Alaska Off-Grid Property Development | Coastal Tree Clearing

A day of tree felling in the remote wilderness of Southeast Alaska. We anchored the sailboat near a friend’s developing cabin site on Wrangell Island to help clear dangerous trees that were putting his cabin at risk with the prevailing winds. Chainsaws, stale gas, rusty chains, excavators, blown-down timber, and plenty of chaos. Pretty standard Alaska spring startup energy. 🌲⚓️ Living aboard our steel schooner means every stop turns into an adventure, and this one involved dropping trees right along the coastline while waking equipment back up after winter. Some cuts went smooth… some definitely didn’t. Welcome to real life in coastal Alaska.
