RE: Railroad Alaska
The surprising bit was I expected a program about the railroad, but it's mainly about the off-grid homesteads along the track. I know Alaska is pretty empty, for want of a better word, but just how far these people are from anything was a bit of a shock. Especially when most of the people in the first series were OAPs. One dude was 88, still travelling to the creek daily to haul water back. His land he owned was 100 square miles!

Looks like a nice lifestyle, if you can deal with the snow. And the bears. Maybe, one day, when the kids have flown the coop, we can emigrate and build our own cabin. I think I'd like to be a little less reliant on that train for being able to reach civilisation though, just in case.

Awesome place though, must visit!
