Looks like we have a Chinook coming. Getting windy and forecast for warm weather. Mid 20s or so. The new snow is great. Things look sooooo nice. The extra hard freeze should help the good stuff in chaga get better. And the snow makes harvesting it easier. That's why I was standing on my snogo if...
Thanks man. Hey just wanted to say Thank You for all the atta boys over the years. You remind me of a lot of Alaskans. Leave the state n then want to return. Even if it's a cabin.
Your inspiration is welcomed.
And Thanks for all your contributions to ht. We all appreciate them. See ya down...
Bambistew did a great job describing some facts that are important. Thank You
Another issue for me as an Alaskan is how are the folks there supposed to survive without a job ? Opportunity for local hire and educational experience. The folks there are having a tough time with the cost of...
Any time you want to just walk away from the work end of enjoying the outdoors and just chill. Let me know. If you want to get out n go moose wolf, bear, hunting. Pretty good hunting right off the front porch. Trapping lynx or beaver. Or just go and don't do anything. Guy can't work all the...
Bear boards. Beautiful and hammered in a couple boxes of nails through 1/2" plywood. Hopefully keeping the bears at bay.
I do have a give an atta boy to the pilot we use in the summer. Dave at N2Alasksa. Out of Talkeetna. He hasn't raised our price in near 10 years we've used him. Probably...
The moment I saw Alaska I was hooked. I was setting in a bar with my buddy. I say, let's go for a drive. Back then it usually meant grabbing some beers n cruising. Maybe stop n go fishing. He asks where. I say, I've never been to Alaska. Let's go there. Couple days later I had sold my...
Our 9 year old grandson has been riding a snogo since 3 years old and a suzuki 90cc 4 wheeler since he 5. He's ran the heck out of the little suzuki riding it almost daily. And now we enjoy going out and the trails get pretty narley.
I'll say this. He just turned 9. Is 5-'2" tall and 125...
Different strokes for different folks. I grew up using a compass. And that's all I still use. I do look at Google earth. For me it's the experience. I'm blessed to be able to get out into bush ak all by myself. A lot of the time there isn't phone reception either.
Identifying habit. Sign...
I like to hunt moose. And do a lot on my own out at our cabin. I kinda planned on being able to hunt n hang out there when I got oller. I have a 6 n 4 wheeler with 3000 pound winches. I use my coleman canoe for freight access to tioga muskeg. And insulated the generator shed any installed an...
Yeah, my rifle was just out of reach. Butt got busted clean. All I could do is freeze n wish we had brief eye to eye show down n he just walked over the hill to my buddy. At least I got a taste of venison n fun
I watched a 8 point walk past me after it busted me with my pants down. My buddy harvested it. I got up on morning. When to take a dump n did a few moose calls. Then a bulldozer wearing antlers came through the willow patch. Glad I grabbed my rifle
Hey. Personally I can't believe that this is a topic. And 10 pages. Kinda on a roll maybe. Personally, I'd rather poo in the woods than sit on those toilets. Do bears eat poo in the woods ?
Hearing protection is always great. But there is us that the bones in my ears fused. I cannot hear 80% of all sound tones. And cannot tell direction. Everything comes from my left. I've had hearing aids for years. They made certain sounds louder not better hearing if that makes sense. And for...
