One thing that is "Telling" is that on many outdoor hunting forums...."Bad'ass" Rugged Outdoorsmen, are asking, "Why in the hell would anyone be hiking "alone" at 1:AM on an Alaska Trail. hmmm What does that “tell”? Tells me that "SOME" who pretend to be Bad'ass super rugged Outdoorsmen......are likely scared of the dark. Especially "Alone" on a mountain in the dark. My point was.....should there be any un-clarity.........that many are quick to judge and armchair quarter back the miss-adventures of others quickly into a thread, before learning that she likely has far more wilderness skills and experience then they fantasize they possess.
ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila).
