DO NOT MOVE TO BARROW. Housing is impossible to find. Finding a job will be difficult. Native preference means someone unqualified beats your qualifications when they are hiring. Food is 2.5-3 times more expensive than in the lower 48. The hospital is a band-aid station at best.
Only if you buy it in Barrow. Why weren't you ordering your foodstuffs from Anchorage and having it shipped up?
Northern Maine is not Barrow, AK in any sense! I worked in Presque Isle and that part of ME. is sorta kinda like maybe the Kenai. The North Woods of ME. is like going to a recreational area here. Me and the missus did a camping trip there a few years back and saw more people "in the middle of nowhere" there. I am not ME bashing at all. It is not anything like you've seen all the way out there in Barrow. And the medical care for someone with chronic pancreatitis might be a little scary.
But yet you feel you needed to be a condescending smart azz just to point out how old a thread is? So what if it's an old thread get over yourself! Could you be more petty. And besides if a thread is not closed it plainly states at the bottom of the page to feel free to comment.
And when someone makes a new thread here and there's already a fossil thread that's sunk to the depths somewhere, someone's bound to yelp at them for starting a new thread when there is already one in existence.
Seriously do people not know how to look at the post dates ?
Sometimes I do. Other times I think to myself "why not?' Lets just go with the flow. Salmon live so that they may ultimately swim upstream and spawn and die. Only to live again through their offspring.

Yes i am the petty one... something about people in glass houses throwing stones ?
