two men living off the grid in alaska (Big Alaska: Modern-Day Pioneers)
one laments how people don't have the mechanical sense and another
comments on the teleology of wood, how as it dries it torques and
it is almost dry enough to be hewn into furniture now
the hotspot of the salmon -- good for the bears, maybe other humans have left evidence here,
another builds evidence to leave
he likes when he's the first to step foot on the land but
he also likes when he knows he's not -- it's not about being first but about knowing your place in history for sure, settling into known in the unknown
making concrete in a jungle
taming alaska after war

claustrophobia
