You got me with the people density, low taxes and amazing scenery. I'm sold.
@Last man Walking You must be a Dem. The answer to everything is always more taxes.
@Last man Walking I can tell you are a liberal. In the history of mankind there has never been any pile of money that a liberal did not want to redistribute(aka steal)…ever. 😂
@Last man Walking Why not stop issuing the PFD, have the state invest the money and use the yearly returns to backfill the state budget?
@@edhcb9359 yup taxation is theft
@@deepdeception7953 yep
And for women looking for a husband…”the odds are good but the goods are odd”.

most man in Alaska are drunks and drug addicts even if they working.
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.
You’re correct, Alaska is always in your blood.
Thanks for sharing these amazing experiences from Alaska !! I hope my virtual walk videos from USA, will help your viewers with enlacing their walk experience ! New Videos will be updated each week !! 😍
HUMAN APE Well about the narration! It felt like they were talking to a class of grade 2 students very artificial/ mechanical Just wished they would converse the same manner in which they do every day in every other social settings Lol!
such a beautiful expression indeed, left for the other world adventures
i hope you'll do fine in your life
i gotta see Alaska sometime soon!
I agree - good report. I lived in Alaska for 40 years.
As a Texan I was like oh please when I heard “the biggest state in the US” but when he put Alaska over the US mainland map I was like okay I better stfu 😂
ua-cam.com/video/xcMNMSwxV40/v-deo.html
Yeah but over 95% of the state is not accessible by roads. Im from Texas and I lived in Anchorage, fairbanks , and Sitka for about 6 years. Alaska is far from the only state with no income tax . Texas and Tennessee do as well and there is a few others.
Cute little state
The joke that I heard when I was stationed at Fort Wainwright(and being from Texas) was "How do you piss off a Texan?" "You tell him that if they split AK in half, Texas would be the third largest state."
If they divided AK in half, Texas would be the third largest state!
4th gen. Alaskan born in Juneau 1939, mom born Knik 1914. What an experience when I look back. Wouldn't want anything else. Girdwood for 40 years then retired to Paradise, CA.
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.
That doesnt sound so bad. I've been contemplating moving to Alaska for years,but as Ive gotten older,it's something I'm strongly considering . Looks so peaceful and serene,especially for my dog.
What do you mean by property taxes reduced by 150,000 at age 65 or disabled veteran? Surely you’re property taxes are no more than a couple thousand dollars a year. So where is the 150,000 coming from?
@@Writerdust
Yeah his property taxes are reduced buy a $150, 000 $ he must own all of fairbanks and anchorage. , just a typo ., probably.?
Missy
Property taxes reduced by $150000 ,wtf , trump doesn’t even pay that much … 😮 😅
Missy
U live in alabama with ur parents and watch National Geographic.. ?
Been here 20 years. Love it. Know a lot of people that moved here and then left because they couldn't handle the cold and 6-7 months of snow.
It’s definitely not for everyone, but we love it.
Maybe not the 6 months of cold wet rain and ice in Seward.....
Been up here since 2005, definitely dented a rim or two on some potholes
I would assume not all Alaska gets too cold. I would think Anchorage is warmer then Fairbanks.. I live in N.H. It’s always been a dream to move to Alaska, sadly, it’s too expensive
Hey I want to move there but me being african I do t know how ppl will accept me and my son.
@@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
Alaska is my home. Born and raised. Searching videos today on home. You paint a good and accurate picture here. Thank you.
Awesome! Thank you!
I remember running in Anchorage at 5am in the Army and shocked how my snot froze in my nose. That, my friend, is cold. Lol
Really excuse me I am eating here! Frozen snot is not in my menu!
😂🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅
@@cherrygarcia1 LOL
Same thing happened to me as a kid in Anchorage. Woke up with my whole nose sealed solid, and pulled out a perfect casting of my inner nostrils that was about an inch and a half deep. Talk about brain-freeze
I am 54 years old. I lived in Faibanks from 11 to 21 years old. The one good thing about Alaska I liked was the "Good Semeritan Law." I dont think anyone ever got suid over it, but I remember so many times we were helped by strangers when it was -40 or colder and if we saw a stuck or broken down car we would always help out.
