Yukon Outside
Yukon Outdoors and Outside!
Outside could mean camping, cycling, canoeing, hiking, fishing, hunting ...we do it all here. The Yukon slang term "Outside" means any location outside Yukon - we Yukoners live on the inside. Living on the inside is an unspoken understanding to one another of the remote lifestyle we have chosen to live together. You'll find wildlife stories here too! After all, our critters prefer living outdoors most of the time.

The life and times of wildlife is an amazing to study; for example, did you know that a genus of beaver was once the size of a bear, and the horse was the size of a German shepherd? But, personally, other than facing a mad wolverine, I would say... more
