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

    I think people on forums like his, when they reflect on this question, just naturally run it through the filter of "hunting". There are many places we hunted 50 years ago that later became National Parks, but I tend to not even remember them now. Long ago I lived on (fifty mile long) Lake...

    How many people are living in the wilderness?

    A large inducement was the free land from The Homesteading Act. They required that you live there for a set amount of time to get the 160 acres. That program closed "roughly" 1974'ish. At least that was roughly the last you could stake you land and file your paperwork. Fifty years ago...

    DIY Caribou Alaska Transporter

    Your "paying" for someone else to do most of the hunt "FOR YOU". It is "Not" a do it yourself hunt. "IF" you were actually doing it yourself, you would save most of the $5,000.00
