A true survivor im glad I found this show and learned about stans story I was going through some rough times a few years back when I began to watch and hearing about what Stan has been through I realised if this man can survive everything he's been through and rebuild his life I can it gave me alot of hope and inspiration so thank you Stan you may have saved me from myself much love from England uk

Wow that is inspirational in itself. Happy it helped you like that. I don't feel that special however.

I came upon this site by chance! I recall my second winter as an infantry brigade Captain stationed at Ft. Wainwright in 1971. We had it even colder, if that's imaginable, and it went down to -67 one day when we were out in the field. Just how brutal (and scary, too, when you're out in it) this temperature range is, cannot be fully understood if you haven't experienced it. You brought it about as close as someone can get to sensing it! What memories you triggered with this "COOL" video! Thanks! Rich Brennan

Correction to the "Maureen O'Toole" name on that one...and probably this one, too. I'm the GUY who wrote that one above! RICH BRENNAN

There’s gold, and it’s haunting and haunting; It’s luring me on as of old; Yet it isn’t the gold that I’m wanting So much as just finding the gold. It’s the great, big, broad land ’way up yonder, It’s the forests where silence has lease; It’s the beauty that thrills me with wonder, It’s the stillness that fills me with peace. Robert W. Service, "Spell of the Yukon"

[@williampysell2819]

Stan, I was one of the viewers of your show "Yukon Men" for all of the years it was produced and aired. I absolutely loved the show and most of the characters who were in it. I miss the show! Living in Alaska has been a dream of mine since I was about (10) years old, and I am now (74). I guess that I will have to give up on that dream now! Harsh temperatures and a very tough way of life, but a GOOD life. Thanks for your video, and the best of everything for you, Joey, and all of the people in Tanana. Happy New Year!

westmeathguy Yes, the worse thing is I automatically know to set my alarm on my car and lock the doors and set my house alarm never giving it a second thought. Until one day I was speaking to a gentlemen from Saudi Arabia and I noticed as he left his house in Saudi Arabia he didn’t lock his door. All of us on Perascope told him don’t forget to lock your doors. He said we have no need to lock our doors unlike you Americans. He said if somebody is caught stealing we can cut his hand off. 😳. I don’t know if he was joking or he was serious. But that made me realize not everybody has home invasions and stolen cars. 🙈
