Surviving a Wild Night in America's Last Wild-West Town

Let's take a trip to the most wild-west town in the USA, there is truly no where else like this (you literally can't even drive into this town, you have to walk 1 mile in). My band The Shoot Dangs kicks off a crazy night and then we head back to work on my cabin/house...

I am so sorry Dustin left, he sure doesn't belong in LA, he is definitely a free spirit Alaska boy! Timmy, your kitchen and island ARE BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!! OMG!!! You definitely have your father's eye for using nature to create so many beautiful surroundings!!!! I am still drooling over that kitchen! Those countertops are what really sends it over the top. Now please give your back a break for just a little while. Keep smiling, stay happy, and take care of yourself!

[@catherinewood6769]

Your house is beautiful. You have really worked hard. Can't wait to see it furnished.

[@robertlyon6367]

"We should just come up here and tongue and groove this" 😂 11:50

[@aaleeksii]

lost it at this one 😂 dustin is freaking hilarious

[@Red--Bace2137]

Hey. Part of the rewatch crew. 😊 I'm so glad you did a build film. Imo, you should get an award for your build. It's beautiful 😍 I love the color of the couches. Everything looks wonderful. Thank you for bringing us on your journeys 🙏 Love Alaska ❤️

[@jamiemoore3864]

Every song sounds exactly the same 😂

[@jwall70]

Skipped most of it 😂

[@ronwilson5906]

yea terrible

[@Captndarty]

Yeah, it’s complete garbage steam punk hillbilly Bluegrass

[@louk231]

An epic moment @ 49:42 in when Tim get's to lay on his couch...Well done Timmy. You worked hard and your fabulous vision is coming to fruition.

[@jkell411]

I did not expect that color when he unwrapped that couch.. I was like, "Whoa... Interesting choice."

[@kristynculley7566]

I was so wanting them to be the same color of the barstools. But hey, if it makes him happy.. mustard yellow it is lol

[@Nature05731]

⁠@@kristynculley7566Exactly. The color of the barstool would’ve been better because the walls of the house are already brightly colored and the barstool color compliments the room better.

[@candui-7]

I am a woodworker/site super working in one of the wealthiest areas of the US. While the houses in microscopic sterile perfection remind me of 5 star prisons, yours is far more perfect for a human.

[@danielsadventures360]

Surviving a wild night in America's last Wild-West town sounds like such an exciting experience! Love every moment of this adventure.

[@bobothree]

Tim, what you are doing by notifing subscribers of a coming video is not helping. What it does put an alert on our list of subscibed channels that looks like a new video has. Then we open your channel only to find out it's an upcoming video, but not yet a viewable video. The alert the video is available warning goes away and miss viewing your video when drops. Solution: don't alert us to videos untill we can actually view them.

[@barbarawilliams5621]

You work sooooo hard Timmy, it is no wonder your back protests now and then! I must say we enjoy you and your buddies, you guys (and gals) do have fun! My, your cabin is looking gorgeous! You are really moving along now. The rock walls, counters, wood stove and rock floor really make it pop. The couch looks sweet-I can see you and your band mates enjoying time together..the wood stove crackling, lasagna in the oven, cold beers all around….ahhh it will be sweet!

[@NEIL-CURCIO]

I remember McCarthy on that Discovery channel show “Edge of Alaska” and I remember the old guy (I think his name was also Tim) who lived in cabin next to the mine and he said not only was the mine haunted but he would be hanging out on his front porch in the dead of winter and he was the only person who lived on the mountain and there would be people waving to him in old clothing from the windows of the mine - pretty crazy

[@annearmagh]

Can you imagine what your bud is like actually ON speed? Jeez...................😵‍💫😵‍💫😱

[@relaxingdrives6075]

Who’s to say he isn’t already on it?

[@suehenderson2598]

A bit annoying

[@conniewieck6158]

love love your house it is so beautiful. Coming together so good can't wait to see when it's all completed. I have a couple of questions, first off imb69 yrs old so don't understand the music you played. Where I'm from I'm use to rock and roll, country, there's more but that's the 2 I mainly listen to like the good old oldies for me. Anyway was wondering what kind of music you play cause it could be my phone or ears but it sounded like every song had the same kind of beat. Also your habd/fingers have got to be so darn tired and sore from playing so fast. Just had to ask. Also maybe sometime you could share more on that I think river that you said it will burn your hand and I thought the other guy said something about it would just take you under. So I'm really curious to hear more about that. Thank you and have a good weekend.

