Er, there are a lot of different conditions in Alaska. Chris and I did a fair bit of training there, courtesy of our rich uncle - I believe we both taught survival training there as well (I did). What specifically are you thinking about? <br><br>BTW, other than the collection of lithic garbage scraped up to Alaska from all along the west coast of the Americas, there's not really much unique in Alaska IMHO. Parts of Europe, Asia, South America, and much of Canada offer very similar or identical conditions to various parts of Alaska. It IS a special place, just the same <grin>.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Tom
