So I'm heading out to Alaska for a few months, and while I'll be working, I'm planning on doing a fair share of hiking/mountain climbing (not hunting).
If anyone has experience in the area I'd love to hear your thoughts on what type of gun I should bring. I have heard a variety of thoughts on what to take, and would like to know what YOU think is a practical set up for self protection on hikes that take the better part of a week.
I'm open to suggestions on type of gun, holster set ups, etc.
Keep in mind, I'll be traveling with a buddy who packs a .44 (and can use it), as well as my dog, and all the gear I'll need for my hikes.
Also, has anyone driven into Alaska from the US lately? Any difficulty crossing the boarder with firearms?
Thanks for the feedback.