[@t.sewell1513]

I could only take about 5 minutes of that screaming and then I’d have to bolt lol.

[@t.sewell1513]

@@conniewieck6158Tim probably won’t see your comment unless you write it in the main comment section. You wrote this in a reply.

[@debbiebarnard2922]

I'm amazed everytime you post a video! Whether it's building your home, or trekking around. You are an amazing person!

[@Skipppp8705]

Dustin and Timmy good gawd. What happens when you get these two on e-rides. Best duo, I can hear him sing were the two best friends any one could have.

[@patdewald9516]

My favorite part of your channel has been "the build." To watch the craftsmanship and skills required in action is fascinating. IMHO, one of, if not THE sexiest thing a man can do is build things.🥰 I look forward to seeing the final final living art piece.

[@amandabradley6256]

I absolutely love the joy you have in unpacking your new furniture. After so much work Tim….you deserve it all plus some. Love the colour of the couch by the way❤

[@joestolarski3376]

That car ride there reminded me of the opening to a horror movie where everyone is having a blast doing normal teenager stuff while recording it then boom it all changes

[@Whistler326]

Lastly cant wait to see Dustin in his element at Burning man with his ONE wheel!!

[@dustinhjames9112]

Yess! Let’s start manifesting this people!

[@GrandmasGonnaFlip]

Love your adventures, Tim. The house looks so beautiful! Amazing truck life. Glad to see you take time for FUN man. All work and no fun is unacceptable. You are truly blessed, be thankful.

[@tommon6591]

Suggestion. Extend the fan chain and run it thru a small loop anchor near the window.

[@user-qt9rs9wu1s]

House looks great Tim. Don’t stop the videos. Love you all the way from Mississippi. Take care. 😊

[@jbpeltier]

You seem like the friend that's always responsible for creating great experiences for everybody. You remind me a lot of my buddy Hunter. He has this way with just "making things happen." Great video, and God bless you and keep you!

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always Timmy. Your cabin is such a work of art sorry to see Dustin gone he’s truly a legend and free spirit. Can’t wait to see your next Big Adventure.

[@esiebert7625]

Haha, I have those same exact bar stools for our bar 😎

[@leighreese1780]

I LOVE your new couch Timmy! And all I can keep thinking as I watch your house build videos is how good your house must smell with all that fresh wood you have built it with! Heavenly 🥰

[@pnwusa]

congrats timmy with your counter tops in and some furniture.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼yaaay!!! great design choices. your home is really coming together and it's going to be absolutely stunning. you must be ecstatic. and honestly i am super happy you survived that scaffolding. i knew you would obviously butt... dang. that was crazy to watch. hoping the very best for dustin moving to la. continued blessings to both of you.🕊

[@melissajules8694]

I enjoy your friend he makes me laugh😅.

[@mikekrauss-wo4vj]

Hi Timmy, I dont know if you will read this but id like to tell you that I really enjoy your videos and I just subscribed to your channel. You inspired me to do something I always wanted to since I retired 3 years ago and that is to build a rig and just travel around until i get too old to do so. Im going to start looking for a rig next spring and hopefully have it finished before the middle of the summer. I used to live in Anchorage and still have friends there and I hope to get up there next summer. Keep the videos coming and stay safe out there!

[@TruckHouseLife]

That’s awesome Mike do it!!

[@roaming.around]

deep gratitude for the Mt Blackburn clips, Mother was Mothering!! shout of Dustin for the KGL shot ❤ going to go make magic happen in LA ✨

[@jafleetwood9714]

You should take alot of pride in your home you put so much work and love into, it's absolutely beautiful and very homey.

Your home is beautiful. Timmy, living his best life! Good on you bro.

