Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska I am thinking of moving to Alaska. What will i need?

Do not worry I have My own woman. And I will not share her and that is why the honey bucket.

Just trying to keep some folks from becoming sourdoughs....


sour on Alaska

not enough dough to leave.

My dream is to hunt moose in AK. Has been for a long long time. That dream keeps me alive. Gives me a "Brass ring" of sorts. If I lived there,what would I dream about then? Living in Pennsylvania? God I hope not. I would split the difference and retire to Montana though.

Nothing as drastic as dreaming of living in PA. It's usually more mundane like spending somewhere between a couple weeks and a couple months in a place like this in the dead of winter.

If you are good at something and reliable you can more than make ends meet here. Good auto/boat mechanics can just about write their own tickets. Medical professionals seem to often be in demand. Construction can kill two birds with one stone since it pays and you would have the skills to build your own remote dream home. http://dnr.alaska.gov/mlw/landsale/

Don't bother. I hear Alaska is closed.

You are obviously not listening... so how about a couple charts?

Well, I can't seem to get either of them to C&P... Take a look at the two charts and decide which is the better place to look for work as an untrained hand...

yep Alaska ain't closed but the odds of any swingin dick gettin a job on the slope are pretty slim unless you have an in with someone or a skill set that is in high demand.

Where is the wildlife and fish?

Electronics, any kind.

There is a great shortage of stuff like this in Montana.

You Alaska guys forgot to tell the Op about the yearly oil check!

The pfd check is a piss poor reason to move to Alaska. Do I complain when it shows up? No, but the extra grand is not the reason I stay in Alaska.

Electronics, any kind. That is repair, maintenance, design, build, and update. RF to audio.

I don't think a 1000 bucks would last all year. It might take a little more considering I love to fish and hunt. Always have been captivated by the big Dall Sheep horns.

House in SE. 400k.(not a [bleep]) Good SE do it all boat 100k. Rent in SE 1k plus a month. Working to pay for all this cuts into the hunting and fishing a bit. Remember 90% of the good hunting is not a jump in your pickup and go type of deal here. In all reality if your real reason to be here is to hunt and fish you will be ahead of the game money wise to come up and go with a guide periodically. Our income here would put us in the upper middle class down south , here we are lower middle class in all reality. 3 types of Alaskan households 1 wealthy. 2 broke . 3 broke and in massive amounts of debt trying to take advantage of what Alaska has to offer.

Great personalities, you get past that whole sexual thing...
