Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska The Last Alaskan's

Walt. Who'd have thunk it... typical, make all you can at the cost of whom you do not care.

Chew among village people is like smoking was back in the day: "it wasn't ladylike". (whatever the means!)

Go out to any village and you'll still find kindergarten kids of either gender with a circle on their jeans from 'the can'.

Wife finally made the break after chewing for 40 years. Been off it a year now. She always thought it was funny to see many men using both hands to make the 'deposit'. She was so adept that she held the can in one hand, raised the lid with thumb and forefinger, curled her tongue into the 'black beauty', and rolled it under her lip. First son was born with nicotine withdrawals.

'Real' (serious) chew is "blackbull". That stuff is straight fire cured twist tobacco mixed with the ashes of the shelf mushrooms which grown on birches, alder and other trees locally. The ash opens the skin inside the lip so that there is nearly 100% passage of the nicotine in the leaf. (You chop it all up together by uluaq or coffee grinder, add some moisture: coffee, tea, ....let an old lady pre-chew it, and then keep some handy in a small ziplock or snuff tin.....if you want to try this at home). Blackbull seems to be especially favored among the females.

Probably good I never got anything from nicotine. Not much from alcohol either really.

But who cares if folks, male or female, like this? Its their thing, and I've not a bad thing to say about it. We all have vices so to speak, one form or fashion.

We ain't gonna live forever either.

We aren't promised the next breath. So when I want to mix some beam black with a smidge of cocacola, or some straight bulleit 10, or laphroag... I don't let comments of others slow me down. Now and then I pull out a pipe. I've been known to smoke a cigar now and then when we were still competing in service rifle and I'd manage to ace a match or such. Or just the joy of competing at Perry after a l long day...

Since you were nice enough to ask;

Yes, I 'Was' a Felon, but not no more.


There is no 'expungement' and I wouldn't ask for a Pardon, because I dont need to be forgiven.


Both Troopers conspired to frame me, tampered with their recorded audio, committing Evidence tampering, Obstructing Justice, as both were ''missing time'' from their recording due to editing out what would have proven Alaska State Trooper Chris B Bitz assaulted my daughter, a child at the time. They did this to cover up the assault on a child that I reported. As a vice Cheif in our Firedept, I was compelled by law to report such, and as a father to the victimized child, I would do so again.
Both Alaska State Troopers lied under oath repeatedly.
Every time an edit is made, the 'gap' is joined at the next whole second, either 'snapped to' or 'snapped back' depending on the recorders setting, and an accumulation of edits can be fractions of whole seconds adds up to ''seconds gone', depending on how many edits were made. There are 11 accumulated seconds of lost time due to editing from Alaska State Trooper Gordon D youngs recordings from 7/17/11 and 5 seconds 'missing' from the time difference between recording time and actual recording on Alaska State Trooper Chris B Bitz , when both recording time and actual recorded time should be exactly the same. Both recordings were made of the same incident, both are edited.

On the vid, the 'cut' takes the recording to the next whole second (1;13;50.00.00.00) but the fraction of a second gap that was blank and claimed by Alaska Buero of Investigation to be a 'pause' is disproved by Olympus Tec, the makers of Olympus DM-10 recorders, the recorders used by the AST that day. The gap should have caused another recording file to be opened. A 'pause' would have had information start recording again at the exact point of pause 'on' when the pause is turned 'off'', and , again, there would be no gap in information.

Its possible, we are looking into it now, that ABI has Obstructed Justice with fake investigating their own Troopers. AST Ben Evans of the ABI told me the missing 11 seconds was due to a 'pause' on Gordon Youngs recording, but had no answer for Chris B Bits missing time . With less than 48 of looking into the matter after I presented the evidence to the ABI, he called me on my wifes cell. I dont think they did much 'investigating'

Files on the recordings were renamed, which is impossible on the recorder, and have download time of the time of the incident and days after all jumbled up, as well instead of plugging the recorder into their computer and downloading into the system, they turned in CD's 22 days after the fact, and much more.

