That Time I Built A Bridge!
🌉 That Time I Built a Bridge: Otto Kilcher's Homestead Construction Tale | Alaska: The Last Frontier 🏔️
Welcome to my channel! I'm Otto Kilcher, a familiar face from the captivating Discovery show, Alaska: The Last Frontier, where my family and I embrace the challenges of living off the grid in the Alaskan wilderness.
In this special video, join me as I reminisce about "That Time I Built a Bridge," a pivotal moment in our homestead's history. 20 years ago, we embarked on a remarkable journey of construction, crafting a bridge that has since become an integral part of our daily lives.
Through storytelling and archival footage, I'll take you on a nostalgic trip back in time, sharing the trials and triumphs of this ambitious project. From sourcing materials to overcoming logistical hurdles, this endeavor epitomized the spirit of innovation and perseverance that defines our way of life in the Last Frontier.
Join me in reliving the memories and lessons learned from this unforgettable chapter in our homestead's legacy.
Don't forget to subscribe for more tales and adventures from our homestead journey! Let's continue to build bridges, both literally and metaphorically, as we navigate the wilds of Alaska. 🌲🔨

Thank you, August, for filming Dad so we can enjoy his stories and ideas. I wish my Dad was on video before he passed away.

Sir as a propane truck driver this bridge is 100% better than any other homemade bridge I've ever seen.

@@otto_kilcher ❤ watching you All. I thought your family should continue your own show on KZread, since you did your own videos during “COViD”. Love the direction you are going. Hope the others start their own channels too!

So pleased to see you here, I've missed seeing you all!
If it wasn’t for discovery we’d have never seen you, but we knew there was more to the story. We are so excited to see you share your journey on YT! You’re inspiring to us all! We are creators too, not nearly as famous, but adventurous nonetheless. We live in northern BC! The last city before the Yukon ❤

Nice to meet ya
Otto is the man when it comes to go old fashioned ingenuity. One great man!!
Didn't know how much I missed you guys.
Free thinking, resourceful, problem solving and good old fashioned ingenuity with a positive result. All of these attributes are what the government lacks. Great bridge project Otto!
August, you probably already know how lucky you are to have this man as a father, a mentor, a teacher 💙 I for one, admire his wisdom greatly ❤ Otto for President!
I'm glad you and your dad are doing this! My entire family enjoyed watching the last frontier. One of the best shows on. I hope the rest of fhe family joins your new channel!
New subscriber. I’ve missed Alaska The Last Frontier, it was my favorite show. It’s great to see Otto on KZread.
I could watch Otto videos all day. He is a master craftsman and has stories for years I bet. I love this content. Please make more. Good job August.
Otto always impresses me with the things he can do and has done. August your one lucky man to have your dad to learn from.👍🥶
Very impressive. This is one of the things we never got to see in depth on the tv show.
Very impressive bridge you built Otto. Good filming August. Thank you. So good to see you guys again.
Keep these videos coming, Otto! Love seeing what you're up to!
Love your new channel. Hollywood has got to be hurting financially with all the quality channels on you tube. Thank you for the entertainment.
I could listen to Otto all day
It is so good to see you guys again
Holy Cow Otto. Thank you for sharing your story with us. That is a beautiful Bridge that you built.
America needs more men like Otto!
I am so happy that you have a KZread channel. I am loving the adventures so far!
I love that it used to be a truck scale. The Kilcher way
Otto we’d stay up all night watching the cams sometimes just staring at horses, we had a great group of people. Still friends with some now, some have passed so great to be able to watch you again.
Brilliant
Absolute legend Otto!
Very Impressed with the bridge, Otto,! Your Imaginenation keeps you young. Never lose that Otto. Hello to you and August!
Thank you for giving us Alaska back Otto and August. Have a wonderful Tuesday
So glad to see this channel!!! Really was missing seeing you all ….

This is great we took 40 flatbed semi trailer,cut all the wheels and stuff off bottom and pulled it across the old bridge and into place,removed old bridge and 30 years later it is in good shape
great channel for ollos stories nice to hear some history of the area!!!
Otto you are a real genius!!!
Great seeing you Otto great video😊👍🚜🚚
Nice to see you up and moving. I appreciate the new channel . Thank you!
ALWAYS LOVE WATCH'IN OTTO AND AUGUST THANKS FOR SHARE'IN .. GOD BLESS...!!!
This format is way better for viewers as it’s “ the real deal “ I’m sure the revenue isn’t better than discovery but it will be financially helpful soon I’m guessing as others find your channel. We’ve been picking rocks on our farm since 1843 here in NY along Lake Effect snow belt on Lake Ontario. Appreciate your families time and effort to bring us along very much. If you’re ever in NY come by and give #gigahank some scratches .
Hi Otto, my husband said, "Your papa, daddy would say you're my boy Otto." Be proud, kiddo ❤😊
Every impressive Otto, hope you’re all doing great in Alaska and glad to see you guys back again!!👍👍
Yes I have to agree with Otto, building a bridge is better then building a canyon! Great quote thank u August and Otto Good Day and God Bless
Good to see you two again, glad ur back ! Nice bridge..
Thanks, good to see you again. ✌🏻👊🏼
Great idea! glad I found your channel lots of helpfull info
Otto you're a man of invention and action.love this channel
Very happy your family started a channel love ottos stories and how innovative he is that bridge will last forever I my uncles have always been very mechanically inclined and innovative made every they got frome nothing one evan made a log lathe to make house logs both of my uncles went to Alaska to help build to oil pipe line with the military my older uncle passed away in November but he had the pleasure of meeting ottos father
Otto-you are such a keeper!!! ❤❤❤
That's a hefty looking bridge. It should last a long time. 😀😀👋👋💖💖
Otto is the man! Best neighbor someone could ask for. Ask Otto if he has any Bigfoot stories! Love the show.
You are phenomenal, Otto.
Awesome!!! I've really missed y'all Otto! Your daddy would be mighty proud!
I'm sure your dad would be very impressed with the kabota Otto 😅
Great job on the bridge. You have so many talents. Something that is lost on most people growing up today.
Wow sir that bridge is impressive. Thanks for sharing your experience and fixes with us.
I sure have missed watching the show, but so glad to have you tube to watch the goings on. Great idea August! Although I would love to see all the rest of the Kilchers
So happy to see you on You Tube! My husband and I really miss watching Alaska the Last Frontier! Miss seeing all the Kilchers💕💕
Great video!
All good!
One of the best thing to use to create a bridge is an old railroad flat car, it's built in different lengths up to 86', it's heavy and will last a long time, I've seen people build bridges with a single wide 50' flat car and double wide,

Love it Otto built one 😂
I love these new videos! Thanks so much for sharing. I was a big fan of ATLF and watched for years but I gotta say I'm really excited to now see these youtube videos coming out. You'll have so much more creative control. I know August has been honing his doc making skills for some time now -- excellent work my friend!
Awesome so cool to see all the projects and looking forward to seeing what's next. Maybe Charlotte will show her gardens
Well done on the bridge Otto and well done August for your video work!
I have built houses and such, but I would be tickled to say I built such a nice bridge! Thanks for sharing this motivation!
Great video, thanks for sharing
We are really enjoying the continuation of what was! To see the evaluation of your family’s homestead form your perspective is educational and informative. August’s coverage shows he learned a lot, safe travels🍻
