I really wanna know what it's like to live in Alaska but I don't want to take the risk and move there

>>53597446
I've been there. If you don't work in the outdoor, commercial ial fishing, or oil industry, there's nothing to do but drink. Natural parts are beautiful, the cities and trailer parks are trash covered heaps.

>>53597446
Really low taxes afaik.

Heroin addicts

>>53601580
interesting thanks

>>53597446
Grandpa used to live up there. Moved down to Washington because he couldn't stand the summers any more.

SHADOW MOSES...

Alaska should have its own flair here kek

>>53602008
don't they pay people to move there?

There's this one town where everyone just lives in a single apartment complex, and it includes a grocery store and school and other shit so nobody ever has to go outside and face the cold

>>53605241
Shit, do they? Sign me up senpai

>>53597446
They should really give us the panhandle

>>53605241
You get a check every year which is tied to the stock market. (Last year's was $2072)

Is that a Finnish Mosin?

>>53597446
i'm specifically interested in what goes on in those little western islands. what is life like on st. paul island or little domede?

>>53601531

That's cursive, a dead form of writing.

>>53605442

You get something like a tax rebate from the oil companies for living there.

However if you ever move away from Alaska you have to pay it back.

M39's seem to be quite present in Alaska. That native woman in Life Below Zero hunts with one and now this. I'm kinda jelly.

>>53605594
Yep.

>>53605669
Nothing happens there and it's a miserable place.

They pay you to be a resident

>>53602008
I lived there for 8 years, not consecutively though. I was a kid so I can't answer questions about jobs.

>>53605669
Literally nothing. The Japanese occupied one of the islands for a little bit in WWII.

what are the most beautiful places in alaska? i'd like to visit one day

>>53605971
sarah palins vagina
you ll never see it
you ll never see any vagina

>>53605971
Seward is my favorite place, good camping and really neat landscape on the drive there too. Denali/Mount McKinley is quite nice looking and you can see it from Anchorage. The whole state is beautiful except when the snow first melts

I don't recall what month the snow usually melts, but you'll want to wait for a while after that for it to evaporate, as the mosquitos are horrendous

>>53605945
Where did you live? Does anchorage provide enough entertainment as a city to make living in Alaska bearable?

>>53606077
>I don't recall what month the snow usually melts

I take it that when it snows in Alaska, it sticks around for quite a while?

check out this book. maybe some of you might like it.

The best sights to see in Alaska are actually relatively close to Anchorage, which is convenient if you plan on visiting.

>>53606113
I lived in Anchorage for 4 years and Fairbanks for another 4. Anchorage is a fairly decent metropolis I think, but that might not be enough for someone used to larger American cities. Fairbanks is a shithole

>>53606135
Yes, and it starts in the fall. I checked and it melts in like April

>>53597446
More murders than you can shake a moose at.

Seriously, like 83% of killings go unreported.

thanks, friends

>>53597446
I always wondered is it basically mad max there?
I mean legal weed, no sun or 30 days, and the police can't cover the whole state since it's mostly wilderness.
they must do some crazy shit to elect sarah palin

>>53606208
I've never actually lived in a city so I wouldn't know

How bad do you have it with the mosquitoes? It's pretty horrible in here especially if it rains a lot.

>>53597980
Holy shit, I fucking hate mosquitoes

Remind me never to go to Alaska

>>53597446

Lots of earthquakes also eagles.
