/trv/ — What is there to do in Alaska?

It's a very expensive place to visit. Most brokies find seasonal employment up there. May is the starting month for many jobs.

my mom tried to tell me to go to alaska instead of appalachia and I wanted to throttle her

Alaska is increadible if you are an outdoorsman

>>2879880 (OP)
Hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, snowmachining, skiing, any outdoor activity you can think of. The natural beauty of the state is completely unmatched. There are a lot of problems with the people, however.

work at fish cannery

Word is people who work at those canneries are constantly sick with colds and coughs due to the shared living quarters and chilly damp conditions. I recently caught the flu while traveling in a cold place and it was fucking miserable. Constant shivering, no appetite, hacking cough and fever. Fuck that. Give me a warm climate any day.

lots to do if you're a linguist. learn and teach and Indigenous language. I learned at UAF but I think you can learn at community insitutions as well. The largest language, and easiest to find classes in, is Central Yup'ik, but you can also learn Gwich'in or Tlingit at UAF and UAS. Spend a few years learning and then you can start teaching. Get involved in the revitalization effort. Besides languages, the cultures are also very much worth learning about.

Hard to find girls up there though.

The "native Alaskans" (i.e., Inuits and other aboriginals) have serious problems with both rape and alcohol. Also lots of violence while drunk off their asses.

There was a pretty sad story I read a while back on some forum, some guy talking about how he got hired on a contract to do some repairs out in the oilfield, and he met some really nice girlfriend at a bar while he was out there. He was kind of shocked because he hadn't expected to pull tail that easily, and then she explained that because he was an outsider she knew he wouldn't be raping and beating her constantly, so of course she wanted to be his girlfriend.

Anyway, you can 10X your investment by flying booze in to some of the "no alcohol" villages. Of course if you get caught they can try to throw you in prison for it. IDK how the law works about that stuff up there, there are some weird rules about local jurisdiction over tribal members vs nonmembers when you get into tribal law.
