A group of 4 of us are finalizing plans for Kodiak next November. We are planning to be in the field the 6-12. I'd prefer a longer hunt, but getting four guys schedules to cooperate that was our best option.
I have been in contact with several air taxi's in the last few days and it sounds like Kodiak Kamps is not currently in business for renting gear. I was wondering if anyone knew of any other options to rent one or two Arctic Oven tents with vented propane heaters?
We have a Cabelas Alaskan Guide 6 man tent and a Seek Outside 8 man tipi between our group. I also have the largest size Mr Buddy heater. We can bring them if needed.
As I type this I'm looking out the window at 50mph straight line winds. I just chained my kid's tipped over playhouse to a tree in the yard to keep it from blowing into the fence across the road. I'm a little concerned with the tipi idea in this type of wind!
I've never been to Kodiak and don't know for sure where to expect to be dropped in November. I don't know how much wind protection I can hope to find to set camp up in. I camp on sandbars a lot in the summer catfishing the river, so I have a good assortment of long sturdy tent stakes that hold pretty well. I can rig up windbreaks or shelters from whatever is lying around as well as most. I built a lot of forts around the ranch as a kid and never quite grew out of doing that type of thing. I have nephews now who are always up for going to build things out of sticks, rocks, and tarps when I have time.
My preference as of now would be to rent at least one Arctic Oven with the vented heater to help keep decrease interior condensation from the heater. We will have plenty of weight allowance for propane as we will be going with two Beaver's for 4 of us. If we rent just one Arctic Oven we wil hang out in it, dry gear in it, and sleep two in it plus two in the Cabelas tent. With propane heat there is no worry about finding enough wood.
Anyone have any ideas or advice about our plan? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
