    I can not imagine sleeping in down bag every night with the stars for my roof this time of year in Alaska.

    Also being the main course on the menu every day and night to every critter and insect that wanders by.

    No, no. Ag is Algore.

    Seriously, AG. A very Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year to you and your family. And to all the Cast Boolits members and their families.

    AG I can't imagine having the energy it takes to accomplish what you are doing. Good luck to you.

    Very impressive. An ideal that, as noted, many dream of doing.

    I'm hoping he's still back in the bush enjoying some much needed solitude.

    He sucks but in a good way. If he has a narrow kerf chain the sawmill works pretty good but if he nailed down green lumber its going to work.

    Hope all is well up there and alaskangurls moose is a fine animal!

    Before volunteering to sleep out there you better check the date I posted that statement.

    The date is what concerns me. lol I know he has at the very least been to places with internet service, just hoping he had other more important stuff to do than worry about logging on here.

    I was thinking of AlaskanGuy today.

    This thread started 18 months ago was his most recent post.
    But his profile shows he logged in 6 weeks ago.

    I wonder why he didn't post an update of his adventure ?

    Sure wish he would at least post that everyone is healthy, have even contemplated a road/boat trip down there to look him up.

    - maybe too busy to do more than see if we are still here after all the fun we have been having.

    Hillbillies must have got him. Loggers call Naukati "Deliverance".

    He is also right there on the best chinook salmon fishing that is to be had, west coast Prince Of Wales island.

    I bet that he is picking and grinning and dragging a herring, and slugging big Kings.

    I will report back if I see him on the grounds.

    I've only been in Alaska once, and then only passing through, but what good ol' country WOULDN'T fall in love with it? The air was so "clean smelling" for lack of a better description! It was a country boy's paradise. But I'm too old and have too many health problems to ever get back, I'm afraid. I sure get a great vicarious thrill from photos like yours, though. What you're doing is what I'd have loved to have done at one time, but I got married too young, and was pretty well locked in to staying here. I'll never lose the feeling for Alaska that I got that first time I was there, though. It's a "hard life" in some respects, but oh so satisfying! I wish you and your wife and cabin and friends well. It's good to see folks who still CAN do what you're doing.
