I can’t even imagine doing that trip and not being able to stop and take pictures. What a bummer and I’m sure such a pain to deal with Covid stuff while making that kind of trip.

Hi! Thank you for reaching out! How exciting and brave! I wouldn’t personally recommend “the heart of Anchorage” to live but just outside of Anchorage is a wonderful place for families. Eagle River is definitely our favorite and close to Anchorage. We recently bought a house in the Valley (Wasilla) because you can get more land and house for the price but it’s a little further into Anchorage. Many people still commute from here in Wasilla, I personally find it a tad too far. Are you familiar with cold climates or from a warmer state? We have had zero negatives so far and find Alaska to be an absolute blessing to our family.

They are crossing into Canada, so it is their business. Otherwise, go a different route to Alaska, such as swim the Pacific ocean. As a Canadian, I stand by the Canadian Border Patrol and the Canadian government in having standards with regards to guns, particularly gun happy Americans. Keep your guns in your country. If you don't like it, stay the hell out of Canada

there are tons of guns in Canada, difference is only criminals have them

I don't how Americans could not like it?

Yup! To get good poutine you have to go to Montreal or any road side chip truck in Quebec! That gravy has to be boiling hot and if you can try a cheese curd, they have to "squeak" when you bight them... they are fresh!

Thank you for watching!

And you would probably be denied entry. But that would probably be a good thing for all of us. Generally speaking the equation is Border crossing + Attitude = Entry Denied.

And you can swim to Alaska then.

I am going to stick up for the Canadians on this one, I had the same attitude as you did when I first moved to Alaska. short story, An American cop and his family went to Calgary for the stampede , four men approached his car and he panicked and looked for his gun that he did not have (Thank God ) because he said he would have shot them , only to find out they were just giving free tickets to his Family to go to the stampede, they do not come close to the gun crime in the USA , the people are very friendly like that and you need to check that attitude at the Border. Only the cops carry hand guns in Canada and registered collectors, they hunt with rifles. So it is their business if your traveling threw their Country , just like ours, rules are rules. And I like it to be honest, we should have done the same thing 30 years ago. Why do you think I moved ? Tired of gun fights every night in my neighborhood.

@@arrow-lo7jf i remember that one in the news, he was a cop somewhere in Florida

They ask for the receipt because you said you own a gun & the receipt is proof you actually do not have with you. He could’ve had you empty everything out of the van & trailer to search for it. (BTW Americans did that to our family in 1965-night time with 5 kids, a dog, a tent trailer and station wagon. Mom was NOT impressed! They didn’t open the trailer but mom and dad had to repack the car, in the dark with a toddler & 4 kids & dog. Us kids weren’t “cling ons” either. I fear for that every time we cross over!)

🤪It would be so nice if it was the same! Definitely made it challenging for me (Mikhael).

Then try to drive to Akaska without driving through Canada then.

Don't bring your handguns here.

The American border guards will ask the exact same question to Americans going into the U.S. ,

You just tell the border agent that and see what happens. You are not in Kansas anymore Toto... There is no requirement to let anybody in.

We don’t want the same problem with our southern border as you have , And it just happens the United States is our south border keep Canada great !

Yep Don't bring the handguns here.

When you cross the border in either direction you are applying to enter another country and either country has every right to search interrogate, detain or deny entry, crossing is a privilege not a right

@@BradFalck-mn3pcYeah, we know that.

@@igaluitchannel6644so then you understand your point was erroneous.

@@marcbrunelle7562 You'll have to explain that one.

@@igaluitchannel6644 Once going through custom, i could clearly see the guy's screen, i was totally surprised at the amount of information that came up on me. They may ask you some question but they actually already know the answers to them. If someone lies or become combative, the question for him is "should i let this person with this type of attitude in ?". Like you said it doesn't matter where the gun is, the thing that matters is if you are truthful about it or not

It really is though! Awe how cool.. South Australia is on the bucket list ❤️

Thank you for watching! Australia is a bucket list travel place :)

@@offgridfaithak Peyto Lake is much nicer than Lake Louise, and I still like Lake Louise !! 😉

We are so thrilled you’re here! We will definitely have to check out some of those too. It’s been a wild ride the last 8 months. Such an extreme type of place to live but it has been such an experience.

@@offgridfaithak Oh it would be. A different rythmn of life. But it is also rewarding experience too. The community is big up that way and that's wonderful. What a stunning area you all have settled into!! Looking forward to more of your adventures

It has happened so much. Seriously, the kids will just pop over anywhere they see ice or fresh snow and start eating it. ALL.THE.TIME.
