    Looking for a unicorn

    I will agree with that there are no cheap, sound, and broke horses; but I think you can find one for less than 10k easy. If there are places around that board/train horses give them a jingle; they usually have a line on someone who is looking to get away from the boarding and/or feed bills...

    Haul Road

    I was up there last week. Fewer caribou than 2021; most seemed to be right where they were doing road construction (a little ways north of Galbraith Lake and occupying about 20 miles of road). We spent most of our time just South of Deadhorse. There were caribou up there, but it was hard to...

    Considering the 5 mile hike

    Did it opening day. I’m in better than average shape. 0/5 stars, would not do again. Glad I didn’t find one out there the pack out would’ve been an epic bastard

    Tent for haul road

    Planning archery, I’d be ok w the hike out of the corridor but don’t think my 13 yo would have fun with that type 2 fun (yet). Was looking at the Alpacaraft mule or caribou, thoughts? Im pretty sure I’m going to go SG Skyscraper. Unless you think I could get by w Kuiu Summit refuge and its...

    Tent for haul road

    Planning on hunting the haul road in early August. Want to get a lightweight tent, I’m between a hilleberg ballot 3 get and a kifaru sawtooth. I’m thinking the Hilleberg is probably the better tent for that specific hunt, but that the kifaru (w mosquito netting) may be more versatile overall...
