If you drive from Seattle to Anchorage, and take a wrong turn at Prince George, you can drive down a five hundred mile dirt road. Its incredibly scenic, at times it felt like driving through New Zealand/Lord of the Rings, but also my brother's trailer wheel fell off and we spent 3-4 hours repacking everything and never saw another person. We did see some big bear prints, but thankfully it was summer/daylight until 11pm+. One of the guys at the singular gas station says that snow is measured in feet up there. If you're American, the best way to pass time is to try and figure out your MPGSecks Cauldron posted:I heard a jar of peanut butter is like $30 up there  it was like fifteen dollars for a burger and fries in 2006.

I just got back from a week in Haida Gwaii for work a couple days ago. Now that is the true wild. Absolutely beautiful, and the Haida are loving awesome people that will tell you unbelievable stories with almost any amount of prompting. Hoping I get to go back this summer.

Very little happens up here. We scrape by, defending what succulent roots we can find from the horrid moose that roam the barren wastes yearing for a taste of human flesh. Thousands of us perish in the bitter cold, simply walking off onto a frozen swamp with the hope that one day it will thaw enough that the ice gives way and swallow our comically posed corpse. If we do not abide the rules of the land, the horse police will come and scold us, it is very rude, but we must apologize for making them leave the cities in the south, lest we be given a Starlight Tour. We are hardly people any more. More animal than human. Shrieking at the Northern Lights as we are carried away by mosquitoes the size of wolves, and wolves the size of moose, and moose the size of bigger moose. Our shacks are constructed from discarded Celine Dion and Barenaked Ladies CDs. A man named Jon is our king, as he has one bullet, but no gun, and we fear what he may be capable of. Each spring, when the snowpack softens, we work a little more on our ice tunnel so we may one day reach the great warmth and safety of the Big City. A fabled place known as Swift Current, where legend says the water thaws and flows. It has been many years since I have seen another. I thought I saw another person, and shouted to greet them, but all that came out was a "skoden" to which I received the response "wer ya to by". I believe in my soul this was a person and not the winds rustling through the coat of the mighty Sasquatch.

The Yukon Territory has 178 times the land area but 0.037 times the population of Rhode Island. I think that's pretty neat, sounds like a nice place.

While a variety of theories have been postulated for the name of Canada, its origin is now accepted as coming from the St. Lawrence Iroquoian word kanata, meaning 'village' or 'settlement'.

pencilhands posted:What's up in the northern parts of all of the other provinces. Have any goons spent time there? Or in the "territories" even? northeastern BC here. I guess it's only about 2/3rds of the way up really. It's, usually, dangerously cold for most of five months out of the year, smoky for a lot of the rest and everything's a million miles away from anything else, which might sound appealing if you're in a 'surrounded by traffic noises 24/7' kind of place but is mostly just annoying when you don't have a thing you need and have to drive three hours to get it. A lot of people just sort of...end up here, partly because standards aren't really high in any respect you care to choose, and partly I guess because the downsides don't really outweigh having to spend a million dollars to sort out a place to live anywhere you'd actually want to. I think I'd actually kinda like it despite all that if I had a job that didn't have me outside half the winter. I do though which is not so great. If you spend enough time up here you can compensate for bad posts with good bear pictures though. Like this one:

the rape fields and prairielands of saskatchewan used to host enormous herds of RCMPs, but over time they were hunted nearly to extinction by european invaders. You can google photos of hunters standing beside huge piles of slaughtered mounties.
