It has been -25°F for almost a week now and at 7 weeks old, Henry doesn't get to play in it! Therefore, I thought that I could stay inside and answer a question that pops up in our comments often..
"How do you live like that?!"
We honestly think this is a pretty cozy life. Small, but cozy!
With a primitive running water set-up, wifi, a place to do your business, and a place to cook, we definitely make do out here in the Alaskan wilderness. The tiny cabin really isn't much different than our camper living was. The camper was easier to organize and had better running water. But the idea is the same!
Pack only what you need to live in a small space and try not to drive each other insane!
We are off-grid here and off winter road maintenance. That means we are not connected to any city utilities and no one plows for about 5 miles of the road. That doesn't mean that we don't have access to the outside world though!
We do have to snow machine in and out of the cabins and we have solar power. With solar power, we do still have wifi and even a TV! The fancy new snowmachines commute us in and out so we can go to town for groceries and water.
At the end of the day, it all works! We are incredibly grateful for this tiny cabin that is keeping us and our new baby warm this winter. By next winter we will have our own cabin on our own property for the first time in over 2 years. We will be creating a running water system, hopefully we'll have a working well, and so much more space to spread out!
The big reason this all works for us is that it is temporary. We can all do hard things for a short period. We love the little cabin and know that we will smile on even the tough days in it. We will probably also never live in such a small place again!
