A certain kind of person lives in Port Protection, Alaska. With its unforgiving climate and remote location, one has to be content with solitude and, at times, the lack of privacy that comes with living in an intimate environment. There is a strange juxtaposition that comes with living alone, surrounded by people who know everything about you. And how could they not? There are less than 40 people living there full-time.

It's safe to assume the people of Port Protection live off the land and rely on each other for what they can't make or produce themselves. Fishing is, of course, the best means of survival for the residents of this tiny town. Also, some light tourism could help folks get by. "With coho and king salmon, yelloweye rockfish, gargantuan lingcod and halibut in plentiful numbers, visitors make the trek to Port Protection to take in the thrill of a day’s full catch," per Travel Alaska.

Perhaps you can do what Gregg Dockweiler did. He told Realtor.com that after vacationing in Port Protection several times he found himself wanting to move there. Gregg purchased a home in 2005 but couldn't move until he had enough money saved up to live for a while. Once there he "set up Port Protection Adventures, a business where guests pay to lodge and fish."
