The Dark Side of Alaska | 10 Reasons to Stay Away

[@claire_A-T]

That last one made me laugh, My girl friend from Ketchikan said something that many people said was true about Alaska. What's the dating like in Alaska? She said..." The odds are good but the goods are odd."

You may think that's funny, but I heard it my first weekend in Alaska in 2012, and I hear it regularly to this day. The joke has run its course.

I was born in Fairbanks. Raised in Tanana, a remote Native village on the Yukon River. Our family spent summers in Denali Park developing our homestead property there. We are a 3-generation family business in Denali. Denali Grizzly Bear Resort is starting our 57th year in business in Denali. Tim, if you ever want to camp with us, I again extend a welcome to you, buddy. Free of charge. I love your videos. You are a great ambassador for our awesome State.

Yeah if you think so, go on up and see for yourself lol. These are true and legit reasons why there ain't even a million people in a place, larger than many countries of the world but if you think he's just being coy, go ahead and pack your bags hahaha

[@Friscorockhead]

I don't think so. I don't think you can compare this to other parts of the country where people are flocking to certain places, and the locals try to prevent new people from moving there. The stuff he said is real, and he probably understated a lot of it. Alaska gets romanticized in countless videos on youtube, and while it's an amazing place, the truth is that it has an abnormally high suicide rate because of how hard it is to live there. It's perfect for some people, but it's definitely not for most people.

[@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism]

@@Friscorockhead Yeah, it's due to the lack of sun. It's not healthy. People get VERY depressed up there.

[@johninalaska9563]

@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism Not everybody

[@Friscorockhead]

@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism absolutely. I live in northern Michigan. We typically get really harsh winters but nothing like Alaska. Still, I hear people say how bad they struggle with winter here. We just went over a month without seeing the sun once. It's been dark and cloudy everyday, but at least it gets light during the day. The lack of sunshine has never bothered me, but being in total darkness for an extended period of time would drive me crazy. I definitely understand how it makes people depressed.

[@gregwhite7957]

Thanks for sharing Tim. Another great video. I arrived in Alaska back in 1982, migrated south in 2013. Spent 28 of those years in Fairbanks. Worked hard. Played hard, cuz you can as a young man summer or winter. I had most of the toys. Snow machine, Jet ski and 4 wheeler. Didn’t get a boat because my good friend had one of which I helped maintain. It was a homemade wooden boat. 28’ flat bottom with a 115 fir propulsion. I did find a soul mate. Got married. 2 kids and so on. Heating oil went from .99 up to 5.00 a gallon during my 28 years in Fairbanks. The wife was born in Fairbanks. Her and the kids wanted out. It was getting to expensive and everybody was tired of the cold. I was getting tired of hauling water 3 to 4 times a week. There’s a lot of work involved to live in harsh environments. I worked in subzero conditions every year. One year it was so cold, -60, that the jets didn’t fly but our good ole dc6’s did. No warm cab on the forklifts either. Lots of fun times and great memories. In Idaho now. Take care and stay safe. The change up of your content is great.

[@musicmakelightning]

I remember one year when we were in Juneau, I got bored after dinner and started mowing the lawn. In Juneau it rains somewhere around 200 days per year. And that summer was particularly wet so I hadn't mowed the lawn in months. It was dry so I went out and mowed the lawn. Then I noticed my neighbor walking toward me. I thought he might want me to do his lawn too. Instead, he yelled at me. It was 11:30PM and they were trying to sleep. Lucky for me it was already the weekend.

Yes !! That is why, those of us that tough it out, is for the beauty, Everywhere you look . For the young, an endless year round outdoor playground as Tim shows us ! Truly the Last Frontier. Man hasn't been able to destroy it yet , due to it's harshness ( daily earthquakes, avalanches, wild animals, ice jam or terrencial rains that cause flooding ( reason for braided rivers).

💫Awesome💫 video, Timmy. I lived next door, in the Yukon, for 2 years. Also, grew up in a winter-real part of central Canada. So i know what you are talking about. The other side of all that is the intense beauty, sense of vastness and clean, cold air....👍😎🇨🇦❄🤍🔥

Tim here from Eagle River, I would agree Tim, I been back 30 years, lived here as a kid and it is a great beautiful place, but everything you talked about is so true. For me now, it’s a love hate relationship with AK, can’t find a place like it, want to leave, but want to stay, it is crazy. Keep the videos coming.

