Alaska, the Law of Nature

[@TheSouthernorycle]

My father was in the air force and we were stationed at Anchorage AFB for nine years. I was born there and we moved away when I was one year old then we moved back there when I was 5 or so. Those 9 years of my childhood were my favorite of all the places we lived. I am 48 years old now and I still miss Alaska and still think about it almost every day. What a beautiful place to grow up.

[@HeidiRowe-f8z]

Beautiful! I love hearing about those who live and love Alaska! The true gold life of freedom. Thank you!

[@shanechostetler9997]

I feel blessed to have deep roots up in Alaska. My mother was there in the late 30’s, up in Wrangell. Her father logged, fished and worked in the gold mines up in Juneau. My wife’s father traveled the AlCan in 1947, stayed in Fairbanks, then down in Cordova till 1973. My wife and I met in Cordova in 1983 while I was commercial fishing, I still go up there every summer, it truly is a special place, the history is interesting. We have a couple of cabins in McCarthy near the abandoned Kennicot copper mine in the Wrangell St. Elias National Park.

[@patrickjames9165]

WOW...MY FATHER MOVED US TO WRANGELL IN 1972 WHERE MY FATHER BECAME A GAME WARDEN. FROM THERE WE WENT TO CORDOVA IN 1977 HAD MY FIRST JOB IN A SALMON CANARY AND THEN ON TO FAIRBANKS IN 1981 WHERE I WENT TO HIGHSCHOOL AND GRADUATED IN 1984 FROM WEST VALLEY HIGH, I NOW LIVE IN MONTANA...I MISS ALASKA & FEEL FORTUNATE THAT I GOT TO LIVE THERE AND EXPERIENCE ALL I DID WITH MY OLD MAN..

[@JoseyWales-ed]

You should feel blessed. I’m from Kansas. Went there in 2020 and have been back every year. Words and pictures can’t explain to others what it’s like there, for me. Um, it does something to my soul/spirit while there. Love going saddened to leave

[@saltysailor141]

You’re blessed for sure

[@narayankulkarni5378]

Finally thank you best documentry channel for showing our crown of USA

[@davereid-daly2205]

Great movie ! Nothing like pure wilderness. That rush of a pure wind, the feel of water on your skin bathing in the river at 6 am in the morning, that feeling of walking on the edge of existence knowing that every step is up to you.....

[@kingbenjamin22]

The only place I've lived that I truly loved and hated simultaneously. The scenery and solitude is fantastic, the weather is absolutely awful.

[@SkyHiltribe]

Yeap, very true. I've never been to Alaska but a relative that did told me it's beautiful in the spring and summer but winter is brutal.

[@kingbenjamin22]

@@SkyHiltribe Winter is brutal yet also magical. The light phenomenon, not just the northern lights are spectacular. The scenery is out of this world. Winters are frigid and summer mosquitoes will make you wish it was winter again.

[@annettes7460]

Lived in Fairbanks 10 years, Anchorage 5, back in the 70's and 80's. Still miss it... the people, the beauty, and the personal freedom, but would be hard to acclimate to the cold again.

[@YearRoundEggnogNogger]

For me I feel like the cold weather would actually be bearable, but the mosquitoes and horse/deer/black flys would be a deal breaker! Those suckers will make you beg for the cold weather to return!

[@user-qr8ki8ue4i]

The mosquitoes. Way worse than the weather.

[@Dovid2000]

My earliest memories as a child are from Alaska, where I lived in Fairbanks in 1959 with my parents. Views of the snowclad mountains and of the bays along the coast instilled in me a love for nature till this day. I now live in Israel.

[@WendyNeptune]

I hope you're safe and well

[@RideFaster]

wow...thank you for this.... with all the BS of city life and current events.....this brought me back to reality for 52 minutes.... thank you again!!

[@TerlinguaTalkeetna]

There's the lower 48, Alaska and that pacific island state! It's way different by far than where your from. So glad I got to have an extended stay there. While amazed at this place, the dry dusty desert is where MY heart lies. This documentary did a fine fine job showing the two things that stand out in Alaska. The huge space of light, geology, weather, water and the deeply powerful spirit of Alaskan's themselves. Thanks much for the posting.

