Moving to Alaska with Kids | The Non Materialistic Reality & Alcan Border Searches

Are you considering moving to the Last Frontier? In this episode, we dive into what life in Alaska is really like—from raising a family and ditching "flex culture" to embracing seasonal activities like fishing, berry picking, and winter sports. We also break down the reality of Alaska's infamous "spring melt" season and share a crazy story about driving the ALCAN Highway and getting detained at the Canadian border as a retired police detective.
