OMG, Bert! I was in your video. That was me in the rainbow crocks, on the plane. You followed me out into FIA. I live in Oklahoma, and rotate every three weeks. I wish I would have seen you, I would have probably fan boyed out! Me and my wife LOVE your family so much. Thank you for sharing so much with us.

@willcresson8776 2 года назад

The difference is the cost of gas up there is all economics, in Cali it's all tax/socialism. Up in Prudhoe there's a legitimate reason for the price, in Cali it's just to line your champagne communist leaders pockets.

@jondstewart 2 года назад

@@willcresson8776 it’s not socialism in California! Do you think if socialism, communism, humanism, or whatever other -ism there is in California, prices would be so high? It’s because California has for many decades been a ridiculously desirable place to live. At least on the coast. Perfect climate, for one. So they drive up the cost of living to ridiculously high rates to keep the rich there, drive the poor out, and make the middle class live on the fringes. Population control. Socialism is about equality for all with everybody just living comfortably and not much else. California is hardly the place.

Well that brought back memories ! My wife and I have a photo in front of that store from a road trip up there in 2010. New Mexico to Deadhorse and back, 5 weeks and 10,000 miles. Gas was about the same, if I recall. Inside of the store hasn’t changed much either. Spent a couple days in Fairbanks, and of course visited the Santa Claus house in North Pole. My mom got one of the “square inch” deeds from her uncle back many decades ago. We found the park, and sent her a photo. Thank you for these videos, and god bless you and your family !

How can people afford to live? $34.00 for a bottle of Tide ($23.00), & a bottle of Downy($11.00). I couldn't afford to wash my clothes. Gas $5.98. A can of Pringles $11.00? Did I see that right? Those prices were steep. Kind of makes me want to adopt a family to send them snacks. How much was the Coke? Thank you Burt for showing us. You are so wonderful. Hello Jessica, Audrey, Evelyn, & Garret. So good to see you folks!

@Ammosexual69 Год назад

Prices are like that because of the cost of transporting the goods so far north. The end buyer winds up paying for shipping essentially or else the store wouldn’t be able to afford to stay open. Kind of the same reason gas/diesel is so expensive in Alaska. The people that are working the Alaskan oil fields are being paid very well for being so remote.

@danielthornley248 Год назад

Nobody lives here it’s just oilfield workers

@buckeyehockey1979 4 месяца назад

Prices are way higher in Alaska and Hawaii due to transport cost. It's an oil field town, it's just the workers and they are paid very well. That's why people are willing to do it, the money.

Thanks for sharing. I was there the second week of January because I wanted to see a real Arctic Winter. I stayed at Brooks Camp and went to the store a few times, and walked from Brooks Camp to the Aurora one time. When I walked to the Aurora and back it was -38F with a -55F wind chill. Later in the day it was -36F but it got windier, so it was -67F with the windchill. I was just there as a tourist, and I loved it.

3 are referred to as "hotels", everything else is referred to as "camp", the 3 hotels are owned by T.J., owner of Ice services. I was their loader operator there at SA10, the borough building by the water plant. Been running equipment on lease for 14 years, seen some nasty winters, moved countless metric tons of snow..."pennies from heaven" as I call it. Glad you made the trip, the haul road is a killer trip if you make the time to camp along the way...some of the best scenery next to Sitka and Valdez

His niece was the wife of Dave Rundall, who was lost along with his whole crew from the Arctic Rose. Such memories!
