Thanks to Chris for his help with the picures
I spent some time with Trapper Jack north of the artic circle - flew in on a small plane. He is hundreds of miles from any town. He recently buried his eskimo wife by the cabin who drowned. He spent two days digging her grave in the frozen earth. That is Jack in the picture.
Jack makes his living from trapping and selling wolf, moose, caribou, bear, fur and jewelry made from teeth and claws. Also taking in people like me. Those are wolf skulls on the outside of the cabin. Solar gives him some power in the summer when it never gets dark - in December it is never light. He lives mainly by eating meat that is stored under the cabin in a small room dug in the ground that is always frozen.
Cabin interior - uses a radio phone that can "sometimes" reach the ranger.
Jack's neighbor's cabin and stream by his cabin - picture taken at midnight.
