Does everyone in Alaska live in a cabin?
Does everyone in Alaska carry bear spray?
And is everyone in Alaska kinda like you and me?
We’ll go over all of this, plus so much more everyone. So, grab a smoked salmon bloody mary unplug your car and let’s get ready to skidaddle. We’re gonna unbox the state of Alaska.
Look at that fishing boat. He’s gonna get a big ole’ haul here boy. Cod, Halibut, crab, and of course all the different types of Salmon you can think of. There are six species of Salmon caught in Alaskan waters, and fishing is a $12.8 billion dollar industry in this state. 5 billion pounds of fish are caught in Alaska every year, and Alaska accounts for 60% of all commercial fishery production in the USA.
Of course fishing is a big deal here. I mean this state has more shoreline than all other 49 states combined. And fish have been a big part of the Alaska culture, since, well Alaska wasn’t even Alaska. Like when it was just all indigenous people. Living off the land has always been a fabric of the life here in our 49th state.
But more on the importance of fish later. I mean Alaska is a lot more than just fish, snow, trees, guns, crude oil and weed. It’s full of natural wonders, natural resources, and, there’s actual cities here, too. And it’s not ALL a frozen wasteland peopled by rednecks with moose kill in their pickups and ice in their beards. And not EVERYONE lives in a cabin. In fact, hardly anyone here lives out in no man’s land.
To get a real understanding of this state, we should kinda of check out all the different areas and places to live here to see what it’s really like in The Last Frontier.
This is Alaska. Now at first glance, you’ll see that just about everyone and everything of note is down in the lower part of the state. That’s because it’s much warmer down there for one, and it’s closer to the water. There are LARGE parts of this state where a human hasn’t even stepped foot.
Let’s start up here in the FAAAR North.
