Watching some of the grocery prices and living on Northern Vancouver Island I realized a lot of stuff was cheaper than we can get it for!😅 Americans sometimes don't believe just how expensive canada can be! :)

Was happy to share with my best friend.🙂

I live in a small country town just outside the major Canadian city I was born and raised in. My current residence is about a 10-15 minute drive to the city and all it has to offer but on the other side, I'm out in the peace and quiet of the country. I think that in a former life I was a country person

Remote Alaska? Still have roads to Anchorage. Remote Alaska is only snow machines, boats or small aircraft. Now granted Glenallen is a good drive from Anchorage but not that remote

you have problem mice come in in witer?

Thank you, very interesting i would have moved to Alaska when i was younger, but not now im to old. you need to be very fit to survive out there

And. Where do u got the skirts!? Please do tell! Love them.

You have freezers… is there a reason you dk t use a regular fridge? We packed up and left the city (CA) 3 years ago. To a rural community in north Idaho! It is different of course. But worth it! You give me inspiration! Mid 50’s but living the dream.

Girl, you are looking VERY stressed. This was a well done video. I like the concerns & explanations, forthrightness. Good luck. I'm rural, but on Vancouver Island and things are quite a bit simpler...Not necessarily cheaper, but simpler.

You can have it, this is too early for snow. Hope to not see it here in Wisconsin until December

Love your video. Question ..why is the crab so expensive there??. Crab is cheaper here in AZ! Or was that just a weird special crab lol

We pay way more in Kelowna BC than you have to pay. Try visiting here, groceries for 2 about $1,400 a month, we also don't eat much beef, eggs are $8.00 or more a dozen, butter $9.00 at grocery store😮. Litre of coffee cream $6.00

Me, too. So sick of the rat race.

Yes, but are you happy?

I am 78 and don't know a lot about Alaska but whenever I meet someone who just moved from Alaska to the Idaho Panhandle, I am usually told, "You were in Alaska when Alaska was Alaska." I was in Alaska near Noyes Island, west of Ketchikan as a 9-year old boy where my dad worked on a fish-buying scow. Living on San Juan Island in Washington, I named my much older brother's newly constructed 44-foot troller. I wanted to go north with him that summer but my mom forbid it due to the danger. In 1962, the skipper decided to go north on his then remodeled now purse seiner. I got out of high school for the summer preparing to go north with family for the salmon season. We drove north in a 1957 Chevy station wagon. We slept in a canvas tent, four adults and a dog. The bugs were so bad that we had to cook our meals inside the tent. Altogether we drove on 1500 miles of gravel. We saw road signs reading, "one killed here" or 5 killed here". every so often. Ice cream cones were made from canned milk and each village had its own generator for power. We saw animals along the way, big lakes, Canadian mountains. We stopped for a bit in Anchorage and then drove to Seward on the Kenai Peninsula. There my dad, cousin, and I boarded "The MV Pat" and stored our gear in the forecastle, pronounced foksile. While there in the Seward harbor, we watched the July 4 Marathon Mountain Run where hikers run and walk up a 2000 foot mountain with the first one back down winning $2500, a lot of money in 1962. Some died on this run. We spend parts of summers in Prince William Sound, seeing ghost towns, whales, bears, eating one--yuck. Bears eating seafood not good tasting. Saw sea lions on the rocks numbering in the thousands. I would fish on shore muskeg lakes for trout. Saw salmon swimming in a stream so thick you could almost walk across their backs as they headed for spawning grounds upstream. Waterfalls and glaciers and snow covered mountains in July. After three season in Prince William Sound (That was where the later Valdez oil spill was.), our next 4 seasons was to be in Southeast Alaska, The Alaska Panhandle. Before I began that summer I volunteered to fly up early so I could work, on our boat trolling 50 miles offshore in the Gulf of Alaska. One day the wind came up and we headed ashore to Lituya Bay, where a few years before a giant tsunami had destroyed a fishing boat and taken off all the trees to the 400-foot level. While coming to that place the wind was blowing 70 mph. I had been sea sick for several days but I lost that seasickness and got scared. Inside the bay all was calm so we anchored and I went ashore to try gold panning in a stream. I felt safe with my new 30-30 but didn't feel that way when I look upstream some 50 yards and saw a mother brown bear standing on its back legs sniffing the air. Anyway I made it back to my skiff and onto our fishing boat. I never tried that again. In Southeast, we came up close to an ice berg in order to get some ice for our cooler, caught lots of salmon, saw gold speckled throughout an old assay office in a ghost town (Gold was then $34 an ounce.), collected lots of rocks and minerals there and had to store them in my bed the rest of the season, caught two sharks in our net, read at a place where the annual rainfall was 212 inches, saw schools of salmon numbering in the ten thousands, would cast a treble hooked line across such a school and get our dinner. And gradually we would fish until we reached Ketchikan. We would then travel down the Inside Passage, my brother and I, to our home on San Juan Island, having more very exciting adventures on the way down. I would then go back to college. While in Alaska, we ate cold storage apples, canned whole milk, canned butter, lots of Spam, and a short phone call from Wrangell to my bride in Friday Harbor, Washington, cost $70. If you can ever visit Alaska, do it!

Are you really all alone?? No man or friend or relative?? Whose filming? 😮

I've looked a few fimes at proces up there, it has been so unbelievable... Crappy homes for over $350-400k!! All part of the plan..turns my stomach! How far are you from the hospital?

Perfect ;)
