Re: ERE City (US)
@theanimal What are the schools like? Do most people homeschool? I assume there is a hospital in Fairbanks? There are Fairbanks Memorial Hospital and Chief Andrew Issac Medical Center (serving natives) in town along with a number of clinics and urgent care facilities. From my understanding, there a...

Re: On-the-go Meal Prep Kit for maximizing grocery stores as an alternative to fastfood/restaurants?
That was also my first question about taking scissors in a carry on - anyone has got experience of this working? Think tent pegs cannot be taken like this, for example. Scissors can be taken as long as are less than 4 inches in length from the pivot point.* *Per TSA (US) regulations. It may be diff...

Re: ERE City (US)
I noticed! The log cabins look like they have no insulation. How does this work in the winter? Do people have the furnace going on full tilt at all times? Wear coats indoors? Huddle around the heating sources? For example, how "realistic" is this? https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2679-S...

Suggestion: Goldstream Valley, Fairbanks, Alaska I didn’t really expect anyone here to be interested in living in Alaska, but as a result of the below post, a forumite bought land directly behind me.

Oh I see. At the time I think it was both. I imagine the selling was banned in an effort to prevent any possible poaching.

Re: Western Red Cedar's Journal
Great photos! Thanks for sharing. I'm glad to see you and DW are enjoying the travels as much as you are. I imagine it might feel somewhat rewarding to see your plans come to fruition after the HR snafus related to your job last year.

Re: Quail Haven, an ERE Mountain Enclave
Mrs. Animal, baby animal, and I stayed at Quail Haven for the month of October 2023. We thoroughly enjoyed staying there and would recommend it to everyone who has an opportunity to do so. Early on, we chatted with @AH to figure out a system of living so that chores got done and we didn't end up fee...

Good luck with the recovery.
I love that area of SD. What a fortuitous opportunity. It reminds me of the story of the Chinese farmer. https://www.wordonfire.org/articles/fel ... se-farmer/

Re: Smelly Swiss Dilettante
I think the main reason it was banned was because there were so few animals left. Bison were in the low hundreds (from their estimated peak anywhere from 30-100 million), while deer and sheep were far lower than where they are at today. Some species, like grizzlies, had already been completely kille...

Re: Smelly Swiss Dilettante
You can sell game meat in Switzerland? It's very illegal in the US. There was a law put in place in 1900 that banned it nationwide after market hunters nearly wiped out all the bison in the West. It existed in Alaska until the 30s I believe, but has been banned since then. The only real equivalent h...

Re: Ecology- MMG
The frozen waterways really open up the landscape. They are one of the main means of travel here during the summer and winter. The transitions also serve as poignant markers of the start and end of winter (freeze up and break up). With the garden beds free of snow, does this mark the start of the gr...

Re: Ego's Journal
Great update! You guys had a much longer break from travelling than your previous stints. Did you notice any differences or challenges in getting ready and leaving than before? More things to get rid of? A stronger sense of attachment? Something else?

Re: guitar player's journal
+1 to @thef0x's advice. Immersion, practice, and feedback are the quickest ways to learning. In addition to the above suggestions, a basic tactic is changing the settings on your phone and computer. I'd really recommend finding someone to converse with AND a tutor. The former, I believe, can be foun...

Re: Nutritional yeast for dietary protein and fiber?
Eating 100 grams of nutritional yeast/day would be about $5 per serving. From my understanding, sourdough/wild yeast/homemade yeast does not have as much protein density, if any. Protein comes from the things that are used to feed it and bake with, like flour. One slice of sourdough bread is around ...

You've made that clear. Considering this is the first one in months over hundreds of threads. maybe reconsider your perspective?
