Oh the irony! I would assume that the bear meat eating folks were out to prove how warm the polar regions have become and were, therefore, enviroweenies. One wonders where they got the bear meat, heh?
And what was that dude doing walking naked in December in BC? Okay, it's a little warmer near the coast than inland, but still.... And walking to Alaska in December? Naked? Dude is either crazy, on drugs, or pne serious zen buddhist Incan monk.
Or maybe he has watched too many Most Dangerous Catch episodes, wants a job on a crab boat, and thought this was a good way to get acclimated to the expected working environment.
