These are a really good series of videos on a trappers lifestyle in Russia. There are many similarities to our life here in Alaska. Some good info in them including traditional trap making and proper use of dogs for uses other than mushing. Also shows…

A water pump was on the short list of preps this year, but fur did not go for as much as I was hoping for in the auction last weekend. I still want to get a 3" water pump & sprinklers but I think it will have to wait another year.For those of…

I’m guessing you mean partners in the traditional sense, not the PC same sex thing. I’ll go with partners. Up here most have a hunting partner or a trap line partner, this is someone who you are both financially and mentally invested in. Trap line par…

Perhaps I could have phrased that better, but I have a lot of experience with people underestimating what their dogs will require for food. Up here when you are off of the road system everything is ordered either in 1 year or 6 month supply runs. Keep…

Glad you had a good trip. There is a reason why they sell "JET A" or "#1 Heating Fuel" instead of diesel at gas stations here in the winter, it has a much lower gel point. Always happy when people make the journey without incident….
Didn’t realize dude was on Doomsday Preppers. One of these days I’ll have to watch them all, I’ve seen a few though and was not impressed. I was more concerned with the general level of skills & equipment. I realize that there is always a portion …
So I have been housebound in the city, and passing the time watching various things on youtube. I came across this today.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOUnTOrxHUYI was wondering if this was what bugging out was really like on the east coast. I gener…
I truly hope you are right catfeet. I have little faith in most scientists though, they all seem to have a agenda. It is easy to cherry pick data to make stuff look however you want. All I know is what I see and experience personally, and for the last…

I used to be a general prepper or a winter prepper, because in Alaska winter used to be something that you really needed to prep for. These days I am trying to prep/deal with global warming. I’m not talking the liberal BS carbon stuff, but the real de…

Thanks for the post Illini, I have never seen one of these before. I have some cast iron that has been handed down since the gold rush and I have always just washed it with Dawn like my grandma did. I got a new pan two years ago and it was a wake up c…

I would shudder to think what would happen if we had to bug out right now. With the warm temps the river ice has not set and we can not get to our cabin. Right now I should already have a trail in for the overland sections and be on my trap line, but …
Thanks for all the cold wishes. With the triumph of light over darkness I am hoping that the gods and goddesses will smile upon me and I may be back at work soon living in the wilderness as I should. Don’t get me wrong, I like the extra time with my w…
