    Dalton Hwy specific question

    Do you mean like down the road back to your truck? I usually stop if I see a guy walking and see if he needs a ride if there isn't a truck in view, I don't think I've ever had someone not stop to talk if I was hiking down the road, but I usually go in early august since it seems a little calmer...

    Hoping to get some suggestions on the type/specs on what kind of pedal bike to buy for hunting?

    I have a giant talon 29 and it's been great, nice and light and gets me where I need to go. Not many places I go that hiking isn't a better option, but on power line trails and the like it's sure nice to chew up miles quickly.

    Deschutes Sheep Hunt

    Haven't been there in years, but I remember the lower river used to have certain days you were allowed to run a jet boat. I'd look into that and see if it is still the same. I have hiked in many times from the mouth for steelhead fishing. It only took once hiking in and then having a guide boat...

    Humbled

    Couple years ago I was hunting caribou with my daughter, had a bull come over an embankment at about 40 feet from us. Not sure why I did it but in the process of calming myself down for the shot and the 40 foot distance stuck in my head, i started counting my pins 10, 20, 30, 40, set, release...

    Camp Location

    I don't like camping in the drainage I plan to hunt, so backside and down from ridge would be where I would be. I don't see the issue being close to water but I do have a few spots that I have to fill up before I hike back to camp for the evening because my spot dictates that.

    Kings camo xkg paramount rain jacket

    I received my order yesterday, not disappointed. Xl pants L jacket, 6'4 200lbs and while I prefer my jackets to be LT, this fits pretty well and room to put pants over whatever I am wearing at the time.

    Management vs. Trades and Labor questions

    no idea how the change would work for you, but I would check your union contract to make sure you don't affect your time in by making the switch. Not sure it applies to you, but it's worth looking into.

    Haul Road gear exchange?

    I met some guys a year or two ago who had a bunch of chairs, fuel, and whatnot they bought and didn't intend on taking home, I didn't need them but figured taking them was better than having them thrown into the firepit or just left as garbage which unfortunately happens more than it should. I...

    1st alaskan black bear hunt.

    basically what was said above. glass the hillsides and you'll see bears. Lots of creeks and such so make sure you are familar with your area and have good mapping, there isn't much service in most areas. I drove down Monday for a peek and saw several bears.

    2 stroke dirt bike for older rider?

    I had a CR 500 that I put a weighted flywheel and a few other simple mods that made it a great trail bike that still had the 500 powerband and all the fun that entailed. Lots of options out there for two strokes to be more trail friendly but you do miss putting a paddle tire on and heading to...

    Solo Campfire

    I enjoy having a fire, either in the stove or just a small fire before bed reflecting on the day and making a plan for the next day. Depends on where I am set up and what the plan is, if I am gonna be in an area for a few days I'll wait to have a fire until I get the lay of the land. Never been...

    I haven't checked but I would guess the metal there may be thinner or punched out like that to cook/boil on?
