Another thing we purchased for our tribal members was survival kits, and these weren't your average little emergency kits. We made sure they were stocked with enough equipment and supplies to help people get through an unexpected situation while traveling. In fact, we wanted them to have so much equipment that if they got stuck somewhere, they weren't stranded anymore, they were camping. All joking aside, we know how quickly things can become dangerous when you're traveling in rural Alaska.
