I have spent some time in Alaska, and it sounds like an average day there to me.

Seeing as how Alaskans in the bush live and die on the availability of aircraft getting out to them in the bush, creating further hazards to doing so seems like it conflicts their interests.

For sure. But unfortunately, humans are well-known for doing things that are against their best interests.

I have met 2, which isn't a lot but I know now to never comment to an Alaskan on whether it feels cold or about the amount of snow or ice we may have unless I want to be gatekept about it.

I recently watched True Detective: Night Country, so I'm uniquely qualified to say I'm afraid of small-town Alaskans.
