- Alaska has a magical way of healing the soul. When you need to get away and reset, where do you retreat to?

When you need to get away and reset, where do you retreat to?
That would be ALASKA !
Anywhere in the woods.
I like to sit by the waterfall
BozardsInAlaska Can't go far,mostly at my house.Or go to thrift store.Or escape w.book,christian contemporary music,UTube,or garden.But if I was young,i would live in a shack on the beach,just to look at it everyday!
At a Park By the river here...^^
Beautiful...just beautiful. Love the snow and ice. Grew up in Nebraska and it was cold in the winter. Would love to visit Alaska in the winter as well as the summer. God Bless you and your family for all you share with us.
I live in Pennsylvania but I want a change and I love everything about alaska and hopefully one day I can visit or even move out there it's so beautiful and hopefully full of new opportunities
No matter where I live or how infrequently I may visit now since moving with my husband (who was born in Fairbanks but raised in Eagle River) Alaska will always be home to me ❤
Lived in AK for 11 years after 25 years in NM. Loved it. We retired to eastern OR. We do miss so much that is unique to AK. Enjoy...Nice vlog!
Amazing video. I work for a cruise line and I have been in Alaska many times I have seen the world but. Alaska has a very special place in my heart
It’s hard to beat!
I will be back one day. Those ice sounds! I could listen to that for hours while I do my chores or sleeping.
Loved this video, absolutely breathtaking views. I'm actually needing to make the final decision on whether I'll be moving up to Alaska this spring/summer in the next couple of weeks. Not looking to get away from anything just have always wanted to experience life there and every year for the past 3 years I've put it off "till next year." It's going to be a really tough thing to leave my job, family, and friends but at the same time I want to seize the moment and live my dream. Realizing no time will ever feel like the perfect time so just need to go for it! Excited and apprehensive at the same time, these views have me ready to head up there tonight lol!
if you have optimal mental health and can endure 7-8 months out of the year of hardly any sunlight than I say go for it! I unfortunately was not so lucky and after 8 years in alaska with my parents I had to move to Texas to get my depression under control. If not for that I would have loved to stay because it's a beautiful experience living there!
And this is a big part of why I can't wait to move there!!
I thought I wanted to move to the desert (Utah) for the remoteness and natural beauty but now I am seriously considering Alaska. Those damn mountains man. Absolutely captivating.
That was lovely David. I know what you mean about Switzerland; being out and about in nature generally helps me to feel settled and grateful.
Thanks Jillyan!
I’m originally from southern Idaho, I grew up listening to the stories from my grandpa who served in the army in the interior many years ago... he always had a dream of moving up here and building a cabin. As long as I can remember I have wanted to come to Alaska... in 2006 I loaded up my van and kids and hit the road, we lived in Anchorage our first year and then moved to a tiny little town and lived off grid for 8 years, we’ve learned soooooo much since moving to Alaska, but the main thing I’ve learned? Never, Never give up on your dreams! I’ve had some set backs medical wise ( and had to move closer to town and Drs) but we are still here and loving our Alaskan lifestyle! My dream is to one day get that cabin built and put my grandpas ashes in our foundation.... much 💚 and yes Eklutna lake is a beautiful area!
We visited Alaska back in September. I have never been more at peace than I was when we were there. I will return for sure!
Couldn’t agree more!
You are so right--Once visited, Alaska truly does not leave you~most vacations I've had I've long forgotten the details, but Alaska is a different story. I left vowing to return to live there someday but unfortunately didn't act upon it. Health issues has put an end to that dream, but not a day goes by that i don't think about its beauty and peacefulness. It truly is one of God's great creations. Nothing that beautiful could be otherwise. You have a really nice channel, and we always look forward to your next video
I do! I have that dream of going to Alaska one day! Lucky you to have achieved moving there! I am pretty jealous 😊 Great video again, greetings from Hungary!
Your Alaskan dream can come true one day too. Keep fighting for it!
Listening to the person walking near the frozen lake is so soothing!!!
Man thats awesomely gorgeous! We've decided to move up there next year from Oregon. Cant wait!
