Backcountry tent?

I stumbled into Big Sky International tents a few years ago because I needed the extra length and I wanted a free standing. They have been great in all weather in Alaska. I have no affiliation with the company.

DIY Southeast Alaska Black Bear Hunt

OP, did you figure out your tags? You can move around with a 17' boat, but you have to be picky with the area, weather, and fuel. I have done it around Petersburg, Wrangell, and south of Haines. The Juneau area is out of the way, and the bears are a little bigger south of Juneau. For many...

7mm-08 Rem success on big game

7mm-08 is my favorite round, and great for anyone hunting in Alaska with a solid bullet. I've only shot copper (140ttsx or 139 GMX, CX). From a suppressed 24" barrel, factory 139 CX is 2885. It has taken nearly everything in Alaska: deer, sheep, bears, bull moose, and caribou. Most critters...
