario Canada ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦😎

[@SeanInAlaska]

I agree Mike lol.....I dislike a messy yard.

[@AlaskanFreedom]

Nice-you're using very little power for that fridge. I'm glad to see it's working as intended.

[@SeanInAlaska]

The real test will happen as soon as my batteries arrive.

[@ColinLizotte-k2p]

Coiu

[@Fitzy222]

Lovely job, Sean. Nice to see the wood burner coming along. Can hardly wait to see the finished wall behind it-great idea to go up as high as the top of the window and door. Thanks for the vid.

[@SeanInAlaska]

I think it will flow better.

[@sargefry]

This is about the time of year that i really get that itch to move up there. 🤞🏻 by next winter.

[@brettadams417]

Ironic…this is about the time of the year that everyone in Alaska starts to think about moving away. Best wishes

[@SeanInAlaska]

@brettadams417 not me! Winter is magical up here!!

[@BlueberryBog62]

I was going to suggest running the stone wall above the wall thimble. Aesthetically pleasing to the eye, good plan.

[@lesliearbogast1]

Sean things are really shaping up there for you.❤

[@SeanInAlaska]

Slowly...I agree!

[@gennova7133]

Looks great, Sean! Can’t wait to see your first wood stove fire of the season 😂 and hopefully in time for Thanksgiving 🎉

[@SeanInAlaska]

I am looking forward to that as well!

[@kristingrounds4163]

Here comes the snow!! Looks like you are ready!

[@builtontherockhomestead9390]

Cold front hit me yesterday. Burrr, to chilly for shorts in the morning now. 😂 I was starting to wonder if summer was ever going to end. Actually starting to feel like fall.

[@johnfeeney6930]

Great video! Welcome back. Did you end up with a lot of snow?

[@SeanInAlaska]

We got well over a foot! I will share in next week's video 😀

[@Nannygoat]

The chimney location adds to the charm of your offgrid cabin Sean.

[@SeanInAlaska]

I agree!

[@kevinwright1551]

Cool getting your wood stove ready for winter. Cleaning up is a task. But we all have to do it too. Keep up the great work.

[@Offgridtrucker]

The fridge is great! The wood stove will be nice! Take care

[@2007KB]

Welcome back Sean

[@SeanInAlaska]

Thank you!!

[@charlesandanaylnw4892]

Great Job Prepping for winter Sean. You should start a second channel Sean cooking in Alaska or Cooking at Home in Alaska!

[@SeanInAlaska]

Maybe when I retire lol....but it is all I can do to keep this one current!

[@josephpedone2004]

Hi Sean, sorry I’m late I can’t believe another winter season is upon us. Stay warm and safe. I was considering retirement but received a promotion to keep me on the job a little longer. They made me an offer I couldn’t refuse . 😎👍

[@SeanInAlaska]

I am jealous! Lol.....heck, I want an offer like that hahahaha

[@trevorclayton6247]

Good progress Sean! Still 80’s here in Florida but I’ll be coming up to my place in Homer in May to clear out some Alders. Maybe small cabin build next year.🏔️

[@SeanInAlaska]

Nice!!! Homer is beautiful in May!!

[@jonathandavis5794]

If you get swirling wind blowing up against that side or the front or the back of the cabin that runs alongside the cabin, the breeze will blow in the moisture in the crack alongside the cabin of the weather stripping wrap.

[@SeanInAlaska]

From last years experience this should not be an issue.

[@raquelhernandez1733]

Well, you've been busy, i think you have done a darn great job all together. The kitchen has what you need, and that's all it matters. Just stay warm, be careful lifting those heavy logs. Always nice to watch your videos. Stay well.

[@kimvanderlaan4120]

Ok Sean!!! looking handsome in the beanies! I could watch you all day (that makes me sound like a stalker 😱) can’t wait to see your winter projects. If you need help getting your Christmas decorations up let know. I’m only 2,400 miles away lol

[@SeanInAlaska]

🤣😂😂😂 I usually just do the tree! Hahahahaha....

[@donnaduhamel6004]

Lookin good!!!!😂❤

[@TheWrightTimes]

Have you considered a log lifter / roller tool to help move logs around. I've also seen a toothed loop thing you can attach straps to to drag the logs. Just thinking in case you hurt yourself lifting those heavy logs

[@SeanInAlaska]

I am looking into one this winter....I am getting a bit old to be hauling logs by hand!

[@TheWrightTimes]

@SeanInAlaska that's good. Glad to hear it. Considering the lifter I mean lol

[@karendegeyter2937]

WELL DONE SEAN 👏

[@AlexB-km7os]

Moving fridge to the corner (same wall as oven) would make more space for maneuver.

[@SeanInAlaska]

True, but i do not want it next to the oven lol

[@AlexB-km7os]

@@SeanInAlaska From other side - with fridge and oven you'll start to eat better and more, so space might be narrow eventually🤣

[@SeanInAlaska]

@AlexB-km7os 🤣😂🤣😂

[@HomesteadingNorthernMichigan]

Good morning brother

[@SeanInAlaska]

Mornin brother!!!

[@johnsemrau6412]

On the south side of the Dodge I'm guessing? Throw about 6 100 or 3 200 watt panels 😁👍

[@SeanInAlaska]

Yup! I am leaning towards the 200 watt panels....

[@ravincathomestead-cecilia2894]

Stay warm

[@SeanInAlaska]

Thanks Cecilia!

[@Sally6Cat]

you amaze me. nice hat!

[@SeanInAlaska]

I got that hat in Dublin in 2019 during the 6 nations

[@Dylan_Miller]

subbed

[@SeanInAlaska]

Welcome Dylan! And thank you.

[@DebbieDee-lx6uk]

Do chickens acclimate to Alaskan temps?

[@SeanInAlaska]

Yes. Mine have done very well with winters up here.

[@SeanInAlaska]

I just did an update on my hens for next week's video 😉

[@manny-perez]

Isn't that chimney stand a bit of overkill!

[@SeanInAlaska]

I sure hope so! Lol
