I was stationed in Alaska for several years with the military. Newcomers had to attend a mandatory briefing where they explained some of many natural dangers like weather and animals. At the end the speaker said “Even though you’re surrounded by all of this amazing natural beauty, never forget where you are. Summer or winter, this is still Alaska. The last frontier. The moment you forget or disrespect it, it can f*****g kill you”.

Facts

[@forreal2398]

My dad was stationed at Ft. Greely twice and I was stationed there once. And a part of the talk they gave us was that people stopped to go into the wood and take a piss and got lost five or ten yards into the woods. I can see that happening but at the same time it seems crazy. My 1st degree is in forestry and the school I went to was in Northern MN. The profs made sure we all knew that if we ever got lost that the sun is always to the south, head south and u willl eventually find a road. To me its as easy as stay facing one way going in and doing an about face to leave the woods and get back to ur car.

[@kromel03]

I was at Richardson and Wainwright. Visited Greeley on occasion. Everyone thinks about the cold and the bears. What got me was the stuff that’s only common knowledge to locals. Like the mudflats and the giant hogweed plant that literally gives you second degree burns anywhere the oil gets on your skin. We made the mistake of walking through some and people were blistering about 20 minutes later.

Another thing to consider about Alaska is there is a lot of empty land up there with very rugged terrain and extremely dangerous animals. You could meet grizzly bears, polar bears, wolves so there’s a good chance that a lot of the missing have just fed the wildlife.

[@twistedpixel2558]

Not to mention the normally non aggressive animals that could easily kill you when disturbed. A male moose during rut is one of the most dangerous animals on earth. They'll charge pretty much anything that isn't a female moose. Same with elk and deer but their size isn't quite as much a concern as a moose.

Alaska is bigger than Texas but sparsely populated because it gets so cold there. The only dangerous animals there are bears (and Bigfoot and Space Aliens). There is/was a reality TV show called "Ice Road Truckers" about truck drivers that would use the short period of time each year to deliver supplies to to the more remote parts of Alaska. One of the biggest sources of drama in the show was when the trucks would have to travel over frozen waterways during the Spring when the ice was beginning to melt. That would be a way that a person (and 18 wheel truck) could disappear without a trace.

14:37: Many of those ships were lost near the Minnesota coast of Lake Superior, and there's a physical reason for it: the waves can get extremely large quickly (up to 30 feet in rare cases) when the wind comes from the NE and runs down the entire length of the coast. The weather can be so violent than even captains of ocean-going ships often do not like sailing in that area to this day, and it used to be worse before computer-aided navigation.

Yo, I live in Alaska and have for 21 years. It’s the largest state in the US and it is rugged terrain and a lot of untouched land to preserve the wilderness and habitat. Probably the easiest place to disappear, people who move here alone need to be cautious. Also need to remember that not everyone is reported missing. Fairbanks to Anchorage (area where I live) the drive is about 8 hours if driving guidelines are followed (300 miles). This stretch has hours of no service and a lot of opportunities for people to disappear (suicide, murder, accidents- they are all possibilities). The wildlife would not turn those nose up at a free meal. It is dumb imo to make the trip alone. Snow is also tricky. Can suck you up and easily replace itself to look untouched. My first apartment we had an intoxicated man fall asleep around the back of the house and snow piled on him (he froze to death). Didn’t know until six months later. Can’t imagine outside of the city how many bodies disappear and the elements take them. There’s more (ice/water) but this comment is getting pretty morbid 😓

The only spot that could significantly slow that down outside of construction is Wasilla and you weren’t losing 2 hours for 6 miles or so of 45 MOH and a few lights.

11:48 when you fly over those mountains from west to east, there's a rapid shift in weather, and worse, sometimes sudden downdrafts. You need to clear the mountains by a good 4000 feet for safety, but that's above the range of a lot of general aviation planes (little planes) in terms of altitude. If you don't know about that weirdness, aren't planning for it, or are already pushing your plane's capacity, the sudden changes can be really bad. Also, general aviation pilots have a bad habit of not doing crash simulation / safety training (aka how to land when you weren't planning to), and not carrying survival gear, or even sometime, a coat when going from California to , say, Las Vegas. If you have a rescue beacon, and it goes off in the crash, and it isn't too damaged to work, it'll still take time for people to get to you when you're out in the middle of nowhere. When I was doing search and rescue, there were several times where we found folks, and had to drop rescue blankets, oreo cookies, and a note that the helicopter couldn't come get them until daylight. Pack a coat when you fly over mountains. 2:01 Side note. my theory is that 99% of alien abduction lore is actually dreams about half remembered night time diaper changes. prove me wrong.

