I’m glad you watched it and reported your thoughts here. I’m cold and sneezing. I’ll find you tomorrow, er, I mean later today.
Sarah Dad had the last words... did you catch ‘em? LOL.
Did you, nutmeg?
Its 1:05am monday, I was busy sunday night but I had her show recorded, I’m watching it right now. That was pretty educational about a bear charging at you and how much time you have to get off as many shots possible.
Arguably a pump action is more reliable but I carry an old but completely restored Winchester Model 11 semi-auto 12 gauge.
With one in chamber all you do is keep pulling the trigger.
Its basically identical to the Browning A5 except mine only uses 2 3/4” shells, but I know I can empty it faster than using a pump action, the barrel is only 19” long. First two rounds are 00 buck and the rest are rifled slugs.
Her gun shop Chimos used to be a lot bigger but when Sportsmen Warehouse moved into Wasilla they downsized, I know those guys behind the counter. And then ironically Sportsmen Warehouse almost closed its doors, its a good place to get almost anything but Chimos to me will be more informative and specialized.
Whats kinda funny is that most Alaskans when they go camping they do it by motorhome and I know the Palins have a really nice one at there disposal, flying out to the bush is of course real camping and is less likely to have the paparazzi around. Myself I prefer to have an RV or a trailer, even in the summer it can be cold at night, you have a place to get away from the bugs and you have a bit more security.
This summer and when this episode was filmed was very wet, it set records on the consecutive days of rain we had up here, I ride a motorcycle but usually only on my days off and on weekends and there wasn’t a whole heck of a lot of sunny weekends last summer.
In the beginning of the show she was climbing The Butte, its a huge volcanic “knob” that sticks out in the SE part of the valley and can be seen almost all over. There is a lot of farms all around it and was where the original settlers enlisted from Wisconsin and Minnesota and such back in around 1930. The rivers which are two is the Knik and the Matanuska.
There is a big airport at Palmer where both firefighting aircraft are stationed and air freight specialist. I was kinda surprised to see an ultralight there, yes we have quite a few of them but they usually hang out up near Birchwood.
Little by little we see a bit of Alaska, myself I wish she would do more about Wasilla, Palmer and the highway to Fairbanks.

Hmmm... not sure that I did, FRiend. I may have to watch the episode over again so I can be sure to catch little stuff that I may have missed.
I agree with other FReepers here who've said that Sarah's Dad should have his own show... very interesting guy!
