The Kayak that will take me through the wilds of Alaska and return me back safely, while at the same time carrying all of my gear

Ocean Trek, great fit for the NDK explorer

I have decided this will now be my backup paddle

Great pullover PFD

Best dry suits available.

The cyprus will be my primary paddle

This is the device I will use to both track my progress and let family and friends know things are going well. You will be able to follow my progress by clicking on the link to the right.

REMOVED from my kit due to second catostrophic unit failure

Made in the USA, these are fantastic knives!

Protection from the elements and extra survival gear

This is still the best camera I have ever owned and will be my main tool for capturing the scenery and wildlife

I will be taking three of these with me. One will shoot wildlife, one will be modified for Color Infrared and the Third will be a complete spare.

I will take a mixture of lenses with the 14-24 serving as my main landscape lens; the 105 VR my main macro; the 70-200 my main kayak lens; and hopefully, the 200-400 for wildlife (donations appreciated....)

I will be going with a combination of a Powerfilm 7W roll and the Brunton Solo 3.4 battery system

This is one amazing stove. Since my primary use for a stove will be boiling water for dinner, this is the ticket. I mean, this thing boils FAST!!

8x10 silnylon tarp

Hardcore mountain tent, garunteed to keep me dry and protect me from the wind

Water Purfication System

Water Purification Tablets

Fantastic hat for wet/cold conditions. See my review

Both the Ocoee and the Deck Bag are absolutely the best!!

I journaled on their products the entire way. They are fantastic for keeping notes.

These are incredibly versatile little bags. I carried two of them, one for water on the trail or in my tent. The other carried Olive Oil, absolutely perfect for that task.

It just works and refills easily off of your gas canisters. Well worth the money.

These bags are really great. However, if you have stuff that does not fit easily, stuff versus roll. The bags will last longer!

These bags are the best. They are strong, durable and very waterpoof. All of them that I started with are still in great shape!

This thing is the best. Some might question the need for a titanium spoon, but boy does it make eating peanut butter so much easier :-)

This design is really superb. Instead of a small hole opening, the top of the bag opens like a big zip lock baggy. Works perfect in my PFD hydration pocket.

Just add water towels. Simply amazing little products.
