THIS Is Why I Moved to Alaska - Life in Alaska

[@BozardsInAlaska]

When you need to get away and reset, where do you retreat to?

[@thetraveler5798]

That would be ALASKA !

[@LucyJG]

Anywhere in the woods.

[@inthelifeofrubys]

I like to sit by the waterfall

[@patriciarussell7487]

BozardsInAlaska Can't go far,mostly at my house.Or go to thrift store.Or escape w.book,christian contemporary music,UTube,or garden.But if I was young,i would live in a shack on the beach,just to look at it everyday!

[@DKAGAMINGART]

At a Park By the river here...^^

[@bluestormcloud791]

I will be back one day. Those ice sounds! I could listen to that for hours while I do my chores or sleeping.

[@hunterweidman7220]

I live in Pennsylvania but I want a change and I love everything about alaska and hopefully one day I can visit or even move out there it's so beautiful and hopefully full of new opportunities

[@Melissa16405]

Beautiful...just beautiful. Love the snow and ice. Grew up in Nebraska and it was cold in the winter. Would love to visit Alaska in the winter as well as the summer. God Bless you and your family for all you share with us.

Lived in AK for 11 years after 25 years in NM. Loved it. We retired to eastern OR. We do miss so much that is unique to AK. Enjoy...Nice vlog!

[@luitoro8995]

Amazing video. I work for a cruise line and I have been in Alaska many times I have seen the world but. Alaska has a very special place in my heart

[@BozardsInAlaska]

It’s hard to beat!

[@BarefootInAK]

I’m originally from southern Idaho, I grew up listening to the stories from my grandpa who served in the army in the interior many years ago... he always had a dream of moving up here and building a cabin. As long as I can remember I have wanted to come to Alaska... in 2006 I loaded up my van and kids and hit the road, we lived in Anchorage our first year and then moved to a tiny little town and lived off grid for 8 years, we’ve learned soooooo much since moving to Alaska, but the main thing I’ve learned? Never, Never give up on your dreams! I’ve had some set backs medical wise ( and had to move closer to town and Drs) but we are still here and loving our Alaskan lifestyle! My dream is to one day get that cabin built and put my grandpas ashes in our foundation.... much 💚 and yes Eklutna lake is a beautiful area!

[@Frank-ox3np]

I thought I wanted to move to the desert (Utah) for the remoteness and natural beauty but now I am seriously considering Alaska. Those damn mountains man. Absolutely captivating.

[@hajimesenpai7996]

Listening to the person walking near the frozen lake is so soothing!!!

[@lindadaniels606]

We visited Alaska back in September. I have never been more at peace than I was when we were there. I will return for sure!

[@BozardsInAlaska]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@priscillanieto3322]

No matter where I live or how infrequently I may visit now since moving with my husband (who was born in Fairbanks but raised in Eagle River) Alaska will always be home to me ❤

[@jillyandavis8891]

That was lovely David. I know what you mean about Switzerland; being out and about in nature generally helps me to feel settled and grateful.

[@BozardsInAlaska]

Thanks Jillyan!

[@warponealaska]

Loved this video, absolutely breathtaking views. I'm actually needing to make the final decision on whether I'll be moving up to Alaska this spring/summer in the next couple of weeks. Not looking to get away from anything just have always wanted to experience life there and every year for the past 3 years I've put it off "till next year." It's going to be a really tough thing to leave my job, family, and friends but at the same time I want to seize the moment and live my dream. Realizing no time will ever feel like the perfect time so just need to go for it! Excited and apprehensive at the same time, these views have me ready to head up there tonight lol!

[@priscillanieto3322]

if you have optimal mental health and can endure 7-8 months out of the year of hardly any sunlight than I say go for it! I unfortunately was not so lucky and after 8 years in alaska with my parents I had to move to Texas to get my depression under control. If not for that I would have loved to stay because it's a beautiful experience living there!

