THE TV SHOW "ALONE' CALLS ME, VISIT A TINY REMOTE CABIN, HUGE WINNER ANNOUNCED

In this video I travel over 200 kms to a tiny, remote cabin in the North, just to check on it and ensure it's still on good condition. I bring it back to life with fire and food.....and a chat. I also announce the winner to the huge prize from last video, an AC180 Bluetti portable Power station.

Hi Chuck, glad I was able to catch this video. I have lived in Alaska all my life now for 76 years and have always lived remote until about 20 years ago when I moved to the road system to be close to the VA healthcare system, I was exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam. I live in Willow, Alaska I just recently bought a cabin on the top of Hatcher Pass and my property is well hidden. I enjoy being alone and I don't like crowds of people. I worked as a Winter caretaker for remote fishing lodges for 30 some years so I could be by myself and enjoy the outdoors and wildlife. In my 76 years, I have been charged by many bears and only two meant business and They are now hanging on my wall. I totally agree with everything you say. Thanks for providing this video to let people know, there is nothing wrong with being alone if that is what you want. Take care.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Tks John. You still live in a beautiful part of this world. I’ve had only one bear that I ‘thought’ might have kept coming, but he backed down last second.

[@johninalaska9563]

Great topic! I'm much the same out in the woods, sometimes I feel as its a mental and physical retreat. I've even slept outside in the fall after hiking in for a hunt, just to be there early. You explained it much better that I could though. Cool get away cabin you have there. Till next time...Peace.

Congrats to the winner Chuck. Liked this little "get to know" thoughts bud and the fact of alone time being good for the soul. I love that very much; if my little cabin could talk! I worked with prov govt dealing with public and dam phones and I too don't even care if I see any more of them! Alone show contacted me as well but I figure why put myself in an early grave, at 75 yrs I figure I spent enough time under canoes in a thunder and lightning storm ahah! If I were 30 again no problem to give er a go. You are a great speaker and visionary Chuck and hope your future stays bright bud! Really enjoy your videos btw.

Feelings are mutual Chuck, I never feel lonely or alone... even after living at my cabin for over 15 years now. I too have been considering applying for that show, as it would be a challenge in many ways! Nice footage of the Borealis show by the way! I just got home tonight and am catching up on KZbin videos before heading out tomorrow on a camping trip.

I love to get out to the store and talk it up, in fact I just got back this evening from shopping and had conversation with three or four people I never met before. I like that. Chuck, I look forward to all your videos year round, and I am sure there are many others out there that can’t physically “get out there and enjoy “ but love to watch your videos and others, our way of “getting out there and enjoying “ Well that’s enough rambling on, got to see who’s up next.😉😉

love all your content. long time follower. can you start improving your video quality by! better than 1080p please.

[@freenewfie]

Totally enjoying my morning tea, sitting by the stove at the cabin on the 2-4 weeking listening to everything outdoors. Congratulations to the winner! I may just have to purchase a bluetti since for some unreal reason I haven't won either on here yet. (Lol) Oh my, that bear mat brings back a bad memory for me. To make a long story short, we where visiting some friends at a remote cabin by boat, cell phones was something captain kirk owned, and the Ladies had a fear of bears and would not go to sleep without it being put down. A recipe for disaster. I would rather hear a bear scratching at the door than go through that again. I could not agree with you more on wanting solitude.. at times.. especially when that includes the great outdoors. Being totally alone in the back country makes time slow down, your mind gets reset, a feeling of relaxation and peace along with many other benefits. And yes, there has to be a balance where you need people to interact. I think sometimes people get stressed out because they haven't found how to escape from what's stressing them, be it alone or a hobby. I have found 3 solid hide-a-ways,..remote cabin, metal detecting, and gardening. Nothing weird about wanting to be alone. A friend asked me one time if i was depressed because I wanted to be alone when I would to go in the woods... ha ha .. absolutely the opposite. When you speak about fear of being alone in the country i too have never felt that... But... As I get older and I can't seem to do physically what I could do when I was younger ( tired feet, muscle in back hurts, cramp in hand, etc.). I am not sure if that is fear but I feel better knowing that I have a cell phone, at least my wife feels better also. I am always amazed how small technology has made this world. Some time back I noticed that we have a common friend on Facebook, we worked on a couple of projects together, and I asked him how he knew you. He said that he was contacting you about a show on off gridding. I now suspect this was that time. If you do decide follow up on the offer, it should be an interesting experience. I haven't watched any of those shows yet but I will. A bit long winded comment today but thats what cabin life and solitude does to a person.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Awesome comment bud. Depressed people probably would never run away to be alone. Like you said, it’s the opposite for us. Glad you understand

[@freenewfie]

@@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors absolutely!! The times where there is complete solitude, is the best time to take a deep breath.

Thats a sweet hunting cabin. I seen this pop up, had to watch this video right away

[@simonlawson2772]

Interesting perspective to hear you say that hunger or other factors would take you out of the competition before lonliness. I know myself well enough to recognize that would not be the case for me. Lonliness would be my downfall. I am an avid outdoorsman and retired Canadian Armed Forces mbr, so being outdoors is nothing foreign but I recognize in myself for example after a few days or a week at my cabin to "get away from it all", I am starving for human interaction so much that I'll sometimes pack up early and head home. I beleive that one of the reasons is that my career was based entirely on teamwork and reliance on your team mates that it has carried over into my retirement yrs as a factor contributing to my uncomfortableness with being alone for an extended period of time. Interesting to analyze and recognize that we are all different. Thanks for the great video! Congrats to the Bluetti winner, youre gonna love it!!

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Thanks for taking the time to express your honesty. I admire the fact that you spent your time serving as you did…the most unselfish thing one could do in a career. Thank you for that. And Tks for sharing your perspective

[@kevinvardy5039]

Another great video. As a retired long haul truck driver I enjoy my alone time. I think people like us that live off grid and enjoy the outdoors and nature and a simpler life style just have a different mind set than the majority of people. Not saying it’s better or worse just different. Being uncomfortable when alone or nervous in the bush or scared of animals is just unthinkable. Put me in downtown Toronto or Chicago is a completely different story I guess it’s all about what’s familiar to you.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

I could agree more. I am unbelievably out of place in the big cities.

Wise words Chuck, especially about people's irrational fears of wildlife. 👍👍

[@wendingourway]

Certainly do enjoy being alone. After spending 25 years in a classroom of students, I treasure the peace and quiet that solitude allows. Sure do enjoy having Otis with me though as he just exudes excitement out of the very core of his being with being outside on an adventure...no matter where or how small. Indeed, being my one's self gives an opportunity for the brain to reset itself I feel, and gives me that little extra recharge to help face the world once again. Nope, not weird, that's for sure! lol Congrats to the winner...that's the prize of the century!!

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Yes I can see why you would definitely need restful times my friend.

[@Cameron_F]

I think the difference from you being alone like you were on the trip for this video versus the show is the lack of animal companionship. I also get recharged from not being with humans (introvert) but I have very rarely been alone without my dogs or cats for the past 10+ years.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Yes, they certainly are incredible companions and you engage with them only as much as you wish-and they are totally fine with that

[@KenC49]

Hey Chuck! Wake up feeling like a million bucks eh, the government must keep that check. Lol. I haven't slept well for at least 30 years. As far as being alone, well I have always been a bit of a loner. Very comfortable being by myself weather at home or in the woods or wherever. I make the comment often that I hate people but in fact I just don't want to be around people much. I'd love a chance of being on alone. Think the recording myself would take some getting used to though. Take care.
