I live in bush AK during the summer April-September started wintering in the panhandle of FL recently. Best of both worlds. I lived in Anchorage for 7 years and don’t miss it. Living off the road system in Alaska is so liberating and the most free I’ve ever felt. Having an airplane and being a pilot is definitely the Alaskan flex.
I'm in navarre florida, between pensacola and destin I'm sure you know the area, Next summer, working on a salmon fishing boat in the cook inlet in homer, Thinking of truck pooling, splitting gas and road time. Don't know if that's something that interest you. Or if we're compatible. But as you know the drive is long, expensive Sleeping while in rout is better from my experience than staying at stinky hotels
I lived in Florida so I know getting away from the heat is number 1. The beaches of Florida are missed now that I've been in Texas. So Alaska is looking good because the landscape changes your attitude and expectations that most people in the lower 48 will never get to do. I'm glad Jamin you covered the no snakes in Alaska. You're actually the first to discuss it. Do a video why you move from Texas to Alaska. Thank you, Jamin.
Grew up in Florida, 20+ years in Melbourne. I have been stationed all over the world and have no desire to return to Florida. We do not plan to leave Alaska because it brings together everything we enjoyed in our travels. Especially not being attached to your neighbor!!
Great video Jamin, my wife eyes lite up over the no snakes comment as we have seen our share of snakes around over Florida home and can’t wait to move to Alaska. And congratulations again on your engagement and we really wish the best for the two of you👍👍 FJT

Born and raised in Miami, been in the fairbanks area for three years. Biggest con in my opinion is home ownership. Repairs, especially in the winter when everything breaks, leaks, or just stops working. The cost of heating oil is crazy and the winters last a long time here.
I'm still in Florida, but I bought my 4 acres oceanfront in the Chugatch, 1hr by boat from Seward. Cannot be happier. You forgot the most important point, there will be a civil war, and you want to be somewhere safe.
And nothing to do during those long, cold winters. But you have mosquitos the size of 747s, I hear. I have seen exactly 2 snakes in the past 23 years in Florida and I live next to a national forest. And I go camping. No snakes tp worry about unless you go play in the Everglades, and nobody does that. Gators are no threat to humans if you don’t feed them. I swam and skiied in a lake forever that was full of gators. They do not bother people if people don’t bother them!
Comparing Miami to Alaska is not exactly fair. I loved Alaska but did not care for Anchorage. Spend a bit of time somewhere like Pensacola, Cape Canaveral or St. Augustine. Worrying about a hurricane isn't a thing here either. Homes are built for it now and you get a week's notification. They also really don't level an entire area like a Midwest tornado does - otherwise you wouldn't have cities with buildings that have literally been standing since the 1600s. The problem with insurance in Florida is the litigation turns a partially damaged roof into a million dollar lawsuit. The biggest storm here is man made. The next will be the man made storm of deferred assessments on condos. That's going to be BAD.
Oh one more thing. If you're a single guy, spend 5 minutes looking around a Clearwater Panera or better yet, your average Florida law school. I got my JD at Stetson School of Law & Modeling. I was married so it didn't matter to much to me, but it was still there.
But does Alaska want a theme park?? I keep saying that a certain snow-filled-princess-movie themed ski resort is the way to go! - says a girl who can't stand the heat but chose to work in theme park construction
@@roseinkmythcaster 😆 sounds like you found a natural career path! Make the theme park happen. 😃 I’d say Alaskans would like it to be a bit easier to access, like if there was a nearby state we could drive to in a day, but maybe not necessarily right here with us.
Love Alaska never liked Florida may be God grants me my desire to move is the family that is holding back oh by the way I lived there for two years 1982 1983 Anchorage Naknek , King salmon came to Florida for a vacation Miami got marry and that was it went back for the first time for a mini vacation with my wife in 2017 in December and loved it all over againg. I follow you hopefully one day I can call you hey I need to by a property.
Good afternoon sir! Love your video! ❤ Im moving to AK for a new job! Can I send you email to receive the moving or travel checklist/packet please? P.s. Congratulations on your engagement! 🎉🎉
We moved from SC to AK one year ago Oct 1st. Never looked back, and never been happier.
That’s what I wanted to hear
THANK YOU for not coming to Florida!
@@Brineytoes Lived there, done that.

Funny you should mention it, but I’ve already shot that video as well 🤠
@@alaska_realtor Ok, I know because we've spoken about it before. But I meant you do a video why a person should move from Texas to Alaska. :)

C’mon back home then. Why live in harsh climates when you can go to the beach insteac?
Military stationed me here xD!

Not me. I’ll stand wit those willing to fight for our couintry and not be cowards.
RUclipschannels9205 you are the type of person us real Alaskans really don’t like
Been wanting to move from FL to AK for a few yrs. Now.
Where in FL do you hail from?
Yay! Go!
@@alaska_realtor outside Ocala.
Alaska...no snakes! No big scary spiders! If you own a dog...no ticks or fleas! I guess a grizzly can be just as scary as a crocodile...
😊😊😊
True. And a grizzly also hibernates for a good chunk of the year. But also, I feel a grizzly in a run-in is more dangerous…

@@alaska_realtor Polar bears don’t hibernate, and residents have to be armed every time they leave their house due to the danger from wild animals!
I didn't know about the snakes. Could you bring a pet?

Ooh, Augustine is great! It really doesn’t get the attention it deserves (probably preferable for people living there).
@@floridadad2817Why do u call Stetson the school of Law and Modeling? I thought they were ranked pretty well....
@@pale4life412 They are. It's not an insult.
Obviously you didn’t live through Hurricane Andrew and experience the devastation that I and many others experienced.

If you need a theme park in Alaska, you're definitely in the wrong place!
I lived in FL for almost 30 years. Alaska is better in almost every way
Ya but there are no alligators in the lakes there.
So say it's "Summer" In AK whata the temperatures range from in AK? Say Anchorage AK for example.
@@makaylahampton1996 probably about 60-75, depending on the time of the summer. Sometimes warmer, sometimes colder.
