We get Sierra Club folks up here in Alaska all summer long. It's funny when I talk to the guides about the concern for bear protection (guns) and the reports back on how they trash the environment while out becoming one with nature. I've also experienced first hand how they look down on and belittle the locals and those of us that work in bush communities. While sitting in a lodge in Bettles AK drinking coffee, I had this one older Sierra Club woman (obviously alittle put out by the quality of the little airplane ride in) demand that I get up and help her with her bags, not ask, tell. Another thing I took note of was all the disgust they had with folks wearing fur up here… as they get their polar fleas clothes out of their “leather” suitcase. Some guides have some fun, every now and then, with those really obnoxious types and make them pack out their own waste, if you know what I mean. “Hey man, did anybody see my ziplock bag full of tootsie rolls?”
