Hi I'm from Mississippi and just got invited by a friend to go to Tok Alaska for hunting at the end of August. He has friends that live's there so that is really nice. But I hate to bug them for details, Any advice would be great. We plan on driving instead of flying, Camping for a week in tents. We will be bringing two f250 deisels pulling trailer's w/Rinos. so far I have been told we will have to ride the rinos for twenty miles to campsite. All my friends say I will be ate by a bear? Once in a lifetime chance for me and the bear!!
The road trip is nice, really one bad section is around the border, mostly Canada side. Frost Heave Garden. You'll see.
20 Mile ride is not that long just have a backup plan for getting stuck in the bog. IE good working winch, back up for that and extra rope.
Are you mailing your guns up? The hassle of getting a permit in Canada is not worth it unless they have made it eaiser. Also consider a good bush gun for protection.
Have a good trip.

Do NOT use Fed-Ex to ship firearms unless the addressee has an FFL.
I recently sent a rifle to Fairbanks AK from CA.
Somehow the guy at the Anchorage AK Fed-Ex Depot discovered the package contained a firearm, and Fed-Ex's policy is firearms must be sent to an authorized FFL holder.
The rifle was then sent to Fed-Ex's security division in Salt Lake City.
It took several phone calls to finally convince Fed-Ex to ship it back to AK because it was an antique.
Antique firearms (made in or before 1898) do not require FFL's, as the BATF catagorizes antiques as NON-guns.
The rifle was supposed to arrive in Fairbanks within four day. It took 6 WEEKS before it finally arrived.
The US Post Office and UPS do not have the same BS policy that Fed-Ex does.
I had used Fed-Ex for years to ship firearms. I was never told by the local Fed-Ex shipper about their firearms policy, and they KNEW firearms were in the packages from the get-go.
