    Default Escape to remote alaska

    For those several young men who post here asking how to"get away from it all and live out in the Alaskan or Canadian boonies," here is your chance. You'll learn exactly how to get along in the "far beyond,"and just how much work you'll have to do to survive.

    Here's the OP from the post.

    I am looking for a young guy that is wanting to get into the outfitting industry. Ideally he would be 18-24 years old and already has some outdoor abilities.

    I would need this person to come to Alaska with me the end of May to work at my fishing lodge. He would: cook, clean, sweep, clean fish, paint, fix boat motors, entertain clients, change light bulbs, mow grass, be an assistant to the fishing guides, go on bear viewing trips, guide bear viewing trips, wash dishes, change oil in vehicles, wash cars, etc.

    If he proved himself throughout fishing season, he would then go to the Brooks Range with me in August to help out on caribou and grizzly bear hunts. He would: cook, clean, sweep, bone out meat, paint, fix tents, entertain clients, change light bulbs, be an assistant to the hunting guide, go to spike camps with guides/hunters to help spot game, pack meat, wash dishes, skin and flesh hides, etc.

    If he works out for the Brooks Range he would then help out with moose hunt in September and then brown bear hunt in October on the peninsula doing all of the things mentioned above.

    Then if all this worked out and he was still wanting to be in this industry, I would arrange for him to be able to get his assistant guides license for hunting and get his sport fishing guides license and give him a job each year.

    If you know anyone that fits this description, please let me know.

    All I can say is I'm glad I am no longer 18-24 years old. I just missed the requirements. (snap)

    Most that come on here wanting to "excape to the wilderness", seem to want to NOT want to be burdened by rules, direction, or work........
    That's why they want to "get out there"

    This guy wants a slave, doesn't sound like intends to do a thing to help either. I'm already my own slave. Yes, he'll have to get an older someone to do that much work, the younger generation isn't into work like we've done. I pity the guy who takes on that job. Glad I'm an old fart these days. Alaska is a beautiful place and the people are great also. If the wife would leave her kids and grandkids I'd go in a heart beat.

    Wives are funny like that. Must be the mother thing.

    To live in the bush, you have to be a slave. That's what they don't understand. It takes a LOT of work.
    Why do I live in Alaska? Because I can.
