Astrid does seem to have some strong connections with Great Bear. And with the mission (whatever that is).

Thanks for correcting the terminology. Haida was the word I was looking for. Still a little surprised there is very little discussion in this area or people living comfortably off the grid in winter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haida_people

It seems to me there should be some Inuits or people living content without off the grid without guns, gas, and electricity - but still feel the effects of the extreme cold (even for winter) and the unusual wildlife behavior. I think of Inuit when I think of (very) remote Canada. Are the forest talkers Inuits? Maybe not if the hunting lodge is the headquarters. Maybe native Inuits should be much farther north in Canada and not found in Great Bear. While most people that depend on guns/gas/electric are suffering, people that already adapted (like the trapper, but more-so) to that life-style may be able to offer a lot of help and advice. Just thinking some of characters that can be added to the story. There is still time for Episode 4 & 5. I hope the big-tough trapper expects trouble at the hydro dam and saves Mackenzie at the end of episode 2. The trapper gets mauled by bears and survives,and handling a convict should be nothing for him. Anyway, just thinking. BTW, unrelated, I found my first moose carcass in Hushed River Valley. This is after clearing out all maps 2 times and currently checking all maps after episode 3 came out (all on Stalker). A rare find with a moose hide and 35kg of meat!
