The best I have so far - but its dark here now & you won't see much.
Wait 16 hours or so & you will probably recognize some of the harbor shots.
Alaska. 907. The last frontier. Who lives there? Who been there? Who wants to go?

You have to go to Ketchikan and get your hands on some Mud Bight Delight! That strain has been going around ketchikan for generations my grandparents used to smoke it! I've been to countless dispensaries in Cali and have yet to even find anyone who's heard of it off the island!
I've been to Ketch multiple times and have not heard of the strain, however I lay very low when away from home (especially when on a job) and tend to simply have a few drinks @ the hotel bar & puff on my own in the room.
Under the radar and all.

If you go back you have to try and get some and then you have to go to the pioneer pantry for their biscuits and gravy!

I just have one question here for all the Alaskan natives.....
What do you think of Christopher McCandless and his journey in Alaska?

Just did some brief reading about him and I would have to say the wilderness in Alaska doesn't fuck around and is very unforgiving.

Guy must have had a serious set of balls to do that.

I want to hear the harsh criticisms. I didn't feel his movie had any substance to it......Some kid rips up his credit cards, decides to tramp around the country, ends up in Alaska and lives in a bus where he starves.
I didn't get any inspiration. Maybe the movie sucked (it has good ratings) but to me there was nothing inspiring about that guy at all, yet the movie tried to make it seem like some fucking spiritual journey or some shit like you go up to Alaska and "live with the wild"

Upon further reading just now the guy was a complete moron! No compass no gear nothing! Fucking pathetic. The guy walked off into the Alaskan wilderness with two sandwiches and a pair of boots. What a grade A fucking asshole not to mention that he put stupid ideas into ignorant mother fuckers heads. How many people heard about this and went a killed themselves in woods up there. This guy was stupid as fuck not brave at all!

Well, that's summer. Winter... I could choose a small shovel (one like i strap to the side of my snowmachine).. bic lighters, and gasoline. Those snow caves won't shovel themselves out.

I initially thought it was cool as fuck I would love to live in the woods away from everybody else! But not like that! You can't run off in the woods unprepared that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. I mean the guy who dropped him off was begging him to go to town a get the right supplies. That is crazy. Completely stu[pid and it sets an awful example.
He was a dreamer, that in itself is not a death sentence, but when you believe you can screw up in the Alaskan wilderness & survive. The results are predictable and usually unfortunate.
Don't get me wrong, I've made plenty of mistakes - but his mistakes were fundamental & unrecoverable.

Yeah well, I live up the side of a mountain for a reason. So I can look down my nose at people and avoid floods and tsunamis... mainly the first one though.
Willow creek was WAY high out by my cabin. My buddies place was all over the anchorage daily news. It was crazy, little 7-8 foot wide willow creek turned into like.. 30 feet. ill post a pic.
