Something I found that is amazing!

Short term a wooden exterior might be a conversation piece. Long term? No.

Super COOL! And in AK, nonetheless! Looks pretty well thought out and very cozy.
If I was pickin sht with the chickens, I'd say the residential windows (flying rocks) and wood siding are not very conducive to the weather and conditions that I haven't seen in his videos. The slush and mud/dirt through the shoulder seasons and summer would make a mess of it.
Guess a few good coats of stain would seal 'er up pretty well.

I liked it. It made me cold watching it. What happens when he finds a girlfriend? LOL Everything he needs though...

Also wood exterior houses have collapsed in earthquakes. Now set a glass of water on your hood, drive down a smooth street.

Battery outside? -- in Alaska? -- in winter?

Well all camper batieries are out side and vented that are wet cells ....but AGM or litium is another topic. It just looked like this guy went a ways to make something that we all know won't last forever but... it is where we all want to be...on your porch tipping one back....whatever your beverage. A very thoughtful build.
