Back in Fairbanks. Awesome trip all around. Saw caribou, grizzly, a white wolf, two monster magnum moose and snow geese. Pretty warm the entire time in the field. Only got below freezing two days. No bugs at all. Caribou moved on those two cold days but they were all on the other side of a impassable gorge/river. Alaska never disappoints as we still had a great time and got to see and experience alot. Will start posting some pics here over the next few days, add to the rolling gear list changes and list out some more lessons learned from gear, equipment and logistics back and forth to Alaska from the lower 48.

Bow saw.

Why not just take a full size one vice a Wyoming saw? Food for thought. Ive been taking a foldable pruning saw and a Wyoming saw the past two trips. Both times I could have used a larger saw. Last trip for beaver dam logs and logs blocking the creek. This time for campfire wood. Granted, you gotta have the wood to cut so NBR hunts probably a mute point.

Seek Outside Courthouse. This was the third trip with it and we loved it. 3 hunters and a stove very comfortably.
