You have just described me; retired law enforcement from California and moved to Arizona; retired at age 51, and I have not worked ever since; been retired over 5 years; everything is paid including my house and have a pretty lucrative pension and thats not including my retired military pay that I will soon receive at age 60 (retired from the Army Reserves); I have no children or a wife; I wished I took more time investing into a healthy Christian family; it gets kind of lonely at times, but I do have God in my life; without Him I would be devastated! Family Family Family; thats what I think all young people should invest in; money definitely does not bring happiness or joy; God brings Joy; I love ur youtube channel (been watching for years) and your adorable family!
Howdy James You are in such a special place to volunteer with homeless or hospital driver, a soup kitchen (I do) ,an arts area, answering phones for shelters, teaching English to children. I am 73 and love volunteering.....makes my day. Your gifts need to be shared..
Thank you for your military and law enforcement services. God bless you.
Geezers. It's never too late to start dating. You may find a single ( for whatever reason) mother with children , and maybe grandchildren. Get a dog , take it for walks. You never know who'll you'll meet. I'm almost 70 and just found a new man friend. Just being companions right now. May stay that way, may become something more. I wish youvwell in finding a companion of your own.
Hi James Thank-you for your service! God knows the desires of our hearts and he works in mysterious ways, I will keep you in my prayers..
Family is everything!
You really miss them when they pass away.
My sons are grown. It’s just me, my dogs and RUclips.
Glad you made it home safe Bert. Looked like a difficult and dangerous job. Enjoy your home and family now.
It's 2 am in Norway and I'm so happy to watch you. You are the best. Lots of love.
That’s why I just moved to North Pole last month. My customer in Fairbanks asked me to relocate from Houston so we could take care of the better. Love living and working in Alaska.
Jessica, I totally understand what your going through. My husband travels to install, fix, and teach on large equipment for periods of time. It's always nice to have hubby home especially after a trip way out acrossed Alaska. When my husband travels I don't sleep well, and I worry. Good to see Bert arrived hime okay.
I have two sisters. One has a hubby who is away for work all week. The other has a hubby who is gone two months and home two months.
The back ground music while turning the power on😂😂 Sound like the climactic scene in an action movie. So suspenseful
Wouldn't work there but would live there, I'm retired. Single Dad most of my life children all on their own. I have a rare medical condition that I would need specific medication for and could not get there. You have a wonderful family and relatives. Have a good day!
My hubby watched this with me..if we were younger and knew this then..I would love to see Alaska...tfs
Howdy Bert from south Texas. No way would our family could work in that type of weather. I do love Alaska in the summer A LOT!!!! I feel like yall are friends and I pray all is well with all of the family. The Somers family are real tried and true people I would want as neighbors. God Bless
My ex husband works in anchorage on big construction equipment as a mechanic and makes $52/hr. He’s there 3 weeks and then back home to va for 3 weeks. Same exact job he was doing here but for way more money and he gets 3 weeks off at a time!
Bert your such a good family 👨👧👧 👨👩👦👦 what a sweet happy family man🎉🎉🎉 love to you all ❤😊 thank you for your show 🙏 ❤️good family man
I hope you know how blessed you are to have your wife she supports you fully and is absolutely beautiful!
You’ve just described my 20yr old perfectly! I think he’d do great in an environment up there and he’s getting ready to get his welding certification. We’re planning to move to Alaska after my youngest graduates High School in 2025 so maybe he’ll look for jobs above the Arctic Circle after he gets some time under his belt 😊💙😊
That will get your heart rate going, messing with electricity! Holy moly! Glad it turned back on and everything went well.
Loved the background music during that too! That was a nice touch.
Have a great weekend!!
I learned something. Use your non- dominant hand. You'll miss it less if it gets blown off! Yikes 😮
My husband works in the renewable energy field. The company he works for is international. To make the most money he can he has to work out of state/country. The last 2 years he’s been in Canada, we live in Michigan. It has its up and down for all of us. A lot of mental in there. We keep the end goal in mind and do the best we can. Rough going most of the time but we get through.
You are such a dedicated worker Bert & Jessica You always hold down the fort wonderfully...
GBY ALL 🙏❤️💙💖💖💙💖🧸🐕🤗✝️
Continued PRAYERS Papa Somers 🙏❤️💙🤗✝️
Lived around the corner in Fairbanks from yall in the early 90s. Thinking about coming back up in a year or two, see the changes. Im a surgical instrument tech for about 7 years now. Maybe the hospital or remote areas might need a knucklehead like me 😀. Haven't commented on your vids much, just appreciate the nostalgia. Hope to be there again soon and find a renewed-new path. God bless. ❤👍
Happy Thursday, SOMERS. So glad y’all are still staying safe and warm during winter. I hope you’re having a good day. It’s now officially February, the black history month. I’m glad you SOMERS are still together. Fresh off from Christmas, 2024 continues on and so far so good with you SOMERS still staying warm. I hope y’all have a good day. Continue on your road on getting the gold play button.💛💛💛💛
I'm absolutely loving your channel, your beautiful beautiful family and your love for all things good & the lord. I've had 2 weeks off work and other than shop, clean etc I've watched hundreds of your videos as I didn't find you until my time off. Wishing you all the best of luck, love, success and happiness always.. Becks from England, U.k at 3am ❤😂❤ Xx
I wouldn't mind going up that way for work. I am retired Law Enforcement 23 years, and prior to that 14 years Military. I am looking to change scenery for a bit. I've always wanted to see what Alaska had to offer.
