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.

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?

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

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