Been here 13 years and love it! This was our last duty station and I can honestly say that this is truly God’s country!
Wow when I saw Alaska laid over the whole country that blew my mind!
Crazy isn’t it?
A gent from Alaska moved to Texas and suffered a bit of culture shock. On night he took a bit of grief in a 'ShitKicker' bar.
"Cowboy better back off or else Alaska will split in half and make Texas the third largest state!" He didn't pay for beers for weeks after that.
I am surprised that most people don't have any clue how big we are. Lol
They don't teach that anymore. I was taught that in elementary school. This is back in the early 80's. It's Alaska, Texas and California when it comes to size.
@@massey4business- Exactly, I'm the same generation as you are.
Sitting in a cabin hearing the howl of the wilderbeast and wind ,the northern lights sparkling the sky ,with cups of hot coco and a warn fireplace , HEAVENNNN !!
YES
😌
🙏💕
Especially after the day of cleaning out the fireplace, hauling wood, and clearing new snow. Also getting your cocoa supply from the store in your studded tire vehicle. You keep the engine block plugged in to electricity so it will start in the freezing weather. Just not for me anymore.
I Spent all my summers in Alaska. Best memories of my life. My dad would take the summer off or camps would close in Kodiak for summer if muddy and we went camping, mining, quading and generally exploring all over. I love that my dad did this with me. He said it was to keep me out of trouble in teh summers since my parents were divorced and my mom worked. It worked. RIP dad. 💕 Im a PA. May e I should come back!
I’ll be done with nursing school in December. I currently have lived in Tampa Fl for nearly 20 years (I’m 30 now) but grew up in Asheville, NC. I miss the mountains and the cold winters. I’ve felt a calling to Alaska lately, and if they pay for student loans and relocation for new grads, I’m all in.
Congratulations.
Thank you guys! Very helpful. Stay safe. ❤️
I have lived in AK for 21 years and have loved almost every minute. Now that I am a recent widow, I look forward to getting back to the lower 48, (Somewhere in the western states except CA. ) to be nearer to family.
@@markaralvin5545 troll
you lookin for a boyfriend cutie?
Actually CA is the best place to come to weather wise
@@Viral__TV Sorry, I have lived in CA. Born and raised & lived there 45 years in Central valley. No doubt about the weather, I love it. but I will never return full time. The politics suck. I'll continue to visit friends and family but a resident? Nope!
@@michaelmarte6629 no thanks.
One of the best descriptions I've seen of real life in AK. Well done!. I grew up from age 8 to 18 ('74 to '84) and now snow bird every winter to (almost) always return for summer in Sterling. Most of my family is Alaskan going back generations.
I had just gratuated from high school in Anchorage in 1970 when the oil pipeline was approved. That is when Anchorage really started growing. New buildings and businesses went up almost overnight. I had so many friends who worked up North and became rich. They all bought houses out in Wasilla. It was an exciting time .
Wow awesome video and info! AK it’s so majestic! Love the spaces and the nature! Thank you for everything 🤗 - Greetings from South Florida🤗
You both did a very good job. This was very informative and educational. Thank you for sharing.
Loved it for thirty years. Now I’m in the South and loving sunshine and warmth
Thanks for the great video! Spent 3 weeks vacation in Alaska in summer of 1986 with my family, drove straight to AK through Canada from CT (8 days) the day after I graduated HS. 7 week adventure in total. 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!
Love this post. It's honest, genuine and very refreshing compared to the majority of videos online that addle your brains these days!
These two are an example of good neighbors in Alaska, I’m sure. I appreciate their excellent job of sharing the pros and cons of that great state.
Had to come back and watch this again. You both make me feel like moving!
Great information. I learned so much. Thank you both!
I have friends that live in Wasilla. Been there a few times. I love the outdoors. A simple house with a full cement poured basement. A nice sized garden plus a few animals.
