    Kodiak Alpine Lakes

    Call the flight service with a map in front of you, explain where it is and they will tell you yes or no as far accessibility and maybe make suggestions for nearby lakes. Seems like an odd way to go about it, but it has worked for me in the past.

    Pack comfort

    It should be "comfortable", meaning it shouldn't be sagging pulling you backwards, the belt should not have to be so tight its cutting off circulation to not slip, the belt or lumbar pad should not be bruising or wearing holes in your skin. It took me a while to find a pack that doesn't do any...

    Covid-19 Alaska

    As of an hour ago mandatory re-testing in KOTZ is not true as long as you tested in AK within 48hrs. A buddy who tested in Anchorage yesterday just landed in Kotz, signed his declaration form, showed his negative results and went on his way.
