Can a person still move to Alaska and build a cabin?

Can a person with modest means, still buy a moderate size piece of land near Anchorage, and build a house or a cabin, without being restricted by build time-frame restrictions and land use restrictions? And can you still live mostly off of the land and with a low paying job to supplement what the land cannot provide? Providing, of course that the rigors of life in alaska are well understood and planned for. Also can one legally live in a travel trailer on their own land while building a house, while not under any time restrictions? Here in most of the lower 48 states, its illegal to do this, or at best its legal only based on time restraints, i.e. you have to build a house within a year etc. But what if it takes me 5 years to build the house I want a little at a time?

Thanks.

    Short answer, Yes you can. I have no idea where you heard you cant live on your own land in a travel trailer. A lot of people do just that in the south.

    Write a check to Sarah Palin for $100,000 and you can do what you want. Money talks.

    No thanks, freezing my ass off just to save money is not my idea of living.
