If you are interested in more on Alaska check out The Outdoor Boys. Luke and his boys travel all around the wilderness of the state, its a fantastic channel with a lot of great videos. Should also look up about the main way to get around there being Bush Planes along with dog sleds as Alaska lacks what the rest of the world calls proper roads but is still a great state i would like the visit one day

I lived in Alaska for three years while we were stationed at Elmendorf AFB now know as JBER. I LOVED it my husband HATED it. We did see the aurora, whales, bear, moose. Moose were literally everywhere. The animal that surprised me the most was the actual size of a porcupine! They are massive! I thought they would be the size of maybe a raccoon... not. I have a lot of great memories of my time there.

In Alaska, everything has to come in by ship or air freight. The state has virtually NO road system. There's only one way to get from one part of the state to another (especially in Winter) and that's by flying. Alaska has the highest percentage of licensed pilots of any state. That's the main reason that the cost of living is so high.

[JoeinAlaska]

I'm an Alaska and Alaska isn't for everyone. The darkness, the cold, and the lack of people can make a long winter.

[rick]

I live in Juneau. Its a rather mild climate compared to the interior of the State. It does rain a lot, and you get a lot of snow, it doesnt usually get arctic cold.

[flattop]

9:01 I don't know about all the trains but there's a couple of them couple lines that are double decker trains and then the top is just a big clear bubble so that you can watch the scenery as you go We did a train trip from Fairbanks down to Denali and the scenery is amazing.

The Southwestern part of Alaska is an island chain, the Aleutian islands, and they stick way way out.

[nancyt]

If you set Alaska down on top of the Lower 48, it would actually touch both the east and west coast of the US. That is how massive it is. I watch a YouTuber from there that went on a road trip up to the arctic in his truck camper. He had to leave his truck running constantly for about 7 days straight (even at night while sleeping) or everything would have frozen and he wouldn’t be able to start it again. It was -40°F, which is also -40°C. He had to be careful not to touch metal if he had to take his glove off for any reason or he would have stuck to it.

[wyllowyck]

As a child, I lived in Alaska. It's cold and harsh. My mother walked three buildings down to get the laundry after a bath, before she got back, her hair was frozen! But it's beautiful.

[MickieBenton-odhr]

I live in Alaska.Life is rough tough and I wouldn't live any where else. I am 74 years old. I HAUL 5 gal. Buckets of water regularly live alone since My husband died but I love it. The greatest thing about Alaska is the independence the beauty and the can do attitude. Live in Alaska and it will change you . We don't want Alaska full buildings and cities if people want more they can move to the lower 48 states.

A friend of mine lived on Port Protection while BBC was making that series but chose not to be a part of it. A good program if you want to get a feel of life there. Since the island is isolated from the mainland, people make due with what they've got. That a bit of talent, skill, and elbow grease, all held together with duct tape, bubble gum, and bailing wire.

[Lisa-dngx]

NOTHING COMPARES TO THE BREATHTAKING BEAUTY OF ALASKA!!! I've been there 4 times, shortest I stayed was 5 weeks & the longest was 3.5 months & almost stayed!! It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL & puts every State in the lower 48 to shame as far as beauty goes!! The sky is so clear you can see Denali from Anchorage & it's 350+ miles away!! I'd want to go

I have family that lives in Alaska my moms side is from their and it is expensive mainly because everything has to be imported to the state, and the more remote you are the more expensive it becomes due to the amount of resources time and money it takes just to get everyday things such as clothes, food, and household items such as toilet paper and soap.

[flattop]

I've spent probably a month and a half to two months in the Fairbanks area, in one of their suburbs North Pole Alaska I was there for a month during one winter 2 weeks during another winter and two weeks during the summer It is an amazing place during the winter you've only got about 5 or 6 hours of light a day during the summer we were there during a time that it doesn't get dark It gets to a point of Twilight but never actually dark It's an interesting place.

The Trans Alaskan pipeline, is a pipeline that carries oil I honestly can't remember exactly where it goes to and from but that pipe is huge When you got people standing next to it they look so small.

[SDGG]

Lived in Fairbanks for 2 yrs and Delta Junction for 1 yr back in the 80s. Loved it but I grew up where we had harsh winters. Absolutely beautiful. Alaska calls out to a lot of people who need to live away from other people. There is a reason why so many people go missing in the state. Our coldest was -58f. That was without any windchill.

[michaeltipton]

I lived in Anchorage for 5 years in the military. It's a pretty good City with most amenities. But winters are long and summers are short. Literally everything has to be barged up so it's like Hawaii, very expensive. BTW the pipeline is to move oil from the arctic down to Valdez to be shipped out by oil tankers.

[Aemery]

We used to live in Alaska. The reason violent crime is so high is mostly DV sadly.

The reason it's so expensive is because almost everything (food, products, etc) has to be flown or shipped in. So it's crazy expensive. Residents do receive a (very very small) stipend for living there, but it doesn't come close to making up for the expense of living there.

[zachslowikowski]

I lived in Fairbanks for a year, winters are very cold, only 4 hrs of light. On the other hand, great scenery (mostly on the coast though) 24hrs of light in the summer, and the best thing of all: getting to tell Texans their state is"cute", as Alaska is 3 times larger than Texas

[glcol]

I was stationed at Eielson Air Force Base for 6 years total, just a few miles from the city of North Pole. Yes, you have to be ready to deal with the cold. We had to plug in our car in the winter; you install a heater on your oil pan/battery and if you forget to plug it in every single day, your oil will freeze solid. It is more beautiful than I can describe, but being dark for several months in the winter can drive you insane. That's the cause of much of the crime; people just lose it after a few months. I used to walk my dog under the Aurora, nothing else compares. I would really recommend a visit if you can, although you have to go in the winter to see the lights.

[savannah]

The pipeline is used to transport oil to the lower 48 states. Salaries are very high, especially if you work in the oil industry.
