“Hard work, low pay." So read a classified ad that Phil’s dad handed him years ago. Phil somehow passed the interview process and found himself employed as a packer on the Alaska Peninsula. There he met our guest, Tia Shoemaker for the first time. Tia joins us to talk about growing up in Bush Alaska, twice-yearly trips to the grocery store, jammed rifles, smoking airplane engines, thoughts on pink camo and three clean jokes.
Good things come in threes. Tia shares a top three of bear interactions that had a positive outcome. A gentle reminder to always take a long stroke and keep your powder dry.
