The Alaska life is one that is wildly complex and unique. When outsiders come here, they are oftentimes filled with questions about the way in which we live our lives. But hey – we get it! It’s weird up here. It’s really cold and dark, followed by months on end where it feels like the sun never sets. Not to mention, we do have some pretty rugged style and a fierce level of protectiveness over our beloved traditions. At the end of the day, we just know who we are and we love the place that we are so lucky to call home. Alaska or bust, baby!
1. Go outside during break-up season without a pair of XTRA Tufs. Or, ahem, a wolf pelt.
Every Alaskan knows that, well, you just never know! With how quickly our weather patterns change up here, you just can't quite ever predict when you're going to have a clear day without clouds or a clear, dark nighttime sky.
20. Get embarrassed about going into public with a wolf on your head or a lynx around your neck.
We love our local pelts and furs in Alaska. Plus, you can't find anything that'll keep you as warm. When Alaska comes in like a lightning bolt and freezes you to the core, these items come in very handy!
