Breakdowns, Dirt Grading, & High Tunnel Set-Up | Is Gardening in Alaska Worth It?
After clearing the area for our high tunnels, we immediately got to work on getting the ground level and smooth. We started off with a hydraulic cylinder leak, and then we were back out there working with the skid steer. Once the area was graded, we set up the high tunnels. Luckily, we have had several days of gorgeous weather to get our plants sometime to adapt to being in the ground outside...in the high tunnel, of course!

    My guess is...if you factor in likely inflation over the coming years, you will save money not only by having purchased your high tunnels now, but you'll save even more money by not having to pay increased future prices for food (which may not be available because of [insert crisis reason here]). Seems to me you've made a great investment. A similar one can be made by considering inflation of energy prices in the future as well as you build up your solar. You guys are making great moves. Thanks for sharing them with us!

    You might want to check out 'Simple Living Alaska.' They have been very successful with gardening. They moved here from Oregon and lived in Willow for several years. You can go look at their older video's and see their success with gardening. Outside and in a high tunnel. They now live in Northern Alaska and are in Zone 1. This is the first year gardening in that area. Y'all live in an area even more southern than Willow. 😊

    I could only imagine the attention you would have given with the paint of all of the dogs on the side of the RV on your trip. Much better painted black. You guys done an absolutely wonderful job on the inside of the RV. How many miles were on the RV when you got it? You probably said but I might of missed that.

    that little Case is really something in the hands of someone who knows how to use it😏 one thing to keep in mind is cost vs quality of the produce you grow. I live in the desert and grow in containers and have to buy the soil, amendments. manure and a host of organic fertilizers and I know I don't break even, but I know what I am eating. Don't let cost slow your garden down.

    Where did you get those high tunnels? The frame assembly looks pretty fast and easy (when they include all the parts, that is). Those replacement anchors you used look great as well. Do the doors stay shut with velcro?

    Another great video! GOOD LUCK with your gardens this year! I think with all the hard work, and thoughtful planning, you will have success. I liked your cost analysis, I have wondered over the years of watching other homesteading channels if the work & expense was worth it. Of course I understand the satisfaction it gives when you have a bountiful harvest at the end of the season. I hope you will have trail cameras around the gardens, I am curious the different animals that will come around 💚

    Looking better each time. Keep up the great work. I don't live in Alaska, but I do live in the country. In order for me to go shopping it is a 28.8 mile round trip to the Super WallysMart closest to me. My truck gets 14mpg, so it takes right at 2 gallons of fuel each time, plus wear n tear, etc. If we went by the IRS mileage rate - which is a cost of 67cent per mile in 2024 28.8x52 (once per week) 1,497.6 miles x.67= $1,003.39 cost for me to go to the store each year. My point is, it's not just the costs of the product, it's all things, such as that mileage, but also time. I can go to the garden, or drive and spend 40 minutes on the road, plus the hour inside that store, etc. I think your break-even point is closer then you are calculating.
