All you Alaskans out there, what are you going to blow your PFD on?

[Alaskan]

I was thinking about a Hinderer or some Shuns for work.

Hey Alaskan... what is a PFD?

Alaska Permanent Fund

Alaska uses money made by oil on investments on a 5 year average. The profit from said investments is divided among Alaska residents who applied.

WTF?? I gotta live in a state that is flat broke:grumpy: Thats cool guys. Hope you buy some very nice stuff... now if I could get everyone in Alaska to just send me $1 each...

 

[Alaskan]

I will be $900 dollars richer on 10/3/13

 

[northwalesBill]

Get a Rockstead! Hah. I'd never get one unless I was loaded but they are nice

 

[Bigfattyt]

If I lived in Alaska, I would spend it on good winter gear, maybe studded tires......

Chainsaw, gun? Maybe ammo?


Oooh, solar panels?

 

[grownstar]

I would buy a bear and ride it to work!

A furry tractor?

 

[jjoanty01]

Would it be like a John Deer? Say a Buck Bear...

I see what you did there.

HAHA...I actually had to share his comment with a colleague because it was so funny to me

 

[jjoanty01]

Well if I were in Alaska and had $900 to blow... I would but a ZT 0561. Well that's what I would want. In reality my wife would get the money for something silly like a purse. :yawn:

 

[northwalesBill]

Or something silly like an order of heating oil

While we were visiting your beautiful state in 2011, we took a guided tour of Juneau, and our tourguide told us about the PFD. Pretty cool that the state pays you to live there!

I wonder if North Dakota or Montana will start something like this due to the Bakken Oil Field.

Don't blow it all on one knife! Get a nice folder and a nice fixed blade.

I live in Juneau and work in butchering.

I had absolutely no idea that Alaska did this sort of thing. It's insane...in a good way! If I had $900 to spend on knives, I'd get a Hinderer and a nice Leatherman multitool.