[@mikestirewalt5193]

Good job of putting the viewer on the edge of their chairs as we get an idea of what it's like being on top of clear ice with a deep lake below. I grew up in Ancorage starting in 1953. Landed at Elmendorf since the Anchorage airport wasn't yet ready for commercial carriers. Alaska has the highest per capita consumption of alcohol, or did back in the Fifties and Sixties. I've been depressed my whole life and the cold and dreariness of life there probably played it's part. Skiing was great. Educaton was excellent. High quality teachers. Most professionals there are a cut above, generally. Great place to learn to fly since conditions are challenging.

I was there on a steelhead fishing trip on the Kenai 20 years ago. It's was great but I could never live there. Waking up to the mountains was unreal. But every reason you said is the truth. I hate the cold now. Love your videos though tim. I give you a lot of credit because all ibwanna do is move to some where warm all year round now. I live in western NY and it gets brutal here off the lakes with lake effect snow. We had 5 feet 2 weeks ago. But keep up the vids...there great

Yes, listen to him. I lived in the Anchorage area for 15 years and while I had a lot of great adventures, I got burned out on the weather, the traffic and the crime. I tell people that it’s the best place to visit that I ever lived. It can be a very depressing place and if it isn’t snowing it’s probably raining. Think long and hard before moving to Alaska and make sure you have an exit strategy. I’ve known people who’ve bailed out after their first endless winter.

[@CrazyBader]

Crime? What kind of crimes take place in Alaska? Genuine question

[@2010DanaA]

The interior and northern Alaska are really cold…I would not say the southern coast is so cold. Winter in parts of the lower 48 can be as cold or colder. People I know who have lived in both places say the hardest thing is the extended darkness in the winter.

[@Luckyhikes]

My biggest issue is how small it actually is community/town wise. If you burn bridges, you can't help but run into those same people again...also in the summer if you are working and its a nice day you can get into a manic state of missing out on one of the few nice days a year, which can lead to more stress since nice weather days are so few. I'd say Alaska is a nice place if you have freedom from that. Just wanted to add that I no longer live there just visit during the holidays.

Thank you for the beautiful videography of Alaska with the negative reasons why not to show-up there lol. Too cold and dark for me, but as long as you keep sharing these beautiful videos I will just enjoy your adventures💞

Great list. And hopefully people will listen to you. I still want to come check out Alaska one of these days, maybe even visit your town! I have some connections in the Yukon and sort of want to do gold mining, but it's always a time issue... Really enjoy watching you do your time, most down to earth KZbinr, don't ever change man, hope the old 7.3 gets fixed up good for ya!

I visited Alaska solo last year, and my impressions were that Alaska is for those who think Colorado isn't outdoorsy enough, that having a car and repairing a car needs its own savings account, and that even for someone born and raised there, when those signs of autumn come around, it triggers some depression because winter is on its way. I spend a lot of time on islands and Alaska definitely feels the same, its beautiful and remote, and what you have access to is all you have to work with. It's an amazing, unique place that feels different than anyplace I've ever been, and I'd love to go back to visit, and maybe live for a season, but I don't know about more than that. Thanks for your insight.

I have always wanted to go to Alaska ever since I was a kid. Grew up in the North East, but my family moved to the deep south when I was a teen. Lucky, if we get 1 wewk of cold weather a year ! Some of us are born loving snow and ice, and im one of them. Appreciate your video. ~Sweating in South East Texas 😊

I guess I should have watched this video first, before asking you all those questions on your other video. Thank you for all the information.

Thanks man:)

I am a cold weather person but two of your reasons I know for me are a deal breaker, the long nights and rain. The third reason is the endless sausage party can grow old. I was told once while sking a remote western ski town there was two things I needed to bring, my own money and women because both were hard to find.

Enjoyed that one. Thanks for sharing that. I have grown to really admire the place I've spent my whole life although in but it's not as remote as the one you share with us. At my age I won't get to see the incredible scenes you show us. I so thank you for that. Life is great even living in a van down by the river!

I've never seen anything more spectacular and amazing. Thank you for showing me the world.❤
