That video was wonderful, Thanks. And thank you for this information. I crashed an airplane very, very near there at a guiding lodge. That is where I talked to the guy who with many others would migrate to Lake Clark long ago.
just imagine getting that tractor on site !!
sidenote...the trapline twins..the Collins twins who live in Denali...wrote about getting icelandic ponies into their remote homestead. once they had a vet tranquilize the little horse and they put it in an airplane. half way to homestead it came to and only daylight or way forward to freedom it could see was the windshield of the plane.it was a hell of fight keeping it from coming over the front seats to bust free through the windshield. imagine flying tat plane with a multi 100# moving and thrashing beast free as cargo !!
the sisters are aging and in 2017 they said as long as they could do the things they would stay in remote homestead.i think they will be 64 this year.i checked so yea..64 they were born in 1959.

According to the video, they need 40 cords of wood every winter! That would be a never ending job.
I ran an air ambulance for a couple years. I picked up a few people out of Stony River. My office looked out on the Kuskokwim River.
