Thanks for the advice. How's the crime rate in most places? I would be nervous leaving my all of my stuff in a camper and going on a 5-7 day backpacking or hunting trip. I have thought of the camper idea and renting a parking spot in a secured facility somewhere. The residency would basically be so that I could hunt brown bear without having to pay a ton of money for a guide. Ideally I would like to make enough contacts and friends there to hunt Dall Sheep and Mountain Goat DIY as well. That's all a little advanced for me at the moment but I have the time to prepare.
