Awesome adventure and thanks for sharing it. I do a lot of canning at home, but would have never thought of packing a pressure canner along like you did. Looks like it made very good use of the resources you were able to kill/catch/gather along the entire trip.
Again, very jealous of your being able to take this adventure.
Grammar is important. Capitol letters are the difference between "helping your Uncle Jack off a horse" & "helping your uncle jack off a horse".
If you can't get 'fat' along the SE Alaska coast during the summer, you're doing something VERY wrong......
It's funny how different the world looks when you're actually out there and you have to walk and paddle for miles a day, when the fish aren't biting and your crap trap is empty, you're waiting for deer season to open and the berries aren't ripe yet.
Not many fat people on a pure subsistence diet.
I would presume that you are talking Following the existing laws while Steelhead is any game anywhere anytime,not moving camp every 2 weeks or so,haveing a power boat, chainsaw to cut wood [[or a slave to do for him]].
I would have thought that a prawn trap or 2 would have provided a change of diet and welcome feast . great trip will get a book or 2 .

Norm, I think you're right, a prawn trap would have been very nice to have. The trouble was is I had to draw the line on how much stuff to take, and there were tough decisions because it was in an unfamiliar environment for me.
If I were to do it over again I'd cut back on some gear and add other gear based on lessons learned.

Its all right to be white!! Stupidity left unattended will run rampant Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience
Just finished the book, could hardly put it down, awesome read!!! Thoroughly enjoyed it and made me more than a little jealous for the adventure. It definitely makes you feel like you are there.
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.
Thanks Dryfly. It was a trip I'd been dreaming about for decades. It's fun to hunt and fish "for a living." The challenge is when in the berries aren't ripe and the fish aren't running!
