Been a nice summer this year with temps up into the 70's; shirtsleeve
wx. Sorry the igloo melted better get a tent - really?
Lots of misinformation (myths) about Alaska as a frozen
wasteland. So don't move up here - it's uncrowded and too quiet -
you would not like it - stay in LA, SF, Chicago or NYC.
I should have locked the gate when I arrived 34-years ago :-)

Wow! My young wife wants us to move to Alaska. Are you
"homesteading" on that USFS land? How far do you have to drive your
sled dogs to get supplies? Are there any downsides to living in
Alaska? Can I get broadband Internet service in the wilderness? Are
you snowed in during the winter? Ancient minds want to know the
downside because I can only afford to move once more at my age. My
wife has timber harvesting, animal husbandry skills, and we both
know how to garden.
Oh, do I need an exit visa from the lower forty-eight?

I left all that behind in 1979 when I moved north. Better luck
finding such property here in Alaska.
I moved from LA to a town of 75 at the end of a 16-mile dead-end gravel road.
I harvested 17,000 board feet of FREE timber for my self-built
two-story log house (USFS land).
Firewood was just go get it - no permits!
Where I currently live, about 100 miles west of that little town,
there is no city gov't, no building permits, no convenants, no
zoning, nada! I put up my two 50-foot towers and a 16-foot dish,
built a 12x40 foot shed, installed a six dog kennel for my sled
dogs, and installed a back driveway without intervention by gov't.
Not likely I will ever move back to "America". Can't afford
to. Got no state income or sales tax. No property tax for
seniors. And the state gives both of us checks just to live here
(Alaska Permanent Fund).
A hot day is 70F! Never have to water the lawn.
We paid $170K for our 3-bed, 2-bath 12-year old home on 1-3/4 acres.
shhhhh - I didn't tell you!

You got that right! It's becoming almost impossible to find a new home
without CC&Rs.
We're planning a final move in the next few years, possibly to
KH6-land. My two challenges to the realtor: no CC&Rs and no HOA.
