Even tho you save money a philosophy is just sleep outside in Hawaii.. why spend it??? Pay $3/$400 night for a hotel... Why when it's 75/80 degrees in winter and you can sleep outside and pay $50/ month to take a shower at a health club.

Hey man love the video! Got a lot of Hawai’i’s history correct and thank you so much for helping show people who’ve probably never seen it before the culture of my beautiful home. However, I would’ve appreciated some correct pronunciations. It’s not hard, especially with the internet, to find how to say things correctly and it would go a long way towards stopping the mocking of the Hawaiian language and culture in American culture that’s been happing since since Hawai'i was discovered. Also, the Constitution signed in 1887 is known as the Bayonet Constitution because King Kalakaua was forced to sign it under literal threat of death by Bayonet. This video also shows a distinct lack of blame on the part of the US government in the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom whose troops were used to storm ‘Iolani Palace and de-throne Queen Lili’uokalani and while president Grover Cleveland recognized the evil deeds that happened to Hawai’i, president McKinley after him was much more in the American imperialism tradition and pressured congress to try and annex Hawai’i, failed in doing so, and eventually just took over Hawai’i from the white business owners who, backed by the US military, has taken it years earlier.

I just finished my last two states to visit in Sept '21, flying first to the Big Island and Oahu and then up to Anchorage. 6 days in Hawai'i and then 8 in Alaska. Saw as much as we could. My parents met in Alaska and that was always the draw for me to go there, the nostalgia. However, I fell in love with the Big Island. Love the people, the diversity of climate and the lack of being overrun by tourism. Now I need to go back to each and really soak it in...

Thanks Mr. Beat, this was a very good video. I'm an Alaskan resident that was born and raised here and I could tell you've done some good research on my state. The only feedback I have is that I wish you were able to put more coverage on the Alaskan tribes during Russian colonization, as some pretty interesting stuff happened, such as my tribe, the Tlingit tribe being able to fight the Russians out of southeast Alaska for about two years. It was done by the warrior Katlian. It's a pretty major part of our history.

[@XTibbs1]

Russia is thousands of miles from Alaska, so the storyline is the same most anywhere, it's got a huge leak.

One thing I've noticed about the 3 to 4 hours of horizon high sunlight you get in the winter months in AK, is that my friends from the south almost immediately get depressed and want to fly back to FL until summer. The winters aren't for the faint of heart, but the Iditarod and the winter activities are worth it.

Great video for sure Mr. Beat! Here are some honorable mentions. 1.) The Diomede Islands. One is owned by The United States of America while the other one is owned by Russia. They are a short distance from each other if not doing the distance the mainland of Alaska and Russia, 2.) While Hawaii has the Pacific Ocean. Alaska has the Pacific Ocean as well as the Artic Ocean. 3.) Hawaii has the only airport in Honolulu that takes you to the Commonwealth Territory of American Samoa. The only thing I can see both sates having in common is the price to fly into both of them separately. Not the most expensive for America though. Our Commonwealth Territories of American Samoa, Guam, Northern, and/or Mariana Islands top that,
