If you’re departing out of Whittier, don’t spend any extra time there. The locals swap the W with an S when they pronounce it. It is very appropriate. However, if you are departing out of Seward, consider some extra time. The Kenai fjords tour is fantastic, the sea life center is worth a...

I spent way too much money there over the years!

Botswana is a special place. I’ve hunted with Bronwyn’s husband Werner twice, but not since they took over management of Bokamosa. I assume that he was guiding some of the other guys in your group?

Here’s a pic of my son packing out a brown bear hide and skull. May not look like much in volume, but weight wise that’s a load!

Nothing else comes close. When they were adjusting it for me at Barney’s, the salesman had me carrying him around the store with it. If you get over to Anchorage, you should take the pack to Barney’s and have them adjust it for you.

Curious, does anyone know if a sitting president has had his picture put on currency, or is this a first?