I also learned that a Raven has 13 pinion feathers and a Crow has 12, so the difference is a matter of a pinion. All joking aside, it is a huge and beautiful place. I remember taking a motor coach from Anchorage to Denali National Park and seeing Mt. Denali from 100 miles away. It is the tallest mountain in North America. There were orange and white striped poles on either side of the road that rose about 30 feet or so. I asked the bus driver what they were there for. He said it was for the snow plows to find the road, but usually the only way to travel was by dog sleds when the snows came. I remember it being sunny and everything green. The place we stayed at was preparing for Christmas, it was late August! The park would be closing soon, due to winter. Over night, it cooled down a lot and on the way back to Anchorage, we took a double decked train with large windows on the top deck. All the mountains had received snow over night and all the green had turned yellow, orange and red. This was over night!

I live in Alaska. People go missing all the time. Most often their bodies are found. Once in a blue moon they are found alive, but usually frostbitten. There are all manner of stories......a couple of guys go out in a boat and never return....someone's out hiking and just vanishes. Two stories I'm familiar with (there are lots mote) are curious to me because they are men that disappeared almost right in front of someone. Like they were there, and then they were gone. A guy was hiking WITH A GROUP in the Tongas National Forrest in mid-summer. They were in a clearing and for some reason he stayed behind and told the group he'd catch up. When he didn't catch up to them they went back to look for him and found nothing. NOTHING. Not a backpack or a shoe or a piece of clothing. He was never found. Maybe he hiked in the wrong direction and was lost forever, or it is possible a bear or wolves got him (we had a bad wolf problem at the time) but not a trace of him was ever found. The other one is a guy from Anchorage who ran in a mountain race that is only 3 miles long, but there's a 2,000 foot elevation change and you run up 1.5 miles and back 1.5 miles. It can be run as fast as an hour, but slower runners can take 4 or 5 hours. It was a foggy, rainy day and the race started and everyone headed off......and hours later, this guy still hadn't come back down the mountain. People running down the mountain remember seeing him going up......one person saw him taking a break. They searched for him for months but never a trace was found. Later that year he was declared legally dead.

There's a strong draft of wind as the western winds come down on the east side of the Sierra Mountains that slam low flying aircraft into the ground that's why the Nevada Triangle is a graveyard for planes, particularly small piper cub type planes with inexperienced pilots.

OK, the "Nevada triangle" includes the highest part of a 14,000+ (4300+ Meters) mountain range. The terrain is steep, rugged and remote. It is a dangerous place to fly. It also- for a number of reasons, gets a significant amount of air traffic. I have been involved in, and have personal knowledge of a number of searches. It is no mystery at all how people disappear. For example - in the 1980's, A military jet went down - the search started as soon as he was off the radar for 10 minutes. They knew where he was coming from, and where he was going to, and the likely options of routes he might have taken. It still took 18 months to find the wreckage.

I came here intending to fulfill a two year contract and have never left. Before I moved here I lived in New York but I was so sick of people I had to get away from them (and 9/11 didn't help). I can get in my boat and drive an hour or two up river and there's nothing but total quiet and peace. My cell phone won't work. If anyone needs medical it's a boat ride and a high tide away. It's sort of intoxicating for its emptiness. To explore the hundreds of lakes/bays, to go out onto the tundra or up into the mountains and think you might be walking in a place that no human has ever touched before. When you fly over it (I'm a Medevac Nurse) and look down and see hundreds of miles of just emptiness.......it's pretty amazing.

Lake Superior, like Pyramid lake, is very deep and very cold - historically it ices over in winter (partially or fully). Drowning victims float to the surface when they become buoyant from the gases of decomposition. This doesn't happen in cold water, so a body tends to sink to the bottom and stay there. To give you an idea of how large lake Superior is - it has very nearly TWICE the surface area of Switzerland. The storms that are most dreaded sweep down out of the North to Northwest - coming down from the Arctic, across the Canadian plains.

[@ryanfelder2078]

You need to react to 11 American states that larger then the uk by lost in the Pond.

[@kabirconsiders]

I’ll put it on the list!

[@nathan3252]

This reminds me of the everglades. A place that if you go in you have to know your way out or else you could disappear never to return. It was also a favorite dumping ground for Al Capone who made a lot of his enemies vanish into those swamps. To this day its still an endless vast untamed wilderness with predatory animals constantly at war with each other for territory and food. If you go there to hunt you best be prepared or else you may never be seen again.

[@denisesummers3107]

There’s a lot of water the plane could have gone down in between Anchorage and Juno. Alaska is the most beautiful state I’ve ever seen. I love it and the citizens of Alaska.

[@dwaynedavis8977]

Alaska is huge as others have said. Very vast an rough terrain. Many towns don’t have roads leading out of town. They fly small planes from town to town.

[@christypriest30]

I was about to say that it’s a common saying around Lake Superior that it doesn’t give up its dead end that saying was around before the song

[@forreal2398]

I lived in Alaska in three decades for a total of about 11 years. In school they said Alaska was 2.3 times the size of TX. And could fit the UK into Alaska about 7 times. I did 4 sports at the state level my Sr. year of HS and traveled over 6000 miles to compete in them that school year and another thousand for the road races I did that spring and summer. Our shortest sports trip was 150 miles round trip the it went to 200 then 300. My Sr. year we got to go to Barrow Alaska but had to get to Fairbanks so the school we were going to would fly us the rest of the way. So it was a 200 mile round trip for the trip to Fairbanks. Somewhere I have a picture of one of my brothers under the Avis Rent a Car sign stating how far inside the Arctic Circle u were. To fly from Fairbanks is 1004 miles round trip. and we were over 350 miles inside the Arctic Circle depending on who online u believe.

[@Thunderchicken69]

The part he doesn’t mention about the Smokey Mountains one is the father fully believes it was a Sasquatch that took his son, somebody nearby claimed to see a large hairy man carrying a small child over his shoulder running through the woods, after the disappearance none of the agencies would cooperate with each other, the National Park service tried to cover it up, and the craziest part is part of the “search” team was a green beret hunter-killer team fresh out of Vietnam, all were armed and were “searching” in armed Huey gunships

[@lynnegulbrand2298]

When I first moved to Mississippi from England in the 70s we had a neighbor who moved to Alaska but came back 6 months later. He took his wife and 20 year old son with him. They said once it started snowing they said nope this ain't for us. If you move anywhere make sure you study the climate and the area etc. Alaska is our largest state and a lot of it is untouched. It's probably beautiful in the summer time but I don't like snow either.

[@terriecooperman7232]

No that open desert in Nevada where area 51 is no fog,but alot of wind. Superstition mountains still eating people here but it's a very large area that can hit 120 degree with alot of mine shafts that are old

[@XayJ89]

Are used to live about 10 minutes from the superstition Mountains. You could see the mountains from my bedroom window.

[@Hogtownboy1]

flying while drunk is very common in small airplane crashes

[@maryslack6169]

Alaska is the largest state ad it's huge. Alot of people carry weapons because of the wildlife. If you like more info on missing people there's a series of books by a retired police detective called 411 missing people

[@mudbug73us]

The United Kingdom is roughly about 15% or one-seventh the size of Alaska. UK= 242,495 sq km versus Alaska= 1,717,856 sq km. (UK= 93,628 sq miles versus Alaska= 663,288 sq miles) Vast areas of Alaska are uninhabited, with no roads or any other signs of humans.

[@nicolebrown1927]

Hello there Kabir! You're such a star young man, no if's, and's or but's about it. I think it would be wonderful if you and Twins The New Trend could collab every once in a while on some video's. You guys would compliment each other quite well I think and the topics you cover could be endless!!! Just a thought. Hopefully one day it could happen but if not, I'll still love your channel anyway. Keep yourself safe.☺✌🇺🇸💙🇬🇧

[@kabirconsiders]

Nicole you're so sweet 😊 I've never thought about doing a collab, could be fun!

[@sr71ablackbird]

as for lake superior, the border between u.s. and canada runs through it. the spot where the edmund fitzgerald sank is off limits and was declared a grave where boats are not allowed. it is also patrolled by the u.s. coast guard and the canadian military. when they both, the coast guard and canadaian military pass by the grave where the wreckage is at they stop and ring the bell 29 times for the 29 crew members from the edmund fitzgerald that had perished.

