The prices may be high, but what a time to be alive when one can get watermelon in the arctic!

Surprised the atvs weren't a million dollars

Jaw hits the floor...those prices are out of this world

Cute wifey. She's comfy in more ways than one.

Great video. Life in Northern Alaska has always fascinated me and have wondered what it would be like living in Barrow, with names like "the top of the world" and "land of the midnight sun" thanks for posting

Not a lot surprises me but I almost stopped breathing when you showed the price of half a watermelon

I used to work for Alaska Commercial and helped set that store up when AC moved into Barrow. More importantly, I met my future husband right there in that store!

WOW!!! $70 for a whole watermelon. That's just nuts

$37 for half watermelon? That better be the best-tasting ever for a price like that.

Best ride along video yet by far. Felt like I was almost there too. Thanks for showing some of the best of Barrow. See ya down the road. LOL.

Thank you for the tour, good stuff. Barrow is on my "someday" travel list.

Whoa... $36 bucks for half a melon? Here in FL we use wild ones we get in the fields for target practice! That is some sticker shock! Barrow does look like an awesome place to visit for a few days. Might have to add it to my bucket list for whenever i can get an Alaska trip together. Thanks for sharing!

My father and I took a trip to Alaska back in 1993 and we went to Barrow for one night. The morning we arrived we went on a tour on a school bus. The driver was the tour guide and he was good. We saw the worlds most northern bridge..high school...city hall etc and told about the hundreds of millions of dollars each building cost to construct. If I remember correctly city hall or the high school cost over 110 million dollars. My father and I went to a supermarket to get something to munch on (we sat down at a table and ate some fried chicken) and we saw the price of items. I think it was 12 dollars for a jar of Skippy peanut butter. Later for dinner we went to an Italian restaurant and my gosh the food was so good. A lot of memories I still have of Barrow like for example the speak easy that was located across the road from the sheriff's building. Alcohol was illegal back then in Barrow and I wonder if that is the case still today. Alaska was great just like my father was and I miss them both.

Loved this trip! Thanks for taking us along. Great job.

Awesome trip and very educational! I was used to Alaska prices but those were crazy! Thanks for sharing with us. When we get back to AK, I will certainly add Barrow to our need to visit list.

hisandhervlogs..loved the video, and that last song yall played in the background, rocked.....lol

Enjoy your videos from the comfort of my small town Nebraska home....well done, really get the reality of what it's like way up there! Thanks!!

i really appreciate the vids on barrow ive been thinking about moving there so this helps a lot!

Thanks for the video. Food prices blew me away. I wld love to visit just to experience the midnight sun and also winter for all round night and the polar night.

Maybe The Price Is Right should make some episodes in Barrow...

Thanks for sharing your journey!

Whoa, those are some steep prices! The Salmon salad on the Pilot Bread sounds yummy. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing this video and your experience of exploration! This was awesome and what a real eye opener as to live above the circle! I'm just south of the 45th parallel and so looking to get to Alaska some day. You guys do a great job with the video and editing. I like that your videos are like real life experiences. Thanks again!

OMG!! Prices are crazy. And I understand why, but no thank you. I'll stay in the boring midwest were the cost of living is reasonable and we enjoy 4 seasons, more or less. But you kids enjoy yourselves. Thanks for the video.

The prices are mind blowing, but worth the trip. love traveling with you. Thanks

I can see the high prices on most of this stuff but a gallon of water for $9.50? Seems there's plenty of clean ice and snow up there to melt for drinking water.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. :-)

wow, very useful information. tq for sharing

I could never live there, but I'd love to visit Barrow just to sit on the beach and stare at the Arctic Ocean. How long does it take to fly there from NYC?

I moved to Alaska from California for a year. Really loving it here so far. The prices for food in Anchorage is no where near Barrow prices. More comparable with Cali prices. I've been to Seward, Homer and a few other places so far. Barrow, Sitka, and Ketchikan is next. Nice video!

