Can You Handle It All, Alaska Chick?

There are meeting to prepare for, meetings scheduled to attend. Clients and prospective clients to stay in contact with and speak with, answer questions for. Pioneer Outfitters is located in a fly-in area deep in the Wrangel Mountains. "Weather Permitting" is a law and force of nature (no pun intended!) that is part of our lives, everyday.

The day to day to-do list is long, not always complicated, but varied to run a business or to get to work and do the job, essential for the life each of us has chosen to live.

Deadlines, product launches, unexpected honors and opportunities, employee issues and employer demands. These are moments of each day.

There are children to care for, families to feed, loved ones to enjoy and care for. The laundry needs to be done and the dishes need to be washed and put away. Groceries and shoes need to be bought the car needs new tires.

Life happens.

The power goes out, the phones don’t work. The bathroom has flooded, a slip on the ice, a fall and a trip to the hospital for a broken wrist. Your child is terribly ill. The wind last night topped a tree right onto the corral that holds your horses and broke the rails.

Do you shake your fist at the sky, at fates, at God? Do you ask, “Why me?”

“Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans.” John Lennon

I am, Alaska Chick.

“As you look, really look, and find no words; feeling both, your heart healing and filling to an inner bursting point and feeling that your soul has been laid open to the breeze and wind like a raw wound. This takes you beyond the physical, past the mental; this is the spiritual element. This is Chisana.”

My name is Amber-Lee Dibble and I am the Manager at Pioneer Outfitters. We are located in the Wrangell St. Elias National Park & Preserve, our nation’s largest, most unexplored, unexploited and untouched National Park.

I am Mom, the Manager and the lead Guide of the Extreme Pro Team Guides. Born a Capricorn 1, Week of the Ruler, on the Day of The Indomitable One.

Pioneer Outfitters has been taking people into the wilderness of Alaska on horseback for Spiritual, Pleasure, Gold Panning, Glacier Exploring and Historic Trail Pack Trips, as well as Big Game Hunting and Survival & Guide Training since 1924. We, our family and our horses have always lived here year-round. As we make our life, we make our “living.”
