    Hello! I found your site while I was doing some research on business continuity planning. I’ve been tasked in my office to draft its BCP. Thanks your article, I’ve got a better understanding of BCPs and Disaster Recovery Planning and I can hopefully, start on my draft.

    Many thanks,
    Sylvia Christine Inciong

  • Ptarmigan hunting
    Ive always considered myself to be more of a stream outdoorsman, but living in Alaska you are given so many opportunities to play in the field as well. I recently, last weekend, took up one such opportunity and borrowed the schools snow machine and joined Mr. Smith (6th grade teacher) on a x-tundra adventure to hunt some ptarmigan. Ptarmigan are kind of like […]
  • Summer Adventures
    Well, the summer is coming to a close, so I guess I owe you a summary of my adventures. After the trip to Denali with Erin, I returned to hot and humid east coast, Taylor's Landing, Maryland and spent much of the summer fishing on the Potomac river with my Dad and uncle. The river has only gotten better over the years, so fishing was pretty good and w […]

We met Erins roommate Christina and her friend Richard fo […]
  • Getting to the "Hinter" of "Hinterlands"
    This past weekend, I made arrangements with my friend Kale, to visit him and some other friends at their current residence in Mekoryuk on Nunuvak Island. Then came the unpredictable adventure of making reservations to fly there. It isnt far, just a short 20 min. hop across the Etolin strait. There are only approximately 170 people that live on the island, […]
