How I Left the Rat Race to Live in Alaska with Million Dollar Views!

From one woman who also craves solitude to another, you’re an inspiration. This was your best video yet. Thank you for teaching us ❤️

My dream was to sell my house in town and move to acreage in rural a country area. Finally at age 61 l did just that. I am 70 now and still love it. I have a little acre pond full of fish. Lots of wildlife. I mow, garden, can veggies and taught myself many things. Alone so happy for you. Rock on friend. We are living my dream.

I only buy three things: Something that MAKES me money (tools, investments), Something that SAVES me money (allowing me to do a project myself, or save me time), and Something that FEEDS me; mentally (books, education), emotionally (family time), or physically (food). Thanks for sharing -Dusty

Thank you alone for the very informative and fun video. Additionally, I appreciate the shout out and I am honored that you’ve enjoyed some of my videos.

I'm a carpenter and used to run a business. The older guys like me, used to pack a lunch and eat on the job while the younger guys went out a bought lunch every day. Eating out every day is very expensive. Wawa in the morning, coffee and a breakfast sandwich, and then lunch with a hoagie or cheeses steak or even a couple slices of pizza can ad up to around $16 - $20 Bucks a day. X that by 20 workdays in the month and you have $320 to $400 a month! Now X that by 12 and you got $3,840 to $4800 a year!!! It adds up very quickly. So, pack a lunch and bring a thermos of coffee and see how much you'll save!!

I've always loved your story; you wanted it, you dreamed it, and you made it happen!

Congratulations to you my son lives in wasilla Alaska I went up there for my granddaughter's high School graduation I really fell in love with the place but don't know if I could survive the really cold Winters seeing that I'm 70 years old but I love the countryside and was able to go ocean fishing may your dreams always come true

i can bring a trailer full of supplies, couple snowmobiles, and a newer highly reliable 4x4. i just learned how to make sourdough bread, so will bring starter and flour. make a list, check it twice . . .

Most women never get their dreams to come true and the only reason I believe that you got yours to come true is because you is obsessed with it you had it in your heart and you lived and breathed it that is the reason why you did what you did for a single woman doing it on her own you don't have no idea how happy it is to know that a woman did this and got her dream❤

I give you a lot of credit, you thought out a plan and a dream and you completed your journey by making many sacrifices. Another great video, keep it up. I was Lucky to visit my son in Alaska this past summer and I loved its vast beauty. I can’t wait to visit again this summer. Enjoy the upcoming warmer weather.

Dreams don't magically come true, we have to make them happen and that can take A LOT of work before you reap the rewards. You've worked and made your dream come true and are such an inspiration Alone. You deserve the very best life in Alaska. Love your channel and hi from Australia. I've cruised and visited Alaska, the most magical and beautiful place on earth and it definitely calls you there.❤

I moved back to Alaska about 1 1/2 years ago, bought undeveloped land, cleared it put in a pad and a couple of 40' connexes, one for storage, and one to live in, set it up with R30 foam insulation without any studs, just covering the floor walls and ceiling with painted plywood. this cost me some 13" inches off my internal dimensions, so my high box ended up at about 92" tall inside and the width at 77". Artic entry with a rubber mat covered floor that slopes to the front door 2" drop in 8', still R30 on the walls and ceiling. Li ion battery bank in the living area and 13.6 KW output of solar panels on 20' tall sun tracking mounts on a old south facing riverbank overlooking a 18' down slough. Most of my heating comes from the charging and discharging of the batteries. Near the winter solstice, I still get some shading from some really tall beetle killed spruce in the slough, and until I clear them out, I will need to suplement my heat through the 5 week period around the winter solstice, (a couple of 20# propane tanks and a indoor safe mr buddy heater handled that this winter). Total expendature perhaps $75 for propane heat and gasoline generator usage over the winter. I am in the process of putting in a foundation for a large log cabin, 40' by 60' with basement completly underground. Current age 68.

Wow, that extra cabin is in better shape than I thought it would be. Not too shabby.

The way I giggled when you said Yeah I was talking and doing a lot of dreaming. 😂 Now look at you.. living your dream. I hope everyone else gets to live their dreams too. Good luck to everyone… ❣️

Well done Alone. You have earned the life you dreamed of. God Bless! Val C

I like a woman who carries a gun. Cute little animal's, i had a ferret and he was a great companion. Its the best life a person can live and die doing. Dick is a big inspiration for me as well, its why i moved to the Rockies, and I'm now looking for my own land in Alaska. I'm hoping i will be heading up there this time next year.

Amazing video! The wow factor kicked in for me. Many things I've done too to acquire my dreams. Cost cutting, planning, investing (actually the tool that allowed me to really grow, financially....My obsession now...and want others to learn..) and yes many of the same Youtube creators were a weekly must. If you want something bad enough, you will find a way! Yes, sometimes it takes somebody to push you, to make it happen. Well you can rest easily now, as there is nobody calling "wolf", in fact I know you don't hear anything out there, except for many "eating crow"! Like they say: It's not easy, and if it was everyone would be doing it! Laughed so hard, when you were talking about the headlamp in your house. Don't take this wrong! You are hard core! Love it. I here now dub thee,, an honorary Sourdough!

I always wanted to life in a gipsy wagon just like my Irish geannoteerd...and here i am living my dream age 75 in Holland in my wagon...i totally understand...enjoy🎉❤❤

Hi, I so enjoyed this video. I’m 66 now and I remember the first time I was bit by the off grid lifestyle. It was 1969 when my uncle invited me to go to their cabin. No power, no generator just a hand pump on the porch and a old ice box. Since then I learnt as much as I could to be able to live this way. I’m Excited now that we just bought 70 acres in more of a remote than we live now. We can’t see any others houses, just the river and wildlife. It’s a beautiful thing and I can’t wait to get moved there later this year. Thank you for sharing your story 🇨🇦🌷

I also crafted my dream of self reliance in the middle of a city. turned my whole lot into a garden.. learned how to preserve that food.. how to live large and free yet frugal and minimalist. I never made more than minimum wage... yet I managed to put almost 200G away and paid for my house. then I cashed out my savings and helped my one and only child buy a house. today... we are worth a combined 1.2 million and can live well within our means even in this horrible economic climate. I have a truck and a van I overland with.. and my daughter has a new car. all about living from a budget and looking after the pennies.. and the dollars look after themselves. if I can do this on minimum wage from running a business from my home.. and learning how to manage my money..? anyone with some self discipline can do it. and I had to grow my self discipline like Alone did. it wasn't innate. I can't quite make the jump to content creation online as editing videos is almost beyond me.. but I am slowly learning to do that as well. currently spending too much time watching other people's content.. lol you don';t have to be rich or have a great job to live your dreams. you just gotta do it the only way you can.
