pop-up to alaska

Depends where you go in Alaska. Some parks do not allow soft sided units. We had a pop up unit prior to our Alaska trip, and purchased a fiver for our trip. NO, that was not the only reason, we had been looking for a few years to up grade and that Alaska trip was driving force for us to change. Park rangers will visit your camp site to check how you store your food. We had an empty cooler outside our unit, and were informed that it was not allowed, even if it is empty, the BEARS can still smell it.