When you shut off the secondary disconnect, I was thinking maybe the safety lock broke inside on the handle. I'm glad it finally came back on!
Nice to see you guys.
Yes. I’d try it working up north. I’d do better in the winter than the long summer days.
Prayers for the Somers family.
It was so pristine up in that 'neck of the woods'. It still looks so beautiful but all of Alaska is something. There used to be 3 ancient back up generators but now they seem to have one. IF you think the system that you shut down Bert is old, you should have seen the one that was there Back in the day, at least the one I saw. I was told it was from the 1960s. That was once a point in which the Army would use. Most of the jobs there were seasonal which was why it was interesting. It was from winter to winter; you didn't necessarily do the same thing. Stay warm!
Great video! I really enjoyed watching!
great suspenseful music! you guys rock!
Great video thanks Burt for telling us about the jobs and all..in glad things went well for while working!
Always good to see a video from my favorite family 😊
Love watching your videos, in the part of the world I've never been to. Love how close you all to your families, and how you get through your everyday lives. Blessing from Northern Indiana!!
Feel like that too Bert, and I’m an RN. It’s a vocation. I enjoy nights but have no family.
Happy new year from Canada 🇨🇦
Good job Bert many blessings to you all 🙏🏻💚
I’ve noticed this channel has turned into Jessica being MIA in most of the videos except for a 60 second pop in and Bert has taken over the reigns. Definitely a different channel compared to when I first started watching years ago.
Bert, I know your family miss you, when you travel, But I just enjoy it so much, when you do. I have never been to Alaska and would love to go to the great state of Alaska.
Another Amazing video From Amazing Happy People ❤❤❤❤
I have to say you use the best music in your videos.
Twenty years ago, I traveled all over the Eastern seaboard fixing computers in factories. I loved it at the time. It helped me get out and see the world. We're "empty nesters" in our 40s, but I'm not sure if I can break my sedentary habits anymore.
Wonderful vlog! Thank you for sharing with us your amazing experiences in Alaska. I have always been fascinated by the life in the North (Arctic Circle specifically), and your insights and beautiful footage just give me a sense of what life is up there. Best from another northerner (Canada) ❤.
Great video as usual! Definitely a great opportunity for someone who likes traveling. ❤
January for us has been a bit of a trial, praying for a better February. Wish we could go there, its beautiful. Love hearing about you and your family's life! God bless you all.
Hello to the Somers family your husband is a good man they work is very hard and sometimes dangerous be care take care praying for all.❤😊🙏🙏😊y'all got alots of snow.❤😊
Glad you got everything working. I don't think I could work in rural Alaska. I like to be close enough to people so I could go somewhere to talk to someone.
✍Hello Somers Family... Bert so glad to see you tonight. I think why you're doing so well is because people trust you and the jobs you perform. I've always believed "what you do comes back to you" and You and your family do a lot of good for people and you're raising your children to do good for others. Praying for Safe Travels to get you home 🙏 Good Night😴 God Bless LuvYa! Bye from Ohio🌹
Stay safe on all your work adventures Bert. Hope your dad and mom r doing good, plus your sweet family always waiting on your return
I have relatives who have worked on the North Slope.
Great video. Thanks for the information on the jobs! ❤
Alaska is interesting
Thanks for sharing
Glad all went well with the job
❤
I live for these videos! ❤
Good to see you again. Be safe
Hello Somers Family, thank you for your video ❤.
lived in the Yukon in Canada for years, my ex husband traveled the whole far north ... moved out in 1990 - now a senior ... haven't been back up there in years but would do it again if i could and were young again. I found the people so different then the "south". God bless and thanks for sharing. Hugs from Southern BC
Happy new year happy peoples 🎉
Happy New Year to you too!! :)
God Bless your family. We love you!
In Arizona we always check our boot
before putting them on. Scorpions etc.
not so in Alaska
Hello Sommer family good to see you made it safe
Hi, i just want to say i love following your life and your family in alaska. Sending some love from Norway.
I've seen some of the ice road truckers filmed up in coldfoot!!
Hello from NC!
Sounds like the money can be good, BUT the cold and darkness would wear on me. Fun following you and your adorable family.
Sometimes I'll see posting open in Anchorage to transfer to.... if I was of a younger age yes. Fairbanks is a contract station for us. But I loved Fairbanks ❤
I wish I could have a job in Alaska, but only for the long term.
Love watching your videos I couldn't live there I freeze here in Kansas we had the coldest January with wind chills of -25 degrees. Hope your dad is doing good.
