Reply to Richard Miller's testimony
So had a number of people tell me about this post getting negative (Richard Miller's (RM) comments) and decided to reply. Yukon Men is a reality TV show which does not mean everything you see and hear is completely as happened. For instance for starters: where are the cameramen? Instead of recognizing that it is one of the best on TV as far as portraying something real RM spends his time making negative comments using his own misinformation. For one example: How he watches me shopping "all the time in Fairbanks" for food I'll never figure. Last time I was there was last spring - 7 months ago. Usually make two trips a year there to begin with and one time went years without a trip and so what anyway.

I enjoyed watching this program to be able to see the beautiful scenery, wilderness, animals, adventure and struggles to survive.

Fascinating!
This show is amazing. It will make you feel absolutely LAZY! Besides how hard they all work to sustain themselves, the sense of community and support for the entire village is touching.
