The big stretch after flying in

Starting the walk in



Hopes are high for a big sheep score



Kifaru High Camp with bikini frame LH lid with all extra straps cut off. Rifle in a side pocket, and waist belt has a couple of UL pockets. It worked out well, but under heavy load the frame dug into my back



Nice weather for the walk

Very Pleased with my home away from home. Cuben fiber duomid from MLD. I did have a bug bivy inside that was helpful, but not essential

congrats on a beautiful ram and the enjoyment of the Alaska alpine....

What a ram! My two brothers and I were the ones that Don mentioned. What a small world! Tough hunt, getting into this country was a long jaunt!

Thanks very much for your narrative. Hopefully somehow those pics get all straightened out and appear. There is nothing like sheep hunting.
