Big Lake, Houston, Point Mac, up into Willow, Talkeetna, Petersville are probably decent bets for you, op.

I discovered a channel on YT that'll give the OP an idea of the challenges up there. This couple lives in a 320sqft cabin near Willow. It looks like they're doing well but they also don't have kids and have invested quite a bit in equipment.
They're also give out a lot of good info on homesteading: Simple Living Alaska ETA: I had the same idea as OP but I'll stay and enjoy our 9 month growing season here. |

There can be a massive difference between relatively short distances, especially when you factor in the ocean. Where I live sustained below zero is relatively rare, 50 miles north you can get a month straight of it. If you're actually serious I'd recommend the KPB or the MatSu Valley. Fairbanks weather breaks people who are "used to the cold". |

OP, I was invited to come work for IBM in the Fairbanks area about a decade ago. I started talking to the other techs that worked in the area.all if them moved there from the lower 48. Of the 10 techs, 8 were divorced or actively looking for way to get out. Anything that far north is a frozen hell for long periods of time. Look a little south. Homer and closer to Anchorage. That's what I'm doing now. In fact...sitting on the porch of our Airbnb outside Homer at the moment! 50 degrees! Fairbanks? Nahhhh man. Fuck nahh.

The "old breed" is dieing out and replaced with kombucha sipping bunny hugging leftists, and as far as being "as far right as you can be" that doesn't mean anything to me. Ive had plenty of "good conservatives" that tried to lie , cheat and con the system like any liberal leftist.

I lived in Juneau for 2 years, and loved it. The wife, not so much. Didn't help that several of her relatives died while we were there, and last minute flights (even from Juneau, which is much closer to Seattle than Anchorage or Fairbanks) really ate into our savings. Of course, my job sent me flying all over Northern AK, from Deadhorse to Kotzebue to Tok. There are occasional land sales, even some where you go out and stake your own boundaries, and the
The interior of Alaska is cold. There's a reason the Army's cold weather test facility is located there. I inspected several projects in Fairbanks where the DOT had installed power outlets in parking lots for engine block heaters, to reduce emissions from everyone leaving their vehicles running in the winter. Yes, it's that cold. If you go, make sure you have an engine block heater installed prior to moving. The soldiers at Ft. Wainwright are told to do that before they move up. Alaska is dark in the winter. Even in Juneau, it was routinely dark when I drove in to work, and dark when I left. Often the only natural light I saw was when I went outside for lunch. And that was if it wasn't raining too. The whole Seasonal Affective Disorder is a real thing. It is really hard to comprehend what that does to you over months of almost no sunlight. Fairbanks is getting less than 4 hours of daylight in the dead of winter. That said, the summers are pretty amazing if you aren't carried off by mosquitoes. When you can get out of work at 5 pm, and have a whole extra day's worth of sunlight to play, it's pretty amazing. If you can't swing a whole year on a trial basis, I would highly suggest spending a winter there, to see what you are getting yourself into. If you have to rent sight unseen (as I did), you can hit up the HTF and ask around for someone to take a look for you. It was definitely a load off my mind knowing LESPAUL1 had walked through the house and met the landlord before getting on a ferry and shipping all my stuff to Juneau. |

Showoff I didn't even get a whitefish spear draw this year.  OP, Fairbanks is a whole different ballgame from the southern areas of the state. Hell a few years back we had a big storm that knocked power out for weeks in -40 or colder temps. Thankfully I lived right next to my job back then and my employer was on the 'oh shit' list to get power restored to, so we were only down a few hours. That was in the heart of Fairbanks. Outskirts were weeks without power. Expect to get punched in the wallet on everything as well. 87 octane gas is ~$3.73 a gallon today, ammo is $1-2 per round for 5.56 and you can't ship it from the states, etc. Unless you know what you're doing for the obscenely short growing season, you won't get squat from your garden by fall. We hit high 20's as a low the other night already. To be blunt, the vast majority of people I know are looking at leaving. Hell, I grew up here and I am strongly considering it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By pumbaajk: Why are they leaving? I still want to move to a place where I can be left the fuck alone... I guess it depends on how much you want to be left alone. There are plenty of places that you live near others, but your neighbors won't bother you. The thing is, a lot of Alaska is still really like frontier living. People depend on each other when shit gets bad. There are those that go completely hermit, but it's nice to have a neighbor who can help if you are stuck in -40 temps in the dark in the middle of winter, with no power or heat. Alaska will kill you if you aren't careful. And even sometimes when you ARE careful, it still can kill you. The State also sells parcels of land, both over the counter to residents and non residents, as well as auctions and remote recreation cabin staking program for residents. If you did go up and rent for a year, you could be a resident at that point, and have more opportunities to buy. Maybe living on the outskirts of Wasilla or Palmer or something would be better, and then buy a remote plot and build a cabin from when you want to completely get away for a while. Here is the DNR website describing land sales. |

