 2400 mile drive through 3 US states and 3 provinces coming up on Monday… my fear of roadway moose and black ice may be coming to fruition… 
 Chasing waterfalls in the Tongass rainforest

 I’m in Anchorage for a couple days and I’ve gotta hand it to this city, the food here is surprisingly varied. All SO GOOD. Didn’t expect south central Alaska’s food scene to be this top notch… #foodstr #grownostr https://image.nostr.build/7ded573b16b331d851e6d86b2c8fe180ed566208ccb398f471031305de51a172.jpg https://image.nostr.build/d792830d9bc23a979342676b9d84473fa500a222afdf58e97b5f2c88340862fd.jpg https://image.nostr.build/d5bd0b787d427025ac864efea8a278ab11f2a0876615e82f4774c934e8c43676.jpg

 Some of my photo work from the ‘23 guiding season up in Alaska’s #Tongass rainforest. I’m down from a laparoscopy until my next work contract picks up and found these shots in my newly freed time.

Meet Sitka and Qigiq, two of the four raptors I introduced to guests on my tour route regularly. Maybe the coolest coworkers I’ll ever have as a guide 🦅

 Anyone else using #Polycam these days? I’ve found it to be an interesting outlet for documenting the work we do at #icecastles. Shown here, the Arctic alcove, I’ve now worked on two of these in my time.

I still have a ways to go in perfecting LiDAR but I’m having fun with it for now.

 It’s a whole lot of fun and doesn’t take much time at all! I’m intrigued, these sound awesome, do you know their tag? I’ve gotta check this out! 
 With an influx of artists who are sure to make their way into this app, thought I’d share a bit on the work I’m involved in.

Alongside an ice crew, I spend my winter dedicated to the construction of an ice castle. We work rigorous hours, often in negative temperatures, across 5+ weeks to get this up and running for winter tourists to walk through.

It’s a truly blue-collar artistic undertaking, we bring in creatives and laborers for this. You’ve just gotta see it to believe it!

 Thank you Matt!

I hadn’t fully explored NOSTR yet, I didn’t realize this was an option. Super cool. Added🤯 
 Ahh gotcha yeah, lightning addresses are still new to me😂🤦 appreciate the heads up there, Matt! 
 Heck yeah, thank you Matt! I’ll be sure to return the favor here one of these days, thanks for all your help 🤟🏻 
 This is a shameless ask of the #nostr community-

Who can get me an #Alby wallet invite code? I’d like to get the ball rolling on this! I can offer warm wishes and virtual hugs as a thanks🙇🏻 
 Don’t let me down here, #bitcoin Bros and Babes! 
 Hellllo #Nostr! I’m Brolin, your friendly neighborhood seasonal worker, just here to begin my switch off (most) social media. This seems like a promising outlet.

(Keeping that Instagram to journal my guide trips, obviously.)

#introductions 
 Great perspective, I can say I’d agree with this. Theres no doubt in my mind I’ll find that here 
 Thank you!🤟🏻 I work as a wildlife guide, previously focusing on black bears + pink salmon, though I’m expanding into coastal brown bears and a handful of pacific salmon species this season.
