After providing a fur auction update from Fur Harvesters, I sit down with Nancy Becker, who was married to the late Bob Harte. You may have seen Bob and Nancy on the Discovery Channel show "The Last Alaskans". Bob and his family were one of the few remaining permitted to live in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Theirs is a dying way of life, but it's a special one. We take a peek behind the scenes in this interview. You can pick up a copy of Bob's DVD and pre-order Nancy's book from The Alaskan Cache.

We trappers have been practicing 'social distancing' since the 1600's, when the Hudson's Bay Company was paying good money for beaver pelts and the mountain men scoured wild country in search of fur. But this Coronavirus thing is taking it to a whole new level! In this episode I talk about the virus and its impacts to the fur market, then go into a chat Jim and I recorded from the Alaska bush where we talk Trapline Chatter, eating lynx meat, wolverines, a great day checking lynx traps, and characters from "The Last Alaskans". Enjoy!
