    Vote for who has the best pack in 2023.

    Congrats on the buck! It appears to me your frame could be a bit taller or the heavy load has negated some of its height. It looks like the load lifter straps meet the shoulder straps towards the rear of your shoulders. Typically the preferred location would be near the collar bone. That...

    Hunting Black Bears on the Kenai Peninsula

    Looks like you got a lot of good advice. I’ll add a couple things. That time frame is the rut for bears. Expect to see some “chasing”. Boars will be on the move. Study closely for cubs if you spot a bear. Sows with cubs are illegal and sometimes the cubs are out of sight for periods of time...

    Vote for who has the best pack in 2023.

    An observation. The side pic loaded heavy caught my eye. Excessive belt slipping? Frame too short for you? Suspension not adjusted correctly? Some or all of the above? It appears the top of the frame is below your shoulders. Zero to negative load lift. For me personally, that would be a very...

    Alaska Goat Hunt Boots

    I certainly advocate for a much stiffer boot when you’re in the sheep and goat country of Alaska. It can depend on where and what time of year you’re going, to dial it in more. For most of my Alaska mountain hunts, as well as most of the year, I prefer the La Sportiva Nepal Evo GTX’s and have...

    Looking for info or guides for fishing the Kenai in Alaska

    https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/kenai-river-king-salmon-circling-the-drain.342186/unread I know long time local (as in they live right here year around) guides that have totally shut down their King fishing trips which used to be their bread and butter. There are other species and...

    Looking for info or guides for fishing the Kenai in Alaska

    Well…..I hate to be negative but it has really changed in Alaska as a whole but especially the KP since I first came here. I keep blaming it on the internet and marketing. I moved here pre-internet. The marketing and information available now is staggering. The Kenai was made famous by its King...

    Sheep hunting alone?

    Yes. Solo sheep hunts here in Alaska are fairly common.

    Looking for info or guides for fishing the Kenai in Alaska

    The proximity to Anchorage is the problem. It’s super crowded when the fish are in. Dipnetting opens up for those of us that are residents in July. The crowding in the Soldotna/ Kenai area exponentially increases. As a tourist I would be disenchanted with the crowds if I was envisioning a serene...

    Is there a reason why you would want to stay on the highway system? What turned you on to the Kenai?

    Alaska unit 13 caribou closure

    Make sheep once in a lifetime for non-residents like just about every other state in the union.

    Alaska unit 13 caribou closure

    It’s time to severely restrict non-resident guides and non-resident hunters in this state. It’s been a free for all for too long. Guides in Alaska should have to be a resident and non-resident hunters should have a strictly limited and expensive draw system for all species. With the invention of...

    Looking for info or guides for fishing the Kenai in Alaska

    The upper river for rainbows and dollies? The Kings are gone in the lower river thanks to over fishing (guides). When the Reds are in, it is an absolute zoo with people. Very overcrowded! They will be probably be gone soon enough also. Alaska is a big place. There are a lot more areas in the...

    Ideal magnification for Dall sheep hunting

    Only if there were still rams like that in that country………..we can only wish.

    Does cordura suck?

    No, it does not. Something rarely mentioned about “waterproof” material, is that whatever keeps water out, also keeps water in. Cordura can breathe. Some will say that water will never get in. All I can say, is good luck with that. For reference, I live and hunt in Alaska. It gets a little wet...

    Looking for info or guides for fishing the Kenai in Alaska

    Why do you want to fish the Kenai? If you are going to spend the time and money to come up to Alaska and fish, there are a lot better places to go.

    Are any "waterproof" boots/hikers truly waterproof?

    The right boot construction and leather treatment can minimize what “work” the membrane has to do. I have 2 pairs of boots that have been through the worst conditions Alaska can dole out for many years and still totally waterproof. Many, many “flexes” on them. Proprietary leather/synthetic...
