Shawn, your situation is different. Comparing this very remote site, protected by federal government, no places like this to buy now. You have a family and you are living with one foot in each world at times and can't be so far in back country. Because you love your family, it has to be this way. That said, what you do IS AMAZING!
Plus, the world and population and forest ecology is VERY different now. In late 70s, early 80s I was a park ranger in Great Smoky Mountains in NC & TN. Since then, we have lost a lot of trees species. Im sure it is still better in Alaska, than in lower states.
Thank you, you inspire us all.

Beautiful thank you for sharing. You should get a 360 camera because when you get old you will be able to step back in your life. When you put on a headset it can total transport you back in time or around the world walk on different paths that do surround just like you're standing on that path again. Anyways love the video you're very lucky man to live the way that you do and to have a great family stand behind you. Good luck in the future

Maybe since your wife is from Ireland, you could clear and level 30 ft around the cabin and out buildings, and throw out some grass seed and wild flower seeds, and plant some hardy rose bushes, and make some window boxes for geraniums etc. during the summer. Maybe make a long raised garden bed on the south side of the cabin, for a kitchen garden that would be safe from wildlife, so she could put down roots.

Way before AC, Cooking outside on ones back porch was what all, all the women-folk did. Imagine living in any southern state and trying to cook indoors 10 months out of the year, you couldnt do and they didnt do it. Nearly all southern houses way before air conditioning had a very long back porch to put an outside woodstove on. The kind that goes inside, a house.

He would really appreciate the way you use modern technology to encourage and teach others. What you do is truly an art form. You are helping people live in harmony with nature. Its really no comparison his life and yours. If he were living today, I don't think he could live the way he did then. Too much has changed.

Your videos are awesome. I don't think you have an arrogant bone in your body. I appreciate how you take us on your trips and show us what you're doing. Anyone who doesn't get that is in the wrong place and we can't worry about them. Hang tough.

How many wooden spoons, sized perfectly to make one hot cake, do you think Dick has inspired over the years? His legacy will always live in the hearts of those who love the natural life!

Out of all the people in the world to be able to visit Dick's cabin, I'm happiest for you. This is my second time watching this video. I love it. He was an amazing person as are you.
