"Ditch Porcupine" Is A Gift, Saved Us From Getting Skunked

We spent the weekend driving around Interior Alaska to do some hiking, fishing, shed hunting & wildlife photography. Mother Nature decided that we weren't going to succeed at most of those tasks, but at the very end of the trip, we ran into a valiant porcupine hanging out in the ditch.
In all seriousness, I love porcupines. Additionally, my wife made a great point after we ran filmed the bit with the porcupine in the ditch: There I something special about the moment when an animal allows you into its space. You can tell that is true, because whenever the critter is in frame you can hear us nerd out.
Sometimes you don't get to see a majestic caribou on a mountain top. Bears are elusive, as are lynx and wolves. Thankfully, when you've hiked yourself into exhaustion, a porcupine will roll into the ditch and allow you to get a little footage.
