I've been working on a book about building in the wilderness for the last bunch of years. I have thousands of photos I've taken over the years but not all the right ones, but there are better ones that you guys have taken as well, many posted here already..

Would like to ask those that have some photos of wildlife, sled dogs hauling freight, snowmachines hauling freight, remote cabins, old cabins, river travel and other shots of Alaskan life that I could use, funny stories are even better! There isn't any monitory gain on them, but I will give credit in the book and at first, a free electronic version of the book and at some time if it is published, will also give a hard copy.

Those of you that have any stories of building an off grid house or cabin I could use, would also give credit for that as well of life in remote Alaska.

If you do have a photo I could use, would like to have whatever kind of discription you can give on where it was taken and when. It has to be a photo you've taken yourself or own the rights to, I don't want to infringe on copyrighted ones.

If you can help, please email them to me at Fogtender@yahoo.com, please include your full name and mailing address, phone is optional.

Thanks in advance to those that can help!

Mark

Thanks Marty, any would be a big help. Gotten a number so far, but want to put a lot of photos in the book and a lot of the folks here have a lot of good shots that would be outstanding to use in the book.

Although it relates to remote construction in Alaska, it also highlights the State, its history and humorous stories of the bush lifestyle that others have contributed to as well!

Thanks to those that have sent material already! Looking forward to others as well!

Got an email asking if I needed the name and mailing address for the photo credit, I guess not, just how you want credit for the photo. Can be your name or you're user name if that is what you prefer.

Thanks to those that already sent photos!

Some really great photos so far!

Does anyone have photos of "Sweepers" on a river bank? (Trees laying down over the river bank?

Or some of the older riverboats pushing barges?

Not sure if you need or want any more pic's...but once I get home (1st of next month) I could scrounge up some pic's of our cabin build process and some of the loads hauled to the island with our boat. Kind of a Ma and Pa Kettle look to some of the boat pic's. Might be too late by then.
