Gonna move up to Alaska in April. Confirmed with my future boss up there that he is going to hire me and had a good talk with him making sure we're on the same page. So I gave my boss here my notice which he appreciated the advance notice. So I am excited to move somewhere that I have no doubt is going to challenge me in many ways but also somewhere that I have wanted to go for a long time. The working season for this contractor runs from roughly April to either end of September or possibly into October. So if I happen to decide it's not for me I can move back to Idaho for the winter and resume my normal routine here, which I enjoy this state very much as well and it also has a lot to offer. I may end up coming back to Idaho for the winter anyway, as I've been dating this girl I like a lot. She works from April to November in the South on contract as a helicopter pilot. We will see where things go as far as that goes but at 31 years old and not being married or having kids I figure now is as good a time as any to head up to the North and try my hand at the outdoor opportunities Alaska has to offer.

Good luck l am jealous just add transplant to your current name.

Way to go.congrats and good luck

Thats Awesome Wild_ IdAlaska

Do it now or regret the having not taken that opportunity.

If it works out, GREAT.

If not, GREAT!

At least you made a change for the better in your way of thinking.

Nothing ventured. Nothing gained,

Bye Eric. Keep in touch via email or Tman. I'm guessing we'll not see you down here in Idaho for 3 or 4 decades. Enjoy.....

Good for you!

I'd marry that Copter flying girl....Then move to ALaska with a Pilot Wife

Thanks guys, yeah I figure now or never. If I don't do it now I may never.

dirtydog, gonna be east and roughly directly in between Fairbanks and Anchorage.

Thanks Gulo, like I told you earlier I will no doubt keep in contact with you. And maybe see you up there one day.

330, yeah, she's definitely a good one. We will have to see how things play out.

I remember a lot of things I should not of done but have a heck of a lot of things that I will never regret doing.

What do you do in Idaho?Sounds like a dream come true.

Better to have regrets by trying something and it not working out than to be an old man wishing you had tried. Congrats and good luck!

Looking forward to your posts from AK....and Good Luck !

Good for you, best of luck to you.

Good luck to you and post some pics. Have a couple friends up in Ak and I have been there once . Loved it. My friends send me pictures and man thats some county. Hopefully it all works out for you. Jon

Goooooooo the only thing I regret about going to Alaska as a young man was not staying there.

Sure wished I could have stayed there after visiting.

Good luck. Find some good ptarmigan ground and I’ll be right up there to visit you. Keep us posted

Find some wolverine and I'll come up and help you trap some.

Where in Alaska?