The sound you captured actually sounds like a heart beat or the sound you hear during an ultrasound! How cool!
Sounds like aliens are trapped under the ice! 👽😜
I have a dream to move to Alaska. I have 3 small children. I want to give them the amazing opportunity to grow up in Alaska. God willing, one day it will happen! Great video!
Hope we become neighbors! Videos like these are so interesting right now that I’m preparing to move. Fascinating Alaska!
I also love and appreciate the beauty of the the surroundings and how amazing God's creation is. Until we move I have focus on the beach and ocean here in FL.
Love the comparison from summer to winter, being in nature is definitely relaxing for us, love the silence. Never thought about skipping rocks on a frozen lake! :)
Have y’all driven to Eklutna yet? If not, try to find some time to (in the summer & winter). Bring your ATV in the summer and stay a night or two in the Serenity Falls Hut (public use cabin). It’s beyond beautiful and my favorite retreat thus far!
I hope to move to Alaska someday soon. Thank you for sharing such beauty with us 👍🏼😍
Of course!
the sound of the ice is sooo kool david. i thought that you had tinted the waterfalls in your last videos but i can see now that its natural on the lake. i have no wishes to go to Alaska but Maine surely is a possibility. i am just enjoying the frozen branches of trees everywhere. it is like an icy cathedral. it is a very zen-like atmosphere. regards, carmine
Hope you can see it soon Carmine!
Its my dream to move to Alaska this year but if not then hopefully next!
I m glad your sharing this Beauty. ☺️
Keep the dream alive! It will be well worth it.
Thank you for sharing it does look beautiful
Alaska is a beauty. Love it there
It sure is. Hard to beat!
i live there for two years and i miss it everyday. there is someting special and kinda spiritual about alaska
Come back!
I wish I could be there too! Gorgeous! Thanks for taking us!
You’re welcome!
I visited Alaska in 2014 (ran the Mayor's Marathon in Anchorage then spent another 5 days). It is the most beautiful place I've ever been. I haven't been able to go back, and it'll be probably at least another 2 years before time and finances allow, but I will be back for a visit. For now I can't imagine living that far from family, but retiring in Alaska sound like a good idea. (I'm 35 so that is a ways off.) I know the traditional beachy retirement has no appeal at all.
Couldn’t agree more. Our hearts are in the snowy mountains and not a sandy beach.
wow amazing and beautiful. love that you share all this
Anytime!
A silent retreat sounds fun! 🙏🙌 It would be great to do one in such a beautiful place like Alaska. I’d love to visit some day, but the prairies of Saskatchewan are my home! Would never leave here permanently. 😊👍
🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾
Highly recommend a silent retreat here!
Watching the real estate market up there. Would love to move in next few years. Just a few things to take care of
Looking for a home, land and or cabin?
Rustic home with lots of land, don’t want to hear or see neighbors 😊
It is so beautiful!!!
Nice video. Wish I was up there now. It's 79 degrees right now in S.W Georgia IN FEBRUARY !! :( Really should not be complaining. Could be 98 degrees and 80 % humidity in August. lol
Ugh! That heat and humidity is my worst nightmare. Don’t miss it!
I'm watching videos about moving to Alaska because I had a dream this night about that.
I have a dream to live in Fairbanks. I'm so tried of Chicago 😤😤😤
I totally understand. How did your dream of Fairbanks begin?
I do--life long dream visit in 2013--all I think about is my return someday.
Someday soon?
Awesome vid..^^ enjoyed!
Thank you!
I live in Alaska and it is BEAUTIFUL
Is it worth moving to ??
I'm moving there soon ! I need some help if it's worth it or not I mean I love the woods an outdoors
@@jasonhaney3097 well it's one of the most dangerous states... but it's soo beautiful! I mean if you're a very cautious person, then I would say no. But if you're a risk taker, then sure you can move there!
I also love God's creation! beautiful, amazing . Thank you for the video!
I don't have any plans to move to Alaska.
Blessings for you and your family! 🙏😃
Thanks Estela! Same to you!
