I moved to Alaska because of the low population. I have been here just a little over a year and love it. Hopefully people don't start moving up here in droves.

When I moved here there were only17,000 people in the Mat Su now there are close to 100,000. People already moved here in droves. Only the main roads were paved and there was no 4 lane roads north of Eklutna. The only light in Wasilla was at Main and Parks intersection and it was flashing. The speed limit was 55 all the way up the Parks. At Denali there was no development on the Parks Highway.

@@alaska_realtor I moved up in 1979. I bought my first home a little over a year later about 10 miles North of Wasilla. Back then this time of year driving home from Wasilla after about 7PM is wasn’t uncommon to not see anyone else on the road that’s now a 4 lane all the way to Big Lake. Those were good times, you could leave your keys in your vehicle even when shopping in Wasilla. For years I never locked my house even when I went to the slope..

mas-su valley is the best i my opinion but a hidden gem if you can stand the cold is copper center- Glenallen area. i love fishing the Klutina River and the dip netting on the copper river is less crowded, wrangle St. Elias national park is beautiful.

It really does have a lot of perks to it! Another benefit is that it's not really a tourist destination by itself like the Kenai so you see less during the summer months

Jamin I've been watching your videos for a while and while I have my own idea I was wondering where you would recommend for someone in a law enforcement capacity? Obviously the bigger cities like anchorage and fairbanks but how about "smaller" towns or Burroughs? Thank you!

Thank you for watching! Good question. I would probably take a look at Palmer/Wasilla or possibly the city of Kenai or Soldotna. Those really stand out to me, but I'm approaching it with no experience with that background so take that with a grain of salt.

What is the situation on woman in Alaska? I'm planning to move in 2023 . I have seen some videos can't recall it were they said the ratio between woman and man is 1 : 10 in Alaska. It's a bit hard to believe. You should make a video about that.

lol! That's actually a topic I was talking with someone about recently. Across the board in AK, it's going to look pretty bleak, BUT when you look at where most people live (Anchorage, Wasilla, Palmer, etc), the ratio actually balances out pretty well. If you're going super remote, then you'd better be taking someone with you lol

Medical is very expensive. It may be better to travel to the lower 48 for major surgeries. My health insurance through my employer actually covers travel and hotel for certain procedures.
