Winter mountain goat is on the menu. I have 9 different shelters clogging up my gear shelves but no solid 4 season option besides flourless and a stove and I dont think that's gonna work well where we are going :chuckle:
Not really wanting to drop $700+ on a shelter I'm not gonna use again much, I'd like to borrow one. Need something that will sleep 2 people. Obviously if I damage it I would replace it and I'd be fine with leaving a deposit. If I dont get any takers I will just buy one but with float planes, tags, commercial flights, etc., the wife has become less "enthusiastic" about this trip :chuckle:

Wish I had something. I've got an old 1 person 4 season Bibler but nothing that would work for two.we aren't that close of brothers :chuckle:
Start a fund me post telling how your brother is going to be a homeless Veteran, and so on.👍if we keep spending money we may be needing it for our place of residence :chuckle:

I have a 13x27 Alaknak I can loan you, with wood stove, plenty of room. :tup:thank you for the offer my friend. I should have mentioned this will be a backpack hunt so the alaknack will be on the heavy side lol.
Are you packing on your back?yep we'll be living out of our packs :IBCOOL: :bdid: :chuckle:

I also have a 12x20 if that helps, :chuckle:those alaknaks are pretty plush! We used Bullblasters in Wyoming and CO last year and was very impressed! First night in WY the wind ninja chopped that poor tent all night and it never budged! The foot of snow the next night did sag it a tad though :chuckle:
Good luck on your trip. :tup:

I can't help.
If I'm going 4 seasons I'm putting it on a mule so being light takes a back seat..
Good luck and be safe...........

Karl,thank you sir! We are fully aware that this will not be an enjoyable hunt but when we look back on it it should be a great adventure. It's been a few years since I've done any type of mountaineering stuff to my winter will be spent being miserable :chuckle:

I've got a few different EXPED's available if you want to give one a go. Orion II UL or Orion III Extreme. This time of year, I'd go with the 3-person extreme version, especially in Alaska.thank you for the offer! Elkoholic is sending me his hilleberg to run through its paces. Though josh's promise of good goat juju is very tempting :chuckle:

Hey it didn't really keep us dry either so it's a multi-faceted offer. It all just adds to the story.

:chuckle: I want our story to include five key components. First is not dying from exposure. Second is not dying in an avalanche. 3rd is not being mailed to death by a grizzly bear. 4th is not falling off a cliff and dying. 5th is killing two legal billies with February hair 😍I've got a few different EXPED's available if you want to give one a go.
