    WooHoo Dropy!! The Lord works in mysterious ways his wonders to perform. I'm happy for you my friend and wish you the best of luck on your move. ( Believe me I know how hard it is)

    Congrats Dropy!

    Any general area in mind?
    Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
    Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

    We will probably begin in the anchorage/Wasilla/palmer area. We will use this area as a central locale from which we will branch out our exploiring until we finally find what we are looking for. HOPEFULLY I can turn it into a lodge type of business in the next couple of years. BIG DISCOUNTS FOR FELLOW ANTS!!! =))

    Great News!!!! Justa and I would love to be one of your first costumers. Seeing, River fishing Alaska and filling a bear/caribou/moose tag is on my bucket list.
    You don't need to be the strongest
    or the most intelligent to survive
    but by having the right tools and
    the adaptability of change
    is where you will prevail.

    Well it is very hard to get a hunting guides license, but I don't see no issue with 2 friends going on a hunting trip together =). Same goes for fishing, though fishing guide license IS easier to get.

    You pay your plane ticket there, I will pick you up at the airport, you pay for your hunting/fishing tags. I will cover the rest. Bear hunts in Alaska START at 5,000$ PLUS your tag and transportation.
