I lived and hunted in AK, AND one of the best parts about an Alaska hunt is that you are waaaaay off the beaten path. So if you get in a bind, which can happen, it’s up to your wits and savvy that will make the difference between a great trip and a not so great trip. Help is a very long way...

Len, the trip log and photos were great, and inspiring. I’ve never been to Grand Canyon, and it’s got me thinking of a backpacking trip there. Thx again!

Thx….unfortunately Thanksgiving plans got in the way of a 4th rifle (very short season and family plans). Oh well, another donation to CPW

Are you hunting 3rd or 4th rifle? so if you’re hunting Unit 16 those seasons are you going to hunt private lands? Or BLM or SWA? I’m curious….I’ve got a 4th rifle either-sex In 16

I’d have to add that since looking at the all the posts about Marsupial, I took a look and that’s a pretty awesome case

For light, easy to use and functional, I can definitely recommend Rick Young Outdoors w the bingo bra. Very, very quiet and easy to use. IMHO

Found some IMR4831 at Natchez. Regular price. It too persistence looking tho. I wasn’t willing to pay the Highway robbery on the “auction” sites. Just keep lookin. Seems like things might be loosening up? Also found that Scheels will post where they’ve got stock, so if they’re in your area...

I found some in Virginia, but they can’t ship. Not much help if you’re not in their area. Name of the shop is Dance’s Sporting Goods. Also found some at Everglades, but you’d better be ready to sell your first born. (This is ridiculous!!!)

I don’t have any specific advice, but don’t assume the chrono is right. Be sure and double heck all of your connections, etc. may be worth a call to them they are super responsive. Just MHO.

Holy mackerel! Just went to gunbrokers and saw IMR4831 for $85/#!! That’s Highway robbery! Man, the situation w reloading supplies has got to get better! It’s crazy!

I second the bingo bra. I dont need the eyepiece caps any more. Just a simple lightweight design.

For simplicity, Rick Young’s is a great harness. I’ve hiked with it, ridden my wheeler w it, and it works. If you want ultra light weight and simple, then it works well.

Alaska Fish and Game has some really good advice given that most hunts are days away from civilization. Worth checking their site. https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=hunting.meatcare
