i've been watching that show, alaskan frontier or w/e it's called.. it's the kiltcher family and they have a homestead some where up in ak.. looks like a really hard way to live imo..
much respect for that way of life.. imo, if you want to drop out and live up in ak, you'd be better off doing it when you're younger then waiting till you'll all old and shit.. it's a shit ton of work imo, much better suited for a younger person, but i guess old alaskans are just tough by nature..

Nah, it's... a lot of hollywood bullshit. Guarantee you bring that "hardass" my way and I'll have him wimpering and crying about the elements. I'd take him for a sheep hunt in unit 12 and he would crrrryyyyyy lol.i've been watching that show, alaskan frontier or w/e it's called.. it's the kiltcher family and they have a homestead some where up in ak.. looks like a really hard way to live imo..

now, if you actually live in the wilderness of alaska, yes, it can be hard.. but.. even the natives stuck a deal with the "civilized people" to make their lives better. We won't get into that topic though.

At at Fast Eddies twice in Tok...great food!! Drove from FL to AK and back in a Toyota minivan with 2 65 pound dogs. 16,000 miles and 7 weeks on the road; great trip. Food was excellent everywhere we ate.

Fast Eddies is the only restaurant in Tok lol. Well, the only decent one.
I always eat there if I'm in the area.

How do I know that this post isn't fictional? You could have googled fast eddies lol!!! j/k man.
When you drive from FL to AK, did you take the southern route or did you go north to dawson and come down the taylor highway? Tok to Dawson (taylor highway) has AWESOME scenery. Probably the best I've seen this state offer to be honest

We went from FL to Rochestr, MN for the Flatcoat National, then across I-90 to WA, tok a right thru Bellingham and staright up thru BC gravel roads and logging truks, hit the ALCan for a VERY short time, entered AK and stopped in Tok. Left Tok taking LEFT from the motel to the first traffic light and went by a school and headed toward Wasilla where we stayed at the Best Western on Lake Lucille where a friend of mine had an equity position. (3 doors down from Palin's house) Still think I Googled that? LOL. And it was butternut squash soup. Thought that Denali was a waste of time. Drove to Seward and had a 1 day cruise. Got more details...thought the Indian Culture Center next to Elmandorf was cool. Took my dogs to a female vet in Anchorage for recert. and had some frozen seafood sent from the little 10th St. market to my bro.

Nope. Sounds legit to me. Sounds like the southern route. Going to dawson first (northern route) is about a 200 mile out of the way trip, but well worth it. I used to take underage girls to dawson to drink and party. 18 is the age there. hell yeah i would make a 500 mile trip to drink when i was under 21!!!
Numsi, Glad you got to see Alaska. Florida is very nice too. I like visiting pompano beach. that is one of my hiding spots

I lived in Venice (retired) for 6 years and moved "several hundred" miles north to continue my retirement. I was able to go to Anchorage on business once, too. Had a great week up there....steer clear of the moose and bear
