**AITA for laughing at the Alaska guy who built a $200,000 off-grid dream cabin, only for a pack of bored moose to literally *swallow* his solar panels and use his generator as a scratching post, leaving him to freeze in the dark while streaming "The Revenant" on a dying laptop for heat?**
**TL;DR:** Guy moves to "Alaskan wilderness" for "true solitude," gets property tax bill and an emergency visit from a state biologist who just texts him a single cowboy hat emoji.
**Full story:** Reddit, I (M, 32, "Entrepreneurial Spirit") moved from Austin to the Kenai Peninsula because I was tired of "fake grifters." Bought 40 acres, built a "log cabin from a kit" on a loan. Installed a $50k solar array because "big energy is a scam." Fast forward to winter.
A moose, unimpressed with my entire aesthetic, has convinced its extended family to treat my inverter like a salt lick. My entire electrical system is now chewed wiring and broken glass. My "bear-proof" generator has been knocked over and is currently running with a pine cone jammed in the exhaust, creating a sound like a dying tractor with a brony fetish.
I'm powering my satellite internet with a crank-powered flashlight I bought at a gas station. I posted on the Alaska Homesteaders Facebook group asking for help. The only reply was a zoomed-in photo of my cabin's foundation (which I did not dig deep enough) with the caption: "You have 60 days to fix this or the state takes it back." The moderator then banned me for "performative destitution."
**So, AITA for wanting to sue the moose for emotional distress and calling the state biologist a "traitor to the Last Frontier"? I feel like I'm the only one who values a non-corporate lifestyle.**
