Скачать или смотреть Starting Our Fish Wheel Build | Subsistence Homesteading in Remote Alaska

This week we picked up a crucial part to our fish wheel build.

Where our off-grid homestead is located in Alaska, most people use fish wheels to get their years supply of salmon. This differs from a personal use fishery using rod and reel, or a personal use dipnet. Fish wheels are used by subsistence homesteaders and people who live in rural or remote Alaska; it is for the harvest of salmon as a main source of food for the coming year.

This is our first time building, launching and fishing a wheel. With one part down, the next job will be to finish the wheel by lightening it up a bit, and building some floats. Our goal is to get this in the river this season, and more salmon put away for the winter to come.

'Til next week,
-Dennis, Amy & Lena
