[QUOTE="WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot, post: 119367, member: 685"] Well I made the leap and I'll be leaving the great state of ND for the great state of AK! I'm pretty excited about it. I know this is going to be a pretty broad question but what would you guys consider some gear/items to be essential or just make the experience more enjoyable up in Alaska. General hiking/backpacking gear I think I've got covered. I do need better rain gear for sure if you guys have any suggestions for that. Most of my hunting gear is covered I think but I would like getting into a better pack and a larger caliber rifle (most of mine are small calibers). I do flyfish so my 5 weight rod will be getting a big brother (probably an 8 weight) and I'm going to try and learn more about the offshore fishing when I get up there. I've never done any hunting bigger than deer here in ND and just looking for some suggestions on some gear that has worked for you guys, whether it be back country hunting/hiking, fishing or just equipment in general that would be nice to have (just thought of maybe a gopro while I was typing this). Thanks in advance, I can't believe my countdown to moving is just over a week away! [/QUOTE]
