I lived in Alaska for about 35 years before we moved out about 15 months ago.
Our son was born there and I couldn't think of a better place to raise children.
But, and this is a huge but, it is very very expensive to live there and buy the toys to enjoy the hunting and fishing. Just the general cost of living around Anchorage is about 30-40% higher than what it is in Colorado. Housing and utilities are off the charts. The bush is even worse. I tell you this only so you can have an idea of the money required to make the move and enjoy what Alaska has to offer.


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.
