Simple Living Alaska
In 2018 we made the 2,500 mile trek from Oregon to Alaska. We downsized our house, our land, and our possessions in pursuit of a self sufficient dream. We landed at a tiny cabin surrounded by forest in beautiful Southcentral AK, never expecting we would be living "off the grid." Each day we face new challenges as we learn to embrace our life here in the wilderness of Alaska.
Tag along to share our experience living life to the fullest, connecting with nature and creating food we are passionate about.
Cheers,
The Illia Family

Wishing all the folks out there a Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍂
There's still time to get your hands on a 2026 Alaska Calendar and have it arrive well before Christmas!
This will be our 8th winter in Alaska ❄️ Going into this season we will be slowing down and taking more time for ourselves in 2026.
A simple thank you couldn't possibly encompass how grateful we are for the community who has been with us all along.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! We will catch you on the flip side ☺️

Starting tomorrow we will do our best to upload one video each Saturday! Thank you so much to the amazing community of people that choose to follow our journey here in Alaska. Although we try our very best to be consistent, we are making this decision to give us more grace. As always, we sincerely appreciate you watching ❤️

Winter has made it to Alaska, there's snow on the ground and the rivers are beginning to freeze. With the move last year and putting our energy into building up our new property we are sad to say we will not have a calendar available for 2025. We apologize and hope to be able to share Alaskan images in the future. Thank you so much for being a part of our journey and supporting the channel! 💙
