What happened to that guy that was building a cabin in northwest Canada? He used to post updates on the build progress?

All is good so far back home.
Yellowknife fire still 10 miles West of town. Fire fighters have been doing a great job cutting fire lines, setting sprinklers and dropping retardant/water to hold the fire at bay.

Fire by my cabin is still 6 miles away and hasn't moved any closer since I left.

Am currently camping in my buddies driveway in Soldotna Alaska. On Sunday a bunch of us are heading out camping and fishing on the Kenai River for a week. It's tough to be me.  ;D

On another note the gubmint says trying to return to any of the evacuated towns can result in charges.
It's a shame I can't leave. Whatever will I do?   :whistle:

Mtkeely, The member you are referring to uses the Screen name of Drifter with some numbers after the Drifter. The past few years he has had some events that limited his time to work on the cabin. A couple bouts of Covid and death of his father. He does post from time to time in the 9:45 on a Tuesday thread . He was at the cabin when evacuation order was issued by North West Territories government as wildfire was closing in on the location of his cabin. he returned to his home in city of Yellow Knife and when another wild fire was moving in on the city evacuated with his camper. His last post had him at a friend's in Alaska . If you go to the 9:45 thread and start at page 99 and work backwards towards page 90 you will find a few posts from Drifter giving updates on the wildfires before he left.
