I lift light (avoiding injury) until muscle failure everyother day (minimum). And do HIIT on days I lift to finish it off. I will be heading straight to the woods when I get back from my involuntary journey abroad, much to the dismay of the spouse. I started a ketogenic diet in January and I'm...
Get the numbers for some outfitters/packers in the area. They usually aren't out yet in archery season, but they will drive some horses up and haul you out if you need help. I packed in 5.1 miles, and set up shop. It snowed 3 feet the day I shot my elk, and got one trip out before my leisurely...
Well, I've already got my 1 ton and camper, but the kids still need to got to school for a few years (9). But that's a possibility down the road. After stewing for a week, I don't think Alaska's negatives outweigh the possitives. That place is just too wild. And with all of the Alaska reality...
Wilderness Areas have to be flown over by 2000ft per FAA FLIP, but there are some lower minimums and exemptions as listed above. The good thing is, that in the Frank 2000ft above, could mean that you are only 500ft horizontally from what you want to look at.
I too am hunting the Frank this...
Born and raised in WA (and I've ruled that out). I was stationed at JBER for 6 years, and have been trying to get back. I still own my house in Wasilla, and plan on building another in the Valley. Nothing compares to AK, and I plan on moving back in a couple of years. But, I don't want to factor...
I have an opportunity here in the not too distant future to retire. I am a resident of Alaska, so that has been high on my list. Having a family has recently brought other factors into my decision making as the day gets closer and closer. Outdoor activities are at the top of my list of factors...
Well, you won't notice much. There are different stages of hypoxia (which is what you're referring to), and at that elevation, you will be in the "indifferent stage" it will be the equivalent of smoking a cigarette or having a beer physiologically. No, you wont be drunk, but you will have less...
I have been looking for that WapitiBob since I switched computers. I have been using USGS TopoView. It's a major PITA to get the maps, but I do like how they Have GeoJPG, So you can pull them up on your smart phone or tablet, and get an icon on the map of where you actually are. Neat feature...
I used mine too for the longest time. SO comfortable, but I gave in to something more lightweight (Kuiu- some people don't like them, but I have nothing but good things to say. Mine fits me well, and performs as it did the day I bought it). I still bring it for a spare, or for when I need help...
I tore my ACL in 2011 at the age of 30. I got an Ossür CTS carbon fiber brace (one of the few braces rated for use in saltwater). I hunted Turkey with just the brace prior to surgery, and archery hunted after surgery for the next two seasons. I opted for the patellar graft option, as I am still...
I have the Gerber Camp Axe too. I think it's 9 or 10" for long pack trips, and the SOG Badaxe with a saw in the handle for car camping/hunting. That little Gerber is a lot packed into that small package.
