Hi Petey and all of you. Thanks for finally getting me official here!
First, about gear. I have been assured that I will be fully outfitted in everything I could possibly need, but that's a great point about the boots. I guess he needs to get those to me early. Honestly, being in shape to tromp through Alaska is one of my biggest concerns. Also I'm slightly concerned that with him being very experienced that he may overlook something that would be more important to a novice than it is for him. About the gun, my brother-in-law has a 30.06 that I can practice with. How comparable is the recoil to a .12 gauge shotgun?
Yep, I've camped in tents before, but it's been a long time. I'll get in practice again this winter. And those camping trips were always at a campground where there were bathrooms. I won't have a bathroom out there. How does that work, exactly? Also, he says I can have no bath or I can wash in a 30-degree creek. Why can't I just heat a bucket of water at the campfire?
