We have native corporations that give members a royalty check.(Which can be pretty nice if the Corp did a good job of investing.) Mine is poorer Corp.

Most houses are built with federal/state and other help. People use to be able to afford to build their own but that has gone away with poor commercial fishing.

No roads so we all own boats,snogos and 4wheeelers.

We do without a lot of things.

The question is what’s the average normal price?
It doesn’t matter if it’s $16 if the “normal” price is about $8. It’s the same % increase if it went from $2.50 here to $5. It simply doubled. I’d imagine everything in that village is considerably more expensive than the lower 48.

Having said that, it sucks and FUCK BRANDON.

The women tend to be short and stocky.
But there are some drop dead gorgeous women. Just have to find the rare ones with any kids.

Wifi sucks in a majority of Alaska.

It looks like Biden plans to make the average price per gallon $6-$7 by August. That means $10-11 in commie states.

His awesome energy and economic policies will be to blame.

99% is delivered by fuel barges.
A few places are done by cargo planes.
Dc-3/6,hercs and another type of plane.
It can be cheaper by plane at times.

One year McGrath ran out of fuel and had to fly it in. Was way cheaper than barge.
They did not have to pay so much insurance.

Having spent a month in Bethel, and flown to some of the villages  I have a soft spot for AK.

That's ridiculous.  Does that village set prices for winter or do they flux?  Sounds like they need a hovercraft,  like on the Kuskokwim.

Prices depends on when they bought the fuel from the suppliers and the cost of barge/flying it in. Plus how much they have on hand.

The AP.1-88 Hovercraft is pretty limited on what it can carry.
The Lacv 30 can carry much more but much less maneuverable with no bow thrusters.

No road? Sounds like life on hard mode. Yeah, I guess it sucks for them, but one would think that the people there would be 99% self-sufficient considering the logistical nightmare that place poses. Talk about living life on hard mode.

Living in the Midwest at a place with no utilities and no road is a cakewalk compared to living there.

And enough batteries to store all the summers solar energy to use all winter. A few hundred thousand amp hours should do.

Fuel is expensive when flown in 500-1000 gallons at a time from nearly 100 miles away.

Typically with Air Tractors, sometimes a DC-3 or a C-46 fuel tanker. In years past FAA regs clamped down on how and with what the fuel is transported which limited capacity.

What are their historical fuel prices up there?  If they are flying it in, that average is probably already in the 10-12 $/gal range.

Use to be much lower.

Their river is hell to get up with barges.
Have to time it right so the water is high.


Fuel prices have gone up in Rural AK and have not really dropped when fuel dropped state/nationwide.

On the Yukon prices were cheaper than here on the Kuskokwim even though they had further to go. We get ocean going barges here. Yukon has to use shallow draft for most of the river.
Although a few lower Kuskokwim villages that are up different rivers are cheaper than my town.


McGrath for a few years had to fly fuel in and it was way cheaper than barge. They did not have to as much insurance for the storage.
