Avg gas price in canada is $5usd /gallon. At the distance and mpg for me it would be almost 1500 just in fuel. Plus having my rifle and ammo shipped, so another couple hundred, as well as another spare wheel and tire just in case. Maybe 2200ish investment just to drive. I think I will fly and...
Craigslist shows 2005ish SUVs and AWD cars in the expected price range. Surprisingly about the same prices as the state I'm leaving. I've only looked briefly around Anchorage though. I just need to get around for work until I find something newer in the lower 48 to drive back.
I found this...
I'm not sure how expensive gas is in Canada but the drive for me would be 3500 miles at 14mpg. So about 1000 in fuel. And another spare tire or two so $400 more. My current vehicle is probably only worth 2500. I was going to sell mine, hop on a plane with two bags for 300 and buy a similar...
I am listening to random internet posters who know the situation and I'm lucky to have you all offering your time and thoughts to explain what I need to know. Even those who poke and rib. I know even they are just being real with their thoughts and also having fun with banter, as am I. I know...
One can't effectively use it without readily recognizing it. I'm flattered to have a stalker but I'm a little old for games. You can just ask me out to dinner..
Ok, that is really cool! Since I'd have to ship a pallet on a barge, I'd have to drive up nearest the coast after dropping my stuff off. So I have to figure cost/troubles of driving to the coast, shipping stuff, backtracking a little, and going through Canada. A horse apiece maybe.
This is so helpful. Knowing how much rentals are up there, this might be the way I go. Having an FFL ship my guns and all my ammo could be very expensive along with driving through Canada. Guess I have to weigh my options.
Thank you
Right now everything I own fits in my vehicle so that's definitely an option. Ship it out of WA and fly from seattle. Guns and ammo are safe to keep in there too? Assuming I can get through WA with standard capacity semi autos
Good to know. It's the same in the lower 48 right now but probably moreso there. Unless I can get a good price shipping mine on a barge, or if the ferries start running again, I may have no choice.
Love how you refer to the 48 as America. Like Alaska is it's own country. Lol love it
I appreciate the advice but that country seems like very hostile territory. And at 15mpg with any hotel stays, expensive fuel etc, I think I'm better off flying. Finding tickets around $200. Then whatever renting a car costs.
Would have been nice to keep this vehicle for a little longer while...
Since the ferry won't be running, is there a way to hitch a ride on a barge with my vehicle? Never been at sea before so I don't know how that all works.
Because I don't want to have blood clots, strokes, or heart attacks. The anti-mandate pushback by the state was one of the bigger deciding factors of going up there to begin with. I can be a subject in any state. I want to go to the most free place I can.
I bet the drive is beautiful, but it's...
I'm not vaccinated for covid and won't be. The lack of mandates up there is what made me finally take the leap and apply for open positions. So while I wish I could just drive, it looks like I'm not allowed in Canada.
I guess I could sell my vehicle and rent one (probably $$$) when I'm getting...
