    Puffy pants?

    I was on the slope last year last week of August with BRA, take your puffy pants. You have generous weight limits and the wind can get cold. We had the mercury drop into the low 20's high teens one night and the wind howled at 50 mph. You'll wish you took them if you don't.

    Caribou Fly in Hunt

    You can do the north slope if you'd like. Lots of grayling fishing up there, can be feast or famine on caribou. Alot of migration depends on weather. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

    Tent for BRA

    End of August, and you get some warm days, you will have mosquitos by the hordes. Take a bear fence, it will give you peace of mind while you hunt and while you sleep. They weren't an issue, but they were kind enough to swing by and check on us every few days ;) . BRA will likely fly you onto...

    Footwear for Caribou

    We lived in ankle fit, hip waders last year up on the slope. 1 of our guys wore Zamberlans and gaiters and was ok, except downstream crossings, where he did catch a soaker or two. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

    Sleeping bag for First Western Trip

    Here is a really good bag we took to the North Slope with us last fall. It was great, really warm. We had an evening where the temps dropped from 70 degrees to 19 degrees in 5 hours. Plus a sustained 40 mph blow with gusts upward of 55mph range. We were just fine and warm. Solid bags, not light...

    Getting From Anchorage to Tok

    I'll be damned, they don't, thought they did. Doesn't 40 mile air run back and forth from Fairbanks? If they do, that could be an option and fly right into Fairbanks and go from there?? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

    Getting From Anchorage to Tok

    What about contacting Wright Air, and round trip them, should be about 300 bucks is all. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

    Packing out caribou

    Check the regs of the gmu you are hunting, some will allow boneless in the field, others will require to be on the bone until it comes out of the field. 3 guys 1 mature bull, if you aren't hiking with too much gear, could get it in one trip. It'll be heavy but doable. My stepdaughter and I...

    Walking on Tundra Hussocks

    This was pretty much the entire groups sentiment after 10 days in it. If you can find gravel bars to traverse, they are golden. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

    Walking on Tundra Hussocks

    Uh, I don't think so. I'd be afraid of getting twisted up, a knee or an ankle. Figure 1 hr of walking per mile in that stuff, give of take a little all depending. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

    GPS/ onx

    Take a GPS and a compass with a map ofbthe area. You may need to get out further from camp to find animals. Basic backcountry 101, you never go without having both in your kit. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

    Northwest Alaska Backcountry Outfitters

    The weather up that way can change in a hurry, and after having done the trip into 26A this past August. I think I'd want the security of having my own gear and KNOWING it will perform like it should. We had a weather change from 72 degrees, down to 22 degrees and a sustained 40mph wind with...
