A family living remotely in Alaska.

[Mortblanc]

There are several Alaskan homesteading forums on the internet but be aware that if you think I am blunt you will be shocked by them. They will set you down and tell you how things actually operate and when you start to look like you are going to they will slap you upside the head and ask you want part of "listen to me!" you did not understand.

Most of them are old timers who have retired from the woods or folks living in the "accessible parts" such as the major cities or the Keni Peninsula where communications are available.

There is a point when one can no longer function in the bush without young family members to do the hard physical stuff. When they hit that point they come into the city, get their "council flat" or move in with family and finish their days conversing on the computer.

Not too many internet cafes, wifi hot spots or fiber optic networks in the AK bush.
