Tail ridge air, I don't think that I have seen so many seaplanes in one place. Looking on Google maps.. but that being said, and every single one of your videos you're flying into that cabin. So how did that cabin get built. The whole thing is interlocking tongue and groove.. even if you have an Alaskan sawmill you don't make that on-site. I'm here is the aspect of your canoe.. I don't know of any sea plane that can put a 17 ft aluminum canoe inside of it. Okay I know maybe two or three types but you're not landing them on that little pond.. the sea ducks that can handle transporting materials like your cabin and canoe are basically a floating c-130 cargo plane.. you should make a video on how bigger stuff like that gets transported to your cabin if you need it.. I'm sure there's a few viewers that would like to understand the logistics of how you put a cabin in the middle of nowhere where there's no roads..???

Lake Hood in Anchorage, AK is the largest float plan airport in the world! That's my primary means of getting to our remote cabin in AK because I don't live in AK full time and do not own a vehicle, boat, or sea plane in the state. In my first video, you can see the 17' Grumman canoe strapped to the boat of an old 1950's Beaver Float Plane. That's how we get external loads (larger items like canoes) transported out there, although it is quite expensive. The cabin was built in 1984 by the previous owner, who was a bush plane pilot. Her and her pilot friends flew the pre-fabricated milled cedar log cabin out there in pieces and assembled it on site. Thank you for watching and commenting!

I plan to build some rustic highly bear resistant shutters for all the windows on a future trip and will use the current ones until then.

If I had a cabin that remote. They make sand filters better about the size of a beach ball or about 18 to 20 inches.. it's made for your small above ground pools that are about eight thousand gallons to 12000 gallons. And then you get to IBC totes. They're 275 gallons of each. I'd find a way to put them about twenty feet above my cabin.. flowing through the pool sand filter. And down into the cabin. All gravity fed.. get a small one in or 2 in universal pump so I could take and pump water from the lake up to the IBC totes about once a month. And that would be a good summertime water supply. The advantage of something like that. I'm sure that your water filter, filters aren't cheap. So if you pre filter your drinking water before you put it into your partner filter for drinking. Your filters will last longer. And I with a 1in gas powered pump they're small enough. And only weigh about 50 lb. When you need to flush your sand pool filter. You just hook it up backwards, and flush it with about 50 gallons of water. So a pool sand filter that holds like five 30 lb bags of sand. Mae lest you upwards of 30 years.. when used in that configuration.. but you should probably change the sand 10 years.. now you're probably going to say you don't need that much water capacity. But when I see you and your dad working hard all day long. It's nice to be able to take a shower. So if you get 25 ft flexible copper pipe half or three-quarter inch in diameter. And wrap it around your stove pipe. There are KZitem videos on how to do it. Now you have hot water. On a gravity-fed system. Whatever your stove is running.. another thing you can do if you have that copper pipe wrapped around your stove pipe. Is you put a 55-gallon drum on the ceiling of your cabin.. so when you don't need hot water, the water comes out the bottom of the barrel and returns to the top of the of the barrel.. or halfway up from Center. When the stove is running and I'll create a thermosiphon. Just like a coffee pot,, what that does is that point heat the water the drum.. and create a thermal battery.. when you have a a metal or plastic drum 50 gallons of water heated to 200°. Inside your cabin. Your fire in your stove might go out at 2 a.m. that barrel will still be above 100° at 10 a.m... I know it's cooler wet days for it just takes the heat out of everything including you. The barrel full of hot water I'll take the chill out of the air. And as a bonus you always have hot water for dishes. Or whatever you might need hot water for..

Britta filters are great for home use! We use a Berkey water filter at home, and the one I brought to our Alaska cabin is a cheaper version of a berkey. It's the filter quality that matters, not so much the stainless steel vessel. You can never trust what gets put in city grid water, you're a smart person! My wife and son are SUPER excited to visit the Alaska cabin with me. It's a lot of travel for a 3 year old (Tokyo to Alaska), so we are not sure when we will make the trip as a family. Soon, We hope!

You didn’t show us the fish catch because you didn’t want to make us envious and hungry? I am looking forward to the “snow” episode.

Thank you, Mr. Jud! I had a lot of time to think up that beginning sequence. Now I'm just shooting from the hip with whatever got caught on camera 🤣 I bet an international Tokyp-Anchorage float plane company would have some interesting Yelp comments. As for a well, If we end up really making use of this property in the future, then yes. It would probably be either a hand-dug, or pile driven with a hydraulic jack-hammer. Given that my plan is to build redundancy into this place, the well would have a hand pump AND a pump powered off a battery bank. Thank you for watching, we hope you continue to enjoy the adventure! There will be some good pike fishing in another few episodes 😁
