Close your eyes and imagine a wilderness four times bigger than Yellowstone National Park. Imagine a landscape north of the Arctic Circle with rugged mountains, vast expanses of treeless tundra, glaciated valleys, forests and many rivers and lakes. In the winter the weather can dip below -50 degrees Fahrenheit and in the month of June the sun is out for 24 hours. This vast and expansive landscape is the home of Gates Of The Arctic National Park & Preserve, where this episode hears from its superintendent, Mark Dowdle. The sheer remoteness of Gates Of The Arctic, located in Northern Alaska, creates unique management experiences that Mark shares with us, including the mining road debate and the unique Search & Rescue setup given there are no trails or NPS sites within the park boundaries. In this episode, be enchanted by the grandeur of Alaska and learn about a national park you maybe haven't heard of.Sponsors:Go to ritualchocolate.com & use code WRTP to get 10% off any online purchase.

Born in San Diego, Vincent spent most of his life in the South. After graduating from military school in 95, he immediately started a career on industrial boats and spent 20+ years from deckhand at the age of 18 to captain at 39 when he changed careers. After a shooting incident at his home and the resulting aftermath of having his son be suspected, and subsequently arrested and charged with attempted murder, Vincent suffered PTSD. So began a lengthy course of destructive behavior so intense he was invited to enter in a psilocybin treatment study at Johns Hopkins Center for Consciousness Studies in order to be treated with psilocybin. That treatment changed everything and he became so grateful to the change, he dedicated himself to bringing that same treatment to others. Since then Vincent has spent the last 6 years in the mushroom business refusing to return to the waters he was familiar navigating. He started growing laboratory strains, to hunting and farming wild ones outdoors. He spent two years studying shamanism and plant medicine in Northern Alaska and then to Las Vegas to openly provide on the streets as his own mobile pop-up shop. Now he resides in New Orleans, in the hopes to bring the healing powers of all medicinal plants to the open market. Connect with Eric's ADHD Experience on Social:

Ella Hibbert (27) is very busy these days. She is working hard to get her Yeva, a steel Bruce Roberts 38 ketch, ready for a grueling solo, non-stop circumnavigation of the Arctic circle this year. This is how she describes her solo circumnavigation of the North Pole: "She will be sailing from Haslar Marina, in the Solent, up the East coast of England, to a start point on the 66.5°N latitude of the Arctic Circle between Norway and Iceland. Then, around Iceland, southern Greenland, the NotthWest Passage through Canada, across Northern Alaska, and into Russian waters. Crossing the Laptev and Kara seas (NorthEast Passage) and eventually back to her starting point near Norway, before heading down the coastline of the UK again to set foot ashore, for the first time since leaving, back in her home base of Haslar Marina, England.

The past couple of weeks have had some interesting events happen over the skies of North America.Most of us are aware that the North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD as it is commonly known, has for the first time since its creation shot down objects that were in North American airspace.For those that don't know, NORAD is a United States and Canada bi-national organization charged with the missions of aerospace warning, aerospace control and maritime warning for North America. According to NORAD, Aerospace warning includes the detection, validation, and warning of attack against North America whether by aircraft, missiles, or space vehicles, through mutual support arrangements with other commands.Perhaps there will be an addition to that statement because the first object shot down on February 4th was a suspected high-altitude surveillance balloon which was deployed by China, who for their part called it a "civilian airship" that had deviated "far from its planned course" due to "limited self-steering capability."Most of us saw footage of the large balloon, which supported an under-slung apparatus including solar panels, and what intelligence officials believe are various instruments and sensors.Floating at an altitude of approximately 60,000 feet, the balloon was first detected over Alaska after which it traveled down through Canada and across the United States.On the direction of military officials and the U.S. Government, NORAD directed fighters to shoot down the balloon once it was off the coast of South Carolina. This location was selected as it posed the least threat to people on the ground. This event was the first time the U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor has made an air-to-air kill, and it did so using the relatively new AIM-9X Sidewinder, a short-range heat-seeking missile.This event was followed by subsequent detection's and shoot-downs of high-altitude objects over Northern Alaska on February 10; the Yukon territory on February 11; and Lake Huron on February 12. These objects were described as cylindrical or octagonal, and were floating at altitudes between 20,000 and 40,000 feet, and they were smaller than the balloon that was shot down off the coast of South Carolina.Are these balloons a new occurrence? Are they threats to national security or to commercial aviation? Did they fly through gaps in radar coverage? Is using missiles the best way to shoot them down?We invited retired Lieutenant-General Yvan Blondin, the former Commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) to give his expert opinion in answering these questions and others.General Blondin is eminently qualified to speak to these events as he served as a CF-18 fighter pilot who has conducted NORAD missions, and as a general officer, he served in various command positions at NORAD before serving as the Commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force.We can't think of anyone better to discuss this with -- it is exactly what we do here at Go Bold -- we have senior leaders share their expert insight on topics that are meaningful to Allied Forces around the world.As a contextual bonus, we added the actual radio audio between F-22 fighter pilots and controllers during the first NORAD shoot down of the high-altitude balloon off the South Carolina coast on February 4 (this audio is widely available in the public domain).We want to thank Lieutenant-General Blondin for his time and insight in discussing these milestone events for NORAD.Go Bold!

