My DD2 who lives in Alaska sent me this link about a couple hiking/rafting from Seattle to the Aleutians. They are passing thru her costal fishing village this week and will be speaking at the local Forest Service office tomorrow.

Their site has some very interesting discussions about gear that y'all might find interesting. They seem to have thought their needs thru very carefully.
