This Off-Grid Alaska Cabin Shifted Off Its Foundation… We Fixed It

We came out to Port Protection thinking we’d help with storm cleanup… and found a cabin with two full trees on top of it. The impact didn’t just damage the structure. It twisted the cabin off its foundation. What followed was weeks of problem-solving with limited materials, real conditions, and a lot of figuring it out as we went. In this video, we’re wrapping up this phase of the project, stabilizing the foundation and getting things to a point where we can leave it safely for now. Living in remote Alaska means you don’t always get perfect solutions. You get what’s there… and you make it work. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Cabin damage overview 00:30 What happened 01:30 How we got involved 02:30 Removing the trees 04:00 Foundation issues 06:00 Building new supports 09:00 Working with what we had 12:00 Final walkthrough 15:00 Leaving the cabin
