I am really enjoying your older videos! What a life. I wish l could do this.

Tree is an Aspen, the others are black spruce and white spruce, cottonwood is the trees down by the Tok River and have the rough bark. The low bush cranberries are actually a lingonberry and are wonderful first thing in the spring after they have fermented slightly over the winter. 😂🤷‍♀️

30 acres you need a barn for equipment you need a wood shed you need shed for chicken you need some places for animals you need a garden space this is the place smoke house.

Good morning, my husband and just found your channel. Thank you for sharing your experience.

got nothing to do before school starts up again, therfore i will binge this whole playlist haha

So we started watching these videos from the start and this is where we're up to so far. WE ARE hooked!!! Beats Netflix for binge because this is real life 👍 Very tempted to skip to the latest video but we will resist.

I would rather have the 30 acres. It is beautiful!

Wife and I bought a 10 acre parcel in the southern Oregon mountains. We have a year round stream, lots of oak, maple, alder and evergreen trees. There’s 3 acres of open field for goats, cows and a two container barn. Lots of wild black berry’s. I prefer the 30 acres over the five. The five acres will give you a start for fire wood for setting up a place to stay in the flatter/clearer areas on the 30 acres. Have fun and God bless. Ron and Grace

One thing I would consider would be accessability in winter. Tok is much further north than Wasilla and winter temps drop considerably more than down south near the Cook Inlet area. Beautiful country to be sure but even in Palmer where I used to live, the luxury of an occasional snow plow was a huge bonus. BUT, if you're outfitted for it and have four wheel drive vehicles to transit in that area (30 acres or even 5 acres) then you could conceivably deal with it. Just fuel for future thought. As long as the water table was reachable, water wouldn't be a concern. And then there's the permafrost issue. I'd be interested in seeing your decision. Still, it's a beautiful place and I'm sure you've paid your dues to be able to enjoy a place such as this!

With that big beautiful, bright smile your wife has just do whatever she says and I know you'll be happy

Ryan, I know this is an older video and you'll have started building on this 30 acre site already, I just wanted to add that the labor you have already done to the 5 acre's only added to your investment as that labor added to the value of that 5 acres. I also wanted to mention how much I enjoy your video's be blessed and may 2021 be a better year than 2020.

So my thoughts are clear out the 30 acres areas for where and what you need there. Keep the other 5 acres maybe a wood storage facility to store cords at maybe if close and plausible. Now i will always favor more acreage over less acreage. I would suggest having a good plan and knowing how to execute it would be the more crucial part of this project for you.

Although I’m about a year late with my comment I’d go withe 30 acres. You’ll be able to shape a park like setting for your grand kids and create a generational compound that could be handed down generation after generation. Develop the 5 acre lot, sell it and with the profits put that money into the 30 acres.

Just found your channel and we love it so far! Now that it's been a year since you posted this video, we will have to check out current videos to see how you guys are doing! Keep going!

Move to the Thirty Acres U could always sell the 5 acres ready to build on

Definitely the 30

YOUR PUP IS GORGEOUS!

I love it! I was very happy to see this pop up on my KZfaq feed. The intro with the music and scenery. The journey in the atv to the new property had great editing for motion / time. and then, the music and exploring!

So beautiful!

30 acres would be great! Truly back to nature.

Hello Neighbors! Nice place. That is my childhood playground. Enjoy...its a beautiful place. We are off between Moose Nugget and Goshawk. Welcome to Tok. Apen...is your tree as already stated. Couldnt see the scratches on the one too good but Id guess Moose or Porcupine. Keep a good lookout for diamond willow. Nice pieces can be found. Best wishes!

I love this land very nice

I have an infatuation with Alaska - some day soon maybe - very nice life adventure 👍

I just started watching you yesterday so I have no idea where you started building because it's been 3 years since the question was asked, but my thoughts since you posed the questions would be to build on your 5 acres, while you sit on the 30 acres and use that time to watch the landscape throughout the year, get to know the snowfall in and out accessibility. Learn what is on theland do your research by living near it. Just my thoughts

Love all the Smiling going on.....All three of ya, lol. Looking forward to following along more now. Best wishes

The 30 would be great but the 5 would be awesome too...love Alaske👍🏼

The tree bark... it was a rare arctic low-bush berry loving nocturnal chupacabra... they love to scratch their backs on trees under the half-moon light.

