    Those must be handy Brad! The extender worked well for me. Just can’t see anything you are hauling back there.

    Having used a ladder for years they were the norm on a work truck. Ladders still go up there, just not as often.

    Cold Trigger Finger I messed up, by not thinking ahead. I’m coming to Delta this morning for kids Dentist appointments. I should have coordinated to get a trailer load of fire killed for my bundled wood. I will text you later. We don’t have any in Tok- fire is still going.

    I’ve had an 03 since 2010 and it’s been super reliable. I’ve thrown some wood at it too!

    I just have to ask. I have never been to Alaska but have friends that have ridden motorcycles there and remarked how much worse the mosquitoes were. In MN where I live they are the state bird. So how were the mosquitoes working in those woods all day? I have to believe they were awful. How do you deal with them?

    Don't think I saw a single mosquito . This year they weren't bad. There is a while in June and July they can be a bother. . When things are growing fast . Now we are into late summer . The fireweed has died off.
    Sometimes after the first frost , the white socks get bad for a bit . That's why I usually pass on early season hunting.
