We heated with wood but some of the storage areas stayed cool and the high humidity, combined with shoes stored in a box created fuzzy green shoes. I had leather shoes grow moss/mildew in a closet in Juneau. The southeast panhandle, Kodiak, the Aleutian chain is even more temperate in the winter but it pretty much rains year round. Summers in the north are normally warm and dry. The area south of the Alaska Range is far more temperate than the northern half in the winter but we tend to get heavier snows and cool wet summers.

We are in Alaska right now and have lived there for 30+ years. Missing, Gungir and others may add to the conversation. I'll chime in with a perspective on Alaska. I know many survivalist web sites promote that area of the country for strategic location, but I say unless you are well-to-do or can secure a high paying job, you will struggle out there. Also, due to the short growing season in that region, I could not get any good produce at all while I was out there, other than Cherries and Huckleberries which are grown there locally. The few local jobs do not support those kinds of prices.

Funny thing is, the bubble has now burst, but the prices are still well up there. An acre with a crumbling trailer would run $100,000 min. Californians were cashing out during that big 'bubble' and running for Idaho and Montana, pushing prices well over the reach of the local working people. I was there from 2006 - 2008 during the housing bubble. Lots of very pretty rivers and tree-lined streams, but still - we weren't going to spend $100,000 for a trailer on 10 acres on the banks of a rocky stream, nor $125,000 for 10 acres with 3 greenhouses and a 30 YOA 2 br brick house with a damaged foundation (due to earthquakes and slippage)Īnd yet, many surrivalist websites promote that region of the country for strategic relocation.

Also much of the property for sale that we looked at there was rock the arable land was either high-priced or not for sale. They also have a severely shortened growing season not as bad as Alaska, but my brother who lives there finally put his vegies in large containers on a huge cart so he could wheel them in and out of his garage when the nights in June/July still dropped below freezing. Unfortunately when we were looking there 5 years ago, the prices for property were overblown - too many Californians moving there, and the locals were taking advantage of them.

ID is nice and very pretty, lots of open spaces, and nice mountains.
