We take our first trip of the summer to our cabin. We lost 15' of bank this break up, we got some target practicing in and took a walk down to our gravel bar.

Love your channel, your country cabin I would slice a couple trees in half and make a full length big stairway to the cabin. Saw mill needs a project.

That is our first project when we get back up there. Those stairs were “temporary” like 3 yrs ago

I know very little about Alaska, yet I realize that it is far more inhospitable than the wilds of B.C. where I live. Too many Grizzlies for my liking. Depending who you listen to, there's also a whole bunch of people who go missing every year up there. I have listened to dozens of videos by some of the Tribal Members up there. "Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch", with Fred Roehl, Curyung Tribal Council Member from Dillingham Alaska is the fellow with these Podcasts. Fascinating stuff and if it is truthful (which I see no reason why it isn't ) there seems to be a serious problem with unexplained incidences, sightings and encounters. Just wondering if you have ever experienced anything that mystified you?

Man it’s sure awesome to watch you guys with ur boys. Mine got killed a couple years ago. It’s painful and joyous to watch others with their boys. Cleaning guns , cleaning mine went off….can’t get past it. But I live though videos like this man. So thanks great videos I’m a new subscriber. Keep up the good work means a lot to guy like me.

Nice, first trip out this year, the cabin looked great. Pretty tough breakup this year! What's your thoughts on the bank erosion solution?

@diyalaskanlifestyle Жыл бұрын

I’m thinking about cabling 10ish logs together in the winter and dragging them over the bank which will be cabled to a couple big concrete pads sittin on the ice. When the ice goes out the concrete will sink the logs leaving a vertical log wall next to the bank

@AKcabins 11 ай бұрын

I also lost 15’ of bank this year. I did some spruce tree revetment for now but I like your idea.

@joedoakes8307 Жыл бұрын

Can't you have some steel piles driven along the river edge , and then filled in with rocks\dirt ?

@diyalaskanlifestyle Жыл бұрын

I’m remote river access only. I could bring my skidsteer up in the winter if it gets that bad I might bring it up but for now I’m just hoping the tundra lays down on what’s eroded and that should hold the soil behind it

That’s my plan cable logs together and pull out on the river in the winter with concrete pads to sink the logs making a wall against the bank when the ice goes out
