Hypothetically, you find yourself in the Alaskan wilderness, with an elderly man who keeps calling himself your father. You’re on a desolate beach, miles from the nearest road, with nothing but your Whynatte shirt, a hand saw, and a half dozen dried monkey pelts.
Outlook = Bleak.
At this point, most people would give up, throw in the towel, and lay down shoreside for a few final breaths. Orion, however, is not most people…
Orion, Whynatte’s resident woodsman, sent in the following photos, from a recent Alaskan expedition.
Writes Orion, “I built this beautiful house from driftwood that had washed up onto the beach.”
“This is me in front of my time machine, which I also built out of wood. I plan on using it to travel back to a time when people used to fight with swords.”
“With a little spare wood, and a lot of spare time, I put together this premium ship. Even the engine is made out of wood.”

The fact that you're actually reading this indicates that you've lent us your time, and have an interest in Whynatte. Thank you.

he just looks so natural there. it’s his homeland.
My Dad and I built an out house out of salvagebale planks from the old dilapidated cabin in the top picture with hand tools. Dillingham is a fishing harbor of about 2,500 people in Birstol Bay on the west coast of Alaska. We bought 9 acres, sight unseen last summer, and we were pleasantly surprised to find that the property is accessible from the beach and has beautiful mountian views when the clouds lift. The fishing off my beach is supurb. All 5 species of salmon through the Nushugak Bay and up the wood and Nushugak rivers to spawn. I plan on building a house there next summer when the ice breaks and the barges from Seattle are able to naviagate around the Allutian penisula.
It looks to me like you’ve already got yourself one hell of a house out there…
it really does look like he is in Alaska! wow, the sets are getting better and better over at whynatte Pictures studio.
when you build that house its party time in western alaska…
Isn’t it always party time in Western Alaska?
gotta love my brother, he brings three (is it three or are the two blue ones the same shirt?) whynatte shirts on a trip to his land in alaska that he had only previously seen before on a satellite picture
Being the spartan that I am, sister, I believe I only brought 2 t-shirts with me on my Alaska expedition. Jesse pretty much engrained the belief in my head of wood that the Whynatte shirts were as valuable as my retun ticket home.
