The 6 Types of People Who Should NOT Move to Alaska! 

if you're relying on the city transit. you're pretty much limited to Anchorage and Fairbanks. Also Alaska is a red state, so if you're a bit more left leaning.. just be aware...

Wow, I'm completely different from all those six types, Alaska! Hold on, because you're now my new life goal

I’ve lived in NC for about 12/13 years est, I live about 3 hours away from the coast and 2 hours away from mountains. I’m really sick of such mediocre weather… it’s usually 90 degrees in the summer and averages in the 40s for the winter -occasionally- 30s. The most excitement we get in the winter is a frozen bird bath 🙄😂 and 1 to 2 in of sleet (which is no fun plus we have to wait for the roads to be salted.) There’s certainly amazing scenery in North Carolina, but I have to travel for it. Weather and scenery are very mediocre where I live. There’s nothing like North Carolina humidity I’ll tell you that!! I want something new, I want real weather and real scenery…Alaska seems so amazing!

I was in Alaska in the 50sloved it. Stationed in Galena by Campion AFB then to NekNek . 87 now so too old to move. Enjoyed your video

Subscribed as you take some words right outta my mouth! I swear if i hear off grid one more time!

I am a lifelong Alaskan and you nailed it! Great video!

Number 4 is spot on! Don't believe all the videos of folks "living off the land."

Off-grid......lol Anyhow, thanks for the great videos. I'm sick of Florida, but I think Alaska maybe too cold. Native Ohioan, so I know cold and snow, but not sure about Alaska cold.

is anchorage the best job market and the easiest place to find work? i like your videos. im seriously thinking of moving threre. i've been in the heat and humidity all my life and most recently for 9 years and still here in thailand and i'm sick of it. any thoughts u have i would appreciate it. thx, pat.

Lol a lot of people are going to be shocked!!!!! Lower 48 is crazy 🤣

Don't forget crazy high prices. 🤠

Born and raised in Eagle River I live in Washington and I am moving back up in about 6 months😊

Good information, totally agree with you. I have been in Alaska three times in past 2 years and absolutely love it. Will be moving there soon and I know jobs are not any problem in medical fields.

Come with money...lots of money. Then stick with Anchorage if you want access to medical and other services and providers. I spent time in Juneau and it was way too limited in services and very closed minded.

I came with a good attitude and enjoy the scenery as well as winter activities even though I hail from the subtropics. I have given it a shot. Truth be told, some Alaskans want to be misanthropic introverts and don’t go out of their way to be friendly and helpful. They will dig you out of a snow ditch but they won’t help you out much more than that. Ugh. Don’t move here if you are prone to mood disorders or depression. There is not much help or support. Don’t move here if you are happy in a crowd.

Where can I get your relocation guide ,,, planning to move up there in 2024

Funny episode made me giggle

Dont forget, even a beater with a heater is gonna cost you 5k. Oh and dont forget the bugs!!

i plan on working there hunting and fishing too.

I'm interested in going to Alaska for college, but I'm not sure how I'd deal with the cold weather, however the natural beauty, giant national parks, volcanoes, mountains, are all huge draws to me as well lol, so I'm definitely conflicted.

I should not. But would love to visit.

😂 this was a funny episode 💪 CULTURE 🤣

I endure overcast, gloomy Vermont winters, so I can't imagine an Alaska winter; it has zero appeal. Maybe a vacation to see Mt. McKinley from a distance, but New England is as far north on the continent as I'd venture. I can always visit nearby Maine on the cheap, "the poor man's Alaska" as some say. But cheers to all the hardy Alaskans!

So my dream is over about me having my own cabin in Alaska haha

I wanna move up there and work hard but be able to hunt and fish to my hearts content. Do you think I should make the move?

Please don't come if you have racist views etc , you will get checked super fast and kicked out by people.....I saw it myself happened at Golden Corral in Midtown

My dream is to move to Alaska and build my own house. But ik the challenges and ik I’ll still need to work

I got stuck in Alaska after a divorce and a baby. 18 years later, I'm happy and looking forward to moving out, I get horrible S.A.D. It is REAL and debilitating. The only reason I stayed so long is that I had to provide for my child. Most people here are grumpy during the winter months. I take vitamin D, but it does not help.

What if I go to Alaska for business like if I want to create my own company. Should I do it or shouldn't I????

To cut to the chase, P u s s i e s! 😂

should u get a car or a truck?

Hey, AR --- you've got grizzlies & serial killers! What not to like?

