I was a bit vague with the initial post. You guys should know already that we're no stranger to adventure. We've pretty much got it planned already. 4x4 with CB and two spares already reserved for a week. We planned on getting bear spray. Bears are easy to scare away, as we've had to do it on our hiking trips. However, Lori mentioned something about some permit she should have applied for two months ago that may cause a snag. The only thing I'm concerned with is using the core driller to get the permafrost samples. The company she rented it from recommended we have an experienced person use it and that it does not work well in rocky soil. Should be an interesting trip.
I don't want to make it seem like we're complacent. Yes, we are concerned about wildlife and are careful. I am more concerned with being eaten by insects than by animals.
