It was minus 47 degrees in the low-lying areas in Fairbanks yesterday evening.
Ice fog has been awful. I had to go out at minus 37 the other day. Total ice fog in town. I could not see a thing. I have not experienced ice fog this bad for many, many years. I could not see the tail lights...
Freefall, I have lived in Alaska over 30 years. I have taught both bear protection classes and self-defense classes. For bear protection, I have taught with Remington 870s and .357 4-inch barrel Ruger GP100s and S&W 4-inch barrel 686s. I recommend people new to shooting or wilderness protection...

My now 10-year-old German Shepherd has as the base a raised bed. On top of that is an LLBean soft cushion. On top of that, I put an LLBean's Rugged Quilted Dog Blanket. The raised bed keeps the dog off the cold floor in winter and provides support. It is easy to vacuum underneath. The middle...