[@alind4444]

You are so right--Once visited, Alaska truly does not leave you~most vacations I've had I've long forgotten the details, but Alaska is a different story. I left vowing to return to live there someday but unfortunately didn't act upon it. Health issues has put an end to that dream, but not a day goes by that i don't think about its beauty and peacefulness. It truly is one of God's great creations. Nothing that beautiful could be otherwise. You have a really nice channel, and we always look forward to your next video

[@mandyward5161]

I have a dream to move to Alaska. I have 3 small children. I want to give them the amazing opportunity to grow up in Alaska. God willing, one day it will happen! Great video!

[@Winterseve86]

And this is a big part of why I can't wait to move there!!

[@kd5mtl]

Man thats awesomely gorgeous! We've decided to move up there next year from Oregon. Cant wait!

[@jennbozard4613]

The sound you captured actually sounds like a heart beat or the sound you hear during an ultrasound! How cool!

[@BozardsInAlaska]

Sounds like aliens are trapped under the ice! 👽😜

[@Winterseve86]

I also love and appreciate the beauty of the the surroundings and how amazing God's creation is. Until we move I have focus on the beach and ocean here in FL.

[@kata7740]

I do! I have that dream of going to Alaska one day! Lucky you to have achieved moving there! I am pretty jealous 😊 Great video again, greetings from Hungary!

[@BozardsInAlaska]

Your Alaskan dream can come true one day too. Keep fighting for it!

[@theempath508]

Hope we become neighbors! Videos like these are so interesting right now that I’m preparing to move. Fascinating Alaska!

[@SimpleLivingAlaska]

Love the comparison from summer to winter, being in nature is definitely relaxing for us, love the silence. Never thought about skipping rocks on a frozen lake! :)

[@BozardsInAlaska]

Have y’all driven to Eklutna yet? If not, try to find some time to (in the summer & winter). Bring your ATV in the summer and stay a night or two in the Serenity Falls Hut (public use cabin). It’s beyond beautiful and my favorite retreat thus far!

[@jeanettekennedy7433]

Thank you for sharing it does look beautiful

[@carminepetracca7518]

the sound of the ice is sooo kool david. i thought that you had tinted the waterfalls in your last videos but i can see now that its natural on the lake. i have no wishes to go to Alaska but Maine surely is a possibility. i am just enjoying the frozen branches of trees everywhere. it is like an icy cathedral. it is a very zen-like atmosphere. regards, carmine

[@BozardsInAlaska]

Hope you can see it soon Carmine!

[@theothersideoftherainbow4547]

I hope to move to Alaska someday soon. Thank you for sharing such beauty with us 👍🏼😍

[@BozardsInAlaska]

Of course!

[@Amarieb29]

I visited Alaska in 2014 (ran the Mayor's Marathon in Anchorage then spent another 5 days). It is the most beautiful place I've ever been. I haven't been able to go back, and it'll be probably at least another 2 years before time and finances allow, but I will be back for a visit. For now I can't imagine living that far from family, but retiring in Alaska sound like a good idea. (I'm 35 so that is a ways off.) I know the traditional beachy retirement has no appeal at all.

[@BozardsInAlaska]

Couldn’t agree more. Our hearts are in the snowy mountains and not a sandy beach.

[@anpen2282]

Its my dream to move to Alaska this year but if not then hopefully next! I m glad your sharing this Beauty. ☺️

[@BozardsInAlaska]

Keep the dream alive! It will be well worth it.

[@andregilbert8060]

Alaska is a beauty. Love it there

[@BozardsInAlaska]

It sure is. Hard to beat!

[@stephenmcbride8859]

i live there for two years and i miss it everyday. there is someting special and kinda spiritual about alaska

[@BozardsInAlaska]

Come back!

[@BeccaBean2020]

I wish I could be there too! Gorgeous! Thanks for taking us!

[@BozardsInAlaska]

You’re welcome!

