Has anyone every thought about moving to Alaska?

I was born there and moved down to Montana, but if I could set up the perfect situation, I'd go back. It is beautiful beyond words and where I lived was alot warmer in winter than Montana! For the person that made the comment about the 24 hour days and nights. That only happens in a small part of Alaska and you can still sleep in dark if you put foil over your windows.

I hope this is purely rhetorical.  If you're really serious, and can afford the move, AND continue to live there, I would start with a visit to each.  I believe that to be the only way to make a realistic decision.

alright heres what you gotta do. Are you listening? Hitch a train to Canada, while in Canada go to the worst neighborhood and witness a murder, then go into the witness protection program and have your name changed to "Lumberjack Bob". Then Hightail it up to Alaska and live among the eskimos. Go hunting for walrus and learn their ways. You will have to go up to Northern Alaska since southern and central alaska are low on eskimos, and pretty normal...just cold. So anyways find a penguin and name him bertchrum and take him with you everywhere then take him, put a wig on him and bring him back to the US with you after the whole skipping school thing blows over. Or you could just take the easy way out and do detention. besides detention is underrated. I have had some pretty wild detentions, I chipped my skull a little bit(not visible, but you could feel it) from getting hit in the face with a waterbottle in one lunch detention.

I didn't see one listed in the Alaska MLS for Anchorage. Other than looking up each realtor that works at each realty, that's the best that I could do for you. Luckily, if you decide to go that route, Anchorage isn't nearly as big as say Los Angeles or New York!

I suspect the more valid question is,,,"IS it Worth it" part of your possibly blocking possibilities from right around the Block?\n\n   Worth can't strictly be determined by location, distance to get there, or always how YOU personally define WORTH.\n\n   For you, worth may be very defined? AND if so you may already know the answer?\n\n   The fact that more males reside in, or work in Alaska has a lot to do with economics. Unless you have no fear of travel, cold, long nights at certain time of year, you might still remain OPEN to exploring everywhere?\n\n   Do convenience, Race, culture, security, etc, play a part in your WORTH definition?\n\n   How you define Mr. Right is up to you,,, and no offense meant but anyone could turn out to be not all that "right" no matter how far you travel.\n\n   You might think of it this way,,, On this planet there are BILLIONS of our species. Perhaps more of you, in reality than of my gender, ( I don't care to check)\n\n   Assuming that, I suspect a large percentage of those Billions who are my gender, live in a closer proximety to you than Alaska,,,unless of course you live in Northern Canada, Russia, or that general locale.\n\n   I also suspect in LOOKING you might try ALLOWING one or more of my gender to FIND you. That of course might take some patience, and involving yourself in activities, etc. that allow others to meet you, get to know you, and you them.\n\n   Pack up yer Mukluks, take something along on your journey that will occupy you in moments you aren't being overwhelmed by guys beating down your door, and think about balancing what it is you WANT with what is available.\n\nRev.

You could drive up through Canada and cross into Alaska, though I don't know the miles and time. I do recommend buying The Milepost for that long trek.\n\nYou could also use the ferry system to take you and your car on a 3-day ride from Bellingham to Juneau, then a 3-day gulf crossing from Juneau.

I live in a state where guns are just a part of life. Most Alaskans have guns, some for protection, but mostly for hunting. I get pissed when people who live in big cities sneer down at those of us who chose a rural lifestyle and want to regulate guns. Um - when there is a bear on your front porch, trying to get in, come talk to me about gun control. When wolves are eating your pet dog in your yard, come talk to me about gun control. (Both incidents have happened in the town of Healy, Alaska and both are pretty recent.) When you move out to a village that is off the road system, where ALL of your food needs to be flown in and you're paying more than $7 for a gallon of milk, come talk to me about gun control. (I don't know what a pound of ground beef goes for, sorry) I know many Alaskan families - even here in Fairbanks, the 2nd largest city, who wouldn't make it through the winter if they didn't get a moose. Until Rosie - or any other anti-gun person - is willing to come up here and spend a year in a village, where they HAVE to hunt to survive, I don't pay much attention to them.

WARNING: There are a number of web sites that offer services to find you fishing boat jobs in Alaska. These sites are rip offs and scams. Fishing boats are mostly locally owned and the owner/skipper does the hiring in the local area. Save your money.\n\nAs a former Alaskan, and having worked on fishing boats, I can tell you it is very difficult to land a deckhand job.\n\nFor starters, if you have never lived in Alaska, you would be in for a shock. It is a very expensive place and has some very cold weather. \n\nGetting a job on a fishing boat has always been difficult because most deckhands are friends of someone connected with the industry. Also, commercial fishing in Alaska is one of the most dangerous jobs anywhere. There are a number of people injured and killed working in this industry. I personally have lost friends who drowned when their boat sank. \n\nBesides sinking's, death and injury are caused by drownings, being crushed by machinery, falls from docks and asphyxiation from carbon monoxide or Freon coolant. Crab boats have the worst record and salmon fishing was right behind them.\n\nOn the average, fishing boat owners/skippers do not like to hire people from out of state who have not have previous experience, but some deckhand jobs, usually experienced, are listed on the State job site at:\nhttp://www.labor.state.ak.us/esd_alaska_jobs/\n\nJobs that offer a % of the catch earnings are a gamble. You can come out very rich, or very poor at the end. Depends on how good the skipper is and how much luck you have.\n\nA note about the work. Besides being dangerous, it is very hard and physically challenging. During runs, sleep deprivation is common until the holds are full or the run over. Be prepared to work your tush off. Not for the faint of heart <g>\n\nIf you really are serious about this kind of job, the best advice I can give is to move to Alaska, to one of the fishing areas. Spend a year and get to know people. \n\nOther Alaska job help can be had, for free, from:\n \nAlaska Job Center Network\nhttp://www.jobs.state.ak.us/\n\nAdditional Info: cookiemonster, you can email me at: \nswguardian-alaska@yahoo.com\n\nNote: this email is a disposable address and will be eliminated after cookiemonster contacts me and I send my real address privately.

When you arrive to Alaska just go 100m north,after that go 3km west.There you'll see a polar bear without an ear.If he is standing you should go 906.7m east,but if he is not-it's a sign that the gold has been moved to another location...Ok,I'm tired of typing.\n\nReally,what gold?!And if there E V E N  exsist gold and if we even know where it is,don't you think that we'll probably go after it by ourselves?!