You are very lucky to have that kind of property , because where I live in the north part of Mexico, we don't have that kind of forest, is a semi desertic land, wish you the best on your journy, you have a new subsriber, best and warms regards and respect from Mexico.

hi brill video yes you need the 30 acres just like Mr Garfield Zimmerman said cannot wait till next video keep safe and have fun

Boys in the woods boys in the woods boys in the woods

I'd definitely use the 30 acre property. Especially if you got cattle in mind.

Just have fun and know you will make the right decision here soon.

Hi guys! Glad I stumbled on your channel, it was good to see those smiling faces again! I found an old photo of us from back in the day. I’ll see if I can share it....

Another thought...some goats would help with the clearing too. Pygmy goats aren't so big but they do a great job, would provide milk to drink or for cheese or to sell. Check out the ones Al has on Lumnah Acres.

That mark on the tree is probably your neighborhood sasquatch.

Just stumbled on this - I love that style of life. We immigrated from South Africa and ended up in Australia. Another beautiful country, but very hard to be off grid. Water is mostly the biggest issue. A very dry country. I live on an acreage too and try be self sustained as much as possible. Looking forward to watching your journey even though you are probably now at the destination. All the best and thanx for sharing :-)

Definitely I would do the 30 acres

I spent almost a year living in Bettles during the summer seasons and saw bark stripped from trees about 4' above ground. I learned it was rabbits stripping bark, while on 4' of snow.

Big property

Move in sun is possible off course your property is huge BIUTERFUL good to heve a caw golth tikens 👍

30 acre plot all the way! So much more opportunity over there.

Move to the 30 acres, and do your hard work there. Even though you have completed alot on the 5 acres, you could probably get a good profit on it. I would want to get started on the 30 acres soon, to get a house completed before winter sets in again. Thanks for this video and see you guys soon again in the next one. Hey you you tubers out there subscribe to this channel for them to reach the 1,000 mark.

High from Van Buren Arkansas I'm a recent new subscriber Alaska is one of my favorite States love to visit it but my opinion on the 30 acres is where I would move to look forward to seeing y'alls decision and look forward to more videos

In Ohio our Beach Trees have a Smooth bark like that

Plenty big trees for a good tree stand!!!

I would make your home on the 30 acres. If you were planning on living off grid, it would be a better place because you would get more sun light for solar. I would have to mark a trail though, I would get lost (in either place) LOL. Also if you want to have plenty of animals for self sustaining life style you will need the 30 acres. Have a Blessed day. PS....there is probably enough wood in clearing to build your house.

Thanks for the view...I have a possibility of getting a 5 acre parcel around Tok . Same thing just timber .. trying to make my mind up

Want the five acres sale for a bit more. Due to the prep work. And go solar to run well pump and a few items. Upfront cost is pricy but man long term you save..

The bigfoot that wants your wife to cook and clean for him made that rub. LOL

Couple of bug lights should help

Poplar tree, moose feeding on bark.

Hello from Netherland....this tree what moose maybe tasted have aspen tree i ques ...nice property have different berries and maybe even mushrooms in autumn

What beautiful land! What are the positives of the 5 acres, the fact you have some cleared or can you get electricity there? Would you be doing solar at the 30 acres? Last question..how much snow falls in Tok?

30 acres all the way!!

Moose Rub on that Tree

I would move to the thirty acers

Always carry a stick to nock down spider webs. I hate spider webs in the face.

The 30

I don’t know where you are with funding, but I would go for the 30 acres

Man i wish I had the funds to buy land that large, and have the ability to doze and build a home

Bark missing on the tree........Has to be a moose!

Living there full time? Or are you going to be 'snow birds'? How long did it take you to get from the 5 acres to the 30 acres? "Lots of Logistics"! , I also have 2 remote properties in Alaska!

Go to the 30

BEAR!

I just found your channel. Pretty cool. I think it's great you got over a thousand subscribers in 7 months. I'm struggling with subscribers but only started my channel about 3 months ago. What's your secret? Ha ha

Thirty. Not even a question

Are those poplar/popple/ aspen?

move the operation to the 30 acres

Bair rubing in tree took bark off

No brainer, 30 acre plot hands down. Just sell the 5 acre parcel off. My 2 cents. :)

30 acres

Live on pad till you clear part of 30 ackers

Moose rub on the tree

A bear 🧸 (claw marks)

Grizzly

Moose rub

30…30…30…30

It looks like a bear stripped the bark?

Please i like to discuss something with you...tell me how we could get in contact...what you are doing is very interesting...

Big Foot ????

Moose or deer

Sell the small property and put that money in the big property.

30 acres is better. How much for ur 5 acres

Well that’s definitely not a cottonwood. Don’t know what it is but it’s not that

Can I buy 1 acre from you
