good luck go for it!!!

Well wishes from WV. I have been priviledged to grow up in an area that offers lots of outdoor opportunities... not great economic opportunities, but that's OK!

I'd rather be hunting or fishing anyway!

Blessings...

Life is too short. Good for you! Good luck. Keep us posted!  

North to Alaska!!      

It's not often I can honestly say I get to experience the real pioneer spirit. I can say I think you are showing us a wonderful example of it. Good luck and God speed.

God bless,Mudd

if you never pursue your dreams they remain just that.

Thats awesome, I wish you well.

A man after my own heart! Good luck, brother. My prayers are with you.

Good luck whereever you settle, best wishes to you, I am a few years kid wise before I can do the same

Best of luck to you!!! Hope you get to live your dreams!!          

Best of luck!  Shoot straight!

Thats awesome, pretty fortunate myself but I've still felt like doing exactly what you've done! Best of luck.Sounds like you made a wise decision rather than live your life and wonder what if!

I've done that twice in my life.

I never looked back.

Good luck and enjoy!!!

Major amounts of good luck wished your way. Keep us informed.

I'm a little over a year from retiring from a career in the fire service. I have dscussed with my wife my dream of Alaska, living in the SE region, hunting and fishing. It is a huge undertaking, and one I am giving a serious amount of consideration and research.

In my years working as a firefighter and paramedic, I have learned one thing for sure, and learned it well. Life is short. Too short to spend it toiling away at a job that, when you leave, they'll forget you in a matter of days, or weeks, and the place will purr right along without you.

My dream is to move to a place I can wake in the morning with a buffet of options outdooors. Camp,fish, hunt, shoot, explore, and see the things I want, when I want, on my terms. To build a small comfortable log home for my wife and I, a good sized boat to fish from, and to transport me to distant hunting areas. I would love to do it in SE Alaska, but I have a couple other spots to research as well.

Kudo's to those to who have forged ahead with thier dreams, and realized them to one extent or another.

I laid to rest a good friend this week, who passed unexpectedly at 42. A man full of life, and a giver in every sense of the word. Life is short, too short to barter with your dreams.

A dream left unpursued is an opportunity lost forever. We too often let lifes day to day distractions and challenges steal them from us.

While I dream of Alaska, if for some reason it doesnt happen, I do have a perfectly acceptable alternative. God willing sometime next year I will hang up my boots and helmet, and start the next chapter. I've been blessed with a good job and a great family. and the ability to dream, and pursue them.

Hope you find that greener grass friend.  Mostly, I hope you recognize it when you find it 8^).  Good luck.

Well if your wife is behind it then your ok..makes no difference what we think, but we all wish you two the best.

I could do with less winter, but to move out of the yukon would be a tough one, but who knows can't always be where I want to be...I have a wife of 28+ years and she has dreams too...just hope there is hunting and fishing there   :D
