I can figure out Canada paperwork for guns, what the hell would the US want?
I don't think he meant hard to get the guns into AK, just need a passport to re-enter the US. Rost, Have a copy of your Canadian paperwork to show US Customs......don't lose it. US wants you to prove you didn't acquire the firearm in Canada. I have a Canadian PAL [possession and acquisition license] so I don't have Canadian paperwork.......therefore I acquire an export permit form US Customs before leaving US.

I'm thinking a simple shotgun of some type, may have to buy a simple double, but would like the 870 instead.

Food, I'm simple, I"m by myself. Loaf of bread... sleep in the truck mostly.
Will remember Contact Creek if I see it. No expert on bringing guns, but must have “call ATF” on my forehead or something. Back in the 80’s, traveling by bus (almost empty at that) I was questioned about weapons in my luggage. “No, none.” Then, did I happen to own any handguns? “Yes” “Where are they?” Repeat. But they never searched. Another occasion I had a cased 45-70 up on top for inspection if necessary. Declared It straight away. (No paperwork back then.) They immediately put me at the curb and had everything inside the car out on the ground. Finding no handguns up inside the seats, behind the dash , or elsewhere- and with a trunkbevery bit as intimidatingly stuffed as the interior had been, they quit. (Sure glad they stopped when they did. I suspect that 41 Remington Magnum ammo in the trunk might have tripped a trigger or two. ) And here I thought they were looking for a bag of weed, or something.

Damn... and I was hoping to bring along some handgun ammo even though the handguns would already be there.... LOL. Maybe I just have to bring brass or components only.

Technically and legally one would think that would be okay. And I know drugs are an issue, especially at certain crossings, but they get real serious about handguns as well. I just use the USPS when shipping components anymore. A piece of plywood in the bottom, (or a complete wooden box) to fit perfectly inside a Flat Rate box and you’re golden. In fact I have 50 pounds of 22, 30, 375, and 45 cal bullets I cast this summer from discarded gillnet leadlines sitting in a medium flat rate box ready to ship. 😎. They may not like it, but “if it fits, it ships”! 😁

No handguns. I know better than that. LOL.
Might have to think about shipping, but part of it was the ability to bring what loaded ammo I have already... but I know.. can't have it all.
Drugs will all be RX stuff with my name on it, mostly for kidney stones, and antibiotics for the trip. No alcohol. Don't do the illegal drugs and never have.

As long as you are aware of their sometimes intense suspicions of those two things especially. It may be a breeze, and apparently often is, but you never know. One kind of places themselves at their mercy on the borders.

I'm sure a truck with a slide in camper pulling an airboat will get some kind of extra attention....

If they hate airboats in Canada as much as we hate them in Alaska... you may have trouble... They might be afraid you will drop it off in their country!

Yep. Cell phone, spare tire, and a credit card.

If you're hauling lotsa gear, put the spare tire and jack out where you can get at it.....
Those undercarriage spare tires can be a PIA.
I haven't changed a tire on the Alcan in 3-4 decades.

I haven't changed a tire on the Alcan in 3-4 decades. LOL I bought expensive Michelin 100K treadwear tires... had not had an issue in years either. Then had a road hazard get us on the road in heavy traffic last fall. I got to the tire just fine. But somehow I had the dang jack buried. But I had a 10 ton bottle jack at the tailgate. Luck! Nope, I needed the long jack rod to get the spare loose from undercarriage... I dang sure will have a "loose" spare available, even if I have to put it in the back seat. And one up under too. To all so far, You have certainly noted some things that I may not have thought of and I appreciate it much so far. Also noted plenty of things I KNOW about, but could possibly forget. Thanks, Jeff

Jeff-
i can recommend not having the spare too loose.
Don't strap it on the top of your trailer load late at night, in the dark, at 20 below, when you are tired.
You might part company.
If you take the time it takes, it takes less time.
