We're Jordan and Barb, and we bought a hefty chunk of remote mountain forest in Alaska, sight unseen. And we're starting to think we may have made a big mistake. Watch our origin story about our journey from the big city of Columbus, Ohio, to a remote mountain forest where we raced winter to dig through 750 feet of forest to reach our property, followed by a harried and very flawed -25°F build of an enclosure around our RV, and our agonizing fight to survive two brutal winters off-grid with no utilities and frozen tanks. They turned-out to be the harshest winters Alaska has seen in a generation. 20 feet of snowfall led to a broken ridge beam and it broke our spirits. The loss of our kitty to a predator broke our hearts. With only 7 weeks of summer, and failing health, we enter our third winter in Alaska hoping for a milder winter, terrified and battle-weary. How much snow will we get this year? What toll does this winter have in store for us? Will we choose to sell come the Spring?
