For the first time since I started writing this blog, I think we completed all of our goals from the last year! Our goals included getting a greenhouse up and a garden going, getting ducks, and finishing setting up our solar! You can even watch us building the greenhouse on Life Below Zero: Next Generation!
Other things we accomplished in 2023:
- Filmed for Life Below Zero: Next Generation
- Installed a wind turbine (Amazon affiliate link)
- Moved the garage off the bluff
- Tried new foraging recipes
- Fixed some vehicles
- Drove the ALCAN to get a new truck
- Fixed the driveway to the beach
- Canned wild foods
- Moved the shower indoors
- Painted the greenhouse
- Added kitchen cabinets
- Stained the wood countertops
- Floored the entire main floor of the cabin
- Built our own 48v battery
If you notice empty spaces, those are projects that we can’t speak about yet because those episodes haven’t aired. We are super excited to share them, here and on social media soon!

Goals for 2024
Our goals list for 2024 is pretty short, but that’s because the projects are pretty big. We have a lot of things we want to work on inside the cabin, including wiring and plumbing everything. We also want to get stairs built to the third floor so we can start putting the girl’s rooms together. Our big outdoor task will be getting a well in. We have a friend bringing equipment out this way to help us dig it, so there is a solid plan in place for that.
I’d personally also like to travel more, so I’m hoping to see (and show) some more of this beautiful state! I still plan on gardening, and maybe getting some more animals but until the well is in I haven’t fully decided yet. We will need to clear some land and add fencing before we get big critters.
I hope you have a wonderful 2024, and thanks for reading!
