Surviving the Alaskan Wilderness in the 70s
with Efrem Razumny
Saturday April 12, 2025


Come to be inspired about how Bear and his partner Jessica lived and survived on the Yukon River in the Yukon Territory and in the central mountains of Alaska during the 1970s. It is based on his recently self-published book, “Becoming Ravenbear, An Alaskan Magical Memoir.” You will see how they built cabins and hunted for food and foraged for berries and mushrooms. Bear will relate how they explored living on the land in harmony with the natural beauty that surrounded them. You will learn about their experience of delivering their baby girl. Bear will show a lot of photos about the cycles of the rivers, from the freezeups in the Fall to the breakups in the Spring.
