    Sometimes people post pictures or videos of their ferraris or bentleys and write "goodlife" but in my opinion you have the goodlife. Stay happy and never forget that you live in a great place with much nature and i wish you and your familiy best wishes.
    Your videos are great. The Day starts great if i see a new uploaded video! So please don quit filming.
    Thanks. Thanks. Thanks.

    Thank you so much for showing us how to cut meat for smoking and drying. I grew up living a subsistence life. My Dad and brothers (all male family memers) hunted. I helped pack meat off mountains, if it was getting late and they needed help packing it out. We all fished. My Dad and Mom cut and fileted the salmon and my brothers cleaned them. Both my folks cut the game, although my brothers were raised to start the process early. My eldest brother went hunting with my dad at a very young age. One of my brothers ate fish eyes that were boiled, so that he could see the fish better when they were gaff fishing. Us girls had our own duties.We did fish, but when it came to gaff fishing our job was getting in the water and walking through the water, hopefully herding the fish towards the place they were supposed to appear. I had seven sublings. My Dad lived until the age if 94 and passed away this year. He was active his entire life and the only thing that slowed him down was when he started Dyalisis in his 90's. We never went hungry, even if we didn't always like what we ate. My Father was Nez Perce, Cayuse and Umatilla, with a tad bit of Scotch thrown in. I enjoy Yukon Men because it's real and I can relate to subsistence living. I love smoked fish. But my parents stopped eating fish that came out of the Columbia River because of the water quality, with all of it's pollutants. When I was growing up we fished in smaller, faster and colder rivers. My Dad grew up gaff fishing at Celilo Falls on the Columbia River until the government put dams in and it flooded the falls. Damn government. Hah! Have a good one Stan and thanks for the trip down memory lane!

    Great video Stan , watched you on Yukon men . Leaving the east coast , best gig you ever did . Your where you need to be and like . My pop was from.south jersey which is all like grown together subdivisions , and no hunting hardly allowed there no more . Deer everywhere , 30 miles from philly .im damn glad my dad married a southern gal and told him, he'll no she's not livin up there . So I've grown up swampin , hunting and fishing in Louisiana . Thank god ! I've been to anchorage once , but I sure wish back in my 20s I had come further inland there . I probably would have never left .

    Just got back from one of the few coastal rivers that had an open king season. My friends as well as the other villagers were busy cutting and drying fish for the year. My daughter who teaches in the village cheats and uses an electric smoker. But this is far better. What I grew up with in the PNW. Thanks.

    Loved doing that.

    That fish hanging Always gets my mouth watering.
    Growing up, my mom`s brother would bring over 10 salmon
    they got from a stream (nothing like yours of course).
    Dad would cut them up, mom would always say
    we`re going to get botulism off them, and can them up.
    We never did get botulism, but always referred to them as botulism patties.
    To this day, salmon is still a treat to me.
