Many of you ask me how we put up with the harsh and lightless winters back home. You liken Alaskans to the pioneers of the Old West - hardy, full of endurance and grit. You picture us in -45 degree temps - bundled in layers of furs, snowshoed/bunny booted, beard adorned....icicles hanging from those same beards/nose hairs frozen - and when we speak it is garbled - unintelligible for aren't we crazy with the cabin fever? Oh, naive outsider, this is not the case! See photos to side of this note for tips on handling winter in "the Last Frontier".
