Sure, go for it. Just curious why you picked the interior? What part of the interior, pretty big place. Well I'm looking at places like Tok, Delta Junction, Glenallen, Healy, McGrath, Chicken. My reasoning is pretty much just based on good bird hunting and trapping being available.

That's because you're looking for grinners and coons. South of Delta and west of the Delta river is some big, lonely country. Cub would be handy to get on that side of the river but there is no end to landing spots

People seem to more regret what they did not do more than what they did do.
However, in my Alaska travels I found the Kenai peninsula the most interesting by far. Yes more people but not everywhere all the time. More opportunities to make a living or work seasonally and still remote beauty. The area around Valdez was great too. Well I guess I liked anywhere along the coast the best. Can still go inland, but many great reasons to live near the coast. I could live on halibut. I have never been to the other coast -Ketchikan and that area. Worth looking into for sure.
There are very wealthy people in Alaska, and very poor as well. Be cautious with your money or it will no longer be your money. Don’t believe or rely on what you are told. Many scams. Cash on the barrelhead for everything. Don’t trust that you will be paid for your work. Much of this applies everywhere.
If I was your age and single there is a part of the population I would definitely want available. Definitely check out the great Alaskan Bush company. Be sure to wash your hands after you leave.

However, in my Alaska travels I found the Kenai peninsula the most interesting by far. Probably one of the most beautiful spots on the planet. I owned a small parcel of land just off the Kenai (keen-eye) River. Halibut and Red salmon are my favorite fish. I've traveled over much of the state from the North Slope to Valdez, Homer to Kodiak, the Yukon River to the Alaska Peninsula. Hunted everywhere and fished many places. You need more than a couple of lifetimes to take it all in. It will help you a lot if you are skilled in a trade. Really skilled.

You have to be careful about trying to trap in any of those areas, unless you buy someone else's line. The areas accessible at all to the highway are pretty much taken.
Trapping in Alaska has issues you don't think of elsewhere.

My wife and i moved to the interior 3 years ago from Oregon. We love it. We also had the money to do it..We bought a place out right. We are 40 miles from the city. Work is out there but good paying work is harder to come by unless you have real marketeble skills. I have been getting buy doing carpentry piece work with a guy i met locally but its hit and miss...need a real job with benis now and am looking at commuting to Fairbanks. Wish i could have a sit down with ya to share our experience...my service is choppy and i dont like to sit and type on the phone....lol At any rate i say give the heart what it wants...but be prepared.
