How Long Can I Keep Doing This?

There is no question about how daunting the daily tasks of living this lifestyle can be in the harsh conditions of Alaska. Will I be able to continue to live this way as I age? Will I continue to be healthy enough to live this way for the rest of my life or will I have to sacrifice my dream just to survive elsewhere? Life currently in Alaska is a challenge, can be dangerousand daunting for many but I am determined to not let these things stand in my way; even as I age. Subscribe so you can follow along on my wild and wonderful journey as I enjoy living in Alaska!

Modern conveniences make for a lazy people! I am a 53 yo single female in almost remote South Dakota with an eleven year old, dog, cat, and a rabbit ranch. We grow our own food including medicinal herbs, chop wood, tend to the animals, the list goes on and on. If i let my mind wander, I'll sometimes catch myself wondering about growing old alone and being helpless. Then I remember that I'm in very good shape for my age, have a young heart, a love of learning, and an unyielding determination to get what I want! And of most importance, all we have is today. Not sure about yall, but I'm not going to let what ifs steal my time away. Follow your heart, chase your dreams, and let the good Lord take care of the rest.

My mom went in for a scan and three weeks later she was dead of cancer that was everywhere in her body. It was in her brain before I could say goodbye. She had so many unfulfilled dreams and accepted a subpar (abusive) marriage. She was 69. It lit a fire under me. Even if you don’t live forever in your cabin, you DID. At least you got to and you have done amazing work.

Being alone in the remote area for an intelligent individual like yourself is not loneliness nor expressed in any other depressing words. It is actually a blessing. I believe in at the end of your life, you want to be able to say that “I’ve been there and done that. It has been a beautiful life.”

[lorrainehernandez]

I’m 67 years old and I went through a period feeling sorry for myself because I was all alone, some days I couldn’t even get out of bed and one day I said it’s not loneliness, it’s independence 😃, that day everything changed, it was all in my head 😆

Brenda here, I am so glad you made this video. There are those of us who enjoy living different, using wood stoves for heat and living in nature. Alone, your channel is so good and well thought out with humor. We truly look forward to Fridays with you. Stay safe, healthy and good blessings to you both.

[BettyKoehler-zgsv]

Living alone has its benefits! You will be doing what you do for years because you love your lifestyle. I, too, live in a log home in the forests of Pennsylvania, and would choose no other place. At 80, I am still able to take care of everything inside and out. I believe that is what keeps us going, and enjoying the way we live. It isn’t for everybody, but that’s okay….it’s for us!! Keep on keeping on, Alone!! 👍 Love from Pennsylvania 💕🌷🐻

When you are as now, young and healthy you make plans to be able to stay in your cabin as you age. Ways to make your everyday chores easier.
Every year we make improvements to do just that.
Take care of your medical, dental and mental health.
You are doing something that so many people dream of yet never do.
My niece was a hospice nurse and she told me that the one thing her patients regretted the most was spending too much time at work and not enough time doing enjoyable things.

Hi im 64 and from the UK, but have lived in Turkey for 8yrs and the views here are very much like the views you have, , minus the snow, , winter rains mainly, İ walk many miles, in the hills and mountains which keeps me fit, Sadly i lost my wife of 40yrs in Aug, and i know she would not want me to sink into lonliness and sadness, so i have come to terms with things on that score, , i get up when i want and go to bed when i want, , When i was working i lived by the clock, now i dont even know what day it is, it does not matter, i admire your way of life, i really do, you have my sub.

[openedeyes]

You aren't alone. You have your channel and people who enjoy watching it. You are doing what you love. So many of us lived life working at jobs we hate and never getting to do what we wanted to do. Then when you finally reach that opportunity, it's too late because you've abused your body working a job that gave you arthritis and a multitude of health issues.

The first home I lived in was a dry log with electricity . One outlet and one light bulb in Central Alaska off a generator . Loved it !!! What I had noticed about others that wanted my lifestyle , was most folks ran ran out of things to do in a year or so . Next thing, they left everything and moved back to the lower 48 . What prepared me for that freedom was spending years in Antarctica living in a tent . Keep doing what ever you want there . Don't worry about getting old either . Cheers on you !!!!

[cowgirlhippiechick]

I am glad you are living your dream..on your terms. Your lifestyle will keep you fit and healthy! Take it a day at a time and please continue to share with us!❤

[jeanetteeast]

I’m am a woman of a certain age. And I love being alone. I have had love and children and family and it’s wonderful. But I am absolutely ok with on my own.

[BajaGirl]

My mom is 92, living alone in Door County Wisconsin. Way up there! She loves it!!

[hannelievanbrakel]

There are many older people that live alone, there is no reason why you cannot go on as you are, as you say, do not let other people dictate your what you do, and you love doing what you do....! If you are mentally healthy you can go on for very, very long!! Doing what you do every day keeps your body healthy, so 'go girl, go...!!!❤

Greetings from Fairbanks. Been here 5 years....I'm living vicariously thru the off grid folks. It's never too late to get a handyman for companionship and labor.

[terryolsson]

You are such a good woman. You display such integrity. It took years to decide to act on your dreams. Your dream was not whimsical. You soul searched and when the time was right you acted on your dream. You are strong and connected to your soul. You know who you are. Most people never discover who they really are. I admire and respect you for all these virtues. It is what it is. No regrets. Tomorrow is too far away to muddle your daily life. You live in the moment. No past, no future, just today. Thats the way we all should live. You logically plan for your current needs based on your finances. You are in many ways my hero. From one woman to another. God bless you and keep you safe, strong and happy.

[harrydog]

You have a won't mind set. We introverts are rarely lonely. We like ourselves, rely on ourselves, find things to do or do nothing at all😊. You are living your life on your terms. And if or when the time comes that you can no longer care for yourself, you are strong enough to realize it and accept the next faze. What ever life brings to your door step you will accept. Take care young lady and God bless💕💕

[OssoLily-ixvz]

🎄 Im 71 and have lived alone for 15 years. I’m very much an introvert and never do I get lonely. I can honestly say I do worry a little a bout getting really sick alone, but I certainly try not to dwell on it.

[futurekron]

I have no problem "roughing it" in my off-grid property. I own it. I get to work from home for myself, and I suffered through years of corporate America to build up my SS--enough I could live off of in a worst case scenario. If you own your own home, have no debt, own a good vehicle, have money invested/saved, you'll be fine. To me, it's a luxurious lifestyle. Good on you.

[janisaschim]

I admire your lifestyle. I live in a van and often get the question, “where will you live when you can no longer live in the van”? I just tell them I’ll make that decision should I have to when I need to. I’m 73 and going strong but who knows what tomorrow, or the next minute will bring. I love my lifestyle! Keep on doing you and thank-you for sharing.
