[QUOTE="grinnergetter, post: 1345465, member: 9524"] Kodiak Lessons Sept. 2017 That scrub brush is 5 ft tall and thick as h@@#. Also has pointy barbs. Cassul in a chest rig will always be on me. Not even noticed. When the salmon run and you are camped on freshwater....A bear fence would have at least allowed better sleep. Everything will be wet. Period. Your front side is not supposed to smell like your backside. Haha. Never,ever,ever, leave the headnet at home. I'd be in a asylum without one. If it looks steep you can bet it is way steeper than you think. I would have fell/slid around 300 yards if it weren't for a buddy in the right place at the right time. Yes, it really can rain for 3 straight days. Relentlessly. When the sun comes out it is freakin beautiful. Bucks are not supposed to live just below the mountain goats. Be ready to climb. You need 2 walking sticks. Don't care how tough/agile you are. A level spot for a tent is not existent. Take camp shovel. Bears can scare the bejeebers out of you when it's dark. Strong flashlight. Have your plot circle the area a few times looking for ridges to travel on. Looking back I would want to be at the base of a mountain hopefully on a tight curve so I could walk beach to cover more sides of mountain without fighting vegetation and elevation needs. When the bucks are up that high you don't want to spend 2-3 hours just getting to the base of the mountain. Sleep with one hand on revolver and the other on flashlight. Same position every night. You will lose 10 pounds in a week. I had it to lose. ENO rainfly worked excellent. Heavy lube on handgun sights would have been a good idea. Fighting surface rust now. A cheeseburger after hunt never tasted soooooo good. My first unsuccessful hunting trip was pretty successful. [/QUOTE]
