    Crispi Highland Pro boot

    I bit the expensive and ugly bullet and bought a pair for an upcoming caribou hunt. I’ve done a few hikes breaking them in and tromping through any water I come across, and I’m impressed. They are really well made, fit me well, and the boa system is fast and easy. The knee high waterproofing is...

    Alaska vacation planning

    Now some of you are making me think we should skip the long drive to Valdez and spend more time around anchorage and down to Homer. Hmmmmm… might look into changing the plans a bit. Thanks y’all.

    Alaska vacation planning

    Thanks @cod007 ! Good info. We have a pretty epic itinerary shaping up in the Kenai that includes a day on a halibut and salmon charter out of Homer and still allows a few days free to wander or chill etc. We could scrap the plan to go out to Valdez but seems pretty cool too and the ferry ride...

    Alaska vacation planning

    Found a site called Turo where you rent cars from the owner(kinda like Airbnb for cars). Was able to reserve a nicely set up Tacoma for half the price of the econo car from a rental agency. Next up is narrowing down the itinerary. Having second thoughts about going to Denali during prime...

    Gear and meat care questions

    A buddy and I are doing a Kotz drop caribou hunt this fall, end of Aug-early Sept. First caribou hunt for both of us. We keep seeing all different camping set ups from wooded areas to barren wet tundra so we have no idea where we'll end up. We're working through our gear prep/planning and have a...

    Alaska vacation planning

    I'm heading to AK for a Kotz caribou hunt at the end of August and my wife's schedule just opened up so that we can do a vacation up there before the hunt. We'll have 10-14 days available from approx Aug 14-28. I was up there with friends once 15 years ago before we were married and saw Seward...

    Boats

    There’s definitely a Covid premium on boat prices right now. But even before that you wouldn’t be able to justify the price of a boat by the actual sticker price. You have to look at these kind of things by how much enjoyment you get out of them... Just like hunting and the meat we harvest on a...

    Any other pilots?

    Got my PPL last year and now working on my Instrument. I’m hooked and shopping for a plane that I can travel to adventures with. Not looking to land in the bush yet but planning to fly those trips that I’ve been driving days to get to.

    Overlanding Rig for Hunting?

    Nice rig OP! I have a 2020 Tacoma OR that I set up for adventures, travel and hunting. I went back and forth on RTT and decided against in the end. Would be curious what you think after using a while. You probably saved a nice chunk of money buying it set up rather than doing it yourself. You...

    Thanks again everyone, glad you're digging it! @fmyth Yeah that def crossed my mind, but since it's not commercialized and sends traffic to them I gave it a go. Also, I shared it with them and they like it.
