I carry both when out in bear country. I would use the spray first. The gun is a last resort. In the situation above, the gun was the only choice. One of my main goals living up here is to not shoot a bear. Beautiful creatures that are just doing their thing.

Hiking through high grass like that always gives me pause. Switched from carrying a .44 mag to a 10mm for bear protection about a year ago. 10mm is equivalent ballistically to a .41 mag. 17 rounds of 10mm vs. 6 rounds of .44 mag is why people are switching to the 10mm. I'm sure those extra rounds proved pivotal in that close quarter situation.

I see that CTE finally set in on Huston Street from getting trucked by Cedric Benson so many times in that championship game in high school.- Off Grid Alaska
I completely understand Mom texted me from Abilene about an hour ago and said her truck thermometer was reading 116 in her driveway Fuck all that- Off Grid Alaska
Well folks, Fall has arrived in the North country. Leaves are changing color quickly. Fireweed is in the cotton stage. The snow is about half way down the hills. Was 36 degrees at the cabin this morning.- Off Grid Alaska
Nearest Mexican food restaurants are in Fairbanks, but they suck. I make better Mexican food at home. My wife grows tomatoes in a greenhouse, so I’m assuming tomatillos are possible. Nature’s kerosene are what they are known as around here- Off Grid Alaska

Aspens everywhere in my part of Alaska. Also have white spruce, black spruce, and birch. The aspens and birch are lovely in the Fall with their golden leaves.- Off Grid Alaska
We had a helluva wind storm the night before. That was tree number two of the six that I had to chainsaw through in order to clear the road on my way out. My legacy on this board will be the shit stick story 😂- Off Grid Alaska

Those type of artifacts are hard to come by these days. That's some valuable ivory. Nice scrimshaw work on several. Do you have an oosik in the collection? Walrus is to this day the weirdest meat I've ever tasted. The texture and consistency of roast beef, but tasted like fish. My brain had a hard time processing that one.- Off Grid Alaska
Phone camera while sitting in the truck. So many bears this year. Love seeing the critters out doing their thing. Those bears have what's called Toklat coloring, almost blonde on top with the dark legs. Beautiful creatures.- Off Grid Alaska

To be clear, the snow this morning was on the very tip tops of the hills. Nothing at ground level. Snow can fall and stick any time in September, but it usually waits until the first part of October. We had snow on the ground into late May this year, so 4 or maybe 5 months without snow.- Off Grid Alaska
Thank Christ. The tourists will be leaving soon with all of their brand new plastic clothes 😂 Lots of old school cabins built back in the day look just like that, and are still standing.- Off Grid Alaska
Termination Dust at elevation on the hills this morning. First snow of the year on Aug 10. 43 degrees at the cabin. Looking more and more like an early Fall/Winter. The trees are just starting to turn too. Hoping the cooler weather gets down to most of y'all soon.- Hunting ‘23/‘24: Bag ‘em and Tag ‘em

Logs are heavy. The shitter was built on two pressure treated 4x4's that I cut into skids. When the shitter hole eventually gets full, we'll dig another hole and drag the outhouse over the new hole with the wheeler.- Home food practices
Pretty much. Log walls are the shit A pain in the ass to build with, but they keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter- Home food practices
