Selections by Mattox Roesch

MATTOX ROESCH and his wife sold their house in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and moved to a 340-square-foot home in Unalakleet, Alaska, in an attempt to simplify their lives. They have since learned that simplification is not for the lazy: “It’s a lot of work to catch and process enough fish for a year,” he explains. In addition to being a stay-at-home dad to his one-year-old daughter, Ayuu, he passes the long winters by skijoring (cross-country skiing while harnessed to dogs) and dog sledding.
