When I was there the locals were allowed 6/year so it was like their beef. At the camp we’d shoot yearlings and hang them in the cave in cheesecloth. Literally slice some dry aged yearling Caribou and fry it . Tender as butter. Ralph was about 6’1” 300 lbs and his wife was a little Chinese gal about 100lbs but she made the absolute best Moose ribs. Moose is great also. I don’t recall her exact recipe but I do remember the process took more than a day to prepare and cook the ribs. He also set me up the best smoked salmon I’ve ever had. Brought back 20-25 lbs and shared with my hometown. Still get people asking me about it. Halibut is the best fish IMO. Every August Pen-air would have a huge pot luck in the King Salmon hanger. Locals would prepare dishes and canneries would donate various fish and meat. Talk about some great food washed down with Rainier. Partied pretty hard on the beach. Also liked Fisherman’s and the Red Dog. Believe we got pizza at Hadfiel’s. Pretty cool you’re up there and on a boat. Not many people can say they’ve spent time in Naknek. We got 6 pizzas from Hatfelds when I was there. Some of the guys didn't like it but I thought it was pretty good. This guy I sailed with in the beginning of the season had to leave for medical reasons, bought 900$ worth of mt dew to drink, he stored it on the barge. Yes, I said 900$ worth of mt dew. Anyway when he left he couldn't take the mt dew with him so he left it for us. We would trade it with the locals for the freshest salmon you could imagine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember in 1990 a pizza and case of beer were almost $30. Mt Dew is like liquid gold 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went back in 1994 and 95 to work there. Great fishing year but we got slammed in short increments so we had more time off than normal. When I had time off I helped a local name Ralph Robertson build his home. Ralph and his brother were commercial fisherman in the summer and big game guides in the fall and spring. We flew a super cub out of Naknek airport 65 nautical miles to their remote hunting camp. I helped them prepare and also did some hunting. Shot a decent caribou per photo. We also spent quite a bit of time fishing when we had time off including time at Katmai National Park and watching brown bears at Brooks Falls. Also spent quite a bit of time in Ketchikan from September - November working for Silver Lining Seafood. That's a pretty cool early work experience for sure. I had a dirt biking bud who moved there 40 years ago and did much of the same. It still doesn't take anything away of you being a complete tool bag, but still pretty cool 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mini 2 is a great drone. I almost went with the mini but decided on the Air 2 for the bigger 1/2" camera sensor. My 1st 2 drones had the same size as the mini and I have printed them up to 24"x36" without any problem, but for me the little extra from the larger sensor might make a difference when it comes time to sell a print. The new Mini 2 has the same occusync (sp) as their high end drones. It's worth the extra $100 or whatever it is over the original Mavic Mini. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy direct from DJI they sent me a referral coupon worth $10 off. It's not much, but I think they know that they dominate the market. https://referral.dji.com/events/dji-referral/referrers/c4d9ebca-ed47-4b2f-9bca-53436a7ae855/share 8 hours ago, racinfarmer said: My dad has a DJI Phantom something or another.

ckf Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 We got our tank topped off today. It's nice to see kerosene at $2.25/gal. 180 gallons for $400. If it stays that low we might be able to get by on less than $1000 in heating fuel for the winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
