I'm so jealous. Our family lived in Anchorage from 1970 to 1999. My husband wanted to retire outside to get away from the winters. He was a police officer for 20 yrs and 10 yrs in Prudhoe Bay before retirement. He passed away in 2007 i've now decided I want to go back home to AK. Been looking on Zillow etc but have decided to come up there next year. I'm thinking the Soldotna area since we once had a place up Funny River Rd and we loved it. I'm in Idaho now where he picked to live....I hate it.
Loved this video...and your saying only one life live it. That's what I want. To live the rest out in my beloved Alaska.❤❤

[kevinwiley]

Thanks for the explanations!! Give those GSD Doggies a good long pet for all of us!!! LOVE them GSD’s. Good Luck with the weather. I hope you get totally in to the cabin before the weather hits.

Hi guys! Really enjoyed learning more about you and your story til now! I’ve been watching from the start when you pulled up to the snow covered driveway back in April! I love your determination and the ability you both have to keep your sense of humour when things are not working out. So important!
Looking forward to tagging along as you work on your property! T. from Ontario Canada!

[charlenegrady]

Good to get to know you both. If I was younger I’d be there too. Good luck with your adventure. Take care from Cape Cod🥰🇺🇸

You both are awesome and you make a great team, I use to live in anchorage back in early 1974 to 1975 and had a blast, the fishing and hunting was great and the scenery was amazing, I love your story and it is inspiring, Love your videos keep them coming

I think I made some comments on your shed building. I have 55 yrs in construction but I am in Alberta Canada. I am happy to help people but by the vid, you have already done it. I don't comment to be critical in a bad way but I do comment to help . Thanks for sharing your stories.😮

New subscriber here. Merry Christmas! I left Florida and moved to Alaska with just me and my two boys (although my youngest son is in the military now). I go back to visit every 6 months to see my Mom, Step-dad, oldest son and grandkids in Florida. Like yourselves, I also miss out on family reunions and holidays. But I love it in Alaska. Best decision I ever made.

[denisewiebrimmer]

Great Q&A. It's nice to get to know you guys better.

[TheSimpleAlaskans]

Great Video. We moved up in 2017 as well. What a wild ride, but totally worth the tradeoff for freedom!

We moved to Homer in 1965 when it was a small fishing town. so we lived through all the changes… now live in Tennessee. But still go up every few years.. so I enjoy seeing all your videos with familiar scenery..

[morganfreeman]

Hello, you are a wonderful couple, I wish you the best and I will continue to see you as long as you are here.

[afjrd]

Thank you for the Q&A as someone who is struggling to make the final decisions on “ the move”I appreciate any amount of information. last August I was on the Kenai peninsula for six days for four days in Homer absolutely loved it .i’ve enjoyed your channel from the beginning.

[chuckhorner]

Extremely informative! You both had so much information to share that at times you shared it simultaneously LOL But you managed to keep it real by correcting one another over misquoted dates and other equally critical minutia. Those veiled criticisms' aside I have nothing but respect for the both of you and how you reached this point in your journey. I await each Vlog release with great anticipation to be able to see your progress toward "getting ready for Winter" If I lived nearby I would come cut down some dead standing and get your firewood supply in better shape. Take care of each other and stay safe!

[gf]

Inspiring stuff! Can't wait to see your garden videos in the future so we can learn from you both.

[roxannecarson]

I like how real and honest you are. You are right, you only live once. I lost money in real estate not being in town and moving to a new area in the mountains, but we have lived every bit of this crazy experience. We have tried to look for something else to capitalize on what we could have made in the up-rising market, but once you find, it’s hard to give up this lifestyle.
Thanks for sharing your journey. Be safe. Get that firewood put up, and enjoy!
Happy New Year!!
