Welcome to AKCabin.com! This is the story about how I bought land using just cash and built my own cabin in Alaska, using mostly only hand tools.

My name is Shane, and I moved to Alaska from Colorado in 2014. The year before, I had purchased some land from the State of Alaska that was located in a remote area called Shell Lake. At the time I didn’t know what I was getting myself into, but it would soon prove to be the adventure of a lifetime.

Come with me on a journey where I will share with you the story of my adventure moving to Alaska and building my own cabin.

Thanks for reading!

Shane
