Can’t really hold that against them though, they’re living a life I could only dream about, hunting fishing living off the land and getting well paid pretty smart folks it you ask me and come across as decent people.

You could really regret doing that in Scotland and some parts of the north, anyone who has fished in spring (summer can be bad aswell though) in Scotland will know what I mean, give me a few dozen grizzlies over 10 trillion midges in every nook and cranny any day ??

? You'll have to let me know what your trick was, I've tried everything and to make it worse the dots stay on me for about two months ? I had some funny looks with about 500 bites on my face.

 

Been caught out when it's like this it sends you mad you can feel every bite

Gnash. Have you ever seen Happy People: A Year In The Taiga?

It's not exactly McCandless style disappearing, it's closer to off grid living. It follows the hunters and trappers living out in the Siberian wilderness for a year. If the Yank reality stuff gets on your nerves this is a pretty good antidote for it.

There is a scene on happy people, where he’s going home to “see” his wife. Lol

watch how his dog runs beside his snow machine. Somewhere between 20and 30 kl per hour for 120 kl(?). Damn impressive.

That same dog(bitch) will spend its time sleeping outside in -30c weather. 

Tough animal.

Cant remember exactly what month i went now but think it might have been a bit early for the midgies March/April maybe.
