I have been searching are reading like crazy and I am trying not to repeat questions already here. I am very familiar with the terrain and environment but I have not set foot on that specific island. I have a cabin just across the strait, fish around the island and have gone on hurts on Prince of Wales island. I have a new fairly stout boat I intend to take over and pack gear in from the beach. Planes are too unreliable during October and expensive so thats out for now. There is a good chance I will be on POW for all of October and may be available to assist the early hunters if needed with some logistics.
My first and maybe the most important question is regarding shelter. As you know it will be 50 degrees and raining sideways most days on average so a place to dry out ourselves and gear is important. I know it could be hot and dusty as well but that would be an exception. I can't imagine packing a wall tent up from the beach and I cant imagine sleeping in a two person backpack tent either. If that is what needs to be done thats what we will do but is there a compromise?
Thanks for any and all suggestions.
