If I were in Alaska, I would do the same.
Pity I’m in a burb in MI.
My employer did indeed buy a ranch fed hog a couple of years ago, huge animal. He took an old 4 yard loader bucket and propped it up over a huge pile of old pallets, filled it with water to boil and dunked his hog in it with the company boom truck we use for delivering concrete septic tanks, same truck he uses for picking up moose that are struck on the highway, we get on average over 400 moose strikes per year in our area of Alaska (Wasilla).
problem is the cities will feel the crunch of a shortage first, its the cities that will panic. people from the cities will travel out trying to steal from those in the sticks.
The people from the city will die.
