Is anyone here from alaska? What are the pros and cons of living in the great state? While i do not expect to find many Poalrs there, from a tax point of view, it looks tempting. what are your thoughts? Is is crawling with far left loonies or simple folk who want to be left alone?

There's an amazing independent film called Tailbound Alaska I'd recommend. If it comes to a film festival near you I recommend it.

Film maker: https://maxromeyproductions.com/

The film maker travels during the summer months and it does look quite amazing. But I get a feeling the movie is pretty deceptive in the sense he had to have filmed it in a really narrow window, probably around May or June.

Wendover productions does a good video on a town that's the more norther place in America:

It doesn't sound like you'd be that far out, but it still seems brutal. I'd suggest going to that city to visit for a few days and get to know people first. If you can survive it, maybe Alaska would be alright. I know I couldn't I spent several winters in Chicago and Ohio and both were way too much snow for me.

thanks for this. the area that i'm looking at seems to have the best climate there, but i dont have any illusions. the first thing people will tell you is how brutal the winters can be. with that being said, the people seem to be of a different lot than where i am. people up there tend to look out for each other more and they also seem to take their homes seriously. while i do not expect to travel back in time, i think that alaska offers much of what i am after. the cost of living will probably be what turns me away, but they also do not have many of the usual taxes so there is that.
