If you're ever in the Imperial Valley stop by my taxidermy shop in El Centro for a visit.
I've got a lot of Alaska Airlines miles for free flights but my wife doesn't want me going solo anymore and we no longer have a sitter for our Labrador, she'd have to stay home to watch her.
I want to do...
I don’t use a canvas tent but I do set up a tarp above my tent even though it has a rainfly.
A gap between the tarp and tent will keep it cooler in the heat and drier in the rain.
I have Alaska Air miles to travel free to Deadhorse.
There are no vehicle rentals in Deadhorse which is why everyone flies into Fairbanks and rents a vehicle and even then it’s not easy.
I have a plan to fly into Deadhorse, inflate my 2 person kayak ( 2 person because my wife doesn’t want me...
My daughter tracks me because my wife is almost always with me.
There have been times when I was late getting home and my wife calls our daughter to see where I’m at.
I always carry a PLB when hunting and my iPhone has satellite 911.
I’m a long ways from Bozeman but if I can finish my workload next year by late July it would be an excuse to drive up there.
I’m almost done with my workload now, about 3 weeks worth to go.
My goal has been to finish by mid summer to close shop and flee from the hot desert until fall.