Other guys came forward, unsolicited, with the crimes Alaska State Trooper Gordon G Young committed with their recordings.

Its $$, a Lawyer and the FBI involved. (Agent 'J', no kidding!) This May the Olympus people and Audio Forensic Specialists uncovered MORE....

This all came from the Kotzebue branch, as there is NOTHING to do with Nome or other stations in this area. Alaska State Trooper Vance Peronto, the child molesting Trooper caught bringing a 15 year old girl underwear at a motel also worked with these guys.

Here, listen to most obvious edit, and yes , thats me he is suddenly talking to, after removing pertainit conversation AST Gordon D Young has it tampered to ''So tell me about ...., and this is unrelated...'''' well thats a second conversation as obviously note by AST G.D. Young, 'unrelated' to what we just talked about, but ENTIRELY cut out, to cover up what I reported, the assault on a child by Alaska State Trooper Chris B Bitz.
19 seconds, is it....

I have great neighbors. All kinds.
Before I was convicted, I was a Hunter and me, the wife and kids made hundreds of thousands of $$ with art work and museum displays with the fur/skins we caught, tanned ,cut and sewed.

I used to volunteer a lot of my time when we are in the village, I was an EMT-1, Vice Chief of our local Volunteer Fire dept, 27 years with Search and Rescue, and on our Northwest Arctic Borough Disaster Planning Commission. Lost all that and a lot more from the felonys.

My kids have 'skills' that they would never have learned in some public school. This makes them functional and productive in the Village, and anywhere else they seem to end up in life.



My oldest Son is a work, accomplished Hunter and Trapper, something only a Home schooled education would give him and back when the shut down the HS program, he spent his 12 grade year in high school and graduated Valedictorian.
The second oldest boy lives and works in Anchorage.
The oldest daughter Tinmiaq sews and teaches, as well as camps and hunts with us, and she graduated Salutatorian from high school and took a couple years worth of collage.
The second daughter Iri was Valedictorian, and live quite well with her son and boyfriend, Hunting and fishing along with me and the wife.
The middle girl,Mary is in UAF, doing quite well, my 16 year old daughter Carol home schools, and the youngest is an A student in the local school.
Theres nothing abusive about raising kids to work. Lots of exercise, decision making and planning, clean water, fresh, traditional foods and not only preparing the foods, but catching and processing them, with the 'extras' such as skins. furs, antlers, etc to be made into arts/crafts for cash Money to keep the ball rolling.

My kids would have no problem outworking most any Man. The best you can do for your kids is give them a good work ethic.
24 and 21 and still going to camp.


As for my first run in with the cops, this was an eye opener. Ive worried about them going after my kids all right, but they haven't so far. Having my kids dragged into 'the system' is a real threat to me.

As for the thread, my apologies if my response to the question is long in wind. The book about the experience is almost finished.

I work with the SAME people that film/produce/tec First Alaskans, and the defunct Yukon Men. All these people are interesting, though filmed in various style, the real difference is in editing. Anything that gets shown on a movie or TV IS edited, thats how it gets there.

I love the show. Just wish the Lewis's would come back as that dude was tough. Also liked his choice of firearms. We lived in Alaska for almost 35 years and our 30 year old son was born there. Every time he visits me in TN one of the very first thing he does is search the dvr for the Last Alaskans. Son was fortunate enough to do some long river moose hunts up the Koyukuk and Huslia rivers and many fly in Kodiak deer hunts and knows what village life can be like. The one regret I had about leaving Alaska was wished the wife and I moved to the bush for a few years before we got to old and gave it a go. But thats life.
The show that Caribou is on is also good, but they just seem to repeat the same message every show with every main characters.
Caribou, tell em to mix it up.

The Last Alaskans is the gold standard. The producers are top notch. I really get a kick out of seeing the Arctic Oven tents in the background during the drone shoots.