​​An alleged Chinese spy balloon entered U.S. airspace on January 28 and flew over the continental United States until being shot down off of the South Carolina coast on February 4. Since then, the U.S. government has detected and shot down more high-altitude objects over Northern Alaska, Yukon, and Lake Huron. In this episode, Blake … Continue reading Chinese Spy Balloon

In January of 1925, an epidemic of diphtheria threatened to destroy the very small, very isolated town of Nome, Alaska. Diphtheria is straight up horrifying. And without any antitoxin and completely cut off from the rest of civilization, Nome's only hope was to transport diphtheria serum in a 674 mile relay by dogsled drivers through -80 degree temperatures, blizzards, and pounding winds in a matter of days. The team Nome relied on for the heaviest lifting on this relay was that of a 5'4" Norwegian immigrant named Leonhard Seppala and his 12 year old lead husky Togo, together the most legendary partnership in the history of the dogsled. This story has been told a few times, across a few different types of media but its usually told as a children's story. It's really not a children's story. Northern Alaska is a brutal, often frightening place. And in part one we tell the very stupid story of how Nome, Alaska came to be, how Leonhard Seppala arrived there, and how Togo came to be known as the greatest lead dog in history.    Subscribe to our Patreon and get access to our bonus series The Corkboard Bizarre for $5 a month.

Doreen Cunningham began her a career as a climate science researcher and has spent the last 20 years as a journalist. Her memoir, Soundings: Journeys in the company of whales, is the story of her experiences follow the grey whale migration from Mexico to Alaska as a newly single parent with her very young son in tow. Woven into the book is the story of her time spent with an Inupiaq family in Northern Alaska, where she joined a traditional whale hunt and learnt about how climate change was already affecting artic communities. It's a memoir about love, wrestlessness, colonialism, motherhood and climate change. Doreen talks about the challenges and responsibility of writing about her experiences as a white person within an indigenous community, the urgent drive to write about climate change in a way that would resonate with readers and writing about science in an accessible, story driven way.

The title for the episode pretty much explains it- this episode is all about the adventure of a lifetime. Brian is a bear hunter, and a bear hunting guide. He's killed black bear in the lower 48, but spends 40 days every year guiding hunts in the Brooks Range of Northern Alaska, and many of those hunts are for Grizzly and Brown Bear (yes, I know same species, but considered different animals by those who are shaking hands with them on a regular basis). Brian tells us how he got into hunting, stories of his bear hunting adventures, and plenty of tips, tactics and tricks all throughout this one.   Give Brian a Follow: Instagram: @brian_hallberg and @contactoutdoors Check out Brian's Website: https://contactoutdoorsmedia.com/     First Gen Hunter Partners Camofire Link: https://www.camofire.com/?avad=296077_f214c5e01 Black Ovis Link:  https://www.blackovis.com/?avad=296077_b2167fab1 East2West Hunts: https://www.alexgruin.com/- promo code: firstgen10 = 10% off any purchase  

Every spring Inupiaq hunters camp on the sea ice north of the Arctic Circle, in hopes of capturing a bowhead whale to share with their village. But as global warming accelerates ice melt, it threatens the tribe’s 4,000-year-old tradition.

In this episode, we are going about as rural as rural gets in the United States. To the North Slope of Alaska. While stories of 24-hour darkness, 10 dollar gallons of milk and towns with no roads out are always popular when talking about far northern Alaska, there is so much more to these places. Patti and Rod Lloyd have been teaching in Northern Alaska for 24 years, and in this episode they discuss teacher turnover, being a white teacher in a native place, and tailoring the curriculum to the culture around you.  --- This podcast is part of the “I Am a Rural Teacher” national advocacy campaign.

