We are on Native land where the mining and building is going on. The native councils have said everything you bring in, you take out. After you finish, you put it back the way it was. You see any wildlife, you report it. You find any bones or artifacts, you stop production until we get it sorted out.

If any bears or any other wildlife were to come through the camp, you had better hope the guy running beside you is slower and fatter than you are.

I think this will sum it up; I once saw a cartoon in Playboy, many moons ago. Two polar bears are standing over an igloo and one bear has his arm through the centre of the igloo and it's buried up to the armpit. He says to the other polar bear, Man I love these things; crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside.

I don't even think anyone up here has a rifle on-site. Firearms are strictly forbidden on the work-site.

All of this by the way, is no bullshit. That's just the way it is. And you can bet your bottom dollar there are bears up here.

Kind regards,
