In Remote Alaska, Meal Planning Is Everything | Eater

"A vast, roadless national park and preserve in the Arctic interior that relies on fly-in access and seasonal staffing; it is the workplace for rangers who live in nearby fly-in communities and the destination for backcountry visitors who use the small village as a launching point. The park’s remoteness shapes local foodways and logistics—residents base seasonal lives around supply flights, chest freezers, and communal sharing of subsistence meat—and helps explain why nearby villages become seasonal service nodes for navigation, guiding, and provisioning." - Bree Kessler
