[@Kev-Downunder]

[@deebrake]

Thank you for sharing this. My husband and I are really enjoying how you lay out things clearly the good and the challenges, much appreciated.

[@carlwagner9863]

Just started watching your channel. I’m working on all your videos from the beginning. You’re doing a fantastic job.

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Awesome! Thank you for watching from the beginning ❤️

[@danielinsactown8987]

great song & informative ideas 💡 👍🏻

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Thank you

[@danielinsactown8987]

I suffer greatly with chronic pain and I need to pour a footer around my 12 x 26 carport that because I want to close it in. Pouring cement for me is out of the question but I can’t afford to have it done. I think using this foam will save me some of the backbreaking, bending and squatting of the forms construction work…

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

I hope it helps. It makes form work super easy. Good luck.

[@paulc1352]

Nice job on the foundation.

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Thank you 😊

[@kengmoua7620]

Winter videos? Lots and lots of ice 🎣

[@jenniferhuerta9824]

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Glad to hear it, we love our Alaskan viewers.😁

[@benwhittier1041]

[@nathanclay9694]

I feel like you owe me $200! Because of you I bing watched a lot of your videos and was late to work 😂👍🏼 really enjoy your videos. I’m in Idaho and would LOVE to live in Alaska! Keep up the great work.

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

😆😂 thank you

The snow clock is ticking Ryan. Great to see some concrete being poured.

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Winter seems to be coming fast this year. We met a goal for summer and now I can relax a bit. Hopefully lumber prices drop next spring when I start framing.

[@bobmariano3731]

Wow 😮! 👍that’s one hell of a operation you got going on there …..love the video & congrats 🎊🎈🎉 on your build .

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Thanks for watching.😊

[@richnusser6079]

You guys might not be far from Mitchell’s in Alaska they have a channel and they are near wasilla I think.

[@pullemfar]

Looking forward to your winter vid series!!!!!

[@joecallahan3379]

Pretty slick, i like it, kind of thought you were getting gouged a little but seeing what was involved, labor and equipment intensive, can see where the cost is also the very short season

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

It was an interesting process to say the least but I still feel like I may have gotten a little gouged.😊

[@joecallahan3379]

@@wildwoodoffgridalaska I hear ya, was definitely pricy

[@thenorthernwoodhouse5015]

hi Ryan brill video bet your buzzing you got your foundation done in the nick of time lol take care and be safe

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

It feels good, especially beating old man winter.😁

[@TheHunterGatherer]

I used fox blocks on my addition 12 years ago. It was a lot easier for me in NY State. I was able to call and get concrete delivered. I have family in AK. Mostly in Kenai and Soldotna. I actually have an aunt and uncle in Tok too.

[@notorioustinman]

I understand the exorbitant cost of that pour now. Wow! Those fellas certainly earned their pay! However, that settles it for me... I'm going with piers! Lol.

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Yep, I thought the same thing. Makes a guy appreciate a pump truck when you can get one.

[@margaretbedwell58]

That is great that you got this foundation poured before your first snow fall. Tell me, That is going to fill up with snow, then melt, how do you get the water out? Excited for you getting this far along. Y'all have a Blessed day.

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

The ground in Tok is so well drained that it will just suck right into the ground come spring. It amazes me every year how much water this ground can drink in a short time.

[@margaretbedwell58]

@@wildwoodoffgridalaska Amazing. That is great though, unless you really did want an inground pool under your house. Hahahaha

[@dwhite1282]

Freakin winter 😬...about to leave Eielson and head to Glen Allen to finish off our work season. Congrats on the foundation really exciting see a project come together

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

I always feel unprepared whenever I see the snow coming down the mountains. Glad to have the foundation finished before the hard freezing comes.

[@dwhite1282]

Wildwood Off Grid Alaska no doubt...when you see the snow coming down the mountain you know we ain’t got long

[@roadkillontheweb]

Great content, thanks for sharing.

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Thank you

[@Lapeerphoto]

Looks great!! - I didn't see them vibrate out the air pockets. Is that just for formed walls? Happy Winter!

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

We vibrated it, I just didn’t end up getting any footage of that process.

[@ouroffgridalaskanlife3998]

Great job!!! will you still make videos during the winter while your not at your property?

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Yes, we will be putting out new videos weekly.

[@ouroffgridalaskanlife3998]

@@wildwoodoffgridalaska thanks!! Looking forward to them!!

[@dannyl6507]

@13:38 Isnt the frost line in Alaska 90 to 100 inches?

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

It varies throughout the State but you are correct for the Anchorage area.

[@jiminalaska]

Could you give us a cost of dollar per yd of concrete or the cost of the foundation. I love the Tok , Northway Jct area. I understand that with the gravel in the area that frost heave are not that big problem. How about a cost of the well and septic system. I will keep watching.

[@MyAlaska12]

Do you 2 ever go to Petersville? If you do, let me know. Would love to show you my place. I'm an Alaskan vlogger also. I've been doing it for about 3 months now. I haven't met any other Alaskan bloggers but have found several on KZbin

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Sounds like fun. I’ll be in touch at some point. 😊 have a great day.

[@coldalaskan007]

I sell fox block, fantastic system.