“You don’t leave Anchorage without a full tank of fuel” PFFFT, you don’t leave anywhere without a full tank of fuel, lol
The point was that driving in/around Anchorage is like being in any other biggish city. But you must plan to be self-sufficient as soon as you venture outside of "Los Anchorage"
@@jeffeverde1 I was stationed at FT Wainwright in Fairbanks, I was just saying anything out of town in Alaska is potentially deadly if you are not prepared.
@@tyruskelebon6917 I'm homeless for four years thanks to corruption in government I discovered while on the school board in Port Wing Wisconsin. Children were being trafficked, abused and murdered. I will not be quiet until justice is found for the victims. I've been beaten, raped and robbed more times than I can count, including by law enforcement working for child trafficking slime. Our government recently gave the Vatican 3 billion dollars. We have pedophiles controlling the White House.
I'll take my chances with the wild life. I'd rather be a meal for the wild life than abused and murdered by soulless, heartless perverts.
My son was abused and has been prostituting for men. I haven't seen him in 4 years. My ex Konrad Gaugler is Swiss and dealing drugs, guns and humans. He molested my son and many others, killing some. He attemped to kill me for trying to leave.
I've asked for help from, law enforcement, the FBI, and the military. None seem interested in protecting the children or finding justice.
I pray they get what they deserve. I choose not to live in a society where pedophiles are protected and children are MURDERED.
The United States is run by cartels, gangs, and mafias. I do not consent.
@@christinecallanan8389 seriously? We were just talking about how dangerous it was to travel in Alaska if not prepared. Not about somehow uncovering government conspiracy and corruption while on a school board of a town with less than 200 people.
@@tyruskelebon6917 children were MURDERED there and no doubt STILL are. My son is being trafficked and I haven't seen him for 4 years..... you're right, we should just ignore all that and talk about something else...... you're definitely not part of the solution. Don't have children. You'd never protect them, THAT IS OBVIOUS.
Fantastic video! I enjoyed listening to you both and watching this. Cheers!
Thank you so much for making this beautiful video. Very informative.
Very useful insights. Thank you for sharing this. I look forward to the rest of the series!
AK is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been in my life...it’s absolutely stunning!
You should visit New Zealand. Some of the Lord of the Rings footage was filmed, I believe, on the South Island. Those mountains would be something to behold for sure!!
Seward is such a nice place, I love the aquarium and glacier nearby!
Thanks for the video. Learned some things. I enjoyed it.
Outstanding informative video! Thank you.
Great video! I love how you two made it so simple and yet very informative.
What a great video! You two are so friendly! It felt like we sat and had coffee together.☺️
Thanks. That’s the idea!
Thank you for putting this together
Good info great job
Very interesting subjects. Thank you!
Maybe but sitting on my deck watching the aurora and listening to the wolves singing to me that would be heaven
You know nothing about me my blood never runs cold I am a very violent sociopath I fear nothing
I know about wild animals I was raised on a farm and have dealt with animals a lot bigger and stronger and meaner than wolves I was attacked by a pack of coy dogs once I shot and killed 11 of the 15 animals the police thanked me for solving a very dangerous problem for them
I also met a lone wolf once and my best friend can testify that he saw me chasing said wolf trying to play with it
I just really love dogs to me having a wolf of my own would be the ultimate dog and I know not even a bear will mess with wolves 🐺 which is why when I get to Alaska I hope to rescue a couple of lone wolves at some point one male and one female and let them start their own pack on my homestead
@@michealdraconis6179 Ok, Karen, playtime is over Wolf boy.
Although I've never been to Alaska, I have spent a fair bit of time in northern Alberta. The amazing twilight and the low on the horizon sun were the things I noticed most.
that is actually peaty far south.
What a great Alaskan overview. You two rock!!
First time watched your video and loved it. Simple and to the point. Keep up the good work. Thanks
Fantastic info guys all the best from Yorkshire.
