Videos and books, we have them all I believe. Very much enjoyed them.
Carolyn already has a 90 mile route more or less planned for when we move up... ugh...
I"d love to do the 1000 mile one but I just don't think its feasible for us in the future.
Ready for the next book or DVD!

We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Jeff The Brooks Range, or some other area? It will be an adventure regardless, no doubt.

I'm leaving Monday and am packing no food other than salt and pepper. I'll be on the coast of SE Alaska. I won't be hunting until each of the various seasons open. Before hunting season opens it will be mostly fishing, crabbing and berry picking with some other misc. plants mixed in for variety. Anyway, the planning is done and it's time to get out there. You can check out my plans and gear list and [b][u]find a link to my journal here[/u][/b]. I should be able to get data coverage in certain areas to update my journal. Please check it out! No coffee, sugar, bacon...nice knowing you...bye.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Actually can't recall the range, off the top of my head, but somewhat more or less from Ft Greely to somewhere between Sawmill Creek and Tok. She says its just starters. LOL. I"m pretty sure we'll just do it on no timeline, and as long as the food is there, the time it takes won't matter. For us it will be grand no matter. Maybe Alaska range/granite mountains to start with. I'd have to look.

Yep I enjoy reading his journals and lookin at his pix immensely
So fun for me cause I've been to many of the same spots hes ventured through
But I've done it the sissy way. Flown out flown in normally no more than two weeks at a time with plenty of food and gear
Whole nuther ballgame his adventuring
I admire the guy
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

I can't hardly make it two days with the wifey gone. I will starve if something happens to her.

Great adventure Buck. I bought your book and read your journal.
It inspired me to give " My Cove " a try . So we traveled to the island in August of 2016.
That portion of Admiralty is a Bounty Horn for sure.
We had silver salmon and Crab a few nights while we explored the area.
It was the first time I sampled goose tongue that was an interesting experience.
Did you meet the old sourdough that lived on the hill above the Lodge?
Thanks for the inspiration Buck...

Awesome Buck! I enjoyed the two videos you made years ago, and knew some Wildland guys that worked with you over the years when I lived up there. Full of envy for these adventures you've undertaken.

2 months with no whiskey, wine, mayo, cheeseburgers, fries, bacon. What a nitemare. Dayom. A masochist. Somebody had to do it. Im glad it was you. Good job.

Did you meet the old sourdough... One day when I was halibut fishing a guy was cruising the shore in a boat. He swung over and talked to me. Said he was scouting for deer and lived a few miles away. I bet that was him.
