Aarigaa! Today’s trivia has to do with Polar Bear Patrols. Did you know that several coastal communities have polar bear patrols to keep community members safe in case a polar bear comes to town.

Name one ANCC Community that has a polar bear patrol!

Leave your answer in the comments. We’ll randomly draw one winner from the correct answers and mail them today’s prize: a magnetized clip, a pen and notebook to keep track of any sightings, or jot down your grocery list! A deck of cards in case you get stuck at the shelter cabin, or at the airport. And a deluxe survival kit with a first aid kit, emergency blanket, toiletries, and more, perfect for your backpack or car.

Quyaana to the patrollers who look out for our communities and help keep people and nannut safe!

Today’s ANCC giveaway question: What’s one piece of outdoor gear you never leave home without, and why?

Warm layers, good kamiks, a radio, InReach, or something else? Whether you’re hunting, traveling, or spending time on the land, we want to hear what you count on!

Please share your answer in the comments. We’ll randomly draw one winner from today’s responses and mail them an ANCC Dry Bag, perfect to keep all your gear clean and dry, an ANCC Knit hat, and a first aid kit you can throw in your backpack anytime.

Our communities carry generations of knowledge about being prepared. Let’s learn from each other as we get ready for AFN!

Congrats Paniyavluk Loon for winning today’s swag and sharing the gear you bring to keep you safe.
