My new bushy, old-school Communist beard has some practical advantages, one of which is extra facial coverage to protect from mosquitoes. On this particular trek — up Fireweed Mountain — they were on us the entire hike, even at 6,000+ feet, at the summit.
This is why Euro-American men and descendants have the larger numbers in Alaska. Such an unfair advantage. 😉