Working on moving to AK this year !!! :D
BozardsInAlaska,
Alaska wow I just love the Ice & Cold.🥰
The Silence, the wilderness. 🏞
I will definitely carry my wife there on our next vacation.👫 🛩
Later. 👋👋
I went this afternoon to Eklutna Lake but I couldn't make it. The first steep hill it stop me , lot's of snow on the road and also ice base of the road . I tried 3 times but my not 4 wheel car couldn't reach the top , So, I surrounded for today.
Oh no! Maybe if we have another warm week soon. Do you have winter tires?
@@BozardsInAlaska No, I don't have winter tires. That car I am leasing and care came from New Jersey , it has summer tires.
I was born in Chile , up until 77' I was 14 years old, did my growning up in the barmuda triangle, Miami from 77' til 90' been to a few states always like Idaho & Montana, but definitely alaska is my choosing, I have been to Peru and Cuzco cross the Andes mountains live in the Jungle there, now I am back in Chile I hope to the Spirit God that may I finish my time in that beautiful place of yours, the best of what I like is there in Alaska, mountains wilderness, ocean, fishing hunting, I'm not much of a city person and agree with your feeling about nature and the closeness to God or the Spirit of creation I am not a religious person instead considered my self a Spiritual one. Bless you and your Family ! Love Light & Wisdom 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 Ps. Those are some great shots of Nature in opposite contrast🌟🌟👍🌟🌟
What an amazing history. Thank you for sharing and hope you come back to Alaska soon.
I'm 2 months away from paying off my biggest bill to them i sill start saving up to buy property in AK but i have learned that property in AK is over priced i was l looking at a property that was being sold for 200k that was worth 79k
I got this suggestion because I follow SomersInAlaska
Love their channel too! Definitely have them in our prayers today for Jessica’s surgery!
Saved by the bell. The reteat.
"You may leave Alaska, but Alaska really never leaves you"
Ben dreaming last 7yrs but a back injury has put a major hold but there might be light at the end of my tunnel soon
I’m sorry to hear that Matt. One day!
I want to one day visit Alaska. Either visit and live there in Alaska or just to visit.
I’d wager that when you visit, you’ll not want to leave like us 😉
LOL Most likely.
Do you walk around out there without any fire arms protection or anything??
🔫 + 🐻 spray
This is where Cory was ice skating in his Sumo suit. We had a lot of fun that day.
I definitely remember that one. Especially when Blake just lifted Cory up like he was a child 💪🏼
Sounds like some Alien weapon going off, Very impressive view.
Yes it does!
I have a dream to come see you!!❤️
Silent retreat is in nature. In the quiet. You can find God in those places. Alaska is my dream, even if only for a year or two.. But I can never afford to come there. But it is the dream
How long are you and your family going to stay in Alaska?
We’re hoping FOREVER! Never say never but no plans to leave.
Did you include Switzerland in the United states!? Lol
Ha! Oops...Switzerland is so beautiful I guess it clouded my judgement, lol 🤣
A month I will be there
If it’s ok could I have an email? I am planning on moving there in about 4-6 years. I have a few local friends but want other perspectives. Thank you!
What's the exact address so beautiful
@@BozardsInAlaska OMG screaming I always watch your videos OMG. Thank you for responding. Wow
Leslie-ann Young of course! Hope you’re doing well and have the opportunity to visit one day!
@@BozardsInAlaska God bless you sure will. I will let you know too. Shalom
Those are most likely earthquakes. Many small ones happen up here each day.
Pretty much used to it now for sure. So many daily
I would like to visit but but live there.
Too cold?
BozardsInAlaska The cold wouldn’t bother me but the darkness and being away from my family would.
I have a dream....haha
I'd visit, but not live, too cold,
You’d probably be surprised how quickly you get used to it
@@BozardsInAlaska I was raised in a place where it snowed, from October to almost May, Sometimes there would be freak snowstorms in June, and even July. I didn't mind it as a kid, but as I got older, The cold was to much. It hurt my body to be cold. It's one of the reasons, I have been hesitant to move up to Oregon. I want to be near my mom, but I don't want to be in a place where it is cold more often than it is warm. I am Happy to view the scenery through your videos though,
