UNBOXING ALASKA: What It's Like Living in ALASKA
Переглядів 260,148
3 роки томуDoes everyone in Alaska live in a cabin?
Does everyone in Alaska carry bear spray?
And is everyone in Alaska kinda like you and me?
We’ll go over all of this, plus so much more everyone. So, grab a smoked salmon bloody mary unplug your car and let’s get ready to skidaddle. We’re gonna unbox the state of Alaska.
Look at that fishing boat. He’s gonna get a big ole’ haul here boy. Cod, Halibut, crab, and of course all the different types of Salmon you can think of. There are six species of Salmon caught in Alaskan waters, and fishing is a $12.8 billion dollar industry in this state. 5 billion pounds of fish are caught in Alaska every year, and Alaska accounts for 60% of all commercial fishery production in the USA.
Of course fishing is a big deal here. I mean this state has more shoreline than all other 49 states combined. And fish have been a big part of the Alaska culture, since, well Alaska wasn’t even Alaska. Like when it was just all indigenous people. Living off the land has always been a fabric of the life here in our 49th state.
But more on the importance of fish later. I mean Alaska is a lot more than just fish, snow, trees, guns, crude oil and weed. It’s full of natural wonders, natural resources, and, there’s actual cities here, too. And it’s not ALL a frozen wasteland peopled by rednecks with moose kill in their pickups and ice in their beards. And not EVERYONE lives in a cabin. In fact, hardly anyone here lives out in no man’s land.
To get a real understanding of this state, we should kinda of check out all the different areas and places to live here to see what it’s really like in The Last Frontier.
This is Alaska. Now at first glance, you’ll see that just about everyone and everything of note is down in the lower part of the state. That’s because it’s much warmer down there for one, and it’s closer to the water. There are LARGE parts of this state where a human hasn’t even stepped foot.
Let’s start up here in the FAAAR North.

Nick, FYI, Mt Mackinley was not the original name of the mountain. It never was. You said "it used to be called Mt Mackinley. No it wasn't. Alaska was and still is inhabited by indigenous people, who for centuries named it "Denali". The Kuyukon people referred it as Denali until some white foreign gold prospector changed to Mt Mackinley ( former US president) without taking to account the history and culture of the mountain.

Been in interior Alaska for 23 years. Grew up in Arizona. Alaska is tough. But worth it. Am I tired of the 9 month long winters of snow and ice and darkness? Uhhh sure. Am I ready to live on some tropical oasis?? Uhhh of course. Am I proud to be an Alaskan? Definitely. Have I lived in a cabin with no heat all winter long at -65 indoors and out? Yes, I have. Have I encountered Grizzlies? Yes, of course. Did I have dogs sleep with me and save me from vears and break through ice trying to get to me and eat out of my mouth so carefully not to bite my lips? Yes to all those. Have I got frostbit? Yeah. Have I ran a dog sled? Yes. Have I been in car accidents because of the icy roads? Yes. Have I burned firewood countless years as only heat source? Yes.....have I raised a son through it all? Yesss! Would I trade it in for 23 years of simple living somewhere else? Not a chance.

TTundergrizzly you probably eat nails for breakfast... without any milk and I’d bet even a hearty breakfast of nails would run your wallets stomach pretty empty. All jokes aside you’ve really lived/are living a full life there’s a lot too say about that especially now, simplicity can go so far instead of the question being “what’s going too entertain me today” to “what will I eat/survive today” puts things into perspective real quick, it’s good too hear that Alaskans, who are still Americans, are keeping the American independence mentality alive, just like Nick said.

If we didn't have such deep roots here in SoCal, we'd be very tempted to move to a place like Juneau. We saw more "eye candy" in that one Alaska cruise than we saw in the previous 3 cruises to the Caribbean. The glaciers, the whales, and the eagles were just beauty to behold.

If you want to move to Alaska, like nick says, you need to have a plan. In other words, you need to be hired by a company up here before coming here to Alaska. You may also want to have a portable translator with you that can help you communicate with the locals. Yes I am currently working here in Alaska in the seafood industry out in the aleutian islands. Housing and food is provided by the company. So its easy to save up your money here. There are lots of eastern europeans here I work along side with, like Serbians, Macedonians, Ukrainians, etc. And yes 80% of Alaska is only accessible by plane or boat. Most of the islands out here has no alcohol available. Or there is, but you would have to buy the stuff underground in the black market, which means having to know someone, and it can cost hundreds of dollars for even a small pint of whiskey, so there is really no point. But overall I have found Alaska, to be very gorgeous and peaceful.

@michaelcaprio311 3 роки тому
I sure hope that whatever mining companies that do end up excavating the land they put it back just how they found it, working with nature instead of against her could be life or death/make a huge difference in curving climate change. By the way Great Big Stories (which unfortunately the channel shut down, but has its videos still posted) in the town of UnAlaska, Alaska there’s a bald eagle problem and they eat the fish when the fishing boats come from a haul, harass U.S. postal workers, people trying to go to the U.S. Post Office, and hang out mostly at the dumpster. I understand that Alaska/any other state/company’s/corporations need revenue too stay alive BUT all that I’m saying is everyone should respect the land/nature and then use the land as needed, as an example on Discovery’s Gold Rush series yes the rag tag of miners/machine operators would work there asses off but would get 2 jars of gold and the land would be gutted. My point being We have 1 planet let’s take care of Earth because Earth is all We have despite what we’re told about Mars/the moon. Also We must confront our problems and not let them fester becoming worse over time and profit/benefit from the problems just look at the homelessness/opioid/heroine/mental health/class warfare problems they must be solved not ignored at. Btw I’m from the Midwest specifically the Chicagoland area.

Another wonderful video from my fellow Carolina dude. :) I prefer to be called Alaskan over American :) we consider it to be a different country lol. The Northern lights are the most beautiful thing you will ever see btw, totally worth it.

One part of Alaska from the Southeast most point to the farthest extent of the Aleutians is like going from Jacksonville, FL to San Francisco, CA. It’s bigger than the next three largest states(Texas, California & Montana) combined. I remember that basketball tournament up there called the Great Alaska Shootout.

Denali mountain might as well be another world. We're currently in the middle of summer, and yet at it's peak, it's -6°F right now. In the winter it almost gets as cold as dry ice (-109°F). It is always, and perpetually, freezing. It's basically like you're on Pluto.

My grandson lives there. I want to go visit so bad. It's already snowing a little where they are. I'm in NW Indiana and it's still pretty nice here. They don't have a very long summer. They really enjoy it and do lots of outdoor activities when it's nice. It looks so beautiful.
