Astronauts wear space suits,....Alaskan's wear layers of warm clothes during the winter and not much in the summer. We have a young man from Alabama spending the winter with us. Loves it. His home is six miles north of Florida, go figure ! Not a wanted person either !

Well the Anchorage Daily News did a story on it. I put a link on my last post to the story. The State wouldn't confirm it yet but the locals said it was and I figure they can tell what the tracks were.

That's not good, mother nature can be a mean mother sometimes.

from the way the evening news portrayed her she might have been a tree hugger they like out give out treats to them animals like wolf's and she might run oout of treats or just didnt bring any and that will pi$$ off a wild animal something terrable one needs to heed the advice don't feed the animals.

People do that with bears and the like, feed them because they look cute. Then when you run out of treats... well you fill the bill...

Timothy Treadwell did the same thing of sorts with the bears, he just pissed one off that didn't like being talked at like it was a little kid... So it ate what bothered it... Timothy

Wasn't even a case of "IF", just when...

I see people in the Parks trying to feed wild animals from their cars which is illegal, but they are clueless to why you don't feed the animals. It conditions them as humans are a food source... so because of their stupidity, the next hiker may get mauled expecting a "Snack"..

And they wonder why I carry a BIG gun ? Not to kill but as a Precaution. It has saved my life twice now ..." Never take a knife to a gun fight." Like wize with wild animalis!

Why I carry a revolver verse an automatic, in sub zero temps, the Auto has a tendency to freeze the slide, not to mention they don't handle moisture well, the revolver seems to work just about all the time in all temps.

Not the "Massive" fire power of the 9MM with a 14 shot clip and weak bullets, but a few well placed .44 Mag rounds in the boiler room will stop or reroute the "Issue"...

I carry a single six mag. 44 . Nothing will work if you loose your cool or use 30 rounds . I make one shot work allways. My Dad taught Me well. Gut shot is good if you want him to die way off,.. but up close !. You have to as I have had to twice now , The neck just under his head as he charges you . Instant death. Not the head.Scary when he drops dead at your feet. Gut shot gives him time to chew on you.

i havea big auto i can carry desert eagle 50 and it has always functioned in all weather i don't carry it any more be cause my primary self defence gun is a marlin 1895 modified for 50 ak and the barrel is cut down to 16 1/2 inches one hit from that and nothing ever gets back up. so why pack a heavy pistol.

of his take down Marlin's for years.

 

[fogtender]

Duane is going to send some more of his smaller cabin photos to post and some of his building the main house.

ugh ? I never had to kill a charging bear with a 44 mag , but I once killed a spider with a stick , screaming like a girly man the whole time .

There was that one time I ran out of ice in the freezer for my drink .... That damn near killed me ......

 

[osemtnak]

Duane sent me some more photos to post, some are self explanatory, others may not be as easy to describe. The are photos of the Green House, cabins and the main house.

You need to keep in mind, that to build any of this stuff, it either have to be gotten from the wilderness, towed 100+ miles by snowmachine or flown in... None of this was easy and took years to get it where it is now.

Since he is now able to post here, maybe I can get him to describe what photos are of what and where.

 

[fogtender]

And again here is another set of photos of Duane's place.

 

[fogtender]

This one isn't too hard to figure out what it is, it is the view of their home. Note the little satellite dish on the porch, that is the Hughesnet internet system. That gives him the connection to the world via internet...

Makes Wilderness a little less remote...

Fall flying is by far the prettiest time to fly the area, all the colors are great, the snow moving down the mountains... Postcard stuff...

Mr. Ose, Sir..
Some people would say "How can they live like that?"
I would say you are very blessed and fortunate to live like that.
Awesome pictures, lovely stories.
Bravo and God Bless You and Yours.
