We staked 20 acres in the middle of a kazillion acres of public remote land a few years back. Now have our log cabin set up.
Near the base of Mt Denali . I fly out for moose hunting season. Lots of wolves around. I like to play with trapping a bit as we usually have a few lynx around also.
I called this 58" non typical in for our son. Man was that fun.

That's pretty awesome. How remote is it? I'm trying to imagine the amount of work and coordination it takes to get all the materials there.

Luckily it was so cold everything had been frozen for a while, and that was the cleanest vault toilet I think Ive ever seen in my life. When its gonna be that cold at night and youre not in a hot tent, you better just eat.

My brothers were on a late season mule deer hunt in Colorado and were road-scouting when they encountered an outhouse set up on state property to the side of the forest road. Was very cold and had been for weeks. One brother opened the outhouse door and encountered a volcano of poo. Lime does not work at such cold temps so at some point users of the facility hopped up above the toilet seat but at some point only the tallest could straddle Mount Poo. No picture so a chance this is a story from a less than credible narrator.

hh. It's a fly in camping the non frozen months. And we use snogos in the winter. I'll try n give you a taste.
It was a tremendous amount of work. Over 60,000 pounds of freight. Took 4-6 years just to get the logs and other cabin building supplies there. Another year to assemble everything.
I had to know exactly what I wanted for building supplies and add a bunch more. My beautiful wife is my weak spot. I want things nice. And she wants to possibly move out there. She can't walk much I installed a incinerator toilet. And have a sand point well started in the kitchen cabinets. Just need to finish pounding the pipe in and hopefully have running potable water at the kitchen sink. We have been using a MSR water purifying pump and drink water from the pond out front or the creek from it.
Logistics, organizing a load of freight. Lumber, tools. Load all on to the 18' trailer, couple snogos, freight sleds. Drive for a couple hours. Unload the snogos hook up multiple freight sleds, 500-1000 pounds in each sled. Usually a couple sleds in train.
Then it starts to get interesting. My favorite part. The snogo trail we use goes a couple miles and then it's the trail to our place. Usually not too bad but always ready. Snow gets 10 plus foot deep. Overflow, fall into creeks 10 foot down that are invisible to see.
Machines break, and I've had to look into my beautiful wifes eyes and let her know that she has to sit in the middle of nowhere Alaska by herself, minimal gear. While I have to walk or somehow go gets parts. Probably done this 4-5 times so she's getting used to it. This is the real deal stuff. No phones or GPS. Bears, moose, lots of wolves, misqtoes n such. No TV show or anyone to help Tough chick n pretty tooooo.
Fly in in the summer is usually less work. I get dropped off on an uninhabited lake and hike 2 miles north to the cabin. Absolutely my most favorite moment in my outdoors life. And watching the 185 on floats break the water as it lifts off and disappears.
Just me n all wild Alaska has to offer. I can look up n see Mt Denali in front. And the rest of the Alaskan range. Rugged Talkeetna mts to the east. We're at foothills of Mt Denali. I've never experienced anything like this. I am confident in my skills and feel like I'm in a different world because I am. No more clocks, electronics in summer it's always light out anyway. And time is a component of life that is not in tune with this world. Life happens as it does.
Yeah I've spent 1000s of hours on planning. But having a full load of freight, its dark out, snogos running smoothly, cold. The northern lights dancing above. I enjoy stopping out on the open muskeg tundra. Turn everything off. Lay back on my sled n just feel great about life. I'm living my dream, nobody else's. A little pull of whiskey while I watch the colors flowing across the sky warms my senses n feels good. Just me n the world.
Really not sure how to answer your question. 20 plus years of work, using every spare moment you have. Just so I can have a place for me and my family. To always have a part of a very special place.
Hey I wanted a cabin in the bush and went out in 30-40 below weather n lots of snow for many days to find this spot. Now I can head out for a month and not have to worry about anything.
And when my beautiful wife comes out with me for a few weeks. Well yeee haaaah life's great
