Winter in Remote Alaskan Cabin under the Aurora (-28F)

[@ryanbacon3442]

I lived in AK for 14 years. From 21 to 35 and some of the best days of my life. It’s a land like no other. Even as beautiful as Montana, Idaho and Wyoming are, nothing tops AK. This channel should have so many more subscribers!

the Neighbor is the clutchest person in this series and his house is my dream house

[@Dan_Slee]

A suggestion for filming in the darker areas, especially winter and in the cabin at night. Get some bike LED lights that mount on tripods with external batteries.

[@Itsmaaark1331]

Man definitely love your guys content. There’s more than just a video. Theres so much stuff to appreciate . From outdoors, doing what you love, the workmanship, to the brotherhood, and to me what I value is the time you guys put into this. Much appreciate this . I rewatch the videos multiple times. Can’t wait for the next one.

[@Deadmen.]

Thank you Mark. I really appreciate that

[@Itsmaaark1331]

Your welcome I’m glad I came across your guys channel. I enjoy watching a lot of other stuff but. Your guys stuff has a lot more to it.

Thats just like i remember alaskans. Kind, helpful to people who help themselves. Man do i miss it.

[@zilchryme3777]

This is just so amazing, thank you guys so much for bringing us along!

[@gideonkroll5573]

I'm so glad you guys experienced AK in the winter. I've always said "the snow birds get to see a great part of AK during the summer. But God's gift to those who stay, is the northern lights". Can't wait to get more content this summer! Supposed to be an early one.

[@elsienorback7689]

Great footage. It’s much like what my brothers and his friends do in Alaska. They did it all: built a cabin in bush area along with a shed, trapped, hunted grizzly, black bear, moose, caribou, dall sheep. Camped, fished, hunted, got cord wood, all of that. It’s what you do when you grow up and live in Alaska. You live the wilderness lifestyle. Nothing better in this world.

[@YakubFloyd]

An LED light chain will transform the cabin into a cozy place.

You guys are the best!!!!.....Just a good time to be with each other!!!

I love that you raised the American flag at your cabin. It’s like the cherry on top 🇺🇸

I love how easy y'all are to watch, listen to and laugh with. Makes it feel immersive.

[@arjovenzia]

After the ordeal and starvation diet of the first Ep, Its nice to see you with a well packed larder. My Dad n I recently got into a rough fishing hut on a river island (spend my inheritance with him whist I can still spend time doin fun stuff with him). Not quite as challenging, but its still a few hours drive, a boat trip, and a muddy quad bike trek. Our direct neighbours out there are great, been living there for 20 years, helped us out with a bunch of things we probably could have managed/figured out ourselves, but local knowledge is invaluable. as is things like a sundown glass of red wine, or a group going out to dragnet some prawn and then have a cook-up. really found a great little community. when your that remote, having that community suddenly becomes so much more than in suburbia. been loving the vids, many more adventures to come.

[@MerlynCooper]

I like when you take a moment to just paint, it's very soothing.

[@MulliganMisfitsGolf]

Hey, Deadmen! It would be cool to get some context on the process of obtaining your land, its associated costs, and the total size of it. Very, very interested in this! Great work guys!

[@busimagen]

It's not much different from buying a house. For me : I found a property I liked; wrote down the MLS info and any additional info about it including the realtor person (and the company the realtor was with) who was representing the seller; went to another realtor company (usually best practice to *_not_* use the same realtor company as the seller); handed them the info and told them, "I want this." After that, your realtor will ask you to give them an _earnest deposit_ (usually a check for something like 2 to 3K dollars that shows that you are "earnest"-ie., you are being serious about your intentions-that will later be taken out of the sale price-ie., you get it "back" by not having to pay that much money from whatever the sell price is; if you don't end up buying it after all for legit reasons, you get the money back directly). After that, your realtor contacts the seller's realtor, and negotiations begin. You get to look at the property, find out any details about it, if there are any easements on it, etc. For land, usually a surveyor will go out to the property to check and mark the boundaries (usually at the seller's expense). You will give them an offer (often you will offer slightly less than asking price, but nothing insulting) and the seller will usually give a counter offer (unless you just agree to what they are asking from the start). Usually it is good to accept the counter-offer (your realtor will give you advice on all this, and do the direct negations for you on your directions). If you are offering paying in full, when it comes to signing over the land into your name, you hand them the check. If you are doing some kind of loan with the bank-I'm not sure on the details, but I think your realtor can help you out on that. Once the paperwork is signed, it has to be registered with the county (the title company doing the signing process with you will do this automatically). Generally, your realtor will guide you through each step and work with you to get your land. After signing, you own land (if it was still 1790s United States, you also would finally be allowed to vote-non-land owners wouldn't get that right for a few decades). You will get a notice in the mail from the county about the registration, probably a short survey, and they will inform you about when you will need to pay property tax for the next year. Prices for land can vary a lot. It can be 500-1000$/acre for some properties, 10s or even 100s of K $/acre for others, so search well. I would say avoid properties overrun by scraggly black spruce trees (usually a sign of boggy ground). Properties with birch and aspen are likely good. When you are first searching for a property you like, use Google Maps set to satellite view to get a better idea of what the property is like.

