why would anyone want to live in Alaska. killing bears, living a cabin with no running water, no where to go, that would drive me crazy to live like that. nothing clean. I would”nt like it. never seeing a soul. day after day. I couldn’t handle it.
I visited Alaska and went fishing for Halibut in Homer and Red Sockeye in the Kenai, I saw glaciers and did white water rafting, old gold mines, visited Hope and other areas but it was way too primitive for me. I could never ever see living in an area like McCarthy, it has its spectacular views but there is more to life than just views and wilderness and so far away from medical.
There are many people and surprisingly, a lot of young women, who love that lifestyle. As they say, to each his own. When you have that desire and that love of the connection to nature, there is no way you can make those who can’t feel it understand. I’ve always said, “It’s nice to have all this modern technology and it does make life easier, but at what price?”
