GEAR

      As far as footwear goes its Xtratuf knee high rubber boots as the daily drivers on any of our Southeats Alaska boat hunts and chest or hip waders are highly recommended.  If we are hunting the Brooks Range the footwear will be mor akin to what you would need for a late September or October Elk hunt.  I would suggest Kenetreks or something similar since they give durability and enough stiffness to the everyday hunter without going overboard. Basically all there is to it is if you have merino wool next to skin, including socks, and as much merino as you can muster on up through proven goretex rain gear with a set of heavy duty rubber rain gear as back up you should be good.  Sleeping accommodations are all provided on the boat on our Southeats alaska hunts, Brooks Range hunts you will need an air mattress and good sleeping bag, a 5 Degree bag is what i would recommend as long as its small and packable. I have a Mlountain Hardware 5 degree bag thats 3 and 1/2 lbs which should be ur goal. The 10lb canvas bedroll needs to be left at home on the shelf.  You will need to bring your toiletries such as tooth brush and shampoos/soaps adequate for the duration of your stay.  We will have shampoos and soaps on board the boat that you are welcome to although personnel preference is not considered, Brooks Range camp is less modern so showering is much more of a luxury then an everyday occurence.
