Offering a couple looking to see what others have

1. I always get my tags prior to traveling. Way to annoying if someone is sold out
2. Groceries and misc gear. I order my jetboil fuel and anything else online for pickup at REI or Cabelas. Food as well for pickup. Allows better planning and not wasting time
3. Hotels around Fairbanks close 9/1. Coming out of the bush amd back to Fairbanks around the 17th can be difficult to find a hotel. And you dont know exactly which day you will be back in order to do it beforehand. As soon as I know we are headed back I text my daughter at home a date with InReach. She knows what it means. When I get phone service I will see a reservation for 1 of the few hotels open
4. Vehicle rental. For float hunts we get one of the Fairbanks taxi services to drop us off and pick us up. Cheaper then autorental and no worry about getting truck to take out