[@dbikeguy]

these vibes are off the charts i NEED THIS IN MY LIFE. timmy you gotta come to maine my man, im a mainer, you will fit in perfectly

[@jojobean2845]

I got so excited when you put the barstool up. Woohoo! Love to see everything coming together. 💕

[@janetkimbrough5559]

I am so happy for you! Your house is so beautiful. I love everything that you’re doing. Congratulations!

[@george31380]

Your going to have to hang that nail gun on the wall as a monument to the tool that built your house. Lol. The build seems to be coming together quickly since the floors were installed. It all looks amazing. It would be cool to see a video of the entire build on fast forward and a cost breakdown of what a person could possibly build on a budget, ofcourse with some very good friends to help. Excited for the finished product and to see whats going to be next......possibly a year long vacation HAHA.

[@lindabenfit3425]

Thank you, Timmy, for showing us all that it is never too late to have a happy childhood! From the beauty and innocent laughter on the adventurous road trip, to the ending video of opening the couch and feeling like a child on Christmas morning!

[@BrLambert]

You have earned a lie down on the new sofa (really nice) for sure. (You can get those sliders or pads to save the wear and tear on the floor) Your friend is infectious, I don't know him but I was sad to see him go. What a nice friend.

[@KristinaBenoit]

Dustin is hilarious! It's so nice he was able to help you with the house.

[@vinnie42ful]

Ha ha your bro likes to hear the sound of his own voice, great video Timmy 👍

[@stephenbradley801]

Timmy, you remind me a lot of me when I was your age I moved to Alaska from Colorado when I was in my 20s landed in Anchorage moved to Homer Eagle River. I’ve been to Garwood. I know the area but your KZbin channel brings a lot of those memories back to me coming from Colorado I had more energy and more oxygen than I knew what to do with and I was a hell of a lot stronger when I was in my 20s than I am right now in my 70s keep up the good work. I’ll follow your channel. You crack me up man you’re like the energizer bunny.

[@murielbiggs.4701]

Full video with so much fun. The good times with the music and dancing. And a new couch. It is fun to hear your excitement about the couch. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@JustDeacon]

The moment I saw him scraping the sofa along the floor, I was like ouch. Then it happened. LOL!

[@chagosoutdoors3122]

Timmy. It is amazing what you have done in your cabin / house build. It looks absolutely amazing. It's great to have so many great friends to help you along the way.

[@alannguyen5050]

Your friend has such happy energy! Love the videos, so peaceful and beautiful.

[@Captndarty]

His friend is attention seeking and obnoxious. He needs not to speak.

[@1911MikeinOregon]

The house looks incredible Timmy. Even the smallest part of finish work makes a big difference. The couch looks nice, and it worked out really good around the window. Almost looks like you ordered it to fit around the window.

[@greghalter934]

Never in a million years would I have imagined what was happening in the middle of nowhere Alaska LOL.

[@faithmorehouse5940]

The bridge reminds me of Letchworth State Park railroad bridge except that it's now blocked off from pedestrians. Great video! The house is unique and beautiful with it's mix of colors, wood and stone, you can truly call it your own! 🌞

[@JoseyWales-ed]

House looking great! I’m from KS and come up every July for the last 5 years to see my sis and fam. We camped, rafted, hiked and hung out in McCarthy and Kennicott. It was absolutely amazing, to say the least! I leave in 2 weeks to go back!! Can’t wait! Take care!

[@Whistler326]

Johnny Lungs and the shootdangs Slade the dragon....omg ( Good times and of course the obstacle course on the way in was one of kind!! That old Subaru ( think you paid 500 for it....still rocking the alaska highways) Loving the Ebikes Escooter and of course my one wheel.... a nice of alternative to getting around without leaving a carbon footprint!! Great way to relax watching with my foot up after surgery ( removal of bunion on my big toe)....Thank you for the distraction!! Warmest of regards, ps cant wait to see who is lucky enough to be your first tenant!! Cheers, 1000 islands Canada

[@bobflores]

Brought back so many memories of my trip to McCarthy and the mine. We even stopped at the same bridge over the gorge. The road in and out was probably the longest and roughest road I've ever been on. Don't know how we made it without blowing a tire. Your house is coming along. Thanks for bring us along.

The House is absolutely Beautiful.

You can always find a nice rug to come out a little from under the couch, it would cover the scratch and look nice.😊
