You mean parts of the DEW Line still exist?

I had a friend who was stationed at one during the '60s. He said he'd been up there so long that reindeer asses started looking pretty good.

In a nice cozy tent with zipper windows and oil drip stove.

This one is parked outside though, belongs to fish and game.

I could do this. Looks peaceful, and I bet the fishing is great this time of year. Just make sure to stock up on 000-buck for bears and mosquitoes.

Barrow and Alpine oil field are both about 80 miles away in either direction and can provide first responder type care. Besides that, it's a 3.5 hour flight ViA single or twin engine turboprop to Fairbanks memorial hospital.
