    It’s truly a blessing that you’re able to have your mom share this journey with you. Watching your videos gives me such a warm feeling inside.
    I am a retired, disabled black female in a small town in Mississippi and some of the prices of the plant based meat alternatives were the same price as here,; even the olive oil and some of the veggies.
    Hey, thanks for the idea about the sun lamp because I have chronic depression and now that the sun sets about 5:00 it creates havoc for me. God bless you and your mom. Take care. ❤️🙏🏼

      @@AdventureTimeLoui Sun lamps are great, but what really helped me get through the long dark winters up there was vitamin D3 tablets. Really helps with SAD ( Seasonally Affected Disorder ) I felt more cheerful immediately. Which is what your body lacks when you don't get enough sunshine...

    I just got back home from Anchorage. I lived in AK for years… upper north fly-in-out only (end of the Iditarod) and worked in outer remote villages. Best time ever! Even though I dealt with grizzlies and polar bears, I never faced so many bear situations as I did in Southeast AK. Don’t ever underestimate their intelligence or power. Please, always carry protection. Also, the short winter hours of sunlight never bothered me and I suppose I’m rare in that but I made sure I spent summers outside as much as possible. AK… top of the world, edge of the earth… worth every moment.

    I just love your Alaska videos! I'm in Southern California, and although we're blessed with sunshine and warm weather, some days my lil introvert heart just yearns for a cozy cabin more secluded in nature. I get to live vicariously through your videos lol. I'm sending you, your mom, William, and Lady lots of LOVE! 🥰❤️❤️❤️

    Another channel shared grocery store prices in remote Galena, AK & a case of bottled water was $41. That same case of water is $7 or $8 here in DC, but even that is double its original price. Everything is going up ⬆️ ~Great video on AK living!!🌟

    • @AdventureTimeLoui
      @AdventureTimeLoui  2 роки тому +3

      Wow yeah that’s SO EXPENSIVE. I need to see how much wage is here now too! My guess is a case would be around $20! 😅

    I took myself and fam to AK in 2018. I found exactly what you say to be accurate. Prices were not too bad unless you buy prepared food (restaurant stuff) or the cookies etc. I remember being amazed at the huge amount that has to be shipped up to Ak from the lower 48. But AK is abundant with food! Good quality food! We foraged blueberries at Denali .. what seemed like a limitless supply.

      Back in the 80s things were more expensive but people made more. With the growth of population wages have flattened and selling more volume has made buying power better.

    Love your emergency light. It looks like a little balloon. Prices of anything that you have to ship are expensive everywhere. I live in Southern California so citrus is cheaper. I agree with you that you just have to watch prices when you shop and stock up when you find things on sale. Happy Holidays.

    The beyond sausage over here in the hood in Chicago Is 8.99 As soon as I saw y'all price I was like damn they gave y'all the hood prices. I guess living in a food desert anywhere is gonna be expensive. It's a good thing you guys are learning about foraging... That might help on some of the costs. At least when the berries and mushrooms are in season. #Artisbluu
