Alaska

Name another state where;
  • hiking, you find out that your compass won't hold a consistent reading due to magnetic declination at that lattitude,
  • hiking in the interior of the state, your radio cannot call out for help due to atmospheric magnetic effects,
  • the mountains generate their own weather systems,
  • the terrain is so varied, the bush pilots tell you "don't fly into the clouds with rocks in them" (i.e. mountains hiding in clouds)
  • We have bush pilots - what the hell kinda pilots you all have?  panzy ass "don't ask don't tell" pilots?
  • it can be light out at 10pm or almost dark at 10am depending on the time of year
  • helicopters cannot fly out to rescue you because it's so cold their composite rotor blades would break
  • you might snap a 30 pound wrench in half trying to turn a 2 inch diameter bolt - because it's so cold out (Point Barrow oil workers)
  • the unofficial state bird is the mosquito, due to the huge sizes they reach
  • there have been supposed cases of mosquito swarms killing off cattle
  • wildlife goes uphill, away from their water source, to get away from the mosquitos
  • you go hiking, and that ginormous bear you ran into, looks at your can of pepper spray, and thinks, "Oh, cool! Hey, Boo Boo, Lunch brought it's own seasonings! "
  • The main Air Force Base (Elmendorf AFB), during the cold war, had a sign in front of the main gate that read "Number of Soviet Aircraft intercepts this year: ##" - while the rest of the CONUS Air Force Bases had signs proclaiming things like "Number of Safe Working Days without anyone breaking a fingernail: ##"
  • For anything under a 6.5 earthquake, you might not bother getting out of bed.  Anything under a 5.0, you barely open one eye to make sure none of the bookshelves are going to fall over.
  • As soon as it's above freezing, some of the women decide that's warm enough for shorts and tank-tops
  • Your hunting guide will not take you out of the lodge, unless you're carrying a rifle with a caliber at least .338" diameter (8.6mm). We don't care how many deer you've taken with your ol' reliable 30-06, 30-30, .308, or (gods help you) .243. 
  • The larger herbivore animals will charge your SUV, if they decide they don't like how you're looking at them.  Do not mess with the moose.  Even the Caribou will fuck up your day if you call him "rudolph" or "reindeer"
  • Name anywhere else in the world where Reindeer Sausage has been on the menu for 30 years (Gwennies Restauraunt, Anchorage, Alaska)[Fuck Rudolph and his pissy attitude - we brought a .338 Lapua.  See above]

Alaska.  I used to live there.  Hard fucking core.  Insane weather changes.  It was fun.

Polar Bear migration through the town...

I know engineers who work up there.  Beautiful during the "summer", and harsh as hell on the northern most parts.

I got  to agree that Alaska.

Texas: 
Dress manly [x]
    Act manly [x]
   Are manly [  ]


Alaska: 
Dress manly [x]
    Act manly [x]
   Are manly [x]
Too damn manly [xx]


Last two states to be manly:
   California and New York

I vote for Alaska too. Plus it has the gnarliest skiing you can find pretty much anywhere in the world.
