Shane, first welcome to the site. Now, which Alaska do you wish to homestead? The state has several regions very different from each other, including a technical desert! You might want to check out WSI, which is listed in the schools here. Are you buying the land outright, or homesteading? Residents can acquire land this way, but there is a waiting list for land with road access. "Cabineering" is a custom up there. This is a fancy name for squatting. The people usually aren't found unless theres a fire. Alaska magazine is a treasure trove of information and resources.Homesteading was a popular movement in the 70s.There is a publisher, Rodale Press that put out many books, sadly in short runs. Mother Earth is the grandmother of the surviving magazines.These are just short thoughts on a big subject.
