Being alone is more desired then you robotic city people think lmao

Will you go back?

Wow i can only imagine, awesome.

When U were Peeing. Does The Pee Froze ?

jedediahbc when your everyday is preparation for surviving you really appreciate later in life to turn a knob and get hot water.

@@williamtate6268 was that a reference to ayush's comment lol. Joking aside I completely agree that the early days of struggle are the best to the aforementioned thread

carol strickling Nome is my favorite bush town. I worked at the Tin City radar site near there and also 50 miles outside of Nome at Pilgrim Hot Springs.

is Nome Cold ? i hate the cold

lite codes It is, but not as cold as you would think. I worked at a camp near Nome called Pilgrim Hot Springs August to early November 2013. Only two snows and they melted within a day. But it rained almost every day.

Awesome 👍 😁 love ❤️ Cooper Landing Alaska

spent all the taxpayer money for insulation on booze...

And that is the warmest part of Alaska. Just imagine the coldest part. I see the attraction of living there. It is very peaceful, away from the hustle and bustle of large, heavily populated cities, but it's remote isolation means that everything has to be flown or barged in only three or four times a year, when the weather is reasonable. The cost of living there is, therefore, astronomically high and the prices of food and other things are far more expensive than in mainland cities. There is also no hospital in sight. What happens if someone falls seriously ill?

Hahahahaha big buds on it.

I spotted one at 10:51 and commented lol. Ill check out 11:20..

Cowboy Geologist yes! The bugs are huge, it’s a joke that the mosquito is the state bird

Mukluks. Its too cold for shoes here.

Patricia Vyce. t

solar woudln't work when you need it most consider how much darkness there is during the winter months. Most of the populated areas of state are covered in overcast and/or near steady rain a lot of the summer months too. There are exceptions such as in the interior but most people live near water and mountains and that means solar won't work due to limited sun

There not worried about the cost it cost them nothing you the tax payer pays for there needs do your research !

John D There are actually mosquitos and other biting insects.. they kind of just adapted to being up there

Once the temps drop, you won't see one bug for months! When it starts getting warmer an the upper layer of the dirt thaws, there are more biting bugs that you can imagine! What you were seeing there was actually mild!

You DO realize the shipping cost would be 2 to 3 times what the house costs ? ☆

They live off the sea and oil revenues, which is about $4,500 per year rebate. That's for everyone in the state of Alaska.

leegenix Yes, I've heard that but sadly... not for long apparently The oil money to the state has been plundered... so the "oil party" is almost over.

sure....? govement support ?

They get Dividends from there corporations depending on which corporation you’re from and how many shares you have some of them get quite a bit of money.

I lived in the High Desert, South of Las Vegas, Nevada years ago. There were little to no stores or a gas station. Everything had to be delivered from Las Vegas every week.In 1988 I moved a single wide mobile home there and the next morning there was snow on the ground.I had a large opening where the Add On room was to be attached later. I learned very quick that winter to be self reliant and how to be a Fixer Upper.

@ Yelloworangered You could pose that same question to people living in most major cites. It's very expensive to live in New York City too and generally NYC produces nothing, but garbage, sewerage and air pollution. I mean mostly they just sit around in concrete boxes using imported resources and complaining about how they deserve more.

Because we are indigenous to the area. My ancestors have lived here for who knows how long before up until now.

do you think your urban highways and road constructions, bridges, streetlights, and municipal services (police, fire, hospitals, whateveR), are self supporting and not funded by public dollars? what about the millions on millions of urban welfare recipients and public housing projects?

You’re right but you forget where you’re posting. You probably stumbled on this like me. These guys like this. Or at least the idea of it.

Isn't that the weed that's not that strong i think is called wild weed

That's wormwood 💀

Why build in New Orleans? Why build in Houston? Why build aling the coast in FL? Why do people live on islands? BECAUSE humans have built close to water since we have existed on this planet.

So just continue doing the same. That's how we always did.

I rather live in a warm climate such as Florida,than freeze in Alaska.

+S Dew , Alcoholism is common with all Native tribes, always has been, since before the Europeans came here. The tribes already had their own alcohol, Cherokees, my ancestors/ people, made beer from a honey locust, and black locust, trees, trees that put off a pod full of sugar-y liquid that ferments. The black locust was used to make cough syrup, the honey locust to make beer. The reason many think alcoholism is high in tribes is that they are all diabetics, or hypoglycemic.

Only because I seen that the cost of their utilities are outrageous!

Off the shelf wind turbines don't cope well with real strong winds.......

Believe me there are huge quantities of government funds poured into these villages. Who do you think is paying for the project featured in the video?

They use a lot of seal oil in their cooking. Seal oil is a natural to aid the body to fight off the cold.

