  • Wrote this song long ago after being pulled out of a tree by a grizzly bear but stopped playing guitar soon after as I got my fingers messed up by a boat starter motor. Anyway use to play lots but it's been 20 plus years since I did and thought I would try to figure a way to play this song at least. Only got two fingers on the left hand to use. If I get better I'll make an improved version but for now "it's better than nothing". Or maybe not!!! Stan

    Hey Stan, just to let you know. You and Joey were the reason for me to watch Yukon Man. I loved hearing you tell the story of your life. When I found your channel here it made my day. I find it very interesting the lifestyle you live. Very few Men could live that lifestyle, we don’t have the Stones to get it done. I admire everything you’ve accomplished in your life. You could run circles around a normal man your age. Thank you for sharing your story here on RUclips. I like it better than watching the show on tv. Yours is not scripted! It’s Real Life!
    Thank you Sir!

      Not yet convinced it is anything but slightly catchy but actually terrible. But as a friend once said , " a phrase that could be used to describe absolutely everything in Stan’s life was: better than nothing".

    Hi Stan. I would love to hear that story. There are many "Story Time" videos and I think that would be a great story to tell on RUclips. I just found your channel today and subscribed. You and your son Joe are my favorite people on Yukon Men. I heard you are getting your own show. Can't wait to see it.

      It is being worked on right now at my fish camp but will take awhile as it is very low budget but high quality. Just our day to day life as it really happens. We'll be letting everyone know when it's going to be released for sure. The object will be to make it accessible to the most people we can.
