I agree I'm disabled and mostly bed bound I love being able to see places like this I always wanted to go to Alaska I always said I lived there in a past life. I love Snow ❄️ and Cold weather the animals fascinated me I would love to see all the Beauty in person but that's not possible since I became disabled a little over 2 yrs ago. Channels like this keeps this 59 yrs old lady sane. 😊

Im 71 now n living in Maryland but lived in Anchorage for 20 years back 1970- 1990 n miss living there, i worked as an RN in the Burn Unit n as a flight nurse. I got to more than 40 towns through out the state. Alaska was so different back then. Like only one small movie theater, just afew grocery stores,only 3 thrift shops, no large stores like Costco.I did alot of cross-country skiing n came close to many wild animals such as moose, bears, eagles n was never afraid. Animals know fear so need to be calm. I could write a book on all the experiences i had. I did keep a long journal. I miss Alaska.

[@Harold710]

I visited the burn unit at PAMC and the suffering, trauma, and slow healing process was unreal.

Driving with you through the roads of Alaska is something I never thought I could experience. Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for taking is along to town and having us explore with you! So happy to be here. Coral

[@chefgiovanni]

I'm glad your FORD did not break down out there. The grocery stores in AK are price gouging you on many items. However a lot of it is due to shipping. We pay 1.10 -1.99 for dozen eggs in the midwest. Ground beef 4.50-5.50 a lb. is average. Milk is 3-4$ a gallon. When I go to TX, food is about the same but more driving. I been to Alaska many times, always armed. Them bears get hungry too. Smoked Salmon. Moose jerky. Bear stew can be delicious. Let's get cooking.

[@H2R5GSXR]

Just found your channel. Lived in Anchorage since Dec 1989. Traveled the whole state when I worked, now sit in basement and watch KZbin.

Nice video. 😍 love how you are so independent. Will be 68 in 3 weeks. Love living alone. No kids too. Love freedom. Never owned a 🚙 car. Live in the sunshine state. Went to Alaska in 2004 on a cruise. Loved it. Juneau. Sitka. Tracy arm. And saw some glaciers. Beautiful Alaska. Lived in California at the time. We left from San Francisco. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@happyinparis]

I'm envious in a way. I was so looking forward to an empty nest, enjoying retirement, and my grandchildren. Sadly, my husband passed away. Now I'm basically a mom again raising my grandchildren. They are 9 and 10. I've had them since they were 1 and 2. Their parents chose drugs. So I watch videos like this because I love an adventure and living in different places. I've lived in Alaska (Fairbanks), Washington, Montana, Florida, Indiana, California, and I'm currently in Tennessee.

[@bdmenne]

@@happyinparisKentucky/Tennessee is really the sweet-spot for weather and Sun. Just right. However I’m concerned with Overwhelming destabilizing immigration so I have contemplated “inhospitable” areas so that I can have people security, or lack there of. I tried Minnesota for 4 years and was a bit miserable with how long Winter last, specifically how the length of Sun is reduced from What I grew up with. What was your favorite place to consider long term future root planting outside of Tennessee? Thanks

[@happyinparis]

​@@bdmenneDefinitely Ashland, Oregon. It is truly a special place. I love it there. Housing is expensive but what a lovely town. I am thinking about moving elsewhere further north. I hate Tennessee summers. The humidity is so unpleasant for me. I do love the fireflies!

[@carolynhostetler8641]

We were in Alaska in July last year. Absolutely beautiful. It’s so nice to recognize a lot of the sights you show along Richardson Highway. We did the train ride from Anchorage to Seward and back. We had a gorgeous sunny day. So much beauty. I highly recommend that train excursion. We had rented a van and then drove from Anchorage to Homer, spent some time there and then on to Seward. After spending time in Seward, we headed to Denali National Park. From there we headed to Fairbanks. There we did a river cruise on the Sternwheeler. Also on to North Pole, on to Tok and a side trip to Chicken, and then Valdez. We spent the day on a boat in Prince William Sound. We also were in Palmer and Wasilla. So much beauty. Loved everything about the trip. Would love to go back.

Driving along with you reminds me of my childhood where I would steer out the window and marvel! Thank you for reminding me!

Just beautiful when the sun is shining on the mountains. The Asian market was a total surprise to me with the selection and quantity of fresh produce in the winter time. Very impressive. HEB is a family owned chain in Texas and they are great people. What Hurricane Harvey was making it's way inland, people were in the store panicking and the employees had it all under control. Plus they handed out a what to do info sheet. Thanks for the shopping. ❤

The produce in the very first grocery store Midtown Market ,looked great to me, the muffins delicious looking too. The crab around 32.00 in shell, I am in Bay Area....62.00 shelled ! For some reason I was impressed with that first grocery store, didn't expect it to be so "modern" , and immediately thought of how all those items get up to Alaska.

Hi Alone and Kenai 👋🥰It’s good to see the both of you✌️ Yes I agree on the pricing. Seems a lot of things are around the same price as here in Michigan in some places. I’m thankful I have a neighbor that raises beef steer and I get my meat from them. It rounds out to about $5.11 per pound of any cut. Recently it was $920.00 for 180lbs of meat (1/4 cow). I shop Walmart and Sam’s club here as well for food staples and what not. We raise chickens so I don’t have to worry about buying eggs lol. Me being gluten and dairy free is a little challenging but over all it works. Thank you for taking us along. Much love, stay safe, take care and God Bless🙏🥰🙏✌️

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Hi Debbie! I don't remember what I paid in 2022 per pound of beef for the side of beef I purchased, but I am thankful that I purchased it when I did. The meat prices are so costly that I cannot imagine trying to fill my freezers from the grocery store. I rarely shop at Walmart and haven't been in a Sam's Club in years. I don't actually know if there are any in Alaska, but am thankful that I got a Costco membership finally. It has paid for itself, which is something that I did not mention in the video. I am glad that you are able to provide for you and your family with your chickens, garden and having neighbors who raise beef. Thank you again for being a channel member and watching the videos. 🤗💛

[@j.chriswatson6847]

Was listening on the drive to work. It amazes me how people equate age with value/worth. There was a tool seller at a local flea market that knew nothing about antique tools. He'd price old broken rusty tools antique prices and his retort was always the same. "It's old." We are talking about broken tools that I only wanted a single part from to rehab actual tools with value. Anyway, I always enjoy the practical inside knowledge episode's. Good job, ma'am.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Hi Chris! I hope you are doing well. I agree about how some people equate age with value or worth. A friend once told me that something only has value if it means something to you. If you have a practical use for it, or if it is of some sentimental value. And that just because it is a collector's item, or old does not make it valuable. Even if the one off sold for an outrageous price does not mean that a like item will do the same. Either way, I am sure someone somewhere is willing to pay top dollar for these items. It just isn't in my budget. I appreciate you watching... or listening... 😉 to the videos. And thank you for your continued support of the channel. 🤗💛

When I lived in Homer, was going to make some red beans and rice with sausage. In the lower 48, I could make a big pot of it for 4-6 peaple for around $20, and that's a BIG Pot! When I came out of Safeway in homer, it cosr me around $60 for the simple supplies. Winters, everyone I knew just sits in the dark and drink all day long 7 days a week, I don't drink, so did not hang with many who did this. But I left after 10 years, You simple can' afford to live there, the average person can't afford it! One saving grace was most people there fish and hut to subsidize the food cost, that's a lot of work too! Wish I could hit the Powerball, I'd move backtomorrow! Loved it, but just too expensive, also, stay out of the interior, the winters are BRUTAL!
