People used to say, “That’s something I always wanted to do!”, when they heard about our living aboard and cruising on a boat. I used to always say, “Why not try it?”, “What’s the worst thing that can happen? You hate it, so you go back to living on land.”.
If you can do it and it’s something you always wanted to do, why not? You may find bliss or you may discover six months of darkness and -80 degrees is not your cuppa tea. At least you’re not sitting in a rocking chair at 90 saying, “I wish I had...”
Spent 3 years in Fairbanks. -60F long cold winter but a dry cold. Along the caost much better but a wet cold. I loved the place but even my doctor said the best thing is to have an open-ended ticket out of AK for either depression or any major surgery as AK doesn’t attract the best of anything except folks on the lam. I love Alaska! I hunted and fished to my heart’s content but ya gotta have something to live buy since it’s expensive, dark and cold. I suggest Kodiak or Sika. Everyone in AK is a lot friendlier than in CONUS and there aren’t as many women. Hell, even the fat girls can afford to be picky...and they are! I love Alaska!
