I was shipped to Alaska via the US Army in 2018 and I loved it so much, I'm seriously considering going back now that my contract is up. Colorado is alright, but it's nowhere near as peaceful or intriguing as Alaska.
Alaska is amazing! We want to move to more of a remote area in 5 years hopefully! We want to learn how to hunt moose and more game. Thank you for your service! Thank you for watching!
Just found your channel…living in L.A. right now and totally agree with everything you said. We haven’t been to Alaska yet but I think it’s worth a try. Great videos!
Thank you! We love our life up here. It’s so peaceful and relaxing, plus life goes a little slower (even tho time has flown by). We are building so much on our property right now, so we can be self-sustainable. If you keep watching you will see how great it can be to live in Alaska! We will be releasing a video on how we built our chicken coop soon! Thank you for watching!
Hey guys! I recently found your videos after deciding that I'm going to move to Alaska in the next 4 years for the rest of my working years and retirement. I want some land too, not to see neighbors out of windows. It's gotten congested down here in Georgia too. Thanks for all of your pros and cons, and thinking out of the box about being resourceful in new surroundings! I appreciate you. Please keep the videos coming :)
You are so welcome! We are trying to keep the videos coming, but we are falling behind right now. Hopefully spring time we will have videos every week again. Thanks for watching
How am I just now finding your channel? My bf and I planning to move to Alaska in a little over a year and I have watched so many videos about Alaska and just found you guys.
Thank you so much! We are still learning a lot up here in Alaska to be self-sufficient! We are making our bed frame soon and can’t wait to share it. Plus next year we will be doing more hunting videos once we can obtain a residence hunting pass. Thanks for your support!
My wife and I just moved to Anchorage. Couple things.1. If you buy kayaks "if you haven't already" look into Vibe Kayaks Yellow fin 100. Great kayak at a decent price. We lived in Montana for a few years and loved it too. If you guys are looking for a fishing fanatic to go fishing with, hit me up. I'm probably your parent's age but I always have the skinny on where good fishing is regardless where I am. hehe. I think you made a great call on Alaska. So far we love it.
I’m so sorry I haven’t responded to you. We have one kayak right now, Lifetime, but it was free through my job. We still need to get one more. Thanks for the advice on that. Next year we want to go fishing all the time. It would be great to have someone take us out and teach us the ropes. We are excited to go! Thank you so much for watching!
@@greatalaskanjourney3512 I don't know a ton about the fishing here as I just moved here. I've done that type in other states. As far as fishing, I have been doing it as a hobby and professionally for over 45 years. hehe I just don't know much about ice fishing other than IT'S COLD. I will get with you in the spring and we can find the good fishing spots. I fished non-stop when I lived in FL or anywhere I went to travel for work. I caught a 6 foot Leopard shark in SF bay that was really cool. They have some amazing colors. Not like the plain old grey like in Florida.
Just found your channel and I love it! I plan to binge and watch all of your other videos. How much land do you have there? Thanks for sharing with us. Tiff
Thank you so much! We truly appreciate it. We have about 1.3 acres but hope to acquire more. We will soon be releasing our glacier hike and camping video later this week. We hope you enjoy the rest of the videos. Rick and Jacob
Just found the channel. We are retiring to southeast AK in 613 days but who’s counting? One thing we learned is, meeting people is hard. Most Alaskans live there for the privacy. Look at the community boards at the post office and find some groups to join to make friends. Good luck boys! Excited to see your experience.
Thank you so much. I just noticed we never responded. We counted everyday til we did our road-trip to move up here. We love living here and wouldn’t change it for the world. Thanks again!
I thought I wanted to live in a warm location but then when I did, I thought to myself “I’m over it and I am always sweaty” and I really wanted to move back to Alaska with the cold air. I am so thankful that we took the chance and relocated ourselves in Alaska! We sold pretty much everything we owned and went on our own adventure to “The last frontier”. Thank you for watching!
I totally "get" everything you both said. I moved to Wasilla from Jacksonville, Florida. Florida is nice, but SOOO crowded. It's nice not having to deal with all the traffic and crowds. I can sit on my front porch, enjoy the quiet, the trees, the moose and even the Northern Lights! The "con" I most agree with is the mail. I have 2 addresses: where I live and where I get my mail. Yet, some things can be delivered to our house. I'm not sure I quite figured it out yet... except Williams-Sonoma delivers to our house.
