Life in Alaska (2015)

I just came back to the lower 48 after living with Nate in Bethel, Alaska for the last four months. I was working up there managing a new startup agent company for Everts Air Cargo. I’m in the process of posting a few other photo sets of specific interesting things I did in Alaska, but was having a hard time figuring out how to explain daily life in the bush. So I decided to post a few pictures of my everyday endeavors since most of them may be new or interesting to people who have never been there.

So here it goes, a few pictures of everyday life in Bethel.

Nate and Rachel’s sled dog yard attached to the house. Nate finishing a race on the frozen Kuskokwim river. The south ramp at sunrise Some wood I split to help heat the house. Our first customer at Everts

Unloading an Explorer from the jet. The sled dogs are sooo sleepy after a race. A pile at the dump. Look at all those drums waiting to become hobo pits. Siphoning water out of the sink into a fish tote to rehydrate Nate’s muskox hide. Our family, Ryan, Rachel, Nate, Eli, Lane, Neqa hanging out around the hobo pit.

Matt in town for fight night. They found this tree in a dumpster and figured the hobo pit would be a better resting place for it. The office at Everts And the warehouse. Low on freight – just the way I like it. A typical turn on our part of the west ramp

Unloading a jeep Think this is for the famous Dan Cooper? Selfie with Neqa Sometimes we carry mail for people we know.
