Ep 8. Taking on Extreme Alaska

In this episode of Living Alaska, we follow three families as they take on the challenge of living in extreme Alaska. First, we meet the Janssen family, who have lived off the grid in a remote cabin in the Alaskan wilderness for over 20 years. They are now looking to upgrade their living space and build a new home with modern amenities. We see them working hard to clear the land and build their new home from scratch.

Next, we meet the Collier family, who have moved from Colorado to Fairbanks, Alaska. They have purchased a fixer-upper cabin and are determined to make it their dream home. We see them working hard to renovate the cabin, which includes dealing with a leaky roof and updating the electrical system.

Finally, we meet the Johnson family, who have built their own log cabin in the wilderness near Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. They have created their own power source using solar panels and a generator and have a thriving garden and greenhouse. We see them working hard to prepare for the upcoming winter, including chopping wood and stocking up on supplies.

Throughout the episode, we see the families face various challenges living in extreme Alaska, including dealing with harsh weather conditions, navigating the rugged terrain, and living off the grid. We also see the incredible beauty of Alaska as the families explore the surrounding wilderness and take in the stunning landscape.

Despite the challenges, each family is determined to make a life for themselves in extreme Alaska and appreciate the freedom and beauty that comes with living off the grid. This episode showcases the resilience and determination of Alaskans as they take on the challenges of living in one of the most extreme environments in the world.
