Sleeping bag for alaska
assuming you have it in a compression sack already, right? get a bigger checked bag, or strap it to your carry on. -20 is overkill, but an inexpensive 15 degree bag isn't going to save that much space or weight - 2lbs at most. Get creative with the packing - fill your boots with clothes, fill...- PRO MO

its been a constant struggle. She threatened suicide a couple days after my last post, so we got the police, and medical professionals involved - and at their recommendation sent her to inpatient treatment for a week. It seemed to work, and she was better for a couple weeks, but fell back into...- PRO MO

Alaska Caribou adventure 8/24
Day 10 – 8/21 Last day to hunt. Wake up at 6:15, and it was still a little too late. The group of bulls had passed us and were out by where my dad shot his bull. I grab by bow and sling my rifle. I want this nice bull, but want to give it a try with my bow. I sneak in, find a slight...- PRO MO

Alaska Caribou adventure 8/24
Day 8 - 8/19 Woke up a little late, had a lite breakfast, tended to my caribou's meat - nice and cold to the touch. Waited for 300prc to get enough energy to go pack his bull out. Dad left at 9:40 to go get the rest of his bull, just planning on shuttling it back nice and easy - and slow. 7prc...- PRO MO

Day 7 8/18 Wanting to sleep in a little today, so naturally there’s bulls outside our camp at 6:30, dad wakes me up to come look, but the close ones disappear before I can get out of the tent, but the caribou are everywhere.

Day 6 -8/17 fog until 11 kept things shuttered. Fog lifts, and two decent bulls are close. Get dad to go after them, got to about 375 and they walked off. Not as curious as the other others. 7prc and I chased after them through the marsh. Got in position, and start getting ranges of...- PRO MO

Day 4 – 8/15 It isn’t the start of the movement. Saw 4 bulls about 4 miles south first thing in the morning, too far to even make out size. Went on a fishing side quest - got two bites but no catches. Also went on a ptarmigan side quest. Pretty good walk, no luck though. Good caribou trails...- PRO MO

Day 3 8/14 Yayyyy, up at 8. Thinking I’ll eat some breakfast, drink some water and get back to another nap. Nope, decide I need coffee with breakfast. Then go chase ptarmigan, no luck - mature birds flush way out of range. Get back start glassing, not much new for caribou. Clean up the mess...- PRO MO

Day 2 – 8/13 Up at 4:00 see big bull way off in the distance. Too far. Up again at 6:00, same thing, plus one other smaller bull a lot closer. Go back to sleep for another hour. Big bull hasn’t moved, the smaller bull met up with some cows. Not worth chasing. Drink some good coffee, aero press...- PRO MO

Day 1 8/12 Flight day- Orientation in the morning. They like to overwhelm you with paperwork, making sure inreaches/zoleos are in working order - which left me with 3 of my groups devices getting them working - and tell you all the important field notes at the same time. Very frustrating start...- PRO MO

Favorite gun for shooting STOP signs?