The fact that a gallon of water and a gallon of milk cost the same at around 10 dollars shows that most of the high prices is because of the difficulty in transportation. It also explains why condoms are reasonably priced, given how light it is.

Great video. Thank you for sharing.

You mentioned your home in Seward. Fun town. My wife and some friends were there a couple of years ago, and we had a blast. We brought our fresh catch to the Apollo Restaurant and they prepared it for us. We had way more than we could eat. Fond memories of a wonderful state. Our visit was way too short, so I can't wait to come back again.

No wonder why my former room mate great niece went major shopping when she was visiting us! She was from barrow and she came for a week to los Angeles . All she did was shop! She bought stuff that wont spoil. Then she mailed it back! she spent more than $1000 but she said if she would have bought it in barrow it would have been triple that!

Like I said in your last video I have lived in Barrow my whole 13 years and sometimes you can rent Hondas. I know because I own 2, many people lend their Hondas to people. Now that it is getting warmer in Barrow I think you'll have a better chance at doing more things. After school all we do is go for rides out to the point, whatever pops in our mind. Just some ideas

Reminds me of my when I was stationed at Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage back in 1976/1977- received TV shows usually a week delayed and Yes as you see- cost of living different higher than Lower 48 (CONUS)- and farther areas in AK- like Barrow- $$$$

Nice video thanks for sharing. I just feel way luckier living here in Miami. You guys are real warriors living up there...Respect!

No sun ☀️, no warm, no reasonable prices... YEAH, OK BOOK ME A FLIGHT asap

Pilot Bread is a revered food in the Alaska I used to know. Also popular: Spam, Worcestershire Sauce, Pigs Feet,; among the usual grocery items. Mother Nature provided the rest. Nowadays, they have much more to choose.

Great tour. I do have an Alaska trip on my bucket list. (Probably not Barrow, though...haha) I've heard from friends who've gone that is absolutely beautiful.

Really neat place. I had never thought of traveling to Barrow but now I really want to. I'll bring my own groceries though. Wow.

awesome video..thanks for sharing

Music was dub at just the right time .I really felt I was a welcome guess of yours,CooL ...how cold was it what was the expected weather. What did you`ll have to eat that day .

I bet the Northern lights are beutiful.

Simply awesomeness. ..

Pretty cool. Been to Alaska. Want to go back and visit barrow.

You guys rock. thanks for the vid

This is epic thank you

Years ago I flew from Florida to Seattle to spend Christmas & New Years with an old high school friend & his family in Gig Harbor . Some of my flights were on Air Alaska . Going out I changed planes in Denver and flying home to Florida I changed in Chicago O'Hare airport. I liked flying Air Alaska .

Hello. What a great effort, presentation and spirit. Thank you. Am fascinated by Alaska and Canada. You know, nature, communities and all that. Particularly people who try to make the best of it, who try and respect nature. Genuine best wishes from Kent/Sussex in England.BourgeoisPhotography also does a great film about Barrow. Thanks again to them.

But a bag of ice is free

WOW..big money! Given my budget today, I'll go with beer and a pleasure pack!

10 dollars for a gallon of water, wow!

Interesting Video Guys Thx

I'm moving to Barrow Alaska to become a watermelon farmer. Big profits! :)

Amazing........

Great video....Thank you...

Living in Canada I do not find these prices shocking.

What an amazing village. Thanks for the tour. Barrow reminds me of when I spent a summer in Nome. I thought that Wein (?) Airlines jet would never lift off of the Anchorage runway because the front half of the plane was full of cargo. I guess the only affordable way to eat up there is to live a subsistence lifestyle. You kill it & grill it. Try not to get eaten by a bear while you're hunting & gathering. Just can't get over how it was in the 30's in the summer when you were there (on another video). Glad you made it home safe.

The condoms are useless, nobody getting any up there.

