    The Gordon Eastman film is titled North of the sun. Absolutely a must see. Most of the footage was filmed after he survived being stranded as the Eskimos were more welcoming to him because he was one of the few to “come back from the ice” the whale hunt is amazing. He documented a culture that lasted thousands of years and is now gone.

    Pops is a real man who LOVES the outdoors, listening and learning from the locals on how they hunt to survive is a humbling thing to see. My dad’s not that hardcore but he’s just like him, always down to learn anything about hunting and love and respects the land.

    When I heard the name Eastman, the first thing that came to mind is the Eastman Kodak Company, started by (in part) by George Eastman. Seeing the footage of him hauling the movie camera around, I think to myself, any relationship there???
    Once again, an awesome story.

    • @paxdrago1
      @paxdrago1 5 місяців тому +12

      Yes and no. Substance hunting mixed with trophy hunting. They(locals and guy in story) lived off that meat. To this day Alaskans don't have limits for most wild herbivores and relatively high limits for bears and other prey animals. Calorie requirements for living up there in the winter is extremely high. Whale meat is very high in calories. Esp the blubber.
      If it was only trophy hunting non one would go to such effort to keep the meat.

    • @525medic
      @525medic 5 місяців тому +11

      No, it’s meat hunting that comes with a side of “Holy crap that’s big!”. Also, after that whole story, that’s what you’re coming away with?!?!?

    • @mountainadventures7346

      No such thing as Trophy hunting in North America as it is a requirement to recover the meat of the animal.