I hate to work people and the sun I must go to Alaska baby

Transportation is only necessary in the bigger cities. In the bush, no

What is it like for black people because I'll be moving there soon. I've purchased 600 acres of land and I don't eat meat and also will be growing my own vegetables and fruits.

If you dont like being hustled in a captive market and paying WAY more for literally anything.

I’m none of these people I think I need to move

“Off grid” just means you are off of the power grid

Well if you are the junkie type heroin meth then you would fit right in on park avenue in Ketchikan Alaska

“Off grid”

Drugs, alcohol, big time recreation.

I did live off grid (not the glamorous YT kind) in Edna Bay, and it is work. Constantly maintaining a pair of honda generators, getting water because no catchment system is efficient enough, working on the cabin, and failing miserably to keep marten from breaking in and ransacking the kitchen. And if none of those things, constantly gathering firewood. Theres nothing glamorous about it, don't believe YT or the history channel. And all that while cutting timber for a nearby logging camp. And that didn't even touch on cabin maintenance or hauling out trash. So if you can be 3 places at once, off grid can be an attainable dream 😂

gussuk knows who should be on our land, who'd've thunk it

From my book: MAKE ALASKA GREAT AGAIN by a native born Alaskan that fished king crab 22 years and salmon 74 years. Oil tanker ballast water taken from foreign ports brought foreign bacteria, nematodes and algae that can double in 12 hours destroyed a billion dollar a year shrimp and crab fishery in Kodiak and Cook Inlet that went into the private sector. It took twenty years to destroy the crab and shrimp fisheries. Twenty years of dumping toxic waste plus the city of Anchorage dumping another, ten-millions of gallons of sewage a day into upper Cook Inlet and twenty years of offshore oil wells dumping radioactive drill tailing and drilling mud, the shrimp, crab and clams were exterminated. When I was a young man living in Seldovia I could walk down any beach in the bay wearing hip-boots. There were so many clams that your pants would get wet from them squirting water three feet in the air. You could look down the beach into the sun and see continuous water jets spouting like a fountain. The clams were so big and healthy that they couldn’t close their shells. Now there is nothing. It’s a sad state of affairs when you can’t trust your government to take care of your resources! Shrimp, crab and clams are bivalves. After their eggs hatch the spat must swim to the surface in the spring to feed on the first plankton bloom. When the ecosystem had been altered by contaminates such as bacteria and algae that suck up all the oxygen the plankton dies. The entire ecosystem is poisoned by chemicals, plastics and heavy metals in solution. Add to this a layer of oil on the surface that suffocates zooplankton and you have a recipe for disaster. I believe our food supply was purposely poisoned for the purpose of getting rid of most commercial fishermen so there would be less opposition to future offshore drilling. Practically all the shrimp and crab were exterminated. To add insult to injury the state blamed the depletion of the resource on the fishermen. Many fishermen like myself, lost their boats, wives, houses and everything. My loss totals several million. The state also wanted to get rid of commercial fisherman so they could sell billions of dollars in oil leases in lower Cook Inlet south of Kaligan Island and in Kachemak Bay. They had visions of grandeur making it look like the Gulf of Mexico will oil rigs in every direction from horizon to horizon. The oil companies weren’t interested in dealing with Alaska’s bureaucracy so very few oil leases were sold. Due to state greed the people living in the cities of Homer and Seldovia were cheated out of their livelihood. I was forced to fish further west out of Kodiak and King Cove in order to earn enough to support my family. Being away from home for months at a time and the stress of trying to make a living with an old 70-foot boat Mary M built in 1929 resulted in my divorce. I lost everything, my boat, three-hundred crab pots worth $600 apiece and my house in Halibut Cove. If the State had not destroyed the crab fisheries you would not be reading this right now. When the forty+-year-old pipeline starts springing leaks, the carpet beggars who came here to get rich will scurry away likes rats leaving a singing ship to go back to the hell holes they came out of. People coming to Alaska with the idea of making a living off the land have no idea how hard it is to survive her let alone make a living fishing, trapping and hunting. It takes a mindset that most people would consider insane. Greetings’ fellow enemy Combatants. We have gold in the hills but the government bureaucrats won’t let you mine it. We had clams on the beaches but the government allowed big corporations to kill them with pollution. We had shrimp and crab but government bureaucrats allowed two oil tankers a day for twenty-five years to dump 20-million gallons of ballast water taken from Honolulu, Hawaii, Korea, Japan, and California into Cook Inlet containing bacteria and killer algae that can double in numbers every twelve hours. The tanker ballast water also contained nematodes that eat the inside of crab and shrimp eggs. From, 1960 to 1985 Trillions of different species of bacteria were brought to Alaska