I didn’t think this video was going to be good at first, but y’all started pulling out all this good info and had me hooked! Informative! Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@outliersoverland hello from washington state… does your town seward and anchorage also have problems with mosquitoes 🦟 like fairbanks does ? what about eagle river ? im interested to know , happy new year to both of you and stay safe and warm in seward yourself
@darrenfike924 in the concrete jungle parts of Anchorage there’s minimal mosquitoes.
If you’re close to the water in Seward there’s minimal mosquitoes.
If you find a forest or swamp anywhere in the north country there will be mosquitoes.
There’s also no see ums, white socks, and biting black flies in Alaska.
I like your detailed introduction about Alaska! :) Cool!!! I will head there next month.
Very informative video! Thanks for posting.
Great video, thanks! Sounds like a fascinating lifestyle.
Thank you!
Of course everyone is armed, you're part of the food chain, and not necessarily at the top
With the gun you're at the top.
LOL they live in Seward. Not in Kotz.
@@samhouston5217 no animals there?? Wow, I did not know that. 🤔😮
@@gregwatruba4541 YOU said there are no animals there? I don't believe you. But certainly not in the wilderness either.
I agree with, "at the top of the food chain with a gun," comment. Seward is on the road system, doesn't mean they don't have "critters," down there though... just not out in the bush was all I was saying.
Wow, the scenery and animals you guys are filming are top notch! Beautiful! Thank you!
Thanks guys for the great details!
Hey there! Watched all 3 videos....well done and very informative! You 2 are adorable!! Keep up the great work and be safe! Thanks!
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed this series.
Enjoyed this one very much! Keep em comin !!!
Thanks Glenn!
Thank you so much for this information !!!
thanks for the tips guys! great video. well done
Kids, I like your video, thanks for being honest. I lived in Alaska for 55 years. From Ketchikan to Nome to Fairbanks, Juneau, Palmer, Anchorage, and Wasilla. 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. Stay safe, retired ol ron
Yes Ron I beleive I might of seen you on a TV show once or Mabie twice don't blame you the cold brr brr brr.
excellent video, we were in alaska in june 2019 and loved it, we were in the north and it was light all night long. we will come back and see more because it is so beautiful, thanks for all your great videos we love you kids
Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed Alaska.
Love the information, thank you for sharing.
Very informative. Thank you. I have always been and outdoor guy. Doing a cruise to Alaska this year to check one off the bucket list. Hopefully I can return again after this year.
This seems to such a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
awesome and packed with good info!
Thanks. Glad you liked it.
Great video! Thanks for the pointers
Totally love the honesty in this video. Very informative!
Thanks. There’s two others like it.

Thank you for not having over bearing music. I keep watching because of that fact.
When people play stupid music on their channels I turn it off and go to the next one
I just got back from visiting ANCHORAGE a few days ago, and I was absolutely amazed by the winter wonderland. However, I did not realize just how much basic food items cost! I paid $1.50 for one banana, and at some restaurants a side of fries cost $8 dollars.. and you don’t even get a full potato! Alaska is very beautiful though! Thank you for providing us with this information! 😃
I went on vacation to Alaska in the summer of 2013. Spent June through August. Would go back in a heartbeat!
Excellent video, I lived in Anchorage and Kenai for almost 4 years in the mid 1970s, my daughter was born in Soldotna in Feb 1975! Your video makes want to come again! Your straight explanations are real and with real style! I fished, I hunted, I gold panned, and hiked near Dall Sheep and mountain goats, I skied at Alyeska! Wow,I think the Kenai Peninsula is one of the most beautiful places on earth! Thank you two for such a great video! Thank you!
Omg i just loved this couple. Im brazilian living in Australia learning english and you both speak so amazing understandable english. Im gonna shAre your channel with all my students friends
It truly is gorgeous and breathtaking up here in Alaska. It's so peaceful and quiet.😀
I really enjoy your channel!!! It is quite informative and very enjoyable!!!
