    Trail Security

    ‘You can get less time shooting a human than a bear or moose sometimes. They do not take poaching or wasting meat lightly.

    I completely agree. First and foremost you have to be paying attention and plan accordingly. This is my 72 hour bag. Should everything go sideways, this bag should keep me alive for up to 72 hours while help is dispatched. I carried 325 grain +p rounds which will wreck havoc on a predator...

    What was your first overlanding trip?

    Real overlanding, other than a day or two or pulling a trailer-last September. Anchorage to the Actic Ocean on the Dalton Highway. Edit: Adding this link from my facebook of the Arctic Ocean (hope it works)

    Research, research, research. The life you save may be your own. Buffalo Bore has a page that tells what is rated for their +p rounds. I worry about bears and moose mostly-is's common seeing therm on camera, or hearing neighbor reports. I do not believe you will find an experienced hunter...

    Hit the local hiking areas

    Portage Glacier on Portage Lake My friend said we should walk the frozen lake to the glacier. Something on my bucket list for a couple of years. So we snuck out one Thursday for the hike. He failed to mention 8 miles. It’s was a beautiful day. backpacks configured for 48 hours just in case...

    I would really really really research this a little more. 9mm and bear = on a trail, that would be very hard when I carry a 7” Toklat In a chest rig.

    Trail Security

    In todays world, even in the city, I am more concerned with having access to a resource for protecting me and my family. Specially should it get crazy while I’m out. So I carry a 9 on my person, a large bore sidearm close, and my “truck gun” is a Shockwave.

    Which tablet or Laptop?

    This question is one I’ve been struggling with. On my run to the Arctic Circle, the Hummer has a Pioneer AVIC-8200nex which I love using CarPlay. But the view was limiting at times. My plan is: Garmin inReach Explorer+ With my iPad Pro and Gaia software. The iPad Pro has a GPS. Use the XR as...

    What is your EDC Flashlight?

    Here is my current EDC. BYB F18 IIRC, 800 lumens, heavy enough, edges sharp enough to get someone’s attention. Living in a land where it’s night almost 20 hours a day, it has really served me well.

    Emergency GPS Locators

    The research I did, and talking to our guys here, I chose the Garmin inReach Explorer+. Crawling up the Dalton Highway, with very few services far apart, I kept it on my 72 hour bag, Bluetooth tethered to my iPad. Traveling alone, that’s the only way family would let me go. It pings Iridium...
