Mosquitoes In Alaska

My friend sent me this when he was working remotely north of the Brooks Range. He actually had to go outside and work in this swarm!

[@korodski]

So anyways, I started blasting

It takes some serious intestinal fortitude to get out of the car.

[@korodski]

@@Kinzey haha 😄

[@RamblinAround]

I always hear people talking about how bad they can be. I'd say that illustrates it pretty well.

[@Kinzey]

This is about as bad as it gets.

[@salvadormuro7346]

I remember my grandpa saying you’d see a black cloud of mosquitoes out there. Never seen it myself but seeing this, holy crap.

[@dmoskva]

I ran into Alaskan mosquitos during July in Wasilla. I felt violated every time I stepped out of the car. I have never seen such vicious creatures. 😭 leave a small dog outside and they might suck it dry.

RUN

[@Kinzey]

Work fast in these conditions and just get it over with!

[@313barrygmail]

Nice day to go to the beach

[@Kinzey]

I can't even imagine haha

[@MalcolmBowens6]

This would make for a great horror movie.

[@Kinzey]

I agree Malcolm!

[@mynqming]

If you go out there, you can never go back because you'll end up as skeleton. 😹

[@coreymckown3577]

I recognize one of them. Nicked his wing with my 44 mag when I was there. 😂

[@Kinzey]

Dude I know. I've personally never seen them like this, but there was one time I found thousands of them deceased next to a window in a dredge. I have footage of that and I might upload it, but the context is so weird.

[@coreymckown3577]

@@Kinzey I was working at Clear AFB and was at a locals house and you couldn’t be outside. We ran from building to building. That was the worst I saw.

Someone say flame thrower?

[@yaraahmed2215]

The reasons for the presence of large mosquitoes in Alaska are poor hygiene in Alaska and the western part of Canada These areas contain quantities of dead animals and dirt from which mosquitoes feed and grow in size

Accidently press your elbow on the power window switch

[@lynbigle2341]

From a siencey point of view living in 2024 the mosquitoes are just longing for companionship ...roll the window down... So you dont hurt their feelings

[@securethebag1613]

Issa no for me dawg 🏃🏿‍♂️💨💨💨

[@tukemono3232]

I would like you to try using Japanese-made mosquito coils (Katorisenkou). It has almost no effect on the human body, can wipe out a swarm of mosquitoes in an instant, and has a long effective time.

[@baneverything5580]

My God! Only every great once in a while do you get into a vicious swarm of mosquitoes so bad here in Louisiana that they scare you. THAT looks serious! We had an outbreak here right before the first frost. I guess it helped the birds get fattened up for their migration or it drove them away. The flock I fed all summer disappeared after the horrible mosquitoes. I couldn`t go outside for two seconds.

[@Kinzey]

It really is something else. Once you experience something like this it leaves a major impression. Usually the swarms are only this bad on the slope and out on the tundra. There are some spots in the interior that are swampy and can get kind of bad.

[@runerdude141]

Roll the windows down you cowards.😂

[@InsertYourself1]

Looks like my unkept bedroom

[@Kinzey]

Oh I feel so bad for you if that's true XD

[@chrismullin8304]

I’m not going there until you all figure that problem out!

[@Kinzey]

You're going to be waiting a long time haha. Mosquitoes are unofficially the state bird XD

[@kevincrain7499]

My best friend when camping in the Sierra mountains was my mosquito netting that fit over my hat covering my face and neck. Unfortunately my other two friends were eaten alive.

[@Insight07691]

Mosquito racket:🥶🗿

[@TakuForTwo]

Yeah, looks about right! Haha~

[@alexiusskalin9239]

How do you even survive walking out of the car, spending the day there... Never seen anything like that here in the Sweden or Norway.

[@maxsiemens304]

You buy the Canadian bug shirt and pants. Made for the far north they stop them all. You just need some gloves for your hands

[@darrenheffner4329]

Man O Man😳

[@markshoemaker4619]

Omg that is beyond bad

[@Kinzey]

It's the worst I've ever seen them. I have a video of this same amount of mosquitoes but they are dead inside a dredge and against a window. It's weird and I'm hesitant to upload it cause it's just so weird, creepy, and I can't think of context as to why it happened, why I filmed it, and most importantly - why I uploaded it haha. Cheers!

[@wade6663]

Nope!

[@Kinzey]

Exactly. Just keep driving haha.

[@freedomforall2486]

Ahhhh yeah NOPE!!! 👋

[@Kinzey]

My friend had to get out and work in that swarm 😬

[@emirhan2884]

could use audio

[@Kinzey]

My friend was cursing cause he had to actually get out of the truck and do work haha.

[@emirhan2884]

@@Kinzey don't see any problem here lol

[@redbeardreturns3550]

Literally just heard Joe Rogan talking about this with Forrest.

[@caligold2000]

Where's the boneyard?!

[@Kinzey]

lol far from where this video was shot. Boneyard is near Fairbanks.

[@Smokkedandslammed]

@@Kinzey Are the mosquitoes that bad at the Boneyard?
