Remote Alaskan Off Grid Cabin ||FIRST FIRE IN THE SAUNA||

[@davidspeese1443]

A next year project you can do is make a car port for your 4 wheelers . So if you have to do maint on them you ll be dry. Great job on cabin and out house !

[@claytona57]

Your projects are coming along very well. Idk if you already thought of it but may I suggest for your sauna that you make either an aluminum box the size of the stovetop or use a large cooking pot filled with Lava Rocks to pour water w/a long handled cup on top of the rocks. 👍🏻

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

@@claytona57 our next trip up we will bring some rocks up

[@ThomasWalker-p1v]

You two accomplished many task in a short stay at the cabin. I liked the outhouse sign. Enjoy your videos.

Thanks for sharing your Alaska adventures with us. Your channel is my favorite off grid series I watch. Im not sure if you are monetized or not. But you definitely deserve to be paid for your veiws. Keep up the great work.

Yes we are monetized and we make money but not enough to quite working. YET!!!

If that’s spruce you used for the sauna bench seat, you might consider using cotton wood as it is a softer wood and much cooler to sit on.

[@lorettafrancoeur8476]

Hi, hope everything is well with you all. Anyway Merry Christmas to you and your wife and family 😊

I'm about ready to move in !!!!

[@runningwildutah]

You can also use your pump to circulate the water to heat up the hot tub faster instead of having to use the paddle.

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

@@runningwildutah yes that really helped get the water hot usually when you get in the water on the btm is a few degrees colder then the top and that is with stirring with the paddle

[@CathiePetrasek]

Always things to do, I hope you have some time to sit and enjoy your hard work. I wonder if you store your motorized equipment/ tools in a shed of some kind while not in use?

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

@@CathiePetrasek I don’t have a shed yet it is coming next summer, for now most stuff is sitting on be of my covered porches

Starting to come together up there, man, next project you need an out shed to keep all your stuff in gas cans generator, chainsaws all the essentials

They make a gas cap that auto feeds from a gas can that they sell on Amz. For the generator.

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

@@br9117 I have one for my honda generator I use for my motorhome they are nice. The main reason I havnt done it at the cabin is I know it will just run all day and night I’ll forget to shut it off now it will run out of gas. It’s nice not hearing it. When I build the generator shed I’ll prob buy one and hook it up

[@lorenzoizzo100]

Are you going to build stair rails for cabins for slipping safety

[@mattvandorp6469]

Love the cabin. You gave me some ideas for my shallow well at my cabin. How deep are you and can you pull water in the winter by allowing it to drain back or does it freeze? I just froze and broke my new well pump last week because I forgot to drain it after filling my holding tank, lesson learned

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

I have 40’ of pipe in the ground and yes I use it it the winter,sometimes I have to dump hot water to get it to pump

[@mattvandorp6469]

@diyalaskanlifestyle I'm right on the creek and only down 14' but haven't tried pumping with trash pump in winter. My creek has a thermal and doesn't freeze so we have been just dipping buckets but that get old. You can watch my cabin walk around on my channel.

[@BruceWitcpalek-ws1rh]

You are definitely living the dream 💭 💭!! All the hard work you and your family did up to this point is starting to pay off nicely. I was wondering if you wanna answer this question🤔 is the river. The only access you have to your property or can you make it up there with the ATV? Also, how long of a boat ride is it to your cabin? Thank you in advance, and God bless.

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

@@BruceWitcpalek-ws1rh 50 min boat ride yes it’s the only access on the summer in the winter we take snowmachines in

I would have got a roller poured and rolled on the deck. My back could not take using a paint brush.

When you guys leave the cabin, get some kind of cover; vinyl or wooden cover for your Hot Tub! That way,stuff won't get in it!

Try a cast iron pot with river rocks for steam in the sauna

[@akomni-vr5gt]

You don't want to use river rocks when heated if they have cracks in surface they heat and can explode.

How deep did they have to drill and is it good drinking water?

Greets again from Hamburg in Germany- from the facility manager. Heathly lifing-life live- JFK Junior said it some days ago- again: 2000 diferend chemicals in US food. (forbitten in the EU) Healthy building is my topic- there are many chemical poisions in house building material. Sauna- culture has its own security rules because you breathe hot humidiy air into the lunges and the skin breathes also. By sweating you sweat stuff out of the body but in the same time the skin can breaths chemicals and transport them in the blood. The biggest danger ist the air- You must close the inside with wood- you must cover the fake insolation with wood. Humidity is in the insolation does not matter if it is rockwool glaswool or plastik wool. In that stuf is also chemical antifire stuff that will lose when its in the near of a heat sorce. The pipe insolation (black) between the logs have cancer producing softmakers in. Heat loses its poison and you will breath that in. In my sport club we take down -demoloshed_ a 10 year "old sauna" it was a high end system from skandinavia- BUT the rock woll was full of fungi total rotten between the wood. Crazy. Fungi has a smal partical that can press between the wood into the sauna. Saunas have to be build traditionell. In the east they use moss between the logs! They regulate the humidity and get dry in the sauna use. Its natural. No chemical. As more wood as better the insolation. Also put big wood slats outside the sauna. Dont use spray foam. Fill gaps with moss or wool! Long therm is the use of the sauna a good thing. But if you dont protect your body from cancer producing softeners in plastic insolations or rockwool chemical you gather all kinds of things in your body. Like the softner in the plastik windows. No where in the EU or east europe you will find a sauna with plastic windows. There is no need for a window. Many have a small extra room like a mudroom to hang the clothes or shange the shoes there is also the shower and a sitting place for 2-4 persons for "the drink after" or food :-) The good thing is that you have enough space in front of the sauna door to create such a "entry change clothes" room. This is also importend to keep the heat in the sauna while you go in and out. I think that this second miniroom would be warm enough because its heated by the sauna heat to. Remember: As more wood- fiber masses is in such a sauna as warmer it will be and as longer the heat will stay.For safty reason: A small air hole in the floor with mice grids and air holes on top could lead some heat into the WCs and fresh air will prefent a lack of oxigene. PS: I would take the plasitc windows out safe them for another building and close that part with much wood. The heights of a sauna the ceiling is also a number. Als lower it is as better the heat turbulences. If you sit in the bench you will enjoy the heat under the ceiling. Heat rises to the top. Consider to change the heights of the sauna room for a better feeling. And let the dogs wear a ski- glas for cold wind protection. Love Frank

Before you build that stupid tub, should have, built a garage for the boat, so you could work on it, winters, just in case you have to for an emergency, hard to work on engines in the cold days or night, If I know I'll be in the boonies with my family, and my only way to get to emergency help, I had to rely on engines, first thing Ima always make sure to have is fuel stabilizer for generators atv boat, those are your life lines, for survival, or maybe it's because I'm black, I think of these thing's

What a joke. Off grid is not generators, hot tub, running water, electric lights, a four wheeler, etc., etc., etc. You're only fooling yourself.

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

Well I’m a 60 min boat ride away from public utilities into the middle of nowhere I think that’s the definition of “OFF THE GRID”🤷‍♂️. Running water from a well I pounded by hand, trees my family and I harvested from the property drug to the building site with a 4 wheeler, and a generator for electricity in one of the darkest places in the world during the winter months. So tell me about our Off Grid Property.
