When the scouts met up with the military the solders were cold and hungry because they couldn't start fires too cook the driftwood would not burn no matter how much gas they threw on it.

The scouts showed them how to split driftwood so it would burn and had breakfast cooking in no time.

I am on the west coast of Alaska Muktuk Marsten came through and recruited Alaska Territorial Guard or ATG Alaska Native eyes and ears of the north.
I knew a few of the old guys that were in it

I spent a lot of time on Adak between 2004 and 2008. What a fascinating place to explore, lots of WW2 military relics, and more recent military stuff. Very beautiful and one of the most remote places on the planet that you can get to relatively easily.
Second picture is the entrance of the nuclear warhead storage facility.
