    Arctic Air DIY Caribou Hunt Kotzebue in depth review with map

    Some people live in the area. Also not good practice to post specific hunting locations on a public hunting forum. That’s how spots get blown up.

    Is it possible this was in reference to post #24? The question you asked if op was sure the area hunting in was open. That question is a good question for a pm.

    if you're using Nalgene Cantene's- be careful

    I use one in winter time. Fill it about halfway and loop it on to my bibs under my parka. I like it since I can add snow to it and body heat will melt the snow. Also the wide mouth is good for adding snow. I will definitely be watching for leaks. Anybody have a good way to keep water wet in...

    Who Scouts with a Dog?

    That’s good advice on watching out for porcupines. My dog seems to find every one. She must be learning some, because the last porky she found she only ended up with half a dozen quills in the muzzle.

Tipped kayaks, torrential rain, clouds of mosquitoes, and a lost croc. Nephew didn’t bat an eye at anything until he lost his croc. When we got close to the take...

    Hot tent camping in -30°c/-22°F

    A cot makes a big difference if you keep the stove lit. It lets the warm air circulate underneath you. A good pad underneath is essential too. Stoking the fire every few hours is an option too. In my experience I will wake up from the cold and then build the fire back up to get it warm again...

    Hot Tent Camping With Kids

    We teach/taught our young kids “hot” with a hot cup of coffee or tea. Let them touch the hot mug (for a short period of time) and say “hot.” Then when you are by the wood stove you can tell them “hot” and they know to stay away. You still have to stay extremely vigilant, but this deters them...

    Why park at fuel/gas pumps?

    As a young driver I got an earful for using a diesel pump when there were 6 other pumps with regular. I had never considered what other fuel was at the pump besides the one that I needed.

    Are you considering the manufacturing process, shipping, marketing, and display of an e-bike when you make that statement?

    AK Sheep BOG Comments due Oct 13

    The way I understand it is subsistence hunts in Alaska will always trump “non subsistence” or sport hunts. I am curious on ways to proactively help sheep populations. I hear predator control would help. I think it could, but the western brooks is a huge area with difficult access. There are...
