Has anyone seen or heard anything from Hailstone since his father in law passed away. I have tried email and phone with no answer. ???????? Guess he might be still up at inlaws.

Wow.....

People are always talkin' 'bout me.....

Ive been BUSEY!!!

No screwed up arm this winter! Today , its burning in sensation, but not debilitating

Been camping, fixing, hunting, fishing, riding and raising kids the old fasioned way....working them to death!
Came to Kotzebue tonight to drop off Meat, a track for my busted up snowgo and see the doc inna morning about my arm
OK, heres a peek....seeing how I have a bit of Computer time...


A new parkee, fur in (Shes still not letting me take her pictures with those freezer burns on her eyes and cheeks ) but I've got this one...


We built this sled in the front room of our house in Noorvik...We cut down the trees and shaped them by hand with various tools. The runners came from a crooked tree we split in two.
Tied it together with sealskin and shod it in whale bone.

Got this guy with one shot from the Sako, to the base of the skull.Dropped like a rock.

Jon hit this fella inna neck, but a bit low, and blew out his corodit arteries...bled out like a fire hose!

This is the SVT-40 the wife got from Et2ss, and Jon put to the 'Test"...flawless! Crusted in ice, it worked as it should.
We hoped to use a black powder rifle, but that just didnt work out.....maby on Caribou as soon as we run low....

Jon at work.

Hope to get back Wednesday, and post lots more picts, if I get some download time.

No electricity at home in Deering, STILL!, so we still have a small generator......so weve been camping and moving about a bit more, I wish I were more settled, but its a Chinese curse "To live in interesting times"

Aint that the truth


The 3 oldest have been living alone as the two younger ones have to go to school, ( My 19 year old is "The man" of the house for a bit) and I checked the youngers into school in Noorvik, and they have stayed with aunties or at our house with a sitter as we "Git 'er Done" and weve been home about 1/2 the time. The wifes 9 sisters can come in handy now and then
I left Deering this afternoon after a good hunt, gave the oldest boy a few hundred "House Dollers" and talked with their teachers...all is well.
We hope to be back in Deering by weeks end.

Smile and be happy!

neet , that looks like a lot of work , but the craftsmanship is awsome

Yaaaaaaa.....
were cruzing along.
Its that time of year when X-mas is over and art sales are slow that you go for the "Contract work"
The sled, Parkee, fish spears, dog harness's and whip are all going to a Japanese museum.
She also has a sizable mural to paint on the Gym wall in the Deering school, as she put in a winning propsal. That'll net us some $$$ to.

We basicly found ourselfs in a familiar place among friends and set a spell to work. No phones, no internet, no TV no problem!
We cruized some land and have chosen a nice place to set a up another fishing camp along the Kobuk River, as well as fixxed up a camp that our oldest son inherited from his Grandfather.
The more places you have to go, the better and easier to access the resources as we need them.
Caribou here, Whitefish there, Salmon up that river, trees over that way, the ocean and the tundra....maby trapping down that mountain..... Sure dose help to keep life new and interesting.
Were hoping to get a good program for our kids and get back out to country and homeschooling this next year.
I really did miss posting here, and from what I see as a busy spring, Im gonna only get to post sporadicly.

I need SD cards.