​@@busimagen i screenshot this whole comment. Great information thanks.

[@busimagen]

@@garrisonkelley7053 No problem. I hope it was helpful. If you have any questions, I can try to answer them. One thing I can suggest is that if you think, "I can't do this because of problems X, Y Z, A, B, C," you should ignore that and instead go with, "I will start aiming for the end result, take the first step, and deal with any potential problems *When* they *each* come up." You can usually conquer each problem when you come to them, rather than getting gridlocked worrying about all of them before-hand. Your realtor will usually be a big help here, too-helping you with conquering these things when they happen.

[@garrisonkelley7053]

@@busimagen yea xyz is really just money right now. But a man can dream. Worked on a ranch up there for the summer and bought a truck I lived in my truck in Houston AK area by choice for almost 8 months. Work ran slow cause of winter and a lack of connections cause I'm from Texas, "Carpenter/ranch hand", plus I have a family who were in texas. Anyway long story short, learned alot in my failed attempt to move my family there but will try again when finances allow. I just stockpile information until then lol. It's much appreciated.

[@jeffreymorgan8044]

Great video you all been through the fire together now the fun

[@BagsPackedFamily]

Hey guys. I look forward to watching this video with my family.

[@russellbush6323]

Pretty sure I’ve seen everyone of y’all‘s videos, and I am extremely impressed and entertained! Top quality stuff…. You deserve 1 million subscribers.

[@wpgrogue]

When you went to the cabin in the winter, I was all smiles. I am happy I watch from the beginning. I hope I get to see more winters here.

[@jenrobbeardling2489]

Traveling to Iceland this summer and there's a chance I'll get to see Northern Lights at night. So happy you guys got to see them in your own domain. Feels like Mother Nature reserving her rare gift of night light for only those brave enough to face the cold. Hats off! Thanks for the rad videos.

[@j.sargent9172]

I live in VA, and they were just here 2 weeks ago, except I didn't know until the day after. Some people got amazing pictures and it's a bucket list for me, I can't believe I didn't know

[@StephTellnTruth]

And Josh your art is great!! I love those cabin paintings, they are beautiful

[@shawnfortner5457]

I visit AK every year, spent 6 weeks in homer last summer fishing. Really appreciate seeing Old Glory raised. You boys stay safe

[@maxtothebest]

Greetings from Germany! What raw and authentic content you boys produced is just amazing. I really enjoy watching your videos, what fabulous mix of cinematography, unpretentious outdoor content, authentic relationships between men. Wholesome! Thank you so much Josh and the rest of the crew!

[@hereforyoutube7695]

Still at work for the next 2 hours, but will absolutely be watching this in its entirety when I'm back available. Always love your videos!

[@StephTellnTruth]

Yeeeeeaaahhh!!!! Im so happy you guys visited and are able to do more videos. This is fantastic!!! Its really cool to see whats possible in building with just your mind and the forest. Thanks to your awesome neighbor for helping. Its awesome to see everybody supporting you guys adventure. God Bless!!!

So nice to see young men living out this great adventure, the way men before them did. Welcome to Alaska!