We still talk about you guys and the things we shared, glad you came up for a bit. @armstrong001 King Crab opens on Friday... Got bait today and away we go. I really wish I had stayed a bit longer and did at least one more hunting trip. It's strange living anywhere else where you can get to hunting grounds in a couple hours, to think that you could instead have a five hour ferry ride, then another 9 hour drive just to get to the vicinity of where you want to hunt. All to be told the herd has already passed the area and you're out of luck, lol. I haven't given up on coming back to Alaska at some point. Our agency is putting in a remote field office in Wasilla, to manage all our road construction projects in the state. I might move up there in 3-5 years, depending on how work in this area shakes out. One kid will be off to college by then, and the second will be ready to start high school. If that window doesn't work, maybe after she graduates as well. One can dream I guess. |

I'll tell you why I am leaving after I retire in 6 years 11 days. The combination of factors. We have all the woes of the lower 48 but 2X the costs, if I have to put up with lower 48 problems with sky rocketing crime and taxes then I want 4 seasons and the ability to drive to different states. #1 Medical care is 2X what it costs in the lower 48 and and specialists of any kind even a decent ENT are backlogged for months. #2, property taxes just keep going up and up unless you are over 65 or 50% service connected veteran, (for now there is a tax break for that class) then they just over value everyones house to make up for those tax breaks. The boroughs and cities (Even Mat Su & FNSB) like to shit on property owners rights whenever they can and use a great set of arbitrary rules for deciding anything. #3 infestation of lefties (everywhere), massive "catch and release" of criminals and drug users an nothing is being done about it. I've lived here since 1993 and its changed alot, I can only imagine how the old timers feel about it now. Alaska has become a land of hipsters, environmental activists and anti developers who make their $ off government funded or "think tank" funded studies and pandering to special interest groups. Oil & gas / mining jobs are falling and the construction industry here is in shambles largely. The companies building things now are from my experience pretty shady on the residential side of things, and on the commercial side large native corp backed ones that just grind through people and crap on them over and over. In almost 30 years few new oil fields have come on line, mining isn't going anywhere, timber is dead and fishing is all Seattle based trawlers or factory ships. It's not just my opinion even the Alaska Chamber of Commerce is backing it up with data. |

One specialist is in Seattle, another in Phoenix, all expensive but way cheaper than the idiots up here. Don't get me wrong, we have some good docs, but I'd say a good 75-80% of the specialists are idiots that are here because nobody else except places at the end of the road would hire them. |

North of Fairbanks would be brutal. Brutal. I’m a life long Alaskan. I’d way rather live in the Glenallen area. There’s huge areas there will no local governments, little law enforcement and zero property tax, so you can actually own your land. The more I go up there the more I like it.

Everone is very correct with the statements made. We have made it here beyond our expectations. Housing, medical, and just life is tough and expensive. We are making five times the money here and have more complex issues.
We are 10K out of pocket for medical waiting for insurance to reimburse us, takes about 8 months to pay back. We have great insurance. Hunting and fishing is unreal and the ability to share with others is a real blessing. That said... this place is a single man's paradise, but no place to just get away. Alaska will just make you go away with no support network. The people make this place work. Our time is short also... PM me and I will share contact info for an honest info channel. |

If your up to the challenge Rural AK has some nice areas where you can put up a big garden but no livestock. They are areas that get cold in the winter.
Would be stuck using the native hospitals and they are $$$$ to non-Natives. Gas is $4.53 and higher. Loaf of bread is almost $4. #25 sugar is $40 #25 flour is $30-40 Propane is over $10 a gal. Five dozen eggs is $20 A do all snogo is +$14k. Might get by with cheaper but would be limited. |

I probably wont keep up with this thread, but PM me if you have questions and want to talk. I live about 30 outside of Fairbanks on 7 acres. What you want can be done. It will look a little different than you think, and there is a learning curve, but there aren't any obstacles you can't prepare for. PM me if you need or want. |
