Michigan is a good move. Mid Michigan and Into the U.P. there's all small towns. Go into southern Michigan and there's our bigger cities. I love it here in the woods. With the option to go somewhere in the cities for things like....concerts. Me and my G.F. going to grand rapids to see in this moment in concert. And I'm gna propose to her there. Live quietly with the option of the cities. Is how I like it.

The camping, hiking, sight seeing are great. However, you're spot on with your advice. So many people think I'm crazy for leaving becasue all they see are pictures of it in the middle of a hot summer when it's green and beautiful. My response is the same.

I was stationed in Kodiak, AK for two years and I drove up the AL-CAN in May 1995. Yeah, long time ago, but DM is right about everything he has said. If you don't hunt and fish then Alaska probably isn't for you. Hunting and fishing are also seasonal and it's pretty strict. As far as moose go yeah, leave the moose alone. There is a recent news article about a Homer local trying to take a picture of a cow moose that had babies and yes, the person was kicked and died. They were 70 y/o and it was on their own property. Alaska isn't a joke and there are 1,000 ways mother nature can and will kill you if you are arrogant enough to think you can outsmart her. Even if you are an old-school wilderness man all it takes is one bad storm and you're done if you don't prepare correctly. As for me, I have zero intention of living in Alaska ever again because I don't hunt, I don't fish, and I don't drink. Plus the internet goes down a lot. ;) ^ ^ KC

yes...do NOT fuck with moose.

Visited Alaska, Fairbanks in particular, in December and loved it! It did get to -40 F though.

Lived in Dawson City Yukon years ago,remember leaving one morning for Whitehorse in a blizzard, had to keep stopping on the highway so I could see where the road went, it was a wind swept white sheet, no idea where the shoulder of the road was, lol

I spent the winter, spring, and summer of 2022/2023 in the Northwest Territories, basically all the same shit. Having spent plenty of time out in the bush in other parts of Canada, I thought I was mentally prepared - I was not. Being that far north for an extended period of time is fucking wild, for all the reasons DM talked about and more. I think the worst part for me was the darkness, with the light in the summertime being nearly as bad in a way. I was up there for less than a year, but I completely understand why DM wants to get the hell out so badly - I sure as shit couldn't live up there forever.

"I have a motorcycle." - DM

Went to Alaska in the summer first and then another time in the winter for work; everything he is saying here is absolutely truthful and I wish every tourist who wanted to visit would watch something along these lines first before going and dying from a blizzard/petting a buffalo or moose. Not sure where you are planning on moving DM; your state sounds similar to my state in terms of its relationship with nature (cranked up to Australia levels of deadly). Loved my time in Alaska, but I wouldn't put roots down until I spent a full year residing there first. Don't fuck with the wildlife; that rule applies outside Alaska too.

A lot of places are awesome on paper >< good for you buddy. Also thanks for extra info on Alaska, cause i thought i wanted to move there some day haha

moose are no joke. i went backpacking in the canadian rockies a couple times - kootenay and banff, beautiful places! once, back at our guides lodge (the night before some whitewater rafting), my friend and i felt restless...so we took a bit of a walk out to the one road on the side of that mountain. it was mainly just to get away from the girls and talk seriously; there was a lot to discuss, back then. and so it was that we were deep in conversation and thusly did not notice a moose approaching. for whatever reason, it was following the gravel road, grazing. we were looking down into the forest below. it was frankly shocking how quiet it was as it moved, because of its *enormous* size. i only noticed it when it was 50m away, flanking, and it had cut us off from the path back to our lodge...we had no option but to stay still. we both stood in alarm but remained calm, albeit with great unease. the thing surely weighed over 1000lbs - im over 6' tall and this absolute unit was my height *at its shoulder.* we tried to pivot around the side as he closed the gap to maybe ten feet away, almost close enough to touch, but the road was too narrow. no room to maneuver, nowhere to go. i froze as it stopped and raised its head to examine me; i gave myself 50/50 odds of being trampled at that time, but i ever so slowly took out my camera and point-shot a picture anyway (without flash of course), while never breaking eye contact. after an *endless* moment i managed to collect my wits and continued slipping past. it, likewise, continued watching me intently, then ambled away lackadaisically as my friend and i finally reached the path behind the giant creature and put some appreciable distance in between. photos dont do these animals justice - i fully realized the danger beforehand, but its difficult to envision what a moose is physically capable of without seeing one up close and being *forced* to realize that a whole lot of that bulk is pure muscle that could fold you like a cheap card table. going along with the card analogy, anybody who sees one and thinks "im going to pet him!" is quite a few cards short of a full darwinism deck. personally, the only thing going through my head was "i dont want to go in the forever box, exfil, exfil, exfil!" tl;dr beeg moose did me a frighten. thanks for coming to my ted talk, subscribe to my newsletter for more dumb stories.

I like how the moose tonnage raised by a ton every second😂

i'm dying terror-laughing at that clip of the moose in the snow.

As someone who lives in Lapland and has worked as an arctic safari guide for stint, I can attest to this being pretty accurate. However, here we don't let these tourists head out into the wilds alone, but even with experienced guides on longer trips, there are just so many things that can go sideways really fast with one tiny mistake, especially if you are already dead tired

Love these stories, DM

I live in Valdez. Moved from North Pole last year. He is right. It’s nice that Valdez doesn’t get below zero in winter and it doesn’t snow until October, but the downside is it gets more rain than Seattle. And we get 2’ of snow over night. There is still spots of snow in shaded areas and it mid June. North Pole drops to -50 regularly in Jan and Feb. break up starts in April/May and snow falls in September. And during your 3 months of summer, fires start in June.

Yup, always carry an Epirp. Wisconsin, ironically is alot like alaska in some spots.

Northern Minnesota or northern Wisconsin is like Alaska Lite. Great Lakes has good outdoor life, if that’s your thing.

I feel you with the moose. Snowmobiling in Montana they will walk down the packed trails and you don’t dare get too close to them.

The end is terrifying

I can relate to all of this from Scandinavia, but at a much lower and less serious scale. We have moose, but not as big, and not as frequent.

We have stupid tourists that get lost in the mountains without the proper gear and no food, but the wilderness isn't that crazy so they always get rescued.
