Wow, hello, from a logger, log Scaler's kid. We still love that trip, and many up to fairbanks even though we only got to fish from Karl's in unalaska to Kodiak and afognek.

It's easy for those of us who aviate to look down on the efforts of those who toil along the surface as trivial. This documentary reminds us to be humble... and thankful.

We got a lot of this when I was in school in the 60s-70s. Made me want to become a physicist. I chose geophysics.

You got that right. There are two different worlds out there

Many people cannot live a life of adventure like this. People are tied down with adamant chains put upon them by Banks, Credit companies, and the oppression of the Capitalist system. Their minds are warped by consumerism and their bodies are sick through unhealthy foods and chemical additives. Many of the working poor live paycheck to paycheck. As Rousseau once wrote..."Man is born Free but everywhere he is in chains".

Life would be so much more interesting and fun it was more of an adventure

@@ut000bs good choice

Not a lot of trouble to get into in Nenana.

So what were the bronze levers for in the wheelhouse? I recognized the throttles but the levers operating in an horizontal plane? Please help me understand this if you can.

@@seanworkman431 The lower levers control the "steering" rudders (for steering when in forward gear), while the upper levers are for the "flanking" rudders (in front of the wheels [props] and for steering while in reverse)

@@maxwawrzyniak2507 thank you very much

That would be a great adventure for a young man

@Honeysuckle Blossom bob ross is right, plus at least anchorage is much less windy

There is no such thing as a smartphone, if it were smart it would turn itself off during working hours. Instead the phone both, I mean the bathroom is usually full of those that have no life of their own or concept of the work ethic and need to live it through their acquaintances posting on Twit and Assbook.

there are men who are not young living Alaska. Maybe it's not to late.

Diddley 0651 My wife and I with our 16 year old son sold everything in 2016 and moved to Tanana where she is the school superintendent and I'm the facility supervisor. We just up and did it. I'm 52.

I'm also the city manager, (part time). I'm looking to hire a diesel mechanic in Tanana.

This was common , 50 years ago

@Brian Bouley Correction, the people are so tough the work is not.

Instablaster...

Me too!

Good luck and have fun!

I live in Tanana. Those barges delivery freight to us all the time. Cost is 15 cents per lb for stackable freight and 22 cents for things that have to be on top. So a 5000lb vehicle would be $1100 but a 5000lb stack of lumber would only be $750. Lowes delivers to the barge for $150. Everything in this video is accurate. There was a barge grounded out in front of the village for a couple of months last year while they waited for rain to raise the water level. I don't know how old this video is but its still right on track. Although I think that company closed or sold out, its now Ruby Marine.

Speak for yourself and your group. The folks I work with, live next door to and hang with are always there to help each others families.

@Brisdad53 I was in the boiler plant at that time , that spring of 73 they had a 5.0 quake down river some place , got there about Aug of 72 .

@Brisdad53 LOL there was a few things that went on that was interesting . I was the NCOIC of the boiler plant so didn't get to know everyone but one time I asked the civilian over the engineering section for a ride down to Galena AFB an he said ok but can you help me with something sure I said lol , well we went behind supply an he loaded up a oxygen tank , he had a gold claim up river at ruby , well a few days later I was in supply ordering something an the guy there said , gee I wish we could catch Mitch stealing gas cylinders , I never asked him for a ride again lol . Did you ever go out to the cabin along the river bluff , a friend an I spent a night out there when there was still snow on the ground , the dam stove was terrible , every time we loaded it up it smoked back so bad we had to stand outside until the cabin cleared out lol what a cold night . :) I asked a scope operator once if he ever seen a UFO on screen , he said yes but no matter what the say an anomaly doesn't fly off at 5000 MPH , I always ask military guys that question , quit interesting what you'll hear :) .

@@airdrop1670 If you were there in August of 72, then we knew each other (I got there Nov, 72). And I WELL remember seeing things on my scope that traveled in excess of mach 5 (3000mph), things that neighboring stations like Ft Yukon and Tin City would also track. Never saw 5K until I started flying the EC-121. And if you're talking about the Campion Hilton, I spent a lot of time in that cabin, and think of it often. BTW, "brisdad" was hacked, this is it's replacement acct. Do you remember when the guy shot the bear out at the dump and it was hanging in the chow hall for several days?

@@maxsdad538 Sorry , he was stationed at a site in the northwest OR or WA on a mountian top an that's where he seen it , my bad for not being more accurate . As to the bear I was with the guy that shot it , I told him not a good idea , he wasn't a hunter an didn't think it thru , buck fever .

Expense of operation of hovercraft for tonnage hauled is prohibited. Fast is expensive.