[@tomas6451]

Watching the real estate market up there. Would love to move in next few years. Just a few things to take care of

[@BozardsInAlaska]

Looking for a home, land and or cabin?

[@tomas6451]

Rustic home with lots of land, don’t want to hear or see neighbors 😊

[@felipesoares5900]

I'm watching videos about moving to Alaska because I had a dream this night about that.

[@buffalobill5526]

wow amazing and beautiful. love that you share all this

[@BozardsInAlaska]

Anytime!

[@MaximusCommodus]

I went this afternoon to Eklutna Lake but I couldn't make it. The first steep hill it stop me , lot's of snow on the road and also ice base of the road . I tried 3 times but my not 4 wheel car couldn't reach the top , So, I surrounded for today.

[@BozardsInAlaska]

Oh no! Maybe if we have another warm week soon. Do you have winter tires?

[@MaximusCommodus]

@@BozardsInAlaska No, I don't have winter tires. That car I am leasing and care came from New Jersey , it has summer tires.

[@denisewilliams1113]

I have a dream to live in Fairbanks. I'm so tried of Chicago 😤😤😤

[@BozardsInAlaska]

I totally understand. How did your dream of Fairbanks begin?

[@cathybozard2863]

It is so beautiful!!!

[@tracyworby4620]

A silent retreat sounds fun! 🙏🙌 It would be great to do one in such a beautiful place like Alaska. I’d love to visit some day, but the prairies of Saskatchewan are my home! Would never leave here permanently. 😊👍 🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾

[@BozardsInAlaska]

Highly recommend a silent retreat here!

[@jasonhaney3097]

Is it worth moving to ??

[@jasonhaney3097]

I'm moving there soon ! I need some help if it's worth it or not I mean I love the woods an outdoors

[@gtvchnl]

@@jasonhaney3097 well it's one of the most dangerous states... but it's soo beautiful! I mean if you're a very cautious person, then I would say no. But if you're a risk taker, then sure you can move there!

[@umbrellacorp.]

BozardsInAlaska, Alaska wow I just love the Ice & Cold.🥰 The Silence, the wilderness. 🏞 I will definitely carry my wife there on our next vacation.👫 🛩 Later. 👋👋

Nice video. Wish I was up there now. It's 79 degrees right now in S.W Georgia IN FEBRUARY !! :( Really should not be complaining. Could be 98 degrees and 80 % humidity in August. lol

I was born in Chile , up until 77' I was 14 years old, did my growning up in the barmuda triangle, Miami from 77' til 90' been to a few states always like Idaho & Montana, but definitely alaska is my choosing, I have been to Peru and Cuzco cross the Andes mountains live in the Jungle there, now I am back in Chile I hope to the Spirit God that may I finish my time in that beautiful place of yours, the best of what I like is there in Alaska, mountains wilderness, ocean, fishing hunting, I'm not much of a city person and agree with your feeling about nature and the closeness to God or the Spirit of creation I am not a religious person instead considered my self a Spiritual one. Bless you and your Family ! Love Light & Wisdom 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 Ps. Those are some great shots of Nature in opposite contrast🌟🌟👍🌟🌟

[@BozardsInAlaska]

What an amazing history. Thank you for sharing and hope you come back to Alaska soon.

I want to one day visit Alaska. Either visit and live there in Alaska or just to visit.

[@BozardsInAlaska]

I’d wager that when you visit, you’ll not want to leave like us 😉

LOL Most likely.

[@cherish1277]

@@BozardsInAlaska I was raised in a place where it snowed, from October to almost May, Sometimes there would be freak snowstorms in June, and even July. I didn't mind it as a kid, but as I got older, The cold was to much. It hurt my body to be cold. It's one of the reasons, I have been hesitant to move up to Oregon. I want to be near my mom, but I don't want to be in a place where it is cold more often than it is warm. I am Happy to view the scenery through your videos though,
