trading in Alaska
I like to barter on places like Craigslist. Would there be any special items I may want to buy from the lower 48 to barter or trade?

Buy trailer(s) and or fan cooled sno machines. Not sure what you'd barter for that you'd want to haul back except guns which will be difficult or sketchy thru Canada.
Trailers are hella expensive in AK. I took 2 trailers to AK 2 years ago, not directly to sell, but to move with. Sold them when I didn't need them any longer. Sold an $1100 trailer I bought in WA used. For $3300 easily and another trailer I had owned for 8 years and paid $3500 for 8 yrs ago for $5500!fan cooled sleds, especially long track or utility machines are not as desirable in the L48 and used ones go pretty cheap. The ARE the preferred type of machine for a lot of people in AK and command almost as much or sometimes more than comparable liquid cooled sleds. Again, offered double what I paid for my kids 2 fan cooled machines. Kept them though.
