This Tree Would Have Crushed this Cabin | Port Protection, Alaska

Three trees had already fallen on this remote Alaska cabin. But the biggest threat was still standing.

In this second and final chapter of our hazard tree removal project near Port Protection, Alaska, Scott takes on the largest and most challenging tree of the entire job. After lessons learned from the previous day, it's time to put the rigging, wedges, chain hoists, and come-alongs to work.

What makes this project especially unique is the perspective. Join us high in the canopy of towering spruce trees, looking down at the cabin and views above from the shoreline below. From ground-level chainsaw work to aerial views from the treetops, you'll experience every step of this remote Alaska project from angles few people ever get to see.

With steep cliffs, massive trees, and a cabin directly below, every decision matters. The goal is simple: remove the final hazards and give the homeowner peace of mind before the next storm rolls through.

Life aboard The Alaskan Gypsy continues to bring us into some incredible places and unforgettable projects. Thanks for joining us for another adventure in Southeast Alaska as we live self reliantly 4 seasons in Alaska aboard our sailboat.
