Great! Now what does the average trekker do to survive these conditions? This is a common problem with relating these experiences to others of us that wish for a similar experience. How do I do the same thing???
Ego aside. Want to attract more readers? Show us us skills to do the same thing as you did. We are NOT stupid!
I thoroughly enjoyed this adventure of substance. I'm looking forward to showing it to friends that I went on a simple Oregon pack with.
I am not aware of anyone having done a comparable journey in the Brooks in modern human history.
I believe that the native peoples, professionals and hunters that get to see some of this great Brooks country look upon Buck Nelson with admiration and perhaps some jealousy.
Do a quick google to Buck's extensive web site and there are some top notch light gear recommendations.
great journey cogratulations with your job.