that having no natural enemies infected and replaced the natural food chain. All during the 1960’s and 1970’s oil tankers used the same tanks to carry ballast water so there was a foot or more of crude oil or more in the bottom of the ballast tanks. Much oil was dumped into Cook Inlet because powerful pumps loose suction when there is a foot of crude left in the bottom of the tanks. We lost a billion-dollar a year shrimp and crab fishery. Then there was a total of eight oil well blowout in Cook Inlet. One blew natural gas and oil 1,200 feet into the air for one week and simmered down to 500-feet above the rig tower for over a month. Commercial fishermen lost a billion-dollars-a-year shrimp and crab fishery because the government cannot manage the resources. We had trees in the forest but government bureaucrats would rather burn the forests than allow the private sector to cut down a tree. We have to buy all our building material from Canada and other states. They won’t let you build houses and turn trees into lumber. Now the forests are burned and have deep ash pits that are still on fire. We used to have clean air to breathe but government bureaucrats tasked with managing forests allow more than 2000 square miles of forest to burn up each year. Now more than 600 personnel are working on the Swan Lake fire that covers an area of over 264 square miles. The cost of putting out fires in Alaska will be more than 60-million dollars this year. We have to beg some bureaucrat sitting behind a desk for a permit to cut firewood. Then you have to have another government worker come into your home to inspect you stove to see if it meets air quality specifications including particulates that might affect your own health and welfare-this, when the air outside you home is unfit to breathe. Our own government has declared war upon us. Bureaucrats sitting behind desks are not free. They have to sit there for twenty years to get a pension and they hate the private sector because we are free! They relish the power they have over us and want you to grovel at their feet begging for a permit to cut firewood to stay warm in the cold Alaska winter. They don’t want you to grow your own food, raise animals because it might make you less dependent on the government. They sit there for year dreaming up ways to tax or license every human activity. We cannot remain free when there are no more resources left to be harvested. Now the only resource we have left is salmon and that may be gone soon because water from planes and helicopters mixed with fertilizer was sprayed on the 260-square-mile Swan lake fire. When the fall rains come much of that fertilizer will be washed into the Kenai and Skilak Lakes a long with tons of alkali wood ash and carbon. This will raise the PH of the water so that natural foods the young salmon eat may not grow in abundance and foreign algae blooms may take the place of natural foods. On top of that State Fish and Game let an additional million salmon up the Kenai River. What few salmon survive their average weight will be less than five pounds. It’s doubtful that we will have a salmon run ten years from now. What will we do when all the natural resources are gone? Ancient Greece fell when 16% of the population started working for government and there weren’t enough people making and growing things to support the government. Government workers don’t contribute to society they tax and restrict society by creating laws and regulations. Ancient Rome fell when 18% of the population became civil service workers. Constant wars and overspending had significantly lightened imperial coffers, and oppressive taxation and inflation had widened the gap between rich and poor. One in three families in Alaska is receiving a government paycheck from State and Federal agencies and there are too few producers. We now have so many laws and regulations that put people in jail and restrict their activities that government has to fall. The same thing is paying out on a federal level. The Hill: “After eight years of reckless expansion of the federal workforce under Barack Obama, Donald Trump vowed to downsize the wildly growing bureaucracy of Washington. In 2016, he promised to “cut so much your head will spin.” However, during the first two years of his presidency, there has been no significant effort to reduce the bloated federal payrolls. In fact, the federal government is the largest employer in the nation.” The sheer size of our government workforce is alarming …The Hill.. Apr 14, 2019 - The federal government employs nearly 9.1 million workers, comprising nearly 6 percent of total employment in the United States. More people are in prison in the United States per capita than any other nation. It cost money to keep people in prison. www.HankKroll.com

I tell you, all the titles about not coming too Alaska etc. is not fitting of trying to actually get people to come to Alaska. I subscribe to you because I love Alaska and plan to buy there, I am not so sure you messages are the way.

Damn . Man I want alaska to help with some money cuz I wanna live there for real 😩

#2 So Leftist dont need to move there!

If you hate the term off grid, maybe you shouldn't be a realtor in Alaska. Who do you think is your customers? People coming from the lower 48 are moving their to be self sufficient and off the grid.

Alaska is too small and conservative.

this guy is so passive-aggressive, condescending. like its not a flex to have 9 months of winter, or to be able to deal with it
