US Southwest Our trip to Deadhorse Alaska

[Desert Runner]

Traveling with long guns is easy in Canada. I had my 45/70 and 12ga with me. I was reminded , at the border that the use of a firearm for protection against an wild animal was strictly prohibited in Canada. I shipped my pistols from Montana and picked them up in Tok, Ak. On the way back , I shipped them back to Montana from Tok on the way back.

YUP.....BYPASSING CANADA WITH THE PISTOLS will work. For long guns, you have to think....'that's stupid' ...as that critter advances on you. Seems that BEAR SPRAY will be your only friend. I heard it works better than everything else, long guns included.

I am seriously counting down the days. We are ready to leave now, but want to be patient for better weather.

Thank you for writing the article. It has helped us plan, plan, plan...

Will call you in May before we leave to get any last minute advice.

Join us. We meet in Montana.

It is a trip of a lifetime. I did not write about the trip up the Alcan as I was limited on each article word count and I wanted to write about the most interesting/exciting aspects of the trip. Part three is almost finished and will be in the next TCT issue.

As I have mentioned before ,all the visitors centers are great resources of information. We found some great camping spots based on visitor center advice. Even though it was light almost all the time we tried to stop no later than 5-6 .

Good stuff, thanks. Planning of heading up this summer.

That's the trip I'm planning on next Summer from Colorado. I'm originally from BC and Alberta, but have never farther north than Fort St. John. I need to get the 1990 Defender 110 outfitted with new suspension before that trip happens though.

Arctic Adventures in a Vintage Land Cruiser

During the summer of 2018, my wife and I embarked on an Alaska trip. We thought we’d be gone about four weeks. 92 days, two trips to the Arctic Ocean and 13,000 miles later we made it home …

Hi all.. my wife and keep talking about a trip to Alaska, but we just can't get more than 3 weeks. I need more time if we plan on driving.
Maybe next year.
