It helps to know if you are looking remote (you know 300 miles from pavement that is at least 20 miles long. lol) or semi remote, or in town. You need different things for different situations.

Well... I wasn't thinking (you know 300 miles from pavement that is at least 20 miles long) but farther than 'in town' and not urban either (do you use the word urban in Ak?  ). I was thinking more 'on the edge' or would that be urban? |

I think we started one but got off track, it might be a good idea to do a more comprehensive list. Things are pretty busy out here but I'll work on one as time allows. First thing you should do is date everything when it's opened and keep a log so you know how much you use.

Unfortunatly... I have no real idea. But the supply list would be REALLY, really good for those who come here and think they may just take the plunge! Maybe some one of these days...

smwon:
I really wouln't know where to begin. In 20 some years out here we have accumalated a lot of stuff and the requirements have changed over the years. When we had a seasonal recreational cabin it wasn't much different than a extended camping trip. When we made it our year round home about ten years ago we packed up our entire contents of our home back in the land of the pavement and mailed it out here. I'm not trying to be evasive but the list varies so much depending on where you are and how much of the year you are really in the bush. A lot of people claim to live in the bush but spend most of there time with the pavement pounders. In Bristol Bay the seasonal workers like fishermen spend 4-6 weeks here then a big majority of the rest of the year is spent traveling. I think you will find the people who spend the most time in the bush are the ones that learn how to make the most out of what fish/game/gardens/etc that are available locally. Seems like there is a pattern here. No middle of the road people. Usually hard core either way wheather it is bush living, religion, politcs or whatever. Didn't mean to get off the topic but the answer is infinitly variable and depends on the area, length of stay, proximity and ease of access to services, and the persons previous experience. I think you need to identify an area first, determine what can or can not be used in that area then go from there. For example we live in the land of no trees and require a lot of things someone who lives in a wooden area doesn't require. My list is much different than someone who is just 100 miles north of us.

Perhaps I'm wrong but, it just seems there should a 'basic' list that everyone should have that would fit the needs of everyone, then expand on it for differing areas such as those wishing to be 'on the edge' (wash's term) or deeper into the bush. Just a thought. Nobody has to make up a list. I just really thought there was one. Ah, but you know, the mind goes first! |
