What do you call those berries? I call them cloud berries, I know some folks call them salmon berries. However, what I call salmon berries grow about six feet tall, similar to raspberries.
I love cloud berries, I know a couple of people who don't care for them, can't really figure out why though.
Waggler, my wife and ie debate it whenever it come sup. I grew up calling them salmon berries, she looked it up and is adamant they're cloud berries. We're at loggerheads.
Rumors of my assimilation have been greatly exaggerated.
^^^^^^^ Salmon berry bushes are about six feet tall, there are two varieties red ones and yellow ones, they grow mixed together, I think the yellow ones taste the best. Southeast Alaska is full of them, lots of them down in Washington too.
They are all in the rubus family; cloud, salmon, raspberry, blackberry, etc..
They have cloud berry's in SE as well. Used to go picking with the wife and mother-in-law for them out of Petersburg. Always found them in muskeg and low lying areas. Jam tasted great from them, but smelled like dirty socks to me for some reason.
When we lived in Wrangell, we had a ton of the tall salmon berry's around the house. My son loved them, and every evening we would go out and he would pick and eat them. Ate so many he got a nasty rash in his diaper from them. Had to start limiting his intake after that.
We have found some cloud berry's here in the interior at our Cabin property. Just not enough to make jam out of. Same type of ground.
They are the same ones I remember folks picking down on the lower Yukon, and they called them salmon berry's there.

Some people are like slinkies - not really good for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.
Top Jimmy you may have to be like a bear. Eat the berries then poop them back out to spread the seeds. Eventually you will have a big well fertilized patch right by your cabin.
this video was the main reason i updated the old journal. Im hoping Wismiss or somebody can help me identify the trap Margo found in a tree while we were cutting fire wood.. So any information you can supply will be appretiated
Great looking country, please post more videos. I think that trap is an Oneida Community #1 Tree Trap, made in the early 1900's, looks like it's in really good shape. If it were where I trap it would have rusted away many years ago.

Sure works good Ian. Beats messy fleshing beam that’s for sure. Rub those shavings on your face bear hunting time. Good sun block I hear. 😂. I think bare ground is easier on the skidoo compared to minus 40. Some crazy people go right to cache creek from beaver house I think. 🤫
