    Food list for 7 days?

    I just buy the pre cooked bacon. The stuff that is not even refrigerated at the grocery store. It's not quite as good as the real bacon but sure does hot the spot on a hunt. Sent from my moto g(7) optimo (XT1952DL) using Tapatalk

    Anybody use a design program?

    If you are looking for a mechanical item such as a stove or bino adapter ect. Fusion 360 is awesome. Free for at home use and small business. A ton of YouTube how to video's on how to use it. I've never tried it for tents or bags but now that I'm thinking about it I may need to try it. Sent...

    Food list for 7 days?

    I was born and raised in Minnesota, moved up to Alaska 8 yrs ago. That diet may not be for everyone and it is about learning what works for your body. I went on my first sheep hunt at about 2.3 lbs/day but have had time to get it dialed in. Trying it on a couple day training run is a great idea...

    Food list for 7 days?

    At the 1.5 lbs/day the 100 calories/oz is critical. I will admit I do bring a few foods that do not hit that but if it lacks that it must make up somewhere else such as protein. What works for me is to keep the snack portions smaller but have a bigger quantity 7-10 a day. I will bring a couple...

    Food list for 7 days?

    For a sheep hunt I am about 1.5 lbs per day and right around 3000 calories. Breakfast I run oatmeal or granola, and pre cooked bacon. I will put powdered milk in my granola then just add water when I'm ready to eat. During the day I mostly just snack. Trail mix, granola bars, to go peanut butter...

    Getting From Anchorage to Tok

    One kind of non conventional thought, pool your money and get a truck or van off Craigslist and then sell it when you are done. It would probably take some figuring out with your buddy but if you play your cards right you could probably come out about even in the end. It would be a risk but just...

    Alaska caribou for me and the wife

    I'm sure others will be more help on numbers and such but have hunted the North slope a number of times. The tundra up there is tough. If you are more in the mtns the hiking is much easier. The caribou numbers are not as they used to be and the hunting can be real hit or miss. I have seen over...

    Walking on Tundra Hussocks

    What I have done is just carry a toe shoes water shoe and strip down to my underwear when crossing deeper water. They are light and strap to the outside of the pack easy. I don't like putting wet waiters in my pack and they are bulky, that is the big reason I have opted to water shoes. Sent...

    Walking on Tundra Hussocks

    Staying dry is a challenge. I have used gaitors and my scarpa's and stayed mostly dry. 1 big issue with rubber boots or hip boots is ankle support. May work to get ankle braces but 5 miles out on that stuff would not be a fun spot to roll an ankle. Sent from my moto g(6) (XT1925DL) using Tapatalk

    Walking on Tundra Hussocks

    If there is a bunch of snow then yes, otherwise no. If you plan to do the 5 mile trek the easiest thing to do is just embrace the suck. It's slow and wet in a lot of spots making it a big mental game. I've done the 5 mile march roughly 10 times and haven't came up with an easier way other than...

    Anybody have success on the Dalton HWY this year??

    I live in AK and have been to the haul road a few times. A few pointers out there 1. The 5 mile march in the tundra is no joke! 2. The fog is also no joke. Have at very least a compass. It's flat enough that you could watch your dog run away for 3 days but when the fog rolls in you can't see 30...

    Review: lightest possible tripod.

    I know the product well. Like Ndbowhunter said it doesn't replace a traditional Tripod for front country, but when every ounce matters IMO it is a spot to cut some serious weight. Stability depends on what you use for legs and how tall the legs are. It does quite well with the provided legs or...
