    Brooks range gear critique

    trade your nalgene for a seeker 3 lt rubber/silicone bottle that you can attach with two carabiners to your pack. You will save weight and those bags are as tough or tougher than nalgene bottle.

    new moose hunter needs advise

    I should note that I learned to hunt moose from Frank Billum who was the chief of the Ahtna Athabaskans and used to hunt moose the old way. He killed many of his moose with self made bows and arrows. He would dissect the environment after he saw where the bulls were cutting tracks, observe their...

    What's your Ulralight Optics Strategy? Just got the Maven 8x30 and loving them

    Believe it or not sometimes I run 10X25 Swarovski CL pockets and a Vortex 50 mm Razor spotter. It isn't bad for scouting. I have nice binos that I can go to and bigger spotters, but this combo is light and it isn't bad.

    AK caribou shelter

    Browning Glacier Extreme is about $600. Not Arctic Oven but it weighs 28lbs and you could put a small stove and stove jack in it. Arctic Ovens are north of 2K and worth it if you plan to do lots of hunts but if not you can pick up the Browning at SW. The Glacier Extreme was developed on Kodiak...

    Tent for Wrangells in August

    I have been up there more than seven times during September. I have been stormed in and have had many different things happen but generally the weather up there is better in that first week of September than during much of the earlier part of the season. I have gone in with other people but I...

    What to you is "WILDERNESS".......???

    Both of you can be technically correct. ANILCA allows those who pursue subsistence activities and live in subsistence designated rural communities and fill out the right use permits to hunt subsistence using NPS rules. You can also submit a 13.44 cultural and traditional use permit that has to...

    How many people are living in the wilderness?

    There are some that live the old way but not many. I do have friends that live this way but most have a dry cabin in town and then live out during part of the year. It gets tougher when people get older. Some like Heimo Korth are still guiding sheep clients in their 70s. Ed Stevenson was like that.

    pieces that are so good, you own two- even though you don't need to

    Ibex Loden Wool Jackets. I have three of them and would buy five more but when Ibex wool when into Chapter 11 they quit making them. Boiled Loden Austrian Wool made in the USA. They were never cheap. I have about 10 pairs of Killik Vital softshell pants. They are great for what I paid for them...

    Tent for Wrangells in August

    Old School but best school. Look for a Black Diamond Eldorado on Ebay or find it in overstock. You should be able to find it for less than 500. You can find carbon fiber replacement poles and skip the stakes to use rocks as tieouts. You are surrounded with rock everywhere you go. That cuts down...

    You ever seen an 80 "INCH PLUS" Moose Rack......???

    Like the giant rams on Centennial Ridge in Canada the biggest Alaska-Yukon moose off the market on the backside of the Kobuk Valley Sand Dunes National Monument. They have a super abundant diet that is souped up on the limestone rich food and algae from the creek's plants. It has a hot springs...

    AK Sheep, Population Observations

    I think that there are many parts that make a person a hunter. I have the gear and stuff to do the long range hunting but I really like getting close to the animal. However, to me, that is not the element of what makes a person a hunter(it is an aspect of that). I truly believe that a hunter...
