AK Packer Opportunities

[Noah_DiBiase]

Hey,

I am a senior living in southern Maine, when I graduate this summer I plan to take a gap year and thru-hike the Appalachian Trail, after which I would love to do a stint as a packer in AK, preferably in the fall. I have some hunting experience, but very little, however, I do have decent outdoor experience and am willing to work hard and learn fast.

That said, does anybody here have any suggestions about what Guides/Outfitters I should get in contact with? I'm looking for someone of good character and reputation to work for.

I was also wondering how feasible my plan is. Are guides looking for young people like me for grunt work? My Dad did something similar back in the day, but I'm not sure if the scene has changed.

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated as well.

Thanks,
Noah

AK is a strong goal, but don't turn your back on opportunities to work in other states too. I don't know where to start looking but I'd add most of the western states to your search.
