Anyone from Alaska
- Thread starter Righteyeblind
- Start date
Yes there are some guys on here and on the DP from the Fairbanks area. Your truck isn't going to like those winters.
I went to college in Bareflanks. Playboy named the U of Alaska as having the uglest coeds of any college in the country. You can always tell when a Bareflanks girl has a hot date because she braids her arm pits and wears her best pair of bunny boots. If you don't know what bunny boots are you will. Colder than a well diggers ass in the winter and hot and buggy in the summer. Worst water in the world. Didn't leave a ****ing thing in Bareflanks. Have fun.

Man that sucks Reece! I have family up there, and have been there a few times. You gonna be a fish'n boat green horn:rofl:. Best luck to you bud!
I know what bunny boots are I'm born and raise on the Kenai Peninsula..man I miss Alaska wish the USMC had a base up there
I'm with you on the Kenai, great part of the state, just too damn many cheechakos in the summer an only one road. There are so damn many rv's parked out on the Homer spit sometimes it's a wonder it doesn't sink. Lived in Soldotna for a few years in the late 70's. Kenai River only had a few boats fishing on it then, even during July, now it is a zoo. Check out thes pictures of the mouth of the Kenai River when they open dipnet fishing for red salmon. ****ing zoo.

Wow that's crazy Ken. I lived in Soldotna from 5th grade to graduation down by Soldotna High and the hospital. Lived in Tok for a year, lived in Ketchikan for a little over a year, born in Anchorage, lived in Wasilla when I was too young to remember and Wrangell...could say we moved a bit...not to mention 5 years in Vegas and a year in Ohio..lots of moving for 22 years old huh?
Not things I wanted to hear but oh well. Yeah I'm moving up there for work. 3 yes is all but no racing for three years sucks. What am I going to have to do to my truck to winterize it?
I heard they have drag races at the airport is this true. Oh well I will make the best of it maybe I will start building a peterbuilt while up there to keep wrenching in my blood

Im from alaska. anchorage not fairbanks. your trucks going to love that cold haha. i would say a good block heater, stick on trans and oil pan heaters, full synthetic fluids a cold front, make sure your antifreeze is mixed for the temps and an autostart. alaskas not that bad. lots of good fishing and some crazy mountains to tear up if your into riding sleds
Don't let Ken scare you off its not that cold.....F-that its damn cold. Thursday night was 10 above, Friday morning was -26F:thumb: Anyhoo judging from your Avatar your a Operator or a wrench? Going to Fort Knox? Oh and bring your own woman Ken is right about that!
I spent 25 years in Alaska and retired from there. I was a fishery biologist for the Alaska Dept of Fish & Game for over 20 years. Alaska is a great place, but a place for young people. Winters are long and dark. I didn't mind the cold so much, but I really did get tired of the dark. Summer time you are going almost 24 hours a day because it never get very dark. If you are not an outdoor kind of guy the alternative is drinking, need a good liver to survive. If you get to Anchorage stop at Darwin's Theory Bar. My good friend Darwin Beiwer owns it and has since 1981. They serve lots of red hots there, shot of cinnamon schnapps with a double dash of Tabasco sauce in it. A mandatory evil if you go in the place. There is a drag strip out in the valley near Palmer or use to be. Probably a few diesel there as well. Bought my first diesel in Alaska, a 1990 Chev 6.2. You talk about a mother to start in the winter, and Anchorage isn't even that cold. It would take about 10 minutes of solid cranking to get it to fire. Laid down a smoke screen a Sigma pumped 12 valve would be proud of.
Alaska is a wonderful place, but not many roads so everyone is jammed on what there are. To really see it you need to have or have access to one or more of the following, first class off road equipment, a plane and a good boat, usually partners with good friends helps too.

This place Ken??:thumb:
Don't let Ken scare ya, Alaska was awesome this past summer and I cant wait to go back. Kenai is where we did most of our fishing and a couple excursions to good time Charlies
Soldotna was OK, theres a couple cool brewery's there. We only spent 1 night in Anchorage but I think we hit Dam near every bar and adult entertainment club there, Made for one of the longest flights of my life home the following morning The girls in general were not half bad either

Yes that's the place. If you spent a few nights at Good Time Charlie's then you have hit where old worn out strippers go to die, or at least that was the way it was back in the 80's. We were in there one night when someone decided it need more ventilation and started shooting holes in the place with a 44 mag. There was a gal in there one night that was so ugly we took up a collection to give to her to keep her clothes on.
Warmer up here in Anchorage than in some places in the lower 48. As for the drag strip, I think it is still going. If you stop by Eagle River. Stop into River City Saloon. My mom manages it. Has for about 10 years or so.