Todays Guest is Sue Aikins.  Sue the sole resident of the Kavik river camp in Northern Alaska. The camp is located directly adjacent to the Kavik River, 197 miles North of the Arctic Circle. Her motto is "If it hurts, don't think about it. She is the star of a TV show called Life Below Zero  which is a documentary television series which illustrates the daily and seasonal activities of subsistence hunters as they make their living in remote areas of Alaska. Produced by BBC Worldwide, the show airs on National Geographic. The show follows people who live in the remote areas of Alaska, trying to survive in the below-zero conditions, demonstrating their everyday struggles as they hunt and depend only on themselves and survive using the resources they have. With all of the isolation, you’d think the scariest things Sue has to worry about are weather conditions, ample food and water and wild animals…but what about ghosts and the paranormal?? Turns out there are plenty of paranormal things going on in Alaska as well, and she is going to tell us all about it!  http://www.kavikrivercamp.com   Ghost Magnet Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/Ghost-Magnet-with-Bridget-Marquardt-2480154975336666/   Bridget Marquardt Bridget Marquardt is best known to television audiences and pop-culture connoisseurs as the sweet and brainy star of E!

In today's episode of Join Up Dots David Ralph talks on a series of wide ranging subjects as you would expect. He does have a lot of time to fill after all. So as you will hear on the show, he discusses why obsession is great and leads you to being as good as you can get at. Why you should really find a thing that the world sees you as being an expert in. Why a personal brand is the key to the majority of success that you can get online. But first, lets start with answering a few questions that have been taken from emails received at Join Up Dots headquarters over the last few months. Question One Dear David, loving the show my good man. It keeps me company on long drives through Northern Alaska for my work. Can I ask you a question "What is the number one piece of advice that you give your children everyday" and do they listen to you? James Cenerzon Question Two Mr Loverman, are you really as sexy as you keep on telling us? I was inspired by your recent vacation you took to I believe America. I cant imagine ever being in the position to take so much time off from my work. How did you manage it, and would you do it again? Claire T Question Three   David, i am in the position that i would imagine so many people being, where I have great ideas, then sleep on them to find they are the most stupid ideas in the morning. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can keep the fires burning, as I am going round and round in circles. Thank you much   Dan Goodmoan.

In today’s episode, we’ll cover the relationship between people, land, and how we use the land. My guest is Len Necefer, a Professor with appointments in American Indian Studies and the Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy at the University of Arizona. Len’s newest film,  "Welcome to Gwichyaa Zhee" explores the impact of opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas development on the local Gwich’in people in Northern Alaska and Canada. Len is the founder of Natives Outdoors, an outdoor apparel company that supports indigenous people through cultural empowerment, and a board member of the Honnold Foundation, Alex Honnold’s foundation which supports solar energy initiatives to create a more equitable world.  Our Company Spotlight is with Fisher + Baker, a seven-person men’s apparel company based out of Minneapolis. Fisher + Baker uses technical fabrics in casual menswear designs where you wouldn’t expect to find technical fabrics. I’ll interview Alexa Stodola and Maggie Maloy about the company, then Roommate Max and I will see if Fisher and Baker is as timeless, purposeful, and functional as they claim to be.   Episode Sponsors SAXX Underwear: Use the code "meister" at checkout for $5 off and free shipping! https://www.saxxunderwear.com/ The Nomadik: Use code: "meister" for 20% OFF your first purchase at https://www.thenomadik.com/meister   Episode Links Welcome to Gwichyaa Zhee - https://www.gwichyaazhee.us/ About Len - https://ais.arizona.edu/users/len-necefer Natives Outdoors - https://www.natives-outdoors.org/ Honnold Foundation - http://www.honnoldfoundation.org/ Fisher + Baker - https://fisherandbaker.com

Imagine this: you work full-time in the oil fields of Northern Alaska away from your loved ones, doing 12-hour shifts, missing holidays, and earning $40, 000 annually. Fast forward a year later and you’re already earning a little over $40, 000 in the first quarter of the year alone. Too good to be true? Not in the wholesaling world! And the wholesaling journey of today’s guest is solid proof. Cody Stone is an exceptional wholesaler from Boise, Idaho. The determined rhino first learned about wholesaling from listening to podcasts. While clueless where he fits in the wholesaling game at first, his business started to gain traction when he joined the tribe in January of 2017. RESOURCES: TTP
