[QUOTE="sea2summit, post: 2817972, member: 105720"] Three things are guaranteed in Alaska hunts; steep mountains that look small...but arn't. Alders so thick you can't penetrate. Devils club, most often you'll find this when you have to grab something to get up/over an obstacle and it will be the only thing there. Running is good, carrying a pack on rolling/steep terrain is much better IMHO. Small/light rifles and streamlining your profile will be helpful (ditch anything hanging off the belt stick it in the pack, bino harness could go either way but better to put it in the pack if you're on the move, streamlined small pack that doesn't extend above your shoulders and beyond your ribcage if possible). Good luck on round two! [/QUOTE]