It is nice not to have to worry about traffic anymore, especially out here in Wasilla. There are a few spots where traffic can get heavy but it’s still nothing compared to LA. The best part is the peace and quite out here but close enough to stores. I am finding out that not everything can be bought online living here because we have found places that will not ship to Alaska. Just big item things. We saw the northern lights earlier this year and were just amazing!! Thanks for watching! -Rick and Jacob
Same. I moved from Orlando and couldn't wait to get out of Florida. I could go the rest of my life and never want to go back to that overcrowded state. Unfortunately, since my family still lives there, I am forced to go back to visit.
We feel the same about California, Jacobs family and friends live there so we have to go back every once and awhile. It’s fun, but get tired of all the people in the area 😂😂😂
Damn this is so inspiring. I’ve lived in Southern California my whole life for 32 years now and I feel the same way you both felt living here. And I live in one of the nicer suburban areas an hour south east of LA. I feel like life I’m Southern California has become toxic to a level I can’t stand anymore and every cell in my body is screaming out at me to gtfo. Like, my internal geiger counter is off the charts. I was recently diagnosed with an auto immune illness and I truly think the circumstances of my life out here are hugely responsible for my deteriorating health and that it would be so much healthier for me to get away. I’ve been looking into places on Whidbey Island in Washington state and even all the way up in Alaska like yourselves. Watching this definitely has me feeling more encouraged to get out and it isn’t like I can’t ever come back to visit family. I still have tons of friends and family I can visit in California who can always come visit me too. Anyway, great video, take care.
I truly believe that living in the city was causing my health to deteriorate as well. We just needed out. When we moved to Alaska we just felt at peace. I know a lot of people love living in Washington and it’s a beautiful state. I know people love Oregon as well. We hope the best for you!! Thanks for watching! -Rick and Jacob
Hope you are enjoying the Alaska summer! I lived in Wasilla in 2000 for a year, then moved to Anchorage for work. I moved back to MI a couple of years later. I loved living in AK, I met my husband there. Fast forward 20 years and we just bought a house in Wasilla. I needed to be near Hatcher's Pass, it's my favorite place to just "be". Definitely ride the Alaskan Rail system, it's spectacular!!! Take a train to Seward. I moved there by myself, didn't know anyone, I made so many lifelong friends there. Have lots of fun discovering the wonders of AK. Maybe I'll see you around town!!!
We love it here. I grew up in MI but I wouldn’t give up Alaska after moving here. We are planning sooooo many trips right now, one being the Alaska Railway. I can’t wait, plus the hot springs during the winter months is going to be great too. Thank you for your support. I am trying to get the next video out soon!
@@greatalaskanjourney3512, The Butte in Palmer is a popular hike. Yes, Chena Hot springs in the winter, loved it, we ended up taking the train there in January, I would definitely recommend it. MI is beautiful also, but AK is epic.
I moved here by myself too. No family, no friends, just me and my two young adult boys. One is now in the military and the other is looking to get in Law Enforcement. But he may also move back to Florida. I am okay being up here by myself. It's where I belong.
We thank him for his service and you for your dedication. Alaska is more about living and it keeps you mentally and physically in shape. We love it here and want to move a little more inland possibly to get more property and build our own house!
"...the grocery stores are full. I mean, we haven't had any products missing there...." That isn't always the case so at least stock up on rice and pasta and other staple items just in case. I think it was earlier this year we ran out of rice. None on the shelf. Like ANYWHERE! And certain popular products go fast. Sometimes I can't find half n' half at the local Walmart. It is rare but it happens enough for me to be worried everytime I go to buy more. I live in Eagle River so it is smaller than Wasilla, but I am closer to Anchorage. I ordered a lot of furniture when I moved here a little over 2 years ago and some of the items took many months to come in. Some items arrived 6-8 months after I ordered it. Other things: Amazon can take many more days to get here. Some online stores offer free shipping but it may not apply to Alaska. Some online stores do not ship to Alaska. Residents that have lived in Alaska an entire calendar year (January to December) can apply for the Permanent Fund Divided (PFD) the following year in January. Some flights are cheaper from Alaska than other places in the lower 48. (I don't know why 😐) When people find out you live in Alaska, they always want to ask you about the constant darkness in the winter time and constant sunlight in the summer. When people see AK as the state on your address, some people think it is the abbreviation for Arkansas. On the Weather Channel, you will hardly ever see anything about Alaska. It's as if we are forgotten (and I am not mad about that). 😉
We have learned to stock up on the staple items. We have prepared for winter and stocked up on canned goods, just in case we don’t want to leave the house or if we can’t. We ordered our couch set but had to wait 6 months for the love-seat to arrive. We do use Amazon a lot and its helpful. You are absolutely right about people asking you always about daylight. We always use the weather app to see our weather in the area, but for winter I feel like they can’t even predict our weather ☃️🥶😂😂😂
Wasilla is a great area, but there isn’t as many close amenities until you get to Anchorage which is an hour drive. It is calmer, less traffic, and less populated, even tho it’s a fast growing area. Anchorage is a huge area, you could do city living or country living as well, plus there is so much there (when there are products not in the stores in Wasilla, they always tell us that the anchorage store has it in stock). I always love visiting Fairbanks. I visited there twice but that city is out there by itself. The next couple of weeks we are updating our garden and expanding our homestead and Wasilla allows us to do that better but close enough to everything too!