"Golden Handcuffs" are how the employers keep a lot of workers from leaving. As in the lower 48, aircraft workers made a lot of money in the past. However with acquisitions and lower respect for workers has disappeared. When I was in law enforcement (late '70's to early '80's) AST was advertising here for LEO's starting at >$30K. I would have come there, but family said no. And I regret that nearly every day.
Great info! I love Alaska but i could not live there. I love watching you live there.
Ive been missing your videos!
Wow- I recently began searching for jobs "up North" - what a timely video! God bless.
My nephew works at the North Slope, two to three weeks on then off for two. It's something you need to adjust to, he loves it.
It was nice seeing the land .
Hi. We’re doing fine in Florida. This winter has been great. 60’s-low 70’s days and 50’s at night. Windows open and AC not needed. Been following AK weather and the deep freeze. Isn’t there a worker shortage in Anchorage? Boy, this would be good for my 21 yr. old son. He has issues but maybe the pay and just a change in scenery might help. 🤔 Is Coldfoot the last place you can drive where there are roads?
Blessing's from Tampa Florida love y'all ❤
Hello happy peoples ❤❤
If i was single i would definitely do some travel nursing in alaska! Idk if i would want to live in alaska long term but short term stints would be cool! I love warm weather and the beach, pool etc too much! Love watching your family!
It’s been so cold here in Palmer! Crazy how much colder you guys have it! -30 this morning at my house.
Hello from Canada 🇨🇦
Coffee and the Somers vlog!! Perfect way to end my Thursday evening!! Love you guys, y'all are the best!!💖🥰🙏💖
I thought about going to Alaska cuz it’d be cool to experience. But then we got a little snow that hung around for a few days and I realized I’m prolly not built for the cold 🤣
Nice video!!!!
I think if I'd known about Alaska work, I would have explored it. By1980, I was so wrapped up in college/total love with my girlfriend/ enticement of a part time radio job. Other choices got drowned out. I thank Jesus for the chance to 'watch from a distance'. knowing I can be 'The Bert in Maine' via the Blessings from Our Lord!
I would have loved to work up north Alaska. I worked in northern Canada in my late 20’s and loved it. Too old now!
@I would live there in a heartbeat! single no kids ive been moving north my whole life so far made it to northern maine near canada. im getting there lol just need a place to live and job and i would love it
Thanks for sharing. I noticed that overnite on FEb.1. its going to be -51. In north pole Ak. Were have been nearly 50' above and tapping our maple trees. My son is 19 work ing 12 hr. Shift on the weekends getting paid 30.00 hrly. This is assembly work. RN. Working at our local nursing home are making $55 a hr. Were in central Wisconsin.
Love your smile lovely jessica❤
I would absolutely LOVE to work anywhere in Alaska!!!
Hi love you all!
I would never be able to handle living there, but I love your videos.
Great vid! Definitely, absolutely would NOT consider working up north lol. Too cold and too remote. Beautiful though.
Hello from Ohio.. I was wondering how you guys were doing.... Always good to see those faces🥰
I wondered if you’ve seen the series ‘True Detective’? Season 4 just started on Max and it takes place in a small village in Alaska. It’s starring Jodie Foster. It’s soooo good. I feel like I’ve learned so much about Alaskan villages from Bert that I can see where they really nailed it on a lot of things. I also checked on filming locations and they filmed in Iceland, which was disappointing. However the cost to film in Alaska (hence the title of this video) would be astronomical in sure. I feel like the more shows they have out there displaying the way of living and culture of Alaskans is great. This one is a scary but humorous show and not for kids. I feel like when Jodie Foster decides to act in a movie or show you just know it’s going to be good. ❄️
Thank you for the sweet advice :) Im an introvert, but I need to force myself :)
Thank u :)
As an electrician experienced in residential, commercial, industrial, and controls….. I would LOVE to take a few jobs there and possibly consider a life changing move!
So interesting!!! What about children and their northern life experiences??? 🥰🎶❤️🎶🙏🙏🙏🏡🧊🧊🧊🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thumb up to help people around the world! Rudi.
Have been to Alaska in my younger years in the military and nope don't care for the cold. Retired and live as far south in Texas as you can go.
Don't get me wrong I love Alaska, but only in the summer now.
Hello Somers family
Holy cow reminded me of the part in jurassic Park when they had to run out and restore the power and he says; Hold on to your butts… he saves the day then gets eaten sadly, very glad all went well on this one.
I’m on my plane to deadhorse right now 3 Months can’t wait 😊
Yeah I would love to work up north I live in Alaska and work in Denver I hate it
I’m an Etech in the oil field
I’m a truck driver here in the U.K. , I average anywhere between 60 and 70 hours a week , with regular 2am to 4 am starts and 15 hour days, and been away from home Monday to Friday , so I’m used to the work I’d just love to do it in Alaska .
I would love to be a truck driver up there but I can’t handle the cold
I was once in my early 20s when I was on active duty; only for a few years (many years ago)
