There are not many options. lolSame facility
I blew two trailer tires on my first trip up.More truth there than most know. Lol. Include a couple spare tires too.
As far as hospital settings there are only about 3 on the peninsula. Quite a few of primary care facilities though.There are not many options. lol
The frost heaves will sneak up on you!Biggest thing you can do is slow the F down between Whitehorse and Glennallen.
This will save your trailer and keep you from having a wreck.
I appreciate it. I think I’m going to ship and sell some of my guns and only bring up ammo to make it easier. I’ll be going across in Montana not sure if it makes a difference which point I cross in Montana though.Yeah, Kenai and Soldotna are practically one and between the two there is most everything you will find in towns in the lower 48. It is actually easier to find reloading supplies and ammo there than in Anchorage.
When I moved up I disposed of anything that would not fit in my vehicles or trailer and did not regret it, and I spent my first 2 years on an island in Ketchikan.
I recommend barging your trailer up to Whittier, put all guns and ammo in it. For the most part US customs has given me more trouble than Canadian, but spending hours sitting around while a vehicle gets searched is pretty obnoxious.
If you number your boxes and list contents, then have receipts to prove you shipped any guns that are not allowed, it can make your life easier.
They will ask if you own guns, they might ask the types, and they will ask what you did with them. Answer with confidence and smoothly and life is easier, answer otherwise and you can expect to be repacking your stuff. That said, were you cross matter, Alberta boarder checks are laxer than Vancouver area in my experience.
The drive is fine, even in the winter, so long as you have good tires. Plenty of places to get gas, even in the winter, but plan ahead if driving at night as they may not be open.
Thanks! It’ll be an adventure for sure. Worst case we move back to Wyoming after a year or two but I’m almost positive we’re going to stay long term.Jealous! Good luck
Buy a truck and sell to make a profit? I already have a truck so not sure if that’s what you meant.Moved up from CO in 2021. If I could do it over I would:
1. Buy a truck, and sell it up here.
2. Sell all the small household crab and buy it again up here, and don't use a moving company.
3. Rent for 6 months to a year and search for a place you like.
4. Burn all your preference points in other states.
Probably some other smaller things I would do as well, but those are top of the mind.
Cannot recommend this advise enough.Swap that trailer out for a v-nose enclosed 20' with tandem 3500lbs axles and a drop down drive through door in the front. That sucker will hold it's value up here like you wouldn't believe, but you'll quickly find you don't want to sell it because you'll want it to haul sleds etc. Way cheaper to buy trailers down in the L48 than up here.
Buy another one and have your wife drive it. Also buy the 20' toyhauler and tow that with the 2nd truck.Buy a truck and sell to make a profit? I already have a truck so not sure if that’s what you meant.
