For you folks that need an air transportation service. I'd like to recommend, Dave Hicks with N-2 Alaska, 907-616-1010. Flying out of Talkeetna Alaska. I've been using Dave for years now. Great bush pilot flying a 185 Cessna on floats.
Finding the dead birch tree should be fairly easy. Cut the bark off of it and form a cone. A plastic pint whiskey bottle with the bottom cut off works several ways. As a megaphone, if you put a stick in it and scrape it against a tree or brush it makes sounds similar to a bull raking a bush. You...
Yes north of Willow a bit. Heck I've not had the opportunity to get out to the cabin much the last couple years because of neck fusion surgeries. But do have a plan to fly out with a buddy and finish installing the water well. I will then have running potable water right from the kitchen sink...
Thank you. It's real nice to have a cabin to base out of. Surrounded by a kazillion acres of public lands that can be explored. Particularly since I'm getting oller. And it's nice to be able to bring myself beautiful wife out with me. She really enjoys the solitude. Also nice and have a place...
My happy place is at our remote cabin in the middle of nowhere Alaska. Nestled at the base of Mt Denali. I can go there for 6 weeks during moose hunting season and come back a different person. It's a place where time doesn't matter. Not very many places like this in this day n age.
Hunting in ak bush for 45 years. I stopped carrying a sidearm 20 years ago. I have been charged by a brown/grizzly bear while at our home, back porch. Shot it with a rifle from 4'.
While out at our remote cabin I generally don't carry anything. Just don't feel that the chances of being...
I have had the opportunity to adventure around Princ William Sound out of Whittier and Seward a few times. My buddy had a 22' Trophy Bayliner. We would take off for 4-7 days and just head out. Go exploring. This was before cell phones. Such a beautiful place.
Good luck on your journey
Good advice on bringing a few tarps along. Keep the meat dry and clean. Some powdered citrus to mix with water to put on the meat to help keep the flies off. And some duct tape to tape the game bags closed, tightly ! The blow flies will try to get it the bags. A couple small smokey fires near...
Still hunting can be productive for locating moose. Just move slowly and keep searching around. Finding the correct browse is important, birch willow n such. Move around the edges of the heavy brush and birch forests. Good luck n have fun
We have a hapsap variety of blueberry bush. Over 8' around and tall. The birds will eat every berry if not protected. We have plastic mesh over them and if we don't stake the bird mesh to the ground they will climb under the mesh and eat the berries.
The moose tend to prune them for us
As a dad and now a granddad. We homeschooled our kids and now my beautiful wife homeschools our grandson. While his mom works a remote job. I can say this. Our kids grew up to be successful in their older lives. They are very family orientated. Just as we were. We did a lot together as a family...
I wanted a build a cabin out in the middle so that when I got oller, like now. I will still be able to get out n go hunting. I have had a shoulder replaced, neck fused and now need a new knee. Played hard n worked hard.
Now i can sit on the front porch and hunt moose and bear
