Fairly Thorough Complete Alaska Pack List

also a 5 lb stove and 3 lb of fuel? I'd just take a jetboil.
It would make a lot of room for other stuff including food.
Did you have a cooking pot or pan on the list?

With 2 tripods and a bipod, you’ll at least be very steady as you starve to death. You might be able to get your pilot to drop off more food if he comes to the area for other reasons, like to pick up another hunter’s moose.

I can’t tell how many calories your food list provides., High fat foods can deliver around 2500 Cal per pound, which is a reasonable amount per day for light outdoor activity. Heavy exertion or cold temps will require more. Peanut butter is high in fat and calories and can be a good supplement. Remember that extraction or resupply may be delayed for days depending on weather and other factors.

I’d leave my handgun at home, lose one of the tripods, and get in 5 pounds of high fat, calorie dense trail mix. We always take a bear fence but so far have had conditions that precluded its use on 2 of 3 hunts.

I agree with the above posters about the need for a cut resistant glove for the off hand. Be very deliberate in your actions to avoid injury. An injury on a solo backcountry trip could be very dangerous.

Have to admit, your opening line made me chuckle. I've been doing this for about 15 years (backcountry solo) so the food thing is not new to me. I appreciate your feedback however. I do have high fat foods in there that are not itemized.

As far as the cut resistant glove, I have some that came with my camp stove for the edges of the sheet metal. Think that would suffice?

The 5lb stove is my tent stove and the 3lb of fuel is a purposeful over estimate for my "jetboil" stove which weighs an ounce. Yes I have a titanium cup for that. Also I have babywipes in my toiletries kit.
