Alaska was life-changing. I've always enjoyed NATURE, but THE WILD is a very different thing. There is nothing in the lower 48 that gets close to the Alaskan wild.
I also met some amazing Athabaskan people in the village of Huslia. It is a place and a culture that I feel so privileged to have been allowed to enter. And it looks like I'm likely going back for the Moose and Bear hunts later this year. Very excited about that prospect.
