I love KY.

It's so hard in so many ways, but there is just a majesty and awe I experience here, a feeling like I'm in this undiscovered wilderness on the edge of the world and I'm the only one that knows how beautiful it is. The feeling you get when it's the middle of the night and it's bright enough you can see the mountains and everything is quiet except the robins calling to one another. The feeling of a warm fire on a cold night. The feeling of finally catching the northern lights or that mountain that's been covered by clouds for weeks. Sometimes cruel, but always magic. Always bigger than you.

Nicely said.

Ditto to all you said Mick. I have lived on the Kenai for the last 20 years. Moved up from Kansas City. I had my own computer business in Kenai and there is no way I could have done that in KC. Too much competition. We homeschooled our kids and raised them here as well. Great community of people that have been very good to us and my kids had a growing up experience that didn't involve mindless video games inside. It was fishing and hunting in season and getting out testing your metal and learning to use your mind and abilities. Today they are hard working responsible adults and well grounded. Winters do get long if you don't like Winter. But Alaskans love to party and socialize during the Winter so that really helps pass the time. Alaska is not everyone's cup of tea, It had to grow on me for sure but I can say in spite of the fact that for the first 5 years here I was ready to go back to KC, Alaska has been very good to my family and I have grown to love it here. Oh and yes, "Adventure is her but to get to it is expensive. You have to have the right toys. I have never seen so many big trucks, pulling trailers with two or more sleds or wheelers in season and also pulling huge mega expensive RVs to boot. People spend big bucks up here for that stuff and if you really want to do some serious hunting or fishing, be prepared to shell out mega bucks for fly ins and guide services. All that being said, I work in the oil and gas industry now and plan to retire in the next three years and we plan to head back to the lower 48 for all the reasons you mentioned, especially to make the dollar stretch farther. We are looking at Idaho because after 20 years here, we couldn't do the Kansas City Metro area. So, in the mean time we plan to do some Alaska vacationing and get to some of the stuff we couldn't afford to do early on before we move on. We may just see ya when we drive back down from Valdez. If we see ya out and about we will be sure to say hi. You are doing great son, you got what it takes to make a go of it here and you will be all the better for it where ever you end up. YOU will always have Alaska in your heart. Even if you move back to Michigan one day, hang on to your place up there. you just never know. God Bless. John V. =

That was a very honest viewpoint. You are young and clearly embracing all that your homeland has to offer. Thank you for sharing your journey with us . I look forward to your videos .

Sounds reasonable. Have you ever watched Simple Living Alaska? It's about a young married couple who are building their homestead. They don't give their exact location, but they're about an hour out of Fairbanks. They have a garden, chickens, a large work shed. They build everything themselves (except the cabin that they live in). They hunt, fish and garden and live off of that. You'd probably enjoy watching their videos.

I had a similar thought wishing I could trade some of my NC heat and humidity for his natural ac(cooling)!!!

I live in WVa in the mountains and it's a 30 mile round trip for me also to shop for food or gas. And our prices aren't quite as high as there but nothing is cheap! My unsolicited advice would be NOT to buy a lot of that junk food stuff in the stores. It's overpriced, stale and filled with unhealthy ingredients, preservatives and chemicals that will weaken your overall health and immunity. Not to mention empty out your money jar!!!!! 😅 Learn to make healthy alternatives at home....even on your one burner or stovetop. Try to do at least 3 errands each trip out so you are not wasting gas. Write a list so you don't forget. Also, combining three trips into one could save you 2/3rds of your gas cost! And not lower your quality of life in any way. I do often and save myself time, money and aggravation and free myself up for more fun experiences! 🎉

Food is definitely expensive up there, but those same homes would cost $750,000 where I currently live. I grew up in Alaska; like you, I consider it my homeland. I still hope to move back there in a couple years.

Bless you for bringing the realities of life in Alaska to your fans. Most of us barely make it here with the costs of living here in the lower 48, and your grocery store footage would give someone a great incentive to grow their own food IF you had a longer growing season. You’ve shared some of your hardships, but this video really drives it home that anyone considering relocating to Alaska needs to take an honest look at the pros and cons. I subscribe to another channel by a young couple who live off grid in Alaska. (Simple Living Alaska) They don’t sugar coat anything about their daily lives, and they share their mistakes, too. Right now they’re trying to get a garden established, and just trying to moose proof the fence was a major undertaking. Yes, you make most of it look fun, but in a lot of ways, you were raised for this. Both of your parents have KZread channels dedicated to off grid simple living. I’m sure you’ve learned a LOT from them-for example, the design of your outhouse looks familiar to fans of both channels. You also have the advantage of youth and good health, and trust me that those are BIG advantages compared to the toll that just living can take on a person who is older. Like many of your viewers, I’m not as limber as I was thirty years ago. There’s a popular saying that if I’d have known that I would live this long, I might have taken better care of myself!

lol. I love my 300gallon saltwater fish tank, but you’re right mick, it’s not for the faint of heart! It’s alot of work to maintain a mini ocean 😂

I lived in Anchorage for 4 years (quite a few years ago), and absolutely loved it. Alaska is the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen/lived, and I’ve been around the world. Having moose and black bear in our yard was fantastic. The long winters didn’t bother me too much. I know it was very hard on others, and I wouldn’t enjoy it nearly so much at my more advanced age now. 😂 Enjoy it! Great videos. Keep up the awesome adventures.

