Tell me about Fairbanks.  It is possible that my company might be moving me up there.

Not a lot to do.

Everyone at the range has an AR/AK/MGs/SBRs etc.

Winter sucks but the summers are beautiful.

Yup.  The cheapest hole in the wall apartment will put you back $800+ a month before utilities.  For a house, expect $1300+ with a $100+ electric and $200+ fuel bill.  Gas is $4+ a gallon in the winter, double your average fuel usage to include warming your car up before driving, etc.  Going to need to idle for 10-15 minutes before driving to get everything up to demp in late nov-late feb.

-65f in the depths of winter and 80+ and smokey in the summer.

Great fishing and hunting though.

Thanks for the replies guys.  I read about how the summers can be smokey and obviously the winters are really cold.  Coming from Texas, the winters will be tough.  What I am also wondering is how are the people, crime rates, and what areas of town to live in.  Also how to get my ammo and rifles up there.
