    As a Canadian, casually just calling a Walmart and asking them if they sell guns has got to be one of the most American things I have ever seen.
    Also, not counting military museums, that is probably the most amount of guns I've ever seen in one place at the same time.

      I was camping with family in Northern Idaho when I was 10 or 12 and I came around a hill at high speed on my bike. I almost ran face first into this giant moose and near shit myself. Luckily there was a small bike path to my right that I could slowly back away into. Could’ve died at any moment.
      When I lived in Idaho still moose shut down school all the time. Like we’re talking lockdowns because a certain megafauna decided to set up shop in the playground. I figure those of us who live in the North have a healthy respect for those murder machines.

It's pretty much guaranteed that there are going to be plenty of gun and outdoor stores that service the MANY hunters that live and travel through Alaska. It isn't uncommon for hunters to effectively rent guns by buying them when they arrive and selling them back before they leave, because traveling with firearms can be a pain whether it is on a plane or trying to import through Canada by road.
      Then again, as a European, you should be aware that Switzerland has the highest rate of gun ownership in the world. Many Swiss citizens even keep their military service rifles after they leave their mandatory service period.

Because contrary to the US the swiss take gun safety serious and make the owner of a firearm responsible for what happens to it. Which means that for most of the many weapons in Switzerland they are locked in a safe or stored on a gun range - i.e. out of view of the general public. Just like any other european country your best bet to see a gun in Switzerland would be to find a cop.

      I think that's just for this season, they will go back to cards for future seasons I reckon (If both/all teams don't have the same pool of cards of course). Cards are actually more reliable and flexible since you can "use" them at any time. For the app you potentially have to worry about internet access, power etc. Things you might not always have, especially in more rural places. For this season, I imagine they don't go too far into the wilderness and stay pretty close to urban centres, so that's no problem. Also, you can't do cool "use this card to do X" challenges without them. I only remember one of those, but still.

    There's a podcast I listen to. National Park After Dark, it's called. Two friends take turns teaching each other about real life horror stories set in national parks around the world. Deaths, disappearances, encounters with various Bigfoot-type Cryptids... The two hosts have both lived their entire lives hiking and camping in places like Colorado, New Hampshire, and Washington State. You know, places that ostensibly have moose, and yet both of them could count their combined moose sightings on one hand. They often joke on the podcast that moose aren't real, they're actually just some grand conspiracy, and enough listeners wrote in expressing their skepticism that the podcast made "moose aren't real" T-shirts. Based on my experiences camping around Yellowstone, Washington, and other moose areas -including five weeks around Alaska- and my persistent bad luck seeing the animals, I absolutely bought one of those shirts.
    All that to say, I got a good laugh out of team Sam's struggle to find that damn moose, especially in the freaking moose exhibits at the zoo. Though I am disappointed to see the zoo is complicit in the conspiracy. Out of fairness for Ben and Adam, I have to ask: are you really sure that wasn't a reindeer or some other similar animal playing its part in the cover-up??
    In all seriousness though, I absolutely loved my one trip to Alaska, so much so that I'm going back in a couple months, hopefully only my first of two trips up there in 2024. I really enjoyed these two episodes of the show, and I'm excited to see where else you'll take us on this wild journey this season!
