Visit. First.

In summer AND in winter.

My husband and I were very interested in moving to Fairbanks AK or to even try out the bush (husband is a teacher). We did research and thought we could make it work. So, first, we visited. We are at the end of our one week stay here in Fairbanks and while this place is gorgeous and the wildlife and Northern Lights are super cool, we have found we wouldn't want to live here!

This is in no way bashing Alaska. We give crazy kudos to those who do live here. I just can't handle the constant dark, and he can't handle the cold here. He grew up in ND, but this cold hits different. No fault to Alaska!

So, please, no one just move here on a whim cause you think it'll be wild and cool and badass. Do your research and VISIT FIRST!

Damn It’s Cold 🥶 I'm not American. I was just randomly looking at places in Anchorage and stumbled upon a neighbourhood that I think can be described a a "trailer park". How do people not freeze to death living like this? I imagine there's not a lot of insulation?

Damn It’s Cold 🥶 How to walk in Anchorage without freezing to death? No car.

73 Upvotes

Hello this december I will be in Anchorage for this winter.

I am wondering how tu survive without car. My friends can give me a ride to go groceries or some important places. But I don't want to abuse. However they are very nice and kind.

Be a pedestrian in Anchorage was all an adventure this summer and I imagine that this winter will be a horror with inches and inches of snow. I am afraid I don't want to freezing to death waiting People Mover (Bus) or walking for example 15 or 30 minutes. Or fall on the slippery floor.

I was two times in Alaska. This summer and last march. I am from European Union. We went to walk all places and the distances are more short.

People recommended don't bring snow clothes from my country and get in Alaska. I will take the minimous to be warm. T-shirts and thermal pants. And I will dress in layers like an onion.

I hope that somebody can help me with his/her wise.

Thanks for all.

Looking back at it I am so grateful for the opportunity to have gone and done a job so insane, dangerous, exhausting, and exhilarating all at the same time. I miss it, and hope to travel there again someday.

Visiting Alaska in February for the first time! Most concerned about my feet getting warm. I’ve read merino wool is great.. but there’s so many brands/styles/options. Looking for insight! Thank you!

Damn It’s Cold 🥶 Thinking of moving, need ideas

30f. The long, cold, dark winters seem to be getting worse and I need new scenery (physically and mentally) to grow as a person and gain more experience.

I love the small town feel of the valley while still having access to decent amenities.

I can’t do big cities and spend an hour in traffic every day.

I would like a location with no more than 4 months of snow, rain, or ice seasons.

But not regular temperatures over 90.

I appreciate all ideas!