Nice video!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!

wow that's amazing

I certainly appreciated you taken me on this trip to Barrow. Very enjoyable and informative. I have to wonder how to folks up there can afford the food. I know that I could never afford to live up there for any length of time ... I guess I'd have to learn to hunt and fish for most of my food.

I am trying to convince my husband to move to Alaska or at least visit but with those prices that's not going to happen. I'm kind of losing my faith. 😯

Crazy how can anyone afford any of those prices??

Subed great informative video

nossa que bacana! meu sonho poder conhecer esse lugar!!

I'll think about Barrow Alaska on my way to the Dominican republic

Love the opening song sweet home Alabama Roll Tide

At my High School graduation they gave us a free Alaska Airline ticket to anywhere in the State sadly I never used it, I was planning to go to Barrow.

Save $37.....Pour some sugar on some snow. Tastes sweeter than that pale watermelon.

Wow, I knew it was more expensive up there but 10 bucks for milk and 39 for watermelon!!

either you have to be very rich to live there, or get a helluva lot of food stamps

To learn more about life in Barrow Alaska just as your local freezer.

Cool video

$2.60 for 1 roll of toilet paper...i can`t spare a square, i don`t have a square to spare.

wow the prices! They must smoking good Cheeto pops dang!

loved it

Thanks this is so cool, '

Wow those prices in the grocery store. I wonder how much grocery shopping can be done on Amazon Prime. Ha ha

They work for the oil company I would at least think gasoline would be reasonably priced

Great video. I wouldn't mind going to Barrow just to visit someday. Btw, what's the song playing at around the 7:00 mark? Nice tune.

Amazon prime is good, usually takes a week or two to ship.. although I remember buying a game and it took about 3 weeks

Great video, I enjoyed it and I live in Wasilla. Isn't the only state you drove through Alaska?

I’m sure it’s answered somewhere in these comments- but what is the last song? Love it. We’re in Eagle River - I had some fellow social workers trying to recruit me to Barrow

Hi Ben and Rebeca how's it going great tour of Barrow I have a Question is their a way you can tell me the prices on things in your home town or do a tour of the grocery store ?

I watch a lot of shows on Alaska and I've never been able to understand how they can afford new trucks, four wheelers, snow mobiles and boats and motors but live in shacks that look like they couldn't hold heat. With the food prices you showed how do they afford to buy groceries too. When I was in Vietnam I had a friend that was an Alaskan native he said he never learned how to drive a truck until he was drafted but had a plane and pilots license from the age of 16 I'm not sure where he lived but the primary means of transportation was float plane.

Those prices are insane!

Minimum wage in Barrow is $75 per hour 😂😂😂

h n hv, what about living accomadations,prices.Ive read about a housing shortage n to not go there if your gonna rent?Thanks.

For the record all, The average income in Barrow is also rather high, The average being 80,000 a year, opposed to the National average of 50 thousand

Thanks .

thanks

The Prices are Astronomical.

My wife and I will be making our first trip to Alaska in June on a Princess cruise. For some reason I've been watching a lot of videos of Barrow. Barrow appears to be sort of a depressing area but strangely enough, I would love to spend a day there. Unfortunatly, Fairbanks is the farthest north we will be going.

With the way prices are going in the lower 48 states in the corporation drug chains such as rite aid and Walgreens, we should catch up to your prices in a few years. I swear the only thing that keeps them in business is the pharmacy. Everything else is EXTREMELY overpriced. 7.00 for a half gallon of orange juice, 6.00 for a 14 ounce of hot dogs. Ice cream brand name is 8.00. Catch my point? Any how good video and thanks. Have a safe day and good luck.

I was amazed with the high food prices. I've also noticed that the average resident from Barrow makes around $50,000/year. What are the most popular jobs there? And how much do minimum wage employees make?

That was an awesome trip to Barrow. Prices are high but the price on the craft work I thought was a bargain. Native work in the lower 48 like that would cost hundreds of dollars. I guess bigger audience equals bigger price tags.

nice vid, cute couple :)
