Luckily, Ada's jobs are mostly indoors.
So she's not out setting the traps or carrying the driftwood.
The men are carrying guns all the time for self-defense and for hunting, but Ada just avoids that.
She's also terrified of guns.
So whenever any of the guys shoot, she like squeaks and covers her ears and tries to hide.
She has a very sensible fear of polar bears and guns.
Yeah.
The guys hunting is pretty successful, at least at first.
They shoot their first polar bear very early on.
It's so much meat that they can't even carry it back.
They just have to cash it.
So they leave the meat there basically and go out and pick up more meat when they need to.
Like they're going to the grocery store.
No, I don't know.
I mean, I've eaten black bear and it's sort of like steak, but I don't know about polar bear.
I imagine so.
I think any northern animal has a pretty considerable amount of fat.
Yeah.
This is great.
Once they start getting the polar bears, then they can fatten up the dogs.
