Yes, That's a Skinned Bear's Face

If you haven't started watching Heimo's Arctic Refuge, you really need to get a move on because we're wrapping up the whole five-episode goose today.

If you haven’t started watching Heimo’s Arctic Refuge, you really need to get a move on because we’re wrapping up the whole five-episode goose today. Where else are you going to bone up on how to snare a rabbit and skin it by hand and also how to battle a bear? For those of you at work and unable to watch the videos in peace, here are a bunch of photos from the trip to whet you up.

(Also if you can’t get enough of him, Heimo’s cousin, James Campbell, has a book you should check out.)

This is the aurora borealis. Your Earth science instructor showed your class a picture of this on the Friday before Christmas break to get your attention and it kind of worked for 15 seconds.

This is David Feinberg’s portrait of Heimo Korth.

Here’s Heimo marching off into the distance with his gun. You get the feeling he could get on fine in any era or situation. He’s like your cool uncle-slash-early hunter-gatherer tribesman but with a pinch of Elmer Fudd all rolled into one fine and intelligent human being.

Here you see an eviscerated grayling with eggs and innards strewn about the snowy ground.

Obviously, the last sentence of this notice is what makes it. Normally you’re prohibited from entering another person’s house all the time, regardless of what’s going on in your life. When you’re shit’s at risk of being fucked up by Mother Nature every 45 minutes, those rules become significantly more flexible.

Sorry, vegetarians. The Korths prize their place at the top of the food chain.
