    This is all pretty amazing blackout. Must admit I thought you were a little crazy to try this but you sure seem to be making the best of things. Best wishes.

    there is very few job out there today besides the military where you can work to save as where back home i was working to live and pay rent n bills. so i have to be kinda crazzy to get ahead in this economy. ill be getting in the bunk house next month but ill still be camping out here just for fun this spring n summer. the coldest month just started so ill be doing some real testing soon enough. iv been lucky enough to get some warm weather but i dont expect alaska to take it easy on me for much longer

    Didn't realize Kodiak was an island. Google Maps: http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF-8...mid=1294089625

    Good info from APS here. http://northpacificseafoods.com/content/view/50/361/

    I'm glad to see you posting again blackout, those of us following your adventure were starting to worry a little.
    Isn't it dark most of the day this time of year?
    I much prefer the cold since there's no bugs. Can't wait until you get a camera.
    Stay warm,
