My Far North Cabin: Off Grid Homesteading Talk from Rural Alaska

In this episode, I am proud to present an interview with my mother, Corrie, and we discuss why sewing, crochet, and being able to mend your own clothes are such valuable homesteading skills! She started doing all of these a long time ago, and I'm so pleased to have had her on the show to share her passion & insight. She creates her own garments, adores utilitarian qualities in clothing, as well as being avid about the history of clothing & textiles/fiber arts. She is a long time crocheter and seamstress, and even taught herself to weave and to spin her own yarn!

What are some of the most important things you should be prepared for before making a move to Alaska for a rural off-grid homesteading life? It may not be what you think! Listen for the 5 KEY THINGS to know before you head up here.

I first moved to Alaska 7 years ago to live off the grid, and I've seen a thing or two, so that's why I share this information to help others who may want to know, whether you're moving here or are just curious.
