Title: Re: Changes with Red Lake Outfitters
Post by Marten on Feb 4th, 2020 at 2:21am
This Red Lake thing is such a mess and down here we have no way of keeping up. As for Albert and Kelly at Goldseekers, they  were once the go-to outfitter in Red Lake. When Albert started working the mine he started dropping the ball when it came to his outfitting business. Now that his children are older they are back in the outfitting business and will probably do what he used to be known for, good dealings with paddlers.

It was like Albert handed Harlan the customers on a platter, now Harlan has handed them back. Chukuni only bought the store, not Red Lake Outfitting. He is going to do some outfitting but wants to work into it.

Harlan had a knack for combing the rule book for gray areas and pursuing them if it worked for his business. He fought aggressively on a national level in an attempt to be able to access his Olive Lake cabin with a snowmobile. It is interesting that snowmobiling is not allowed in WCPP except with some exceptions but that was a big thing in the haters video. Harlan would do a lot of things in his videos to upset some people. Where he built his fires was no accident and upset some people as he was promoting something unsafe but not against park rules. Claire has always been a protector of WCPP and this caused a lot of friction with Harlan as he pushed what he could legally do because there was not a specific rule against it.

Harlan was getting out before he made the ranting videos so I wish that he had just packed up and not left such an uproar in Red Lake.
