Another Alaska reality show that stinks. The ONLY reality show that breaks away from the normal reality show mold is Mantracker. I'm sure the Canucks direct/edit away some of the true "reality" of the show also, but it's still fun to watch and Terry Grant (the tracker) rings true with me.

I haven't watched the show, just seen previews.
BUT, I knew dudes in Seward that ran rivers all the time. One guy had a... get this, an AMC Javelin 4x4. We're talking primer grey, jacked up, AMC car that he wheeled the CRAP out of! It was great sport getting our 4x4's buried and having to get yanked out. Usually high centered on boulders.
GREAT FUN and good times.

Bender, they say that there are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand binary and those that don't. (Have one of your kids explain it!)  Been there. Done that Got the T-shirt. ![[Linked Image]](http://a.tgcdn.net/images/products/zoom/binary-people.jpg)

I'm thinking the real and interesting folks up here- and there are still plenty, mostly don't make good television. were watching a bit of one of the AK shows, generally because we like to see AK, and to get that, you have to put up with the rest.. They were loading windows on a boat and the drama started... don't move that or something or the window will break....Thats when Carolyn flipped channels.... asking WHY does there always have to be fake drama.... The queen of fake drama is up there somewhere towards Prudhoe in that camp... geez... she takes the cake. Well there was that one dude on the race show with his bare gray haired chest all day long.... those two might make a good couple. Long as he was willing to be her....
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

(and yea that's him on the conner of the hot springs rd / steese hwy) > with his yota parked > UP THE TREE ! lol ! btw if u run a snowgo/high mark - AND u said more than once """how the hell did that guy get up there  "" THAT BE MY BOY BILL!!! lol!! It's cool seeing people you know on TV. A former neighbor of mine is a Sargent in the State Troopers and a buddy I worked with for a couple of years was one of the captains on AK Fishing Wars. I've even been on the boat he was skippering.

Worth noting, is that Super Jeep's owner/driver Carl Jantz is a very avid four wheeler, and has a Youtube channel documenting some of his jeep build a few years back. There are also several videos of him wheeling deep snow in the back country. IMO he's the real deal, and not someone the producers "created" to bring drama to the show. And Super Jeep was definitely built, not bought.......FWIW. I'm guessing the show's producers found him on Youtube and offered him some new country to wheel. Just guessing though. HERE is a link to Carl's channel.

High marking is the sport of idiots. While either form takes a modicum of skill it takes no maturity at all. I gave one form up decades ago when told it would stain the wall, rot wood and get my azz beaten. Never saw the point of the other.
I will admit I sometimes still initial the snow, etc. if it is a risky area such as a police cruiser I use Benders initials.
The only true cost of having a dog is its death.
