Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Heimo vs. Remington Bob

I appreciate the characters and their uniqueness more than the debate. It ALL works.

HEADS UP to anyone interested! !

Tonight beginning at 5: PM C S T - The Last Alaskans are showing on Animal Planet till at least Midnight.
Yes, they are all re-runs but for someone not familiar with the Show or Characters, here's a good op to see what's going on.

Jerry

Heimo's cousin wrote The Last Frontiersman and he has a new book called Braving It. James Campbell is the writer. This book is about bringing his daughter to Heimo's place during the summer. Edna was not well at that time, but said the young lady wouldn't make it. After a lot of trials and tribulations, she did a good job. They helped Heimo build a cabin. She wanted to come back in the winter. They came for Dec and part of Jan I believe. They had to stay in a tent as Heimo said he didn't have room for them in the cabin. The young Lady adapted well. They came back in the summer and canoed a river north to the Bering Sea. A very trying and dangerous trip. I really enjoyed it. The half native guy on the Last Alaskans flew them in and picked them up with his Helio Courier.
A good read.

Thank you to the OP for that! I too enjoy those types of discussions. I miss a similar type debate between by Father and Grandfather. Rabbit hunting with beagles was the subject. They differed on what type of dog (all beagles; but male vs female; trail vs jump; fast vs slow) they preferred and the guages and shot types to shoot the rabbits with. At the time I was often bored having to sit and listen to them debate those issues over a beer on the back porch or a tailgate. Now, I so very miss those. I still make an effort to visit with Grandpa, but dad's gone, so are the beagles and for the most part so are the rabbits.
