    i am terrified to learn that Alaska has proportionally almost double the stats of violent crime and rape per capita as the country average. turns out all that empty space does not really help.

      Yeah, that’s a little weird. Subjectively though, you could do the offgrid cabin-in-the-woods thing and hardly ever see another human more easily if you wanted. Statistically those people won’t make a blip in the bigger picture due to how few there are, but as an individual experience it’d be difficult to find something more peaceful than that kind of Thoreau experience.
