The life of an Alaska guide is one of challenge and reward.

I remember seeing my friend Kyle Shay standing in the pouring rain without the first piece of rain gear, looking like a drown rat, his clothes plastered to him. A guest remarked, “you look a little wet.”

“I’m an Alaska Guide,” he replied, “I don’t get wet, I am wet.”

Nothing about life in America’s last wild frontier is easy. Nor is it without amazing reward. have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in the Alaskan bush? To scavenge an existence in that harsh environment. Maybe you’ve done it for a season or two. Maybe for a career. Either way you are sure to enjoy this short film from Filson on the life of an Alaska guide.

Enjoy, “Guide Life”
