It's not often that one has to take time to let a herd of 25 caribou pass by while skinning a ridge, but here we see Mr. Peterson doing just that. Ok, I guess it's more like he's pointing at caribou about 1/4 mile away but that is still pretty damn cool because we were are about 2500 feet.
Note that Philip keeps his towers at full extension, in the event of a sudden stampede he is always ready for a rapid ascent. Experience like that can't be taught so take heed Girdwood, take heed. This technique also works for Dall Sheep and the occasional meandering wolverine.
