I would love to hear from you. I appreciate any advice you are willing to share! I do read all comments & do my best to reply. Please like & subscribe; It helps the growth of my channel. Please share the videos with someone whom you think will enjoy it. ❤ The HD upload of this video failed multiple times. I am not certain if it failed due to my DSL internet connection or the lack of upload speeds (@ 1 Mbps here). Going to research so future videos are presented in HD quality.

Just discovered your channel tonight and have been watching thru your videos! Bet you're as happy I am that the sun is back! Haha Me and my family live in Kenai, grew up in anchorage and palmer. Its funny how worth all of the extra work just to not mess with traffic from the cities anymore!

Hi... greetings from Sunny South Africa 🇿🇦 I recently found your channel. Good luck on your adventures. Look up 'The Campulance Man' on KZbin, he's a pretty nifty guy with advice about batteries, generators, solar panels etc etc. He travels with his sidekick Lefty... kzbin.info

[@jeanniesPlanet]

I admire you so much!!! I sometimes wish I can move to a cabin somewhere far from the hustle and bustle of the city. I do have some questions: How does the doggie cope with this weather? What do you do to take him out for his walks to poop or pee? Do you buy foods for him in bulk for these days where you are snowed in? Or do you make him home foods? What is the cost of living as far as utilities living like you do? Do you use wifi or have internet? What is your plan in case of a health emergency? Thanks and stay safe!!!

Being you live in dangerous temps and burn wood you are always at risk for a house fire. I hope you have a small Out building with a wood stove and a supply of dry wood or some other form of heat and shelter in case your home caught fire when its -40. You need to have some back up for that scenario! If you and your puppy had to exit in an emergency you wouldnt last long with out heat and shelter. Maybe even store some warm cloths, old blankets and boots in a metal drum and a few supplies to get by for a day or so.

[@blacksheepexpedition6347]

A battery heater and keeping your fuel tank topped off is good to do. The fuel tank can get condensation if there is empty space in it so it’s best to keep it topped off. Also you can get a complete car cover that is heated they use them in cold environments especially in Russia. I test vehicles in extreme cold weather in northern Manitoba Canada.

We used to live up there, but moved out to be near elderly relatives. We miss it sooooo much. Love watching your videos. When I met my husband in 1988 he was living in a one room cabin, no running water or plumbing, outside Eagle River. I moved in in the January with my 6 yr. old daughter. It was the coldest January on record but he made it very comfortable with just a wood stove. We later moved to Anchorage and bought a home, but if I where younger I'd do it again!

I'm in Yuma AZ -- gas is 4:49 gallon

[@richardoakley6460]

In the UK I currently pay £1.57 for a litre of Super Unleaded (99 Octane E5), this converts to £7.08 per UK galleon. There are 1.2 UK galleons to a US galleon therefore we pay £5.90 for the equivalent volume or $7.96 for one of your galleons! The really annoying thing is the price of Brent crude produced 100 miles away is $90.08 for 42 galleons do not know if they are UK or US I suspect US, therefore $2.14 a galleon, the rest is tax. Anyway great video and really pleased to know you are surviving.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

It's great to hear from viewers across the pond! I am surviving with a smile! :-) But if these gas prices don't start going down grrr!! You would think that since Alaska produces so much oil, Alaskans would get a break on gasoline. Or petrol ;-) Thank you for doing the conversions. No seriously, thank you!

Today is July 19, 2022. I live in Las Vegas, NV. We have had our typical 110-112 degree everyday summer so far. What I would give to be there in the cold. I envy you, but admire your perseverance. Keep it up, girl. Also, if you haven't already, try putting full synthetic oil in your car. Also, have you considered maybe installing a pully system for your fire wood sled? it would make your life much easier on those days when there is 2-3 ft. of snow and you wouldn't need to drag it back to the door. Keep posting, your videos really are inspiring!

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Recently we hit almost 90F! In Alaska! I never knew it could get that hot here! But it started to rain again and that's great news especially for the forest fires. When I got my oil changed I did go synthetic. Going to try using HEET or SEA FOAM. I wont need to do the pulley system for my sled. I think by the time you hit Episode 38 you will understand why.

Suggestion get an automatic maintainer battery charger and hook it up to your car battery, and leave it turned on all the time that you don't use your vehicle, take it off when you are using the vehicle this will keep the battery full charged when ever you need it.. keep it in your car when you are using the car to travel to the store or locally. I have many on all my battery's on all my equipment trucks, tractors and equipment that sits alot. I also use solor chargers, but with lots of snow and little light they are not really recommended. I thoroughly enjoy your channel and wish you the very best.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Hello there Forrest! Currently my vehicle has an oil pan/transmission heater. The battery has a heater as well. I only turn the heaters on about 4-5 hours prior to leaving. The battery has a trickler on it at all times though. I also always carry the jumper with me. It stays in the house charging and is part of my "go bag" along with camera batteries and my Stihl lithium chainsaw! You never know right!? Yeah solar if iffy here.

