[@ginalolli3477]

Seriously curious: why not build a very large kennel where all the dogs could sleep together, and then instead of chaining them, enclose the area with a fence?

[@rodrigo.gibson]

WORD!

[@leoc3492]

I’m not absolutely certain about this, but I think the reason they don’t want the dogs all in one kennel is because they would bond with each other to form one big pack. Then the dogs would fight for leadership of the pack.

[@jedidiah5131]

Several reasons,.... how would you feed your dogs, they have to be separated, easy to slap together a dog house, most people now use 45 gallon plastic drums ....and disease would spread easier if your dogs were altogether. Dogs get injured when they play with other dogs or in this case they would fighting, these dogs are escape artists they will dig to china to get under a fence, leave a gate open and you lose all your dogs. A very large kennel would cost lots of money ....These dogs can handle outside temps no matter how cold it gets, some don't even use their houses, they just lay out in the snow and let it bury them....

[@fortcastlevgn2368]

YES THANK YOU FOR SAYING SOMETHING

[@MidWestLife2022]

If they werent working dogs that might be a good idea, but not in this case, that would be detrimental

That dude should have been gathering firewood for the winter a year and a half ago...not as the winter where he will need the firewood is just arriving.

[@vickimeyers2672]

How do you know he does not "gather" firewood year round or that he was completely out of firewood? People who live in the Alaskan bush and depend upon woodstoves for heat replenish their firewood supplies numerous times yearly.

[@chappy48]

@@vickimeyers2672 he literally said he was running out of firewood...which is not a thing that should happen as winter is starting.

[@vickimeyers2672]

@@chappy48If he was being truthful about limited firewood, then he'll be up the creek without a paddle if he plans to spend the winter at his cabin/shelter. I noted he was using his chainsaw on trees that were already down. .

[@braindamaged9519]

One expectation you definitely can have is bears. Alaska has 30,000 grizzly bears and they don't all sleep through the entire winter. Having a deaf dog, being preoccupied with trees, those precious children are unfortunately bear bait. 😭

[@zhevy1]

Trust me. Every single one of those folks is packing something. They know better than anyone else.

[@vickimeyers2672]

@braindamaged: Do you live in Alaska? If bears are not hibernating and roaming off grid areas that are inhabited, you can be sure people are made aware, via radio broadcasts, of the bear's presence.

[@cindytucker3065]

[@laurieerickson5648]

I don't disagree that teaching ur children survival is being a responsible parent no matter what climate u live in. However, not allowing them a formal education and social development is going to be EXTREMELY detrimental to anyone that ISNT planning on spending the rest of their lives in almost complete seclusion. If either of those kids decided to venture beyond the boundaries of the Alaskan wilderness they would become the prey of the modern world. That's NOT being a responsible parent. There's middle ground there but most people aren't willing to show their kids that. It's one or the other. Smh why not give children every advantage? That means teaching survival in BOTH worlds.

[@505fastlife6]

So you would expect them to pack up and move according to your expectations?

[@digitalpunk5365]

What makes you think someone can’t survive modern society coming from living a life like this? People do and have for a very long time. You may have things backwards. Not educating your children in survival will get them eaten up no matter where they’re from or planning to go. Look at our current, educated generation preparing to take over. They can’t survive in the city they were raised in. They can barely survive their own thoughts.

[@bernadettewilliams7697]

Who says they are not very educated are have those teachings? Alot of the kids do end up leaving and I assume for education reasons among others

[@chrismullin8304]

I agree with learning to navigate both environments. However, I believe it’s an easier transition to go from the woods, into the city.

Some specific differences between dogs and humans include: * Amino acid requirements, and thus protein requirements, are different for dogs than for humans. Human adults require 8 essential amino acids, and babies need 9, while adult dogs require 9 amino acids, and puppies need 10. * While vitamin C is considered an essential vitamin in humans because we can't make it and must have it, it's not considered essential for dogs. They form vitamin C in their liver. * Humans need to monitor their cholesterol levels, which generally rise in proportion to the amount of fat or meat in the diet. However, although a dog's cholesterol levels can become abnormally elevated, a meal high in saturated fats is just what they need. * Dogs must have meat in their diet to be in optimum health. A dog's sharp canine teeth are evidence of their need to tear apart raw meat, and thus their requirement for meat. Humans, on the other hand can eat a vegetarian diet with high grain, and maintain optimum health. * Dogs can't handle as much cereal as humans. One reason is that humans and dogs differ in the amount of enzymes they make that are needed to break down carbohydrates. Dogs have about 80% less enzymes to break down carbohydrates than people do. * Dogs can't handle large amounts of fiber, while humans can. When dogs are fed large quantities of fiber, it can result in constipation, excessive stool output, decreased nutrient digestion, and poor visual appearance.
