Suicidal caribou

I drive where polar bears not only roam, but cause problems at times, but have never personally seen one.
Wolves is a different story, have seen quite a few, the human tall might just be a slight exageration though, unless you are talking about their length stretched out. lol

If you run the ice road out to point thompson for exxon, you have to take one of their radios with you and keep up with the mile markers at all times. You have to report the exact location of any polar bear, even the fake one they set out to test us. lol

 

Jumping through the hoops exxon requires is redicoulas, but once you get an exxon badge it basically overides any body elses badge, I can drive anywhere on the slope with no questions, but it was a pain.
That said I will not put up with all exxons rules and requirements to run their ice road, unless I am making the big bucks, life is just too short for that kind of regs.

The hops every trip to point thompson is a pain, so I only run it when they have multiple loads and NEED them badly.
I have not run the slope at all for the last 3 years, this is my first year back on it, and if I am not mistaken they finished building a regular road out to point thompson, so no more need for that ice road, it wouldn't even exist if that is the case.

 

Wolves generally stay away from man, but you can not count on that. A couple of years we had one grab a guy on the go an a snowmachine.

I see grizzlies and black bear on a regular, most grizzlies in the interior are much smaller than coastal ones, but are still can be mean and there are exceptions on the size thing too.

 

Happens more than a guy thinks. A few years ago I was in Seward during that big mountain race they have every year. Folks come from all over the world to run up that mountain, and from the looks of some of them, tumble back down. An older man disappeared that year and despite massive search parties, no sign of him was ever found.
Not too long ago some folks were hunting and in camp, a driver I know son wandered out of camp one evening for some reason, search parties went out the next morning and got massive for a couple of weeks, again no sign ever found.
