You Can Pluck Your Eyebrows With a Gerber and Other Things I Learned in Alaska

In the past two weeks I've discovered that:

In a pinch you can pluck your eyebrows with a Gerber and a compass mirror. This is important because after a rough day of hiking, and with no bar to wecome you at the new camp site, a little personal hygine can take the edge off. And maybe because when your hottie bush pilot picks you up after several rough days of hiking and you stink of stale sweat, DEET, and macaroni and cheese you can at least take a little comfort in the fact that your eyebrows are presentable.

DEET works.

It's fun to light a bunch of toilet paper on fire and throw it in a pit toilet because it smokes out all the flies.

Brown (Grizzly) bears, if you don't pin them in a corner, are sweet and gentle and afraid of you if you clap your hands at them.
