The Experience

A day in the field.

No room service. No catered meals. Just the hunt.

Reality

This is not a lodge hunt. There's no truck waiting at the end of the day. The country we hunt is days from a road, and the only way out is the way you came in — on your feet, with a pack on your back.

DAY 0

Wheels up.

You arrive in Fairbanks. We meet, sort gear, and weigh packs. The next morning we fly into base camp by Super Cub — one hunter at a time, gear strapped to the struts, landing on a gravel bar in a valley that's been hunted by exactly nobody this year.

Glassing the country
DAY 1–10

Glass. Stalk. Repeat.

Up before light. Coffee on the Jetboil. Climb to a vantage and glass for hours. When we find what we're after, we move — sometimes a mile, sometimes ten. You'll hike more than you've hiked in a long time. You'll see things very few people ever do.

  • · 6–10 hours of glassing per day
  • · 5–15 miles on foot, often off-trail
  • · Spike camps moved every few days
Camp under Brooks Range stars
EVERY NIGHT

Camp. Eat. Recover.

Spike camp goes up wherever the day ends. Hot meals, dry bag, a few honest words about the country we just covered, and you're out by 9. Tomorrow starts again at 4.

Be honest with yourself

Are you ready?

If you can hike 8 miles with a 50 lb pack on broken ground, you're ready. If you can't yet — start training six months out. We'll send you a program.
