Alaska - Survival Tips

See you're off to Alaska,

Don't go to Fairbanks unless you want a real look at what the wild west was like.

If you do:

Don't play Eskimo women at pool, if you win you're expected to sleep with them, if you lose their husband sleeps with you!

If some random cowboy adventurer type says he's got something to show you in his pickup truck politely decline and run. Else you may be staring down the wrong end of a couple of loaded and cocked rifles with him advising you that a round from this in your face and 'you ain't goner get up from that' .

Take plenty of big freezer bags, they don't have butchers as such, they wait for some moose roadkill and butcher them on the roadside.

Also if you see any yank serviceman remind them that back in 1994 we whooped their arses in a flying exercise.

Something like this?

Looks like quite an adventure.

It might seem like a bit of penny pinching alternative coming up, but you could do the whole trip on streetview / google earth.

Here, I've got you started. Just 6000 miles to go:

I'll bring back some news, i intend to prove, once and for all, that bears do sh1t in the woods

Well, mind how you go.

I was on holiday up in the Yukon a couple of years ago. One morning, I was just ambling along minding my own business when suddenly I turned to my left and was face to face with a Grizzly bear no more than one metre away. They are huge!

Luckily that one had been killed and stuffed some time before it was put in that museum but it right put the willies up me I can tell you!

I got chased across the desert in Oz once by a ten foot camel with a three foot boner

luckily I could get more traction in the sand than he could get in my Sh1t

I think you'll find that its the pope who sh!ts in the woods and not bears
