The purpose of this blog is to document my upcoming adventures as I move to Alaska. It is created to inform friends and family on my survival in King Salmon,Alaska as I start a new job at Katmai National Park.

I Love Cabela's
I love Cabela's. Just spent two hours searching for last minute items and for things that I am going to order from the catalog when I get up to Alaska. I picked up a clip on mosquito repellent thing that attaches to my belt or pack and keeps the bugs away so I don't have to mess with messy lotions or sprays. I bought a bug net that you wear over your head as I hear the mosquitoes get quite bad. I picked up a inexpensive GPS that will let me mark 500 wave points and 10 trails. So Craig and I can go hiking into the wild but find our way home again. Very important when there are no trails and when you have to avoid bears it could get confusing. I bought a new water resistant watch. I need that because I use to use my cell phone as a timer and time keeper but it is not going to work up there so. I also bought a rain outfit. It is made of a very weird feeling material but Craig wore his out in the rain today and it seemed to work well. Got a combination whistle and match holder. I even managed to get everything packed in over full suitcases. Two days left!
