Life in the Last Frontier: Alaska

Virtual. Ever wonder what it would be like to live in a tiny cabin in the middle of the woods in Alaska? To live without many modern amenities, which means going to the outhouse in -30F temps? To have to travel 2 hours to go to the hospital, doctor, dentist and any big stores? There are tradeoffs to these sacrifices, such as experiencing the Northern Lights and enjoying 20 hours of daylight meaning you can go for a hike at 10pm! This presentation will answer all your burning questions about surviving winter darkness, layering for extreme temperatures, living with wildlife, outhouse etiquette and other everyday adventures in the far north. You will feel part of this unique life after getting an insider’s glimpse into why people settle—and stay—in remote Alaska!

Presented by Patrice and Justin La Vigne; Alaska residents, hiking guides, environmental educators, and freelance writers.
