    What's the best waders?

    The Neos sourdough http://barneyssports.com/neos-sourdough-slipper-overboot.html is a good option. You may want to consider breathable chest waders with wading boots. The waders will also take the place of rain pants.

    Left handed youth rifles

    My kids have used a LH Remington 7mm-08 that came with an adjustable recoil pad (with plates) to shorten or lengthen the stock as the child grows.

    DIY moose

    Lots of airplanes that are not super cubs land on gravel bars. It depends on how long the gravel bar is, the approach, and the departure. Super cubs are great when the airstrip is short but there are lots of other planes capable of meeting your needs if the gravel bar is long enough.

    DIY moose

    I would contact a few air taxi's in Anchorage or Willow and discuss the area you are looking at. They probably have a number of lakes they have used before. Ask them about costs per hour of flight time for each type of aircraft. Two guys should be able to fit in a 185 or 206 if you don't bring...

    Renfro tragedy

    http://www.adn.com/alaska-news/aviation/2016/09/01/ntsb-site-of-fatal-midair-collision-near-russian-mission-very-challenging/ Sad day for everyone. This happens too often in Alaska. We may never know who was at fault and maybe no one is. Here is a link to a plane crash with the same outfit from...

    Hunt alone for moose?

    Surely you must know some avid hunter that would jump at the chance to go with you on your adventure. Ask yourself can I load a 150 hindquarter on my pack and then get the pack on and carry it back to camp by myself. If the bull dies in a river or lake can I butcher it in the water or get it out...

    2016 moose hunt

    There are lots of air taxi operators that could fly to unit 16B. The length of the air strip may determine the type of aircraft that can get you in and out of there and how many trips will be required. Call Trailridge air at 907.248.0838 as a starting point. You will need to know the weight of...

    kodiak island blacktails

    Buy a high quality 4 season tent as big winds and horizontal rain are normal Kodiak weather. Bring a bombshelter type tent if you want to be able to stand up. Hillbergs are top of the line as are Terra Nova, North Face VE25. Get a tent with a large vestibule for packs and other wet gear. Your...

    Backpacking camp stove?

    Another vote for the stove from China mentioned by Sagebrush. I have two and they work great. They are similar to the MSR pocket rocket but a lot cheaper. Get a titanium pot and a fuel canister and you are good to go.

    Hunting w/ resident relative

    If you put in for some drawing permits AK Fish and Game limits the number of permits given to those hunting with Second degree Kindred. Kodiak Island is one example as is the Tok Management Area for sheep. My non resident brother has collected almost everything Alaska has to offer. I remind...

    Looking to go fishing...

    If you really want to experience Alaska there is nothing like a fly out trip. Get away from the crowds and catch fish until your arms are tired. I have used http://pbadventures.com/ for hunting and fishing trips in the past. They do a great job.