[@mademoisellekaya1438]

32:26 O MY WORD... 😯 This is the MOST BREATHTAKING night time-lapse i've EVER seen here on yt !! Wow... And mega happy to see you guys back! Missed you! I have been checking up regularly to see if I had missed out on something and here you guys are! I literally was lucky to be there at your first upload about the cabin of you'll and love the bond you'll have and hopefully you'll still have with the others.. I miss them too.. But, super happy to see you making this adventure, 10 hours driving and 3 hours extra with a snowmobile... that is no joke, especially when the temps are low! You got the best out of a week worth! Another week worthwhile looking back at and the cabin looks fantastic! You'll made a fine job of her if she's still standing strong 💪 Thanks guys, I really loved watching this (although 1 tip Josh, please get a LED light for filming so we can see inside the cabin when you film, it is sadly too dark 😳 i'm sorry, don't want to be negative, it is positive feedback, it's just dark in wintertime ) Hopefully we'll see you soon again, this was wayyyy too long 😆 I'm going to watch that time-lapse again!! Absolutely A MAZE ING !! Edit, do I forget the thing I too wanted to say, the cooking of Chef Dash? Jummy!! 👌 And the Art... I wished that I had that in me, I love it!!

[@Deadmen.]

Thanks for the wonderful comment! Yeah I definitely agree we needed a better lighting set up. Sean and Cody were sad they couldn’t come too. Work and KZbin are hard to balance. Thanks for always watching the videos! We appreciate that

[@mademoisellekaya1438]

@@Deadmen. You are welcome 👍☠😁

[@zvxkacka]

Guys, i watched all of your videos and first i gotta say that I love your friendship it’s so pure. Secondly, I have noticed that you don’t behave as much as your typical American (i worked and lived in the US for a year only though) but your jokes, sarcasm, reasoning is super close to Czech people (especially to my Boy Scout group). I don’t know what you will take from this comment but once again you are amazing and I love watching your videos. May your friendship lasts eternally!!

[@killingtimeitself]

that kind of behavior is pretty common here among friends. Maybe not strangers, but anybody you know pretty well that kind of stuff happens.

[@Deadmen.]

My heritage is Czech which is pretty funny you commented that. Thanks for watching!

[@johnbinford6706]

Man, the lighting in there... It looks like it would be very depressing to be in that dark cabin during the winter. I would definitely have a window project on the list, and more light sources for nighttime.

[@brendalloyd8427]

I’ve enjoyed and been proud of you all for doing this…I wish more young people would do this…it’s so many life lessons and we will need all this knowledge in yrs to come…proud of you boys ….👍👍👍👍

[@PoppyZRX]

You young guys have such great attitudes........plus that "can do" mentality. Greatly enjoyed your cabin videos. Take care, y'all...........from Alabama

[@AttackorAdapt]

I feel like you've all got itch now. The North, be it Alaska, the Yukon, NWT, or Nunavut in Canada gets into you and stays there deep down. The prospectors, and miners, trappers, they all felt it. Any Jack London story is gonna give you that same feeling. Your content is rad, not like the other stuff that's super edited and doesn't feel as genuine as your Lord of the Cabin series. Plus you're all pretty funny, I feel like you'd all fit in as locals. Living in the north is almost like being at sea, we get pretty twisted with the humor.

[@2artactical55]

An Argo 8x8 with snow tracks can get through any trail with a 1000lbs of gear and food and won't get stuck. Those snow mobiles can only do so much, and it's not as much as an Argo 8x8. Did I mention an Argo os Amphibious and you can fish out of it like a 4 man boat?

[@JohnDBloch]

I dont know how I missed this upload, I think it happens when people announce a premier and then I never see it again. Just thought about it two months later and i'm glad i found it!

You guys videos are probably my favorite because they’re exactly what my friends and I would have done 10-15 years ago. Please find every excuse to do this continuously throughout your lives or you’ll fall out of the habit and see each other less and less trust me.

Great video showcasing the cold and dark winter! Love the ingenuity and problem solving!

[@killakwik]

this is so much fun to watch. my family has a summer cabin that we used to go to in the winter for new years. not as remote as your cabin of course, but still plenty remote for central Idaho. This video reminded me of those times with my family. it's already a favorite place of ours in the summer, but someday i'll take my daughter up there n the winter. Thanks for sharing the adventures.

Hey guys just a survival tip. Your heat source should always be at the level of your sleeping arrangement as a stove won’t warm anything below it in extreme cold. I winter camp in tents and even with a stove too big for the tent if the stove is too high you freeze at night. Be safe so you can enjoy years of adventures guys. Love the journey so far.
