[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1171334, member: 3162"] We left Alaska in 1970. I was just a kid who lived there for 6 years. Missed it every since. Survival is the great equalizer. Social class means nothing. Food, firewood, shelter take priority. You cannot count on phones, electricity, etc. A pocket full of money won't do you a bit of good during an earthquake or other such tragic event. We went in to winter with ten cords of wood, every winter. Plenty of food in the house always. People are practical. Kids are taught at an early age how to protect themselves from bears and such. A child packing a high powered pistol is a responsibility most kids elsewhere are not exposed to. The '64 earthquake was a bad one. I had to drink powdered milk for 6 months. [/QUOTE]
