I’ve worked on the pipeline since 2008 and it’s a great job with great pay BUT!!!…. You will miss birthdays, anniversaries and holidays but if you have a strong faith based marriage it’s a pretty good gig.

Yes you will miss half of a normal life with family. I started up there in 1979. We stayed in camps with the bathrooms down the hall. We only had one moral phone in our camp that was limited to calls of 10 minutes. . I was a well logging tech in the 80s and in the 90s I started working in communications doing remote communications for exploration wells. I worked the pipeline doing communications for 15 years ending in 2013. I’ll never go back. The money isn’t what is used to be. In the 80s it was easy to make 70-80 grand a year which with inflation that is the equivalent of $200 grand today.

Yes, take us shopping at the store! The MickeyD's cost comparisons were fun :) And, that sounds like some great pay, yet not sure how the living conditions would affect the psyche for the long haul. Safe travels, and good luck with the try-outs.

My boyfriend currently works at Red Dog mine and has been on a 4x2 schedule. We have a 3 year old and it’s so so hard for her when he leaves. Momma works from home and daddy goes away to work. It is rough saying goodbye so often and for so long but we appreciate all he does for us and huge respect for all the guys that work in the mines and oil fields, it’s not a glamorous job but so thankful they do it❤️

So happy for Evelyn. In my heart I feel Audrey way in the background wishing she had a talent that got so much attention, at least in the vlogs. Of course Garrett is simply cute. I'm sure God has blessed Audry with loads of gifts, probably some wonderful spiritual gifts.

Enjoyed your vlog. Don't listen to all the silly/hurtful comments. You are a great family. People just love to try to create drama. It's like they have to make every UKposts family channel a reality TV drama or something. How can they really know what your dynamic is like? You only post the highlights etc...

When we walked into the store in Prudhoe Bay the first thing we saw on the shelves were hammers that were made in a factory 7 miles from our home which is about 4000 miles from there. We also met a young man who arrived on his motorcycle. He had just completed a trip from the southern tip of South America.

Anxious to hear if Evelyn made the team. I truly believe that she did since I think she is great at what she does. I was impressed with her skills before she even started taking gymnastics. That was quite interesting seeing the work camp sleeping arrangements. Glad they are fed well. I would love to see the store in that area. So glad to see the vlog this evening. I was quite concerned that one of you might have been sick.

I was stationed in Alaska for about 5-6 years back in the very early 70's. Loved it and did not want to leave but the wife hated it, so, naturally we left.😁 The pipeline was in progress at that time and a good friend worked there for 2 years. Made great money but the work schedule was grueling. Looking forward to seeing some of the changes that have taken place since 1976.
