A blog about my unique lifestyle and what really goes on in the lives of “The Last Alaskans”
Harvest Season is Upon Us
Rattin’ and Raising Kids
Tyler and I have been living this lifestyle of trapping and living in the bush half the year for 15 years now and we continue to find opportunities to learn something new everywhere we turn. It’s been a great life and now we’re blessed to share everything with our kids, Sidney five and Blaze three. read more…
I know, I know, it’s been a long time. 2022-23 Season Recap.
Last fall was crazy busy getting ready for trapline. Tyler was guiding moose hunts for Charlie while I was drowning in last minute chores for our town cabin. I had to drink plenty of nerve-calming chamomile tea to get by without loosing my wits. read more…
Prepared
There are two topics that people have repeatedly asked me to write about, a cooking guide to rustic living and some type of prepping guide to living life in the remote wilderness.

I’ve been trying to get everyone caught up forever! We got back to Fairbanks late the first week of March. We’ve been running around like crazy ever since.

To the Wilderness Fall 2021
Not according to plan, as usual, I fly out to the woods on Thursday, the 23rd.

Two adults, two tots and 7 big dogs are headed to Fort Yukon on Thursday morning and hoping to get us and the rest of our gear shuttled out from there. The majority of our supplies were flown out yesterday, Monday, everything was is plastic totes and we are trying not to imagine curious grizzlies getting into our stuff before we get there. read more…
Different
I’ve thought a lot about writing on this topic before but have never seemed to come up with the right words to properly express myself in a way people might understand. I decided to be brave and try to put a few words down about what it’s like to be me, a 21st century trappers wife, living a life that seems 100 years ago amongst modern day people. read more…
1st Emergency
Last winter was out 13th year having the trapline. Naturally something interesting had to happen. We’d been lucky so far and never had to leave for the entire winter or call out for help. Our luck changed last winter and we had our first incident. read more…