He shot a moose with a kimber Montana a few seasons back as well.

No grudge at all, I don’t even know the guy.

I don't watch such trash.

Hey Chip, Good Come-Back,,,,, that AKPENDUDE, need's to Apologize to you, and your Family,,,,, for running his mouth,-[the key-board]- before engaging his Brain,,,, that is if he actually has one, and as far as I'm concerned, thats still OPEN for Debate. Thats my position, and I'm Sticking to it.
You keep on doing what you've been doing,,,,, it's all GOOD;
The Best to you and your Family during this Holiday Season.

Lemme guess, pennsylvania?

Posts like this are exactly why I won’t apologize.

A little Clarification for you...... Yea, the Arctic Oven Tents your seeing are being used by the Film Crew, and FWIW, Hymal and Edna have had one set-up as an "Emergency" Shelter for years, just encase the Cabin were catch on Fire in the Middle of the Night, @ 60-below,,,,,, Just-Sayin....

Sadly, I can relate too well. I sometimes wonder if the AST is simply continuing along the same lines as the Catholic hierarchy did with priests back in the 50s-60s-70s-80s: sending their defectives out to the bush.

Except the Troopers are going after the elderly and younger members of our family, while the church affected those who are now in the middle. Money fixes none of it, and time is never paid back.

(Nome has some good, but they also harbor some human waste. UNK has Branch - who was part of the pair that made statewide news a few years ago when they were videoed tossing the Native gal around in her own home in Kodiak.)

Rural Alaska life doesn't need help from 'good' people in order to be challenging.

Yea,,,,,, and your a "Dick", thats for sure.!!!!

Good for you Chip! I like the Alaskan shows, and enjoy seeing your ways of life! i so wanted to go to Alaska , when I got out of High School back in 1976, every one said I was nuts! I just didnt have the Funds to get there, and no real Trade, I do wish Id have gone, and have always regreted Not just going!

The troopers are worthless, I recently witnessed one tell a 10 year old kid and his 13 year old sister who had been badly beaten by their drunken uncle to “not be so argumentative” with their uncle.

(Step)daughter does have an admitted smart mouth at times, but at least she had the balls to ask Branch, when she was arrested on a bench warrant in November a couple years ago, why she was being arrested for an issue that had been paid and covered for four months previous. Rather than, perhaps, checking to see what she was talking about, he rushed her off to Nome for an overnighter at the Correctional Center. Judge wasn't much impressed by the AST performance when she appeared the next morning.

These's more, but chartering a plane this summer because they heard that 'someone' (me) had been heard on the VHF commenting about "perhaps a capsized boat up on the beach" without bothering to check with the source first....... but never showing up to investigate arson or make more effort to figure out a local murder where a young gal had her hair chopped off and was tossed over a bluff onto the beach below.......SMH

I am still stupid enough to generally hold law enforcement in high regard....... but it's pretty sad when they who should be eminently trustworthy are not trusted, and I don't.

You keep on doing the right thing, Klikitarik, and duck the incoming. Its hard to be on a side line when were all supposed to be on the same side.

Its not a decent world out there, but you have to take a stand when you see such crap, and do something about it.

They got me by altering the recordings, lying, and using the weight of the state against me.

It dont matter, though, I would do it again if I saw kids beaten or harassed by anyone, including law enforcement.

I couldn't live with myself for being a Pussy if I saw such happen, and then did nothing.


I wonder what kind of law enforcement the Arctic Refuge has? Feds?

Good show, keep it coming.

Troopers out of FAI. But the BLM ranger is the main dude. He doesn't bother the trappers much. Yuck has some city police and they do some stuff but its mainly the ranger. Chip.. Knowing what I know after three years out in Ambler I would go straight to a judge and skip LEOs. I know good ones and bad ones. Chris Hatch is a VPSO and I bet that Chip would go to him before he went to the Troopers. The AST show sure screwed up law enforcement in Alaska.
