The proprietor is, like his shop, peculiar and sweet. We were actually in search of Shabbat candles when the proprietor of the adjoining gallery ushered us into Wild About Denali. We asked, dubiously, if he had candles; he said he only had one, a birch maybe, in his van, to which he led us. After rummaging around for some time, he emerged empty-handed and deeply apologetic. "I can't find it," he said. "But it's not hard to make your own!" He began to launch into instructions on how to make your own candle. We interrupted, explaining that we didn't have time, we needed it for tonight (it was about 6:30pm at that point, and while sunset wasn't until after 11, we still didn't have time to master a new handicraft in time for Shabbat). His eyes lit up. "Oh! Any candles will do?" We nodded. "Ach, you ladies are killing me! I was trying to make a memory here! I was looking for my nice birch candle! If it doesn't need to be fancy, I have some." And again, he disappeared into the van for some time, emerging triumphantly after a while holding two perfect votive candles. What. A. Mensch. He didn't charge us for the candles, but we did buy some delicious peanut brittle. 5/5. And a memory was made.

They throw open the doors, put out the magic trunks of goodies, and voila! It's your high school theater closet in all it's glory-- all for SALE! It was so much fun to rifle though all the vintage clothing that is so rarely seen in Alaska. They have some LEGIT stuff that I haven't seen in EONS... fabrics and patterns that I wore in the 70's and 80's... it was mind blowing. They even had stuff from the 50's and 60's. Super cool stuff, all reasonably priced. I wish Anchorage had a shop like this.

Items include: books, jewelry, handcrafted plates/pottery, fur mittens/moccasins, wall art, postcards and figurines of all shapes and sizes. Magnets, ornaments and other small items were also here. Staff were very friendly and helped us pick out some items. Prices were variable depending on what you were looking for. Definitely worth stopping by.

Earlier, on a hike at Byers Lake, the guide talked about Devil's Club being used medicinally for things like mosquito bites. I asked around and some locals said that Silverbear Sundries is the place to get Devil's Club balm. Not in Talkeetna? They mail it to you! I got the Mountain Mamma Balm that does NOT have hemp in it and smells great. There are two Pokemon Go pokestops within reach of this store, so stay a while. There are two gyms around the corner, too.

I previously had been an avid fan of Talkeetna Girl Soaps until I discovered Silverbear Manly Soaps. I have extremely sensitive, dry skin prone to allergic reactions, bumps, and a number of other issues.
