You got me with the people density, low taxes and amazing scenery. I'm sold.

Great presentation, love you two for that. I was raised in Anchorage and am a survivor of the 64 earthquake. What a ride that was. Shoveled enough snow to last several life times. Traveled the entire state. It is so emence the land humbles you. Once ya experience Denali, Auroras, long days, long winters, long periods of darkness, deep sea fishing, flying with bush pilots, the land is in your blood forever. I left Alaska for other world adventures, but will never forget my life there.

I live in interior Alaska...moved up 30 years from the lower-48. No sales tax, no state income tax, moderate property tax. We get 12 inches of precip per year most as snow. 2 seasons, winter and summer. Interior Alaska is great for gardening...tomatoes, zuchinni, brocolli, berries, etc. Excellent hunting, fishing, canoeing, rafting, hiking, biking, etc. No traffic jams and an international airport 12 minutes away. Free hunting and fishing license at the age of 60, property taxes reduced by $150, 000 at age of 65 or disabled veteran. Too cold for road salt, so vehicles do not rust out in interior Alaska...common to see pickups from the 1980s-1990s driving around. No traffic...no stop signals the 360 miles from interior AK to Valdez, the 500 miles from interior to arctic ocean. for example.
Our neighborhood is quiet with homes on 1-10 acres, yet friendly neighbors we know well and help each other out.
Four Cons: mosquitoes, sometimes smoke from wildfires in summer
short days of December, long winter.

As a Texan I was like oh please when I heard “the biggest state in the US” but when he put Alaska over the US mainland map I was like okay I better stfu 😂

[kojmas]

Been here 20 years. Love it. Know a lot of people that moved here and then left because they couldn't handle the cold and 6-7 months of snow.

[alaskanmom]

Been here 13 years and love it! This was our last duty station and I can honestly say that this is truly God’s country!

[michaelrowe]

I am 54 years old. I lived in Faibanks from 11 to 21 years old. The one good thing about Alaska I liked was the "Good Semeritan Law." I dont think anyone ever got suid over it, but I remember so many times we were helped by strangers when it was -40 or colder and if we saw a stuck or broken down car we would always help out.

[PheonixStarsx]

Sitting in a cabin hearing the howl of the wilderbeast and wind, the northern lights sparkling the sky , with cups of hot coco and a warn fireplace, HEAVENNNN !!

[LETTYR]

I have lived in AK for 21 years and have loved almost every minute. Now that I am a recent widow, I look forward to getting back to the lower 48, (Somewhere in the western states except CA. ) to be nearer to family.

[georgehanson]

4th gen. Alaskan born in Juneau 1939, mom born Knik 1914. What an experience when I look back. Wouldn't want anything else. Girdwood for 40 years then retired to Paradise, CA.

[firefeethok_tui]

I Spent all my summers in Alaska. Best memories of my life. My dad would take the summer off or camps would close in Kodiak for summer if muddy and we went camping, mining, quading and generally exploring all over. I love that my dad did this with me. He said it was to keep me out of trouble in teh summers since my parents were divorced and my mom worked. It worked. RIP dad. 💕 Im a PA. May e I should come back!

[Dogbertforpresident]

I remember running in Anchorage at 5am in the Army and shocked how my snot froze in my nose. That, my friend, is cold. Lol

[zagnit]

Wow when I saw Alaska laid over the whole country that blew my mind!

[ragnarokgalaxy]

Alaska is my home. Born and raised. Searching videos today on home. You paint a good and accurate picture here. Thank you.

[patriciacobb]

Loved it for thirty years. Now I’m in the South and loving sunshine and warmth

[mandyellis]

AK is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been in my life...it’s absolutely stunning!

[tyruskelebon]

“You don’t leave Anchorage without a full tank of fuel” PFFFT, you don’t leave anywhere without a full tank of fuel, lol

[jakub]

[michealdraconis]

Maybe but sitting on my deck watching the aurora and listening to the wolves singing to me that would be heaven
