Episode 77: Tia Shoemaker: Raised in the Alaska Bush - First Solo Flight and a Giggle

“Hard work, low pay." So read a classified ad that Phil’s dad handed him years ago. Phil somehow passed the interview process and found himself employed as a packer on the Alaska Peninsula. There he met our guest, Tia Shoemaker for the first time. Tia joins us to talk about growing up in Bush Alaska, twice-yearly trips to the grocery store, jammed rifles, smoking airplane engines, thoughts on pink camo and three clean jokes.   Bush Alaska and airplanes go hand in hand. Tia recants her first solo flight and how important it is to aviate, navigate and communicate in that order.  Tia talks about her toolkit and when challenged, pulls out three clean jokes faster than one can jack rounds through a bolt-action rifle.Want to hear the whole interview?Click Here to support Ten Minute Travels by Subscribing to our Travel Tribe Membership through Patreon.With your subscription, we will send you a private link, so you can hear the entire interview. Want to learn more about Ten Minute Travels?
