I nice thing about living where gold is in the dirt and the water. Always a “Plan B,” especially at 1,600/oz.
About the only really big hassle of living in Alaska is having to put up with the long winter, I swear I would just love to find a way to hibernate myself if it was medically possible, and its not a financial possibility of snowbirding to somewhere warmer either.
But there will always be food available even in the coldest part of winter, actually there are more moose at the lower elevations during the winter. They migrate all over my property. A single moose will feed my family a long long time. Great tasty ultra lean meat. Actually better than beef.
