Alaska is a big place.
Homesteding is over, and damn few state sell outs going on.....just do the right thing NOW and move here.Dont waste time, move!
Most of Alaska is open public lands. 2 week tent camps and a move to new resources (hunting/fishing/trapping/firewood) Its a great way to go!!!
You need a hunting/fishing/trapping license. You really need to be a resident to benifit without pullin $ out your nose.It takes a year to become a resident, but you can learn alot in that year.
Use a tent, fish with a net, hunt with a firearm, learn the "AX" and be smart about what your up to.
Obtain and bring along a woman....or find one here that loves to camp, they are around.Im sure one of your pards doesnt want to tend the camp, cooking, skins, meat, cut fish and sew for you.
I bring along the woman and my 7 kids (See, you need a woman
long winter nights you know)
Look up some of my first posts and think about it.
if you want to "Survive" go for it and enjoy your stay.
if you want to make a living at it, your gonna need alot of time put in with fellow hunters who can show you the way, like a helping apprentice.
Good luck, and avoid the "Into the wild/Brokeback Mt." stuff.
