The tent man
alright, so my dad moved to Dillingham, Alaska, and we are trying to save money. So since the beginning of October he has been living in a tent, and the natives/locals are real impressed that he has not chickened out yet and moved into an apartment. Well to get to the point they want to make an article about him in the news paper, but he wont do it because he dosen't want people coming to his tent to see if he really is out there, and steal his stuff. But my step mom and I think he should do it, what do you guys think?

I agree with him also. Maybe after, in a few years or something.

Yep....anything out of the ordinary in Alaska attracts way too much attention lately, CNN would probably send a new crew to visit him
Three recent examples...
Palin....Snowzilla...AND, this weekend the convicted sex offender winning the friggen Alaska Loto of $500k, which made the national news this weekend

I suspect the guy has enought problems without sending up a flare that says "c'mon out and check it out, if I'm not there, steal/borrow to your hearts content"

Advertise his spot and someone will be sleeping on his cot when he gets back from work. Let them do the article after he moves into an apartment.
