Found a quarter sized seashell at 5000’ish feet in region 7.
Seen a lone pilot spend the day in his camp on north Gataga lake, naked. Up on the mountain the bugs were insane, no idea how he was managing there down on the lake.
The mountains are always watching lol
A metal igloo, now that sounds interesting. Did you take any pictures by chance?
I found a full bottle of pumpkin beer hanging in a tree, and a barb wire fence going downhill on a 45 degree slope, no idea why they would have fenced it as it was too steep for livestock to range in.
This was a neat one. Found this old leg hold mossed into the ground while butchering a caribou. The trap still had (has) 2 marten toe bones in it. Only think I can think of, some time back in the day, someone was trapping below timberline, caught a marten, and possibly got drug up the mountain by a wolverine perhaps?

Sat down on a log north of Peter Hope lake to glass over a cut block and found 2 pieces of smoked salmon on the log.
Was hunting last fall at Hihium Lake and stopped for lunch at the rec site there and found a case of home made wine with 8 sealed full bottles and 3 broken ones.
I noticed a few guys mention fossils in the backcountry. I’ve noticed I find them the closest to the steep parts of the mountain, if that makes sense. Especially in the sides of fresh cut creeks that run off of rock faces. Or up in the really high bowls.
Just an assumption here, but I’m guessing as the mountains were pushed up all of the fine stuff in the lower hills has been churned up so much that it’s hard to find them. If you can find a Boulder that’s fallen off of the mountain is the best odds.
Does everybody else use the same tactics? Or have some other pointers? I spend quite a bit of time flipping over rocks in the alpine. I’ll see if I can find a few pics
