Ever wonder what it would be like to live in a tiny cabin in the middle of the woods in Alaska? To live without many modern amenities, which means going to the outhouse in -30F temps? To have to travel 2 hours to go to Walmart, Home Depot or out to eat in the winter? There are tradeoffs to these sacrifices, such as experiencing the Northern Lights and enjoying 20 hours of daylight meaning you can go for a hike at 10pm!

This “Life in the Last Frontier” presentation will answer all your burning questions about surviving winter darkness, layering for extreme temperatures, living with wildlife, outhouse etiquette, and other everyday adventures in the far north. You will feel part of this unique life after getting an insider’s glimpse into why people settle, and stay, in remote Alaska!

Patrice and Justin La Vigne live in a dry cabin outside of Denali National Park in Alaska. The couple has lived in 14 states and worked on the road as nomads around the “lower 48” for 10 years, ultimately deciding Alaska was their forever home. They are hiking guides, environmental educators and freelance writers, whose work has been featured in Backpacker, Outside, OutdoorLife, Alaska Magazine and more. Patrice is also the author of Between Each Step: A Married Couple’s Thru Hike on New Zealand’s Te Araroa. They also have worked for Leave No Trace as traveling trainers. Collectively, they have hiked more than 12,000 miles and are close to their goal of visiting all the National Parks and climbing all the state high points.
