Crispi Hunter GTX Boot Review #crispihunting By Jerry H. After many years of wearing Kenetrek's Mountain Extreme boots, they finally wore out enough that I needed to replace them. Numerous Dall sheep, bear, moose and caribou hunts in Alaska, had put enough wear and tear on them to demand a replacement.

Cabela's Alaskan Guide Tent Review My good hunting buddy, and frequent contributor to Remote Pursuits, is a guy who pushes gear as hard as anyone I know. If he has a piece of gear, it gets used. If he has used it for more than a few seasons, its worth paying attention to. Based on a few trips, and conversations we have had, I knew the Alaskan Guide Tents were burly tough and all they claimed to be. As such

My hunting buddy Jerry is a big contributor to Remote Pursuits. He helps me with gear reviews, puts up with my ideas, and is always ready for an adventure. Through Jerry I met Berke; and Jerry and Berke have been hunting together long before I ever met Jerry. Berke has been able to avoid the sickness we call "Sheep Fever" and Jerry and Berke seem to have moose hunting down to a science. I highlighted their success this fall as

This is Part 3 in the “Elk Hunt Alaska” series. Part 1 provided an overview of Elk in Alaska, Part 2 captured our adventure, and in this post I discuss the gear used on this hunt and how it performed. We established a base camp and hunted from the base camp. This was not a backpack hunt and Seahawk Air’s Beaver is basically an F250 on wings, so weight is not really an issue. Elk Range in Alaska

In my professional world I deal with all sorts of numbers, trends, statistics, and percentages. I transfer these skills to my passions, and using my planning and Excel skills I build pack lists and organize my excursions. This skill set has evolved since moving to Alaska, and my overall field success ratio (%) is lower than I would like it to be. Analyzing this trend led to me several conclusions. Dad & I My L48 pursuits were far less complex, and
