After 3 years in Oregon, I am getting ready to return to Alaska. My girlfriend and I are looking for a place around Talkeetna and are considering offering a bit of land to someone/couple who is willing to help build. I am 50 and she is.... somewhere close to that.

However, for a young person or couple, it might be the only affordable way to take the plunge to extreme wilderness living. I am looking for something with lakefront access for a float plane. There is a very good chance that the first summer will be spent tent living while the cabins are built. This is not an offer for the weak or fainthearted. Remote living is almost like being dropped off on a different planet for most town dwellers. My background is 20 years of living in Alaska including more than 10 years in the bush. There are bunches of post about my old life in Alaska on these forums (search my past posts for more details). Do you have what it takes?
