I am a 21 year old male curently living in caldwell Idaho. I have recently returned from a 8 month stint in Fairbanks. I would liked to have stayed, but could not pass up my current career oppertunity. I have dreamed of moving to the backwoods since I was 15. After high school I decided that the Alaskan bush would be the best place for this. I transfered, to Fairbanks, within my company in June of last year, but returned to my hometown after reciving a manegement position, in Febuary. I did not want to leave Fairbanks, but this will allow me to save for and achive my goal even faster. I plan to buy a bush property within 3 years and be living on it full time within 5. I am definitly glad that I found this fourm. It contains a wealth of information. I hope to make a trip to alaska next summer or the one folowing, to buy my land. I am making a list of realtors to contact, before I decide on one. I am looking for a very remote peice of property and definitly not in a remote subdivision. If you know of any good realtors or property's please let me know.

Welcome, woodsman! You sound like a responsible sort of fellow, so you ought to do well wherever you end up! I can't help you with realtors, as I'm in Oregon, and it's been a few years since I lived in Alaska, but I'm sure a few of the other folks here might have some ideas for you. But I do think that probably most of the remote land you'll find for sale up there is in the subdivisions, some of which have large enough parcels that you wouldn't have to feel crowded. It's good, sometimes, to have other people not too far away, like if you get hurt or sick and need help in a hurry. Or maybe when it's time to put a log cabin up, or just to have someone to chat with once in a great while! So I wouldn't put the subdivisions out of mind yet. You might start with a lot in a subdivision and later sell it and move farther out if you find a good place. That way you'd be getting a good start, at least, and would be in a good place to hear of the other types of parcel that might be available. Stepping stones, so to speak!
It's been slow here lately -- I think people are busy with spring things. But if you stay around, you'll hear from some of the other folks eventually.
