A lot of discussion on gear on here, and I’m packing now so I figured I could put my list here. Maybe it could be useful to someone.
This is what I’m taking to Alaska to help on an August dall sheep hunt.
It would be adjusted to have warmer clothes for a later hunt

This is what I’ve found works for me. It may not work for you.

Feet
Schnees Teton boots
Darn tough socks x3
OR crocodile gaiters.
Croc camp shoe

Lower
First lite aerowool briefs x2
Kuiu Peloton 118 zip off
Sitka Ascent pants
Sitka stormfront rain pant

Top
First lite aerowool T
Kuiu peloton 118 T
Patagonia R1 hoody
Sitka mountain vest
Kuiu Superfown jacket
Sitka stormfront rain coat.

Head
Ballcap
Sitka Jetstream beanie

Hand
Sitka light windblocker glove
Sitka big warm waterproof glove (idk models)

Thanks for doing this. I think a lot of guys starting out have some questions about what a gear list looks like. This helps.
 
Gomer, are there still issues flying with isobutane or are you hiking in? I just got a screaming craigslist deal on a msr white gas stove specifically for taking to alaska to eliminate that hassle with flying.

I think there is. I’m hiking into 14c and will just get the iso in Anchorage.

I think you’re on the right track.
 
Water purification? Or is that not a concern?
I just knocked hard on some wood and will respond by saying I’m not bringing any. I’ve brought it before into the mountains and just never use it. Not saying that’s the right or a bright idea.

I’ve only ever used the iodine tabs a few times in Montana when getting water from a stale, stagnant alpine tarn. Other than that, i just drink it. So far so good. 🤞 👊 🌲
