What do you think? Do you watch Yukon Men? Will you watch the new season?
I most definitely am going to watch again. I admire and highly respect the whole crew of said Yukon Men series. They choose to live a subsistence lifestyle which is great but to live it in anything more than – 5 degrees below just the thought gives me goose bumps. I have my favourites and some I’d call rat bags. Yes bring it on, please. Cheers from Alice Downs New Zealand.
I was an Air Force radar technician stationed at Fort Yukon in 1969 and again at Galena in 1973. Both of these sites are up river from Tanana , by about 150 to 200 miles. The Athabaskan indians had a very hard existence and I did not envy them. As a member of the US Air Force we were well provided for in creature comforts, but it was still difficult being away from our families for a year at a time.