[@kittytimes6]

You should listen to David Paulides. He talks about missing people and has some books about it. Missing 411. Keep up the good work 👍

[@josephdillon5203]

Check out the Gordon Lightfoot song wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald!

The UK is approximately 243,610 sq km and Alaska is approximately 1,481,348 sq km.

[@latin725]

The Alaskan disappearance kinda creeps me out

[@kabirconsiders]

Me too bro

[@renaissanceman7145]

Alaska covers 663,300 square miles while England covers 50,301 square miles. So yeah, Alaska is a little bit bigger than England. A bit easier to understand how so many cab go missing each year huh? Also, unlike England,, most of Alaska is untamed wilderness that's covered in snow most of the year, all year for some parts I'm assuming. Edit-The UK covers 93,600 square miles. There are 11 US states that are larger than the UK. Obviously there are more states that are larger than England by itself.

[@babyfry4775]

Alaska’s huge! It would take up most of the western US. You could probably fit 6 UK’s in it. I think a lot of people get taken by mountain lions, bears and wolves, wolves in the northwestern US. Mountain lions are super quiet and can drag you up a tree. I live in Colorado and one man in Boulder said a lion took his dog. I figured it was a smallish dog but no the guy showed a picture of his Rottweiler! They’re what 90lbs?! The lion took it up and over a 6’ fence. Sheesh. If they can kill deer and elk, they can easily take a child or woman or small man. Scary stuff.

[@rbeck3200tb40]

There are strong rumors that alot of the missing people in the north west are from sasquatch killing them. A guy wrote a book about these missing people in this area called Missing 411 Its very good

[@robertdysonn]

Alaska is about 1/6 of the entire landmass of the United States.

[@kabirconsiders]

Really?! It’s enormous 😳

[@robertdysonn]

@@kabirconsiders that is the same shock most Americans have when they realize just how big it is. We have a tendency to forget about it way up there but it’s enormous.

[@sunnyfarrill7665]

Alaska is over 7 times the size of the UK. My state, Texas, is almost 3 times the size of the UK. Your population still greatly exceeds that of either state.

[@kabirconsiders]

It’s crazy learning how small the UK is land mass wise 😳

[@tc-tm1my]

look up the documentary missing 411 which talks about the high number of disappearances in US national parks.

[@danheisey9052]

Ditto. You really need to react to that song. Watch the lyrics version so you can really follow the story. It’s a great but eerie song. Thanks for another great video!!

[@kabirconsiders]

Thanks Dan :)

[@joadwr]

Alaska is jinormus... it will reach from cost to cost of the lower 48. Was looking at a comparison video, that just put stuff into perspective, of distance and sizes of different things, and one was an overlay of Alaska on lower 48... surprised me just how big.

[@RHCole]

You should react to The Missing 411, a docudrama based on a book about missing people in the USA's National Parks.

[@theblackbear211]

Just the "Panhandle" of Alaska that runs down the coast is larger than Scotland and has a population of about 70,000 people - almost half of whom live in another 1/2 dozen or so towns. It's an Archipelago of heavily forested, mountainous islands, separated by deep fjords with strong tidal currents. All of Alaska - as other people have pointed out, it's huge, but the total population is less than 750,000 people - and almost 400,000 of those live in and around the city of Anchorage - If you take out another 100K for Fairbanks.. and 40 K for the entire Aleutian Island Chain... that's less than 150,000 people, most in small towns and villages, to fill all the rest of that empty space. Somebody has to notice that you are missing before they can go look for you.

[@aland6752]

According to the map, Alaska is more than seven times the size of the UK, which covers 93,627.8 square miles and comprises four countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Oil-rich Texas is almost three times the size of the UK, while sunny California is almost twice as big.

[@bpowell7999]

I knew Lake Superior would be on this list. The Great Lakes are awesome yet intimidating. If you haven't checked out Surfer Dan from the UP (Michigan) that surfs Lake Superior in the winter (amazing ice beard!) might be something you'd like to check out!

[@bradnitzsche2436]

Alaska is 1.4 million square miles while the UK is about 94 thousand square miles...

[@andromedaspark2241]

I grew up in the Smokies and knew a woman who's little brother disappeared in the Smokies. She always went hiking alone since, like she was looking for him decades later. Tennessee has a lot of caves due to the type of stone underground. I wonder if people could fall into one. The Smokies is a huge area. Searching it would be challenging. I don't think bears are a reason...black bears aren't very aggressive usually.
