The guys told me bears dig through ice like we would dig through wet beach sand. Notice the hair is rubbed off the knuckles of my bear from digging. The bears have black skin!
Narwhal tusk
Walrus
It never got dark and the sun only set for a couple hours. I slept with a hat over my eyes and earplugs. These guys watched movies, listened to rock&roll and ate candy until early in the morning...haha.
They use snowmobiles for travel 10 months of the year.
Changing a track since the one ripped. They know all about repairing their transportation.
Butchering a seal to feed dogs. The meat is so rich that they only feed them every other day.
Roger is a great guy. Lots of fun to be with.
I love traveling for adventure.
I recently returned from my Arctic experience. Something way different.
I saw huge Icebergs, bear killed seals, Arctic foxes, Narwal, Walrus, Ptarmigan, Caribou and ate frozen raw Caribou.
We hunted seals for the guys and dogs to eat.
Traveled about 1000 miles...
The bear dug a 5' hole down to a dead seal frozen in the ice. Pic #8 post 2 shows standing in the hole. Bears can smell dead things through about 6' of ice. They dig through the ice very easily.
Notice the black skin on the top of my bear's paws where the hair is warn off from digging.
Yes PB pants.
He says Seal are warm, Bear are intermediate (heavy weight) and Caribou are warmest. We slept on winter caribou hides for insulation.
The guys like Beaver mittens best. Some are lined with seal pup skins such as the stretched hide. They like eating seal raw and boiled. We ate...
