Helpful Ideas for Alaskan Travels

We just ler our stepdaughter stay at our house as we have cattle. Really simple. She loves running a John Deere in her Bikini and causing traffic jams. I think it's funny you tell people to haul all this extra weight to AK. Having driven 2.4 million miles I only carry Duct tape, a pair of wire twist pliers (they have nippers) and a roll of SS wire, binoculars, camera, and reflectors as they are required. Bear Spray? Whats that? Deodorant for a bear? They won't blink if you have a chance to spray them and you will be mauled if a bear is that close. I work with a number of people who have spent many years in the woods here in AK. One actually used bear spray many times in his work to try and chase off bears. His expereince was that it worked on some bears but some bears weren't effect at all by the spray. He carries a firearm as do the others
