CARIBOU VIDEO

At 8:30am on Saturday, Hugh Kalluk pulled up in front of the hotel on his honda and waited for me to come outside. Btw, that's what you call an ATV here - a honda. Doesn't matter if it's actually a Honda, it's a honda. Anyway, I hopped on the back and we were off in search of caribou just outside of town. Here are some pics and vids from my first time on a honda, my first time seeing caribou up close, my first time drinking tea made from frozen Arctic lake water, my first time watching someone field-dress an animal and definitely my first time eating raw liver from said animal. It was an intense learning experience, and I'm thankful Hugh was kind enough to share it with me. For what it's worth, I beat Hugh at poker later that night. Oh, and the video at the end is the view from my room when I got back from the caribou. In the Arctic, the sky and sun are often changing into their next beautiful thing.



In front of the hotel - 8:30am.
