Unimak Island spring hunt - uncompahgre vs superdown (or other) for insulating layer?
Thanks kodiakfly - exactly the sort of input I was looking for (and kinda what I figured). I'll leave the down at home. Appreciate it! -
Unimak Island spring hunt - uncompahgre vs superdown (or other) for insulating layer?
Steve - totally sorry if I offended - didn't mean to come off that way at all (tone never seems to come across right in text). Mostly what I was getting at is that I hadn't tested out my Yukon raingear in Unimak style weather, and I haven't had the best luck with lesser breathables in Kodiak... -
Unimak Island spring hunt - uncompahgre vs superdown (or other) for insulating layer?
You say you've been out in some terrible weather in Alaska, but you didn't mention where, or when it was the last time you were down by Cold Bay or the Aleutians in that Yukon Gear. Alaska's a big place, with widely varying climates. Over my last 34 years up hear I've been around a bit, too... -

TSA stole my trophy!!!
Sons o' b&#$#es broke the guides of one of my fishing rods between Anchorage and Prudhoe Bay last year when they yanked it out of the travel tube it was in. Wasn't worth all the paperwork and phone calls and hoops you have to jump through to file a successful claim to get reimbursed. I ate...- MatSuDano

I'll bring it. Sport the Yukon when I'm moving, throw the Helly over the top when I'm parked. Think I'll pick up a Firstlite puffy to keep me toasty under all that. Thanks guys -

How do you afford it?
Didn't mention that I work out of town at a remote site, and am only home for half the year. Definitely blessed to call Alaska home, though. And even more blessed that my children get to grow up in the last frontier. -
How do you afford it?
$$$ are the easy part. You can save your money. Time is what gets me these days, with a 2 year old and a 3 year old, there is never any time. I get one hunt a year, if I can swing it with my work schedule. This year I'm lucky enough to be doing a walk-in sheep hunt. Next year's already... -
Unimak Island spring hunt - uncompahgre vs superdown (or other) for insulating layer?
As a former resident of Adak island and having spent time in Cold Bay, all I can say is you will enjoy good polyester based fleece and top shelf rain gear. It's all going to get wet at some point. Soaked through typically. For the Aleutians and AK Penn weather gear consider how it will work... -
Unimak Island spring hunt - uncompahgre vs superdown (or other) for insulating layer?
Hey folks - New to this forum, but got sucked in the last couple days reading everyone's firsthand input on all the fancy new gear out there. Great site - good to see (mostly) unbiased opinions. Probably beating a dead horse here, but I'm headed to Unimak Island this spring for a 10-14 day...
