Ask if anybody has dry fish for sale near the Mackenzie river ferry crossing at Tsiigehtchic. Use a bit of salt and it痴 delicious. There痴 usually some to be found and the deckhands might point you in the right direction. Alestine痴 here in inuvik has some good dishes made with locally caught whitefish. Check out all the craft shops for some fur crafts and other cool stuff. Other than that just enjoy the views and carry bug spray.

You don't want to go to Tuk, come to Aklavik and help me build my berry picking shack out on the coast. Maybe Ryan will even drop you off in AK you can visit with his grampa and hear lots of stories, and buy some Wally sticks before heading out to build. Free Trapperman.com labor, greatest thing ever. Muskrat411 sounds like fun but.... well.... I値l be on vacation. lol You can follow along on YouTube if you壇 like on my channel Northern Trapper Hopefully I値l be able to find some free wifi up there or I値l have to wait until I get home.

Wifi is not free up here. You sure you do not want to be the first proponent of the Tman in the Arctic labor program. It sounds ground breaking and thanks for the opportunity but I値l have to forfeit the honor.

Good Morning this will date me but I as a young fella was on the ALCan in 1970 going to Fairbanks back then it was as if it was a airstream convention that was about the only camper you seen you wanted to get a early start so you were out ahead of them or you ate a lot of dust.
I'm wondering where the pictures are from the convention ?

Back in the mid-80s I did a short bit of polar bear work out of Tuk. Back then, it was a real neat place, with the native population still wearing traditional garments and keeping with the old ways. Saw a couple of older gals wearing wolverine parkys in the little grocery store that were fabulous works of art. Even played tourist a bit and bought a hoodie from the University of Tuktoyaktuk (TUK-U). To my way of thinking, too bad there's an all-weather road now into there. I'll bet the traditions are waning...
