Рік томуMost American big cities have become more difficult over the last few years due to an increase in crime and homelessness. Some families have decided to leave it all and start anew. Join me as we meet a family from Philadelphia that decided to move to Alaska to start at a new life living off the grid.

@earthshipempire Рік тому
We were here for alot of the below zero temperatures last year. we leave so I can take care of my In-laws, and so my son can have some memories with them. They're are not mobile and need assistance. They cannot fly here to visit due to their age. when I go back I'm mainly cooking, cleaning and helping them get up and down, running errands. I had to build them a mother-in-laws suite in their house for the caretakers. Moving 6,000 miles away takes time & money. We're leaving the country to afford the medical treatments to have another child. The "True alaskan" talk is hilarious to me bc I take ice baths for pleasure.

We left the city and spent 12 years off-grid in the rainforest. This is all very familiar. Interesting neighbors (from scientists to tweakers), fresh food (our kids used to eat directly from our plants; not even picking with their hands), no decent grocery store for miles, free thinkers who can agree to disagree, thriftin' at the dump, weird crime (someone down the road from us had their HOUSE stolen); all of it. 😂 We're in a town now, for various reasons, but I definitely miss a lot about this way of life, and we still talk about eventually going back to off-grid living.

Man, I couldn’t agree more with this couple. I grew up in the punk/metal group. Literally 98% of my friends, ex-band mates are completely lost in everything they’ve been fed. These were some of the most interesting and intelligent people I knew. These days they seem so lost and incapable of independent thinking. Love these videos bud. I really appreciate them.

Sounds like you (and the peoople in this vid) chose the wrong friends. There is still so much good metal/punk out there. It's just harder to find and not mainstream. Give it long enough and the losers will leave, and the true metalheads will remain. Don't give up on the cause! \m/

My husband retired and we bought a 2.5 acre property and went off grid. It’s been like a huge learning curve, and my favorite saying is, “For every solution, there becomes another problem.” But get it done and when you get in bed that night absolutely exhausted(and stinky because your cistern ran out of water so a nice warm shower is out), you think, “Wow, I accomplished something today.” No feeling like it. We have made it through our first winter, are quickly approaching our second and we are ready to be snowed in for a bit. After a long hot summer of pushing to get needed projects finished it’s time for a break. Wah hoo!

I was with them until I found out that they bail out and go to Turkey in the winter. They're just summer people, dabbling in the Alaska experience. I've lived in Maine year round for 35 years, and we have real winter here. Not as intense as parts of Alaska, but plenty tough. We call these people snowbirds. I have neighbors like them. San Francisco in the winter, Maine in the summer. Nice enough people, but city folk at heart. Until it drops to 20 below, and the wind howls, and the snow banks up against your cabin, and the power (if you are on the grid) goes out for days, and the car won't start, you do not know what winter is like. Alaska in the winter can be considerably harder than that. 40 or 50 below outside Fairbanks, but plenty of people do it. These are bright, interesting, intelligent people, but they have no idea what they are in for, if they intend to live year round in Alaska. It'll be an education.

I can kinda relate to this. I live in sweden and the landscape looks pretty much the same with bears, wolfs, mooses etc. I don’t live in a hut though but in a real house but it’s way out there. I like the calm of the thick coniferous forest. Btw he’s right, mosses do kill people and dogs by stomping them to death. It’s very uncommon but it happens, they are especially agressive if they have a calf near by. Oh and i’m a heavy metal guitarist myself. Rock on 🙂🤘

I’ve seen and experienced many different types of people, enclaves, cultures, countries, religions, etc. and for some reason this Alaska series is in my top 3 places you’ve traveled. I’ve always been intrigued by Alaska and the people but the variation in the way of lifestyle in Alaska is such a dream of mine to experience. What brought everyone there, the communal feeling Alaska has that many other states lack is all so enjoyable to watch and hopefully 1 day I’ll get to experience.
