September 27, 2018

James Kuppersmith sat down with Ford Brown of “The Ford Faction” and discussed his time in Alaska from the perspective of an Alabamian.

James is a veteran and was stationed in Alaska, where he met his wife. It turns out they were both from Alabama and ended up meeting back in Alabama just a few years later.

Ford and James cover everything from nightless days to the wildlife you always have to watch out for.

James shares how the modernization of Alaska takes so long because so many things there are protected or might have a negative environmental impact.