I’m originally from Sturbridge Ma and now reside in Alaska, the cold in Ma is a humid cold where the cold at 20° feels like -20. The cold in Ma goes right threw your close. In Alaska it’s a dry cold 20° feels like20. -10 feels like your in a walk in freezer. It’s dry and cold but tolerable. Just dress in a few layers and your good.

+Shawn Xavier How is it?

It's fair if the few you're referring to are mostly indigenous peoples.

Douggg1000 it's okay for the Great State of Alaska to "perpetually" fund its own communities of colonization, BUT LEAVE OUT its indigenous communities, for State Projects? What kind of a community do you think Alaskan people are as a WHOLE, and how do you think it SHOULD BE? If you don't like it so much, come in then and become involved in Alaska policies to see if you can try to prevent that from happening anymore so a LOT LESS of your perpetually snotty jealous-sounding- of- Native people/communities-comments from individuals like yourself could become heard a LOT LESS! HOW does THAT SOUND???

uh, I lived in Alaska around 20 years. I have traveled all over the state, from Gambell on St Lawrence Island, to Nunivak Island, to Cold Bay, to Ketchican, to Prudoe bay, Selawik, Huslia, Nome, Dillingham, Bethel, Hooper Bay, I have stayed in many villages for a couple of months each. I have spent two and three week solo float trips down the Kobuk, the Good news, the Aniak, the Kanetok, the Kisaralik, the Wood-Tichiks, upper and lower, circled around Lake Illiamna, lived on the Kenai R., the Kenai Reserve lakes, canoeing and kayaking, I lived in Anchorage as well. I am familiar with village life, and twin engine otters, skyvans, and 207's. One of the native elders who I rented his son's house from for a couple of months gave me a native name as a gesture - KopKana (spelling I am not sure of). I said it was complicated issue. There are plenty of homeless outside of native villages that would love to have what native have, housing-wise. How much do you think those schools and teaches costs for the handful of students in the villages? Natives are in a difficult situation, they are kinda stuck, but so is everyone else. How do I think it should be? Subsistence changed from racially based to consumption based, consumption must be within ten miles of the kill, to accommodate natives in the villages, which have few non-natives, except for schoolteachers. Commercial fishing changed to only Alaskans and in certain areas like the Kuskokwim downsize the vessels to a maximum size of maybe 25 feet to allow for predominantly native fisherman, but racism not being in the rules. Also get rid of the racism of the Native only Hospitals. Medical treatment funded for natives, yes, but not segregation, everyone goes to the same hospitals together. Why don't I come to Alaska, be involved, and change the policies you ask? It is because I am 68 years old, have lived here down in the lower 48 for the past 17 years, taking care of my elderly parents, who my mother recently passed away, and my father is also gone, and have higher priorities than solving the problems in Alaska - which for me running the race in my life is close to Jesus coming soon and his reward is with him. Nothing is going to be right in the world until Jesus returns and the Kingdom of God being the ruling power on earth - which then if the Lord is willing, He may decide put me over Alaska. Do you plan on being there in a resurrected/or translated incorruptible body? There is no native, non native, in Christ.

Moving water is often not profitable most water sold in bottles comes from the tap. In the netherlands the tap has a higher quality than bottled... With transport being expensive in Alaska i doubt bottling water will be profitable but i've never been in Alaska..

The villages a big portion of the them are near the coast and have fuel barged in. Those barges leave empty. Instead, of leaving empty, fill them full of bottled water cases. Small bottling plants setup in every village, which would give jobs to locals (which would be mostly natives0 and some income. Alaska native organizations should be the action group in making it happen, for the villages in the state, where there is good tasting water to be exported.. There is plenty of good tasting water in Alaska... that is just flowing out into the ocean.

I think wind turbines to generate electricity would be a great idea for that area. And I'd much rather see the Feds help these people out more than the Katrina victims where everyone is on welfare and live under sea level.

Fast winds brake wind turbines, this would make a HORRIBLE spot for a wind farm. Slow, steady and reliable look for that.

But not if a design plan is implemented for a low center of gravity Stainless Steel housing mounted turbine

The winds are too high and too fast for wind mills....... terrible idea in general at this location

Someone should design smaller robust turbines designed for high wind areas.

We pay out the ass to live here, so it's not a net gain. It's much cheaper to live in the lower 48 in taxed states.

pay them to live there? have you been watching the simpsons again? This year the pfd is $1600. let's see you make that go a year when a watermelon is $12.

Are you saying a metal truck container underground would just keep sinking even with a gravel base?

Not for sure but I think the ice would cave in the walls. Why do they not have basements or foundations.

Wherevcsn they get gravel??

Where can they get gravel??

I know frost in Maine requires reinforcement in easements otherwise they cave in.

No it wasn't, kussaqs came and brought drugs and alcohol taking our friends and family. They would kill someone or die. There are 7 or 8 yr olds chewing or smoking. And plus kussaqs are making yupik languages diminish. And you think that Alaska becoming a state is wonderful. Why don't you come and live here and see how it is.