I was born and raised an Oregonian. I just happened upon your video here and you guys are awesome. You did a great great video explaining how things are there with the most important points in Alaska. Thank you I appreciate it you guys are awesome I am going to follow you. I used to think no way would I ever go to Alaska but I don't know in my old age I wouldn't mind seeing it now you guys keep it up you're doing a great thank you for sharing!
Long time subscriber but first time commenting. I really enjoyed this one. Very interesting topic and I learned many things I wasn’t aware of.
Thank. That means a lot.
Thank you for that information on living in Alaska.
You’re very welcome.
A very organized presentation and very informative; I enjoyed it.
Guys, I loved all your orientations, wow what talent to communite so much in well elaborated
I was looking for information about moving to Alaska I’m from New York and this was the best video and also complete!
Thanks. Happy to help.
Good luck on your move.
In 2015 a new yorker moved up to live in the wild after watching tv shows. He came up in summer and was rescued 3 weeks later up north on the yukon river. Some up here never leave the city. One thing you should consider is not being able to tolerate cold weather but you should love it.
@Artoria Pendragon what do you mean by that?
Alaska is a beautiful state, wished can visit there. Thank you for bringing out some facts to improve this nation.
Im moving to Seward in 3 weeks, thanks for your video!
New subscriber !! Amazing video 👏👏👏👏👏
It's funny how family cultures differ. In my family, Alaska is the big dream. My brother and I haven't been yet, but my dad went with his grandpa to hunt caribou when he was in his 20s. The rack hung in our family room my whole life. I always used to tell my friends that my goal was to visit 49 states and then go to Alaska on my honeymoon. They thought I was crazy.
Wow really
Nice I hope will visit and reside one day , my question is wasilla is part of usa or Canada 🇨🇦
I was there last March & again just last week.
So cool.
Hope will find wife how want marry forever I’m 37 old single man no kids want love forever real relationship
Nice, I enjoyed this. Down here in south east AK, we have some extra unique challenges. Like only being able to come in by 737 most of the time and having to ship vehicles up on barges, and then not being able to drive to neighboring communities
Interesting information. Thanks for making it.
You guys did a good job! I will share with our new recruits. Gunalcheesh!!
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.
As a Sourdough I can tell you, that you need to spend at least half your life here or 25 years, I qualify in both regards. Having been to Adak for just a few days, I am willing to give you my sourdough title just cause I know how shitty it is there and you sir did it for a year!
I love here in Alaska specially on the summer because I love to drive around without traffic or just few byhicles on the road and I feel so relax to see the beautiful natures. 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.
We love having Alaska as a home base.
Thanks for watching.
More videos and exposure on social media about the place, less of what you love and appreciate in the future.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video very informative and So interesting keep up the good work looking forward to seeing the rest of the video's 10/10 p.s I live in the UK but I so would love to live there 👍 ❤️
You’re very welcome. We spend last summer in your beautiful country.
Those are the newer videos on our channel.
Love your channel. First time i come across one. I've always been curious about the weather and lifestyle.
Thank you. We have a little bit of everything on this channel!

For the mushroom it is absolutely true. I was visiting Alaska this Summer in August, I saw mushrooms just by driving on HWY 1. Our Polish group was happy being in mushroom paradise. Someone shouted "MUSHROOMS!!", our bus stopped, we get out into the woods (being loud enough to scare the local bears) and picked up nice bag of mushrooms within 10 min.
Awesome!! I'm thinking of moving from New York to Alaska, big change
What a great video. I spent a week in Alaska one summer. These videos do the best job of transmitting the spirit if the place. It’s rugged, yet kind and gentle. 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.
I used to work as a Nurse Practitioner for Chugiachmiut at North Star Clinic 30 years ago. Love Seward.
I'd like to do nursing there once I graduate! How was working there/getting the job? What's the pay like? Thanks!
Super! Please give for us more videos. I like it. I would like to visit Alaska. It is my dream. Thank you for your video.
There’s two more in this series! They can be found on our channel.
Spent a summer there with my brother and his wife. Enjoyed the visit but couldn't look back. Was a nice time and my last vacation. Miss them alot!
