We carried a platypus gravity 2 liter water filter. Worked great for 4 guys. Kept two collapsible water jugs. One for dirty water from the creek/ditch and one for clean. 40 mile dropped us 100 yards from water.
We went opening weekend 2017 and had a great trip. We went 4 for 4 on nice caribou. They dropped us in a great spot and had caribou walking through camp.
Firehole we make the trip out from Ga also. Pulling a trailer always adds another element to the adventure. You handled it well. Can only get better next year.
Exactly what Larry said. Watch them, they will travel a route. Then pick an ambush point. These guys were 70 yards from camp, care less that we were there.
We had the luxury of time so we drove to Tok from Georgia. 40 mile air has a mail flight that come in from a few major airports once or twice a week I believe. You can catch a flight with them to Tok.
