    Alaska Should Transplant Sheep Again?

    I agree, I cannot name a thing they've accomplished. They say they have more money than they've ever had, but I don't see that being spent anywhere other than the loads of YETI branded products they buy for their banquets. Pretty sad.

    Ski touring / AT gear

    I've have no complaints with my dynafit radical pro boots this season, I am fairly new to touring aswell but I have no need to look for anything else.

    Alaska Should Transplant Sheep Again?

    I feel like supplying mineral to sheep struggling in the winter is one of the few ways we could actually make a difference. You could argue that it would concentrate sheep so they'd be more susceptible to predation and disease but doing nothing obviously isn't working either. I agree its not...

    Alaska Should Transplant Sheep Again?

    The way it's been explained to me is that WSF is willing to do or fund about anything to help recover sheep populations in the state. The problem is that it's not up to WSF, it's up to ADFG to come up with the plan. WSF can not come up with a plan for ADFG to use to help sheep due so some state...

    Chugach sheep hunt 24

    If you're in the market for micro spikes I'd recommend the Grivel explorers over the more common katoolas. The grivel spikes are longer and more aggressive than the katoolas and they fit better on boots for me. I agree with Ben on micro spikes vs crampons. I find that usually crampons are...

    7 PRC for costal brown bears?

    Will a 7PRC kill a brown bear? Yes. If you're tracking a wounded brown bear are you going to wish you you had a .375H&H instead? I definitely would be. I've seen brown bears killed with .280 ackleys, 30-06s, 7mms, and all the regular big boys. Even with 375s you can't count on one shot kills...

    Big Sky International Chinook experience?

    I've been eyeing up this tent for backpack hunts here in Alaska. Looks like a cross between a kuiu storm star and a hilleberg allak or soulo but much lighter. Comes in a 2p and a 1p+. I think it's a US company which is cool. Anyone have any first hand knowledge of these tents...

    Best ACTUALLY waterproof gear?

    I hunt very often in Pvc rain gear, both the grundens Neptune and the helly Hansen impertech. I love wearing rubber jackets here in Alaska on extended hunts. The one think I hate about them is the inner material, it's a thin neoprene type fabric. It absorbs the moisture from your sweat and wicks...

    New Stone Glacier gear??

    I've heard rumors of some new rain gear for very rainy places. More waterproof less breathable.

    Your "must haves" in your sheep pack for 10-12 days in

    Hotsauce, a freeze dried meal's best friend. Earbuds, long nights or passing time in bad weather, using your phone speaker will drain battery faster. Tea bags and Tang, if your not drinking hot tang your missing out.

    Stone Glacier SQ2 Alpine Gaiter Review

    I went from stone glacier to peax and the boot strap broke after 2 weeks of sheep hunting. Otherwise they did great. Good fit and waterproofing. The sharp shale that I hunt in seems to destroy about every gaiter I've tried. I'm pretty interested in the t&k gaiter with the stainless cable...

    How long does a repackaged Dehydrated meal last in a ziplock

    I've dumped peak and mtn house in quart ziplocks without an oxogen absorber and eaten them a year after without any complaints. Whenever I bring the ziplock packaged meals on a hunt I always bring at least one original bag that I reuse for the zip locked meals and ramen noodles. Works great for...

    2023: Alaska Gear Junkie Review

    I also got to use the new Barneys pack this year. Definitely no need for the rain cover, the fabric doesn't seems to soak up any water. As water resistant as it is there is one downside, when you put something damp inside the pockets the moisture stays and almost seems to condensate. In the main...

    Best tent for Alaska sheep hunt

    How's the niak do with condensation? I used a akto for a few kodiak hunts and I thought the condensation was horrendous, I rememberer waking up with water droplets above me like a hundred bats in a cave. Looks like they make all bug mesh inner that would help but their sold out, wonder if they...

    Easy Razco Chest Holster modification!

    Good deal! It's not as good as a kenai but this way I didn't need to get both. Easy enough to throw the extra webbing in the pack if you ever want to wear it without the binos too.

    Sheep Packing List

    I love the Chugach! 13 or 14 if you don't mind? Good luck, pickins are starting to get slim out there sadly.
