Remote Rescue in Port Protection | Tree Removal on a Damaged Cabin

When a powerful storm rolled through Port Protection, Alaska, the aftermath was immediate and serious… trees came down directly onto the house. In this episode of Alaskan Gypsy Life, we head back out to tackle the damage and carefully remove the fallen trees before the structure is pushed further toward the ocean. Living self-reliant in remote Alaska means sometimes you become the crew, the problem solver, and the cleanup team all in one day. This one got a little western at times… but that is real life off grid. 📍 Port Protection, Prince of Wales Island ⛵ Life aboard the Alaskan Gypsy 🌲 Self-reliant living in Alaska Need remote coastal work in Alaska?