Get a battery heating blanket around your battery

$3.95 in my part of Oregon. Sounds like a lot of the other YT Alaska folks got your back, has to be a good feeling. First year in, you'll be getting your stride, you're an impressive lady.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Ahhh thank you! I'm working on a video about the people in Alaska next! Stay tuned! It's a full schedule for sure. I do still have a job (I can do from the cabin), working the property and doing KZbin! The KZbin part has got to be the most difficult :-) Thank you so much for joining my journey! It is very much appreciated!

Gas is going up to 10 per gallon in Florida

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Did you just say $10 per gallon!!!! OMG!! We are still at just over $5 in Alaska! Everything is supposed to be more expensive here not in Florida! That's insane!

[@squirrelcovers6340]

Building an insulated shed for your vehicle might be an option.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

A pole barn! Oh yeah that's happening! In a year or two LOL :-) Thank you so much! :-)

[@owenscanlan7096]

Just from my experience Always leave 3 or 4 logs on top of fire place so they dry better

[@CherylHarpercompulsivespinner]

Great idea. We'll do that at our place.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

I have done exactly that. Not all the time but especially if the wood feels damp. I wont burn damp wood anymore! I also keep “the next” wood next to the wood stove to make it drier. Seems to work! I also have a drying rack hanging over my stove (you can see it in some videos) so I can dry wood and still cook.Thank you so much Owen! Pro tips are always appreciated! :-)

[@candaceaustin4258]

We had pot on stove plus 33 gallon cans by stove fill always with snow to keep water in house

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Great idea! Thank you!

[@bobstewart4342]

My entire day is being spent watching the videos you posted . I'm old and unhealthy so I live in the city now. Your bring back memories, thank you.. be safe

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Hello Bob! I'm so glad you found my channel! You can live vicariously through my channel :-) Where these memories in Alaska? :-)

[@kiwigirljacks]

Gas in New Zealand hit $3.15 a litre which is almost $12 a gallon 🙈😖 its dropped to $2.45-$3 in most places. Expensive here!!!

[@PochoNews]

$ 5.70 - $6.40. It'll be $7 soon. Cool vids!!

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

We are around $5.50 now. It just keeps going up though! I don’t drive often but when I do have to drive its many hundreds of miles. Thank you so much! :-)

[@northidahodreaming5657]

Good video Alone. I understand that it's your first winter there. I advise that you make careful notes to what you are learning about shortcomings in your current preparations so that you can be more prepared for the next winter. I hope that you have a generator. I'm amazed that you have grid power at such a remote location. Substantial water storage, I would think, would be a high priority for next year. In any case, best wishes to you.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Yes when I decided to move to Alaska it was a mad rush to get here before winter. I had a short amount of time to stock up. I am frantically taking notes on everything I need to accomplish before next winter. It's a constant thought running through my brain :-) A Honda generator and a lithium battery generator is on my list to buy. Every single store I went to was out of stock. Very substantial water storage too! I can get water delivery to my cabin (similar to oil delivery) but the water storage containers left at the cabin had been sitting for 6 years with water in them so they need to be replaced. Being connected to the power grid was kind of a shock (no pun intended) to me too as that had to have cost some serious money to get it out here.

[@charlesquick3091]

Well today is February 28 and our gas in independence Missouri is$3.49 a gallon... In January we were at $3.09 a gallon.. So about a dollar below you...

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

That sounds about right! I'd still gladly pay higher gas prices to live here! :-) Thank you Charles! :-)

[@__-yr6jq]

You are awesome! Keep it up, I enjoy your videos!

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Thank you kindly! So glad to have you along for my journey! :-)

[@fifthavenuegirl]

In Northern California as of May 2022, diesel gas is $6.09 a gallon.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

hmmm. I never checked diesel price. I know regular gas was about $5.00 last time I filled up! Crazy!

The days are finally long enough to get out and enjoy the outdoors. It wasn’t long ago and they were super short: It’s amazing how fast the sun comes back after the solstice.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

It has kind of thrown me off a bit! Longer days and I realize I haven't eaten dinner yet! It will be nice to actually do videos outside again! I just don't know how mosquito season will be for me! :-)

[@RaisedinAlaska]

@@AloneinRemoteAlaska I have been in places where they are unbearable and other places that weren’t so bad. The long days will be nice.

[@vickymcbride9042]

The gas here in Santa Cruz California is $6.17

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Only California could beat Alaska when it comes to fuel prices! :-) Just over $5 here. At least 3 weeks ago anyway! :-) Thank you Vicky!