It’s a great way to describe it. There’s a town and things go out, in Alaska, but in the lower 48, the wilderness is always surrounded by the town

[@markokada7311]

Watching 2 people walking on the foreboding glacier w/ countless deep crevices, taking photos of these huge perilous grizzly bears in such a close range dicing w/ death ( they just spread their arms & clapped to scare them off!, Holy Smoke! I wonder if anyone carries a gun just in case.), rafting along the dangerous river alone in a small frail boat, etc., I can't help feeling this place must be a paradise or the destination of choice for those valiant, courageous, & adventurous nature-lovers or enthusiasts ( it almost defies imagination for a city-dweller like me!!!). Soundly enjoyed, admired, & appreciated it to the core at my cosy residence in the warm California. (02/22/24)

[@akdrywallguy60]

Nice job showing off AK and my hometown, Talkeetna! Danielle, Carl and Joe are about as 'Talkeetna' as a person can be! It's so cool to see my friends and neighbors on a French documentary (even the ones who didn't get named!). After seeing how many 'documentaries' just completely make a mockery of our lifestyle, it's nice to see one get pretty close with it. Cheers!

[@blablabla2616]

Very cool documentary. Wild land Inspireing people!

[@ler3968]

I got to visit AK several times and got to do some motorcycling. I just wish I had more time to do fun stuff there. I could not get over the sheer beauty everywhere and the big animals roaming freely everywhere even in the cities. I always think about the explorers/settlers who arrived in the 1800s and early 1900s with the challenges they dealt with.

And compared to any other state? Relatively, there are far more rules outside of Alaska. If you’re a tourist that’s a different story. There are many more rules for tourists and rightly so. The residents subsist on the land

Thats 50/50 appreciate the dsy 😅thats really very good.

[@PatrickThreewit]

It would be nice to really be in the back country. It is harder in the lower 48. I can see a home now from my kitchen window. Sad, but though I am not in the Alaskan back country (I've been to Seward and all around Prince William Sound.), I live about as far out in the lower 48 rural area as many can get. But, having lived for 25 years on and Island in Washington, I miss the ocean. I see lots of deer every day. I live 5 driving hours either north or south from an interstate and 20 air miles from the largest wilderness area outside of Alaska. I'm glad I got to spend part of 7 summers working on a family purse seiner mostly in Southeastern Alaska. I saw coastal Alaska in the mid 60's. Occasionally I will talk to someone from Alaska who moved south. When he hears some of my stories, I often hear, "You were in Alaska when Alaska was Alaska." It was just a bit wilder when I was 17 years old to 24. I'm 79 now. No speed boats, no policemen, creek watchmen getting killed, selling salmon to Japanese freezer ships, glaciers one could drive to, ghost towns with building having gold speckled through wooden walls. I like camping in the Idaho foothills of the Rocky Mountains where you rarely see anyone, but it isn't like Alaska. When I was 20 I was gold panning in Lituya Bay where we came ashore to avoid a 70 knot wind. And 100 yards away a mother brown bear stood up on her hind legs sniffing the air.--My new 30-30 looked mighty small. Lots of wild animals, rugged country with high rugged mountains, in north central Idaho, but nothing like Alaska.

[@markokada7311]

Addendum; I can't help thinking that Russians must have expressed in retrospect their greatest regret on the deal in 1867 in terms of military & business advantages, i.e., oil was discovered in Alaska in 1968 as you may know, & in addition, in terms of strategy, Russia might have possessed such an unimaginable advantage over the US should they have kept it. So we are greatly grateful & gratified w/ the deal. I wonder if anyone else feel sentient of it. Thanks for reading my comment in anticipation,,,,,(02/22/24)

Technically no, but there are exceptions for those willing to put in roads and utilities to the land. That said, imagine the population of Rhode Island in a state much larger than Texas. Thats Alaska. Where there is a will, there’s definitely a way in Alaska.

This was a good documentary (apart from the moments of neo-paganism displayed by those who confuse creation with their Creator). Alaska is fiercely beautiful.

There is no creator, only the creation and result of the big bang. Science, make it a religion! Science questions itself over and over again willingly to find truth and facts. Religion is blind faith... that which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.