Make a video with outdoor boys. It would be really fun. Like this comment if anyone wants to make this collab happen.

Very fair Mick. I've been to Alaska a couple of times. Whenever I think of going there, I think the of Alaskan adage, "we have two seasons. Winter and construction." Then I think of all the highway dust I sucked in while riding a motorcycle. But it was a great trip. To visit there one experiences the "wildness" whether it is along the coast or in Fairbanks.

Fairly comparable to here in Washington state. Except for food. That's nuts. Almost double.

That’s what I was thinking. His gas price might be a little cheaper but we have longer winter days even if it is -20 with 3 feet of snow in the yard. And Home Depot is only about 135miles round trip for me.

i know the feeling of alaska, 3 years back a group of miners made the trip to anchorage and then over to bethal, alaska, 4 trucks and trailer in all, 1 carried the food, enough food and drinks to last a month, 2 trucks with the equipment needed for the mining and 1 truck for the fuel needed for all the trucks and the equipment to run for at less a month, . your maybe thinking WHY? well in the end of the trip we saved on food, fuel, drinks, and even propane for the trip, over 5000.00 compared to the other group that ended purchasing everything there in alaska, they used 24,000.00 on everything and thoward the end we even were feeding them extra food and drink from our supply. alaska isnt cheap? p.s. all of alaska is a money making deal for travelers to alaska, some come prepared or pay the price,?

I lived in Alaska for 28 years and loved every moment I lived 87 miles from Fairbanks….wonderful….great store Fred Meyers No more then Arkansas

I kind of had those same thoughts in the back of my head Mick. Years & years ago my husband & I were offered a job with Exxon , in the Yukon. Even though the salary was terrific, so were expenses trying to live there, so we opted out. Plus, I hate the cold weather, I would never do well there. I understand all your opinions here! Thank you for being so open about it!

My Uncle has lived in Alaska for 45 yrs. Things would be easier if a real job is had. My Uncle worked so hard and is now enjoying retirement. You can't depend on KZread for a job unless you have another job where you can afford where you're living. If you only depend on KZread, you won't get far. You also need a real job to help you out. Money doesn't fall into anyone's lap. I've worked hard for 39 yrs to get where I am today. I started working at 17. I'll be 57 in Aug. 40 yrs and counting.

Great video and th one thing you have so many looking at moving to Alaska is you have friends there! For someone with no friends in Alaska moving there then I would imagine the winters are even worse becasue of lack of contact with friends. Keep it up!

I think that anyone seriously considering living off grid/starting a homestead really needs to prioritize and research which ocation is best for them. It's really hard to just pack up and move if a place doesn't fit your needs, especially if youve already started to lay down roots, so choosing your home region wisely is super important. In my case, I want to settle somewhere with lush forests and mountians, a milder, humid climate for growing crops, and more rural/small town vibe. I've pretty much narrowed down the northern California/southern Oregon coastal ranges, Olympic peninsula in WA, or blue ridge range in western NC as the best places for me when the time does come to find my own land. I love Alaska but its definitely way too cold and harsh for me. Those who manage to thrive and triumph up there are really made of something else.

Yeah, Alaska is beautiful, rugged, and unforgiving if you're not prepared. I in really easy Florida. Sunshine almost every day. Even when it rains, it is not all day. I love the sunshine, my pool, and the easy way of life. I am not in one of the more populated touristy areas, which suits me fine. But, that easy way of life makes me more appreciative of all that you do, Mick! And gives me more time to watch videos like yours! I can't wait to watch the next one!

Are you planning on staying there all winter this year?

The wife and I took our honeymoon there in 2016 in June. We stayed in Fairbanks for a week and drove to Denali. I absolutely LOVED the lack of population density and the 24 hours of daylight but it sure was nice to head back home after a week. I could live up there, except for the cold.

my son relocated to AK over 25 yrs ago when he was close in age to you Mick.... and one way he beats the winter blues is snow skiing, or surfing Mexico or Hawaii. I had considered moving there myself, but the properties were way above what a retiree could afford.

Beautiful scenery

What a great video to hear Alaska from your point of view. I think the biggest draw back for me would be the distance from family in the lower 48. I had a friend who moved to Alaska after she married. Her dad wrote her a FB post, “Where have you been all my life.” He missed her as she grew older and raised her family. I can relate as a military family member. So make sure you take the time to go back to see family often. But anyway, I enjoyed your realistic viewpoint. I have been in Alaska only once when I went to the North Slope. We flew over Denali. It is a beautiful state.

I’m happy for you Mick and would love visiting but as I get older the long cold winter just doesn’t sound appealing to me! Enjoy your time for however long you decide to live in Alaska! Peace and blessings 🤗
