I love the Interior of Alaska, and love going back there through hunts like these. Thanks for sharing it Kevin.

A few bits of personal observations:

Food becomes an inadvertent countdown calendar on these hunts. Each day finds me counting what's left and adjusting my eating to balance things.



If you don't have it, make it. If you can't make it, learn to live without it. If you can't live without it, you might as well give up.

Expiration dates mean nothing. Food labels, batteries....you won't throw something away because of a date. Everything is important.

A stack of firewood is more valuable than a stack of money.

Credit cards can be used for reading material when you're bored.

A big handgun is an adult teddy bear at 9 pm.

That's it for today...next installment tomorrow.

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Love reading of your adventures Kevin!  Your prose and pictures draw us in and give us a taste of something most of us will never experience.  Thank you for taking the time to share it all!  
Looking forward to the next "sip"...

Excellent story, it must be a spiritual experience as well being all alone and exploring wilderness as man was intended to do and has done for hundreds and thousands of years.

How much rain did you get up to this point, Kevin?  And what were the temps?

Excellent story telling and wonderful pictures.

There is a solitude, and soul cleansing that comes with time alone in wilderness, thanks for sharing your adventure.
