Customer Review: Awesome
I watched it several times in the few days since it arrived. This video gives a real picture of what life in the alaskan bush can be like. Although there’s not an abundance of formal teaching, it’s very informative seeing how these bush families live, eat, hunt, get supplies, and get along.
