Zombies are everywhere! OK. If you consider that legions of undead aren’t actually swarming the streets – there’s really no need to run to your window and look – zombies aren’t everywhere. They are, however, featured so often in books, movies and TV shows that it’s hard to escape the topic.

When someone mentions zombies, it’s often in the context of a “zombie apocalypse,” a term made mega-famous by “The Walking Dead,” “World War Z” and other media references. But what exactly does the term mean? Generally, “zombie apocalypse” refers to a widespread rise of undead humans that engage in an assault on civilization.

AK Bear Hunt, By Loni, the Sportsman’s Wife

LoniSomething I don’t tell many people (especially men) is that I have shot a bear.  And tanned it’s hide.  In Alaska.  
 
Girls usually think its weird and it intimidates most guys.  But whatevs…  If your from Alaska, its just another day at the office.  
 
I was digging through my Alaska pictures the other day and came across my black bear hunt pictures.  It was a memorable trip.  A time when I truly fell in love with the rawness of Alaska.  So I thought I would share it with you all.
