Hi, I found your series on Hulu and really like to see your survival skills! What's crazy is I used to live in a "camp" nearby twice as a kid. My Dad was a road driller, and he was helping to build the road between Point Baker and Craig. I still have the photos, some aerials too. I found the biggest red huckleberries and caught my first salmon there. Best wishes from a Washington State lady!

After seeing the series about this place on Disney+ I had to go there. What a beautiful place and the people are really friendly. If you're there on a monday make sure you go see the native midget wrestling. I made $358 in two hours. Every participant drinks a few beers first to loosen up for the wrestling matches and then its a slap happy good time for all. Man they like themselves some beer in Port Protection but what else you gonna do. I'll be back for sure.
