    Great presentation, love you two for that. I was raised in Anchorage and am a survivor of the 64 earthquake. What a ride that was. Shoveled enough snow to last several life times. Traveled the entire state. It is so emence the land humbles you. Once ya experience Denali, Auroras, long days, long winters, long periods of darkness, deep sea fishing, flying with bush pilots, the land is in your blood forever. I left Alaska for other world adventures, but will never forget my life there.

    I live in interior Alaska...moved up 30 years from the lower-48. No sales tax, no state income tax, moderate property tax. We get 12 inches of precip per year most as snow. 2 seasons, winter and summer. Interior Alaska is great for gardening...tomatoes, zuchinni, brocolli, berries, etc. Excellent hunting, fishing, canoeing, rafting, hiking, biking, etc. No traffic jams and an international airport 12 minutes away. Free hunting and fishing license at the age of 60, property taxes reduced by $150,000 at age of 65 or disabled veteran. Too cold for road salt, so vehicles do not rust out in interior Alaska...common to see pickups from the 1980s-1990s driving around. No traffic...no stop signals the 360 miles from interior AK to Valdez, the 500 miles from interior to arctic ocean. for example.
    Our neighborhood is quiet with homes on 1-10 acres, yet friendly neighbors we know well and help each other out.
    Four Cons: mosquitoes, sometimes smoke from wildfires in summer
    short days of December, long winter.

      @@rogerdean5313 hey New England buddy - don't ever let a dream die!
      Took me over three decades but I made it... Everybody else is going to florida? Forget that.
      - I came over not too long ago from northern Maine and northern Vermont... (Bethlehem Irving was a pitstop)
      Landed on the peninsula, Cook inlet South Anchorage -
      This has been the easiest winter I've had - on cooke inlet. Icy, but a Big chill is being at - 15 -16 for a few nights here and there.
      Alaska is huge..in good weather summer, it would take 24 hours straight driving from the southern tip where there's a roads to get to the northernmost road in Alaska
      they got all kinds of weather .... inland, high elevation, coastal
      - it's strange coming from your area of the world actually living at sea level for the first time.
      it's colder in the daytime as the sun is up, and gets warmer as the sun goes down?
      I'm just getting used to the climate now - but I'm just saying hey - there's all kinds of weather much easier than where I come from in the Northeast -even though the cost of living seems higher if iPhone that's only if you want to live like suburban America.
      Bring what you want - heavy stuff, building supplies ... Generally the heavier something is, the higher in price it goes.
      The other thing - is if you're living outside of a borough, there's a lot of owner financing - you can throw up a dry cabin.. I took in my own firewood back in New England - down here in the peninsula it's not as cold, but they don't have hardwood - so you can carry armfuls of wood because it's much lighter.
      So you got everybody from wealthy people, those who live in Juneau where you can only get there by flying in... People who live across Cook inlet and use water taxis...
      you don't go out to the grocery store nearly as often - you stock up in the stores pretty much accommodate their sales that way.
      they're actually certain things that they sell in bulk here that I couldn't get back East - so it comes out cheaper for me here... Depends on what you want, they let locals hunt and fish for their own... They encourage it.
      I've been staring at Alaska for over four decades... Reading on it, studying the climate, the economy - just history and whatnot over the years...
      and here I am....
      I was suffocating in the Northeast - I kept having to go further out but the code enforcement and liberals came in... Then I was going to head to the Carolinas and Tennessee same thing happened there....
      but those places one so far - first time I've gone through winter where you really don't have to plow all the time - everybody doesn't own a plow truck cuz you don't always need it.
      but where I'm going to build, I'm going to need my own plow truck - that's the great thing about Alaska study it up and down, including elevations.
      Show up with resources and cash, lots of studded tires, generators, heavy tools, fencing, chainsaws, ATVs, sleds, & real subzero clothing. You can take rifles & shotguns through the border. Do the paperwork & bring 'em.
      there are RV parks open year-round - you can live in an RV until you get settled...
      There's a 31 ft RV in Homer asking $1000.
      Money? More expensive?
      They have lifelong Z plates for your car...
      No income tax
      There's nobody to impress here if you don't want to -
      you're not constrained by a lot of the same micro management you're feeling there.
      And that costs less here.
      Independence, self-reliance, you carry 911 on your hip.
      And you're good to your neighbors.
      Don't ever forget your state motto even though it seems most folks have - live for your die!
      I hope you choose to live free... Hang on to your dream. Keep it alive

    Thanks for the great video!

They were having a record heat wave - temps. in the 80's! Had a very memorable trip in a 26' Ford motorhome with 5 of us + the dog. Visited Fairbanks, Anchorage, Juneau & Ketchikan on the inside passage ferry trip to Vancouver, BC. The fishing is unbelievable! We caught lake trout in Rock Lake & Ptarmagin Lake, Northern Pike in Minnow Flats, Pink Salmon in Valdez & King Salmon on the Kenai river...just amazing. It was a little tough to sleep in the near 24hr daylight, but we definitely got the most out of our day as do the local work crews! Can't wait to return! Would love to visit in the Winter!

We have pedophiles controlling the White House.

      I've asked for help from, law enforcement, the FBI, and the military. None seem interested in protecting the children or finding justice.

Lived off the grid for years, but got kinda "long in the tooth" to live off the grid any more. So I sold out and moved to the southland. Now in the rural hills of Tennessee. Yes, I miss Alaska, always will, but the cold finally got to me. Did you mention the skeeters? Enjoy the state and everything it offers. I kept my boat in the harbor for many years.

    Very interesting - thank you. In the late 1960s, when I was in the Marines, I spent a year on the island of Adak. (There was a Naval Air Station there at the time.) However, I would not be bold enough to say that qualifies me to be a "sourdough". We do enjoy occasional brief visits, but overall we remain firmly rooted in the Lower 48. Also, I am originally from England, so that and the year on Adak makes me very familiar with the effect of latitude on the varying amount of daylight over the year.

I love no darkness and I could be up and go buy something to eat and so peaceful. We moved here as a military family and I live here since 2010 and I love it. In summer I will drive to fairbanks to visit some friends and bring them some foods from the city and here in Alaska not the city we're so peaceful and quiet I went to different states but I really didn't feel a good vibes of life and it's really hot in lower 48 and it's burning skin so I came back here in Alaska my home.

They carry guns, but somehow it’s more civil than it would be if there were that many guns in any major lower 49 city. ANC most of all, you never forget where you are. Place influences everything-what you eat, how you move, how you think, everything, is just different because we’re in Alaska now. It’s great.
