Post by: FinsnFur on December 08, 2008, 04:58:26 PM
You ever wonder how they get mail and food into some of those remote areas of Alaska when it's 50 below zero, the poop pipes are froze up and there's no way in our out with anything other then a snomobile?

Seen this on "It Tougher then Alaska" on TV this evening. Very cool stuff.   :biggrin:  No pun intented  :doh2:

Well this is how they do it; HUGE Hover crafts, hauling in food and mail to these people. YOU AINT EVER gonna see anything like this in Alabama  :nono: :laf:

Speaking of which, we got a few Alaskan residents members here maybe they can weigh in on this. I live in Wisconsin, were usually surrounded by snow and I aint never seen anything like this.

We used to have those, but now have found that Gore's internet works better.  If you want to see "tough" try to get a ham or turkey through the internet line.  But if you know a good techie, you can get it done.    :innocentwhistle:
