No state tax, no building codes, no property tax, no HOA! That’s a few reasons I picked where I am. Of course no building codes is how my cabin ended up needing a bunch of work! And yeah, I carry because of animals mostly too. No state lets you live more free than Alaska. Love Ron’s channel! I found him because he comments your videos!

Much as I love Utah I can't wait to move back to Alaska full time. Worked four summer tour seasons up there in college over 10 years ago and always said I feel like I left a piece of myself there. The beauty, wildness, personal freedom and responsibility, no income tax, no codes or permits, outdoor recreation, are some of the many reasons I love Alaska. An extended family member may be inheriting an old cabin on the Kenai Peninsula and they've offered to let me live there for free for a few years in exchange for renovating it. That will be my foothold into living up there full time forever I hope.

Sadly, we have city sales tax in Sitka (5% off-season, 6% during terrorist season), PSG has city sales tax, and I know KTN does, too (borough + city = 6.5%). We bought our big boat through BayCo in KTN, and at the time of our purchase, their sales tax applied to everyone equally, regardless of where you live, and it was capped at $65. Now, they're required to charge you sales tax for large purchases based on the sales tax of where you reside, which means our Lund that we just purchased from them cost us 11X more in sales tax than our North River. Seems like they get you coming or going, but I'd rather the tax dollars stay local. The other great thing about living in AK is that you can, if you put enough effort into it, live a subsistence lifestyle and spend little on meat or veg. 😊 We're excited for you guys and your new boat--let the fun, and an all new level of anxiety, begin!

Wow you are right that Fairbanks is so different from the area you live. I was stationed at Eielson AFB, Alaska in the early 80s. The winters there are damn harsh and long to put it mildly. I am a very outdoorsy person that was born and raised in Montana. However, I did not enjoy my time at Eielson AFB. It was mainly because I was a 20 year old single Airman living in the barracks. Being single my tour at Eielson AFB was 1 1/2 years long. I arrived at Eielson AFB in October if you count the 18 months I was there you will realize that I spent 2 winters and 1 summer there. It took a lot of the fun away from it. That fact that I was stationed more than 30 miles south of Fairbanks and there were very few young ladies made it much harder for a young Airman. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to enjoy a lot of Alaska the way that others do. Even if I did go hunting, salmon and halibut fishing I wouldn't have been able to store the meat. I did do some catch and release fly fishing for grayling during the one summer I was there. Oh, the one thing I almost forgot is the skeeters. It was almost impossible to go outside during the summer months unless you had skeeter dope on. I have never seen a place with so many of them, and they are very large.

So I'd been researching a place which fulfilled some of my ideas for personal freedom. I live In Texas, while you'd think it was a free state, there's some things I don't like. We have annoying sales taxes and you can't buy full cannabis products. While there is a lot of freedom with personal armaments, it's kind of not the whole package when it comes to other things. It's really crowded and people like to impose their beliefs on you, both left and right. But like the vibe I get from Alaska is folks kinda mind their own business. Yall seem friendly, but not in the fake southern way (sorry if that rubs other folks from around here the wrong way.) I'm not a living off the grid kind of fella but I appreciate that in a place in Alaska, someone could do so if they chose to. It's just, pardon the pun, a more chill place from what I've seen and watched other youtubers post. Keep up the good work my man.

Love watching the dogs run wild in the snow. Alaska is just somewhere a good sidearm is pretty much a requirement unless you're never getting off the asfault in Anchorage. Even then, the moose are like stray cats here and I have my 10mm even when I take the dog out because you never know when you walk out the door and a moose is right there. Usually they don't pay you any mind but there is always that chance you step out on a big bull or a cow with a calf and things can get "wild" real fast. If I was healthier and was able to live out like you guys, i'd do that in a heart beat.

Glad to see y'all are doing alright and keep living that dream . Thanks for taking us on your journey of life . Well I. Live here in Kentucky and we have alot of freedoms here , like the freedom of concealed carry without a permit or a license and most 9f it is extreme country living . God Bless Y'all and Stay Safe ❤️🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲 . I'd have to say that Kentucky and Alaska would be my only two choices where I'd want to live at . I've been hunting , fishing and trapping with my Dad all of my life and been shooting and owning all types of guns all of my life .

I hear what you’re saying. Life without freedom is not a life, but one’s personal freedom cannot trump or impede on the rights of others. I reside in northern Canada, a very similar environment as yours except, I don’t have the limitation of living on an island. I wouldn’t want to have to leave here. Americans are a proud people, so proud that hey are extremely biased about their country. That’s fine. Pride can be blinding. What is important is that you are happy and comfortable with who and where you are. I enjoy checking out your channel once in awhile. Man this global warming is literally changing our lifestyle. More reason to honker down. Enjoy!

MatSu Valley has a sales tax and so does Palmer and Wasilla. But I would trade it for anyplace. Well maybe the Kenai Peninsula where we have our cabin.

Unfortunately I think people misunderstood what Dave was saying about Off Grid. His point is some people think it's an easy life ( by watching scripted TV shows and yes some KZitemrs as well) and I'll buy this and that etc and go into debt if that's the case stay where you are. Off grid living is not easy life it's hard work and the point is to be free & debt free. I think I asked you before, is your boat a distance from where you live because it's easier to launch, more sheltered and less currents/ debris? Hi to Dianna and the pups. Blessings to you and your families. 😊🇺🇲.

Hi Patricia. Yeah I get what he’s saying but there’s always going to be class brackets. If you don’t have much money going off grid isn’t going to change that😂 Yes we keep the boat over there because it’s more protected. It’s about 1/2 a mile away from the cabin.

I think the point Dave was trying to make with his video is that if you see someone living "off grid" in a mansion with no responsibilities, no outside work, there's something fishy about that. Off grid living is difficult and takes a lot of doing. There are a lot of youtubers (not Alaskans) that have a fake "off grid" experience. Which is a problem for a lot of ppl that want to go off grid but have no idea what it really takes.

I'm not from Tennessee but, they are trying to advance the freedom of it's people. Gold and silver is recognized as legal tender for taxes and such I believe. The are pushing back against big federal government. Fiat is dying. Alaska is #1 in my book though. My cousin and family lives in Soldotna. Give us a tour of the town if you have time. Looking forward to seeing the new boat. Stay Free!
