Thanks for making you awesome videos. I am doing some homework to prepare for a moose hunting trip in September, 2014, and I have started reading Dennis Confer’s book, Hunt Alaska Now. Thanks for the great book recommendation. I have very much enjoyed watching your 700 and 1000 mile videos several times this year and loaned it out to my buddies that hope to make the trip with me next year, and we have made Confer’s book required reading for those in our hunting party. I watched the 1000 mile video again today and it has spurred a question. I did not see any toilet paper in any of your gear. Do you have any recommended species of leaves? What is your advice in this department?
Hi Bill,
I’m glad you’ve enjoyed 700 Miles Alone by Backpack and Raft and Alone Across Alaska! I mention TP on my gear lists so I do carry it:

Properly chosen “tundra moss” works quite well, too.
Thanks for the comment, and best of luck on your upcoming Alaska adventures!

Hey Buck!
.Next summer i wil do the same hike as you did in 2006. From Canada to Noatak. But i Wonder, can i start padling noatak in the last week of september or is that to late.
I have seen your film – across alaska and now i will walk in your footsteps.
Hi Jan,
That should be a great adventure. In my opinion the last week of September is too late to start paddling the Noatak. Winter arrives early up there.
Personally, I’d want to finish the trip by mid-September.
Good luck!
Buck
