I made the mistake this evening of (briefly) watching a program aired on PBS called "Wild Alaska Live."
The on-line television schedule described it as follows:
I could only stand about fifteen minutes of the thing before I turned it off in disgust. It was produced by people I've never previously heard of (the Kratt Brothers are, apparently, well-known hucksters of wildlife-oriented films). The program was anything BUT "live;" it was clearly heavily scripted and orchestrated replete with purported fleets of helos filming bears which bears (and other wildlife) the announcer claimed were undisturbed by said helos). Imagine that.
In fact, I thought the whole production was a ginormous fraud on the public. As the entire segment I watched was highly promotional and clearly intended to whet the appetites of potential tourists, I suspect that Alaska residents would not be as offended by the unintentionally obvious scripting and the non-stop, breathless promotion. Tourist dollars are good for you.
At Katmai, the film crew set up (and showed footage of) their twenty tent "village" (completely surrounded by an electrified fence).

We watch it on cable. Usually the only other choices are re runs of tornado alley, 10 worst hurricanes, jewelry ads, clothing ads, Spanish crap we can't understand, or Storage Wars and Pawn Stars.
Sometimes reruns of reruns of American Pickers.
Plus a dozen commercials every ten minutes with repeats of half of whatever we were watching. Oh or Naked and Afraid blurred out body parts.
Tosh.0 if you like TV filthier than Lit comments.
Which usually leaves that Bush Brown family living the American dream.
By the way, until recently we lived near where black bears, wild horses, gators, and buffalo roamed and never was heard a discouraging word ya'll.

You've got two threads devoted to Alaskan beauty. Folk might start thinking your rubbing our southern flatland noses in the fact you live in a region of majestic beauty. Enough already, sheesh!

Looks like the Talcott's are selling out. Your chance for an established biz in Alaska that's on the road system but not near many people.

Johnson Lake scores another kill.
To be fair, the lake should only get half a point, the victim assisted.

That's a mesmerizing video— and a whole helluva lot of caribou.
