    Description

    This is a sloped strip on a pile of shale rocks. In no wind conditions it is preferable to land uphill and to the North, but with wind and good brakes this strip can be landed downhill no problem. Beware of downdrafts on approach. The edge of the strip immediately drops off in a 150 foot cliff face.



    This is an old gold mining strip. The mine compound is loacted across the valley in a joining canyon. There is an abandoned cabin and some equipment down there. It's a good 1.5 mile hike across various terrain. There are bears in the vicinity so be sure you have protection if you're going to hike.

    • From Firecamp: Watch as Chalkyitsik Residents Work at the Airstrip to Support Fire Crews

      From Firecamp: Watch as Chalkyitsik Residents Work at the Airstrip to Support Fire Crews

      In this short video several local Chalkyitsik residents construct hundreds of 5 gallon fresh stackable and easy to transport water containers known as “cubitainers", which all firefighters refer to as “cubees”. Fire crews rely on significant quantities of fresh water to maintain critical levels of hydration needed during a 16 hour shift working with tools and chainsaws in the heat of the long Alaskan days. It takes everyone working together to keep the supply chain moving to the front lines where fire crews continue to increase containment through mopping up the tundra and cutting trees that could compromise the established firelines. Of the 58 full time Chalykitsit village residents, between 15 and 20 are working as a key part of the logistical support for fire suppression efforts.

      The forward operating base for the Chalykitsit Complex is located in the remote Gwich’in village of Chalkyitsik. This village is situated on the banks of the Draanjik River and is in a roadless area 50 miles east of Fort Yukon, Alaska. Jobs range from boat and ATV operators to camp cooks. This robust and well coordinated logistical support crew based at the airstrip works throughout the day on the numerous tasks that keep the supply chain to and from the front lines moving smoothly. The fiber tape is used to ensure that the plastic 5 gallon fresh water jugs have a cardboard board that is able to be stacked, loaded and unloaded onto boats and helicopters, and carried by fire crews down the fireline and to their remote camps. Once the cubees are emptied, they are backhauled and in certain cases can be refilled. Fresh and safe water is so critical to the success of firefighters on the front lines that great attention is taken to ensure that the water sources are treated. The official village water source at the Chalkyitsik washateria is being used to fill the cubees, saving enormous amounts of cargo weight and reducing costs.

    • 6,203 Acres - Hardin County Ranch

      6,203 Acres - Hardin County Ranch

      6,203.31 +/- Acres Tennessee
      Highly improved recreational ranch with private airfield, excellent interior roads, live streams, timber, and a large abundance of wildlife. Paved road access and some paved private interior roads. Estimated over $1,000,000 spent in private ranch road network.

      Improvements:
      4,600’ x 200’+/- airstrip with a control tower and two hangars.
      Two very nice metal insulated hangars – each one is 3,500 +/- square feet.
      Living quarters are comprised of four nicer modular homes.
      Large double- winged equipment shed with central insulated shop and office quarters.
      Fiber optic line had been laid to the interior of the ranch.
      4 large, high- elevation observation tower stations scattered throughout the ranch provide magnificent views of both landscape and wildlife.

      Interior Roads:
      Over 10.5 miles of engineered high- grade all- weather private roads, some of which are paved. Many more miles of natural base interior roads traverse off the main roads, completing a network to which very few other ranches would compare. With no public roads/access through the heart of the ranch, this provides a very unique, large private setting.

      Ranch Amenities:
      Water is in abundance with several ponds and streams, including some live streams. The topographic changes throughout the ranch provide many conducive lake site potentials. Water wells provide water to the newer structures. Elevation changes from the peaks of many large hills overlooking vast areas down to numerous creek bottoms. Although there are large draws and big hills, the topsoil is considerably good throughout the elevation changes, which provides excellent growth across the ranch.

      Wildlife:
      Hunting has not been allowed on this ranch for many years. Such a large contiguous block of desirable natural habitat for wildlife without historical hunting pressure is very hard to find. Wildlife is easily viewed from vehicles while driving around the ranch. Morning and evening daylight hours produce consistent viewing of deer and turkey out in the roads. As an example, all the pictures and video of deer where taken one evening over approximately an hour, from a vehicle, while on the ranch. Although wooded now, there are many acres of historical fields on the ranch that could be put back to use for wildlife or commercial farming.

      Nearby Attractions:
      Conveniently located only 9 miles from Savannah, TN, being the largest town on the Tennessee River. Among many other attributes, Savannah also includes shopping and an airport adequate for larger private jets. Pickwick Landing Dam on the Tennessee River and the renowned Pickwick Lake are minutes in drive time at a distance of 15 miles from the ranch. Pickwick Lake is known for its water sport recreational usages, as well as excellent fishing. Approximate 2-hour drive from either Nashville or Memphis, TN, provide commercial airlines.

      Summary:
      Ranches of this size and quality with this many attributes are historically limited in availability. When considering this in connection with the realistic asking price of only $1,600 per acre, this ranch rises to the top of quality, hard assets that make financial sense to own and enjoy at the same time.
