@fulltime.freebirds: We bought 10 acres in Alaska for under $50,000 Update. Earlier this year, we bought 10 acres of raw lakeside land in Alaska for less than the price of the average new vehicle! Our vision has been to build a fully self-sufficient cabin by hand: no building codes, no HOA, no contractors, and best of all NO DEBT. We started out in a bell tent and recently upgraded to a tiny cabin we built in less than 3 days- and yes, its a shed! But it’s only temporary and gives us a warm(ish), dry(ish), saf(er) shelter to stay in while we continue to build our main cabin next year. We’re motivated by a future where we can live more on our own terms: a life rooted in nature, real food, and regenerative skill-sharing community systems. This has been an incredibly challenging and risky undertaking and we have no prior construction experience. It’s taken a lot of time, effort, research, energy, money, and more than just a few mistakes, but that’s the point! Pushing ourselves, learning as we go, and chasing a version of our lives that actually feels like freedom 😊 Here we go! We’re just getting started! #alaska #cabin #homestead #nature #Sustainability

Make sure you insulate that little cabin well before the winter really sets in. And you need thermal mass to hold the heat, throw any big hunks of metal on-top of your stove to hold the heat longer.

Did you connect to the grid with electricity and gas? Or are you off grid? I understand Connecting to electricity and gas is super expensive, and can cost more than the land itself…

business idea tip! many vanlifers etc are struggling with places to stay / park / camp since most places try to make it illegal now maybe you could use a space on the acres to rent out camping parking places?
