The flys and mosquitoes in AK are straight out of the Plastocien era!
The first time I saw an Alaskan mosquito land on a patch of snow, and then take off like it was nothing, well I knew that it was a different ball game up here.
I would say that expensive milk/fruits and vegetables holds true:
Kids are tougher than the lower 48.(my third graders are happy t go oh to recess at -20).
Hunting is basically universally considered a respectable practice. For example: if you take your kids hunting, you are considering a good parent. I grew up in California and the exact opposite was true. And in California, if people know that you expose your kids to hunting , they will often think of you as a miscreant.