I live in Brooklyn, NY and have never lived anywhere outside of New York. I wanna leave so badly, and I feel like either Alaska or South Dakota would be a good fit for me
Alaska is amazing. Where you choose to live here will be vastly different lifestyles. If you choose to live in Wasilla it’s a lot more calm and not as many convinces will be easily available (besides outdoor activities). If you choose Anchorage, it’s more city lifestyle with the opportunity to drive some distance to see amazing nature. We love living here and appreciate the slower lifestyle and great experiences at our fingertips! Thanks for watching!
Wow that’s impressive. We took our time for the first half! Then we put the pedal to the metal during the second half when we figured out we were going to encounter a snow storm if we didn’t. 😂😂😂
We were looking to buy a house in Houston, but when we saw this house we are in now, we couldn’t pass it up! I love this area but the next time we move we want to move to Houston or possibly further out! Thank you for watching!
@@greatalaskanjourney3512, I knew Jacob through his father. I lived in Norwalk & Jacob's father brought him to the house a couple of times when his computer needed to be worked on. Jacob was always a very nice, respectful kid. :)
@@greatalaskanjourney3512, I am good. So happy to see he is pursuing his dreams & leaving California. I left 2 yrs ago myself. I'm in Nevada (small town)
Love to see two gay dudes living the dream so many of us have. Perhaps some firearms would offer better bear protection than bear spray or a cross bow. Just sayin. Anyway keep up the good work.
Thank you so much! We plan on getting some more firearms, but right now all that we have are shotguns. We only have dove hunted before and want to do more soon! Thanks for your support!
I know tell me about it. We are trying to teach our city friends that there is more than life than hand bags. Trying to show them how to survive on their own, and support their family in the small homestead’s they have themselves. It’s not possible for us both to bring hate, and disturbance. Trust me I want my property as far away from humans as possible. Just because were from California does not mean we moved here and took the same morals and views. California is made up of more then just one view of people and we hope we can be a good representation of that. We love what Alaska represents and hope to continue it. Thank you for your comment and have a great day!
We love you! 😂🤣😂 I have never heard of Alaskans hating anyone. I feel like Alaskans are accepting of everyone, but love their privacy. The best way to explain Alaskans is “We leave you alone and you leave me alone”. I would say that most Alaskans would agree with that. Still think people from Texas are great people. 😎
i moved to texas from Redding ca that was a mistake . im looking at buying some land land in Port Mackenzie ak from what i have read its a township of Wasilla to and build a house and a little homestead from what i have seen just dont bring your CA politics to AK that's a NO NO!!!
We love Alaska the way it is. We hope nobody comes up here trying to change it because no other states politics would work up here. We hope people don’t come up here from Texas an bring Texas politics here either. California politics would not work here. The people of Alaska are the best and everyone accepts everyone here. Thank you for watching!
Denali is a national park. Tho I just looked up what you were trying to reference and saw it. We had no clue but we were referencing the National Park. Thanks for watching tho!
Just make sure that you realize you've moved to a red state where we love our freedom, love hunting and fishing and love our guns. Don't come up here and continue vote blue and make Alaska...california.... Learn our ways or LEAVE!
Wow. Just wow. I take it that you haven’t watched our other videos. We don’t bring politics into our videos and we love the freedom of Alaska, that’s why we moved here (once again you haven’t watched the rest of our videos). I hope your day gets better!

Next year we will be for sure! We can buy residents license next year! We are super excited to go to Valdez for fishing!

Have you guys thought about getting chickens possibly
That’s the next thing we want to get! Just trying to start slow 😆
Can’t wait to build our kitchen table 🤩
I am super excited about that too!!!

Denali is a national park. Tho I just looked up what you were trying to reference and saw it. We had no clue but we were referencing the National Park. Thanks for watching tho!
Just make sure that you realize you've moved to a red state where we love our freedom, love hunting and fishing and love our guns. Don't come up here and continue vote blue and make Alaska...california....
Learn our ways or LEAVE!
Wow. Just wow. I take it that you haven’t watched our other videos.
We don’t bring politics into our videos and we love the freedom of Alaska, that’s why we moved here (once again you haven’t watched the rest of our videos). I hope your day gets better!
