Field Trip to the End of New Road

On Thursday our class went on a trip to the "end of new road". It's an area about 10 km outside of town that is absolutely beautiful where the students were taught by our resident survivor man Laimmiki about how to survive on the land. Here are some pics from our fun day!

Snacks by the fire...no trees...thus...no wood. Inuk are very creative when it comes to survival! Moss and small bushes are burned and are kept in a stone fireplace that Jerry (our other guide) and Laimmiki made.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I'm so thankful for all that Shane and I have, all that we have experienced and our family and friends we love and miss dearly. Hope to see you soon!

Stay tuned for more Arctic Cat Adventures!
