I eat alot of freeze dried meals every season. I go just about 100% freese dried any more. MH and Backpackers Pantry are the best product. My favorite MH is the Sweet & Sour Pork. But most taste very good. For breakfast I suggest the 'western style eggs w/ham'. For lunch we many times just eat a...- muskeg

Alaska's stand on Wolves
WOLVES Units 1, and 3-5 decrease the hunting season length by 2 months to Sept.1-Mar. 31, and the trapping season length by one month to Nov. 10-Mar. 31. On the other hand the Board just cut us back 2 months on hunting season !!!!! For no biological reasoning what-so-ever.- muskeg

Ken ..... You are right about the condensation problem. You cannot possibly get away from it in this country. And there is rain. It is true that Mossie is coming up to your neck of the woods and not on an underwater SE style hunt. I have guided hunts in the artic and ak pen region and I...- muskeg

Jim .... I don't think I ever told anyone ever that a tent won't get wet. And yes it's true that when you break down and reset up things get wet. And it's the best feeling to know you have dry things at base. I nik-wax my fleese, goretx, flys (sometimes), nylon raingear. But I use the stuff you...- muskeg

Moosie ..... On an extended hunt like you are taking you will probably need to do the ears, lips, nose, eyes. You will need a very sharp tool for this job. Talk to your taxidermist. Use a scaple.- muskeg

This is one of our typical Goat camps for 2 persons. One guide and one hunter. This camp is 1 1/2 days from the base lake camp.- muskeg

I set up a base camp at the lake and pack a tent up to the top usually. Once set up on top I don't move it. The base camp gives us a dry place to come back to because all the mountain stuff is usually wet. On late fall hunts we take in 2 sleeping bags each so we have a dry bag to get into to go...- muskeg

Hunting Knife..
Now-a-days I just use a scalpel handle. It just takes a second to change the blad out. I just bury the used blades. They are very sharp and are very easy to skin and bone meat with. It is also very light for backpacking when every once counts. With a box of blades come a free handle. You just...- muskeg

I can add that I was almost impressed with Swazi Davies Bivi (his conpany makes) he brought this last season. Have you read the story of that hunt? The Kiwi's Goat hunt I don't think Davey will ever bring a a 'down' bag on a backpack hunt up here again. If it were not for his good Bivi he...- muskeg

Don't do it. If you really need it you need it to be the best. Over the years I have seen all shapes, sizes and materials. Most (all) of the lower grade type do not work when needed. You best go with the Outdoor Research #1 or #2 models.- muskeg

Bought a new Home for Alaska...
I don't go on any camp out with out a Bivi. If my hunters don't have a good one I give them one to use. You can not skimp on quality of such an important part of your gear. The lesser ones just will not work the way you will need them to. I use the OR Delux (Item No. 21828 $219.95) or the OR...- muskeg
