    Need bag help for Alaska goat hunt

    I have the zpack bag and it’s a hybrid between a quilt and sleeping bag. I ordered the extra fill to make it a -10 below bag. Super light weight and perfect for Alaska. I have used it on the brooks range, Kodiak, afognak, Chugiak, and float hunting among other things. Packs up small. Make sure...

    ice ax and crampons

    I am a pole guy. I absolutely have to have them. When I was on a Kodiak goat hunt one time I brought some small crampons and my buddy brought an ice axe. Not even one day into the hunt we were both jealous of each other’s items. When I got home I bought an ice axe and tried to use it on the...

    ice ax and crampons

    I have used the black diamond whippet for the last couple years when on Kodiak. It’s a perfect hybrid of both a pole and ice axe. Just gives you that little extra bit of saftey. Not as stout as a solid ice axe but it’s pretty nice.

    Wife’s Afognak brown bear 2017

    No big story with the bear spray. Believe it or not a day after spraying it the bears actually are attracted to it. We practiced so my wife would know how to use it. A couple days later where we sprayed it the ground was all tore up and the frost looked like a bear had licked all the rocks. He...

    Wife’s Afognak brown bear 2017

    Afognak Hunt 2017 Every year I make my strategic selections for draw hunts. I am fortunate enough to have a wife who supports my passion which doubles our chances for what you might want to call the hunters lottery. Lucky for me my wife has the luck of the draw(20 mile any bull 2 years ago and...

    tent for alaska caribou hunt with wife

    I have a hilleburg nammaj GT and have used it with my wife on the brooks many times and find it to be a perfect tent for room, weight, gear storage, cooking, and hang out space for those bad weather days(you will have a couple of them). It's not a stand up inside tent but rest assured when the...

    Copper bison success

    I drew this tag about four years ago and was able to harvest an old bull below high water mark. We went in earlier this year and were unsuccessful. So we bit the bullet and bought the AHTNA pass and flew in. Then come to find out the area we were in was not on AHTNA land. It was just a good...

    Copper bison success

    There doesn't seem to be a bison page so I thought I would post here. On our second try at bison on the copper my wife was able to harvest a nice cow. Had two bulls picked out but just could not relocate them. Got to within 100 yards of 10 cows and picked out the oldest and biggest bodied one we...

    I drew a homer cow tag but my wife drew afognak brown bear. She has been super lucky. In the last three years she has drawn an any bull tag for 20 mile/portage, copper center bison ,and now an afognak brown bear tag. I love her. Heading out on march 11th for the bison. Wish is luck.

    Any Pulk Pullers Here?

    I ordered two sheets from grainger here in anchorage. We are flying in so size is an issue and I would like to roll it up to carry around until I have to use them. I think they will be great on the tundra also. I used one like this to haul a bear hide a mile or so on afognak last year that we...

    Any Pulk Pullers Here?

    I used 24 x 48 inch UHMW 1/16th inch thick. I think 1/32 would be a little better to roll up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Any Pulk Pullers Here?

    I have been working on a couple pulks for my wife's copper river bison tag next month. I think they should be light and roll up to fit in our back packs. They are four feet long by 16 inch wide with 4 inch sides. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
