Dalton Highway Hunt Rent

[akhunter3]

We will be renting a vehicle and parking on the Dalton, hiking in 5+ miles for about a week. How safe will the vehicle be left tgere for a week?

Please make sure to practice walking in a bounce-house filled with a variety of different size balls, rocks, etc. with a heavy pack on...this is easily one of the nastiest walks out there

The guy I went with last fall thought he was in good shape. To make a long frustrating story short, he quit on himself and me and I ended up packing his caribou out 5.5 miles. Be honest with yourself on your abilities so you don’t do what he did

Have you ever walked 5+ miles across the tundra with a week worth of gear and food?

I can't say I have even walked in Tundra. I expect it to be difficult and I am preparing as best I can for it. It is a hunt I have always wanted to do but, until now, I couldn't afford it. Any advice from those that have done it before me, is greatly appreciated.
