Greg of the North Some of his research has involved atlatl (spear thrower) construction and their related projectiles - specifically design
and engineering of the non-preserved shaft and foreshaft components.
Out for a walk at -50... His latest exploits saw him spend a few months in Japan, return to Vancouver for a day or
two, then move to Inuvik, North West Territories. Quite a switch - from millions of
people per square kilometre to millions of square kilometres per person. Having been on the tundra a number of times in the summer it was quite something to arrive in the north in the middle of winter to find the winter tundra so different.
Some of his Northern experiences have included learning how to dress for the cold, travelling the ice roads to Aklavik and Tuktoyaktuk,
watching wonderful Northern Lights and getting to know the people of a small town.
Snowmobiling and dog-sledding as well as winter camping have been high on the list of fun
things that filled the winter months. His Summer has mostly been taken up with work...
He is now working full time with Inuvialuit Environmental & Geotechnical (IEG). This is mostly logistics work but does include some field work and travel by airplane and helicopter as well as boat around the Mackenzie delta.
Some of his other northern work experiences have included such things as; doing childcare,TOCing at the schools, Scout and Venture leader, training and working on the Inuvik Volunteer Fire Department.
Not all of you have fast computers but if you don't mind waiting a little while the pictures on this page are worth seeing.
With the weather - as of September 1st. - already starting to cool off he is looking forward to the long cold winter and its bug-less days.
A few photos can be found in the chests...
