I ahve to admit I averted my eyes when they did the Carabou. I watched my uncle do a rabbit when I was young, but don’t have the stomach for it anymore — so I’m glad someone else can prepare my meat for me!!!
My whole family is loving this series — my son is preparing to take a Boy Scout trip to Alaska this summer (rafting in the Copper river area, I believe). It’s been interesting to see Alaska, and a bit scary thinking my son will be up there out in the wilderness — fortunately with a group of people and a guide who knows the area.
I know my whole family would die to get a chance to spend a night camping with the Palins, and so it particularly irked me to see Kate throw a VERY EXPENSIVE opportunity away like that.
The series is wonderful, and like your family, mine looks forward to each Sunday. I hear you --- lots of members here would have loved to Kate's opportunity!
I didn't look at the carving of the Caribou either, and I've watched that episode 5 times.
